Chapter 23

“These are?”

Silco could tell it was the same type of medicine he used to treat his eye.

But what did this have to do with so-called help?

Could it be used as a healing potion?

“Shimmer? It's done?”

Luo Huan curiously walked over and spoke while looking at the whole jar of Shimmer.

Her eyes transformed into Sharingan again, and the flow of magic became clearly visible before her.

Chaotic, utterly chaotic.

The magic circulating in the entire jar of Shimmer was extremely intense and chaotic.

At least in Luo Huan’s view, it was extremely chaotic.

Then she turned to look at Corin Reveck.

“Not yet. This is No. 38 Shimmer. I just tested it on a small rat. It can enhance physical strength and won’t cause immediate death.”

Corin Reveck looked at Luo Huan’s rotating Three Tomoe eyes with full admiration.

He touched the glass jar and then spoke.

“As long as the intake can be controlled, it should also be able to stimulate the human body’s potential, giving people powerful healing ability and strength.”

Luo Huan didn’t mind his gaze at all.

After all, her eyes had only temporarily transformed into Sharingan.

It wasn’t a real hot-swap.

Even if Corin Reveck snatched them with a surprise attack, he wouldn’t get the effect he wanted.

And Silco, upon hearing Corin Reveck’s words, couldn’t help but stand up.

“You mean it? Just by drinking it, one can gain power?”

What was Zaun lacking the most right now? Power!

And the kind that could be activated immediately!

Silco was getting a little excited.

“Calm down, calm down, Uncle Silco.”

“This thing hasn’t been tested on humans yet, right?”

Luo Huan reached out to steady the excited Silco and then spoke.

Corin Reveck glanced at Silco’s left eye upon hearing that, then shook his head again.

It was obvious that Silco’s left eye was one of the effects of Shimmer.

“Uncle Silco, try testing the effect of Shimmer on someone, and remember to keep the dose as small as possible. This stuff can kill if you use too much.”

Thinking of this, Luo Huan spoke to Silco.

Strictly speaking, Shimmer could be considered a very strange and powerful life magic potion.

Though, she actually didn’t fully understand it either.

But based on her past memories—

This thing at the very least granted lifeforms temporary regeneration and strength far beyond what their current bodies could handle.

It’s just that an overdose would lead people to go berserk, and once the effect wore off, their bodies would become extremely weak or even die.

After all, matter is conserved.

Even if a small vial of Shimmer could boost one’s vitality to overflowing—

In the end, it was finite.

After that, the person would have to overdraw their own life to continue.

As for the addiction that people always criticized—

It wasn’t like the addiction caused by hallucinogenic drugs and the like.

Shimmer gave people real power.

The addiction was just life’s instinctive longing to remain in that stronger state.

In the end, who could refuse to become stronger and recover faster?

Luo Huan looked at the faintly dark-purple glowing Shimmer, and thoughts kept swirling in her mind.

For some reason, she wanted to try it too.

‘Forget it. Once Zaun is stabilized, hurry and research a way for people to perceive magic. Let Corin Reveck quickly produce perfect Shimmer.’

As a hardcore player and plot-lover, Luo Huan also understood the potential of this thing.

After all, Jinx, who had injected perfect Shimmer, could react with superhuman speed like Vander, even smashing into a steel plate head-on and not only surviving but even grabbing the steel plate to stop herself from falling.

Not to mention, she could also jump up with Werewolf Vander and pry open Vi’s gauntlet!

Damn, even Jackie Chan could only do that climbing rockets in reverse kind of stuff.

She was basically a superhuman!

“Mm, I’ll arrange it.”

Silco nodded.

As a proper recipient of Shimmer, all he felt was that his previously blinded left eye could see again—nothing more.

But since both Luo Huan and Corin Reveck had said so, he figured he might as well find some people to test it out.

‘Those brothers might be worth trying it on.’

He thought of the Zaun brothers who had inhaled toxic gas and were now half-dead, with several already giving up on treatment.

Simply put, they were just waiting to die.

Nothing could be done—no money, medicine wasn’t working, and they couldn’t get to Piltover.

“Today, just today. Uncle Silco, find more people today. Best if they’re not ones meant to charge the bridge. We need to figure out the Shimmer dosage in one go.”

Luo Huan spoke up.

Then blue flames ignited in her hand.

“This is my demon fire. It can change with my thoughts, and its temperature is extremely high.”

The flame condensed into two little figures dancing in her palm, making Silco stare in stunned silence.

The next moment, her entire body turned white.

Reverse Life Triple, activate!

“This is the Reverse Life state. In this state, my regeneration ability is extremely strong.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Huan directly thrust her hand into her chest and then pulled it out.

A grotesque hollow cavity appeared in front of Corin Reveck and Silco.

“This is...”

Silco was just about to say something when his eyes widened.

That grotesque, gaping wound where even her heartbeat was visible began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye!

“It's reconstruction—this is astonishing.”

As a master of alchemical biotechnology, Corin Reveck immediately saw what was happening.

After all, a layman might just keep saying “awesome” in awe.

But an expert sees the details—and thinks it’s even more incredible!

Was this really something a human could do?

“Magic. Pretty amazing, right? But don’t be discouraged. As far as I know, perfect Shimmer can also achieve this.”

Luo Huan tried hard to hold down the corners of her mouth as she spoke.

She floated slightly into the air, patted Corin Reveck’s shoulder, then turned to look at Silco.

“These are the only two things I can truly use in combat, and my magic is limited.”

“In the case of severe injury, I can last at most half a day.”

She wasn’t just showing off—she wanted Silco, who was actually coordinating manpower, to understand exactly what she was capable of.

“This really is...”

Silco nodded, beginning to calculate how to proceed.

“Uncle Silco, when the time comes, I’ll charge forward and break the line. You and Uncle Vander just follow with the troops. With Shimmer’s help, we should be able to break through in a single day.”

Luo Huan said.

“And move everyone upward. I think those Piltover people might increase the toxic gas release the moment the fighting starts.”

She didn’t trust those parasitic noble masters of Piltover.

It was something that had to be considered.

“Alright, I’ll send someone to handle that. When the time comes, the main force will follow your lead. I’ll have people climb from below and try to pull off a pincer—cheesy style.”

Silco thought for a moment, then spoke.

“Then let’s do it tomorrow afternoon. Can we make it, Uncle Silco?”

Luo Huan asked naturally.

After all, they needed to carve out time for Silco to arrange Shimmer tests and gather everyone.

And they had to get the plan passed down too.

It was going to be busy.

“Alright, for Zaun.”

Silco nodded, then turned to look at Corin Reveck.

“Dr. Corin, let’s go. We’re on the clock.”

Corin Reveck reluctantly took one last look at the now pale-white Luo Huan, then activated the alchemical transport platform and followed Silco out.
