Gu Xi is still on her way back, and even if she hears the notification, she can't stop to check.
Aside from some difficulty breathing, she had no other symptoms. She only checked on her condition after returning to the ship.
Opening the character's stats, the first thing you see is that they've lost about one-fifth of their health. Originally 400 health, now only 320 remains.
Seeing this, Gu Xi felt dizzy again. She hadn't expected that a mild case of poisoning could be so severe.
Most importantly, she lost 80 points of blood in just about 15 minutes after being infected with mild poisoning, and this state was expected to last for 12 hours.
Gu Xi kept a close eye on the changes in her health. A few minutes later, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the rate at which she was losing health seemed to have slowed down.
What's going on? Gu Xi was filled with doubt.
She recalled the difference between now and just now; the only difference was that she had just used her mental power.
Does mental strength accelerate blood loss?
With this guess in mind, she began to circulate her mental energy slightly, then counted to 60 in her mind. Sure enough, when the time was up, her health points dropped significantly.
Gu Xi quickly withdrew her mental energy and fed herself a healing potion. Only after the potion filled her health bar did her anxiety subside.
She now understood that her sudden drop in health was due to using her mental energy. Using mental energy caused her to lose 5-6 health points per minute. Without it, her rate decreased by half, losing approximately 2 health points per minute.
Once the situation is clear, things will be much easier. As long as she feeds herself the blood vial in time, she can get through these 12 hours. However, she probably can't use force during these 12 hours.
Gu Xi glanced at the octopus playing with the medicine bottle, then squatted down and poked its head.
"It's up to you and Shark King now. You two have to protect our home, understand?"
"Chirp chirp!" The octopus looked up and chirped happily, then used its two tentacles to nudge the potion bottle around.
Gu Xi stood up. Although she couldn't use force right now, she could still do other things. It was only 10 a.m., and if she could wait until 9 p.m., she would be free from the poison.
During this time, she could use it to smelt aquamarine ore.
The smelting room had been built long ago. To protect against high temperatures and fire, she not only used ember crystals for the walls, doors, and windows, but also laid ember crystal floor tiles on the original lower deck. The smelting room was arguably the most fireproof place on the entire ship.
She only mentioned that aquamarine can be extracted by high-temperature calcination, but she hadn't researched the specifics of how to do it.
After a moment's thought, she decided to first build a blast furnace in the smelting room using ember crystals, place the aquamarine ore on top, and then place fire elemental essence below to heat it.
Since there were no blueprints for the blast furnace, she had to build it herself.
Gu Xi first shaped the embers into brick shapes, then stacked them together. She used the remaining bio-glue as an adhesive.
After working for most of the day, it wasn't until after 4 p.m. that she finally managed to build a decent-looking blast furnace.
Gu Xi couldn't wait to put 100 portions of aquamarine ore into the furnace. Then she placed 10 pieces of fire elemental essence under the furnace.
Gradually, the Fire Essence began to emit intense heat, baking the ore above. A countdown of 12 hours was also displayed above.
The temperature inside the smelting chamber gradually rose, and even the ice crystal cooler could not block the heat.
