MTLNOVEL Chapter 517 Gene Potion_2
But the question is, is it really that simple? Or rather, is this gene potion really that miraculous?
"As for the research on this potion, my team and I also have made a significant breakthrough! We are only missing one final component. If we can complete it or find a substitute, I am confident we can truly create the gene potion!"
Qu Shilin's expression was full of confidence.
This was completely different from when she talked about the zombie virus antidote; the making of the zombie virus antidote was just finding a direction. But for this gene potion, it wasn't just about finding a research direction—it was just one final step away!
Although this last step was the biggest problem, as long as it could be solved, the gene potion could truly be developed!
"Oh? Tell me what's missing. Maybe I can help."
Wang Tao immediately said.
He had a lot of things at hand, most of which were not used, but since the Space Backpack had unlimited space, he just piled everything inside.
"We still need a 'main medicine' containing energy. I used the Snake Fruit you gave me for the experiments before, and Snake Fruit is actually something that contains energy, theoretically it can serve as the main medicine. But after my tests, I found out that potions made using Snake Fruit as the main medicine can't be used by humans... it seems that serpentine creatures could use it, though I haven't had the chance to test it... If I could find something that not only contains rich energy but can also be used by humans, then I could make a gene potion suitable for human use!"
Qu Shilin believed her theory was correct, and as long as she had time, she was certain she could produce the gene potion!
But the question was, how much time would it take... Qu Shilin wasn't sure either, after all, it depended on luck.
"Something containing energy, yet usable by humans, similar to Snake Fruit..."
After listening to Qu Shilin, Wang Tao's expression suddenly became peculiar.
"Do you have something like that on you?"
Qu Shilin had been observing Wang Tao intently, and she could not be fooled by his changing expression. Although she felt it was unlikely to be so coincidental, she still looked at him excitedly and hopefully. What if he really had it!
"You really shouldn't say that, I think I actually have what you need..."
As he spoke, Wang Tao flipped his palm and a golden fruit appeared in his hand. It was none other than the Awakening Fruit!
"This is the Awakening Fruit. The specific function is, if consumed by a Third Order Human, they can ascend to Level 4; if consumed by a Third Order Non-Human, they have a small chance of awakening; if consumed by a Human Above Third Order, they acquire 1 Awakening Key; if consumed by a Non-Human Above Third Order, it slightly increases constitution; if consumed by Creatures Below Third Order, they are highly likely to explode and die..."
Wang Tao explained the functions of the Awakening Fruit to Qu Shilin in detail.
"Chirp~"
The Golden Eagle eagerly eyed the Awakening Fruit in Wang Tao's hand.
Wang Tao was not stingy; he directly threw the Awakening Fruit into the Golden Eagle's mouth and then took out another one.
"Do you think this Awakening Fruit could serve as the 'main medicine' for the gene potion?"
Wang Tao asked.
"Listening to what you said... yes! It absolutely can serve as the main medicine! But this Awakening Fruit has too many functions; I will need to conduct several experiments to adjust it for normal human use!"
"That's fine, I have quite a few more. You take them and use them."
Wang Tao then took out quite a few Awakening Fruits and handed them to Qu Shilin.
The Awakening Fruit was something Wang Tao and his peers naturally didn't need, it was only usable by Ability Users with no hope of awakening, but Wang Tao also didn't plan to give it to anyone else because Xiao Jin liked them. Of course, if Qu Shilin was going to use them for research, that was naturally no issue.
"That's really kind of you, I'll take them without being polite!"
Qu Shilin did not hold back and immediately took the Awakening Fruits. This thing was definitely slightly different from the ideal main medicine she had envisioned, but it was unquestionably a good substitute. If the Awakening Fruit was as miraculous as Wang Tao described, she was confident she could produce the gene potion!
"I was actually planning to let Xiao Jin take me flying around to enjoy the breeze, but it seems that will have to wait. I must continue to seclude myself until the gene potion is created; I'm not coming out until then! I'll be off, wait for my good news!"
Qu Shilin said and prepared to leave, but Wang Tao grabbed her hand.
"You don't need to hurry that much... how about this, I'll have Xiao Jin take you back, isn't that much faster than you going back to the lab? Plus, you can enjoy a flight in the sky."
Wang Tao said somewhat helplessly.
"Uh, that seems right, I'll have to rely on Xiao Jin then!"
"Chirp~"
Wang Tao, carrying Qu Shilin, jumped onto the back of the Golden Eagle, and also brought Qu Shilin's Powered Armor. As for Little Huo, Qu Shilin let it stay by Wang Tao's side. Little Huo was quite bored following her in the lab, so having it here to accompany Little Bing was good.
Whoosh——
The Golden Eagle flapped its wings, and under Qu Shilin's astonished gaze, it circled around Changhe Base before finally dropping Qu Shilin and the Powered Armor off outside the research facility.
The arrival of the Golden Eagle naturally attracted the attention of many researchers. They were envious when they saw Qu Shilin jumping down, and they were also curious about the Golden Eagle! However, they were not familiar with Wang Tao, and given the terrifying aura of the Golden Eagle, they naturally didn't dare to approach.
"Wait for the good news then!"
Qu Shilin waved at Wang Tao and then, without looking back, walked into the research facility, once again immersing herself in secluded work.
"She really is a workaholic!"
Wang Tao exclaimed, but it was probably precisely because of Qu Shilin's personality that she had achieved so much in scientific research.
If Qu Shilin could really develop a Gene Potion, she would definitely receive a title like "Mother of Gene Potions" and would leave a significant mark in the history books!
"Keep it up! I need to keep it up too!"
Wang Tao smiled and then returned to the villa.
He had planned to spend more time with Qu Shilin today, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. However, it wasn't a big deal. Today he would rest well, and tomorrow he would go to incubate the Level 6 Night Demon Parasite Eggs. He needed to gather more Sixth-Rank Crystal Cores to prepare for the ascension to Level 6.
After returning, Wang Tao and Ding Yuqin discussed building a nest for the Golden Eagle. Gu Yun also updated Wang Tao about the current situation of Yao Hai and others... The day passed quickly.
The next day, Wang Tao and his group geared up, ready to go out again.
However, their directions were different. Ding Yuqin and her group planned to go to the Rift, where there were still quite a few Level 4 and Level 5 creatures. Wang Tao, on the other hand, was going to incubate a Level 6 Night Demon. The Sixth-Rank Lords were too high-level for anyone other than Wang Tao; taking them there would be useless. It was better to let them hunt Level 4 and Level 5 creatures to gather more Crystal Cores so that they could ascend to Level 5.
Wang Tao first had the Golden Eagle transport Ding Yuqin and the others, along with their vehicle, to the outside of the Rift. He himself did not go to the air-raid shelter immediately but returned home to rest a bit. Only when it was almost dark did he, along with the Golden Eagle and Lightning, fly toward the air-raid shelter.
When Wang Tao arrived at the air-raid shelter, it was already dark, and he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.
"Let's start."
Wang Tao opened the door of the air-raid shelter; inside, the Night Demon's Nest remained unchanged, and the Incubation Flesh was still intact.
He specifically chose nighttime for this reason because the Night Demon could not be active during the day. Hence, he would have to battle inside the air-raid shelter, effectively fighting alone.
But at night, he could lure the Night Demon out. After all, he had the Golden Eagle, a helper almost as strong as himself. It would be a waste not to use it.
Then, adding the 500,000 HP Lightning and a few [Night Demon Type III]... Wang Tao thought that the hunting speed for the Sixth-Rank Lord Night Demon this time should be very quick!
On the way here, Wang Tao had already prepared a Zombie Head. He put a Night Demon Parasite Egg into it and then threw it directly onto the Incubation Flesh.
After a while, a deep purple shadow appeared.
[HP: 500000/500000]
[Mana: 300000/300000]
[Level: Sixth-Rank Lord]
[Awakening: Robust]
"Good luck, the first one is a Sixth-Rank Lord!"
Wang Tao, taking advantage of the Night Demon's slow reaction, immediately launched a massive attack and then ran away.
This 500,000 HP Sixth-Rank Lord Night Demon roared and immediately chased after Wang Tao. A Level 5 creature daring to attack a Level 6 creature like it? It certainly could not tolerate that!
But when it came out, what greeted it was the combined assault from Wang Tao, the Golden Eagle, Lightning, and three [Night Demon Type III]!
