From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 258 - 211 Superpower Potion_2

Lin Zeyu's eyes widened in surprise. "That harsh?"

"This thing can only be injected at noon," Lu Heng said.

"Why? Does it even pick a time?" Lin Zeyu was puzzled.

"Because trouble is bound to happen in the morning or evening."

"That stale joke…"

"I have other matters to attend to, I'm leaving," Lu Heng said as he walked out, then turned his head back and added, "Tell the Superpower Users in your company not to inject this potion. Anyone who does get fired immediately."

Lin Zeyu realized the seriousness of the matter but still didn't understand why.

He hurried a few steps and asked, "Why shouldn't this potion be used? Is there a reason?"

"I'm taking it to someone for testing now, stop asking so many questions," Lu Heng said before getting in the car and driving away.

...

In the car.

Lu Heng was contemplating whom to call, and eventually, he pulled out a card with only a phone number and dialed it.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Good evening, sir."

"Oh, Lu Heng, is there something urgent, or did you just want to chat?" Li Guining recognized his voice.

"I'll get straight to the point. I recently got my hands on a Superpower Potion, and I suspect it's the kind that Alex Austin used. I've fought against Alex Austin, and his combat power certainly increased a lot, but it seems there was a problem with his body. I'm not sure if it's due to the potion, so I thought I'd call and find out," Lu Heng finally decided to make the cautionary call.

"I haven't heard of it yet, but I'll ask around and let you know if I get an answer," Li Guining promised.

"Alright, then there's nothing else, I'll hang up," Lu Heng said, ready to end the call.

"Are we done talking already? You don't want to chat a bit longer?" Li Guining joked cheerfully.

"Uh..."

Lu Heng hadn't expected this kind of demeanor from the Battle Zone Chief of the Southern War Zone, as it was different from their last encounter.

But after a brief thought, he understood.

The last meeting was a formal encounter, whereas this call was to his personal number.

The setting was different; hence the way of talking was different too.

"Alright, you young folks never loosen up around me. Let's leave it at that then. I'll inform you if there's any news about the potion," Li Guining said, then ended the call.

...

After telling Li Guining about the matter, it was effectively reported to the government.

After ending the call, Li Guining summoned his deputy to discuss the matter.

Since the Superpower Potion had just emerged and was only circulating in certain small circles, ordinary people hadn't accessed it yet.

Only people like Lin Zeyu who could afford to spend a lot of money were able to get their hands on one.

The officials had obtained the Superpower Potion and had just begun laboratory testing.

It was still in the laboratory testing stage, so the news naturally hadn't reached the ears of leaders at Li Guining's level.

It was only because Lu Heng had the memory of his rebirth that he knew what kind of situation the flooding of this Superpower Potion would create.

Currently, the Superpower Potion hadn't appeared on a large scale and naturally hadn't been taken seriously.

However, Li Guining personally inquired about this matter, which expedited the delivery of the laboratory's test report.

...

Two days later.

Lu Heng received a call from Li Guining's deputy, who invited him to a meeting and personally arranged for a car to pick him up.

Given the circumstances, it seemed there was news about the Superpower Potion.

Lu Heng got in the car and arrived at a training base for Superpower Soldiers.

He met the Battle Zone Chief of the Southern War Zone for the second time.

The meeting place was the sofa area of an office, a spot for drinking tea and chatting.

So, this meeting wasn't as formal as the last one.

"Please sit, today I invited you to enjoy some tea, don't be formal. Let me introduce, this is Academician Chen Renxin who's in charge of testing the Superpower Potion." Li Guining picked up the purple clay teapot and filled the teacup in front of Lu Heng.

After pouring the tea, he added a reminder, "It's very hot."

Actually, for Superpower Users, even if it's a bit hot, it's not a big problem.

Lu Heng picked up the teacup, took a small sip, let the tea swirl around in his mouth, and didn't taste anything special; it was just normal tea, somewhat smooth, and also quite fragrant.

Li Guining began to discuss official matters, "Last time you called me, you mentioned the Superpower Potion. The lab has been conducting tests, and the report is out. Thinking that you specifically called about this, I brought the test report for you to see."

As he spoke, he took a report from his deputy and handed it to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng took it and slowly read through it.

Actually, from the laboratory report, there didn't seem to be anything problematic with the Superpower Potion.

After Lu Heng read for a while, Li Guining began to speak, "According to the researcher responsible for the testing, this Superpower Potion stores a type of energy very similar to Source Energy.

"This energy injected into a lab mouse allows it to exhibit a Source Energy reaction.

"The testing team believes this Superpower Potion holds promise for accelerating the leveling up of Superpower Soldiers."

Lu Heng wasn't surprised by this news.

That the Superpower Potion could become widespread definitely had a reason.

Those Power Users nurtured by consortia would all be injected with this Superpower Potion; wouldn't they test it before injecting?

Any capable person would first confirm what this Superpower Potion was, and then decide whether to inject it.

However, the Superpower Potion only became widespread after it was tested and confirmed to contain energy similar to Source Energy, and after being tested on lab mice, confirming that the potion could enhance Combat Power.

In other words, from the outside, the Superpower Potion appeared to allow humans to acquire Source-Energy-like powers externally.

Just by injecting this potion, one could level up and enhance Combat Power.

And, after laboratory testing, the conclusions supported this outcome.

This was the real reason why the Superpower Potion could become widespread.

Li Guining pondered and asked, "Comrade Lu Heng, what do you think of this potion?"

Lu Heng furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then answered, "I've encountered similar Superpower Injections in the Abyss Battlefield, which had side effects, so I suggest the laboratory conducts more thorough verification."

Li Guining nodded in agreement, "Right, our biopharmaceutical researchers say the same, we need at least three phases of human trials to determine if this potion is suitable for human injection."

He paused, then asked, "You've seen side effects from this kind of Superpower Potion? Can you tell us what they are?"

Lu Heng thought and answered, "From what I've observed, this Superpower Potion can cause addiction and suppress the body's own production of Source Energy. The result is that once you inject it, you must keep injecting it, or once you stop, your Source Energy strength will rapidly decline."

Li Guining's expression visibly changed upon hearing this response, for if this description was accurate, the Superpower Potion would be extremely dangerous.

Just the addictive nature alone was reason enough to ban it.
