Chapter 54: Gene Potion
"The boss trusts me too much..."
Watching Su Yuan leave the laboratory, Sun Quanli felt immense pressure in his heart.
But at the same time, he was filled with motivation and immediately threw himself into studying the research materials.
Researching gravitational physics achievements that were ahead of their time wasn't just about working for Su Yuan—it was also Sun Quanli's own dream.
......
Outside the laboratory.
Su Yuan didn't return to Jinshan Villa District, but instead headed west.
After becoming a Level 2 lifeform, Su Yuan's absorption rate of external energy had significantly increased.
For example, at this moment.
When Su Yuan absorbed light at full capacity, it would cause the area several meters around him to plunge into darkness, with all light being completely absorbed and devoured."Absorbing cosmic energy is the cultivation method chosen by most cultivators throughout the universe."
Su Yuan thought silently to himself.
The biggest advantage of this approach was saving money, since cosmic energy was limitless—it just depended on how much you could absorb.
But for Su Yuan, this cultivation method was too inefficient.
If he relied solely on absorbing cosmic energy to advance from Level 2 to Level 3 lifeform,
it would probably take ten or twenty years.
And this was already based on the superiority of the six-dimensional cultivation method, which far surpassed other cultivation methods in absorbing external energy.
......
"My next cultivation plan..."
Su Yuan's mind conjured the cultivation plan that the gray mirror had formulated for him during the Level 2 lifeform stage.
To advance from Level 2 to Level 3 lifeform, Su Yuan needed to undergo thirty cultivation sessions, with one session every four days.
This meant that, if everything went smoothly,
Su Yuan would reach the Level 3 lifeform stage in one hundred and twenty days, or four months.
Of course, achieving the goal of becoming a Level 3 lifeform in four months required an enormous amount of cultivation resources.
However, Su Yuan had already gathered all these cultivation resources over ten days ago. Collecting resources for the next stage in advance during the Level 1 lifeform phase was also part of the cultivation plan provided by the gray mirror.
......
As Su Yuan was lost in thought, he arrived at a remote hillside.
"Beep—" The moment Su Yuan arrived, as if he had passed some verification, the wall opened to reveal a silver alloy door.
Pushing the door open, Su Yuan entered Laboratory 4.
During this period, Su Yuan had built thirteen laboratories near Magic City.
Among them, Laboratory 1 was responsible for researching unlimited communication technology, and Laboratory 7 was responsible for gravity chamber research.
As for the current Laboratory 4, it was built by Su Yuan specifically for researching human modification technology.
Simply put, Laboratory 4 was Su Yuan's dedicated facility to compete with the artificial humans created by the Truth Society.
Of course.
The human modification technology Su Yuan employed was infinitely more advanced than the Truth Society's artificial human technology.
The latter was just garbage technology that mainstream cosmic forces had discarded for countless years.
The artificial humans it produced not only consumed excessive resources but also had numerous defects.
......
Su Yuan's purpose in building Laboratory 4 was naturally to cultivate his subordinates.
After all, he couldn't become a Level 5 or Level 6 lifeform himself while his subordinates remained ordinary people, could he?
As for grand sorcerers like Aromu... their numbers were still too few, or rather, the number of people on Blue Star who had become Level 1 lifeforms through their own efforts was countable.
Therefore, Su Yuan needed to cultivate them himself.
Moreover, cultivating sufficiently powerful subordinates would also aid Su Yuan's future plans.
......
Soon.
Su Yuan reached the depths of Laboratory 4.
"Boss." A person wearing a mask and a white lab coat immediately approached.
"Elder Zhao." Su Yuan nodded slightly toward him.
Elder Zhao's full name was Zhao Yongchun, an expert in the field of life sciences who was an overseas Chinese in Europe.
Originally, Zhao Yongchun had worked for a European research base.
However, some time ago, he faced suppression from his superiors, and all his research projects were abandoned.
In anger, Zhao Yongchun chose to return to his home country.
Shortly after returning to Xia Country, he received Su Yuan's invitation to join Laboratory 4.
Of course, before joining Laboratory 4,
Zhao Yongchun also signed a five-year work contract with Su Yuan.
For the next five years, without Su Yuan's permission, Zhao Yongchun could not leave Laboratory 4.
......
"Boss, during this period, the A-grade gene potion..."
Zhao Yongchun reported his research progress with great enthusiasm.
At Su Yuan's facility, Zhao Yongchun received unprecedented respect and also gained access to various incredible research materials.
"Mmm, I understand."
Su Yuan nodded slightly.
In reality, even without Zhao Yongchun's report, Su Yuan was fully aware of the research progress in Laboratory 4.
In fact, not just Laboratory 4—he knew the latest research progress, future research progress, which time periods would see breakthroughs, and which would encounter bottlenecks in all twelve other laboratories...
Su Yuan understood everything clearly through the gray mirror.
The reason he still listened to Zhao Yongchun's individual reports was mainly to avoid dampening the other's research enthusiasm.
......
After dismissing Zhao Yongchun.
Su Yuan came to a room deep within the laboratory.
Pushing the door open and entering.
"Master."
Zhou Yu immediately approached, speaking to Su Yuan with reverence.
"Are you ready?"
Su Yuan looked at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was precisely the person cultivated by Zhou Pharmaceutical. Under Su Yuan's remote guidance, he had successfully obtained the Blood Lingzhi from Ten-Thousand-Ravine Snake Valley in the Ten-Thousand-Mountain Range of the Southern Border.
Since then, Zhou Yu had regarded Su Yuan as a deity. Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan knew that Zhou Yu's loyalty and worship toward him had reached an incredible level.
According to the gray mirror's response, even if Su Yuan ordered him to die, Zhou Yu would commit suicide without hesitation.
Under such circumstances, Su Yuan naturally prioritized cultivating him.
"Master, I am fully prepared."
Zhou Yu said solemnly.
He didn't know what he was about to experience, but as long as he could serve the master, Zhou Yu feared nothing, not even death.
"Don't be nervous. This is a good thing for you."
Su Yuan smiled and said, then flipped his right hand to produce a test tube containing a deep blue liquid.
This was the latest achievement manufactured by Laboratory 4—the A-grade gene potion.
The most superficial form of human modification technology was limb modification, which involved replacing limbs or internal organs to enhance one's strength.
Slightly more advanced human modification technology would involve the genetic level, meaning genetic modification.
The gene potion Su Yuan now held in his hand belonged to this category.
The essence of genetic modification was to transform and optimize the subject's genes, making them powerful through their own capabilities rather than relying on external objects.
Of course, this human modification technology wasn't without its risks.
Once one embarked on the path of human modification, their own evolution and cultivation path became fixed. To advance further in the future, they could only rely on subsequent gene potions.
Genetic modification technology was also a product created by major forces in the depths of the universe to cultivate absolutely loyal subordinates.
