Chapter 010 Talking Bat
After telling the lie with his eyes open, Ryan knew that it was time for him to ask for the antidote to the [Zombie Potion].
This is the most important purpose of his return to the base.
Seeing that the old man was waiting for him to take the bait, he took the initiative to ask, "Um... Teacher, do you have the antidote for the [Zombie Potion]..."
Sure enough, Pisis raised his eyebrows and deliberately showed a hint of embarrassment.
"This antidote is a little troublesome..."
Before confirming the authenticity of the news about "88 Maple Street", it was naturally impossible for him to easily take out the antidote.
Although the decision has been made to silence the witness, only the use of poison can ensure that this newcomer will not cause any trouble.
After a pause, he explained, "The antidote is very difficult to prepare and preserve. And I am still missing a key ingredient. It may take a few days to refine the finished product..."
During this period of time, it is also a good opportunity to verify whether there is really a treasure hidden at "No. 88 Maple Leaf Street".
Moreover, in a few days, the hypnotist sent by the higher-ups will arrive, and this kid won't be able to talk nonsense anymore!
Ryan asked anxiously, "Ah? Which ingredient is missing?"
This was also expected. Even if he really handed over all the secrets, this suspicious old man probably wouldn't give him the antidote immediately.
Pisis said casually: "[Skull powder of a thousand-year-old mummy]."
This is a relatively rare black magic material.
There are many mummies underground in the Ice Ridge Wasteland. Although those that are thousands of years old are hard to find, Raymond doesn't think this old guy is really short of them.
It's just an excuse.
Seeing that Ryan looked upset, Pisis comforted him, "But don't worry, the antidote materials will be ready in ten days at most. I will make one for you then. This is just a small problem..."
There is nothing wrong with this. After all, the "Weasel Phantom Thieves" will be destroyed in ten days, and naturally no one will be left alive by then.
"Oh... Then when the materials are gathered, I will trouble you, teacher."
Ryan didn't hide his disappointment.
Pisis looked at Ryan with a half-smile, and said meaningfully: "Since the toxins in your body have not been cleared yet, take a good rest these days. When you remember anything, remember to tell me..."
"Um."
Ryan nodded, and suddenly his eyes turned, and he asked again: "Then teacher...can I study with you these few days?"
"Yes...sure."
Pisis also felt that as a "teacher", he should not refuse this request, so he said: "You just stay by my side and help me for the next few days. I will teach you some basic knowledge of surgery and potions..."
Ryan was secretly happy: "Okay."
…
After Pisis left, Ryan was "imprisoned" in the medical room again.
However, the only good news was that his range of activities had expanded. Next to the medical room, Pisis's laboratory also became a permitted area of activity. There were a large number of basic medical books and experimental equipment stored there.
"This old guy probably wants to delay the antidote issue... He seems determined to kill people and silence them."
Ryan pondered the conversation in his mind.
Although he didn't expect Pisis to hand over the antidote readily, he felt that .
"Potion masters have a wide network of connections. It's not impossible that Pisis really knows a few spiritual masters. This old guy is deliberately delaying time. I'm afraid he has other bad intentions..."
Thinking of this, Ryan felt that he had to be alert.
Moreover, now that he knew that the person behind the murder would never give up "Baron Morin's treasure", if he wanted to survive, he had to leave the bandit den "The Weasel Gang" as soon as possible.
He absolutely could not sit there and wait for death, hoping that Pisis would be kind enough to give him the antidote.
He must take the initiative!
In such a situation, others may be helpless, but Ryan, who possesses a "smart brain", has an absolutely unexpected plan!
Since he couldn't get the finished antidote, he set his sights on the laboratory.
Only with access to the lab could he try another plan that might proactively obtain the antidote !
…
"We still need to work slowly on the antidote... The most urgent thing is to become a transcendent and improve our ability to protect ourselves!"
Ryan had a general plan in mind and was not too anxious.
It will take time to implement that plan .
Looking at the [Trickster] genetic potion that Pisis had just left for him, he decided to try to break through the first genetic lock tonight and advance to the "Awakener"!
Now that he had two potions, even if he failed to advance, he had two chances to try.
Ryan told Pisis truthfully about his plan to advance to the extraordinary level, and Pisis was not surprised at all.
After all, the old guy thought that anyone who got a high-quality potion like [The Trickster] would be eager to advance.
In order to allow his "disciple" to advance with peace of mind, the old man even left the closed cabin in the laboratory to Ryan so that he would not be disturbed by outsiders during his advancement.
…
After nightfall, Ryan took the [Corpsemaker] genetic potion with a nervous and expectant mood.
Fortunately, due to the high purity of this potion, the medicinal power was successfully absorbed into his body.
It was like taking a sip of strong liquor. After the liquid entered the body, the medicinal effect gradually began to ... It was as if a warm current was rushing through the meridians in the body, destroying everything that was originally there.
Ryan felt that his body was like a dam. After a crack was created by the crack, a huge flood burst out of the dam and poured into the meridians that were like gurgling streams, widening them into rivers...
This is an extremely painful yet exciting process.
…
After seven or eight hours of suffering , most of the medicinal power was finally absorbed into the body.
Ryan stepped into the realm of transcendence, he finally broke through a genetic lock and became an [Awakener]!
At this moment, he only felt that all the muscles in his body were swelling.
The magic potion nearly doubled his strength overnight, making him feel as if he could fly over rooftops and walls with just a leap, and tear tigers and leopards apart with just a single effort!
Not only strength, [Corpsewer] also has greatly enhanced all five senses.
His eyesight was enhanced, and his vision was much clearer; his hearing was enhanced, and he could hear the sound of cockroaches crawling in the exhaust duct; his sense of smell was enhanced, and he could easily distinguish that the air in the laboratory was no longer just one smell, but a complex smell emitted by various potion materials; his sense of touch was enhanced, allowing him...
The muscles and skin are very resilient, and the intuition is as sharp as a fox...
This feeling was so wonderful that it allowed him to see a whole new world.
"Is this the extraordinary feeling..."
Finally, Ryan understood that this was the difference between extraordinary people and ordinary people.
We are all ants at the foot of the mountain. Only when you stand on the top of the mountain can you see the scenery above the sea of clouds. There... there is a wider sky that is unreachable!
Extraordinary power is the greatest reliance of human beings in this foggy world to survive in harsh environments and ferocious beasts!
…
Late at night when Ryan was advancing to the extraordinary level, a black bat quietly landed on the bedroom window of Quinn, the leader of the "Weasel Thieves".
Hearing the noise, the sharp and alert Quinn woke up immediately.
When he saw the palm-sized bat, he trembled violently like a mouse seeing a cat.
Then, the leader of the Phantom Thieves, who was a third-level [Demon Hunter], stood up quickly, bowed respectfully to the bat, and greeted him with a nervous look on his face: "Sir William, why... why are you here!"
A strange scene happened.
The bat's eyes were strangely red, revealing a bloodthirsty and cold light. It actually spoke human language and said coldly: "Haha... You dare to ask why I am here?"
At this glare, Quinn quickly lowered his head and felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
Obviously, he also knew the purpose of this gentleman's visit, and hurriedly explained: "Lord William, I...I did carry out the task you assigned me according to the plan. But...Molin's methods are not ordinary second-level [Advanced] at all, and that poison gas bomb almost got me..."
"oh?"
The Red-Eyed Bat's tone became increasingly cold. "Are you trying to say that the reason you didn't get the item was because my intelligence wasn't detailed enough?"
Hearing this, Quinn felt as if he was being stared at by a demon from the abyss. If he took a step forward, he would fall into the endless abyss.
He swallowed his saliva quickly: "I dare not! This is all my fault... I was too careless and let the target escape from my sight, which led to the failure to find the 'thing' in his hand..."
"snort!"
The red-eyed bat didn't seem to want to investigate the whole process. He snorted coldly and said, "I have confirmed that the item didn't fall into the hands of the Burning Steel Castle. I came here for a secret matter and cannot show up for the time being. If the item is missing, someone must have secretly taken it away. Keep an eye on all the people involved in the mission, and I will send someone to search their souls..."
Hearing this, Quinn wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had been pardoned, "Yes! Sir William!"
