If it weren't for the white lab coat he was wearing, he could easily be mistaken for a homeless person on the street. As soon as he entered, he didn't even spare a glance at Academician Zheng and headed straight for Lin Yao.
Grabbing her hand, he exclaimed excitedly, "You must be Lin Yao! You're truly impressive at such a young age. Not only have you developed an ability enhancement serum, but you've also created a mental clarity potion. That's quite a talent!"
Lin Yao replied modestly, "I just copied what others have done. It's too much praise for me!"
"Wang Ren, I'm not as amazing as you think; it was just a stroke of luck. You are the real master here!"
"Don't be so humble, my young friend. Developing so many potions is no easy feat."
"Those are just some cheap products; they can't compare to what you all have developed."
Listening to their exchange, Academician Zheng felt completely lost. He turned to Bo, confused about what was happening.
"Miss Lin should have co-founded an online store selling potions. That store has many new products, and their effects are quite impressive," Bo explained, standing next to Academician Zheng and keeping him informed about the potion research field.
"Open that store for me to take a look," Academician Zheng requested.
Bo quickly opened the online store page and projected it onto the screen using his neural interface.
Academician Zheng swiftly browsed through the various potions listed under the Bright Light category. "Are these potions really as effective as noted?"
"Yes. Some pharmacists from the research institute bought them for testing."
Just now, Wang Fuqing mentioned the mental clarity potion. If it truly works as noted, he shouldn't be this excited about it, Academician Zheng thought to himself.
"Since Wang Ren is here, you can ask him directly," Bo suggested.
Academician Zheng turned to Wang Fuqing, who was still busy complimenting Lin Yao. "Old Wang, have you tested this mental clarity potion? How effective is it?"
Upon hearing the question, Wang Fuqing leaned in excitedly as if he had found a kindred spirit. "Academician, this mental clarity potion is incredible! Look at these tests I've conducted recently. While its calming effect on chaotic mental energy is only moderate, when combined with the mental clarity techniques they provided and used consistently, it can achieve significant calming effects. Of course, whether longer usage leads to even better results is still under testing."
The reason why practitioners of physical techniques can maintain a comparable status with ability users in the Yunmeng Star System largely stems from the fact that ability users cannot use their powers too frequently on the battlefield; doing so can easily lead to mental energy issues.
This mental energy problem has always affected ability users' performance in battle and has troubled many individuals.
Naturally, there are many medications on the market designed to treat mental energy issues.
For example: Purification Potions, Mental Calming Potions, and Clarity Potions.
However, these potions are either prohibitively expensive and difficult to promote or simply lack sufficient ingredients for production; those that fall short often have little effect.
Due to these various reasons, ability users often hesitate to use their powers recklessly in combat.
This limitation restricted the combat capabilities of the ability users, preventing them from exerting their full potential. To address this issue, the research institute had been dedicated to developing new mental energy treatment potions, with Wang Fuqing specifically responsible for this area.
Of course, in addition to their own research and development, they also kept an eye on potions developed by other pharmacists or research institutes. The Mingguang Potion caught Wang's attention immediately due to Academician Zheng's endorsement, leading him to discover the treasure that was this mental energy sorting potion.
Wang Fuqing presented the experimental and testing data to Academician Zheng, who praised it enthusiastically. This potion, combined with the mental energy sorting method, proved remarkably effective for chaotic mental energy. Not only did it provide excellent treatment for mental chaos, but it also had a certain effect on mental energy surges; however, those experiencing a surge were often unable to maintain their rationality and could not use the sorting method themselves, Wang Fuqing added.
Watching the two elderly men chatter excitedly, Lin Yao interjected, "The mental energy sorting method can also assist those with psychic abilities in helping others during a mental energy surge."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was met with two pairs of sparkling eyes.
"Is there more?"
"Yes! Classmate Lin Yao is the one who developed this mental energy sorting method and surely has deeper insights. Please explain it to me and the academicians," one of them urged.
In the past, during the invasion of star beasts in the Mingguang Star System, ability users had exhausted themselves without any potions for replenishment, leaving those with surging mental energy in dire straits. At that time, an eleventh-level psychic ability user found his mental energy collapsing but managed to develop this sorting method through sheer willpower.
Initially, this sorting method was only suitable for psychic ability users; others required assistance from psychics to sort their mental energy. However, there were too many people experiencing issues with their mental energy to manage effectively.
Thus, several top-tier ability users collaborated to improve the sorting method so that users of other abilities could sort their own mental energy as well. This adaptation alleviated that crisis.
Lin Yao's basic version of the mental energy sorting potion required a long time to show significant effects. She had plans for a more advanced version that could address surging mental energy more effectively but hadn't expected it to be noticed so soon. Now she couldn't keep it hidden any longer.
Faced with the earnest gazes of the two elderly men, Lin Yao decided to share everything: the psychic version of the sorting method, its advanced version, and the formula for the upgraded potion.
"The formula for the advanced potion includes a type of medicinal plant that I can't find right now, but I know what it looks like. I'll draw it for you later. Your research institute is quite capable; you can have someone look for it," she said.
Having already revealed so much, Lin Yao decided not to hold back any further and shared everything completely.
Academician Zheng patted her shoulder, saying, "Good girl, you have a broad mind and great vision."
Lin Yao thought to herself, "What vision? She just doesn’t want to owe this old man a favor. After all, if it weren't for him bringing her here, she wouldn't have been able to sign so many good deals."
Turning back, Zheng said, "Send me a sample of everything you sell in your store. I want to study it closely."
Lin Yao's eyes lit up at his words.
The research institute's storage room immediately responded, "Sure! In a few days, I’ll prepare it myself and send it over to you."
"No need to go back. You can prepare it here," Zheng continued. "I'll arrange for someone to help standardize your alchemy practices."
Lin Yao had hoped to take this opportunity to leave, but realizing he was keeping her there, she could only reluctantly agree.
Old habits die hard.
After having developed these habits for so long, how could it be easy to change?
