Chapter 546 Successful development of genetic medicine

    “Strong!”

    Looking at the two potions in his hand, Wang Tao sighed in admiration. He didn''t expect Qu Shilin to actually make such a thing!

    ?Although Wang Tao doesn’t know anything about scientific research, he found it difficult when he heard Qu Shilin’s introduction before. Even if Qu Shilin awakens her spiritual power, which will greatly benefit her scientific research work and have the opportunity to create such a thing, she will probably have to wait a long time.

    Unexpectedly, Qu Shilin made the potion so quickly.

    “Do these two medicines have any side effects?”

    ?Wang Tao asked a key question. If there were no major side effects, then Wang Tao would be willing to call him an "artifact"!

    "Theoretically, there are no side effects. The premise is not to use it beyond the level, otherwise the body may not be able to bear it. This medicine has levels. Ordinary people can only use first-level medicines, and first-level superpowers can only use first-level and The second-level potion, although the first-level potion should have no effect...and so on..."

    “It’s good if there are no side effects!”

    ?Wang Tao was somewhat excited.

    ??If these medicines are tested and determined to have no problems, they can be promoted in the base to greatly increase the strength of the entire Changhe base!

    Of course, since the main drug of the genetic medicine used by humans is the "awakening fruit", and the awakening fruit is not so easy to obtain, the number of genetic medicines will not be too large for the time being.

    But this is not a problem. Disaster-level creatures will explode awakening seeds. Wang Tao can even kill destruction-level (disabled) creatures. Disaster-level creatures are naturally not a problem. As long as you pay more attention in the future, no matter who sees it, If there are disaster-level creatures, please notify Wang Tao immediately and let Wang Tao go over and eliminate them.

    In fact, the awakening fruit itself can promote a third-level superpower user to a fourth-level superpower user, but the problem is that one awakening fruit can only be used by one human being. And if you want to make genetic potions, one awakening fruit can make many fourth-level genetic potions! Therefore, it is more cost-effective to use genetic medicine.

    “By the way, what’s the upper limit of this genetic medicine?”

    ?Wang Tao thought of another key issue. If the potion was only of the first level, it would be a bit useless. After all, as long as you successfully fuse a crystal core, you can become a superpower. I feel that this is more cost-effective than genetic medicine. After all, the cost of genetic medicine is not low.

    "Humans use genetic medicines. Currently, I have only developed genetic medicines from the first to the fourth level. Theoretically speaking, medicines after the fourth level can also be developed. It only requires more awakening fruits, but this will take a lot of time. After conducting a ratio test, there is currently no way to produce one. However, I personally feel that the fourth-level genetic medicine is the most cost-effective, so I make more fourth-level genetic medicine... As for the genetic medicine used by snakes, due to the main reason. The medicine is different from the user, so it is also different from human genetic medicine. There is no grade in this, it is just the difference in dosage..."

    “Do humans use genetic medicines from the first to the fourth level? You are already great! And you are right, the fourth level genetic medicine is the most cost-effective!”

    ?Wang Tao praised again.

    ? He ??and Qu Shilin had the same idea. In fact, the first-level, second-level, and third-level genetic medicines were not important. What was important was the fourth-level genetic medicines.

    Because if a human does not have hidden attributes, he can only become a third-level superpower at most, and the upper limit is fixed. But if you use the fourth-level gene potion, you can become a fourth-level superpower!

    ?Although he is still a psychic and has not yet awakened, he is not as good as a fourth-level awakened person, but he is much stronger than a third-level psychic. The most important thing is that this can be regarded as breaking the shackles, and there is still room for promotion!

    “When can the test be carried out?”

    ?Wang Tao immediately looked at Qu Shilin.

    "anytime!"

    “Okay, it’s better to choose a day than to hit it. Let’s start testing now! As for snakes, it’s easier to just ask Xiaohei and the others to come over for testing. As for humans, let’s recruit volunteers? Or use criminals in prison...”

    “Let’s recruit volunteers. I’m confident in my medicine. There will definitely be no big problems. But I have to recruit volunteers with better physical fitness, because it may hurt a little when I get promoted...”

    Qu Shilin is obviously confident.

    "Okay, let''s recruit volunteers! I''ll let Gu Yun publish the recruitment information first, and let''s go find Xiaohei and the others first? Since snake genetic medicines have no levels, with their fourth-level strength, they should be able to use them, right? "

    “Yes, in theory it is.”

    After the two decided, Wang Tao immediately contacted Gu Yun.

    ?When Gu Yun heard that Qu Shilin had developed such an awesome thing, he suddenly became uneasy. If Wang Tao hadn''t said that they would conduct experiments later, Gu Yun would have come to the institute to see the genetic medicine in person.

    "Don''t worry, I will make an announcement right now to recruit volunteers! There are 3 volunteers for ordinary people to Level 3, right? There are 12 people in total, right? Okay, wait for my news! By the way, where will you go to test it later? , I’ll go take a look too!”

    ?Gu Yun spoke with some excitement.

    “Excuse me, we’re going to the Awakening School right away.”

    “Okay, see you later!”

    After Wang Tao ended his call with Gu Yun, he took Qu Shilin with him on the Golden Eagle and flew to Awakening School.

    ??The golden eagle landed directly above Xiaohei and their residence.

    ?This is a small hillside, and the future plan is to build it into a forest for little blacks to live and play.

    ?However, after all, the snow in the base has only been cleared not long ago, and planting trees also takes time. Now, except for some buildings, other places here are bare.

    ?Wang Tao saw the huge Xiao Hei at a glance, lying lazily on the ground. In addition to Xiao Hei, the other four black snakes are also there.

    Sensing Wang Tao''s arrival, Xiao Hei immediately crawled over, followed by several other black snakes.

    “Shilin has developed a potion that can help you snakes improve their strength. Do you want to try it?”

    ?Although Wang Tao felt that Xiaohei and the others would not refuse, after all, they were all his partners, so Wang Tao still had to ask for their opinions.

    As Wang Tao expected, the five black snakes, including Xiao Hei, were very interested.

    “Okay, let’s get started.”

    ?Wang Tao nodded.

    ?Qu Shilin immediately took out five light red genetic potions. The main drug of these five genetic potions was snake fruit.

    After injecting the genetic medicine into the five black snakes one after another, Wang Tao quietly watched their changes, while Qu Shilin took out his tablet computer and recorded various data that Wang Tao could not understand.

    After a while, Xiao Hei felt nothing, while Er Hei and Wu Hei both felt like they wanted to wake up.

    “Hmm-huh? Awakening?”

    ?Wang Tao confirmed again that he heard correctly, it was not a promotion, but an awakening.

    Promotion means that they can be promoted from the fourth level to the fifth level, but they are still at the elite level; while awakening means that they are still at the fourth level, but they can become the lord level!

    Theoretically, the combat effectiveness of fifth-level elites and fourth-level lords is similar, but in fact, the potential of the two is completely different, and the gap is huge.

    “They said they felt like they wanted to wake up!”

    ?Wang Tao immediately told Qu Shilin the news. When Qu Shilin heard it, she was not as surprised as Wang Tao.

    "Actually, it''s normal. Didn''t you say that the snake fruit has a certain chance of awakening snakes? Although the probability is small, there is a chance after all. It is normal for them to awaken."

    "Right…"

    ?Wang Tao nodded, then looked at Erhei and the others.

    “Then you guys can just wake up, there won’t be any problem.”

    But these black snakes shook their heads.

    ? They told Wang Tao that they just had a feeling of awakening. The important point is that this is just a "feeling" and cannot directly awaken.

    …”

    ?Wang Tao didn’t quite understand it for a while. Once he had the feeling of awakening, he should be able to awaken directly, right? Why can''t you wake up yet?

    ?However, when he relayed these words to Qu Shilin, Qu Shilin immediately understood the problem, and she immediately explained:

    “This is because the quantity of genetic medicines is not enough! I just told you that snake genetic medicines are different from human genetic medicines. There is no level limit, only the dosage. Obviously, they need more medicines!”

    It suddenly dawned on Wang Tao that this was reasonable, so he asked again:

    “So that’s it, do you still have this red genetic medicine?”

    Qu Shilin nodded immediately:

    "Of course! Most of the ingredients in the genetic potion are common, only the ''main drug'' is rare. The main drug used in this genetic potion for snakes is snake fruit. You gave me a lot of snake fruit before, and even us The snake fruit has been successfully transplanted back to the base. There are still a lot of snake fruits. If there is not enough medicine, I can just go back and make it quickly. "

    “That’s good, let’s continue?”

    "good!"

    ? Qu Shilin took out a large amount of red genetic medicine for Xiao Hei and the others to use.

    At this time, Gu Yun also came over in a car.

    “I’m not late, am I?”

    ??After Gu Yun got out of the car, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and jogged over without any mayor''s posture.

    ??He just heard that Wang Tao and Qu Shilin were going to start testing the effects of the genetic medicine. He immediately dealt with the matters at hand and Wang Tao''s request, and then rushed over without stopping for a moment. In his opinion, the emergence of genetic medicine will be a thing that will go down in history. As the mayor, he has to watch this kind of thing with his own eyes, otherwise wouldn''t it be derelict in his duty? Of course, he also wants to write his name in the history books a few more times.

    “It’s not too late, it’s just right. Mutated beasts are not the same as humans, so it takes a little more time.”

    ?Wang Tao said with a smile.

    "That''s good!"

    ?Gu Yun was relieved.

    ?Just when Wang Tao gave a brief explanation to Gu Yun, Qu Shilin injected another round of genetic medicine into Xiao Hei and the others.

    ?Xiao Hei still felt nothing and had no discomfort. Erhei and the others said that their sense of awakening was a little clearer, but not enough.

    “Wang Tao, if not, you can continue injecting them here, and I’ll go back to the research institute to make some more red genetic medicines temporarily. I feel they may use a lot of medicines.”

    “That’s okay, I’ll ask the golden eagle to take you back.”

    ——

    The golden eagle carried Qu Shilin and flew away in an instant. Wang Tao and Gu Yun continued to inject genetic medicine into Xiao Hei and the others.

    ?Even after they used up all the genetic medicine left by Qu Shilin, Erhei and the others still failed to awaken.

    ?But fortunately, Qu Shilin also came back, bringing more genetic medicine.

    “Keep injecting, it should be soon!”

    ?Wang Tao waved, and the others started working again.

    Finally, when Wang Tao broke open the snake''s scales and inserted another needle, Erhei immediately said excitedly that it was about to awaken!

    Following this, three blacks, four blacks and five blacks also expressed in turn that they could finally awaken.

    “Very good, let’s get started.”

    Soon, the four black snakes coiled up and fell into a deep sleep.

    ?Wang Tao looked at Xiao Hei again.

    “You have used so many genetic medicines, why is there no reaction?”

    ??Xiao Hei immediately used its huge head to rub against Wang Tao''s body like a baby.

    After all, the other four black snakes are fourth-level elites, but it is a fourth-level lord, and its levels are different. It is not easy for it to advance to fifth level.

    ??However, there is a vague feeling that it can be promoted, as long as enough genetic medicines are used...

    "Okay, I won''t give up on you. Anyway, the genetic medicines are quite sufficient now, so you can continue to use them."

    ?Wang Tao used a large number of snake genetic medicines on Xiao Hei.

    When the potions on hand were almost used up, Xiao Hei finally said that it could be promoted to the fifth level!

    “Phew—this is really a bottomless pit!”

    ?Wang Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Hei falling into a deep sleep. Then he looked at Qu Shilin and said:

    “Do you still have snake genetic medicine in your hand?”

    "That''s all for now. There are still some snake fruits in the research institute, but not much. I didn''t expect that promoting to the fifth level would consume so much, more than I expected. So I take back what I said before, it seems that the snake fruits are really not enough. ...But after all, the snake fruits have been transplanted to the base and are growing rapidly. The next batch will mature in a few days, and they will all be promoted to level five soon!"

    ?Qu Shilin was also a little surprised. As the user''s strength increased, the amount consumed increased exponentially. She estimated that in order to produce a fifth-level human gene potion, more awakening fruits would be used than she originally expected...

    “Hiss—if these five black snakes can all be promoted to fifth-level lords…”

    When Gu Yun heard this, he was already a little uneasy. Happiness came suddenly.

    ?Wang Tao looked at Gu Yundao and said:

    “The next step is to conduct experiments on volunteers. When should we start?”

    "let me see…"

    ?Gu Yun quickly looked at his information watch, and then said excitedly.

    “Eh? There are too many volunteers willing to sign up. My secretarial team has already selected people and can start the experiment at any time!”

    “Okay, then you ask all the volunteers to go to the city hall and we can start.”

    "good!"

    ?Wang Tao and his team flew back to the city hall.

    After waiting for a while, the 12 volunteers came.

    ?Wang Tao made it clear to them in advance, and after confirming that there were no problems, he picked up the genetic medicine and injected it into them himself.

    After a while, all 12 people fell into a deep sleep.

    “It’s done!”

    ?Qu Shilin, who had been observing from the side, immediately clenched her fists.

    "Niu beep! Niu beep!"

    Those who were more excited than her were naturally Gu Yun and the committee members—Gu Yun just called all the decision-makers of the base to come and let them witness history with their own eyes.

    "Okay, I''ll go back first, and I''ll come over tomorrow to see how they are doing."

    It was getting dark by now, and Wang Tao had been busy all day.

    "good!"

    After leaving the city hall, Wang Tao looked at Qu Shilin.

    “Are you going back to the institute, or are you going home with me?”

    …”

    Hearing this, Qu Shilin didn''t know what she thought of, and suddenly pinched Wang Tao''s arm slightly.

    “Is it so straightforward? I hate it~”

    “…You may have misunderstood something. What I want to say is that tomorrow morning, Lan Yulian and the others will be promoted to the fifth level. I want you to feel it carefully.”

    ?Wang Tao shrugged speechlessly.

    …”

    ?Qu Shilin suddenly blushed. You must have misunderstood, shame on you!

    ?However, Wang Tao is not a person who does not understand customs. He added:

    “Of course, if you want to talk about life with me, I don’t mind.”

    “You... are bad!”

    ?Qu Shilin glared at Wang Tao fiercely.

    When Wang Tao saw this, he laughed and jumped onto the back of the golden eagle with Qu Shilin in his arms.

    "go home."
