The First Research Institute conducted tests. There are individuals with special abilities who, upon consuming the ability-enhancing serum, may potentially awaken new powers. This is limited to attempts at physical mutation abilities; elemental abilities are currently not recommended due to concerns that newly awakened powers might conflict with existing ones. Unless one undergoes a genetic test beforehand to determine the direction of ability enhancement, it’s risky, Lin Yao explained.
Upon hearing about the genetic testing, everyone shook their heads in unison. The Yunmeng Star System has not delved deeply into genetic research; the equipment and serums for genetic testing are all imported from other star systems. This has resulted in exorbitant prices for genetic testing, reaching astronomical levels. Not only are the costs high, but there’s also a long waiting list. Genetic testing was only introduced a few years ago, yet the wait has already extended to over a year.
Only those from affluent backgrounds like Meng Xingchen or aristocratic families like Wang Jincheng could consider it; ordinary people need not think about it in the short term.
While attempting elemental abilities is discouraged, Zhang Feng and Wan Xiaoqi can try their hands at physical mutation abilities. However, without undergoing genetic testing, there’s no guarantee of awakening new powers. It’s possible that after consuming the serum, one might only see a slight enhancement of their original abilities.
Despite this uncertainty, Zhang Feng did not hesitate. “Captain, I’m willing to try. I just don’t know if I can afford the serum.”
“I’ll prepare the serum myself and give it to you at cost price. You’ll have enough from your share of the profits,” Lin Yao replied.
“That’s great!”
“In addition to the serum, I’ve also prepared an energy liquid for you. After taking the serum, soaking in the energy liquid will help you awaken your abilities faster and more effectively.”
Lin Yao retrieved a vial of the ability-enhancing serum from her system space and then took out a large barrel of energy liquid, handing it over to Zhang Feng. “Choose a time when you’re in your best physical condition.”
“I understand, Captain!”
Seeing Zhang Feng receive the ability-enhancing serum made Wan Xiaoqi's eyes light up as well since her power was also related to physical mutation. However, she quickly averted her gaze after a brief moment of excitement.
Her mutation ability allowed her muscles to grow massive, resembling a muscular doll. Despite having a bit of girlishness in her heart, she didn’t like her ability and rarely practiced it, resulting in her current level being quite low.
Now that there was an opportunity to awaken new powers, she naturally felt hopeful. Yet she was well aware of her family’s situation; there was no way they could afford the ability-enhancing serum.
Lin Yao smiled and handed her a potion along with the corresponding energy supply. "You should take one back and give it a try!"
Wan Xiaoqi was pleasantly surprised but quickly declined, "Captain, I can't accept this. I can't afford it."
"Then I'll deduct it from your future team earnings."
"But when will that be deducted?"
"I've already taken the lead in getting Meng's Pharmaceuticals to produce the ability enhancement potion. It should be on the market soon. I've calculated the costs, and given Meng's usual practice of not excessively raising prices, it should be around ten thousand."
"Even ten thousand is too much for me! We're just intermediate students with limited outdoor training opportunities; we don't have many chances to earn. Captain, I can't take advantage of this."
Lin Yao hadn't considered that Wan Xiaoqi, being a local of Yunmeng Star, might not even be able to afford ten thousand.
"Captain, how about this? Let Xiaoqi follow me to learn how to make energy food and sell it. Manager Liu mentioned that there are too many orders and suggested I take on an apprentice to handle more orders," Zhang Feng proposed.
Energy food was something Zhang Feng coordinated with Liu Qingyun, and Lin Yao wasn't too familiar with the situation.
"Alright then, you two can discuss this among yourselves."
Wan Xiaoqi was confused but understood that both were trying to help her, so she hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
Zhang Feng chuckled innocently and said, "It's nothing. I'm looking for apprentices anyway; teaching anyone is the same. I see you have some culinary talent, so make sure to learn well. Once you master it, you can also take orders and earn a share like I do."
Among the team members, besides Zhang Feng, Wan Xiaoqi was indeed the only one capable of making things.
Hearing this, Wan Xiaoqi felt relieved.
Both Zhang Feng and Wan Xiaoqi were making progress in their physical skills. With their ability issues resolved, their overall strength wouldn’t be a problem.
Meng Xingchen had a level three ability and level four physical skills. As long as he maintained daily training, he could steadily improve without much issue. However, his metal-type ability was somewhat rough and slightly lower in level.
Lin Yao summarized some tips for using metal-type abilities and adjusted his training schedule accordingly.
There’s no other way to enhance abilities; it requires practice. Once you pass your materials analyst qualification exam, you can start learning material production in advance. This way, you'll improve your abilities while making materials—two benefits in one go.
"I understand."
"Also, you need to improve your combat skills. You can participate in more matches at the school's fighting arena," Lin Yao instructed Meng Xingchen before turning her attention to Wang Jincheng. "You have a family inheritance for your abilities, so you should be fine without my guidance. Your physical skills are up to standard as well. You should join Meng Xingchen in the arena."
Wang Jincheng, usually carefree, acted obediently in front of Lin Yao. "I understand."
Finally, Lin Yao focused on Zhenzhen. "Zhenzhen, your physical skills are lagging behind a bit. I want you to complete the five basic exercises and then spend an hour in the school's gravity chamber. If you're short on credits, I can transfer some to you later."
The gravity chamber was a special training facility provided by the school for students. It utilized technology to create a gravitational space where training under increased gravity could enhance workout efficiency. However, this special training room wasn't free; it required the consumption of credits.
As she spoke, Lin Yao took out a large barrel from her space and placed it in front of Zhenzhen. "This is a sports recovery liquid I've created by combining body repair fluid and energy liquid. Since you have the means, you can soak in it after each workout when you're exhausted. It not only helps repair any damage caused by overexertion but also promotes your body's functional enhancement."
Upon hearing this, both Meng Xingchen and Wang Jincheng turned their gazes toward her, their eyes wide with desire for the same treatment.
Reluctantly, Lin Yao took out two more barrels for them. "This is concentrated; just dilute it with water when you use it."
After studying pharmacology systematically under Zhao Chuan for two months, Lin Yao not only mastered the basics but also began independently developing some foundational potions. The sports recovery liquid was one such creation, designed specifically to address exercise-related injuries.
However, its current effectiveness was average, and the cost was too high for widespread use; it was only suitable for those who could afford it.
"Remember, you must practice the five basic exercises every day without fail," she emphasized.
