Dream Travel

Chapter 498 She'll definitely take a kickback.

"Follow me." Serafis led the white curtain to a base.

When she arrived here, she changed her clothes and transformed into a cold and aloof scientific researcher.

Moreover, she was extremely authoritative here. When the researchers here met Serafis, they looked nervous and didn't dare to say anything extra.

“My ‘neighbor’ is researching demonic technology, while I’m researching unique potions.”

Serafis took out a bright red potion, the color of which was almost indistinguishable from the color of her eyes.

"The Blood Demon Potion can grant the user the characteristics of a Hellish Blood Dragon for a short period of time, and its recovery ability is even stronger than that of a vampire."

"A demonic dragon? Aren't you worried about being exposed?" Bai Mu remembered what Serafis had said: she was a hybrid of a demonic dragon and a succubus.

Bai Mu was curious whether it was the Demon Blood Dragon who had slept with a succubus, or the other way around.

"Exposure? If you fail at the first step, then you can go straight into the Hellish Realm with me."

Serafis placed the vial aside; in her opinion, this thing was no less advanced than the demon technology next door.

The only drawback is the production issue; there are no Blood Dragons in reality, so some raw materials require her blood.

This results in a relatively low production volume for this type of drug.

In addition, there are other versions of the Blood Demon Potion, but those use materials from vampires and the like.

In her alternate dream world, there are vampires and the like in hell, and the Blood Dragon can hammer the vampires in hell.

"This is a ghost potion that can give the user the power of a spirit body for a short period of time, with the added benefit of ghost teleportation."

Side effects include a shortened lifespan and hair fading, but the faded hair will be replaced by new, healthy hair.

Serafis took out another bottle of potion, which was pale white and looked somewhat like... a nutritional drink?
"What about the side effects of the Blood Demon Potion?"

"There will be at least six months of thirst, but it's not a big problem."

"Why do all your products have side effects?"

“Powerful effects naturally come with stronger side effects. Side effects are what make people believe in their effectiveness. And as long as one’s constitution is strong enough, the side effects can be ignored.”

Serafis explained with a laugh that free lunches are easy to be suspicious of, and the same goes for these medicines.

Side effects are not a problem, as long as the positive effects outweigh the side effects.

The enhancement from the potion works on the weak, but for the strong it's just icing on the cake.

"Moreover, many people who have experienced these potions are reluctant to give up such power."

"You're quite frank, this stuff is really harmful!" Bai Mu stuffed the two bottles of potion into the weapon box. The side effects of this stuff were too severe, so let him bear them for now.

"This is the version for external use. The people around you can use better ones, but it will drain my energy."

Bai Mu understood what Serafis meant; this dragon succubus wanted to drain his life essence.

"Once we acquire the Demon Technology, I will have a set of equipment made with Demon Technology custom-made for your woman, the best of the best."

"I don't really care about that." Bai Mu waved his hand. He didn't deny the power of technology, but technology takes time to develop.

Even if Serafis acquires the target demon's legacy, it will still take time for him to digest the demon's technology, right?

With this back and forth, the promise might be postponed for a year or two.

With his abilities, he would have produced far more Dream Erosion items by then. Would the people around him still need potentially outdated demonic technology equipment?

Serafis's enhancement potions are worth keeping an eye on. If there are no side effects, based on her description, they seem quite good.

Demons have their own business, and it's perfectly normal for them to have side jobs.

The demons from the alternate dreams have come to reality. The environment isn't hell, and with the existence of alternate dreams, it's perfectly normal for the demons to come up with some side businesses.

However, Bai Mu felt that researching demon technology was far more advanced than what Serafis was doing with demon potions.

"How are these medicines? Can you analyze and learn how to use them?"

"You're too idealistic," Beatrice said to the white curtain, somewhat speechless.

The medicines Bai Mu asked her to test were undoubtedly high-end products, far more advanced than any other life-extending medicines he knew.

For example, these Blood Demon Potions can restore youth and grant the power of an old man to his body after use.

Although there are side effects, they are insignificant to Beatrice.

This thing can both fight and extend lifespan in a unique way.

After an aging person is rejuvenated by the drug, they will not age again when the drug's effects wear off; they will simply age naturally again.

However, according to Beatrice's analysis, the potion needs to acquire a large amount of life force to fully exert its 'life-extending' effect.

In other words, simply drinking this stuff can only relatively restore youth; the main function of the potion is to temporarily gain strength.

During the process of the potion taking effect, a large amount of life force is harvested based on the power granted by the potion before the youthful state can be stabilized and restored.

"This is the devil," Beatrice said with some envy, noting that even a single potion could conceal so many deceptive details.

For greedy people, using this thing will lead to a lot of killing... Especially for people who are about to die, once they know about its other function, how can they resist using it?

There might be other traps hidden in this potion.

The potion contains demonic power, meaning that the potion's effects may involve some unique demonic ritual.

"What about the side effects?"

"Honestly, if the side effect is just a certain period of 'blood thirst,' I don't think it's a side effect."

Beatrice said sincerely, "It's just blood thirst, it's not like I need blood to survive."

This side effect can be easily resolved.

Then there's the Ghost Potion, which Beatrice says is perfect for the snipers around Whitebeard.

This potion not only provides a form that grants immunity to a large number of physical attacks, but also allows for ghostly teleportation. Although it doesn't extend lifespan in a different way like the Blood Demon Potion, it's still quite effective at preserving life.

More importantly, the Ghost Potion can amplify mental strength.

As for the side effect of shortened lifespan, it only reduces it by a few months...

After completing the tests on the two potions, Atrist said sincerely, "Both are extremely powerful potions. If I hadn't gained knowledge of demons, I wouldn't have been able to analyze them at all."

"Hehehe, but there's one thing you've overlooked: even if these drugs have low side effects, they still have a certain degree of conversion effect."

Even if the potion eventually loses its effectiveness, the transformative effect will accumulate, and after multiple uses, the transformative effect will inevitably explode.

Lexenbra, who had been silent until now, spoke up, saying that if the original Lexenbra tried to analyze the potions himself, he definitely wouldn't have discovered them.

However, the knowledge of the nameless demon allowed Luxembla to identify the hidden problems within the potion.

"Is that so?" Beatrice was a little surprised, but then she recovered.

She is not a true demon, and her understanding of demonic power is clearly insufficient.

Even if Luxembra pointed out the hidden dangers of these potions, it cannot be denied that they are powerful demonic potions.

Unfortunately, the demon potion was not an alchemical potion, and even with a finished product in front of her, she could not create a replica.

Moreover, the raw materials for this product are also quite unique.

To put it simply, this medicine is very effective and extremely useful.

"But it's probably useless to me." Bai Mu put away the tested potion. It wasn't very effective for him, but that didn't stop him from taking it.

Maybe it will come in handy in the future.

The reason it's useless to him is naturally due to the 'Gluttony' trait granted by the Dream Eater Mushroom.

That characteristic allows whatever Bai Mu eats to be converted into a feeling of fullness as an energy reserve.

The potion provided by Serafis will most likely be converted into new energy reserves after he uses it himself.

White Curtain has already tested this; a significant portion of the alchemical potions made by Atreus were ineffective against him.

External applications are not considered ineffective, but internal applications are generally ineffective.

In response, Beatrice devised a new plan: to create alchemical potions that would not be ingested but would take effect through oral ingestion.

This eliminates the need to drink it completely, so no matter how special Bai Mu's digestive abilities are, it won't compromise the effects of the alchemical potion.

The two bottles of demon potions provided by Seraphis were also 'slow-release' type, with a short period of effect after drinking them.

Even if it's only for a few seconds, it means the medicine you drink will end up in your stomach.

Any good things that enter the White Curtain's belly will become food.

However, the part that takes effect during the process of entering the stomach can function normally, but can that part be one-tenth as effective as the original?

"Once the demon potion with fewer side effects is available, you'll need to stay outside for now. You'll need to undergo further testing afterward."

"Sigh... I'm actually not good at this." Beatrice was troubled; she really didn't want to do it.

She could be more confident in the field of alchemy, but although demon potions were potions, they were vastly different from alchemical potions.

She can detect potential problems, but it's a bit much to ask her to be absolutely certain that the medications have no substantial side effects.

It's good if there are no side effects, but what if there are some that she hasn't noticed?
This will significantly reduce her standing on the white screen...

“Hehehe, you can ask him to find you a new colleague,” Luxembla chuckled maliciously from the side.

“I will try my best to check it carefully,” Beatrice said immediately, seeing that White Curtain was genuinely interested in Lexenberg’s proposal.

She didn't really want Bai Mu to have multiple entities with attributes that were 'duplicate' with hers.

"We might not even need this, but we're just preparing it as a precaution," Bai Mu said before heading off to find Serafis.

To make a better Blood Demon Potion, you need to extract the blood of the Blood Demon Dragon from Serafis.

During the production process, Bai Mu will be responsible for Serafis's nutritional supply. Given the devil's personality, she will definitely take a kickback!
