What mattered more was later on, when Liu Gan had to ride the airship to the main island. If there had been any accidents while riding the airship, then with such a heavy body he was bound to sink…his downfall would be due to drowning within The Trembling World. His chances of surviving would be very low.
With additional abilities, Liu Gan wouldn’t have to worry about the issue of drowning.
“The appearance of the skin doesn’t change too much, at least, it isn’t visible to the naked eye. The mutation occurs at the cellular level. To be honest, we were worried that there wouldn’t be any rescue coming. To increase our survivability, we injected ourselves with this drug. However, all of us have failed to awaken the ability. None of us had our skin mutate, but if one of us had succeeded, we would’ve arranged for them to depart and seek outside help,” Su Nina replied to Liu Gan.
“This is 3000 meters underwater. Even if you could to breathe underwater, you wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure. Your body would succumb to it, right?” Liu Gan thought for a while and asked.
“We have another drug that is specifically used to strengthen the body’s composition to be pressure-resistant. However presently, this drug is not finished yet. Progress is at a standstill. You are right, the human body isn’t capable of withstanding such high pressure underwater. If we had more specimens, we could make a breakthrough and manufacture it. You must know that the sea it is densely packed with lifeforms. There has to be one or two that could withstand the overwhelming pressure at several thousand meters deep.”
“As long as there is continued funding and resupplies of specimens for us, we can continue the research. There will be a day we can successfully manufacture a drug that helps resist pressure,” Su Nina insisted with Liu Gan.
As Su Nina continued talking, Han GuangMing and Zhao Meng kept staring at her. Han GuangMing was looking at Su Nina’s pretty face. He felt his own face blush red. Zhao Meng’s saliva dripped from his open mouth.
“For the skin evolution drug, you firmly believe that with one injection, there won’t be any adverse effects?” Liu Gan asked Su Nina again. This wasn’t the first time he experienced this type of situation. The first time was when he woke [Psychic Shock] on the island in the middle of the lake.
At that time, the white-coat scientist also said his drug had a low success rate. If two injections were used, the consequences of the side effects would be severe. Aside from Liu Gan, no other volunteers succeeded in activating another ability…it couldn’t be called a completely successful activation.
Even though his ability was a weaker form of the potential ability, it was still a successful activation. When Liu Gan woke the ability, it was weak. But as he leveled up, it became a formidable force. Who knew if this would be a chance to awaken an underwater breathing ability.
“Yes, at present it is still a semi-finished product. If it is only one injection, I can still guarantee that it is within the safety limits. Without any more specimens, we were forced to experiment on ourselves. Of the eighteen participants here, none of us were able to evolve our skin. Even after we injected ourselves, we didn’t observe any changes. That should confirm that one injection is still within the safety limit,” Su Nina nodded.
“How about I test the effects of this drug first?” Han GuangMing suggested to Liu Gan. Han GuangMing had also offered to test for drug products the last time. It was his courage that earned him the right to participate in leveling to 5. Han GuangMing felt as if this favor hadn't been repaid properly.
Finally an opportunity presented itself, and from the sound of it, there weren't any side effects. The benefits of being successful would be a chance to awaken the ability to breathe underwater. The pros far outweighed the cons.
