Chapter 315 - Revert Potion (1/2)
A young person who seemed to be above thirty stood before Qin Feng with a dense dark circle.
It was the biology research professor that was hired by Qin Feng as a researcher.
In the era where only capability spoke the loudest, ordinary people would take up the profession of a professor in order to live a better life.
The professor was known as Bai Yi, a capable a.s.sistant of Bo Tianyang in his past life, but now it was intercepted by Qin Feng’s recruitment.
“Carry on!” Qin Feng spoke.
“From the information that you have provided, there were more than ten main projects!”
“Researches have been targeted on cats, pigs, bears, rats, hawks, and other ultra beasts, and experimental targets would be set after undergoing genetic comparison, and their combat power would experience a tremendous spike upon their transformation into mutants.”
“Upon the completion of their ma.s.s research, a commonly used potion was developed by them, and it is referred to as the revert potion!”
“These potions were the defected versions of the awakening potion, or the mutated version of it. According to researchers, it has been developed since the beginning of the end times to awaken unique genes in the human body to become more powerful, it is rather unexpected that after more than a hundred years, the effort is still ongoing!”
“Research on the revert potion has undergone several enhancements and the probability of mutation is rather high, whereby ordinary human beings would have a 20% chance of mutation. However, the results of such mutation were rather weak. On the other hand, those who have been awakened would have 60% chance of mutation, and upon mutation, they might even achieve beast general or beast king tier.”
Qin Feng had witnessed for himself the effects of the potions as they were used by many from the dark organizations to spike up their combat power.
“Did the information indicate the channel through which they market the potions? Or who do they supply them to?”
Qin Feng asked.
The researchers would not know the answer, the investigators would know better.
However, for those ordinary people who wanted a better life during such times, they had to go the extra mile in order to succeed. Bai Yi answered immediately, “There was only information about the research work that they handle, their production plant is at another location. Although there were traces of communication that had been sent out, we are unable to track down the recipient with our current capabilities and equipment!”
“Hmm!” Qin Feng nodded, suddenly, he continued to ask, “Tell me, what would be the purpose of producing such potions?”
Qin Feng looked at Bai Yi as his sharp conscious energy was able to sense Bai Yi’s struggle.
Then, Bai Yi forced a smile and adjusted his tone. “Mayor, do you believe in the strength of combined forces?”
Qin Feng was at a loss for words, it sounded familiar to him!
Then, Qin Feng shook his head and chuckled, when he was at the Tangshan Ridge, those who had suggested to him the strength of combined forces were mocked by him!
“Speak up, there’s no need for hesitation!” Qin Feng did not rebuke Bai Yi’s statement.
“Alright, Mayor!” Bai Yi replied, “Allow me to make an a.s.sumption, just an a.s.sumption, if the potion becomes popular among the ordinary people, its effectiveness would allow it to surpa.s.s the demand for awakening potion, with 20% awakening rate, there would be one person awakened out of every five ordinary people!”
Qin Feng sank deep into his own thoughts.
Bai Yi continued, “The apt.i.tude users would become beast generals and beast soldiers. With that, wouldn’t it be much easier for them to face the spatial rifts and ultra beasts?”
Qin Feng recalled his memory of those researchers and their burning pa.s.sion.
Bai Yi forced a smile and added on, “If that goes well, the potion would be the savior for humankind, and allow us to get rid of the ultra beasts and restore peace. I cannot help but to express my admiration toward the researcher who developed such an experiment, meanwhile, the enhancement effort is still ongoing, perhaps it might even succeed in the next ten to twenty years!”
Qin Feng managed to recover from his thoughts and replied, “So, you still think that the potion is beneficial?”
“Mayor, that’s not what I meant!” Bai Yi immediately denied and waved his hand.
Qin Feng knew that Bai Yi felt the opposite.
As a researcher, Bai Yi lived a better life compared to ordinary people who struggled to survive.
Bai Yi was also a capable person that could survive well during the end times.
However, Qin Feng reiterated again, “If combined strength from the ordinary people is what you would suggest, do you also advocate for continuous sacrifices too?”
Bai Yi was afraid to respond.
