The Only Normal Human In The Universe

Chapter 85 

An Yan’s life resumed its normal pace back at the college. He studied hard every day to expand his knowledge.

At the same time, the pharmacy majors finally had their first practical class.

Most of the students who had chosen to major in pharmacy were interested in making potions and were particularly excited to finally try their hand at it.

But this obviously did not include An Yan.

After all, the potions he made were different from what he had learned in writing, not to mention that he was not resistant to making them.

But the question was, if it was a professional practical class, he wouldn’t be able to make potions in his own way, would he?

Cheng Yi had also told him that it was best not to make potions in public.

While An Yan was struggling with this problem, the students around him who were having a heated discussion called out to him, "An Yan, what do you think the professor will teach us in the first lesson of the practical class?"

"Huh?" An Yan looked up blankly. He had just been thinking about himself and hadn’t heard what the students around him were discussing.

One of his classmates said, "We’re discussing what the first practical class will be about."

"I think since it’s a practical class, it must be about making potions, but I don’t know what kind of potions we’ll be making."

"I think it’s definitely a spirit recovery potion. It’s the easiest to make, and the steps to make it are simple. "

“I’m hoping it’s a body potion. I’m most interested in making body potions. "

"Aren’t you guys thinking too much? Even if it’s a practical class, you always need theoretical knowledge to back it up, right? I don’t think it’s likely that the professor will let us make potions straight away in the first class. " 

"I also think that the most we’ll get is a demonstration of making a potion, right?"

"Not necessarily. After all, we all have some basic knowledge of potion making, and we’ve already learnt enough in the theory class. There’s no need to continue with the theory class in the practical class, right? "

After a few words of discussion, someone asked An Yan, "An Yan, what do you think?"

"I don’t know, but I hope I won’t be asked to make potions then." An Yan scratched his head and accidentally blurted out his true thoughts.

At that, the other students were confused, "Why? Don’t you want to get in touch with potion making earlier? "

"That’s right, and you came first in the entrance exam, so your level of potion making must be very high."

An Yan’s expression was a bit difficult, and he was thinking about how to answer when Cheng Yang, who was sitting next to him, yawned and said, "It’s because Yan Yan came first in the entrance exam that he doesn’t have much expectation for the practical class. After all, at his level, he doesn’t need to learn how to make potions through the practical class. " 

"That’s true. It’s true that powerful people think differently from us."

"I envy An Yan. If only I could have had such a talent. "

"Hey, let’s not talk about it. I’d better go and do some homework first so I don’t have to make a fool of myself in the practical class."

………

With Cheng Yang’s words, everyone didn’t ask any more questions, but the question in An Yan’s mind was still unresolved.

An Yan took the initiative to contact Cheng Yi: [Senior, we are going to start the practical classes tomorrow. What should I do if the professor asks us to make potions on the spot?] 

Although An Yan had not realized it, he would always think of Cheng Yi whenever he encountered a problem.

And in his past experience, every time he asked Cheng Yi for help, the other party would always give him a solution immediately, making him feel very relieved.

This time was certainly no different. Cheng Yi quickly replied: [Don’t worry. You can just follow the method you used in the entrance exam to make the potion. There will be no problem.]

An Yan was immediately relieved: [I see. Thank you, senior.]

Although the way he made the potion in the previous entrance exam was significantly different from the one in the textbook, or even the opposite, at least the potion was still effective.

And when the time came, he could try to match his method of making potions with that in the textbook, so that it would be less likely to arouse the suspicion of others.

With this in mind, An Yan also put his mind at ease.

The night passed quickly, and it was time for the next day’s practical class.

As soon as the first practice class began, the professor spoke directly, "Today’s lesson is about making an E-grade universal body potion. I will demonstrate it for you first. After that, you can practice it on your own. You can find me if you encounter any problems. "

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a suppressed cheer in the practical classroom.

"Now, I will first show you the materials that you need to use when making a potion." The professor put the display directly onto the monitor so that everyone could see the ingredients and equipment on it clearly and visually, as well as the whole process of making it. "There are many kinds of ingredients used to make an E-class body potion. However, if it is a universal body potion, one of the essential ingredients is needle grass."

 "Needle grass can greatly improve the compatibility of the potion, but it also has to do with the type of potion spirit we choose. If we choose a hamster spirit, it would still be difficult to make a universal body potion even if we add the needle grass. "

Hamster-spirit-An Yan: "... " It felt like he was being disliked.

While the professor sorted out the herbs needed, he explained the steps to making a potion in detail, as well as the precautions to take.

The students below listened very carefully while jumping at the chance to try.

After determining the herbs and the potion spirit power, the professor set about making the potion.

The professor deliberately slowed down the speed while explaining each step in detail in order to let everyone see the process of making the potion more clearly.

As a result, the preparation of the potion took several times longer, and after about half an hour, a body potion was finally produced successfully.

The professor put the produced potion into the testing apparatus and then showed the results to everyone: "This is an E-grade universal body potion. Its use range is unrestricted, but the side effects are not small; dry heaving for half an hour, so I guess no one will want to drink this potion."

The last half of the sentence in self-ridicule made everyone laugh along with him. But this data was actually quite normal. After all, it was a universal body potion. The side effects must be greater than a targeted body potion.

The professor put down the test results in his hand and clapped his hands, "The materials needed for this practice have been placed on the table in front of you. The next step is to see if any of you can create a generic body potion that someone is willing to take. "

There was a cheer. It was finally time for them to make their own potions!

The professor clapped his hands again and gestured for everyone to quiet down for a while. "As this is the first practical class, potion making is not considered a mandatory requirement, so you do not need to submit your potions at the end of the course. So don’t feel pressured to do your best. If you encounter any problems that you cannot handle during the process, you can always come and see me. Got it? "

Everyone said in unison, "Got it!"

The professor smiled and said, "Let’s get started then."

As the students were excited to start making potions, Zhao Xinxin was secretly observing An Yan’s situation.

Although what had happened earlier had caused her to lose face and it was hard for her to hold her head up again, it didn’t mean that she would let An Yan off easily. After all, everything she is going through now was brought about by An Yan!

If it weren’t for An Yan, she wouldn’t have been published as a rumor monger by the college and received a harsh punishment.

If it weren’t for An Yan, her father wouldn’t have reprimanded her like that and said something about possibly replacing the family heir.

If it weren’t for An Yan, Cheng Yi and Cheng Yang wouldn’t have been so indifferent to her and even taken the initiative to deal with her!

If it weren’t for An Yan, she wouldn’t have been humiliated and belittled by her classmates and even completely isolated.

All of this was caused by An Yan!

What was even more hateful was that while she was being treated unfairly, An Yan was having a good life. Not only did he gain Cheng Yi’s favour and get extremely close to Cheng Yang, he was also being surrounded by the same students who had originally surrounded her.

How could she swallow this anger?

So, although Zhao Xinxin had been quite honest on the surface during this recent period of time, the resentment and jealousy in her heart were rising, practically burning her whole being to the ground!

Under the influence of such strong negative emotions, Zhao Xinxin was constantly plotting how to deal with An Yan so that he would be trampled under her feet and his reputation would be completely ruined.

And now was a good opportunity.

Although it was only a practical lesson, if she could produce a better potion than An Yan, she could at least show these people that she was the one with a higher level than An Yan, who could only cheat.

And to do that, she first had to find out what kind of potion An Yan would make.

She didn’t plan on making the potion directly. She first wanted to see the situation on An Yan’s side first.

An Yan was completely oblivious to the situation on Zhao Xinxin’s side. He was now thinking about one question. What exactly should he do to make the potion’s test results less good?

Except for the Transformation Potion, every potion he had made before were all high quality potions, and they were also the kinds that did not restrict the people they could be used on, which was the generic body potion that the professor had just mentioned.

After thinking carefully for a while, An Yan was still unable to successfully find the answer to this question.

Well, I don’t want to think about it. I’d better make the potion first. Maybe something will go wrong in the process and the potion will not turn out as a high-quality potion?

With this thought in mind, An Yan quickly began to make the potion.
