Chapter 293 - Extraordinary One’s Awakening (2/2)

The Vitality Serum was the most powerful thing he could use on earth with little to no consequences. Anything more powerful might have an adverse effect that was beyond Chen Fan’s control.

A good example of such powerful things were the basic art of Immortal Cultivation. If Chen Fan made it public, all nations would fight to the death to obtain it, risking another world war and encourage all kinds of unsavory acts such as a.s.sa.s.sinations and kidnapping. By then, Chen Fan was not sure if he could protect even himself, much less his loved ones.

“Let’s stay on the topic, what is your offer for the serum?” Chen Fan knocked on the table with his knuckle and asked.

“Depends on what is it you want?” Yu Qin pulled herself together and entered the negotiation mode. “My boss has given me the authority to make any deal with you, as long as it benefits both of us.”

Chen Fan gave Yu Qin a surprised look.

He realized that he had underestimated this attractive strategist.

She could not only overrule the decision of Hong Kong’s governor, and now she was given full authority to negotiate with him. Chen Fan wagered that the girl had many secrets that she had hidden from him. However, Chen Fan was pleased to negotiate with someone he already knew, it would save them a lot of time and back and forth.

“Let me be honest here, the vitality serum has many variants.” Chen Fan crossed his arms and said: “The one I showed you is the most basic version, also the most diluted. It can be further concentrated to create the Essence Version.”

“What will be the differences between the normal version and this Essence Version?” Yu Qin and Ding Shanxue asked as interest glittered in their eyes.

“The Essence Version is concentrated extracts of the normal one. It has three different kinds of basic variants: Double strength, triple strength, and Quintuple Strength.” Chen Fan said confidently. “There is only so much Vitality Serum one can use in a day but with the Essence Version, one can take in a few times more Essence Qi of Life.”

“That’s a brilliant idea!” Ding Shanxue nodded in agreement. “The amount of volume of serum one could use might be finite, but with a higher concentration of Essense Qi, one would get much more benefit. It was like the difference of eating a large bland bun and eating a slice of nutritious meat.”

“General Chen, can the Essence Version also be ma.s.s-produced?” Yu Qin hurried to ask.

“Of course.” Chen Fan nodded and said: “Based on my preliminary estimate, we should be able to meet the global market’s demand with the normal version, and double strength version can be sold in China only. The Triple strength and Quintuple Strength would only have enough for the military consumption.”

“What are the difference between the double strength and the Quintuple Strength?” Yu Qin asked curiously.

Chen Fan cracked a smile and didn’t reply to her right away. Instead, he turned around and looked to Ding Shanxue. “Mr. Ding had worked at the Research Inst.i.tution, so I wager he has seen the Extraordinary Ones.”

“Ah, I think you meant the Super Humans.” Ding Shanxue nodded and said. “They called themselves the Extraordinary Ones but also prefer to be called Super Humans or Supernaturals”

“It’s the same.” Chen Fan said calmly. “Let it be Super Humans or Extraordinary Ones, their power was awoken after they were born. That awakening requires some kind of catalyst, such as the Vitality Serum. Quintuple Strength Vitality Serum would greatly increase the chance of awakening.”

“Really?”

Yu Qin shouted out her amazement.

Ding Shanxue, on the other hand, started to breathe heavily.

Only an academic authority in the Military’s Research Inst.i.tute such as him would fully understand the weight of Chen Fan’s words.

The awakening of the Extraordinary Ones had been an international research hot topic for many years. Even during the cold war era, countless soldiers from America and Soviet Russia were sent to Biology Research Inst.i.tutions to be tested by researchers in searching for a viable method of inducing awakening. However, after decades of research, and countless failed trials, let it be psychological stimulation, gene enhancement or physical stimulation, the problem remained unsolved. Yet, there and then, Chen Fan claimed that his serum would kick start the awakening process.

If Chen Fan was right, the serum would open many new doors to human society.

The current world had only a very few Extraordinary Ones and they spread all over the world. However, if a nation had the technology to force awaken Extraordinary Ones, there would be an army made up of super-soldiers very soon.

“It’s not as straightforward as you think.”

Seeing the two’s elated expressions, Chen Fan shook his head and gave them a dose of reality.” Based on my research, the normal serum could increase the chance of awakening by one ten-thousandth of a percent. The double-strength doubles that chance and the Triple strength times it by three. Since the chance was very small, it required a very long term use of the serum to take effect.”

“What about Quintuple Strength ?” Yu Qin asked curiously.

“One in every ten thousand.” Chen Fan answered lightly.

“One in ten thousand? That’s enough!” Ding Shanxue clapped his hands and exclaimed: “There are 1.3 billion people in China, and that means we would have a super-soldier army of a hundred and thirty thousand strong. We could have at least three hundred extraordinary ones in our hands if we consider only the population of the military.”

Ding Shanxue gave Chen Fan a greedy look and then asked.

“General Chen, what do you want in exchange for the Serum then?”
