"Bad news?" Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat, sensing sothing ominous, and his face imdiately turned grim. "Tell ."
Zhao Chunxue gave him a deep look, sowhat pitying, and said, "If you take a closer look, you'll find there are still traces of potion in your body. However, the potency is too strong, and it's hard to absorb.
Although the residual potion will gradually fade over ti, if you can't absorb more, your strength will stop here. If you manage to absorb it, everything will be fine."
"Of course, the bad news I'm referring to is that your probability of absorption is less than one percent."
"In that case..." Just as Zhao Chunxue was about to comfort Ye Qiu, a faint smile appeared on Ye Qiu's lips. "Hehe, even a one percent chance is a good thing.
Because in my world, Ye Qiu's world, there is no difference between one percent and one hundred percent."
"But can't you calculate whether I'll succeed or not?" Ye Qiu imdiately asked.
"Ignorant guy," Zhao Chunxue said disdainfully, yet sowhat proudly, "Do you think everything in this world can be calculated? People say that fortune-tellers reveal celestial secrets, and getting it right shortens one's lifespan.
But if it's a celestial secret, how could it be calculated by us? It's rely the pattern of ancient statistics from Huaxia; your current pattern is actually a celestial secret..."
"Seems I am pretty lucky."
Ye Qiu was in good spirits and optimistic. Knowing there was still less than a one percent chance, he was convinced he could do it.
After Zhao Chunxue stopped speaking, he stood up and walked out the door.
Imdiately after, the rumbling noise entered his ears.
Ye Qiu looked around, confirming he was now near a village, with a dam on the Gan River not far ahead.
The dam was in the process of releasing water, the flow violent, roaring like thunder.
This sight made Ye Qiu smile with relief.
Previously, when training under the Gan River, the results were much better than using the previous major river, and the dam's fierce water flow was bound to improve the effect if he trained under it to absorb the Golden Potion.
Maybe he could solve the problem in one go!
"You rest here; I am going to accomplish that less than one percent probability!"
He said to Zhao Chunxue, and then Ye Qiu dashed out like a cheetah, running towards the edge of the dam and jumped down without hesitation!
"You sure are optimistic." Zhao Chunxue shook her head, helplessly said, "Even my master couldn't give a definite answer about your situation, clearly suggesting a low success rate. In my opinion, you are bound to fail."
anwhile, at the bottom of the dam!
Ye Qiu arrived there, imdiately raising both hands to fully bear the impact of the water flow!
"As it turns out, the pressure here is indeed much greater than at the riverbed!"
Ye Qiu smiled with satisfaction and then began to sense the energy of the residual potion in his body.
"It seems like there's still quite a lot. If I can absorb it all, not only could I solve the aftereffects, but I could also achieve another breakthrough!"
Thinking about becoming stronger, Ye Qiu was even more thrilled!
However, after dozens of minutes, the smile on his face began to fade bit by bit.
"Is there really no hope?"
Ye Qiu was disappointed.
Having tried his utmost for nearly an hour, exerting himself more than in previous attempts to absorb, the power of the Golden Potion showed no sign of being absorbed!
Moreover, as ti went by, that power also began to dissipate slowly!
Ye Qiu's face turned unprecedentedly solemn!
He didn't think Zhao Chunxue's words were false.
If he couldn't absorb it before the power dissipated, his strength would be permanently halted!
This was never the result Ye Qiu wanted to see!
"Absolutely not! It can't end like this!" In Ye Qiu's heart, it was as if a wild beast was roaring, yet he had no ans; this was already the place he found with the greatest pressure!
Since there hasn't been a breakthrough until now, continuing to try won't bring any breakthrough!
"If I go to the seabed, maybe the effect will be better!" Ye Qiu speculated to himself, "Yes, it would definitely be better, but the speed at which the power in my body is dissipating is too fast. Even if I went to the sea, the travel ti would nearly dissipate the power."
"Is there really no chance?" Ye Qiu beca even more disappointed!
Just as he racked his brains without any thought, suddenly, he was enlightened!
Ye Qiu finally discovered!
Right at the edge of the dam, at the bottom end of the dam, a breach appeared!
"The water pressure there is greater!"
Feeling at least ten tis stronger than now, Ye Qiu was excited and darted over without hesitation!
anwhile, on the shore.
An old man was driving two cows, chatting and laughing as he headed ho.
Suddenly, a middle-aged couple burst out from the bushes beside the road!
"Jin Wang, Ge Chunhua, it's really you!"
Seeing the two before him, the old man was instantly frightened, his eyes full of terror, his heart silently cursing his bad luck.
Jin Wang was the village bully!
Ge Chunhua was naturally Jin Wang's wife!
Encountering both at once, what good could possibly happen!
The old man panicked, looked around, wanting to find an opportunity to escape, but the two cows made him completely lose the chance to run away!
At this mont, Jin Wang and Ge Chunhua were staring intently at the two cows behind the old man!
A few seconds later, Jin Wang sneered, viciously said, "Old Liu! Ha ha! You're out here herding cows, huh? Look at these cows of yours, so strong and sturdy, they must help you with a lot of work, right?
If you sell them, they could fetch a big sum, but wouldn't it be a waste just to have them work or sell them? How about we slaughter the cows for a beef hotpot to satisfy our cravings?"
"Husband, that's a great idea. I haven't had beef in ages, and now that you ntion it, I'm drooling!"
Ge Chunhua clung to Jin Wang's arm, staring firmly at the two cows, the mole below her nose trembling, almost drooling.
"Oh, why didn't you tell earlier?" Jin Wang slapped his forehead, said helplessly, "Wanting beef, you should have said so earlier! There are so many families in the village with cows, we could grab one just for you to eat!
But look, Old Liu's cows are better; let's directly slaughter them and roast them on the spot!"
"What's there to say? I just happen to have a knife with . The past couple days, there's been an old lady in the village contradicting frequently, planning to slash her twice when I run into her, but I'll use it on the cows first!"
With that, Ge Chunhua pulled out a fruit knife and strode toward one of the cows!
"No, please don't kill the cows! These two cows are all my savings; if you kill them, how will I live?"
Old Liu was anxious, facing the village bully couple, with no ans, he could only collapse to the ground, weeping bitterly.
Pa!
Almost simultaneously, a crisp slapping sound rang out.
