Chapter 1318: Chapter 545: Successful Development of Gene Potion

"Strong indeed!"

Wang Tao exclaimed as he looked at the two potions in his hands. He hadn’t expected Qu Shilin to actually succeed in creating such things!

While Wang Tao was completely ignorant about scientific research, he had felt it was quite challenging when Qu Shilin explained it to him. Even though Qu Shilin had awakened Psychic System ability, which significantly boosted her scientific work, giving her the chance to create such things, he had expected it would take a long time.

Yet unexpectedly, Qu Shilin had produced the potions so quickly.

"Do these potions have any side effects?"

Wang Tao asked a critical question. If there were no major side effects, then Wang Tao was willing to call them "Divine Artifacts"!

"Theoretically, there are no side effects, provided you don’t use them above your level, otherwise, your body might not be able to handle it. These potions are tier-based, ordinary people can only use Level 1 potions, a Level 1 ability user can only use Level 1 and Level Two potions, though Level 1 potions likely have no effect... and so on..."

"No side effects, that’s good!"

Wang Tao was somewhat excited.

If these potions, after testing, proved to be unproblematic, they could be promoted within the base, greatly enhancing the strength of the entire Changhe Base!

Of course, since the main ingredient in gene potions used by humans was the "Awakening Fruit," which was not so easy to obtain, the amount of gene potion available would be limited for the time being.

However, this was also not a problem, as Disaster Class creatures would explode into Awakening Seeds. Wang Tao could even kill Destruction Level (Damaged) creatures, so Disaster Class was naturally not an issue. He just needed to pay more attention in the future; whoever saw a Disaster Class creature should immediately notify Wang Tao to eliminate it.

In fact, the Awakening Fruit itself could even let a Level 3 ability user ascend to a Fourth-Order Superpower, but the issue was that one Awakening Fruit could only be used by one human. However, if used to make gene potions, one Awakening Fruit could create many Fourth-Order Gene Potions! Hence, using gene potions was more cost-effective.

"By the way, what’s the upper limit of these gene potions?"

Wang Tao thought of another critical issue. If the potion only reached Level 1, that would be somewhat lackluster. After all, just by successfully integrating A Crystal Core, one could become an ability user, which seemed more cost-effective than gene potions, given the high cost of the latter.

"For the gene potions used by humans, so far I have developed from Level 1 up to Level 4 gene potions. Theoretically, potions beyond Level 4 can also be developed; it just requires more Awakening Fruits, but this will take a substantial amount of time for ratio testing and isn’t feasible to produce at the moment. However, I personally think that the Fourth-Order Gene Potion is the most cost-effective, so I produced more of Level 4 potions... As for the gene potions used by serpentine beings, since the main ingredient and users are different, it does not have tiers; it’s just a matter of dosage..."

"Gene potions for humans range from Level 1 to Level 4... you’ve done a great job! And you’re right, Fourth-Order Gene Potions are the most cost-effective!"

Wang Tao praised again.

His thoughts were aligned with Qu Shilin’s; Level 1, Level Two, and Level 3 gene potions were actually not that important. The important ones were the Level 4 gene potions.

Because if humans do not have Hidden Attributes, they could at most become a Level 3 ability user, with their potential capped there. But if a Fourth-Order Gene Potion was used, one could become a Fourth-Order Superpower!

Although still an ability user, not an Awakened One of Fourth Order, it was much stronger than a Level 3 ability user. Most importantly, it broke shackles and left room for further ascension!

"When can we start the experiment?"

Wang Tao immediately looked at Qu Shilin.

"Anytime!"

"Alright, then let’s not wait for another day, let’s start the experiment now! For the serpentine side, we can let Blacky and the others come for testing. As for humans, should we recruit volunteers or use criminals from prison..."

"Let’s recruit volunteers. I have confidence in my potions, definitely no major issues will arise. However, we need to recruit volunteers who are physically fit because the ascension might be a bit painful..."

Qu Shilin was clearly very confident.

"Good, then let’s recruit volunteers! I’ll have Gu Yun post the recruitment notice first. Shall we go find Blacky and the others? Since the gene potions for serpentine beings don’t have tiers, with their Fourth-Order strength, they should also be able to use them, right?"

"That’s correct, theoretically."

After deciding, Wang Tao immediately contacted Gu Yun.

When Gu Yun heard that Qu Shilin had developed such incredible things, he was momentarily unsettled. Had it not been for Wang Tao saying they were going to experiment soon, Gu Yun would have made a trip to the research institute himself to see these gene potions.

"Don’t worry, I’ll post the notice and recruit volunteers right away! Three volunteers each from ordinary to Level 3, totaling 12 people, right? Okay, wait for my message! By the way, where will you guys be experimenting later? I’ll come and watch!"

"Thanks, we’re heading to the Awakeners School."

"Alright, see you later!"

After ending the call with Gu Yun, Wang Tao took Qu Shilin and flew to the Awakeners School aboard the Golden Eagle.

The Golden Eagle landed directly over the dwelling of Blacky and the others.

This place was a small hillside, planned to be developed into a forest area for Blacky and its companions to live and play in.

However, since the snow inside the base had only been cleared not long ago, planting trees also took time—this place, apart from a few buildings, was still quite bare.
