253. Chapter 253: Pain! Improvement!

Lin Ke was speechless.

After just one look at the data for the "Sublimation" potion project, he pinpointed the problem.

The issue the Medical Department faced was low yield.

34.8% of fairies, after injecting the "Sublimation" potion, did not achieve the expected enhancement in their innate abilities.

The raw materials for crafting the "Sublimation" potion are not cheap.

Without solving the yield problem, large-scale promotion cannot proceed.

After reviewing the data and materials, Lin Ke identified the crux of the issue.

He then sought out Salosaer Wizard, asking doubtfully: "Isn't this simple to solve? Why are you stuck now?"

Salosaer Wizard's face instantly donned a mask of pain.

It felt like returning to the time when he studied potion-making and alchemy potion-making under Selinn Wushi.

Those voices echoed in his ears: "This is so simple, you still don't get it?", "Hard? Not really", "Go ahead and do it, you can do it with your hands", "Don't worry, this isn't difficult at all".

Dead memories revived, nightmares resurfaced.

"Murphy, come here!"

Salosaer Wizard didn't rush to answer Lin Ke, but shouted loudly: "Call everyone from the Medical Department over, for a lesson!"

Sharing is a virtue.

Especially when enduring this kind of "good".

One should share it with others, so more people can feel the "good" of learning.

Upon hearing this, Murphy the old man knew what Salosaer Wizard was up to, and cheerfully summoned all 16 pharmacists from the Medical Department.

Seeing these poor souls about to suffer, Murphy the old man felt immense joy, preparing to leave the tent.

"Stay right here, you!"

Who would have thought Salosaer, lacking wizardly virtue, would launch a sneak attack, grabbing Murphy the old man with one arm and forcibly holding him in the tent to attend the lesson together.

"We can begin, Lin Ke."

Salosaer, relying on his superior rank and strength over Murphy the old man, suppressed him while gesturing to Lin Ke.

"Alright, let's begin the explanation."

Lin Ke ignored the two old men's heated exchange, operated a few times on the Office Smart Brain, projected two charts, and asked:

"Who can tell me, for the 34.8% of fairies whose enhancement effect does not meet expectations, which major category does their innate ability belong to?

And for the 65.2% of fairies whose enhancement effect meets expectations, which major category does their innate ability belong to?"

The answer to this question is very simple.

In research, one often encounters a window paper that breaks with a single poke.

The key is not in poking through the window paper, but in discovering this layer of window paper.

Take the discovery of graphene as an example.

Using tape to stick, then repeatedly folding and tearing open—is this action difficult?

The difficulty lies in opening this mental gap.

Lin Ke's question was like a sudden blow to the head, directly awakening everyone present, including Salosaer Wizard who was suppressing Murphy the old man.

Only to hear him mutter: "Is it really this simple?"

Lin Ke, with sharp ears, caught this and affirmed: "It really is this simple!"

The 65.2% of fairies whose enhancement effect meets expectations have their innate ability belonging to the physical body category;

The 34.8% of fairies whose enhancement effect does not meet expectations have their innate ability belonging to the spirit category.

Therefore, simply by tweaking the "Sublimation" potion's formula and splitting it into two versions, it can be done.

"Is it really this simple?"

Murphy the old man then shouted loudly: "Such a simple problem, and it's held up the Medical Department this long?"

Salosaer Wizard looked at the 16 pharmacists hanging their heads, ashamed to face people, and even felt like killing Murphy the old man.

These 16 pharmacists themselves are psychologically sensitive.

Proud of being able to become pharmacists, yet inferior due to insufficient talent, always failing to meet Selinn Wushi's expectations.

Later, they also suffered successive blows from Linke Grande, this monster two years younger than his grandson.

Maintaining a stable mindset and still being able to work normally is already quite impressive stress resistance.

Now, in front of Linke Grande, they've made a big blunder, unable to even copy homework correctly, and are feeling ashamed.

Murphy the old man, you're adding fuel to the fire—this must be intentional, right?

Salosaer Wizard lifted his arm from Murphy the old man's neck, delivered a hard elbow strike to his soft ribs, stood up, and shouted: "Since we've identified the problem, let's get moving. Design the plan, the process, collect data, verify, write the report and the large-scale promotion plan. Quick, quick, quick, don't just stand there—get moving!"

The 16 pharmacists, under Salosaer's herd-driving demeanor, hurriedly left, each going about their business.

"What are your plans next?"

Salosaer Wizard still thought Lin Ke would need some time to solve this problem.

The result……was less than three hours.

In these three hours, most of the time was spent reading materials and data.

"Actually, I have an idea I want to verify."

Lin Ke recalled the plan to originally test the "Empowerment" potion on the West District thugs, weighed his words, and said: "If we grant fairies more abilities, to compensate for shortcomings or develop strengths..."

"You say how, and we'll do it that way."

Salosaer Wizard was so excited he didn't even finish listening to Lin Ke's words before directly expressing his stance.

The deep-sea army besieging the Legion still cannot break through the defense line formed by the Annihilation Fortress and the Starship.

However, the powerful combat capability of the Annihilation Fortress and Starship requires continuous supply support.

Now the portal between the Fairy World and the Rear Camp is destroyed, and there are not enough materials to rebuild the portal.

Considering the worst-case scenario, in the later stage, we will definitely have to deploy the Abyssal Demon into the Fairy World to fight.

The Medical Department is urgently verifying the effects of the "Sublimation" potion, urgently promoting it on a large scale, just to arm the numerous fairies, so that the fairies can fight against low-level Abyssal Demons, while the Paro Sage Legion focuses on dealing with mid- and high-level Abyssal Demons.

As long as it is a means to enhance fairy combat power, try it.

Do whatever you want to play with, the fairies will absolutely not resist.

Even if there are fairies who want to resist, the Five-Race Joint Government is not to be trifled with, and will actively suppress them.

"You write the application, I will submit it upward."

Salosaer Wizard felt that Lin Ke was like his own great savior, not only solving the problem upon arrival, but also presenting him with a merit.

Murphy old man pouted his lips, speaking jealously: "Just because my Pharmacy Department is absent, otherwise, would it be your turn?"

"Hmph!"

Salosaer Wizard glanced at Murphy old man, unwilling to bother with this jealous old man.

Lin Ke also ignored these two old men who had been "fighting" for most of their lives, retrieved the relevant data on "Empowerment" fairies from the Memory Palace, and began drafting the project application.

His Portable Smart Brain, like the "Phantom Coupe", was shattered by the Annihilation Cannon.

Fortunately, there were no indecent photos or videos inside. The only private photo was taken during the period when Mo Li and Iris were fighting fiercely, unable to resist Mo Li's pleading, capturing the moment she kissed Lin Ke's cheek, as a screensaver, declaring sovereignty.

Otherwise, if there were still residual fragments on site, capable of restoring data.

Wouldn't a lifetime of fame be utterly ruined?

Thinking of Mo Li, I don't know how she is doing in the Cultivation Secret Realm.

Wizard World.

Riverside Academy, Official Wizard-level Cultivation Secret Realm.

Mo Li is enduring torment.

Lin Ke repeatedly worried about the potential hidden dangers of the "Bone-Chattering Insect" plan, and it still arrived.

"Clearly..."

Mo Li gritted her teeth tightly, enduring the gnawing pain tens of times stronger than accepting the "Bone-Chattering Insect" transformation, her eyes full of unwillingness, "Clearly it was already confirmed there were no hidden dangers... ah!!!!"

Her whole body's bones seemed to be gnawed into slag by the invisible Bone-Chattering Insect.

No matter how tightly she gritted her teeth, she could not bear it, Mo Li shouted loudly, venting some of the pain.

This disturbance naturally alarmed the seated Rosenthal, who was guarding the academy's secret realm, sitting idle awaiting death.

"Mm..."

Rosenthal's gaze penetrated the barrier of the cultivation secret realm, fell upon Mo Li, glanced at her, and let out a soft "yi": "This little girl, quite interesting."

As one of the most elite among all Level 6 Sages in the Wizard World, Rosenthal's knowledge is extremely broad.

With just one glance, Rosenthal saw through all of Mo Li's conditions.

Including the reason why Selinn Wizard and Lin Ke could never find out for the significant improvement in Mo Li's wizard aptitude.

"Dare to use the 'God-Eater Insect' as experimental material, are today's young wizards this bold?"

Rosenthal's mouth corner held a hint of a smile, expressing his sentiment.

The "God-Eater Insect" is the natural enemy of the deities of the God World, originally specially created by the royal family of the Zerg World to deal with the God World as a weapon!

However, as the Zerg World was shattered by the coalition led by the Wizard World, the method of cultivating the "God-Eater Insect" was lost.

Through evolution, the "God-Eater Insect" actively degenerated into the "Bone-Chattering Insect" for survival.

By a twist of fate, the two "Bone-Chattering Insects" specially cultivated by Selinn Wizard were awakened with a trace of the "God-Eater Insect" bloodline.

In the newly regenerated bone marrow of Mo Li, a worm egg was left behind.

For this worm egg to successfully hatch, it requires a great deal of energy nourishment.

The ambient magical power in the Wizard World is extremely rich, and the worm egg exerts the innate ability of the "God-Eater Insect", continuously absorbing ambient magical power.

Fatty meat passing through the hand can leave oil.

As the host of the "God-Eater Insect" worm egg, Mo Li naturally also gains some benefits.

Manifested as, Mo Li's improvement speed is faster than that of the Fifth-Rank Lower Aptitude Benevolent Brother Group.

The gift of fate has long secretly marked its price.

Now, it is time for Mo Li to pay the price!

The spiritual power and magical power in the Cultivation Secret Realm are replenished as used, endless.

After the "God-Eater Insect" worm egg enters the Cultivation Secret Realm, it is like a mouse falling into an oil tank, how could it still resist?

Immediately, it joyfully roams throughout Mo Li's entire skeleton, continuously absorbing magical power.

This is the source of the pain Mo Li feels.

Even if she can endure the pain, she cannot resist the gnawing after the "God-Eater Insect" is born.

"Consider yourself lucky, little girl."

Rosenthal watched Mo Li persist in pain for half an hour, constantly enduring the pain, seeking self-rescue methods, and was moved by Mo Li's strong will to survive.

Once again, from extreme stillness to movement, he planned to take action.

The last time he took action, the effect was good, disrupting Waters' annoying guy's arrangement.

For this, Rosenthal was happy for several days.

After thinking, Rosenthal did not directly crush the soon-to-be-born "God-Eater Insect", but instead lightly tapped, inserting the method of transferring to Beast-Taming Wizard into Mo Li's Sea of Consciousness.

Like a drowning person grabbing the last straw, at the moment of life-threatening crisis, Mo Li no longer had the leisure to consider how this method came about.

Immediately, she mustered her spirit and began to transfer according to this method.

The first step is to break the rune structure of the spherical meditation method engraved with the Life-Bound Spell, and feed it to the "God-Eater Insect" worm egg;

The second step is to, at the very moment the "God-Eater Insect" hatches, drip in heart's blood, mixed with mental power imprint and magic power frequency, so that the "God-Eater Insect" recognizes her as master and becomes a companion spirit beast;

The third step is to remodel the Sea of Consciousness, providing a suitable environment for the "God-Eater Insect" to reside.

Mo Li, with her tenacious will, successfully withstood the backlash from her Life-Bound Spell being broken.

Fortunately, being in the Cultivation Secret Realm, her Life Force could be replenished at any time, preventing her from fainting due to severe injury.

The "God-Eater Insect" egg "smelled" the delicious scent, and without Mo Li taking any action, it directly entered her Sea of Consciousness in a way she could not understand, happily gnawing on the fragments of the spherical meditation method's rune structure.

Perhaps because the egg had been in Mo Li's bone marrow for a long time, the second step was automatically completed, requiring no further concern from Mo Li.

Feeling the blood-connected bond with the yet-unborn "God-Eater Insect" hatchling, Mo Li couldn't help but burst out laughing with a puff.

Rosenthal, who had been constantly observing Mo Li, was bewildered by her laughter.

Mo Li herself also found it bewildering; thinking of a silkworm-baby-like pure white and soft worm calling Lin Ke father, she just wanted to laugh.

Sensing the joy of her "mother" and "master," the "God-Eater Insect" hatchling, which was gnawing on rune structure fragments, also jumped up happily.

In the Sea of Consciousness, a smooth, jade-like round ball trembled happily in all directions.

Gathering her spirit, Mo Li followed the transfer cultivation method to communicate with the "God-Eater Insect" hatchling, intending to remodel the Sea of Consciousness environment.

Who would have thought that as soon as Mo Li made such an inquiry, the "God-Eater Insect" hatchling burst out of its shell with a splash, quickly gnawed off the shell fragments, and then, on its own, built a nest in the exact center of her Sea of Consciousness and settled there.

Afterwards, the "God-Eater Insect" hatchling conveyed to Mo Li meanings like "I'm full," "I'm stuffed," and lay by itself in the nest, truly like a silkworm baby, spitting silk to form a cocoon and wrapping itself up.

"Is this the first evolution? It seems the bloodline concentration is very high."

Seeing this, Rosenthal muttered to himself, then immediately pointed a finger and transmitted a method for cultivating "God-Eater Insects" to Mo Li.

As the mortal enemy of the God World, how could the Wizard World possibly not study the "God-Eater Insect," a weapon that can be used against those deities?

However, the "God-Eater Insect" is a double-edged sword, prone to losing control, so it has not been bred on a large scale.

The Wizard World still retains many methods for breeding "God-Eater Insects," especially among the Beast-Taming Wizards.

As a top-tier Level 6 Sage, Rosenthal had, in his early years, gathered a great deal of materials and knowledge in order to advance to Level 7 Great Sage.

Just a single method for breeding "God-Eater Insects"—piece of cake.

At this moment, Mo Li had already calmed down, knowing she had narrowly escaped death this time, turning misfortune into blessing, and had obtained a supreme opportunity similar to the one Lin Ke once had.

She immediately rose, and with utmost respect, bowed ninety degrees in all four directions to express her gratitude.

She merely bowed in silence, without saying any polite phrases like "great kindness needs no thanks" or "I will surely repay if given the chance."

After the aftereffects of the intense pain subsided and she adjusted her mood, Mo Li continued her arduous cultivation.

Opportunities can be encountered but not sought; everything still relies on oneself.

Drop by drop of sweat, drop by drop of gain.

Little by little accumulates into much.

Raising a silkworm baby—isn't that fine?
