"So, this is a gamble. If we win, we'll gain Supernatural Abilities. If we lose... I don't know what will happen."
For a while, many people were struggling with whether or not to try drinking the potion.
After two days, someone knocked on Gu Wanyin's door.
Gu Wanyin opened the door to find Dong Yue and her parents outside.
Not far away, several hotel guests were peering curiously in their direction.
"What's going on?" Gu Wanyin asked with a smile.
Dong Yue rubbed her hands together excitedly and said, "Boss Gu, I'm here to volunteer as a tester for the potion! My parents too, they both want to try!"
Originally, the family of three had been quite conflicted about it.
But after discussing it for two days, they finally made up their minds.
After all, there was no risk to their lives, so why not drink it?
Their family of three had survived the apocalypse, and even after being separated, they managed to reunite. What was there to be afraid of now?
If all three of them could activate Supernatural Abilities after drinking it, they'd be much safer when going out to kill zombies in the future!
At the very least, the three of them together should be able to handle a level one zombie, right?
The more Dong Yue thought about it, the more excited she became, and she directly brought her parents along.
"Alright, wait a moment, I'll get them for you."
Gu Wanyin had previously kept some of the potions in her room.
Now that Dong Yue's family of three wanted to drink them, she went back to fetch three vials and gave one to each of them.
This family of three didn't hesitate.
They figured that since they were already here, there was no use in overthinking it.
Might as well down it in one go!
Watching the family of three drink it down, the few guests not far away widened their eyes, anxiously waiting for their reactions.
After a while, Dong Yue suddenly clutched her stomach, her face contorted in pain as she said, "Ouch, why does my stomach feel like it's on fire?"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
Could it be that there were side effects after all?
Gu Wanyin asked Dong Yue's parents how they felt, but the couple didn't feel anything unusual.
After a moment, the burning sensation in Dong Yue's stomach suddenly disappeared.
Then she stretched out her hand, and a small flame appeared in her palm.
Dong Yue stared at the small flame, stunned for a moment, then jumped up with joy: "It's real! I have a Supernatural Ability now, it's a Fire Ability!"
"Do you still feel uncomfortable now?" Gu Wanyin quickly asked.
"No, not at all!" Dong Yue said excitedly, "In fact, I feel more energetic than ever!"
Gu Wanyin nodded.
Earlier, when she had drunk the potion, she had also felt a surge of energy.
It was probably because one of the ingredients in the Ability Activation Potion was a stamina-boosting aquatic plant from the demon realm.
Besides Dong Yue, her parents had also activated Supernatural Abilities, one Water-type Supernatural Ability and one Wind-type Supernatural Ability.
Although they were all level one, the family of three was overjoyed!
The few guests who had been observing from afar saw this, gritted their teeth, and all walked over.
"Boss Gu, we're willing to be volunteers too!"
"Yes, we all want to try this potion!"
Gu Wanyin nodded happily and fetched a few more vials for them.
These people were all ordinary humans, and after they drank the potion, they all activated Supernatural Abilities without exception.
And none of them experienced any side effects.
"This is great, I have a Supernatural Ability now too!"
"I'll be more confident going out to fight zombies in the future! I finally don't have to envy those with abilities anymore!"
"I feel like crying... If only I could have activated a Supernatural Ability when my parents were still alive! Then I wouldn't have had to watch helplessly as the zombies..."
The news that Dong Yue's family and the other guests had successfully activated Supernatural Abilities after drinking the potion spread like wildfire, and soon, all the hotel guests had heard about it.
Several more people were eager to try.
Xiao Meichen was one of them.
If she had a Supernatural Ability, her sister wouldn't have to worry so much about her going out in the future.
Moreover, now that she and Wu San were in a relationship, with Wu San being a high-level ability user while she didn't even have a level one ability, she always felt a bit uncomfortable about it.
When she said she wanted to try the Ability Activation Potion, Wu San panicked and instinctively tried to stop her, "No way!"
"Why not?" Xiao Meichen frowned, "I want to have a Supernatural Ability too. If I had one, I wouldn't be a burden to you in the future."
"I've never thought of you as a burden!" Wu San blurted out.
Seeing Xiao Meichen's stunned expression, Wu San composed himself and added, "What if the potion has side effects? What then?"
Just thinking about it made him extremely anxious.
"I don't think it will! Several people have already tried it, and they all activated Supernatural Abilities without any side effects!" Xiao Meichen said with a smile.
Even so, Wu San still felt uneasy.
He thought for a moment and said, "If you really insist on going, I'll go with you. I'll drink it first, and if nothing happens to me, then you can drink it."
"But, I think the Ability Activation Potion only works on ordinary people. It doesn't seem to have any effect on those who already have abilities," Xiao Meichen said.
"I'm not doing it for the ability," Wu San said nonchalantly, "I just want to test it for you."
Hearing this, Xiao Meichen gratefully took his hand and said, "You're so good to me... Let's go find Boss Gu now!"
Wu San nodded and walked with her towards Building No. 1.
After walking for a while, Wu San suddenly felt that something was off.
Hadn't he initially thought that this naive Xiao Meichen would be easy to manipulate, and only approached her to get her and Xiao Meixuan to probe the hotel's secrets?
Why was he so concerned about her now... even willing to test the potion for her?
This development seemed a bit wrong!
Wu San felt confused.
Before he could fully process his thoughts, he and Xiao Meichen were already standing at the door of Gu Wanyin's room.
Xiao Meichen raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Gu Wanyin quickly opened it.
Seeing Wu San and Xiao Meichen at the door, she raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Boss Gu, we're here to try the potion!" Xiao Meichen said with a smile.
Gu Wanyin looked at Wu San and asked, "You want to drink it too?"
Wu San kept a straight face and didn't speak. Xiao Meichen answered for him, "He wants to drink it too! He said he's worried about me drinking it, so he wants to test it for me first, hehe."
Gu Wanyin's expression remained unchanged, but she was a bit surprised inside.
It seemed that Wu San really cared about Xiao Meichen now!
She suddenly remembered what Xiao Meixuan had told her before.
"Although my sister appears to be a naive sweetie on the surface, she's actually quite sharp-minded. Now that she's with Wu San... it's hard to say who's fooling who."
Hmm... indeed.
Gu Wanyin took out two vials of the potion.
Wu San took one first.
He glanced at Xiao Meichen, then tilted his head back and drank the entire potion.
"How is it?" Xiao Meichen looked at him expectantly, "Do you feel anything?"
