Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"This is the magic potion you concocted?"

The night singer held a medicine bottle in his hand, examining it carefully.

The oval-shaped medicine bottle contained a dark purple liquid that shimmered faintly under the light.

"Yes...yes..." Yu Li's beautiful eyes showed a hint of trepidation. She lowered her head slightly, letting her silver-white hair cover her uncertain eyes, and her two small, fair hands nervously gripped her dress. (Image)

This potion is the result of her research over the past week.

Although the previous experiments on mice had been successful, and she had followed the recipe exactly as Night Song had given her, it meant that there should be no problem with this potion.

But when she handed her creation to her benefactor, teacher, and childhood friend for inspection, Yu Li couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She worried that her results would not meet Ye Ge's expectations.

Night Song: "Have you done the experiment?"

Yu Li: "Yes, we've done it... We've done it on mice, and the results were exactly as you said, Young Master Ye Ge..."

"This is a Tier 1 'Reconnaissance' awakening potion. After drinking it, one can randomly awaken a 'Reconnaissance' type ability. The success rate of awakening on mice is around 50%, the probability of awakening a white-quality ability is around 40%, and the probability of awakening a blue-quality ability is around 30%... The higher the quality of the ability, the lower the probability of awakening..."

"However... we haven't tried it on humans yet."

"That's fine then." Ye Ge had complete faith in Yu Li's abilities. She was a genius secondary class player in the game. If she couldn't do it, then no one in the world could. "I believe it will definitely be successful on a human body as well."

Ye Ge paused, looked up at Yu Li's face, and smiled, "Because I absolutely believe in my little childhood sweetheart's abilities."

"Hmm..." Yu Li felt a little dizzy when she heard this.

Young Master Yege said he absolutely believes in me...

He absolutely believes me...

he......

Well......

"And another thing, I've said it several times already, don't call me Young Master Ye Ge anymore, and don't call me 'you' either." Ye Ge said, "Just call me Xiao Ye, like Xue'er does."

"I..." Yu Li's cheeks flushed slightly, "I can't bring myself to say it..."

"why?"

"..."

"Alright, forget it." Ye Ge's eyes darted around. "Then what can you call me? In any case, you can't call me Young Master, and you can't call me Boss."

Yu Li: "I...I don't know..."

Ye Ge shrugged: "How about you just call me Ye Ge? It's the simplest way."

"No, no!" Yu Li hurriedly shook her head. "That's too, too impolite!"

“I mean, Brother Ye.” Ye Ge rested his chin on his hand: “Why don’t you just treat the last word as ‘song’ in ‘hymn’ and as ‘brother’ in ‘big brother’?”

Yu Li hesitated for a moment: "But, it still sounds the same..."

"Really..." Ye Ge thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Then I understand. From now on, you can call me brother. Oh, you can just think of the 'brother' in front as 'Ge'."

"!" Yu Li's petite body swayed slightly, as if she felt her cheeks getting hotter, and she asked in a daze, "...Brother??"

Night Song: "Sigh."

Yu Li: "But, but it sounds like this..."

"You don't like it?" Ye Ge looked slightly disappointed. "But I quite like this nickname."

“…No, not really.” Seeing Ye Ge’s disappointed expression, Yu Li felt a little sorry for her. “It’s just a little embarrassing…”

"Then how about this?" Ye Ge smiled. "In front of outsiders, you can call me whatever you want, but in private, you have to call me brother."

Yu Li: "......"

"It's such a happy decision."

"..."

Ye Ge took out some food from her inventory: "By the way, let's sit down and have something to eat. I just came here after leaving the academy today, and I haven't had dinner yet."

Yu Li immediately waved her hand: "No, no... I'm not that hungry."

Night Song: "But your brother ordered you to sit down."

Yu Li: "......"

Hearing this, the girl obediently sat down opposite Ye Ge.

Ye Ge knew that Yu Li still considered herself a servant.

That's why when she heard him ask her to sit down and eat together, she subconsciously felt that she wasn't qualified to eat with the young master because of her status.

For ordinary people without extraordinary talent, this mindset is very difficult to change.

Ye Ge didn't intend to force her to change her mind all at once.

Just let nature take its course.

Anyway, if I stay by his side in the future, things will change sooner or later.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

"Mmm...delicious."

Ye Ge suddenly noticed Yu Li's new dress and asked suspiciously, "By the way, what's that outfit of yours...?"

"Xue'er gave it to me," Yu Li said cautiously. "Xue'er... she's a very nice person."

"Is that so?" Ye Ge pondered, then nodded secretly.

Yes, as expected of Miyuki Mama, overflowing with maternal instincts.

"However, you can call Xue'er by her nickname without any hesitation, but you can't call me that." Ye Ge glanced at her wistfully and sighed, "It seems you're closer to her..."

Yu Li said in a panic, "That's not how it is! Please don't think that way!"

"Then call me 'brother' now and let me hear it."

“...Brother, older brother.”

"Well, that's right."

Ye Ge nodded in satisfaction.

After finishing his late-night snack, Ye Ge patted his belly contentedly.

"Oh, by the way, although the previous potion has been researched and completed, you should not drink it for the time being."

"Although that potion can help you awaken from an ordinary person into a superhuman, most people can only possess one type of superhuman ability in their lifetime."

"Once you use it, there's no going back."

Night Song looked at her seriously: "It's not too late to drink it after we make a potion that's more suitable for you."

As for that "reconnaissance" potion, he did have a suitable candidate in mind.

“Okay.” Yu Li was naturally willing to listen to Ye Ge unconditionally.

Of course she wanted to become a superhuman.

Her dream used to be to develop a magical potion that would allow ordinary people to defy fate and awaken into extraordinary beings.

But now, she wants to become a superhuman so that she can have more power to help Young Master Yege.

Yu Li then showed a somewhat regretful expression: "However, it might take a very, very long time to develop a completely different type of higher-level potion..."

Scientific research has always been time-consuming.

The scientists who initially developed the magic engine spent nearly half a century before finally creating a prototype.

If it weren't for the production list that Ye Ge gave her, even if she had had this idea a long time ago, it would have taken her a very long time to come.

"Oh, I don't think so."

Ye Ge placed a brand new set of drawings in front of Yu Li: "Here."

Yu Li stared blankly at the blueprints: "This is...?"

"A second-tier power awakening potion," Night Song said. "This is the recipe list, and the detailed refining process is also written on it."

"???" Yu Li looked shocked.
