My Way

Chapter 1033 [Sublimation Potion No. 13]

Just as Ji Lang was quietly reminiscing about his rather happy childhood,

Perhaps it was because they had nothing to do, or perhaps they wanted to find something to talk about to relieve their boredom and distract themselves from their unease.

Beside him, a teammate with whom he had a fairly good relationship, who was holding some kind of special device that looked like a tablet computer, casually asked him:
"By the way, Ji Lang, I heard your son will be one year old next week."

Why did you choose to participate in this mission at this time?

"Wouldn't it be better for you to stay home and keep your son company?"

Although some members of their team were forced to come.

Technicians with special missions, such as taking care of various precision instruments and collecting data on-site, are those who have been assigned tasks by important figures and have no choice but to come; they are simply being forced into this role.

But a mercenary with decent skills like Ji Lang can actually decide for himself what missions he wants to take on.

Therefore, he didn't need to take this risk at all; he could have chosen to take on relatively safe hunting and gathering missions.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lang remained silent for a moment before replying with a somewhat helpless expression:
"That's what I said."

"But for his future, I still have to give it my all..."

The man, somewhat puzzled, asked, "What do you mean?"

"Not long ago, a new announcement was released, stating that the [No. 13 Sublimation Potion] will be officially available for sale in a month. However, buyers must have a certain number of completed tasks and merits. This task is the perfect opportunity for me."

"Once I manage to get back alive."

"Then I only need to complete two or three more tasks that are not too difficult to gain the right to purchase one [Sublimation Potion No. 13]."

"【Sublimation Potion No. 13】?"

I heard the key words in his words.

The other person's eyes first showed some surprise, then turned into understanding:

"I see……"

"For her son's future...?"

The so-called "sublimation potion" actually refers to a special potion made from various mutated organisms and plants. Its sole function is to enhance the user's physical attributes. However, depending on the type, the strength, effects, and suitable users of the "sublimation potion" will vary.

For example, the earliest "Sublimation Agent No. 1" was even more effective than many later models, but it had a very high number of side effects.

Even the strongest and most elite soldiers would have a four-fifths mortality rate when used in this way.

Moreover, even if it is successfully used, most users will still experience various side effects in the future.

For example, an unstable mental state.

It is a special technology that was developed at great cost when human civilization faced a major crisis. It is powerful but extremely brutal.

Therefore, although it has its significance, it is not necessary.

Even if it were given away for free, not many people would dare to use that thing.

Compared to Sublimation Agent No. 1, Sublimation Agent No. 13, developed only ten years ago, is said to be only a fraction of the strength of Sublimation Agent No. 1.

However, the biggest advantage of [Sublimation Agent No. 13] is its safety!!
There is virtually no risk in using it.

It's said to have a failure rate of only 1 in 500! Even babies can use it.

Or rather, it is a specific model manufactured specifically for young children, which can greatly improve the physical condition of infants.

Not only can it enable users to grow up healthier, but it can also make them more genetically compatible with other types of [Sublimation Agents] as they grow up, thus giving them a better future.

The effects of [Sublimation Potion No. 13] and its scarcity made it an instant coveted item for powerful figures, even among ordinary nobles. For ordinary people, obtaining it was virtually impossible!

It's important to understand that since the catastrophe, the Earth's natural environment has undergone tremendous changes...

Such as various kinds of special energy radiation that are everywhere.

The special energy radiation from extraterrestrial meteorites can stimulate various life forms, causing them to mutate, while also having many negative effects on their life structure.

If evolution fails.

Those affected often suffer death, disability, or mental breakdown.

This has directly resulted in a persistently high infant mortality rate in recent decades.

Even excluding other external factors, only half of infants are able to successfully survive early childhood.

Therefore, the existence of [Sublimation Potion No. 13] is indeed extremely tempting for Ji Lang.

Once acquired, his child will not only have a higher survival rate, but will also have a brighter future due to stronger physique...

Even after learning from Ji Lang that the [No. 13 Sublimation Potion] would soon be available for purchase, that person immediately began to silently consider whether he should also exchange for one.

Do not misunderstand.

It's not that he also has children to raise.

As a bachelor, he had no family at all.

The other party simply wants to cash out.

He could exchange for [Effect Potion No. 13] and then resell it at a high price to those wealthy enough individuals who lack the purchasing privileges, making a substantial profit...

But mission counts and merits aren't easy to accumulate; they're things you have to risk your life for.

and.

Merit itself is a valuable thing.

He could exchange it for various military supplies that he himself needed but could not easily buy with regular money.

therefore.

Although reselling [Sublimation Potion No. 13] seemed like a very lucrative business, the man was still a little hesitant... especially after he realized that perhaps he should have a child himself, he became even more conflicted.

Previously.

The reason he chose to remain single was because he knew that he would most likely not be able to raise his offspring; at best, he could only rely on increasing the number of offspring to gamble on the probability. However, the appearance of the [Sublimation Potion No. 13] made him realize that raising offspring might not be so difficult... At least, he could still give it a try.

It was both a special thought that appeared automatically in his mind and a basic instinct as a living being—the instinct to reproduce and continue the race...
