Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 218 Goodbye Mary, the Genius Pharmacists

Massachusetts.

MIT.

As an internationally renowned university, it is no exaggeration to say that every student here is a prodigy.

Even if someone lacks talent, the fact that they were able to get in means they must be of considerable wealth and status; in short, there are no ordinary people here.

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

That's true; it's a common trait among human beings and has nothing to do with education level.

“Mary, I think we can start as friends. I will show you my sincerity.”

"Sincerity? You mean your girlfriend who changes every day?"

"I was just discussing things with him; it was purely a friendship."

"Do you believe it?"

"I'll say it again, it's really just pure friendship! I swear on the honor of the Bruno family!"

"I remember you didn't have much status in the Bruno family?"

"Enough! Genovese! I'm nothing, but what about you?"

"..."

Two typical Italian-American young men were arguing heatedly, their faces red and their necks bulging, while a number of men and women watched the spectacle from the sidelines.

The core of their argument was a girl in a red dress who looked like a golden elf—Mary.

She glanced at the two of them impatiently.

While the two were talking, he moved his feet lightly and directly left their encirclement, walking out of the area.

By the time the two realized what was happening, it was too late.

“Mary?!”

But seeing that Mary had already walked away, he could only glare at her resentfully.

School gate.

Mary ran into Hayley, who was waiting outside.

At this time, Hailey's black hair looked unremarkable, and even her face was just ordinary and delicate. When the two walked together, in terms of looks alone, Hailey was undoubtedly the supporting actress.

But once they actually got together, the reality was quite different.

Hailey walked ahead with a composed expression, her eyes seeming to hold something hidden, exuding an aura that was no less than Mary's.

"What, surrounded by those two idiots again?"

Mary rolled her eyes. "You already know, why ask?"

"Two gorillas in heat are throwing stones at each other. How boring."

Hailey curled her lip slightly. "So you're saying you're a female gorilla?"

???

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

The two of them playfully bickered as they walked toward the apartment.

As you approach the apartment building, the number of people in the surrounding area decreases significantly, especially after entering the residential area where security patrols reduce the number of people walking on the streets.

Only then did the two begin to discuss some serious matters.

"Last time I added a nutrient to the crucible and found that it didn't work. The drawbacks of the second type of enhancement drug are still difficult to solve. Now I'm going to add some special drugs that are used in the fitness industry to try out variable experiments."

"I have successfully developed the healing potion, but it consumes a lot of resources and cannot be mass-produced. While making the healing potion, I also created a byproduct called white capsules that are similar to the small blue pills."

"Huh? A little blue pill?!" Hailey looked at Mary in surprise, as if she were looking at some impure creature.

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

"Tsk, you're a grown woman now. So, when are you planning to offer yourself to your lover?" Hailey teased.

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

"Make sure he can't get out of bed for a week!"

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

"Besides, are you sure it will be him who won't be able to get out of bed for a week, and not you?"

With Louis's now-enhanced physique, tsk tsk, the fields will probably be ruined by oxen.

Mary smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Hailey's heart skipped a beat.

Before I could ask any further questions, Mary had already jogged back to her apartment.

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

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

boom!
A burst of fireworks exploded before our eyes.

Louis stood behind the door, smiling at her.

Mary was taken aback, then a smile involuntarily appeared on her face. She pounced on him and gave him a kiss.

Passionate and enthusiastic.

Louis returned the kiss with the same passionate fervor.

At this time.

Hailey followed. The two of them shared an apartment. As soon as they arrived at the door, they paused, their faces first showing surprise, then calming down. With a slight smile, they went inside and gently closed the door.

He leaned against the wall, quietly watching the two of them. Five minutes later.

Their ambiguous breaths gradually quickened, and Mary's eyes became somewhat unfocused, just as they were about to take things further.

Louis stopped on his own initiative, touched her soft, fair cheek, and pressed his forehead against hers. "That's enough."

Mary's eyes gradually cleared, and she hugged Louis against her chest without saying a word.

After a while.

Mary finally felt embarrassed and went back to her room.

Louis sat on the sofa, and Hayley sat down next to him. Without saying a word, she smiled and handed him something that looked like a cigarette.

Louis, as if by unspoken agreement, took it, put it in his mouth, and licked it slightly. Instantly, an amazing sweetness bloomed on his tongue. Most importantly, it wasn't cloying at all, which was incredible.

Of all the substances in our daily lives, sugar is actually the closest to something addictive.

Humans can never resist the taste of sweetness.

Sugar can bring happiness to the human brain and provide energy to the human body, which is why sugar frosting was more valuable than gold in ancient times.

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

This also makes candy incomparable to the status of addictive substances.

But now, this conclusion seems to have been broken.

Louis savored the amazing yet not cloying sweetness, and his resilient and evolved nerves were slightly agitated, as if in pleasure.

His eyes were slightly narrowed as he savored the blissful sensation emanating from his nerves.

Although Louis was able to easily break free, he still wanted to experience the peculiarities of this candy. Well, this feeling was probably enough to make some people with weak wills addicted, just like internet addiction, smoking addiction, and so on.

However, there were no signs of nerve distortion, which is amazing.

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

Louis suddenly opened his eyes.

He sighed.

"Not an addictive substance, but better than an addictive one."

"Haley, where does this... let's call it candy for now, come from?"

Unlike Mary, his relationship with Hailey was more complicated. It included a childhood friendship, some admiration between men and women, but more of a superior-subordinate relationship, similar to that of a capable lover and secretary.
Therefore, there's no need for reminiscing with Hailey; a straightforward and direct approach is the normal way for the two of them to get along.

Hailey also chewed on a white, cigarette-shaped candy, leaned back on the sofa, and happily squinted her eyes.

(￣～￣)Chew!
He squinted as he replied, "I made this."

"As you know, because of my father, I have quite a bit of knowledge about biology and chemistry, and in the last two years I have also learned some pharmacy knowledge from Mary."

"By combining the two, we were able to create this thing. The production volume is acceptable, and it's not too difficult. The main limitation is my speed."

Hailey looked relaxed.

But Louis knew that things weren't that simple. Every research project was difficult, and even some scientists who received massive funding couldn't produce results for years.

Moreover, although Louis had provided Mary and the others with some books on mysticism over the years, it was ultimately a drop in the ocean.

Their ability to make research results likely relies more on their own natural talent.

In fact, it was not easy at all. This thing was a byproduct of Hailey's research on an enhanced version of body-enhancing witchcraft potions.

Researching this enhanced version of the drug was very difficult, with many challenges. Hayley has solved them one by one over the years, but there is still one last challenge: its consumption cannot keep up in a short period of time.

Hailey accidentally discovered this thing in order to make up for this problem.

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

This successfully satisfied Hailey's vanity.

"If you need anything, just let me know. Since science can't solve it, why not try to turn to the mysterious?"

Hailey wholeheartedly agreed and immediately spoke up.

"As I predict, if it succeeds, the enhanced version of the drug could even further strengthen your body. I remember you've used the drug before, haven't you?"

Louis nodded.

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

Louis fell into deep thought.

A large amount of energy can be replenished in a short period of time...

Blood Pill?
After the Blood River Pearl is sealed with nine restrictions, it can be condensed into a Blood Pill by absorbing the essence of nine kinds of monsters.

He had taken a Blood Pill during his breakthrough, which helped him reach the Pure Yin Realm. Looking back now, that Blood Pill was quite suitable for his needs.

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

After telling Hayley about the Blood Pill, Hayley's eyes lit up. "Okay, this is it. How long will it take you to get it?"

"It will take some time, and the quality of the blood pills depends heavily on the monster's blood essence, so we naturally need to be a little selective."

Ordinary blood pills are naturally not very effective. Louis originally planned to refine a few more high-quality blood pills for them to use to break through their cultivation levels, but now it seems that the demand is even greater.

We need to urge the base to speed up the search.

"Okay, by the way, how many days will you be here this time?"

"About two weeks. I need to go back and take care of some things, but I'm also planning to attend MIT," Louis said with a smile.

boom!
The door swung open.

Mary looked at Louis with a look of surprise and delight.
