There were three main types of potions in Terraria.
They were recovery potions, buff potions, and miscellaneous potions.
The first type was the simplest. They were nothing more than healing and mana potions of different levels.
The second type of potion could provide Drake with various buffs for a limited amount of ti.
For example, a "Swiftness Potion" could increase speed, while an "Ironskin Potion" could increase defense.
Sothing like a "Danger Sense Potion" could even allow Drake to detect nearby sources of danger, such as traps and chanisms.
Whether for combat or exploration, they had extrely powerful support effects.
There were also so potions with more unusual functions.
Although they could not provide buffs or recovery effects, they were still very important.
For example, the "Recall Potion" Drake had used before could quickly return him to his spawn point.
This potion also had an upgraded version—the "Potion of Return."
Aside from teleporting him back, it could also create a return portal, allowing him to quickly go back to the location he had teleported from.
Crafting a "Potion of Return" required an Obsidian Fish, a fish that could only be caught in lava.
With Drake's current progress, he was still quite far from achieving the goal of "fishing in lava." For now, he could only make do with Recall Potions.
Aside from that, there was another special potion that required all seven types of herbs to make.
After crafting enough buff potions for use, Drake used the remaining materials to make one bottle.
At this mont, his expression was extrely subtle, mixed with a hint of amusent.
[Gender Change Potion (Blue): Changes the user into the opposite sex.]
That was right.
The function of this potion was very simple. Just as its na suggested, it could alter the drinker's biological sex.
Such a world-shaking effect could be achieved simply by drinking a single bottle of potion.
One had to admit, this was very Terraria.
Drake certainly had no intention of using this thing himself, but he could keep it for when the right opportunity ca and give it to soone else.
As for what opportunity, and who he would give it to…
That would depend on fate.
"These potions should be enough to defeat the Eater of Worlds."
Drake swept his gaze over the dazzling array of buff potions in his inventory. The action plan he had just drafted surfaced in his mind.
King Sli had already been defeated. His next targets were the remaining early-ga bosses.
These included the Eye of Cthulhu and the Eater of Worlds from the original Terraria world.
In addition, there were the new bosses added by the Calamity Mod: the Desert Scourge and the Crabulon.
According to Drake's plan, the Eye of Cthulhu should be his next challenge target.
It could naturally spawn at night, though certain conditions had to be t first.
It could also be manually summoned with the "Suspicious Looking Eye" item.
For it to naturally spawn, Drake needed to have used at least five Life Crystals.
A Life Crystal was a special item that could be found while exploring underground.
It could permanently strengthen Drake's vitality. In ga terminology, it increased his maximum life.
Although Drake currently did not et the natural spawn condition, he could craft the boss-summoning item and actively summon the Eye of Cthulhu himself.
"Or I could actively craft Life Crystals."
"But that would require using Glowing Mushrooms to upgrade Lesser Healing Potions."
"Looks like I still need to keep exploring the underground areas."
Glowing Mushrooms were plants that only grew in the Glowing Mushroom bio and had a wide range of uses.
They could be used like wood to craft furniture, and they could also be combined with other materials to brew potions.
Among the few buff potions Drake currently could not craft, one of them was the "Shine Potion," which required Glowing Mushrooms.
Aside from that, one of the planned bosses he needed to challenge, Crabulon, could only be summoned in that environnt.
No matter the purpose, Drake first had to find a Glowing Mushroom bio.
...
Over the next few days, Drake passed his ti in constant busyness.
For the shop in the main world, he had already asked Hestia to co over and watch the store.
Although the rice-bug goddess was usually unreliable, she was still quite earnest and responsible when it ca to work.
Especially after Drake gave her an outfit of casual clothes brought back from Tokonosu City to use as her work uniform, she beca even happier.
"It's a pity I can't bring comics and novels from 'another world' to her."
"Otherwise, with Hestia's shut-in tendencies, she'd get hooked in minutes."
Looking at Hestia, who was currently sprawled over the counter and slacking off, Drake could not help thinking this.
"If only I could sign contracts with gods too."
Drake only dared to entertain that thought in his heart.
Although his relationship with the two goddesses was pretty good, it was not good enough for him to take the initiative and expose such a secret.
Unless his strength had already beco comparable to the gods, or…unless the other party willingly ford a contract with him.
However, secretly using [Appraisal] to peek at a god's contract potential was still not a problem.
After secretly throwing an [Appraisal] at Hestia, a line of text appeared before Drake's eyes.
[Hestia (Red): Contract Skill — Grace of the Sacred Fla.]
She really did have a contract skill!
And it was even "red," one of the highest rarity colors!
Characters like Lili, Rika Minami, and Shizuka Marikawa, who also possessed contract skills, had at most been green rarity.
As for Rei Miyamoto, Saya, and the others, they were rely the lowest white rarity.
Saeko Busujima was rather special.
Although she did not have a contract skill, the color identified by the appraisal was a higher-grade pale red.
That was why Drake had taken the initiative to send her a contract invitation.
"As expected of a goddess. Her status is maxed out right from the start."
Later, Drake also found ti to use [Appraisal] on Hephaestus.
He discovered that she possessed a contract skill called [Grace of Forging].
It seed to be a skill similar to Hestia's. As expected of good sisters who were both virgin goddesses!
For now, however, all he could do was envy it.
Only after he truly obtained the recognition of a goddess would he consider ntioning the matter of a contract.
...
After handing the shop in the main world over to Hestia, Drake spent the rest of his ti entirely in the other two worlds.
After all, due to the difference in ti flow, spending ti in Terraria and the Apocalypse world was equivalent to gaining double the ti for free.
According to his plan, Drake began carrying out extensive exploration of the underground area.
He directly found a spot near the spawn point and manually excavated a mine shaft that continued downward.
The surface and underground were connected by ropes. If he encountered a cave, he would open another branch tunnel.
If nothing unexpected happened, this mine shaft would eventually lead straight to the lowest layer of Terraria—Hell.
Obviously, this was an extrely massive project.
Fortunately, Drake had enough experience and patience, so he steadily pushed it forward every day.
Although he failed to find a Glowing Mushroom bio over the past few days, he did harvest many ores, as well as large amounts of dirt, stone, and other building materials.
He even discovered several Life Crystals and used them on the spot.
The feeling of using a Life Crystal was like a warm current flowing into his blood vessels, filling his entire body with a gentle heat.
If he went back to update his status again, his basic ability "Endurance" would definitely improve by a large margin.
In the Apocalypse world, Drake was not idle either.
Although to him, the zombies of Tokonosu City had even weaker combat power than goblins on the first floor of the Dungeon, every ti he finished Ais's "training," he would return to the Apocalypse world and find a group of zombies to practice the techniques he had learned that day.
At the sa ti, he fulfilled his promise to the two high school girls and took them to look for their families.
"The mansion up ahead is my house. Wait—"
Saya, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly tensed.
She stared at the estate in the distance, where columns of black smoke were rising, and bit her lip tightly.
Drake also frowned slightly as he looked ahead, because this was sowhat different from the plot he rembered.
'Saya's ho… has actually been occupied by zombies?'
