High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 109 The Dragon Blood Tree, Thundercloud Fruit, and Cultivation Plan!

In any case, the Blood Cleansing Powder was finally successfully produced.

This pot contains about two liters, which can be divided into 20 packets.

The production cost would be quite high.

The cost of the medicinal herbs is approximately 80000 Federal Credits, while the Spirit Fire is made by burning special wood and costs 20000 Federal Credits.

That means one pack costs five thousand federal dollars! Ordinary people simply can't afford it.

The ingredients used vary depending on the severity of leukemia infection.

The number of potential infected individuals is currently unknown, but if we assume 1000 people and each person receives one package, the total number would be 500 million.

The expenses related to extraordinary events are all covered by the government, which is quite good and is also part of the extraordinary economic system.

But Wang Wen didn't care about such a small amount of money at all!

Compared to the hundreds of millions spent on research, this Blood Cleansing Powder already has a formula, which is just too good to be true, right?

"Haha~ Looks like 50 million was too low. I'll apply for funding this month and give you the rest."

"How much is a little extra?"

"Double it up, one hundred million!"

"Can't we offer double the amount?"

"Hey! You've got quite the appetite! But it's not impossible, only if we see how serious the black blood case you're in charge of really is. Once the blood-purifying powder plays a more significant role in the black blood case, the higher-ups will naturally approve more funding."

"That's not bad! Next time, I'll try to save up and buy out the entire auction house."

Speaking of this, Bai Yu thought of his Dragon Blood Tree, which was still gathering dust, and blinked, saying, "Professor Wang, what about me?"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Upon hearing Bai Yu suddenly address him as "professor," Wang Wen knew he must be up to no good, so he quickly interrupted.

"You brat, what do you want from me now?"

"This blood-cleansing powder is a gift from me, isn't it? Tell me, isn't that a big contribution?"

Wang Wen smelled the strong medicinal aroma, thought for a moment, and said, "It's not bad, is it? But it's not like I was fighting for it. It's just that you came to me because you're in charge of the Black Blood Case."

We can't say anything definitive, what if this brat isn't hiding something?

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu exclaimed, "That old guy!"

He immediately sighed and said, "Sigh, when you gave me your bank card last time, you also talked to me about spirit plants, telling me to start some businesses in advance. I was very touched and became a little interested in it, so I spent about 30 to 80 million at the auction house to buy a dragon blood tree, thinking of giving it to you, Professor, to help me cultivate it."

Upon hearing this, how could Wang Wen remain calm?

He thought that others were ignorant, talking nonsense, and bragging when they mentioned dragon blood trees, but Bai Yu was the one who said it.

"Look at our relationship, we're practically friends despite the age gap, right? We call each other brothers. What's yours is mine. Come on, let me take good care of this dragon blood tree!"

"Professor Wang, I'm very happy that you can help me cultivate the dragon blood tree. But I didn't quite like your attitude just now."

Wang Wen immediately said, "How about this? I've decided on the super-double deal right now. Two hundred million, that's enough for you, kid, right?"

"Why are you being so polite? I originally thought it would be most suitable to give this dragon blood tree to you. Of course, the fruit is mine, and the tree is yours."

Professor Wang Wen's face darkened. Was this some kind of gift—a dragon blood tree?

Isn't this making me spend money and time carefully cultivating you, only to have you reap all the rewards in the end?

But this is a dragon blood tree! Just the fact that it's planted here could inspire several major academic papers.

Isn't this delicious?

"I should keep at least one or two, maybe three pieces of fruit, right?"

"Okay! Let's see how many fruits it bears. I'll bring the tree over tomorrow."

"Yes! As soon as possible, as soon as possible!"

Professor Feng, standing to the side, watched the old man and the young man struggling to the extreme, somewhat speechless.

These two are really something.

After finishing her conversation, Bai Yu thought of Professor Feng beside her and felt that she shouldn't neglect him like this.

It makes you seem petty and vindictive.

I am a prime example of someone who can be magnanimous!

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "By the way, Professor Feng said he was coming to the city to prepare for new research. How's it going?"

Professor Feng smiled when he learned why Bai Yu had suddenly sought him out for a chat.

He replied seriously, "Recently, a new type of unstable lightning-attribute ore has been discovered, which is temporarily referred to in the industry as thunderstorm stone."

"Because the internal lightning properties of this type of stone are unstable and not very useful, I plan to use it to research super grenades."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu said to himself that he actually quite liked Professor Feng's research direction.

Violent aesthetics!

He really liked this type of extraordinary weapon.

Modern firepower may be one of the key factors for Earth to turn the tide.

He laughed and said, "Haha, once Professor Feng has finished his research, give me a few super thunderstorm grenades, preferably as big as stone pillars. I'm going to blast some fish."

"Okay! No problem."

"By the way, when does Professor Feng plan to return to Thunder Labs?"

He was thinking about the Bloodstained Blood Research Institute.

Wang Wen, standing nearby, interjected, "You don't like Lao Feng, but you don't have to be so direct about it, do you?"

Bai Yu's face darkened, and he could only say, "The appearance of so many blood monsters near Professor Feng is clearly abnormal. I'm afraid that given Professor Feng's carelessness, something bad might happen. What if I end up eating at the banquet again?"

Professor Feng felt that this explanation sounded like it was mocking him.

And then I thought about the students again.

But he kept his emotions to himself. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Maybe around the middle of the month."

"Then I wish Professor Feng's super grenade a great success!"

After a brief chat, the group ordered a large takeout meal, set the plates, and ate dinner in a room in the laboratory building.

Today is a day of double the good news, and everyone is in a good mood.

After finishing the meal, Professor Feng received a phone call, seemingly about an official order related to the Thunder Gun, so he naturally made the first move.

Seeing Professor Feng leave, Professor Wang Wen smiled at Bai Yu, winking and making faces, as if he was hinting at something.

Bai Yu looked puzzled: "You and Professor Feng don't get along?"

"You brat! Old Feng and I have been friends for over twenty years, since our student days."

"So what does that smile mean?"

"You haven't forgotten that Blood Demon, have you?"

"Oh, I see! But I think there's no rush. You already have the Blood Cleansing Powder, so you can study it for a long time."

That's what he said, but Bai Yu's real intention was to gain benefits.

He is not suited to be in the public eye.

But surely if we hand over this intelligence, we can't expect to get nothing in return, right?

But now that so much money has been asked, it seems Professor Wang Wen doesn't have anything to offer in return.

Anyway, let's try fishing first.

"Not in a hurry? Do you even realize how serious this is?"

"I know, I'm just saying..."

Bai Yu rubbed his index finger and thumb together.

Wang Wen smiled.

"Let's talk money! That's easy. But you don't really need that much money, do you?"

"But it can't be done for free, can it?"

"That's true."

After careful consideration, Wang Wen realized that this matter was quite important, as it involved hidden dangers lurking in the shadows, and it had to be eliminated as soon as possible!

Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't have given them samples and made sure the researchers didn't know each other.

You can't mess around with Bai Yu like this!

But this little rascal still needs to be fed, since he doesn't have a big appetite anyway.

Thinking of this, Wang Wen's eyes lit up, and he said, "I heard that the power you inherited is from the ancient god Zhang Jiao, which is of the lightning element. And at the auction, you were able to unleash strength comparable to the Spirit Sea Realm in a short period of time, right?"

"That was it! That night, I was like Thor descending to earth, slaughtering everyone in my path."

"Haha, I did hear some news. I happen to be in the research circle and have quite a few friends. One of them is a friend whose main research area is creating the birth environment for spiritual fruits of heaven and earth."

"For example, the fourth-grade top-quality spiritual fruit - the Crimson Flame Serpent King Fruit, requires soil above the lava layer to grow, and also the essence blood of the Crimson Flame Serpent."

Bai Yu was still quite looking forward to this kind of treasure that was geared towards cultivating immortality.

He started cultivating quite late.

It's been 17 years since the spiritual energy was revived!

To quickly improve one's strength, this kind of treasure is essential.

"And then? Is there anything I want?"

"Of course! Thundercloud Fruit is something that can be eaten by those in the Qi Gathering Realm. There are even higher-quality fruits, but you can't handle them."

"No, no, no! Don't underestimate me. Maybe I can even eat it if I'm at the Spirit Sea Realm. Even if I can't use it, it's good to get it in advance."

"Okay, I'll go and make the contact for you."

"But...it doesn't feel right."

Wang Wen's smile froze slightly, but he quickly recovered and said, "By the way, I also know a professor who tames spirit beasts."

"Professor Lin Chenghua?"

"Oh? You know him?"

"Yeah, I saw it once when I was dealing with that catfish demon in Cloud Lake. Besides the catfish demon, I also have a pretty good spirit pet now. In a couple of days, I should be able to get an even stronger one."

Professor Wang Wen fell silent.

He suddenly realized that this kid's abilities were somewhat beyond his expectations.

It has a small appetite, but it lacks few things, so it's hard to satisfy it!

"Don't rush, let me think about it some more."

He thought about it carefully and realized he really didn't know what would suit Bai Yu.

He could only say, "Oh, right! That old guy who studies the spiritual fruits of heaven and earth has another ability: he can arrange the resources needed for cultivation according to different systems. I can ask him to tailor a cultivation plan that suits your cultivation path."

"Think about it, with your talent, if you also have a perfect cultivation plan and all kinds of rare and precious materials, you'll reach Qi Gathering in one year, Spiritual Essence in two years, Spiritual Sea in three years, and Heavenly Origin in five years!"

Bai Yu rolled her eyes. Why did this line of reasoning sound so familiar?

That's how I convinced myself to take the postgraduate entrance exam back then.

"Are you just making empty promises to me?"

"How could that be! With your charisma, talent, and gift, how could you not do this?"

Bai Yu: This old guy has mind-reading abilities, doesn't he?

"Hmm, what you said doesn't seem to make any mistakes."

He knew when to stop, mainly because he really needed to hand over the Blood Demon Scroll.

Keeping it in your possession won't be very effective.

One copy is for Director Yang, and the other is for Professor Wang Wen. Who knows, Professor Wang Wen might come up with a different approach.

"Then it's settled. The thing to counter the Blood Demon is a Western magic scroll, and the required materials are... Do you have any here? If so, I'll make one on the spot. As for the inscription pattern, that's up to your skill."

"The materials are definitely available!"

After saying that, Professor Wang Wen went to search the warehouse, thinking to himself, "This matter depends on magic scrolls; my talisman-making skills are, well, a bit...questionable."

Bai Yu then began to consider it.

Director Yang's side has already gotten busy with the Blood Demon matter.

It's normal that Professor Wang Wen, who isn't very skilled in inscription, didn't get the leftover scrap paper from my work.

Giving a portion of the Blood Demon to Wang Wen was definitely to allow him to study the nature of this creature.

I wonder what the outcome will be!

"I have a feeling that what I'm doing here might be a bit like a scam, doesn't it?"

"However, defrauding Professor Wang Wen isn't a big deal! All I got were some Thundercloud Fruit and a cultivation plan. Besides, I haven't even delivered on my promise yet."

A short while later, Professor Wang Wen brought over the materials.

Looking at the prepared materials, Bai Yu thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, the magic scroll I made was taken by Director Yang. He's probably studying it too."

"Huh? So I wasn't the first one to get it? Where's my belt?!"

"Should I apply for a refund if I'm a minor?"

"Pah!"

Judging from Professor Wang Wen's reaction, he wasn't particularly angry.

Upon learning that it was a magic scroll, he realized it was going to be a bit tricky.

And it's expected that the higher-ups will definitely ask Bai Yu for it.

As for the promised Thundercloud Fruit and the accompanying cultivation plan, it was something he prepared for Bai Yu when he talked about it, thinking that Bai Yu indeed had talent in cultivation and should not be wasted.

After thinking for a moment, Professor Wang Wen said, "It's alright, it's not my area of ​​expertise anyway. The credit for the Blood-Clearing Powder is already enough."

"However, you'll have to make me a few magic scrolls. I'd like to see how your stuff counters that strange vampire monster; it might be helpful for my future research."

He had already tried it today; through blood and some materials that replenish blood and qi, he was able to induce the proliferation of that part of the Blood Demon's tissue.

Just like a starfish, a single tentacle can grow into a new starfish.

If this continues to spread, things will get really out of control!

"Alright! That's definitely no problem. And I can even throw in two free pieces of information about the Blood Demon."

"Oh? What information?"

"The Blood Demon's abilities. The first ability is to control the host's behavior and emotions, and it can also emit a special substance. The second ability is evolution."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wen frowned deeply.

He could see some clues about the second evolutionary ability.

This is just the first one!

His brow relaxed, and he said in a good mood, "These two pieces of information are quite good. I will arrange the Thundercloud Fruit and the cultivation plan for you as soon as possible."

"OK!"

Bai Yu immediately began making the scroll, and this time his skill level was much higher.

After two hours of work, Professor Wang Wen watched intently from the side.

In the end, Bai Yu used nine sets of materials to successfully create one.

"It's done!"

"I thought you could do everything, but it turns out you need to practice too."

"Of course! Otherwise, I would have just used the Great Thunder Palm to sweep everything away and become the boss."

Just as Bai Yu finished speaking, the phone rang.

I checked the time.

20:44

The captain called.

"Hey, Captain, what's wrong?"

"How did your conversation with the two professors go? There are four patients with leukemia at Xiangya Hospital, and their condition doesn't seem very good. You might need to come over."
