83 Chapter 82. (1/2)
After I made my exit, I locked myself up in my prison cell and continued practicing alchemy for two days straight without rest. I realized I was too naive the first time I concocted pills. I'd been ruminating for quite some time on where the mistake was, but I wasn't able to figure out what went wrong. All I knew was somewhere along the lines I messed up, but it was still a valuable first experience.
I gave up on that pill recipe since I no longer needed it and figured I'd try my luck with random concoctions. I have the perfect test subjects after all. All these prisoners are just the perfect lab rats, aren't they?
Using the LP I had accumulated until now I bought a bunch of random medicinal herbs and started tossing them into the pill furnace at random. I also purchased a fire manipulation cultivation technique for 2000 LP. Honestly my stocks were plummeting, I'd been spending LP like it grew on trees. At some point I had accumulated a total of 25,000 LP. However, after the last two days my balance had plummeted back down to 10,000 LP.
But that is okay, as these points spent were an investment. I, of course, was naturally plotting something. An aphrodisiac strong enough that it would be able to affect my wife.
When I searched through the shop in the past I did come across aphrodisiac pills, I purchased them to test their strength. But when I finally tested them, I realized that although they were rather effective, they were nowhere strong enough to actually affect my wife in the slightest. All the aphrodisiacs available I saw back then when I first acquired the system were only effective on mortals.
Basically, it meant my wife was clearly looking down on my stamina. It also made me realize she did not really intend to really put out anytime soon. It also allowed me to realize something else, that night we definitely didn't do anything. Damn it all! I'm clearly still a virgin then!
When I looked up the cost for the strongest type of aphrodisiac in the system I was left terrified. It was a trillion LP. I came to realize it was very likely my wife would only put out much later on in our relationship. To my horror, it seems she only intends to tease me until I am strong enough to be seen as her equal.
Thus, my plan now was to create an aphrodisiac that was strong enough to bring even a lower realm god down to their knees. It needed to be an aphrodisiac that ignored cultivation.
It was truly a mix of sugar and spice and everything nice. I even included some chocolate just to add a touch of flavour to it. I couldn't have my wife eating something disgusting, now could I? I also discovered my wife had a sweet tooth, so it would be easier to get her to try it if I disguised it as a snack.
Finally, after my two days of concocting, it was complete. Before my eyes was a beautiful chocolate covered pill. I termed it, the chocolate covered almond, the most brilliant snack ever created since the beginning of time.
I figured it would be bad to only have one though, so I spent three more days concocting as many as possible all with the same intended purpose. Of course, they were all chocolate covered. I figured I'd make it my trademark and patent it in the future.
While I concocted I naturally didn't forget about my cultivation, my power suit was on autopilot the whole time exercising my body for me. Thanks to the efforts of my power suit, I broke through to the peak of the semi transcendent realm.
In case anyone was wondering how the whole scene looked, imagine me doing squats or jogging on a treadmill with a pill furnace on front of me while I was practicing manipulating fire with the cultivation technique I had purchased.
When I was finally finished with concocting all the pills, I decided to take a break to test out the effects of the pills. I naturally went out to find little Han who had continually pestered me to come out from outside my room for the last five days. I had ignored him since anything that had to do with a MC could only be annoying and it would have interrupted my little concocting session.
I passed by several prisoners and made my way into the Dragontherun ward. However the moment I reached the ward, my path was blocked by a muscular looking prisoner.
”Stop! Who goes there?”
”Eh? I'm from the Toddlepant ward, I'm just paying a visit to someone.”
”Get lost! This is the Dragontherun ward, a Toddlepant ward beggar like you can't enter here.”
”There was such a rule?”
”Of course there is. Are you one of the noobs from the most recent batch?”
”Uh, I guess you could say I am.”
”Then I'll let you in on a little secret, if you want to pass through here it's not like it's absolutely impossible. You catch my drift? But for someone that looks like a beggar, the price might be a bit too difficult for you.”
”Uh, what if I said I was the attendant to the director's daughter?”
”Hah? Someone that looks like you? Buddy, have you lost your mind? Did you undergo too many experiments for Prisoner Points to the point that you lost your sanity?”
I thought I would be pretty famous after what happened back then, but I suppose I had been locked up in my room for quite some time already. Maybe the news died down thanks to my seclusion.
”Besides buddy, didn't you hear the rumours about that so called attendant?”
Oh, they did actually circulate after all? What kind of awe inspiring rumours have spread?
Slightly expectant, I probed him for the details, ”what rumours?”
”This is just between you and me, but people have been saying he is a sex deviant who has locked himself up in his cell room with the director's daughter as well as another hot babe. They've been going at it day and night like the world was coming to an end. Every single day without rest. Some say he's just a sissy boy who likes getting it up the rear end by little girls and sexy older women.”
What? Are you kidding me right now?! This is how I'm viewed?!
With a flat emotionless voice and dead squinted eyes I said, ”wow, that guy sounds like a real pervert.”
I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. How can I possible claim to be the deviant from those rumours? Did she maybe get another attendant while I was locked away? Who is the sexy older women in the rumours anyways? I don't remember getting lucky while I've been here, so where do those rumours come from anyways? It couldn't be my sister in the rumours, right? Ugh, am I being stuck with the sins of pedophilia and incest when I'm already a normal married man with a clear conscience? I'm not a lolicon damnit! I didn't ask to be her attendant, okay? It just happened! There was nothing you can do when a little girl sits on your lap and treats you like their big brother.
”You know what else I've heard about that sex deviant?”
There's more? I really don't want to know at all. Of course, I could only just nod with eyes telling him to continue on.
”I've heard he's a sort of drug lord. He apparently handed out some strange pills to someone in our ward. Thanks to those ridiculous drugs, there was some poor kid who drowned himself in lust and ravished his partner for five days straight all while keeping the entire ward wide awake due to the never ending moans throughout the night.”
That stinking little brat! You really had a good time, didn't you? How did it leak that I was the one that gave him those pills anyways? Was it Aoi? Tch. That skank, spreading more unnecessary rumours. How am I supposed to test my pills on prisoners now? Well, they are disguised as chocolates and I guess no one knows who I really am still. It would be good to see the effects of the pill on both males and females in case of unforeseen accidents.
Well, since this guy liked to smear dirt on my name, I figured I'd make him the first test subject. I didn't want to cause a scene and force my way through since I wanted to secretly use the prisoners as my own personal lab rats.
”That guy really sounds like a scary person. Anyways let's forget him for now. I really need to see someone inside.”
While I said that I took out a pack of cuban cigars I had purchased using LP and also a chocolate covered almond. When I took them out and acted suggestively he discretely took the pack of cuban cigars.
”You mind trying this as well? It's some really good stuff, if you know what I mean.”
”Who's it made by? It wouldn't be something from the man in question, would it?”
”Of course not. It's actually just chocolate. I was just offering a sample.”
”What the hell, you know how to joke buddy? The way you worded it, I really thought it was some sort of new drug. Hahaha.”
When he let his guard down, he took the chocolate covered almond and tossed it into his mouth and ate it.
”It tastes pretty good. Are you planning to sell these?”
”Maybe, right now I'm still practicing.”
”Oh? You made it yourself?”
”... yeah I did.”
Was it a defective product? There were no signs of any reaction from him at all.
”That's pretty surprising, I really thought you were just a useless beggar.”
