Chapter 222: Seeing Mary Again, Genius Pharmacists

Massachusetts.

MIT.

As an internationally renowned prestigious school, it is no exaggeration to say that every student here is a child of heaven.

Even if their own talent is insufficient, since they were able to get in, their family background must be extraordinary—either wealthy or noble; in short, there are no ordinary people here.

Yet, in such a school, the same things that happen in ordinary colleges also occur—jealousy and rivalry.

That's right, this is, after all, a common human trait, unrelated to academic qualifications.

"Mary, I think we can start as friends. I will let you see my sincerity."

"Sincerity? Do you mean the girlfriend you change every day?"

"That was just exploring learning, pure friendship."

"Do you believe that?"

"Say it again, it really was just pure friendship! I swear on the honor of the Bruno family!"

"I remember you don't have much status in the Bruno family, do you?"

"Enough! Genovese! I don't count for much, then what about you?"

"..."

Two typical Italian-American young men were arguing until their faces were red and their necks were thick, while many men and women around them were watching the spectacle.

As for the core of their argument, it was a young lady wearing a red dress who looked like a golden elf—it was Mary.

She looked at the two of them impatiently.

Taking advantage of them talking, she moved her feet lightly, walked straight out of their encirclement, and left.

By the time the two of them reacted, it was already too late.

"Mary?!"

Seeing that Mary had already walked far away, they could only glare at each other hatefully.

At the school gate.

Mary ran into Hailey, who was waiting outside.

At this moment, Hailey's black hair looked plain, and even her face was only ordinarily exquisite; when the two walked together, in terms of looks alone, Hailey was undoubtedly the green leaf.

But when they really walked together, the reality was not so.

Hailey walked in front with a calm expression, her eyes seeming to hide something, a temperament naturally arising, on par with Mary.

"What, surrounded by those two fools again?"

Mary rolled her eyes, "You know, yet you ask?"

"Two horny gorillas throwing stones at each other, boring."

Hailey curled her lips slightly, "Then are you saying you're a female gorilla?"

???

Mary's eyes widened, and she threw a punch, but Hailey nimbly dodged forward and ran away.

The two of them walked toward the apartment, bickering.

Approaching the apartment, the surrounding flow of people decreased significantly, especially after entering the residential complex; with security patrols, there were even fewer people walking on the road.

Only then did the two start discussing some serious business.

"Last time I added a nutrient solution to the crucible, I found it didn't work. The drawbacks of the Type II Strengthening Potion are still hard to solve. I'm now preparing to add some special agents used in the fitness industry to do variable experiments and give it a try."

"My healing potion here has been successfully developed, but the consumption is very high, and it doesn't have the possibility of assembly-line production. By the way, while making the healing potion, I also created a byproduct, a white capsule, which is similar to the little blue pill."

"Hmm? Little blue pill?!" Hailey looked at Mary in surprise, as if looking at some impure creature.

Mary rolled her eyes, "What's wrong? Do you still think I'm a little girl?"

"Tsk, a big girl now, then may I ask when you are prepared to surrender yourself to your lover?" Hailey teased.

Mary's face darkened, and she said viciously, "That depends on when he comes over. If he doesn't come, then next week I will go over myself and give him ten white capsules to drink!"

"Make him unable to get out of bed for a week!"

Hailey's eyebrows twitched, deeply shocked by Mary's "viciousness," but more so speechless, "Is this a reward or a punishment?"

"And, are you sure the one unable to get out of bed for a week will be him, and not you?"

With Louis's super-strong physique, which has been reinforced again by the Evil Body, tsk, perhaps the field will really be plowed to ruin by the ox.

Mary, however, smiled mysteriously and didn't speak.

Hailey's heart skipped a beat.

Before she could pursue the question, Mary had already trotted back into the apartment.

This is a high-end apartment, basically a place where only people with some money can afford to rent. Correspondingly, the quality of the housing here is also very good; at the very least, the soundproofing effect is excellent.

The elevator opened, and Mary casually opened the room door.

Bang!

A bundle of confetti cannons bloomed before her eyes.

Louis stood behind the door, looking at her with a smile.

Mary was stunned, then a smile appeared on her face involuntarily, and she threw herself at him, offering a kiss.

Enthusiastic and passionate.

Louis returned an equally enthusiastic kiss.

At this moment.

Hailey followed up. The two of them shared the apartment. Just as she arrived at the door, her footsteps paused. Her expression was first surprised, then calm, and then she walked in with a smile, gently closing the door.

She just leaned against the wall, watching the two of them quietly.

Five minutes later.

The ambiguous breathing gradually became rapid, and Mary's eyes were a bit dazed. Just as she was about to go further.

Louis took the initiative to stop, touched her soft, fair cheeks, and pressed his forehead against hers, "Alright."

Mary's eyes gradually cleared, and she hugged Louis, leaning against his chest without speaking.

A moment later.

Mary finally felt shy and returned to her own room.

Louis sat on the sofa, and Hailey sat over. She didn't speak either, smiling, her fingers pinched, and she handed over something that looked like a cigarette.

Louis, with the same tacit understanding, didn't speak, took it, put it in his mouth, and licked it slightly. Immediately, an astonishing sweetness bloomed on the tip of his tongue. The most critical thing was that it wasn't cloying, which was incredible.

Among the many substances in daily life, the one closest to addictive goods is actually sugar.

Humans can never resist sweetness.

Sugar can bring happiness to the human brain and at the same time bring strength to the human body. This is the reason why sugar frosting was worth its weight in gold in ancient times.

In today's modernized world, obtaining sugar is no longer difficult, but once the concentration of sugar is too high, it will cause human senses to issue a warning of cloying, and it will even directly turn into a bitter taste.

This also makes candy unable to compare to the status of addictive goods.

And now, this conclusion seems to have been broken.

Louis felt this astonishing yet non-cloying sweetness, and his tough, evolved nerves were slightly disturbed, as if in pleasure.

His eyes narrowed slightly, feeling the happiness transmitted by his nerves.

Although Louis could easily break free from it, he still wanted to feel the uniqueness of this sugar. Hmm, this feeling is probably enough to make some people with weak willpower addicted, just like internet addiction, smoking addiction, etc.

However, there were no signs of distortion to the nerves. Amazing.

And when he felt that this sugar seemed to be able to replenish physical strength in large quantities.

Louis opened his eyes abruptly.

he sighed.

"Not an addictive good, yet better than an addictive good."

"Hailey, where did this... let's call it sugar for now, where did this sugar come from?"

Hailey is different from Mary. His relationship with Hailey is more complex; it has both a bit of childhood friendship and some slight appreciation between a man and a woman, but more of it is the feeling of a superior and subordinate, similar to a capable lover-secretary?

Therefore, there is no need to reminisce with Hailey; being straightforward is the normal way of getting along between the two.

Hailey also chewed a white cigarette-shaped candy for herself, lying back on the sofa, narrowing her eyes happily.

(￣～￣) Chew!

While narrowing her eyes, she replied, "I made it."

"You know, because of my father, I have quite a bit of research in biology and chemistry, and in the past two years, I have learned some knowledge about pharmacology from Mary."

"Combining the two, I made this thing. The output is okay, not difficult; it's mainly limited by my speed."

Hailey looked relaxed.

But Louis knew that it shouldn't be that simple inside. Any research is difficult; don't some scientists who have received massive funding also fail to produce results for several years?

What's more, although Louis has provided Mary and the others with some occult books over the years, it was ultimately a drop in the bucket.

Being able to research things, what they rely on more is probably their own talent.

In fact, it was indeed not easy. This thing is a byproduct of Hailey's research into the enhanced version of the body-strengthening witchcraft potion.

The research on the enhanced version of this potion is very difficult, with many sticking points. Hailey has solved them one by one over the years, but there is still one last sticking point left, which is that its short-term consumption cannot keep up.

In order to make up for this, Hailey accidentally researched this thing.

"Amazing." Louis gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.

Successfully satisfying Hailey's vanity.

"If you have any needs, you can mention them to me. Since science is difficult to solve, trying to seek help from the mysterious is fine."

Hailey agreed deeply, and then spoke.

"According to my estimation, if it can be successful, the enhanced version of the potion can even further strengthen your body. I remember you have used the potion, right?"

Louis nodded.

"That's good. Do you have anything here that can replenish energy in a short time?"

Louis fell into deep thought.

Replenishing energy in a short time...

Blood Pill?

The Blood Pill that can be condensed after absorbing the essence and blood of nine kinds of monsters after the nine restrictions of the Blood River Bead.

Back then, he ate a Blood Pill during his breakthrough, which successfully helped him break through to the Pure Yin Realm. Now that he thinks about it, that Blood Pill actually met the requirements quite well.

However, the Blood Pill has no effect on him now that he is in the Pure Yin Realm.

After telling Hailey about the Blood Pill, Hailey's eyes lit up, "Good, that's it. How long will it take for you to get it?"

"It will take some time, and the quality of the Blood Pill depends on the monster's essence and blood, so naturally, it needs to be selected a little."

The effect of ordinary Blood Pills is naturally not very good. Louis originally planned to refine a few more high-quality Blood Pills for them to use to break through their cultivation base. Now it seems the demand is even greater.

Must urge the search speed of the base.

"Alright, by the way, how many days are you staying this time?"

"Half a month, I still have to go back once to explain some things, but I am also preparing to go to MIT for university," Louis smiled.

Bang!

The room door opened abruptly.

Mary looked at Louis with a face full of surprise.
