Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Medicine Can Revive the Dead

Dragon Blood Flower 35 ml, Moon Water Powder 17 g, Losoto Solution 96 ml, Catalytic Paste 12 g, Spirit Sand 15 g, Fluid Ice 30 ml... After the modification, a brand-new formula appeared before him. Aiko was utterly stunned. He never believed this kid could improve a finished prescription—this was something only master-level gene specialists could achieve, something even he himself couldn't do. But he never expected that Feng Lin would actually produce a plausible formula. The original formula had undergone changes, more or less, and a new ingredient had been added: 30 ml of Fluid Ice. Gene potion formulas follow a certain logical relationship, with medicinal properties complementing each other. Aiko silently calculated the final efficacy based on the properties and proportions of various herbs, but for the moment, he couldn't spot any flaws. He was instantly torn. Could this kid really have improved the formula? What about the saying "trying to steal a chicken only to lose the bait"? This was it! He had originally just wanted to deliberately make things difficult for this newcomer, give him a warning, and make him behave in the future. Instead, it had become an opportunity for the newcomer to showcase his abilities. ... Seeing the research team leader Aiko looking utterly incredulous, Feng Lin remained perfectly calm. This formula had reached the level of a high-grade potion, more scientifically sound than the original—Feng Lin had personally tested it, so even if this guy stared until he saw patterns, he wouldn't find a single flaw. Team leader Aiko's expression grew more serious the longer he looked, and finally, he even took out his identity chip and started tapping on it, using his optical computer to simulate and calculate the efficacy. But the conclusion he reached didn't make him happy. According to the optical computer simulation, the final result showed that this new formula had a 52% chance of being an improvement, raising the grade to a high-grade potion; a 21% chance of maintaining the same efficacy; an 8% chance of a grade decline; and a 19% chance of unknown effects. So from a theoretical standpoint, the efficacy was already a great success—the next step was clinical testing. Seeing that team leader Aiko was genuinely looking for trouble with this newcomer, the R&D department folks, each eager to see chaos, were watching the spectacle, only to find it was much ado about nothing. After looking at the formula, team leader Aiko fell eerily silent, leaving everyone utterly baffled. "What's going on? Why has team leader Aiko gone quiet staring at that formula?" "Could it be that this newcomer really stumbled onto a new formula?" "That can't be possible, right?" ... They whispered among themselves, not believing Feng Lin could improve a formula, but watching Aiko's grave expression, their voices grew softer and softer until they faded away, losing their own confidence. Feng Lin watched calmly, showing no sign of panic. After a long while, Aiko looked up and gave Feng Lin a deep stare, his gaze sharp as a knife, as if trying to pierce through him and uncover all his secrets. Feng Lin met his eyes directly, showing no fear. Aiko lowered his gaze, a trace of helplessness flickering in his eyes, and said weakly, "Don't get too cocky! Whether the formula works or not still needs to be tested through experiments!" A seemingly skeptical statement, delivered flatly, yet it sent a wave of shock through the R&D department. What? The formula needs to be tested to know? Even team leader Aiko can't find any flaws in this new formula? Everyone was stunned. The R&D department was the core technical division of Giant Pharmaceuticals—anyone working here was no slouch, and Aiko, who had risen to the position of team leader in this place full of hidden talents, was exceptionally capable. He was a genuine gene pharmacist with deep expertise in the field of gene potions. If he couldn't find a problem, it meant the formula had a very high chance of success. How was that possible? Eyes turned to Feng Lin, everyone wondering, where did this prodigy come from? "Follow me!" Team leader Aiko said gruffly, leading Feng Lin to a glass chamber in the corner of the R&D department. A naked figure floated in the solution, limbs dangling limply, completely powerless, hanging there like a lump of rotten flesh. His eyes were rolled back, his face vacant, and he had completely lost consciousness. "Mix up your improved adrenaline potion and test it on this lab rat!" Aiko said gruffly, emphasizing the word "improved" with a hint of gritted teeth. "No way! This is a living corpse! Though he's not dead yet, he's completely unconscious." "This guy has been tested with so many potions that his nerves are completely shattered! Ordinary adrenaline potions have long since stopped working." "It looks like team leader Aiko isn't going to let this go easily!" ... Everyone exchanged glances, as if they could already see Feng Lin's misfortune. No matter how good this new potion was, could it really cure a living corpse already sentenced to death? They muttered incessantly. Team leader Aiko's expression darkened, and he swept a cold gaze over them, silencing them instantly, too afraid to say more. Though it was a deliberate provocation, Feng Lin didn't mind. Adrenaline is a hormone and neurotransmitter that increases heart contractility, dilates blood vessels in the heart, liver, and skeletal muscles, and constricts blood vessels in the skin and mucous membranes—it's essential for saving dying people or animals. For dealing with a living corpse with destroyed nerves, an adrenaline potion was the most suitable choice. Others didn't know the efficacy of this new formula, so their skepticism was normal. Feng Lin had personally tested it, so he had no doubt about the potion's effects. This human lab rat was just an ordinary person. His formula was a high-grade potion with astonishing potency—even if it couldn't save this person, it would definitely produce some reaction. As long as it worked, it proved the formula was effective, and then he'd see what team leader Aiko had to say. Still, this test subject had no grudge against him, and Feng Lin felt a bit of psychological resistance to human experimentation, unable to bring himself to do it. But after a moment's thought, his mood improved. After all, this person was already a living corpse. Taking his medicine might even save him, which would be a good deed—saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. If it didn't work, this person could find release; continuing to live like this would be worse than death. With no more psychological barriers, Feng Lin didn't hesitate. His hands moved swiftly, deftly beginning to mix the potion. Having prepared potions several times, Feng Lin was already very skilled. His movements were fluid and seamless, without any slack. Anyone with an eye for it could see the expertise. Aiko's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, a hint of wariness in them. He knew that Feng Lin had never studied adrenaline potions before, yet now he handled this formula with such proficiency—his talent was truly astonishing. Frank, the supervisor, hadn't exaggerated in his praise of this newcomer; if anything, he had underestimated him. No wonder this kid had been assigned to the R&D department right after joining the company—he couldn't be underestimated. The others in R&D were also watching in shock, but wary of the team leader, they dared not speak loudly. Soon, a bottle of potion was successfully prepared. It was a light red, transparent and clear, with a decent appearance. Just the color of the fully integrated potency gave the impression that this potion had a very high chance of success. Now it was time to see the real effects. "Here you go!" Feng Lin handed over the potion. Aiko didn't stand on ceremony; he personally operated, introducing the potion through the glass chamber's tube into the living corpse "lab rat's" body. Immediately, the previously motionless living corpse began to tremble all over. Every muscle quivered violently, his rotten-flesh-like body twisted into a pretzel, his limbs jerked as if electrocuted, his tightly shut eyes snapped open, his face twisted in pain, and he was gradually regaining consciousness. One dose, and it took effect instantly. Everyone was shocked. This improved adrenaline potion could actually cure a living corpse!
