Chapter 2440

He had only produced a few of standard quality, and a few of good quality — most were still rough and inferior.

But the failure rate was no longer high.

Zhao Chi was confident that, after a few more practice runs and working through all the key difficult steps with those grey words, he could steadily produce excellent-quality ones.

He would also give Gu Qing and the others excellent-quality ones to eat.

So, he directly extrapolated the data for excellent quality.

Of course, it was a comprehensive enhancement, including both effect and duration.

This data should be fine.

The improved attributes weren't a direct increase either — they also had to gradually grow stronger according to the drug's activation time. Only after 15 minutes could the drug's full effect be reached.

So it had to be taken in advance.

It was still a bit troublesome.

But fortunately, the full-effect duration of excellent quality had already been shortened to 15 minutes, which wasn't long.

This drug had 2 main attributes.

One was increasing willpower, with a maximum increase of 400% — this one might be the main purpose for other users, but it was useless to Zhao Chi.

What Zhao Chi valued most was still that +600% duration.

With this duration boost, the Berserk's duration could increase by an additional 6 times, becoming 140 seconds.

That's... terrifying.

He hadn't expected it to last this long.

Gu Qing would definitely love this item.

Gu Qing and the others could accumulate about 5-7 points of energy per day, occasionally gathering more.

Zhuang Ya and Tang Ruan contributed the most, averaging over 10 points each.

Adding it all up, an average of about 50 points of Berserk energy could be gained per day.

The previous skill duration could last 20 seconds, so those 50 points of energy could last roughly 16-17 minutes in total.

If one ate this elixir.

The total duration would become 116-117 minutes — a full 100 minutes more!

Too strong!

But, calculated this way...

So after eating this elixir, the time that needed to be spent in the early morning every day actually got longer?

Uh...

It didn't matter.

These extra 100 minutes were all Berserk's active time afterward, which could be a great help in battle — still very worth it.

Additionally.

These extra 100 minutes were also all time for Gu Qing and the others to be happy.

Zhao Chi didn't need to do anything.

He just needed to stop and watch their reactions.

It was still quite interesting.

Speaking of which, that second improvement option just now was actually not bad either.

Increasing intensity could also improve efficiency — it would be nice if improvement points were more plentiful.

But this wasn't a piece of clothing, so Spider Queen Silk and Jade Armor Leather couldn't be used.

Zhao Chi also didn't know what the corresponding advanced materials for this drug were.

Hmm...

Ask Li Ruanyu later?

Why does it feel like he has so many questions to ask her?

Zhao Chi opened the required materials list again.

【Materials List】

「Common Materials」:

「1. Hemostatic Gel」

「2. Flower Demon Wing Powder」

「3. Female Night Silver Snake Venom」

「Rare Materials」:

「1. Fire Salt」

「2. Dream-Entry Herb」

The rare materials could be ignored.

Rare materials were more of a primer, or rather a catalyst, making up a very small proportion.

They also wouldn't affect the number of improvement points.

It still mainly depended on the common materials.

Raising the grade of common materials would definitely increase improvement points.

The first item was Hemostatic Gel.

It came from Light Shi Laimu, and was also the most used.

When Zhao Chi had cleared the Shi Laimu nest before, he had smashed quite a few, but basically hadn't collected this kind of cheap material.

Now, what was the superior material to replace Hemostatic Gel?

Completely clueless.

Zhao Chi really wasn't any good at pharmacy or alchemy.

Before this he'd only taken a few rough survey courses on the concepts, never actually studied the related majors in depth.

But no matter what, it was definitely a material that also had hemostatic properties.

But right now he still had no leads.

The second material was Flower Demon Wing Powder.

Flower Demon Wing Powder had many different effects, such as: sleep, poison, paralysis, dizziness, fear, drowsiness, and so on and so forth — a great many effects.

So although Flower Demons were very weak, they could still become a type of magical beast, precisely because the powder on their wings possessed a large number of restrictive abilities.

Flower Demon Wing Powder was also a very well-rounded material.

What was the higher-tier substitute?

He didn't know either…

As for the third item — a higher-tier substitute for Female Night Silver Snake venom — he was even more clueless.

And this was venom, after all.

A higher-tier substitute would also be some other kind of venom.

If he swapped it out carelessly, what he made might just end up being poison…

Then forget it.

Let's just leave it at that.

Spending an extra one or two hours a day was no big deal.

Completely acceptable.

At the very least, being with them was far more comfortable than soaking in the Carefree Spring.

When it came to this kind of material business, Li Ruanyu probably wasn't too clear on it either — after all, her specialty was still sewing, not pharmacy or alchemy.

He'll think about it later.
