12 harming medicine (1/2)
The so-called overdrafting to the limit, is the side effect displayed by the body when someone consumes more energy than is readily available; and the body forcefully extracts the emergency reserve usually dormant in the body. This is also what causes the phenomena of gaining more strength under life and death conditions. Su Hao knew about this occurrence but he did not expect his condition to be like this.
After pondering for a moment, he finally understood – the police fighting techniques!
These days, he had increased his physical fitness by practising fighting techniques. With police fighting techniques, he had enhanced his combat method for another 150 points. This only barely met the minimum requirement to be able to display police fighting technique without self harm.
Although was indeed able to use the fighting techniques, the burden on his body was too much!
If not because of Chen Yiran, this time, he might even need a very long duration to recover to his peak condition.
“At first, I thought I will rush through beginner, intermediate and advanced techniques at once.” Su Hao thought for a moment. “Seems that the conditions have now changed. I should concentrate on my physical fitness first.”
Su Hao’s physical fitness was not weak, however, it couldn’t keep up with the strain from fighting techniques.
Let just go back home first and do a bit of research online.
Science development had progressed at such high pace. Body enhancing drugs were everywhere, however, the price was really too much. Some even reached a staggering price tag of several millions which made Su Hao speechless. Even if he sold himself, he could never afford them. Of course, this was from Su Hao’s perspective who was rather poor, their abundance compared to demand meant that companies were selling at relatively small profit margins, covering the cost of materials and production.
Unfortunately, the cheapest among them required 1 million star dollars!
Su Hao could only bitterly smiled as he looked at them. He then thought for a moment. Beginner restoration medicine already costs 10 thousand. These permanent enhancing drugs were too expensive!
However, Su Hao did not decide to give up his dream. He could only slowly practice, with little progress day by day.
Besides the regular online store, there were of course black markets. There, some weird and strange drugs were being sold. Perhaps some of them would meet his requirement.
Su Hao then set the medicine arranged according to lowest price first. One by one, he scanned through the description and suddenly, he frowned.
The so-called cheap products were trash. The side effect from consuming them were too extreme and some might even lead to blindness or other disabilities. Su Hao was not satisfied and continued scrolled down. These had passed the one million range.
“These doping drugs with side effects are even more expensive than ordinary medicines?”
Su Hao was curious and clicked on one of the most hot selling products.
(T/N: This creator definitely loves S&M) {E/N: A masochist? Quite possible)
Su Hao was shocked. This side effect was simply a self harming drug!
If you use this drug the same way you would use a normal strengthening drug, it will only give you half the effects. However, if you are injured while under the effects of the drug, the improvement you get will be enhanced. Taking this drug, isn’t it just to harm own self?
The higher the degree of pain you can withstand, the higher the increase in your physical fitness!
The most absolute nonsense was the price of this drug reached such a high price, 3 million. This was more expensive than ordinary drugs by 3 times!
Su Hao bitterly smiled. When he was ready to exit the page, he saw the name of the drug creator and was startled. “Creator of this drug: Berserk master”
Berserk master Zhang Zhongtian?
Su Hao’s eyes suddenly shined. That place last time when he exchanged the star grass?
If he wanted to buy from the usual channels he would obviously not able to afford it. However, if through accomplishing certain tasks……as far as his understanding on the character of Zhang Zhongtian, this pharmacist is definitely annoyed with any complicated and troublesome matters. Usually, he would just use his own produced drugs as task reward.
Thinking of this, Su Hao immediately rushed to origin ability firm.
Once he reached the lobby and saw the self-help platform, the screens were as usual, busy as ever. Since he had completed the task from there once, he could just directly log in with his fingerprint and poof~, all his personal information appears.
Su Hao directly opened the menu for the previous task giver. He wanted to look at every task available. The next second, a series of task information popped out on the screen. There were too many, hundreds of listed tasks and more kept appearing, to the point where his hair started to stand.
“This master, the herbs that he could not buy in the market, he would definitely make a request here.” Su Hao knew that to create those banned drugs, all sort of strange materials would be needed.
“Quest for beginner body strengthening drug.”
“Di–”
The screen instantly popped up a window, “There is no such task as of now.”
“No?”
Su Hao curiously opened one of the advanced task and found out that the reward for the task has all become star dollars!
“This can’t be true…….”
Su Hao wrinkled his eyebrows. This is not like the style of Master Zhang.
Su Hao did not know that this was actually all his fault. After that one complaint last time, the origin ability firm had requested a very strict inspection on the task reward. Master Zhang would never have time to spend on the inspection. He would rather drop the drugs off at the black market. After selling them, he would then put up the task with star dollars as the reward.
