Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 88: Controlled drugs

Su'en didn't rest at No. 88 Gingko Street, but instead found a random hotel to take a nap.

In the evening, he received a reply from the mysterious alchemist at the "Three Fire Guns Tavern," agreeing to meet at the usual place the next morning at ten o'clock.

Then it was another day of wandering the streets, gambling and fighting in the arena all night.

It is worth mentioning that the arena has been very lively these past two days.

Many important figures from the inner city seemed to have come to the VIP room on the second floor. The gambling in the casino was getting bigger, and the fights in the arena were becoming bloodier. The gamblers were excited, and Kay and the others thought it was a good sign of Green Street's prosperity. The more lively it was, the more money they could make. But Su'en, who silently watched everything by the arena, always felt that there was an undercurrent behind this unusual liveliness.

But he didn't worry about it.

For him, this was also a good thing.

The more lively the arena was, the more soul fragments he could harvest.

.......

In the early morning, the deadly battles in the arena ended, and it was time for Su'en to finish work.

He hired a few porters to move all the equipment from the basement of No. 88 Gingko Street.

Since he couldn't find a suitable place to live, Su'en simply didn't bother and rented a basement near the shooting range. Although the new place had a less dense dark spiritual power, it was quiet enough when the door was closed. The mechanical workshop and training ground were barely enough. He could also go directly to the shooting range next door for target practice.

It was still early after moving, so Su'en adjusted and tested two pieces of high-tech exercise equipment.

The "Neuromuscular Bioelectric Stimulator" connected to his body, and a current-like energy flowed through his muscles, constantly stimulating the muscle fibers to tear.

The effect of training for half an hour was also very obvious.

Because Su'en could accurately grasp the changes in his body data, he confirmed that this high-tech equipment was indeed effective.

Just in terms of muscle stimulation, the training effect with the connected equipment was about three times better than without it.

Then there was the "Steam Ultra-Low Temperature Therapy Device." After intense exercise, the muscles were in a state of high excitement and fatigue, and they needed rest and recovery. Only when the values of muscle strength, muscle endurance, and lactate threshold increased would it be beneficial. Spending two or three minutes in the device with a temperature of minus one hundred degrees instantly relieved the fatigue of the skin and flesh. This also greatly improved the efficiency of recovery and shortened the recovery period.

Although the equipment greatly improved the effectiveness of physical training, Su'en was not satisfied.

In this world, besides high-tech equipment, the most exaggerated and direct way to enhance the body was through "alchemy potions"!

.......

At ten o'clock, Su'en arrived at the dilapidated warehouse where the previous transaction took place on time.

Because it wasn't their first transaction, the few guys pretending to be gangsters were obviously not as nervous.

Su'en saw the mysterious alchemist again.

For some reason, when he saw the tightly wrapped body of that guy, he suddenly realized that the words "Semi-Mutated Human" identified earlier were somewhat glaring.

Su'en had insufficient knowledge in this area before, and he didn't understand what it meant.

But after harvesting the memories of the assistant professors from the Black Tower Academy during the expedition, he gained some basic understanding of biology.

This made him feel incredible.

In theory, mutations were irreversible.

Once a person mutated, they were destined to become irrational monsters.

Therefore, the situation of this mysterious alchemist named "Danny" being a "semi-mutated" was very special.

This reminded Su'en of some advanced knowledge he read in the "Zombie Research Diary" yesterday.

A thousand years ago, that crazy sorcerer did indeed successfully extract "Mutation Suppression Samples" from live experiments, making the mutations of zombies controllable.

Although Su'en was not sure what the situation with Danny was, he felt that it was very similar.

Su'en was lost in thought, slightly distracted.

At this moment, the alchemist Danny took the initiative to speak, "Sir, what potions do you plan to buy this time?"

Su'en said, "The 'Mutation Monster Aversion Potion' you gave me last time saved my life, so I plan to get some more."

Although it saved Rena's life, in a sense, it also saved the identity of "Su'en."

Keeping one on hand might come in handy in the future.

Hearing this, Danny seemed a little hesitant and said, "The main ingredient for that potion is hard to find in the outer city, and I don't have much of that potion left."

Su'en also felt that it was difficult. Even the Black Tower Academy instructors didn't have the potion. "What materials do you need? Next time I go to the black market, maybe I can help you keep an eye out."

Danny said, "I need the marrow fluid of high-level mutated monsters. The higher the rank of the monster, the better the effect of the potion. The one I sold you last time was made from the marrow fluid of a second-rank silver strange creature."

Listening to this, Su'en asked, "Can any kind of strange creature's marrow fluid be used?"

Danny said, "Basically, yes."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."

Su'en nodded and then said, "I also want to buy the 'Mutation Tolerance Enhancement Potion' that you wanted to sell last time."

The 'Mutation Tolerance Enhancement Potion' was prepared for the fusion with the Dark Gold Spider Implant.After reading the materials yesterday, the defected vice dean told Su'en about a situation. That is, if top-quality materials are used to refine the finished plant equipment, it will be very powerful, but the "containment value" requirement will also be extremely high. It is estimated that he needs to reach a level of around 1400 in dark spiritual power before he can ensure that there will be no distortion. However, when Su'en was promoted to the first rank, he only had around 1200.

Originally, the dean said he could demote and use inferior materials.

But Su'en refused this proposal.

He thought of the "Distortion Tolerance Enhancement Potion" in the alchemist's hands, which can increase the curse tolerance value by 10-18%. If he takes this potion, it should be just enough to integrate with the dark gold plant equipment.

......

"Okay, but I only have one."

Danny had no intention of selling the special potion in his hands, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to sell it to others.

And for the sake of the transaction, they also brought it with them.

Su'en successfully obtained the "Distortion Tolerance Enhancement Potion," and now everything was in place.

Then he asked again, "In addition, I now need a physical enhancement potion without side effects, the higher the level, the better."

Danny gave a suggestion, "I happen to have a "PTX Rampage Enhancement Potion" and a "Lester VI Generation Blood Cell Enhancer"... These potions are laboratory-level things that are not available in the market. You may not be familiar with them, but I can guarantee that their effects are absolutely the best. Do you want to try them?"

Su'en immediately agreed without even seeing the potions, "Okay."

Danny thought of something and added, "I can sell you the potions, but I still hope that you can only use them yourself and not disclose them to anyone. Otherwise... both you and I will get into big trouble."

"No problem!"

When Su'en heard the names of the potions, he naturally knew what trouble they were referring to.

Because these were truly controlled substances!

He had an impression of the names of these two potions. They were special refining potions used for internal training by the noble students of the Black Tower Academy. They could greatly improve training efficiency and promote muscle growth.

These were advanced potions exclusively provided by the Black Tower Laboratory for the "limited supply" of the academy, and any external circulation was prohibited. Once discovered, it would be a serious crime punishable by the gallows!

And, if he remembered correctly, the students were only using "Fifth Generation Potions" now, but Danny took out the "Sixth Generation"?

As soon as he heard the name of the potion, he could basically confirm that Danny was a pharmacist from a top-level laboratory in the inner city!

In an instant, the two potions were handed over to him.

[PTX Rampage Enhancement Potion]

Explanation: Taking it will allow you to train beyond your limits, greatly increase muscle strength during training, accelerate fatigue recovery, provide sustained explosive energy, endurance, and focus; the effect lasts for 12-13 weeks.

[Lester VI Generation Blood Cell Enhancer]

Explanation: Taking the potion continuously enhances cell activity, muscle growth +60%, recovery efficiency +144%; the effect lasts for 16-18 weeks; there is a 5-20% fluctuation in data due to individual differences in physique.

Su'en used the All-Knowing Eye to take a look at the explosive effects of these potions, and he immediately decided to buy them, "How much?"

These effects were at least two or three times better than the best refining potions he had seen on the black market!

When he heard the inquiry, Danny seemed a little hesitant in his eyes and said, "They are not sold on the market, so I don't know how much they are worth. But the material cost alone for these two potions exceeds five hundred thousand. I'll give you both for one million... or eighty thousand."

"No problem."

It was definitely a conscience price to sell them for less than the cost price.

Su'en immediately paid in cash and obtained the two potions.

He then asked, "If I need these potions in the future, is it possible?"

Danny looked troubled, "It's... difficult. Without a laboratory-level potion room, even with the materials, these potions cannot be refined."

"Oh."

Su'en felt a little regretful.

But being able to obtain such high-level potions was already an unexpected surprise.

The effects would last for a few more months, which was enough for him to think of a solution.

At this time, Su'en said again, "I know that your potions cannot be sold on a large scale, but if there are potions that need to be sold, you can contact me directly. At least I can guarantee that your information will never be leaked, and the price will satisfy you."

Since he learned about the situation of this mysterious pharmacist, he knew that this guy must be in need of money.

After all, being an alchemist was a very expensive profession. Although the finished potions were valuable, the materials wasted during the refining process were also astonishing. Relying solely on those half-sized kids around him to steal, he couldn't support his daily research.

After two transactions, they had established a basic trust. Hearing this, Danny nodded, "Okay."

At this point, Su'en remembered something and casually asked, "By the way, last time when I was hunting in the underground dungeon, I encountered many mutated distorted monsters. Do you know what's going on? Many of those monsters were species I had never seen before, and they were much stronger than ordinary distorted monsters."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Danny clearly seemed a little hesitant. It seemed that he knew the reason for the situation but was reluctant to say it directly.But after selling so many special potions, he also guessed that Su'en must have already speculated about his origins to some extent.

Thinking about it, he just mentioned, "I heard that there was a serious accident in the inner city laboratory a few years ago, which caused some special substances to leak into the city's sewer system, triggering biological mutations... I'm not sure about the specific situation, but it's best for you, as a hunter, not to go to the sewer."

So it was a laboratory leak?

Su'en listened and nodded, "Hmm."

.......

Two more days passed, and Su'en went to the black market.

He finally got his hands on the Alchemy Planting of the "Eight-Armed Spider God Spear" as he had wished.

The finished product was even more perfect than expected!
