CHAPTER 85: CHAPTER 84: PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF THE NINE DRAGON POTION (TWO UPDATES)

The golden firelight illuminated the entire underground passageway, and Johnson was devoured by the Profound Yellow Merit Fire before he could even utter a sound.

Under the scorching flames of the Divine Techniques Fire, all the spiritual energy equipment, special alloys, and alien modifications turned to ashes.

Behind Johnson, several fully armed soldiers had their minds captured by the Enchantment Technique at the very first moment, their souls thrown into the Soul Banner to become nourishment for a few maimed fierce ghosts.

Even Johnson spilling the truth like pouring beans was a result of Lu Yan’s Enchantment Technique and mental suggestion.

If it weren’t for wanting to know the details behind it all, Lu Yan would have acted the moment he found Johnson appeared.

Although a bit of time was wasted, knowing the clues behind the USB and the reason for the cleansing operation was somewhat valuable.

A flick of Profound Yellow Merit Fire from his fingertips landed on the other corpses, the firelight instantly sweeping away all traces.

The Profound Yellow Merit Fire severs causality and obliterates all evidence.

Lu Yan’s nonchalant actions left Shaq stunned beside him.

As the owner of the Gladiatorial Arena, Shaq was well aware of Johnson’s strength.

One of the most senior sheriffs in the Central City District, his innate strength alone could easily crush Shaq, and more importantly, that main battle-class heavy Liquid Metal Armor he wore, capable of defending against a Spiritual Energy Cannon attack.

Aside from not being equipped with heavy artillery, he was nearly fully armed, able to confront and even defeat Law Enforcement Officer Scott directly.

Yet, even such a fully armed Johnson was effortlessly exterminated, his metal armor that could withstand the Spiritual Energy Cannon effortlessly incinerated by that golden firelight.

Shaq knew Lu Yan was powerful, but the gap between them was so large he found it hard to gauge until now.

The fully armed Sheriff Johnson in front of Lu Yan was no different from a fragile child.

"Before he fell from power, what was his position in the Universal Giant Corporation?

A department head? A branch supervisor? Or had he already reached the level of regional manager?"

Just as Shaq was speculating in his mind, Lu Yan, standing by the exit, suddenly spoke.

"Shaq."

Shaq instantly composed himself, quickly bowing in response: "Yes!"

"You should have heard what Johnson said clearly, the cleansing operation targeting the Lower City District is already an inevitable trend.

What you need to do now is to quickly leverage the Nine Dragon Power Potion to form alliances, uniting them to resist the cleansing from the Upper City District."

A flash of somberness crossed Lu Yan’s eyes.

He had long suspected a possible threat from the Upper City District, but he hadn’t expected it to arrive so soon.

In a way, it was a foreseeable outcome.

When Lu Yan first crossed over, two police officers mistook him for a spiritual ability user from the Upper City District, and in their formulaic interrogation, the signs of the cleansing operation were vaguely discernible.

The current world version update progress was only a quarter through, with four and a half months left before he could leave the cyber version, but the crisis was imminent, and he had to address it.

Although Lu Yan had a certain level of power now, individual strength was insignificant before an entire civilized society.

Once the cleansing from the Upper City District descended, even if Lu Yan abandoned his underground pharmaceutical factory and fled deeper into the Cave, he might not be able to escape the sweep.

After all, Johnson had already said that the Cave, the wilderness, and the no man’s land were all within the cleansing range.

All he could do was leverage the forces of the Lower City District to delay the cleansing.

If he could hang on for four and a half months, Lu Yan could trigger the version update and leave this frenzied world.

However, before that, Lu Yan had to find a way to help the Lower City District cope with the cleansing crisis.

Lu Yan was not convenient to act directly, so he had to support a proxy, and Shaq was undoubtedly the best choice.

"The Upper City District wanting to send people to the Heaven Computation Center surely cannot use large-scale destructive weapons against the Cave, which is where the Lower City District’s advantage lies.

You need to leverage the Nine Dragon Power Potion to quickly cultivate a batch of spiritual ability users to form combat power, so they can respond to changes at any time."

"I will follow your orders!"

Shaq was delighted, realizing clearly that this opportunity could very well be the greatest chance of his life.

If successful, he might become Lu Yan’s agent, sitting at the top of the Lower City District.

And if he failed? At worst, he would die directly, or a bit more unlucky, be sent to the Heaven Computation Center to provide computational power.

Could any ending be worse than having one’s soul crushed for a hundred years?

Suppressing his joy at the corners of his mouth, Shaq cautiously asked about a very crucial piece of information.

"May I ask, boss, what is the production capacity of this Nine Dragon Power Potion?"

Though the Nine Dragon Power Potion could aid in using inferior Spiritual Energy Potions, it wouldn’t be effective after just a few courses; it must be used in large quantities to have hope of becoming a spiritual ability user.

If the production capacity is too low, it might affect future plans.

Lu Yan extended a finger.

"One hundred doses?"

Shaq was somewhat disappointed; this production capacity was a bit low for modern industrial standards, though considering the precious value of the Nine Dragon Power Potion, it was reasonable.

This quantity should be enough only for him to cultivate his power, insufficient to handle the various forces in the Lower City District.

But Lu Yan shook his head, making Shaq instantly happy:

"Is it a thousand doses? If the daily production capacity is a thousand doses, it’s more than enough to penetrate the main forces of the Lower City District.

Even without the Upper City District’s cleansing, the Nine Dragon Power Potion alone could unite them."

However, to Shaq’s surprise, Lu Yan continued to shake his head.

"Currently, the daily production capacity of the Nine Dragon Power Potion is ten thousand doses, with potential increases according to the situation later."

Lu Yan gave a very conservative number.

In truth, according to the production line’s capacity, the Nine Dragon Power Potion could easily produce over fifty thousand doses for a nine-dose course.

However, the core of the Nine Dragon Power Potion lay in the added Spirit Stone powder, with one Spirit Stone able to provide Spiritual Qi for a thousand doses.

If the production capacity was too high, the consumption of Spirit Stones would be too great, and Lu Yan himself would find it hard to supply.

After all, when Lu Yan left the Xianxia version, he only brought about three thousand Spirit Stones, which, if fully produced, would be exhausted in no time.

However, Lu Yan already had a solution in mind, ready to implement upon return.

Although Lu Yan was dissatisfied with this number, Shaq was deeply immersed in the surprise Lu Yan brought.

Ten thousand doses of the Nine Dragon Power Potion, even using a hundred doses along with inferior Spiritual Energy Potions, could forcibly yield a spiritual ability user.

And ten thousand doses meant at least a hundred spiritual ability users, a capacity strong enough to have a profound impact on the Lower City District.

Shaq suddenly felt that, with Lu Yan’s support, the Lower City District might have a chance to resist this cleansing!
