At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

Han Ning could tell at a glance that the insect man soaked in the water tank was the unlucky guy who invaded the college for the first time.

His body tissue was divided into several parts and soaked in water tanks of different sizes, which looked strange.

"If you want to conduct some scientific research, you still have to do it in a real laboratory. This is just a temporary experimental location."

Dean Wu explained for Han Ning.

At this time, Teacher Fang was holding a magnifying glass, leaning over a row of strange-looking plants planted in flower pots, observing something.

When he saw the two people arriving, he put down his magnifying glass and walked towards them.

After the two sides exchanged a few words, Teacher Fang led them to a clean table in the corner of the temporary laboratory.

He took out a test tube shrouded in white mist from the small refrigerator next to the table.

A gray liquid swayed inside the test tube, taking up about a quarter of the tube's depth.

Teacher Fang gently shook the test tube and said, "Han Ning, what level has your current mental strength reached?"

"The first level limit is about to reach the second level." Han Ning glanced at his panel and didn't hide anything.

Omelette's successful evolution and Yinyi's breakthrough to the warrior level gave him a small improvement in mental power, which has now reached 93% of the first level.

"First-order limit? That's really fast..." Both Dean Wu and Teacher Fang had surprised looks on their faces when they heard this.

You know, apart from Han Ning, Lu Xiuning is the most mentally powerful person in the academy, and he is just about to enter the first level.

The surprise didn't last long. Teacher Fang took the initiative to introduce the test tube in Han Ning's hand: "This is a semi-finished product based on the Inseq tribe's method of making the spirit concentration liquid, combined with our research on some materials of the concentration liquid, to improve it." liquid'."

"Compared with the Insek tribe's version of Condensing Liquid, its effect is much weaker, the side effects are greatly reduced, and the range of materials required is also reduced, turning it into some plants that are relatively easier for us to collect. Of course, the most core The Concentrating Insect and Soul Nourishing Grass have not changed."

"To make such a weakened version of the concentration liquid, you only need to consume one-fifth of the original materials. It is more suitable for people whose mental power has not reached the first level."

Speaking of this, Teacher Fang smiled and said,

"The so-called Ningshen Liquid is actually similar to 'Chinese medicine'. It is actually a mixture of more than a dozen kinds of plants and processed in some special ways. The production method is quite backward."

After hearing this, Han Ning immediately understood the importance of the liquid in the small test tube in front of him.

Although it is a weakened version of the Condensing Liquid, it is obviously more suitable for ordinary people. If it is not widely administered to members of the academy without obvious side effects, then I believe that it will not be long before most people's mental power will be reduced. There is a qualitative leap.

"Teacher Fang, what do you mean, have you already conducted a similar 'clinical' trial?" Han Ning suddenly thought of what the latter had said to him in Teacher Fang's room, and an inexplicable thought came to his mind. possible.

Just as he finished speaking, Teacher Fang smiled: "To tell you the truth, my mental power has surpassed Teacher Lu and reached the first level."

As soon as these words came out, even Dean Wu's face became very serious: "Don't you mean to conduct experiments on three insect servants of the Blue Moth tribe for the time being, and then try to let humans take it after confirming the specific toxic and side effects? How come you..."

"It's okay, Dean, our physical fitness is not what it used to be. Even if the weakened version of the concentration liquid has certain side effects, it won't have a big impact on my body. Besides, although the insect man's body structure is similar to ours, , but after all, there are still some differences. I think it is better to directly test it than to go through a long clinical trial process, anyway, it will not die. "

Teacher Fang's words obviously did not impress Dean Wu. The latter still frowned, with a rather complicated expression on his face, and said in a deep voice:

"Fang Ming, after Han Ning goes back, I think we should sit down and have a good talk."

As a junior student, Han Ning also felt that Teacher Fang's behavior was too risky. If the modified version of the concentration liquid really had strong side effects that no one knew about, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Ahem, Dean, let's talk about this later."

When Teacher Fang saw Dean Wu's serious expression, the smile on his face couldn't help but shrink a bit. He pointed at his brain with the hand holding the test tube.

"Like Han Ning, after I broke through to the first level, I also awakened a spiritual talent."

As he spoke, the air around Teacher Fang shook slightly.

A huge tree spirit with branches covered with colorful flowers walked slowly out of the spirit beast space with heavy steps.

He plucked a tooth-white flower from the body of the tree spirit, put it into his hands and rubbed it gently:

"My mental talent is called 'Botanist'. When I touch a plant or a plant-like soul beast with my hand, I can use the fluctuations of my mental power to sense the intensity of the spiritual energy in the plant, the type of elements, and whether it contains any content that is harmful to me." Substances that are harmful or beneficial to the body.”

"When touching plant-like soul beasts, you can sense their good or evil thoughts, and use the radiated spiritual power to appease their emotions."

"媸~"

He gently stroked the dryad's trunk, and the branches and leaves above the tree's head trembled slightly, looking quite happy.

Teacher Fang also awakened his talent...

At this moment, Han Ning recalled what was recorded in Taman's insect master's notes. None of the Insek insect masters had awakened a similar 'talent' ability.

In the insect man's perception, talent seems to only exist in soul beasts with C qualifications and above.

He and Teacher Fang broke through to the first level of spiritual power, and both awakened different talents. This shows that...are humans a more advanced race than insectoids?

Moreover, talents can automatically enhance their effects as mental power increases.

Take his own mental surge talent as an example. At the first-level limit, he can already increase the size of extraordinary-level egg cakes by about two small levels.

For Yinyi, there is also a significant increase.

This botanist is more auxiliary than energetic, but auxiliary talent does not mean that he is not powerful.

"Having said that, this talent is really suitable for Teacher Fang. According to his rather special personality, I'm afraid Dean Wu won't change his mind even if he talks to him in private. If he can identify harmful factors in plants, , which will undoubtedly reduce the probability of Teacher Fang encountering danger during the experiment."

Han Ning's thoughts changed rapidly and he asked curiously,

"What about potions? Mixing more than a dozen kinds of plant juices together, and using various methods to make insect potions, can we also perceive whether they are harmful or beneficial?"

Even though one plant is harmless, when several non-toxic plants are paired with each other, just like cephalosporins paired with wine, they are likely to produce toxic substances.

"As long as it is a potion made purely from plants, it can be identified, but if it is mixed with the body tissues of other types of organisms, it cannot be identified."

Teacher Fang explained,

"So I'm talking about plant-type soul beasts, not wood-type soul beasts. My talent is only effective on plants. If it were a flesh-and-blood soul beast that controls the wood element, I would be unable to sense its goodwill or malice. "

After hearing Teacher Fang introduce the talent of botanist, Dean Wu's slightly stiff face softened slightly. He could also understand the special nature of this talent of the other teacher.

Dean Wu opened his mouth, and finally asked in a concerned tone: "Do you feel anything abnormal in your body now?"

"After taking the medicine, my brain felt like a heaviness after a hangover. However, as my mental power reached the first level, the side effects disappeared. I don't feel any obvious difference now."

Teacher Fang turned to look at the dark rain curtain outside the window.

"Compared to the side effects, the amplification effect brought by the first-level mental power is really... beyond my expectation. No wonder you, Han Ning, can see through hundreds of meters of white mist."

He withdrew his gaze and handed the test tube in his hand to Han Ning:

"Your physical fitness and mental strength are far superior to mine. This weakened version of the concentration liquid has basically no side effects on you. Give it a try and see if it can increase your mental strength."

At this time, Dean Wu coughed lightly and couldn't help but add: "Han Ning, the original intention of calling you here was not to test it..."

"I understand."

Han Ning understood that given Dean Wu's character, he would never give drugs that were still being tested to students. All he could say was... this was a bit of a coincidence.

However, after Dean Wu saw that Teacher Fang did not show any abnormality, he relaxed a lot and did not stop Han Ning from taking it.

The gray-white liquid in the test tube looks like sesame paste. Under the illumination of white energy-saving lights, there seems to be faint starlight flowing.

Han Ning did not use the panel to absorb all the spiritual energy in the test tube. Instead, he pulled off the lid and drank the liquid in the test tube.

The cold touch flows down the throat into the esophagus, and before entering the stomach, it turns into small molecules and enters the bloodstream.

The next second, Han Ning felt a slight headache, but the feeling immediately disappeared, replaced by a faint chill in his brain.

On the panel, the mental power jumped upward by about 0.2.

The side effects contained in the weakened version of the Condensing Liquid are completely insignificant to him.

0.2……

He closed his eyes and sensed it for a while, then opened his eyes, looked at the two people who were staring at him seriously, and said, "Teacher Fang, is there anything else? I feel... I'm about to break through."

"breakthrough?!"

When the two heard this, their faces showed joy.

Han Ning is currently the strongest combat force in the academy. His breakthrough in mental strength means that he can raise the strength of the entire academy to a higher level again.

Teacher Fang opened the refrigerator door, took out all the remaining 8 test tubes, inserted them into the test tube rack, and gave them to Han Ning: "The raw materials for making the weakening concentration liquid are still sufficient, please contact me if there are not enough."

Under the surprised gazes of the two people, Han Ning picked up one of the test tubes directly in front of them and poured the liquid inside into his mouth.

This time, he did not let his body absorb it. Instead, when the liquid was in his mouth, he let the panel absorb the spiritual energy inside.

[Spiritual energy +1.6]

[Spiritual energy +1.7]

[Spiritual energy +1.5]

…

8 bottles of weakening concentration liquid bring a total of 12 points of spiritual energy.

Han Ning compared the semi-finished "Concentration Liquid" in the hands of the insect servants of the Green Moth Tribe with the weakened version in his hands.

A weakened version only consumes one-fifth of the original materials, but can bring about one-third of the spiritual energy. This shows that after improvements by the teachers of the academy, the effect of the weakened concentration liquid is actually even better.

The teachers used modern scientific knowledge to optimize the original mixing method, and the results of the finished product are gratifying.

Of course, this is the result of the system completely absorbing energy, and the effect will be reduced a lot if it is applied to other people.

Exchange them all into attribute points and add them to the board.

Mental power level: Level 1 (92%→96%)

A cold feeling came from the brain, but there was still a short distance to break through the second level of mental power.

8 sticks is only 4%...it is indeed a weakened version. Han Ning blinked, still not fully satisfied.

"How about it?"

Dean Wu and Teacher Fang looked at the young students in front of them and spoke in unison.

"It's still a little short... I think we need about 20 more." Han Ning frowned and replied.

In order to ensure a breakthrough, he went out of his way to say a little more.

Teacher Fang picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and said:

"Twenty pills... isn't too much. You wait here for a while, and I'll ask Zheng Nan to make a batch of potions as soon as possible. I'll try to help you break through to the second level before evening."

"20...isn't that too much? How much stock are there currently?" Han Ning was slightly surprised.

Teacher Fang explained:

"Fortunately, with the current inventory of the college, it can produce about 100 pieces in total. Among them, the main raw materials are Condensing Insects and Soul-nurturing Grass, which have relatively sufficient reserves. Didn't you provide about 30 soul-nurturing grasses before? A plant of soul-nurturing grass can produce 3 potions.”

"However, we currently only have the ability to make weakened concentration liquid. If we want to make a better concentration liquid, it is not as simple as increasing the concentration. This involves a series of strict material ratios, so... we can't do it for the time being. Provide you with better psychoactive potions."

"The weakened version is already very good."

Han Ning actually doesn't care whether it's a weakened or enhanced version. He has a panel that can absorb 100% of the energy inside.

The location for making the weakening concentration liquid is not in this simple laboratory, but in the laboratory of the bioengineering teaching building.

There are still quite a lot of important instruments in the laboratory that cannot be moved. Several laboratories are located on the top floors and were not affected by the original flood.

"Zheng Nan, are you here?" Teacher Fang pressed the button and spoke into the intercom.

After a while, Teacher Zheng's pleasant voice came from the intercom: "What's the matter?"

"Please make 20 bottles of weakening concentration liquid immediately. There is a need here. The dean is by my side. Do you need to listen to his opinion?"

"Well, no need to disturb the dean, 20 sticks? Who are they for?"

When Teacher Zheng said this, his tone became a little nervous,

"Amin...you can't be...these medicines have not gone through clinical trials, so don't be stupid."

Amin? This title...

Han Ning rolled his eyes.

Before he could think about it, Teacher Fang explained:

"Han Ning wants to use it. His mental power is about to reach the second level. The safety of the medicine has been confirmed. I will tell you later."

"Second level...Okay, I understand, we will start making it right away."
