A Failure's Experience
"The Sequence Conquest should begin in seven days!"
Luo Burang watched Luo Gaogao use his kinetic energy fist in the A9 laboratory, trying to ensure that Luo Gaogao could maintain a stable performance through relentless fighting.
When Zhang Xuezhou entered carrying the suitcase, Luo Burang pointed at Luo Gaogao, indicating that the success or failure of many things would depend on what happened in seven days.
"It will start in seven days?"
The time from receiving the relevant notification to actually holding the Sequence War was less than twenty days.
With such a short timeframe, involving receiving information, registering, competing, and maintaining a stable state, it's too difficult for many people.
Some people even need two or three days to travel from their place of origin to Western Capital City. By the time they have settled down and participate, the time for the struggle for the order of precedence has arrived.
In this situation, many people don't even have the chance to participate in the competition, and being able to get the qualification to watch live is considered a sign that the Lineage has a certain level of strength.
"Time is indeed passing quickly," Luo Burang nodded. "There are advantages to being slow, as it allows our Alliance States to select the strongest seeded players. But there are also advantages to being fast. Gao Gao and the others will face less competition. I'm not worried about Gao Gao being unable to defeat his competitors, but it will be difficult for him to maintain his peak performance after participating in the gauntlet selection tournament."
"The competition for the Second Sequence should be relatively easy," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Not many people will stay at this stage; most will just be those struggling to survive!"
"The truly terrifying ones are the poor and struggling," Luo Burang said. "These people, through hard work and perseverance, will leverage every advantage afforded by their social rank and push it to its absolute limit."
"That's true!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
Zhang Xuezhou himself was a poor, long-term student in the Second Sequence, just waiting it out.
Driven by the high-grade crane blood serum, he quickly advanced to the First Sequence. However, once the special genes in his body transformed into a heron array, Zhang Xuezhou's current level of gene advancement was only comparable to that of eating black-skinned chicken.
This was a long and arduous journey for Zhang Xuezhou.
One advantage is Zhang Xuezhou's formidable combat prowess at this stage of the sequence. While he can hardly rely on Gene Fighting Technique, Zhang Xuezhou other abilities flourish.
With his ability to combine realm techniques with Mental Strengthening, he even has a certain capacity to provoke those in the Fourth Sequence and Fifth Sequence.
If Zhang Xuezhou were to participate in the battle of sequences, he was confident that his chances of winning would be at least 80%.
This is an extremely high winning rate, but it's not a battle between the Sixth Sequence and Seventh Sequence, and he doesn't have the right to stand alone.
When conditions are not right, he can only watch the opportunity slip away.
But Zhang Xuezhou was not discouraged. Fortuitous opportunity in this world are not limited to a single struggle, nor will they stop at this one matter.
He may be a spectator now, but he could very well be a contender in the future.
"Is there anything I need to prepare?" Zhang Xuezhou asked. "That batch of blood serum has been processed, and we've even made a profit of over eight million. I was thinking of asking you to finish manufacturing the second and third batches of blood serum to provide a safety net. I also want to see what your needs are so that our two laboratories can exchange resources."
"Sold out so quickly?" Luo Burang exclaimed in surprise.
"We can currently allocate 60 million to the A9 lab," Zhang Xuezhou said. "This isn't a large sum, so you'll need to use it wisely!"
"Sixty million, that's... a bit too much!"
Sixty million is a negligible sum for scientific research, but for Luo Burang, he doesn't even have a few hundred thousand yuan, let alone the funds to purchase equipment and materials.
As for Luo Gaogao's earning and profit-making level, let's not even talk about it. With the satellite communications issue, Luo Gaogao's finances are currently in deficit.
However, during the brief three-month relationship with Zhang Xuezhou, a large sum of money became available.
The B13 laboratory lacked qualifications, and its output as a basic laboratory was limited. Luo Burang knew very well that even if it produced blood serum, it would be difficult to sell such a laboratory, let alone sell it for a considerable price.
Even with high-end blood serum worth five million, Zhang Xuezhou and his team could only sell it as low-end blood serum.
Consequently, the size of this funding exceeded Luo Burang's expectations.
"Did you exchange the medication you were adjusting for Zhou Yueyan's condition?"
With just a little guessing, Luo Burang knew the source of Zhang Xuezhou's eighty biological culture media.
"We were lucky," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Professor Zhou Yueyan happened to have a need at that time, so we swapped places, which allowed us to increase the funding for the A9 laboratory from 20 million to 60 million."
"Zhou Yueyan is very calculating; she won't do business at a loss!"
"We're not at a loss either!"
"That's true!"
Only continuous output can cover subsequent additional funding, and Luo Burang had no objection to Zhang Xuezhou's allocation of cash flow.
However, Zhang Xuezhou's speed is still insufficient, and he will likely not stay in the Scarlet Alliance State for more than ten days.
Money can be used to trade for certain resources, but money cannot be immediately converted into resources that are readily available. This requires interaction with various laboratories or seeking out the source of production.
It would be very difficult to get Luo to do things well in just ten days.
"I need to buy a large amount of plasma, the more the better, regardless of the type. I need as much as I can within three days," Luo Burang said after a long pause. "I want to make a plasma mother liquor. I'll take some with me, and the rest will be left for Zhang Manqian to see if she has any future needs for blood products or artificial plasma manufacturing. This research direction can utilize these base materials!"
"This is a bit difficult, but I will try my best!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
There's still a long way to go before money can be converted into scientific research. The procurement of raw materials is something that can't be done without money, but even with money, things aren't always smooth sailing.
Despite having connections with Ren Anran and others at the Jishi Medical Center, Zhang Xuezhou did not rashly agree to the matter. Instead, he indicated that he would purchase Luo Burang's needs as quickly as possible within the next three days.
"If you have any needs for blood plasma, I can prepare a special plasma for you," Luo Burang said. "This special plasma can not only be used for transfusions in cases of severe bleeding, but also for personalized blood preparation, resulting in better blood compatibility!"
"Special blood plasma..." Zhang Xuezhou pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think it's possible that the human body, under the influence of some special stimulus, forms a different gene?"
"Gene mutations and variations have always existed." Seeing Zhang Xuezhou suddenly change the subject, Luo Burang thought for a moment and quickly nodded, saying, "It's not impossible. Even grafting can cause functional changes in certain organisms!"
"If I have a gene mutation, can these special plasmas still be used for blood drug matching?"
"We can't do a direct match, but as long as we implant your mutated maternal blood into a culture, we can achieve plasma conversion. In this case, there won't be any matching issues." Luo Burang asked curiously, "I heard Gao Gao say that you have weak genes. Don't you want to have a blood transfusion, but instead want to mutate to a different gene sequence?"
"I've had the idea to try it!"
"I did this twenty years ago. If you want to see the experience of a loser like me, you can choose from volumes twenty-two to twenty-four of my book catalog!"
Zhang Xuezhou's ideas and concepts were not particularly outlandish. Luo Burang pointed to himself, indicating that he had done similar things before, and the final result was a crushing defeat.
If Zhang Xuezhou also wants to achieve genetic mutation, Luo Burang's experience can undoubtedly serve as a reference.
