Trouble From HQ (2)

Clara: "If you don't mind, Mrs. Johnson, while Elder Yan is doing a full examination on your partner, will you allow me to show you around?"

Mrs. Johnson: "Then Elder Yan, I will leave my partner in your care; please take care of her."

Elder Yan: "I will do it to the best of my ability, Young Alan. Why don't you come with me to the examination room?"

Alan: "Yes, Elder."

Taking Lyra the deer beast with them, Alan and Elder Yan left the meeting room, leaving behind Carla and Laura with Mrs. Johnson.

….

Inside an empty small warehouse behind the Blue River Chamber of Commerce building, Elder Yan began conducting various examinations on Lyra.

Alan: "So, Grandpa Yan, why don't you tell me the real consequences behind this political maneuver against you?"

Elder Yan couldn't help but be surprised as he took a deep look at Alan.

Elder Yan: "You are clever beyond your years, young Alan. The real damage that could happen is the fallout between my backer and this noble clan."

Alan: "Your backer??"

Elder: "My clan is one of the seven clans that have founded The Blue River Chamber of Commerce, and my backer is none other than my clan. The situation was probably orchestrated by one of the other six founder clans to destroy my reputation and cause a problem between my clan and the Noble clan that Mrs. Johnson belongs to."

Silence prevailed inside the room, indeed those noble clans are only Noble in name.

Alan: "What is your plan?"

Elder Yan: "There is no running away from the situation. Right now I will try to come up with the recipe to induce the evolution, but my chances of succeeding are close to zero."

Looking at the dark expression on Elder Yan's face, Alan understood that most likely the situation is hopeless.

Elder Yan: "Let's start by analyzing the target for the evolution, the winged antler deer."

On a huge screen inside the warehouse, a lot of information popped out.

Elder Yan: "it is a healing wind type beast, other than the power difference between it and Lyra, the attributes are almost the same, they live in a lush forest environment, so the condition for advancement, must be present within they're living environment"

Alan: "Indeed, if Lyra can truly evolve into a winged antler deer, then the condition for evolution must be present inside the forest."

The two of them began their discussion while Elder Yan started to prepare the material needed for the evolution.

Elder Yan: "I can only approach this problem with trial and error, so buckle up; we are in for a ride."

With a smile on his face, Elder Yan began working on the potions and the material while digesting various information about the environment that the deer beast lives in.

....

6 hours had passed; Elder Yan and Alan were now both waiting as Elder Yan had administered the potion he made according to all of the information they gathered about the environment that the deer beasts lived in.

Suddenly, Lyra started to become agitated. The pain was clearly reflected on her expressions.

Elder Yan: "it's a failure, I already knew that it was a shot in the dark, I will give the little deer an antidote to relief it from its pain, Then I can only apologize to Mrs Johnson, this time the trap was way deeper than we could handle"

Looking at the resigned expression on Elder Yan's face, Alan knew that the elder had totally failed.

Taking a deep breath, Alan remembered the time when this elder took care of him, and through this elder kindness, he managed to land a job inside the Blue River Chamber of Commerce, getting to know both Carla and Lyra and many others.

He was the one who opened the door for him to earn his first bucket of gold; without the elders' help, all of this would not have happened.

He took a look at Lyra, who had finally relaxed after Elder Yan gave her the antidote potion.

Potential: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Talent: [healing aura, emotional empath, wind manipulation initial]

Evolution paths: [4]

[Single horn deer]

[Winged antler deer]

[Lightning antler deer]

[Forest keeper deer]

Looking at the information and focusing on the evolution paths, he saw the four of them; he focused on the desired path, the second one.

2. [Winged antler deer]

[Requirements]:

[Peak third stage] ✓

[One life crystal]

[Forest springwater rich in water element]

[A 1000-year-old Fola tree bark]

[A stalk of sunstone grass]

Description: [Grind the sunstone grass into a bowl, add half of the forest spring water, and under a low temperature, keep stirring for 5 minutes. Then add the grinded Fola three bark, raise the heat to 40°, and continue stirring for another 10 minutes. After the solution cools down, feed the deer the life of Crystal and have the deer drink the solution. The effect will take place in 10 minutes]

Looking at the clear information and instructions, Alan made up his mind to help Elder Yan.

Alan: "Can we try one more time? I have a hypothesis. With your help, Grandpa Yan, why don't we try it? You have already said we can only do trial and error to succeed."

Elder Yan saw the determination in Alan's eyes, taking a deep breath. He could not help but agree with Alan.

Elder: "We have tried various ingredients found in the living environment of the deer beast, so what can we do now that is different? Maybe change the ingredients."

Alan: "I also have the same idea. I saw earlier in the information displayed on the screen that the forest the deer beast lives in has a huge number of the Falo tree. The deers probably ate the bark of this tree, so why don't we use it as a material? Let's try an older one, at least a thousand years old, to maximize the effect."

As if enlightened, Elder Yan looked at Alan and said.

Elder: "That is indeed true; I have focused too much on the leaves, forgetting about the trees. Then let's use it alongside a potent Ena solution"

Alan: " But grandpa Yan I don't think there is a potent Ena solution in the wild, so why don't we use a medium that is a favorite for the deer species? What do they like to drink?"

Elder: "Their usual drinking habits are often at lakes, but I read earlier that they prefer spring water."

Sinking deep in thought, Elder Yan recognized that simulating the true ingredient from the environments might actually work.

Elder: "There's still something missing, an ingredient that can facilitate the reaction."

Alan: "Then why don't you add something that the deer beasts find as a favorite and eat a lot of?"

Elder Yan: "According to the information, there are many types of grass that the deer beasts like to eat."

With a slight frown on his face, Elder Yan answered.

Alan: "why don't we narrow our search to the places that the winged antler deer was spotted at"

The moment Elder Yan heard Alan's suggestion, as if a door to a new world opened for him, he immediately started researching the information.

After a while, both of them narrowed down the list to three possible spirit grasses.

Elder Yan: "The STARFIRE grass, the MOONBLOOM grass, and the SUNSTONE grass—those three are the most likely suspects."

Alan: "Yeah, but I think we can eliminate the Starfire grass as it's strong in nature and does not align well with the deer beasts mild nature."

Elder Yan: "I also agree with you; I think the MOONBLOOM grass can be a good choice."

Alan: "But according to the information, this type of grass only shows itself at night under a full moon, so I highly doubt that it can be the deer's choice in comparison. The sunstone grass is much more available. And its properties can align perfectly with the healing nature of the deer beast.

Elder Yan: "you are right, I was fixated on using a higher class ingredients, we can use it alongside the Fola tree bark and The spring water, still the evolution will consume a huge amount of energy, so we need an ingredient that can provided the necessary amount of energy needed for the evolution"

Alan: "You are right, Grandpa."

Pretending to be deep in thought, he decided to provide the last suggestion.

Alan: "What if we use a treasure with a very high life energy infused with Ena and feed it to the deer before feeding him the potion? But the problem is what kind of treasure should we use?"

Elder: "No, you solved it. We don't have to make it into a potion that is infused with Ena; we can simply do what you said. As for the treasure, I can think of a few right away."

Looking through the information on the screen, many treasures that hold life energy were displayed.

Watching grandpa Yan analyzing the many treasures in front of him, Alan, who saw the life crystal, immediately pointed at it.

Alan: "Grandpa Yan, can we use this life crystal? It's a 4th class treasure, full of life energy and Ena."

Grandpa Yan snapped out of his thought the moment he saw Alan pointing at one of the treasures on the screen.

Elder Yan: "It is the perfect treasure; it has mild properties and is full of life energy. It can absolutely facilitate evolution. We have gathered all the ingredients that we might need, so let's try it"

Immediately after, Grandpa Yan started making the potion, and Alan watched how perfectly the temperature was controlled by Grandpa Yan; his eyes were full of admiration, as indeed this man in front of him was a third-class evolution master.

In no time the potion was ready, following the steps they agreed on, first feeding the life crystal to Lyra. Then having her drink the potion.

The two of them waited in anticipation; every minute felt like a decade long.

Suddenly light filled the room, and Lyra's body started changing at a visible speed for the watching eye.

After a few minutes, everything ended, and in the middle of the room, there stood a majestic antler deer.

Evolution paths: [3]

Seeing the information displayed in front of him, Alan knew that the evolution was a success.

Grandpa Yan: "Hahahahahahaha! Hahaha! Young Alan, we made it! We created history! We found a new evolution path for the forest deer-type beast! I can't believe my eyes! Please tell me that I'm not dreaming!"

Alan: "Grandpa Yan, you are definitely not dreaming. We spent 12 hours inside this room, and our effort was definitely rewarded. Congratulations on creating history."

Grandpa: "What do you mean by me creating history? If it weren't for your suggestions, we would probably have failed. Your genius ability to think outside the box really saved us; you have created history as much as I did. This is also your breakthrough."

Just as they were talking to each other, the door to the small warehouse was opened in a forceful way. On the other side of the door stood Mrs. Johnson. Following her from behind were Carla and Laura.
