Accelerated M-level Research Project, Reply to Me!

As a Level L research assistant, Lin Qi had clearance.

However, letting those Level M researchers toil away for so long, only to accept his "ignorant questions," felt a bit excessive to Lin Qi.

He checked the time. There were still two full hours until the end of the workday.

It seemed like enough time to complete an experiment for a Level M project.

Based on his current knowledge, Lin Qi assessed that completing research on a Level M potion wouldn't be difficult.

Level M potions didn't involve any extraordinary items or rare materials; they were mostly combinations of various large drug molecules.

Especially the most common Level M human enhancement potions.

From Lin Qi's current perspective, it seemed like an endless trial-and-error process, akin to brute-force enumeration.

The materials used were mostly biological consumables and various drugs that humans had been using for over a hundred years.

"Psychic Vision seems like it could be useful," Lin Qi concluded subconsciously.

He looked up and scanned the surroundings. The Level M researchers around him trembled.

Here it comes!

It's happening again!

After a long pause, seeing that Lin Qi hadn't asked any questions, the researchers looked at him.

"I've requested a batch of materials. I aim to complete the project settlement today."

Lin Qi felt a strange confidence. With just two hours, a mere Level M potion project could be conquered.

"Huh?"

The Level M researchers were a bit bewildered.

This A-level expert in a different field had only started learning about pharmacy less than ten hours ago.

To make such a bold claim in such a short time?

This was extreme disrespect to the field of pharmacy.

They harbored resentment but dared not show it, instead resorting to flattery.

"As expected of an A-level expert."

"An A-level expert's learning ability is beyond us."

The praise continued, but Lin Qi knew that few of them spoke sincerely.

It was just them flattering their superior, a bunch of jailer lackeys.

An hour later, Laboratory 1339 was operating in an orderly fashion.

Centrifuges, mixers, and spectral monitors were all running.

The development of Level M potions required strict monitoring by various instruments.

But Lin Qi's gaze was fixed on the potion itself.

"Although Level M potions don't use any materials with extraordinary properties, and the materials themselves don't even have a trace of Spiritual Energy Particles attached."

"After the materials are mixed and processed, they gain the effect of Spiritual Energy Particles attachment."

"The potion is transforming towards the extraordinary. An Extraordinary Item? No, just an item with extraordinary attributes."

Lin Qi had never taken any potions. His Rank 1 physical fitness came entirely from digesting the Crimson Crystal.

This was Lin Qi's first time observing the potion-making process.

The effect of Spiritual Energy Particles attachment seemed to be the core of potion making.

Because of this, Lin Qi didn't even need to observe the instruments; he could judge the potion's trend.

Precisely judging the impact of adding each material on the potion's state.

This led to the group of Level M researchers being unable to understand Lin Qi's operations, unable to grasp the purpose of his various preparation steps.

"Why add antibiotics? I don't get it."

"He even added fungus."

"According to the spectral results, this potion should be ruined, but after adding the fungus, it became viable again..."

They couldn't understand, not at all.

But under Lin Qi's manipulation, the brute-force trial-and-error of a hundred materials actually produced two finished potions with different formulas.

Based on the Spiritual Energy Particles attachment, Lin Qi judged that both potions were undoubtedly Level M.

However, Lin Qi wasn't entirely sure about the effects of these two potions. Comparing the formulas with Si Li's Basic Pharmacy, the resulting potions were highly likely to be linked to human enhancement.

"That's... it's done?"

"The process records are complete, it can be replicated and mass-produced. The instrument readings indeed show it's a Level M potion."

"Now, all that's missing are application experiments to analyze the specific potion effects."

The ten M-level researchers looked at Lin Qi with complex expressions.

Is this what an A-level big shot is like?

Truly terrifying.

"The human body application experiment part will be handed over to you. This should be considered two M-level research achievements, and you can collect the corresponding bonuses."

M-level potion research achievements, while seemingly not difficult, offered high rewards from the company, almost as much as L-level.

Human enhancement potions were one of the best-selling types of potions.

All extraordinary professions involving physical enhancement, and even ordinary people wanting to improve their physical fitness, required M-level enhancement potions.

Each potion had resistance, and even different potions could develop resistance to each other.

The market's demand for M-level potion varieties had never ceased.

"Thank you, big shot!"

"As expected of an A-level big shot, your talent in potion-making is definitely stronger than in mechanics or Cybernetic Body design."

The M-level researchers began to praise him again.

This time, they were sincere, not forced by the jailer's control.

Lin Qi nodded, checking the time. Only ten minutes left until work ended.

Lin Qi prepared to utilize the top-tier talent of company employees: slacking off.

[Xiao Ai reminds you: You have received an email from the "Highest Level" secure mailbox]

An email?

Did Guangleng send another email?

Could it be another emergency meeting at midnight?

Midnight was March 5th, Saturday, not the usual Monday meeting day.

Three meetings had already been held this week, a frequency far exceeding previous times.

He opened the email and checked the content.

Seeing the email's content, Lin Qi's expression turned a bit strange.

[Arthur asked you to check the quantum-locked text communicator]

There was only one line of text. Through this email, Lin Qi seemed to see Guangleng's helpless expression.

The quantum-locked text communicator, which was the bracelet he obtained this morning, was currently lying quietly in the weapon bay of the Exoskeleton on Lin Qi's arm.

There were too many surveillance devices within the Liu Heavy Industries branch, so Lin Qi hadn't had time to retrieve it yet.

"There are still ten minutes until work ends, no rush for now."

Lin Qi thought to himself.

In the sewer on the outskirts of Greenland City.

A woman, less than 1.6 meters tall, with 40% Cybernetic Body implantation and the rest of her external parts covered in Exoskeleton, was muttering to herself.

Her voice was crisp, sounding like a squeaker.

"Reply to my message?"

"Why don't you reply?"

"I hid in that scrap Cybernetic Body recycling station for so long, exposed my tracks just to get this damned bracelet, and was chased into the sewers by those damned gangsters."

"I've been waiting since nine this morning, why hasn't Wizard replied yet?"

"Reply! Reply!"

"Ahhhhh!"

Arthur was going crazy.

The suggestion was Wizard's, but he was the one bearing the risk.

As a result, Wizard had vanished into thin air.

Guangleng's reply email clearly stated that Wizard had successfully obtained the quantum-locked text communicator.

Arthur was waiting anxiously, but had yet to receive a single word of reply.

Ten minutes later, on the first floor of the Liu Heavy Industries branch.

Lin Qi saw a familiar face again.

"What a coincidence."

"It really is a coincidence."
