Strengthening Potion

"Aren't you in pain? Anesthesia won't work for you, so we'll have to use physical anesthesia. Don't worry, you won't die, probably."

Banner came to his side, brandishing an iron bar, his expression somewhat terrifying.

"Wait, Doctor, I can bear it." The experimental man's eyes widened in horror, and he quickly called for a halt.

"Really?" Banner stared at him, half believing and half doubting.

"Really, really."

The man nodded repeatedly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. "If that stick hit me, my brains would be flying out."

Banner hesitated for a moment, then put down the stick. Just then, the noise outside continued, so he angrily opened the door and yelled.

"Shut up! Who's making noise? I'm going to treat him last!"

Silence fell instantly outside; everyone was terrified and dared not even breathe.

Dr. Banner finished yelling, he saw an unexpected figure.

"Young Master, what brings you here?"

"Let's check on your progress with the potion research. But Banner, how long has it been since you last slept?"

Kino noticed the heavy dark circles under Banner's eyes and asked with concern.

"Sleep? I only rested for 2 hours 38 hours ago. I feel great. Even if I die, I'll be resurrected in perfect condition," Banner said nonchalantly.

Goodness!

No wonder he's been so irritable since I last saw him.

Kino shook his head helplessly and looked at the disabled person beside him.

What's going on with them?

"Young Master, they are team members recruited by Frank. Because of their physical disabilities, they are unable to train, so they are dumped here for me to experiment on."

Fearing that Kino would be disgusted by human experimentation, Banner added another explanation.

"They all volunteered, and my experiments are all conducted with safety guarantees; there is no risk of death."

The team members standing nearby also hurriedly explained.

"Young Master, Dr. Banner is right, we all volunteered."

"Yes, Young Master, we're willing to take any risks if there's a chance to recover!"

"We believe in Dr. Banner, and we believe the organization will give us a new lease on life!"

Everyone chimed in, expressing their wishes one after another, their eagerness seemingly proving that they had made all the necessary preparations.

They knew who they were working for before they even arrived—the Demon King. They were willing to do anything, even sell their souls, as long as they had a healthy body.

They had had enough of it all: their wives' betrayal, and the lover who had sworn eternal love to leave them after they were crippled, leaving only a cold, indifferent figure behind.

The parents' grief, the deep helplessness and pain in their eyes, was like a knife, piercing their hearts time and time again.

The mockery of relatives and friends, those harsh sarcastic remarks still seem to echo in my ears.

The children's disdain; the children who were once treasured now look at him with disgust and fear.

What good are their contributions to the country?

Glory and medals seem so pale and powerless in the face of a broken body; the hardships of life are not lessened in the slightest by past achievements.

Kino pressed his palm down, and the scene immediately quieted down. A friendly smile appeared on his face.

"Don't be nervous, I didn't say I disagreed with human experimentation. I understand your pain."

Believe me, you will be reborn here. As long as you work hard for me, you will have strength, life, wealth, and health.

Upon hearing Kino's words, hope shone in everyone's eyes.

"Young Master, we will definitely work hard for you and live up to your expectations."

Kino nodded in satisfaction. Although he wasn't good at PUA rhetoric, he could deliver better practical results.

"Alright, you can leave now. Banner and I have some things to discuss. This experiment was a success, and everyone will recover completely."

"Yes, Young Master."

These men gave Kino a military salute and were about to leave.

"Take the one inside with you. Once his leg has healed, have him come over here," Banner called out to them.

Immediately after hearing this, a man with half his face burned and a man missing an arm walked into the laboratory, picked up the experimental man, and left.

"Garcia, Willong, be gentle, don't hurt my little feet."

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you unhappy that I beat you by drawing lots?"

"Wait, where are you taking me? That's not the way to the dorm."

The man screamed in terror, but the two men ignored his cries and took him away.

After everyone left, Banner led Kino and Ra's al Ghul to the laboratory, eager to show off his success.

"Young Master, I have developed three different potions over the past few months."

Banner's eyes gleamed with excitement as he spoke, picking up a syringe.

"The first type is Enhancement Potion, which theoretically can increase strength by two to three times through injection. However, any higher level will result in side effects such as irritability and bloodlust."

Banner held a small white mouse, skillfully injected it with a little red medicine, and then placed it in a high-strength glass box.

There was another white mouse quietly staying in the corner, but it was noticeably larger than the newly released one.

Kino stared intently at the little white mouse's changes. It was initially restless, running back and forth in the glass box, its tiny paws scratching at the walls, making soft "squeak" sounds.

Then, its body gradually grew larger, and its originally thin body slowly became strong.

Finally, it quieted down, leaving the larger white mouse in the box undisturbed, each quietly staying in its own corner.

Dr. Banner then took another mouse, injected it with more medication than before, and placed it in a new glass box.

The white mouse didn't react at first, but after a few seconds, its body began to grow larger and larger.

Then, it became agitated, running wildly back and forth in the glass box, banging against the walls, and even gnawing at them with its sharp teeth, making shrill cries. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it looked extremely frantic.

"This mouse's strength increased by about four times, but no matter how much the dosage was increased afterward, it had no effect unless a new Elixir Formula was tested in combination."

Banner said regretfully, picking up the stun gun he had prepared beforehand and sticking it into the glass box. The crazed little white mouse was completely unaware of the approaching danger and continued to charge around frantically.

The moment the stun gun touched the mouse, a current flashed, the mouse's body convulsed a few times, then it stopped moving and died.

"I'll find the Elixir Formula, but will the new version of the potion be compatible after these potions are injected?" Kino asked.

"No problem. I made it using the Lazarus Pit as the main material. As long as the main material remains the same, there won't be much of a rejection reaction."

However, if the recipient's physical condition is too strong, then the medicine will be ineffective and can only be used on ordinary people.
