Gong Lixin eloquently promised to write down the prescriptions for the medicines he remembered before he was able to stop Jin Shangyu from kneeling and gripping his pants to death. Jin Shangyu had refused to let go. If it weren’t for Jin Shangyu’s treatment for his father, Gong Lixin would have pushed her away by now.
Jin Shanghui, who was playing with a bunch of transparent nuclei on the floor, didn’t know what was going on with his younger sister. He simply thought that she was playing with the teenager. Seeing this, Jin Shangyu quickly let go. Holding onto the two prescription in her hand, she walked to the laboratory that Gong Xiangyi arranged for her next door.
Jin Shanghui was fed several third-level crystal nuclei while Gong Lixin hesitated to visit Jin Shangyu’s laboratory. He didn’t want to disturb the young woman who was immersed in her scientific research. So he decided to only pop in the laboratory to look. Seeing a glass filled with blue liquid in the corner soaking a few dozens of first-grade transparent crystal nuclei, he paused for a moment before looking at them carefully.
The liquid in the bottle was blue and sometimes, there were several transparent bubbles, which made it look very pretty. Getting close, Gong Lixin could feel an urge to drink the liquid in the bottle as well as cause a momentary disturbance with his internal force. He pressed against his Dantian, which was feeling a little restless, and shifted his eyes to Jin Shangyu and asked, "What’s in this? It seems to disturb my power."
"Ah, don’t touch that! That’s the juice of dementor plant." Jin Shangyu turned her head and warned Gong Lixin sternly. "A dementor can absorb the power of the body, melt it into juice and store it for its growth. The ingredient needed is a very dangerous plant. The juice of demontor plant is being used to extract the energy inside these nuclei and make the blue potion just like in online games. Once you drink this, it would restore your power instantly. How’s that? Impressive, right?"
Jin Shangyu’s face showed her excitement, but it quickly fell down again. She said weakly, "Unfortunately, the texture of a zombie’s nucleus is too hard and too dense. These juices can’t do anything to them at all. Even after having soaked it for so long, the energy accumulated is only 0.1%. It’s no wonder that dementor only cause trouble to humans but pose no threat to zombies. If anyone could grind these crystal nuclei into powder and then soak that power in the liquid, the blue potion would definitely able to reach its final stage of production. I heard metal ability users or zombies have indestructible body and strength. After being promoted to fifth-level, I will be counting on my brother to help crush these nuclei."
Jin Shangyu complained for a long time. Although Gong Lixin didn’t understand a lot of the terms, he got the gist of it. If this medicine was successfully developed, it was really a good thing. The people that fights to exhaustion originally had to wait for death, but after immediately taking this medicine, their energy would be restored and the fight could be instantly reversed. In addition, it was more convenient and faster to absorb than the energy of many crystal nuclei in the form of a liquid rather than one by one. With this potion, the combat power of ability users in the base would greatly improve.
Thinking of that, Gong Lixin nodded. He took one of the transparent crystal nuclei from the pile on the table, placed it in the palm of his hand and used his internal force to crush it. He then asked, "Is it fine like this?"
A dazzling stream of silver powder slipped from the palm of the teenager, cascading onto the table. The sun shone on it, making it shine and appear more beautiful than the stars in the sky. Jin Shangyu looked dumbfounded and it took her a long time to return to reality. She stuttered out, "Yes, that’s right." She’s such an idiot! How did she forget that Gong Lixin could do this? The other could easily wound her brother and destroy the indestructible body of the King Kong vine, so why not grind a few crystals into powder? She fisted her hands in excitement.
Gong Lixin lowered his head, took several crystal nuclei in his hand and crushed them. A pile of silver powder quickly piled up on the table, forming a little cone. "How much do you need." He asked as he rolled a few crystal nuclei in his hand.
"Place the crushed silver powder here." Jin Shangyu quickly found a clean plastic basin and carefully brushed the powder on the table into it. She place it under the young man’s hands then, placed her hand on her cheek and watched him work with squinted eyes. She cheerfully said, "Crush a hundred nuclei so I can experiment with them. Although the energy in first-level crystal nucleus is small, it can be taken regardless of the type of ability an ability user has. If the production is successful, I’ll try it with another type of crystal nuclei. Rest assured, all the blue potions you need with be given to you for free in the future, as long as you come and help me make the powder." She patted Gong Lixin’s shoulder, feeling pleased.
"Thank you." Gong Lixin thanked her before he went back to crushing a bunch of crystal nuclei.
Jin Shangyu shivered with excitement, wanting to urge him to hurry, but didn’t dare speak. She couldn’t wait experiment with her hypotheses. Ah, this world will become so beautiful because of Gong Lixin and because of Gong Lixin, there’s hope everywhere! She kept rubbing her hand while joyfully thinking of all the possibilities.
Jin Shanghui, who was fiddling with crystal nuclei, saw the young man’s behaviour and became curious. He ran to him in a few steps and stared at the silver power in the basin. The silver powder kept on accumulating and, finally, he couldn’t help his inner curiosity. While stealing at look at the young man to see his reaction, he stretched out his fingers to poke the silver powder pile. Seeing that the young man didn’t show any displeased expression and didn’t open his mouth to scold him, he became more daring. He dipped his finger in the silver powder again then put it into his mouth.
As soon as the powder entered his month, the silver powder melted, turning into little shimmering light at the corner of Jin Shanghui’s mouth. It looked as if they flying in the air like a firefly before they slowly dimmed and finally, disappeared. Feeling such a wonderful sensation, Jin Shanghui paused for a moment, then immediately hooked the teenager’s sleeve with his fingernail and motioned to pay attention to him, fast.
Gong Lixin raised his brow, stuck a little silver powder at the tip of his finger and fed it to Jin Shanghui. The silver powder turned into light spots again; part of it penetrated into Jin Shanghui’s body and part of it escaped into the air. The scene resembled a magician’s trick. The light magic was a bit unreal. Jin Shanghui had lost interest in this silver light after seeing it once and became interested in something else, as if he had discovered a new continent. With a novel and cheerful expression on his face, he couldn’t let go of the finger in his mouth. He licked the teenager’s finger with the tip of tongue. He then spits it out, grabs the teenager’s wrist and let him grab another touch of silver powder to feed him. This way of eating made the taste hundreds of times better than usual way and made him intoxicated.
Gong Lixin understood his action. He dipped his finger into the silver powder and fed Jin Shanghui. He squinted and shuddered at the feel of the other’s barbed tongue slipping over his fingers and couldn’t help laughing.
The two played with each other and their closeness kept on increasing, but what they didn’t know was that Jin Shangyu could see all this very clearly. Aiya, this kind of brother of hers was in an ambiguous relationship with Gong Lixin. What was this feeling of someone having attacked her base? They haven’t grown up yet. They are playing. Playing! After driving out all kinds of naughty thoughts, Jin Shangyu’s distorted face gradually returned to peace.
Gong Lixin was busy having fun. He took out his wet finger out of Jin Shanghui’s mouth, turning his face to Jin Shangyu and asked, "What happened to create those light spots just now?"
"Ah, the saliva and gastric acid of zombies also have the effect of digesting and storing energy. This is why they can promote themselves by eating the flesh of ability users. However, saliva is not as powerful as gastric acid and cannot fully extract the energy in crystal nucleus. Grinding the crustal nuclei is the equivalent of turning hard rice into gruel, which makes it easier to absorb. So as soon as silver powder touched his mouth, the energy in it was extracted when it encountered Jin Shanghui’s saliva." Jin Shangyu simply explained.
Gong Lixin thought for a moment then said, "When Xiaohui swallows a crystal nucleus, he can digest it in ten minutes. It’s evident that gastric acid is more suitable for soaking crystal nucleus and extracting energy from them rather than the juice of dementor plant. Why not use gastric acid then?
"Young Master Gong, are you insane?" Jin Shangyu looked at him with a bizarre look, "Zombie’s saliva and stomach fluid are poisonous. Even if it wasn’t poisonous, who would dare to drink that?"
"I’d dare. But since you can’t stand it, do it according to your thoughts." Gong Lixin said lightly as he stroked Jin Shanghui’s wet lips with his fingers. Didn’t he eat anything in order to live in that Underground Palace? He said so because he thought it was easier and faster to use gastric acid. But he forgot that the ordinary people had a fragile tolerance and weak bodies.
Jin Shanghui squinted his golden eyes and slightly opened his lips as he allowed the other person to touch them. His face exuded an expression of extreme enjoyment as he did so.
Aiya~ Don’t do such ambiguous gesture in front of her, she will have rotten thoughts! She’s a rotten girl! Jin Shangyu’s cheeks were red and her tone of speech was stiff, "I’m afraid that there’s only one power ability user such as you in this world, so let’s do it according to your schedule." Then she saw the teenager using his pink fingers to entangle her brother’s tongue. Her brother’s eyes lit up and watery mist-like eyes showed a hint of intoxication. She quickly turned her head away, covering her face as she let out a moan.
It took a long time to correct her rotten mind. Jin Shangyu coughed and pretended it was nothing serious, "I’m afraid that I’ll be too busy studying so many medications. Please find me some assistants."
"Where do I find them?" Gong Lixin stopped playing with Jin Shanghui and asked seriously.
"Aren’t we in a prison? There should be drug-related criminals in this prison, no? They can use the simplest equipment to make the highest purity drugs. Their chemical knowledge and medical knowledge are sufficient to be assistants. Go search the island and ask around. There must be many of them!" in Shangyu said attentively.
Jin Shangyu was very fortunate that this place used to be the largest prison in Country C. The prisoners were not good people, but different types of criminal. There were gun dealers who were good at handling equipment, drug dealers who were good at compounding chemical drugs and economic criminals who were good at accounting and financial management...In short, Long Snake Island was definitely a good place to find talented individuals.
Gong Lixin nodded bluntly and was about to turn and leave, but was stopped by Jin Shangyu. "Wait a minute. Help me also catch a few mutant mice. Although I don’t know if they’ll be useful, the drugs always need animals to experiment them on."
"Why use animals? Isn’t it better to use the drugs on people directly?" Gong Lixin asked with a frown. In his former life in the Underground Palace, Xiao Lin raised a large group to test his drugs. He had a calm tone as he didn’t think there was anything wrong with his suggestion.
"I think so too, but your Dad would definitely not agree. It’ll let him know that neither of us are good fruit!" Jin Shangyu wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead at the mere thought. She had a deeper understanding of Gong Lixin’s evil nature.
"I’ll bring two people here. Just test the drugs on them, Dad won’t say anything." Gong Lixin’s lips hooked up and he walked out while waving his hand. Seeing this, Jin Shanghui immediately followed suit.
Jin Shangyu already knew the situation on Long Snake Island and combined with her clever mind, she already figured out that the two the youth spoke of must be Bao Long and Zhao Ying. It’s never good to provoke others, but to provoke a little devil is even worse. Of all the people they could have chosen to bother, they just had to pick the worst possible choice. Do they have a death wish or what? Jin Shangyu sighed and continued to study the two prescriptions given to her.
Right then, the criminals in Long Snake Island brought in for drug dealing didn’t know that the future will change and the history-making pivot was the many potions that was created by their own hands.
