How does this high-grade potion formula improve the efficacy of the drug while increasing the duration?
This is simple!
The two main medical components of the Adrenaline Potion are the dragonblood flower’s nectar and spirit powder. For the two aspects of improvement, we just have to adjust the medicinal effect of the two components and there would be results!
Why must you use fluid ice?
Because fluid ice is a natural spirit particle suppressor. It can effectively lower the activity of the spirit particles and because it’s purely made from water molecules, it wouldn’t cause any adverse reactions when mixed with the other medical components.
How can you tell precisely the actual amount needed for each of the medical components?
This is also simple. The Adrenaline Potion is a gradeless potion. Its medicinal effect isn’t strong and even if there are side effects, the consumer would also be able to endure it. I personally tested it out myself and can clearly sense the change in the strength of the medicinal effect, thereby slowly improving it until the formula is optimal. This is much more accurate compared to human experimentations, allowing me to modify the formula to greater effect with quicker speed!
…
The researchers of the R&D department gathered together with Feng Lin in the center. He patiently answered each question asked and drew a round of applause at the end of it.
Well spoken!
As expected of a genius genetic researcher personally recruited by Manager Frank!
The speed of your thought process far exceeds ordinary humans!
…
An impressed look could be seen on the faces of everyone.
For a period of time, the large R&D department became a place solely for Feng Lin to give lectures. Almost all the researchers here were becoming his fans.
His formless influence spread out silently.
Feng Lin neutralized the hostility of everyone toward him, and through answering the questions of all the researchers with no reservations, the relationship between him and them started to warm up as he furthered deepened the impression that he was a good guy in the hearts of all these people. This impression was so deep that it would no longer be changed easily.
He did so many things because he wanted to completely dissolve the hostility in the hearts of everyone toward him first before he attempted his hypnotism technique.
As things continued, Feng Lin gained more and more understanding with regards to hypnotism. He was no longer restricted to a single method but was learning how to apply the techniques creatively and pragmatically.
If earlier Feng Lin was considered everyone’s enemy, the hostile attitude slowly changed to coldness, changed to the relationship of strangers, changed to being familiar with him and changed to being passionate about him… In the end, their emotions were now of admiration and worship toward him.
Feng Lin had completely become the center of attention in the R&D department and was extremely conspicuous.
What are you all doing? Why are you guys not doing research? If you dare to slack, just forget about obtaining the month’s end bonus! I will even dock all your salary!
A dissonant voice rang out as a person with a sullen look on his face walked in.
If it wasn’t the taskforce team leader Aike, who else could it be?
Everyone gave Feng Lin a ‘good luck, you are on your own’ look as they scattered like birds and beasts, leaving the area here.
Feng Lin, you came to the R&D department to work. If you wish to chat with someone, you can immediately leave the R&D department now and return home. There are more than enough slackers on the internet who are willing to waste time with you,
reprimanded Aike rudely.
Feng Lin had a calm expression on his face. He smiled.
The task you gave me earlier was already completed. Am I not waiting for you, the leader, to give me another task to do?
Aike felt fury in his heart. You mean that after half-a-day, it is my fault that you are slacking here idling your time away?
He initially wanted to start mocking Feng Lin. But all of a sudden, he only saw a pair of immeasurably deep eyes looking at him.
The pair of eyes were like black holes devouring all light. Even his consciousness was devoured.
A strange ripple gushed forth, formless and without substance. It was like a gentle breeze of wind blowing against the mountain walls. Like the light of the bright moon shining against the lake’s water.
The anger in Aike’s heart suddenly seemed to be doused by a cold wave of spring water.
His expression stiffened as his heart was filled with bewilderment. He wanted to be angry, but he didn’t seem to be able to get angry. Hence, his expression looked somewhat comical.
Ai? What’s going on with me?
All of a sudden, his thinking changed. As the team leader of this research taskforce, why must he deliberately make things difficult for a member of his team?
Although this newbie didn’t have the foresight and made him extremely unhappy with his attitude toward human experimentations, Feng Lin could still be considered an honest guy from the initial time they met.
He himself was someone with a magnanimous heart that had a capacity that could contain the boundless seas; there was no need for him to set himself against a newbie. That would only serve to drag his status down.
…
As Aike’s thinking changed, his emotions changed as well. He was no longer angry although his tone was still cold.
Feng Lin, your talent isn’t bad. Your modifications to the Adrenaline Potion caused the progress speed of our research taskforce to greatly increase. However, you have to know your own limitations and don’t waste time asking stupid questions and idling about. Alright, here comes your next task. I want you to improve on the formula for the potions of life and lower the pain generated when one is consuming it!
This scene caused everyone who was watching this to be greatly shocked.
When did this strict and unkind leader become so friendly to people? Was there a ghost? Or could it be that this little fellow had used some sort of methods?
Everyone started to speculate silently.
A formless ripple then extended outward.
The doubt in everyone’s heart vanished and was replaced by the feelings of embarrassment and guilt.
Earlier, Feng Lin didn’t hold anything back. He even imparted his experiences and formula of the improved Adrenaline Potion to us. Sigh, how can we start to doubt him without any evidence now?
How mean of us!
They suddenly linked it back to the fact that Feng Lin’s earlier performance had completely convinced Aike. This must be why his attitude toward Feng Lin now was so mild; he even designated a much easier task compared to the one he had given earlier.
Feng Lin himself also didn’t expect the effect of his hypnotism technique to be this good.
Many thanks, leader.
He agreed immediately and accepted the task Aike gave him, not letting Aike have any time for regret.
Aike faintly felt that something was wrong, but since he had already spoken, he naturally couldn’t go back on his words.
Do it well then.
Leaving a sentence, he hastily turned and departed.
Feng Lin silently wiped away his cold sweat as his vision started to dim.
Hypnotism truly isn’t something one can do often.
Compared to earlier where he had been using formless ripples of hypnotism to influence others, Feng Lin couldn’t be bothered to waste time with Aike when he saw that Aike had clearly been here to make things difficult for him. Hence, he had forcibly used the hypnotism technique to brainwash Aike. By doing so, the consumption of mental energy was naturally much larger in comparison.
His mental energy was soon exhausted; it was too tiring.
In addition, although he forcibly brainwashed Aike today, he must not use it too often or there would be reverse effects and cause others to realize that something strange was going on. That would be self-defeating.
Luckily, he had succeeded at the initial step.
Next, Feng Lin decided to stop. He completely retracted the mental energy back and no longer tried any tricks.
Once an impression was formed, as long as there were no special changes, it would generally remain.
Feng Lin wasn’t worried that these people would return to their original states.
One couldn’t help but say that his work environment that had been extremely harsh to him at the start was now a lot better.
Feng Lin no longer felt the sensation of being targeted at every moment.
Due to the fact that he had overused his mental energy, Feng Lin felt extremely tired and spiritless for the entire day.
Luckily, there was no time limit for this task. After spending an unproductive day at work, he returned home and immediately fell asleep on his back.
During the next day after his mental energy had recovered, he started to attempt improving the formula for potions of life.
Feng Lin knew that what he had to do next was to produce striking results, excelling at every task that was given to him. Only then could he become a core member of the R&D department and come into contact with the company’s true secrets.
The task this time around wasn’t difficult. Although he had to improve on the formula for potions of life, it was fine as long as he could reduce the pain that would be inflicted to the body when one was consuming the potions of life.
With regards to the medicinal effects caused by the potions of life, Feng Lin was extremely familiar with them. After all, he had drunk large amounts of potions of life before.
Especially so for the first time, the powerful medicinal effects of the potions of life would rapidly modify the human body’s structure. That kind of feeling that was akin to ‘first destruction followed by creation’ would generate waves of pain and agony to the consumer. His experience was still fresh in his memory.
This wasn’t caused by the nature of the potions of life itself.
By its nature, potions of life were merely gradeless low-tier potions. How stimulating could they be?
The pain felt was generated by the human body when it started to undergo changes.
The more outstanding the effect was, the larger the degree of the transformation and the more intense the pain there would be.
Pain basically represented that the medicinal effect was good.
Originally, there was no need to modify the formula for potions of life at all. If one couldn’t even take this bit of pain, why were they still thinking about cultivation?
Which interstellar cultivator didn’t succeed in evolving after enduring much suffering and putting in hard work?
But now, Aike actually requested him to modify the potion of life so the amount of pain would be greatly reduced when one consumed it.
Feng Lin didn’t feel that this was to reduce the efficacy of the potion of life.
As he stared at the pain-filled, hideous expressions of the human test subjects, he was deep in contemplation. By lowering the severity of the pain, was it because Aike didn’t want these test subjects to die from the torturous pain so ordinary humans could consume potions of life as well?
Feng Lin’s mind whirled and he thought of an idea. That was to increase the numbing medical components of the potion of life.
If one fainted, the sense of pain would be dulled. It was like injecting them with anesthetic.
Thinking of this was simple, but it was not so easy to succeed in doing it.
Feng Lin made use of the A.I. here in the R&D department to accurately calculate what sort of ingredients could he add to potions of life to increase the anesthesia effect.
Very swiftly, the A.I. listed three ingredients. Hundred Flowers Snakegrass, Whaledragon Oil, and Intoxication Fruit Juice.
The A.I. was ultimately still an A.I.; it could only begin its calculation from input data. But if one really wanted to find the answer, they still had to personally experiment with it.
Feng Lin started his experiments. He used the skill he discovered earlier—the gene micro-manipulation technique—to place the ingredients and allocate the appropriate amounts before he personally tested the effects.
Ultimately, he managed to create a new and improved version for potions of life; 100 milliliters of Whaledragon Oil must be added to achieve the numbing effect. The consumer would then sink into a deep sleep, and the sensation of pain and agony would be greatly dulled.
The effects of the original potions of life remained unchanged, just that the numbing aspect was increased.
Since Feng Lin had already accomplished his mission, there was naturally no need for him to continue to waste time and effort to improve on the formula.
Even for the perfect-grade potions of life, they were already not very effective to the current Feng Lin.
After Feng Lin handed up the improved formula, Aike was amazed. He then tested it out on a test subject and was extremely satisfied with the effects.
The human test subject was now sleeping like a dead fish, completely not moving at all, yet his vitality stats was rapidly surging up.
The result of the experiment was in perfect accordance with the task assigned to Feng Lin.
Aike found Feng Lin more and more pleasing to the eye. Although there was some minor unhappiness at the start, it was true that his talent surpassed the others here. He had been of great help, allowing the progress speed of the research taskforce to advance greatly.
Hmm, maybe it’s time to let Feng Lin know about the core secrets of the research taskforce!
Under Feng Lin’s subtle influence from his hypnotism technique, Aike’s malice toward Feng Lin had completely vanished. In his heart, he began treating Feng Lin like a capable subordinate and would often smile and laugh with Feng Lin.
If earlier their relationship could be said to be one of complete enmity and loathing, they were now completely friendly with each other.
The people of the R&D department had an expression on their faces like they had just seen a ghost. When did the relationship between Aike and Feng Lin become this good?
Yet, they didn’t notice the gleam in Feng Lin’s immeasurably deep eyes. His eyes were like black holes, capable of devouring the souls of others.
The brainwashing attempt was a success!
