Chapter 12 Mutated Aberrations

Suren didn't rest at No. 88 Ginkgo Street, but instead found a random hotel to sleep.

In the evening, he received a reply from the mysterious apothecary at the "Three Muskets Tavern," agreeing to meet at the old place at ten o'clock the next morning. Da Feng Novel.

Then it was another day of searching the streets and spending the night in the arena gambling.

It's worth mentioning that the arena had been very lively these past two days.

Many important figures from the inner city seemed to have arrived in the VIP rooms on the second floor. The stakes at the casino were getting higher and higher, and the gladiatorial matches were becoming more and more bloody. The gamblers were excited, and Kai and the others felt that this was a good sign of prosperity for Green Street. The more lively it was, the more money they could collect. But Suren, who was silently watching everything by the ring, always felt that there were undercurrents beneath this unusual liveliness.

But he didn't worry unnecessarily.

For him, this was also a good sign.

The livelier the arena, the more soul fragments he harvested.

...

In the early morning, the deathmatch in the arena ended, and it was time for Suren to get off work.

He hired a few porters to move all the equipment from the basement of No. 88 Ginkgo Street.

Since he couldn't find a suitable place to live, Suren simply stopped trying and rented a basement near the shooting range for a long period. Although the new residence didn't have enough dark spiritual energy, it was quiet enough when the door was closed, and it was barely enough as a mechanical workshop and training ground. He could also go to the shooting range next door to practice shooting.

After moving, it was still early, so Suren debugged the two black technology training devices and tried them out.

The "Neuromuscular Bioelectric Stimulator" was connected to his body, and a current-like energy ran through his muscles, constantly stimulating muscle fiber tears.

The half-hour of training was also very effective.

Because Suren could accurately grasp his own body data changes, he was certain that this black technology was indeed effective.

Just in terms of muscle stimulation, training with the device connected was about three times more effective than training without it.

Then there was the "Steam-Powered Ultra-Low Temperature Physiotherapy Device." After intense exercise, the muscles are in a state of high excitement and fatigue, and they need to rest and recover in order for muscle strength, muscle endurance, and lactate threshold to increase benignly. Spending two or three minutes in an ultra-low temperature device of more than one hundred degrees below zero instantly relieved the fatigue of the skin and flesh. This also greatly improved recovery efficiency and shortened the recovery cycle.

Although the devices greatly improved the body's training effect, Suren was not satisfied.

In this world, besides black technology, the most exaggerated and direct way to increase the body's strength was "alchemy potions"!

...

At ten o'clock, Suren arrived on time at the dilapidated warehouse where he had last traded.

Because it wasn't the first time trading, the few half-grown boys pretending to be gangsters were obviously not as nervous.

Suren saw the mysterious apothecary again.

For some reason, seeing the guy's body wrapped up tightly, he suddenly realized that the words [Semi-Aberrant Human] identified by his appraisal were a little jarring.

Previously, Suren didn't have enough knowledge in this area, and he didn't understand what it meant.

But after reaping those black tower academy assistant professors' memories in the catacombs, he gained some basic knowledge in biology.

That's when he found it incredible.

Theoretically, aberration is irreversible.

Once a person undergoes aberration, they are destined to become an irrational monster.

Therefore, the "semi-aberration" situation of this mysterious apothecary named "Danny" seemed very special.

This reminded Suren of some advanced knowledge in the "Living Corpse Research Diary" he had read yesterday.

A thousand years ago, that mad warlock did succeed in extracting a "aberration suppression sample" from living experiments, making the aberration of living corpses controllable.

Although Suren wasn't sure what Danny's situation was, he felt it was very similar.

Suren was thinking about the problem, a little distracted.

At this time, the apothecary Danny took the initiative to speak: "Sir, what potion are you planning to buy this time?"

Suren said, "The [Aberration Monster Aversion Agent] you gave me last time saved my life. I plan to prepare a little more."

Although it was Reina who was saved, in a sense, it also saved the identity of "Suren."

Keeping a copy on hand might be useful in the future.

Hearing this, Danny looked a little embarrassed and said, "The main materials for that kind of potion are difficult to buy outside the city, and I don't have much of that potion on hand."

Suren also felt it was a little troublesome listening to this. Even the mentors of the Black Tower Academy didn't have this potion. "What materials do you need? Next time I go to the black market, maybe I can help you keep an eye out."

Danny said, "I need the marrow fluid of high-level aberration monsters. The higher the rank of the monster from which the material comes, the better the efficacy. The one I sold you last time was refined from the marrow fluid of a second-order silver-level anomaly."

Suren listened and asked, "Can any anomalous marrow fluid be used?"

Danny said, "Basically, yes."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."

Suren nodded and then said, "I also want to buy the [Aberration Tolerance Enhancement Potion] that you wanted to sell last time."

The [Aberration Tolerance Enhancement Potion] was prepared for the fusion of the dark gold spider implant.

The deputy dean who defected told Suren about a situation yesterday after looking at the materials. That is, if all top-notch materials are used, the finished implant will be very strong, but the "accommodation value" requirement will also be extremely high. It is estimated that at least he needs to reach a level of about 1400 dark spiritual energy before he is employed in the first order to ensure that he will not be completely aberrant. But when Suren was employed at the time, it was only about 1200.

Originally, the dean said that he could downgrade and use inferior materials.

But Suren refused this proposal.

He thought of the [Aberration Tolerance Enhancement Potion] in the hands of this apothecary, which could increase the curse characteristic tolerance value by 10-18%. If he took this potion, he should be able to fuse the dark gold implant.

...

"Yes, but I only have one left."

Danny didn't plan to sell the special potion in his hand. He wouldn't be able to sell it to others anyway.

And for the sake of the transaction, they also carried it with them.

Suren smoothly obtained the [Aberration Tolerance Enhancement Potion]. Now, all the preparations were complete.

Then he asked, "Also, I now need a body enhancement potion without side effects. The higher the level, the better."

Danny gave a suggestion: "I happen to have a [PTX Rampage Enhancement Potion] and a [Lester Generation 6 Blood Cell Enhancer]... This potion is a laboratory-level thing, not available on the market, you may not recognize it, but I can guarantee that its efficacy is definitely the best. Would you like to try it?"

Suren agreed without even seeing the potion, "Okay."

Danny thought of something else and added, "I can sell you the potion, but I still hope that you can only use it yourself and not reveal it to anyone. Otherwise... you and I will get into very big trouble."

"No problem!"

As soon as Suren heard the name of the potion, he naturally knew what the trouble was.

Because this is a real controlled substance!

He had an impression of the names of these two potions. These were special body refining potions for internal training of noble students at the Black Tower Academy, which could greatly improve training efficiency and promote muscle growth.

This belongs to the Black Tower Laboratory's "limited special supply" of advanced potions for the academy, and it is forbidden to be leaked through any channels. Once discovered, this is a serious crime that will be sent to the gallows!

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the students seem to be using "Generation 5 Potions" now. Danny is taking out "Generation 6"?

As soon as he heard the name of this potion, he could basically confirm that Danny was probably an apothecary from a top laboratory in the inner city!

In the blink of an eye, two potions were handed over.

[PTX Rampage Enhancement Potion]

Details: After taking it, it will allow your training to overload, greatly increase muscle strength during training, accelerate fatigue recovery, and provide a continuous source of explosive energy, endurance, and concentration; the effect lasts for 12-13 weeks;

[Lester Generation 6 Blood Cell Enhancer]

Details: Taking the potion continuously improves cell activity, muscle growth +60%, recovery efficiency +144%; the effect lasts for 16-18 weeks; individual physical differences, the data has a fluctuation of about 5-20%;

Suren looked at the bursting efficacy with the All-Knowing Eye, and he immediately decided to buy it: "How much?"

This efficacy is at least two or three times stronger than the best body refining potion he had seen on the black market before!

Hearing the inquiry, Danny's eyes showed some embarrassment, and said: "It's not sold on the market, I don't know how much it's worth. But these two potions don't even include research and development costs, and the material costs alone exceed 500,000. I'll give you both for 800,000."

"No problem."

Lower than the cost price, it's definitely a conscientious price.

Suren immediately paid the cash and got the two potions.

He asked again: "Can I need this kind of potion later?"

Danny looked embarrassed: "This...it's difficult. Without a laboratory-level potion room, even if you have the materials, this kind of potion cannot be refined."

"Oh."

Suren felt a little regretful.

But being able to get such advanced potions was already an unexpected surprise.

The effect of the medicine will last for several months, which is enough for him to think of other ways.

At this time, Suren said again: "I know your potions will not be sold on a large scale, but if there are any potions that need to be sold, you can contact me directly. At least I can guarantee that your information will never be leaked, and the price will satisfy you."

Ever since he learned about the situation of this mysterious apothecary, he knew that this guy should be very short of money.

After all, apothecary is also a very expensive profession. Don't look at the value of finished potions, but the materials wasted in the refining process are also very amazing. Relying solely on the petty theft of the half-grown boys around him cannot support his daily research.

After two transactions, they also established a basic trust. Hearing this, Danny nodded: "Yes."

Speaking of this, Suren thought of something and asked casually, "By the way, I went hunting in the catacombs last time and found a lot of mutated aberrations. Do you know what's going on? Many of those monsters are types I've never seen before, and they are also much more powerful than ordinary aberrations."

"This..."

Hearing this, Danny was obviously a little embarrassed. He seemed to know the reason for the matter, but he was hesitant to say it directly.

But after selling so many special potions, he also guessed that Suren must have inferred some of his origins.

Thinking about it, he just mentioned: "I heard that there was a very serious accident in the inner city laboratory a few years ago, which caused some special substances to leak into the city's sewer network, inducing biological mutation... I don't know the specific situation, but you'd better not go to the sewers for hunting."

So it was a laboratory leak?

Suren listened and nodded: "Okay."

...

Two days later, Suren went to the black market.

He got the [Eight-Armed Spider God Spear] alchemical implant as he wished.

The finished product was more perfect than expected!
