Numerous Projects X New Potion

With the Data Chip Mechanical Gift by the Mechanical Tower, Kevin was able to explore and learn about many creatures in the unknown land of the Dark Continent.

The Data Chip also contains information about many organisms. After comparison and translation, Kevin can quickly understand the habits of these organisms in this unfamiliar and vast area.

After all, this is the Dark Continent.

The danger here is undeniable, even though Kevin has now hired "bodyguards" for the snakes by using his Nen ability to work as their "cook."

But that's only relatively safe.

These Resentful Eater Snake are unwilling to observe for extended periods, so it's virtually impossible for one to spend a significant amount of time observing and mapping the ecology of these creatures.

Data Chip played a very important role.

This allowed Kevin to quickly determine how to use and combine the materials from these organisms.

This has reached the point where it's a happy kind of trouble.

Because there are just too many materials.

The size of the Dark Continent is unknown, but its resources are undeniable: C-grade Material are plentiful, and B-Rank materials are readily available.

Even A-Rank materials, which are almost impossible to find in human society, can be obtained here if you're bold enough.

Kevin's current concern isn't the materials, but rather the A-Rank potion, which he simply cannot manufacture.

Because all of these A-Rank potions are special, either the suitable ingredients cannot be found, or the amount of mana needed is insufficient.

The previous month's hectic schedule had left him with no time to improve his mental capacity.

Now, they have a safe base.

Given a large quantity of materials.

What Kevin needs to do, naturally, is to release a new version of the "Nen Capacity Enhancement Potion".

He has too many projects he wants to undertake to create potions, so he needs to plan them out carefully.

There are currently several promising projects that are tempting him.

For example, the Time System in the [Timely Rain Cloud] area—although the materials are readily available and difficult to obtain, who wouldn't want time-related abilities?

However, the cost is that he needs to spend a considerable amount of time and face certain dangers, spending long periods of time exploring and understanding various creatures in areas where Timely Rain Cloud may appear at any time.

For example, the Backpack Beast and Pocket Flower that have already been found, which are Space Attribute materials, can be said to have solved their immediate problem.

Yes, it effectively solves the problem of them having too many materials that are difficult to store and carry.

Too many materials, too many projects.

With a safe base now in place, Kevin's inspiration was flowing every day.

What he needs to do now is force himself to stop thinking about too much material and take it one step at a time.

Focus your attention on what's in front of you.

For example, the new drug he's currently developing.

Using A-Rank Snake bone as the material, the aim is to create a new generation of "Nen Capacity Enhancement Potion".

The Snake Nest contained many Snake bone, the remains of Resentful Eater Snake that had reached adulthood after their Growth Stage Adult Stage had ended.

As for why these Snake bone were randomly piled up in the Snake Nest, it's naturally because they no longer served any purpose.

Why do I say that?

The transformation from a physical entity back into an energy body is precisely because it requires the physical entity to accumulate sufficient energy.

When transitioning to the next stage of growth, all the energy in one's body is naturally poured into it.

The Snake bone that were left behind were naturally no different from scrap metal.

Then why does Kevin think these Snake bone could be materials? And why do they range from C-Rank to A-Rank?

It's very simple, because the Snake bone became a container.

The significance of the middle Growth Stage of the Resentful Eater Snake is that it stores energy.

Although only Snake bone remained in the end, it also shows that the Snake bone had been transformed into a perfectly modified energy storage container.

This is something Kevin recently discovered.

After all, Snake bone are just materials; the Data Chip won't provide data analysis.

The Snake Nest is undoubtedly a high-energy area, filled with abundant qi and subtle Resentment.

They will naturally flow into the Snake bone.

The older the bone, the higher its grade.

This is why there are hierarchical levels from top to bottom.

Based on the Snake bone, there should be many adult Resentful Eater Snake here.

But I can't feel it.

Kevin didn't care; it was too sophisticated, there was no point in caring.

His New Potion was made primarily from Snake bone, which were brimming with energy.

[Gold Scale: Snake bone (50g in chunks)]

[Silver Scale: Snake berry (whole, 25g)]

[Bronze Scale: Honey juice (liquid - 15 grams)]

[Effect: After use, it can absorb and store more gas.]

Snake Berry Fruit are the kind that grow in Snake Nest. Once they solidify, they become high-energy fruits that can even burst open and release gas.

The Honey juice is interesting; it's the green sap that used to flow from the Pocket Flower Bud, and it's the main food source for Backpack Beast.

It is an absolutely pure, high-energy liquid. To be honest, it can be used as a food to replenish energy. Moreover, since it is a liquid, it is very easy to store. If placed in Flower Bud, it will even continue to ferment and concentrate like wine.

It was a pleasant surprise.

It's quite complicated to make; the Backpack Beast needs to do it themselves.

Kevin is already thinking about how to tame the Backpack Beast; it's not impossible, because these wild animals are very intelligent.

The Backpack Beast isn't very powerful.

"Isn't this potion being made a bit too much?" Melusina asked worriedly from the side.

Kevin gave him a reassuring look.

"Don't worry, Snake bone come in various sizes and qualities; I chose the perfect one."

That's why he used Snake bone as the main ingredient; it was just so thoughtful.

Depending on the era and energy level, he could easily find those levels that he was just able to create.

He gave himself a shot in the leg.

With more Nen Aura in his body, he immediately began the creation process while in this state.

This was the first time he had started making potions since arriving on the Dark Continent.

They seemed to have sensed the commotion.

Little Wang ran over, tilting his head and looking around. He even tried to touch Kevin, but Melusina stopped him.

It wasn't until an hour later, when Kevin's Nen Aura was nearing its limit, that the Alchemy Table finally stopped.

The medicine bottle was pulled out.

It was now filled with liquid.

In the soft sunlight, the liquid inside had a pale silver color, like the glow of the night sky, and it even had a shimmering, wave-like quality.

"What a beautiful potion," Melusina couldn't help but remark from the side.

Kevin laughed, "The higher the grade of the potion, the more beautiful it is."

The second A-Rank potion was created.

The effect is to absorb and store gas, which sounds straightforward, but how effective is it in practice? Only after using it will you know.

The higher the level of the potion, the more rudimentary the information provided.

Just like the [Snake's Resentment Power Potion].

It could even be said that the abilities granted by each A-Rank potion are extremely complex, and could even be learned and used as a high-level Nen ability.

After physical simulation, the cost of learning extensions is also very high.

However, since he only created one A-Rank potion, he couldn't be sure if every A-Rank potion was like this.

"Are you going to try it now?" Melusina asked quickly, seeing Kevin's eager expression.

In the past, Kevin would usually prepare the potion, restore it to its perfect state, and only use it when he was in a good mindset.

Why do you seem to be in such a hurry this time?

Upon hearing this, Kevin picked up the potion in his hand and shook it.

"Because there are so many materials. In the past, the more advanced the potion, the more cautious we were. There was no other way; every material we used was one less available, and we didn't know where to get more."

But now, it's not like Kevin is extravagant, buying one or two bottles without a second thought.

For example, Snake bone range from C-Rank to A-Rank.

There are no more C-Rank snakes than A-Rank snakes; their numbers are almost the same. This indicates that the number of Resentful Eater Snake transitioning from their Growth Stage to Adult Stage is average.

Moreover, these bones are all quite large, and the maximum size of Resentful Eater Snake Growth Stage is generally over two hundred meters.

Moreover, they are as thick as city walls, so you can imagine how big their bones are.

To be honest, if Kevin were to make the potions himself, he could make them non-stop for several years and still not use them all.

There are so many materials available, they're everywhere. We really don't need to be as stingy as before.

Upon hearing Kevin's words, Melusina slapped her forehead before realizing what he meant.

"Yes, after all, it's so dangerous here, how could it not have such a big reward?" He said with a happy smile.

Little Wang stared at the medicine, looking at it from left to right, as if he wanted it, but he didn't seem to have any desire to take it.

Simply put, she now thinks that everything Kevin creates is good.

"Get out of here, you're not getting this. Don't even think about it."

Little Wang couldn't understand Kevin's words and completely ignored him, moving closer and closer.

Bang!

Kevin threw a punch.

It smashed Little Wang's head directly into the tree trunk.

"Stop pretending with me. You understand what I mean now, don't you?"

Faced with Kevin's questioning.

Little Wang ignored the punch and swam away silently, pretending not to have heard it.

Melusina watched from the side, covering her mouth and chuckling.

"These snakes are so clever. We've only lived with them for a little over a month, and they've already learned how to communicate with us."

Hearing Melusina's exclamation, Kevin couldn't help but nod.

These snakes are truly intelligent; in terms of learning ability, they even surpass humans.

At their first meeting, they communicated with Melusina using the communication between snakes.

But at some point, Little Wang had already learned human language.

You have absolutely no idea how she deciphers the information in the language.

Kevin only recently discovered this; he may have actually learned it much earlier.

However, due to the pronunciation, Kevin couldn't understand what these Resentful Eater Snake were saying.

"Wait, how did you hit her?" Melusina suddenly realized that Kevin had just punched Little Wang, who was still in his Nen Aura stage and in Infancy.

Normal attacks cannot hit it, not even attacks using Nen Aura; otherwise, what would be the point of this Nen Aura state?

"Resentment, attacks that transform into Resentment, can suppress Nen Aura."

Ki is the energy that drives life forward, Nen ability) is something that arises from the mixture of Ki and will.

Resentment, similar to Nen ability, is simply a more extreme form of will, and is a product of intense malice mixed with other elements.

This results in this thing having a certain suppressive effect on the aura emitted by simple life forms, and it has a counteracting effect on Nen ability.

After all, it shares the same origin as Nen ability, only they belong to two different directions.

"This is a combination of several different Nen ability; the effect is quite useful, isn't it?" Kevin said with a laugh, waving his fist.

He can infuse his will into his qi according to his good or bad intentions, but in the past he only used it to play a supporting role and increase damage.

But now, with the Nen ability provided by the [Snake's Resentment Power Potion], plus the learning I've done during this time...

He can truly transform his aura into something Resentment to attack, instantly increasing its destructive power against living beings by a whole new level.

Resentment is essentially an extremely destructive form of Nen Aura.

Without Little Wang's interference.

Kevin put the medicine into Syringe and injected it into his leg.

The medicine's effects were immediate.

Kevin frowned as he experienced the effects.

Melusina observed carefully from the side, but didn't seem to notice anything special.

"How's it going?"

"Hmm... it's a very strange effect, I don't know how to describe it." After experiencing it for a moment, Kevin organized his thoughts and explained.

"This potion is quite interesting. It turned my bones into containers that can store more qi, increasing my original qi capacity by at least ten times."

That's a bit of an exaggeration, to be honest.

"Doesn't that mean your Nen power has increased tenfold?" Melusina exclaimed from the side.

Kevin's Nen power has exceeded 100,000, but since the availability of potions, his progress has slowed down considerably. Furthermore, having arrived in the Dark Continent, he has had even less time for training.

After all, the normal training method involves consuming all of your mental energy, and then gradually increasing it as it recovers.

Because the more you use up your inner energy, the more time it takes, just like exercising. It's very difficult to completely deplete your energy to the point where you can't even stand up.

Because the more you expend physical energy, the more tired you become, and the more mentally exhausted you get; your body will fight against you.

The same applies to thought.

Therefore, the effect of Kevin's potion is a shortcut, which can be described as cheating.

"No, you can't calculate it that way." Kevin shook his head.

"Nen power enhancement is a comprehensive exercise that improves both potential and manifest ki power, and the recovery speed of ki power will also increase."

The change brought about by this potion is merely an increase in the potential energy capacity; the recovery speed of the manifest energy and mental energy at the output end remains unchanged.

If we consider Nen Aura as electricity, it's equivalent to increasing the capacity of a battery.

However, the battery's power output and power input remain unchanged.

In other words, the only thing that has changed is the battery life.

Moreover, the capacity has increased tenfold, and it takes a lot of time just to charge it to a sufficient level.

The output power does not change as the battery capacity increases.

In other words, Kevin's endurance has increased tenfold, and he can now genuinely say things like, "I can keep fighting you forever."

However, his output capability remains unchanged, and he still needs to spend a lot of time recovering to fully replenish his capacity.

"However, this ability to absorb energy is quite interesting; it allows me to obtain energy from the outside world."

Normally, the recovery of mental energy is a slow process similar to the recovery of physical strength.

After trying it out, Kevin couldn't help but shake his head.

"The effect wasn't as good as I expected. After all, my body is a bit different; it's difficult for me to absorb air from the outside, and the air here is incredibly thin."

Just like humans who haven't learned Nen ability, Aki slowly evaporates, so it's also present in the air.

Such absorption is difficult because the human body is not structured that way.

Melusina habitually used her Nen ability, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Eat, eat, then store energy with Digestion Potion, and then quickly convert this energy into Nen energy through absorption within the body."

Kevin possessed all the necessary conditions, and she was fully aware of them, so her advice came very quickly.

"Good idea, indeed, if we do it this way, the absorption rate will be much faster."

Moreover, if I can quickly fill my capacity each time, it will greatly benefit my mental capacity.

Moreover, this is the Dark Continent, where the food is extremely nutritious and energy-rich.

Perfect.

Kevin has already envisioned a bright future.
