The Extreme Green Dew Formula!

On October 1st, the gates of the Marine Base opened on time, and nearly two thousand naval personnel marched out in formation, led by Rear Admiral Gary, who had previously exchanged a few Gaili with Vidal.

After several months, the middle-aged Rear Admiral has accepted the reality.

They chose to submit to Vidal, their young adjutant.

There was no way around it; everyone in the base was busy, and he was the only one doing nothing. Any normal person would feel anxious, after all, he couldn't Vice Admiral to Antoine, who was almost retired, while he wasn't.

Therefore, for this sweep mission in Grove 0, he took the initiative to go to Vidal's office and volunteered to lead the team.

Vidal didn't make things difficult for him, nor did he mention the previous incident. He simply gave him orders naturally. They were all adults and didn't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, so there was no need to take it too seriously.

Moreover, a senior major Rear Admiral is considered a formidable fighting force in Sabaody!

Major General Gary was very experienced. He first ordered Brigadier General Eller and Brigadier General Bevis to block the bridge connecting Hotel Street 70 and Shipyard 50 to prevent anyone from sneaking into these two densely populated areas.

Finally, he personally led a group of officers and thousands of marines from Area 60 into Area 0.

His goal wasn't to capture or slaughter the people inside, but to drive the remaining trash to Sector 10!

Vidal didn't care about these things because he had gradually learned to delegate and trust others. As a superior and leader, one should learn to relieve pressure, otherwise one will never have enough energy.

After handing Colonel the planning map of Grove 0 to Noel in the past few days, he left all the subsequent matters to the other party to handle.

Of course, you can't just let him do the work; you also have to give him a big promise. For example, tell Noel that once Grove 0 is completed, he will be recommended for promotion to brigadier Commodore as a result!

As a result, Colonel Noel has been working with incredible enthusiasm lately, handing over the task of receiving the Celestial Dragons to his subordinate lieutenant Lieutenant Colonels and Majors, and keeping busy with all the preparations for Grove 0.

Vidal genuinely intended to groom him as the future head of Sabaody.

After all, he'll eventually be promoted and leave, so someone needs to manage the base he's worked so hard to build, right?

However, Colonel Noel's abilities are too weak, which is one of the things Vidal has been pondering recently.

To be the lord of an island, you can't be too weak.

Physical skills and swordsmanship are out of the question; Noel is too old, it's too late. But there's something called a Devil Fruit in this world, so I'm thinking about whether to take out one from my own stockpile, or get a suitable one for him in Sabaody.

On this day, Vidal stood in the base's public bathroom, in front of a wooden tub specifically for bathing, along with Nacil.

The wooden barrel was filled with a steaming, purplish-green liquid with a somewhat pungent odor.

"This is the medicinal bath I developed by combining the pharmacology of Goryeo Newcomers with a prescription for stimulating human potential. I call it the Goryeo Bone-forging Soup!" Nacil proudly puffed out her chest and laughed.

"Thank you for your hard work, but this name isn't very good," Vidal commented bluntly.

"What's wrong with it?" Nacil bit her lip and stared straight at him.

"It sounds more like a dish."

"Then what should we call it?"

"Hmm," Vidal looked at the liquid in the tube and thought for a moment, "I think the purple and blue hues on the water are beautiful, let's call it Purple Flower... Hmm, that's not good, let's call it Green Dew Formula!"

"Green Dew." Nacil repeated the word several times, then looked the man up and down strangely.

"How did you come up with such a name that sounds like our Flower Country?"

Although the Flower Country is not as closed off as the Wano Country, outsiders rarely have the opportunity to get close to them. After all, their navy is incredibly powerful; even the naval Garp the Hero couldn't challenge Chinjao!

"Really? I was just saying it offhand," Vidal replied dismissively.

Tell me about its effects.

"Well, compared to ordinary medicinal baths that require five or six years of continuous soaking to be effective, this Green Dew Formula only needs to be used once a week, and results can be seen after two years of continuous soaking. Children will see an improvement in their physical condition after two years of soaking, for example, their muscles and bones will be much stronger than the average person. Young people will see a significant improvement in their physique, and will become more sharp-witted and quick-witted. Middle-aged or elderly people will also feel much more relaxed as their bodies begin to age."

Vidal showed no impatience with Nacil's long and rambling speech; on the contrary, he listened with great interest.

"Two years? Can it be any shorter?"

"Cannot."

Nacil frowned and said, "This is already the limit. Shortening it any further will put a strain on the body and cause unnecessary stress. If it exceeds a certain limit, it could even cause a breakdown."

"Is that so? Then let me try." Vidal took two steps forward, getting closer to the wooden barrel, and then dipped his right hand into the liquid.

"What are you up to?"

Suddenly, Nacil saw a faint green light emanating from the bucket, making the flowing medicinal liquid on it sparkle. At this moment, it truly lived up to its name, 'Green Dew'.

However, Vidal was not attracted by the superficial beauty; instead, he was somewhat surprised.

He originally intended to see if Photosynthetic Energy would have any effect, since the medicinal bath was made from herbs after all.

Unexpectedly, the Photosynthetic Energy was instantly lost as soon as it appeared in the medicinal liquid!

Or rather, it was absorbed.

This piqued Vidal's interest, and he continued to release the energy within his body through his palms.

He wanted to see how much of this 'Green Dew Formula' he could absorb.

Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, half an hour passed, an hour passed. As time and energy passed, Vidal's expression became more and more serious. Beside him, Nacil was surprised to find that the purple in the potion was gradually disappearing, while the green was changing towards emerald.

Only after the entire liquid had completely turned into a translucent dark green-jade color did Vidal realize that the loss of energy had stopped, and by then, about five or six hours had passed!

"Green Dew Formula, dew as green as jade, so beautiful." Nacil stared at the medicinal liquid in the bucket, mesmerized.

"Quickly check its effects." Vidal was a man who wasn't interested in these things; he just wanted to know what this thing was good for.

"OK!"

Nacil nodded repeatedly, then extended a slender finger, dipped it in some liquid, put it in her mouth, and closed her eyes to savor the sensation.

This opened Vidal's eyes; so this is how traditional Chinese medicine assesses the efficacy of medicines?

He really did 'taste' hundreds of herbs to distinguish them—amazing!

At that moment, the woman's eyes snapped open, a glint of blue light even flashing in her pupils. "This medicinal liquid is activating my body at an unimaginable speed, and although the effect is very weak, it is indeed nourishing my internal organs, but..."

"Um?"

"But what?"

Vidal had seemed quite pleased with what he heard at first, but upon hearing the word "but," he knew it wasn't that simple.

"As I said before, things that work too quickly will put a greater strain and burden on the body." Nacil looked at Green Dew Formula with her arms crossed, her face full of professionalism and seriousness as a doctor.

"If I'm not mistaken, once someone is immersed in it, the rate at which the internal organs are activated and nourished will exceed the body's tolerance."

"In other words, it causes excruciating pain, but it can also recover quickly, so the human body gets caught in a cycle of collapse, recovery, and collapse again, until the body is strengthened both internally and externally to the point where it can withstand this kind of stimulation and no longer collapse!"

"If one's mental state hasn't completely collapsed by then, their physical condition should improve to varying degrees, depending on the individual."

Thank you so much, Zangjing Laozu, for the 1500-coin reward! Thank you, thank you!

Don't worry, everyone. This Green Dew Formula isn't too overpowered. I'll keep it under control, trust me. It's just something that can temporarily and efficiently improve a person's aptitude. The stronger the physique, the less effective it is, and the production is also very limited. Vidal can't possibly make this kind of thing every day; he'll just use it secretly among his own people!

Finally, let me offer this Green Dew Formula as a New Year's gift to everyone! I wish your whole family good health and freedom from illness in 2021. I think this is the best blessing during this special time!

See you next year!
