"Let's not worry about that for now."
Although Shen Fei was curious about the rarity of flying Gastrea, he had no leads for the moment and gave up on it. He and Sumire Muroto then began experimenting with the Gastrea Virus. Sumire's research into the virus had reached a dead end, but Shen Fei's involvement changed everything. After working through the night, the two finally achieved preliminary results.
"It really can be done."
The next morning, Sumire remained full of energy despite having gone without sleep as she looked at the liquid in the test tube in her hand. They had finally made progress with the Gastrea Virus and created a drug that could reduce the corrosion rate. As one of the Four Sages, Sumire had a fully equipped laboratory, which saved Shen Fei quite a bit of trouble.
Once the Gastrea Virus's corrosion rate rose, it was very difficult to lower. Even the International Initiator Supervision Organization only had drugs that could slow it down, not drugs that could reduce it. Of course, if money was no object, there were people in this world who could lower the corrosion rate—but the cost was far too exorbitant for ordinary people to afford. Only the top ten or so Domain Users in the World Civilian Police organization were qualified to receive such treatment.
But Shen Fei's medicine was different. It could truly lower the corrosion rate, and it was inexpensive enough to be widely distributed.
"It's still not quite there, but I've got the basic idea. I believe I'll soon be able to make a medicine that permanently lowers the corrosion rate. Thank you, Doctor Sumire Muroto."
After working all night with Sumire, Shen Fei had gained a thorough understanding of the Gastrea Virus. All that remained was to return, continue
