Chapter 1319: Chapter 545 Gene Potion Developed Successfully_2

Wang Tao immediately spotted the huge Blacky lying lazily on the ground. Besides Blacky, the other four Black Snakes were also present.

Sensing Wang Tao’s arrival, Blacky quickly crawled over, followed closely by the other snakes.

"Shilin has developed a potion that can enhance the strength of you serpentine beings. Would you like to try it?"

Although Wang Tao felt that Blacky and the others would probably not refuse, they were his partners after all, and he wanted to ask for their opinions.

"Sss~"

Just as Wang Tao expected, all five Black Snakes, including Blacky, were very interested.

"Alright, let’s get started."

Wang Tao nodded.

Qu Shilin immediately took out five pale-red gene potions, the main ingredient of which was Snake Fruit.

After injecting the gene potion into the five Black Snakes, Wang Tao quietly watched their changes, while Qu Shilin took out a tablet to record various data that Wang Tao couldn’t understand.

Moments later, Blacky felt nothing, while Er Hei and Wu Hei both had a sensation of wanting to awaken.

"Hmm—hmm? Awaken?"

Wang Tao confirmed again, he hadn’t heard wrong, it was not an ascension, but awakening.

Ascension meant they could move from Level 4 to Level 5 but remained at the Elite Level; whereas awakening meant they would still be at Level 4, but could become Lord Rank!

Theoretically, a Tier-Five Elite and a Level 4, Lord had similar combat power, but in reality, their potential was completely different, and the gap was significant.

"They say they have a feeling of wanting to awaken!"

Wang Tao immediately shared this news with Qu Shilin, who did not seem as surprised as Wang Tao.

"That’s actually normal. Didn’t you say that Snake Fruit has a certain chance of causing serpentine beings to awaken? Although the probability is small, there is still a chance. Their ability to awaken is within the normal range."

"That makes sense..."

Wang Tao nodded and then looked at Er Hei and the others.

"Then just go ahead and awaken, there shouldn’t be any problem."

But the Black Snakes shook their heads.

They told Wang Tao that they only had a sensation of awakening, the key point was, it was just a "sensation" and they couldn’t directly awaken.

"..."

Wang Tao was momentarily confused. After having the feeling of awakening, shouldn’t they be able to awaken directly? Why couldn’t they awaken?

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

"It’s because there isn’t enough of the gene potion! I just told you, the Serpent Gene Potion is different from human gene potions; there are no level restrictions, only differences in the amount used. Clearly, they need more potion!"

Wang Tao then understood, this also made sense, so he asked:

"So that’s it, then do you have more of this red gene potion?"

Qu Shilin nodded immediately:

"Of course! Most of the ingredients for the gene potion are very common, only the ’main drug’ is rare. The main drug used in the gene potion for serpentine beings is Snake Fruit, which you have provided me with in large quantities before, and we even successfully transplanted Snake Fruit back to the base. Currently, there is still a lot of Snake Fruit. You don’t need to worry about running out of potion. If we really run out, I can go back and make more quickly."

"That’s good, shall we continue?"

"Sure!"

Qu Shilin then took out a large amount of the red gene potion for Blacky and the others.

At that moment, Gu Yun also drove over.

"Did I arrive late?"

After getting out of the car, Gu Yun, wiping the sweat from his forehead, jogged over without any airs of a mayor.

He had just heard that Wang Tao and Qu Shilin were about to start testing the effects of the gene potion, and he immediately handled his affairs and requests from Wang Tao as quickly as possible, then rushed over without stopping for a moment.

In his view, the appearance of the gene potion would be an event worth recording in history, and as the mayor, he needed to witness it personally, otherwise, wouldn’t it seem like a dereliction of duty? Of course, he also wanted to have his name mentioned a few more times in the history books.

"Not at all, you’re just in time. Mutant beasts and humans are quite different, so it takes a bit more time."

Wang Tao smiled.

"That’s good!"

Gu Yun then breathed a sigh of relief.

While Wang Tao briefly explained the situation to Gu Yun, Qu Shilin once again injected another round of gene potion into Blacky and the others.

Blacky still felt nothing and had no discomfort. Er Hei and the others then indicated that their sensation of awakening had become clearer, but it was still not sufficient.

"Wang Tao, how about this, you continue to inject them here, and I’ll go back to the institute for a while to make some more of the red gene potion. I think they might need a lot of injections."

"Alright, I’ll have Golden Eagle send you back."

Whoosh—

Golden Eagle carried Qu Shilin away in an instant. Wang Tao, together with Gu Yun, continued to inject the gene potion into Blacky and the others.

Even after they had used up all the gene potions Qu Shilin left behind, Er Hei and the others still could not awaken.

However, fortunately, Qu Shilin also came back, bringing more gene potions.

"Continue the injections, it should be soon!"

Wang Tao gestured, and the group resumed their busy work.

Finally, as Wang Tao pried open the snake scales and another needle went in, Er Hei immediately expressed excitedly that it was going to awaken!

Following that, Sanhei, the fourth Black Snake, and Wu Hei also indicated in turn that they could finally awaken.

"Very good, then let’s start right away."

"Sss~"

Soon, the four Black Snakes all coiled up and fell into a deep sleep.
