At this moment, he felt the magical power within his body, like the water level in a reservoir, decreasing at an unstoppable speed. Each surge of energy made him feel weak, as if his body was being hollowed out little by little. He tried to concentrate, attempting to dig out more power from the depths of his heart, but unfortunately, the scale of this spell was simply too large, exceeding his previous experience.

At this moment, Xu Hao's unusual behavior was finally noticed by Director Li and Zheng Jinqiang. Director Li frowned, a hint of suspicion in his eyes, while Zheng Jinqiang stared intently at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao's heart tightened. He quickly reached to his waist and pulled out two bottles of Sun Water, their surfaces shimmering faintly under the light. Xu Hao swiftly unscrewed the caps and tilted his head back to gulp down the first bottle of Sun Water. The cool liquid instantly slid down his throat and into his body, as if a warm current was rapidly spreading within him. He felt his magical power rapidly recovering, and the initial weakness gradually subsided.

Then, without hesitation, Xu Hao unscrewed the second bottle of Sun Water and tilted his head back to gulp it down. This time, he felt the energy within his body surge like a flood, quickly filling the previous emptiness. Every cell seemed to rejoice, as if it had been revitalized.

Director Li and Zheng Jinqiang exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes, but they did not make a sound to disturb them.

Xu Hao began to channel his magical power into his hands. His hands trembled slightly, and it felt as if tiny electric currents were pulsating at his fingertips. The magical power gathered in his palms, gradually condensing into an invisible ball of energy that emitted a soft and warm light.

The light flowed slowly, spreading along his fingers to the pills displayed on the shelf. Each pill began to change under the light, a faint halo appearing on its surface, as if it had been given new life.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xu Hao's forehead. He held his breath and focused intently on channeling his magic power into each pill. As the magic power was poured in, the pills gradually became crystal clear, with faint points of light seemingly shimmering inside, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

Finally, the light gradually faded, and Xu Hao slowly opened his eyes. He saw that the pills on the shelf had been fully activated and transformed into true elixirs. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of satisfaction and relief.

"Is it... all done?" Director Li said slowly from the side, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

"Probably?" Director Zheng nodded in agreement. It was also the first time he had witnessed Xu Hao condensing pills on such a large scale, and he was both surprised and curious.

Director Li frowned, his gaze sweeping over Xu Hao as if deep in thought. "I have two questions," he finally spoke. "I didn't see this kid carrying a bag. How did he just pull out two bottles this big from behind? Does he have some kind of spatial ability? Old Zheng, your report didn't mention that. Also, what were those two bottles of golden potion he chugped down called? They were much more effective than those pills!"

After hearing this, Director Zheng smiled slightly and shrugged. "You can ask him the first question yourself later." He paused, a sly glint in his eyes. "As for the second question, I do know something about it. It's called something like 'sun water'? It's very rare and can't be mass-produced. I've asked him several times already. You can forget about it!"

"Sunwater?" Director Li repeated the name, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if he had remembered something.

Xu Hao did not hear the conversation between the two. At this moment, he stood aside silently. Just now, after the pill condensation was completed, the system notification sounded that his pill refining skill level had been raised to level three.

A vast array of new elixir formulas flooded his mind, and he was currently processing them...

In the continent of Fama, professions like alchemy typically require players to refine pills batch by batch, sew clothes piece by piece, and cook dishes one by one.

Speaking of alchemists, each medicinal herb needs to be carefully sourced, and the rarer the elixir, the more complex the refining process. Only through such effort can an alchemist gradually accumulate experience and improve their level.

Generally speaking, alchemists will choose to refine more difficult pills to speed up the leveling process. After all, people don't have time to fight monsters and level up, so why would they have so much time to devote to life professions?

The same applies to other professions. If you're a tailor, you have to cut the animal hides yourself, piece by piece. If you're a cook, you have to wash the vegetables, chop the ingredients, and find the materials yourself, one by one.

However, Xu Hao exploited a loophole in the system. Instead of choosing those complex, high-level pills, he used a large number of low-level pills to quickly accumulate experience.

Xu Hao: What can I do? I own a pharmaceutical factory, can you believe it? That's why I chose alchemy as my profession. If I had chosen tailor or cook, I would own a garment factory or a pre-made food factory by now.

I'll make sure people in both worlds can eat pre-cooked meals then, hahaha!

Xu Hao quickly snapped out of his daze and saw Director Li and Zheng Jinqiang walking towards him. Director Li smiled slightly, patted Xu Hao on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction and gratitude, "All done? Well done."

He then added, "Since you began supplying these two types of pills on a large scale, the General Administration has been coordinating their distribution, and the casualty rate at local branches has decreased significantly."

Xu Hao smiled slightly, feeling a surge of satisfaction. He had been inspired by Shi Shaowei's heroic figure at the orphanage and decided to join the Bureau of the Strange and Mysterious Affairs. If even one of these pills he concocted could save the life of someone like Shi Shaowei, then his efforts wouldn't have been in vain!

Director Li continued, "Now, we are able to mass-produce these pills, which can not only meet domestic demand but also support some brother units abroad that are similar to our Bureau of Mysteries. Of course, this is not a free gift; we can exchange these pills for many valuable resources and benefits."

Zheng Jinqiang picked up the conversation, his eyes gleaming: "Do you know, Xu Hao? Because of your contributions, the China Bureau of Supernatural Affairs will gain more influence in the global fight against supernatural phenomena. Xu Hao, you have made a great contribution to the country and to our bureau!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hao reverted to his usual seasoned professional self, maintaining his humble demeanor: "It's all thanks to Director Zheng's leadership and Director Li's guidance!"

Director Li and Zheng Jinqiang exchanged a glance, their eyes both showing approval. Director Li patted Xu Hao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Xiao Xu, you're very good. I really have high hopes for you. Are you sure you don't want to come back to headquarters with me?"

Zheng Jinqiang: "You old bastard, are you never going to stop?!"
