"Progenitor Virus Primeval Protein Injection: one-time bronze-grade magic potion. Adds 10 points of Base Strength, 10 points of Base Agility, and 10 points of Base Intelligence after injection. However, the user will fall into a state of weakness, and all three primary attributes will be reduced by 5 points after 10 minutes.
"Progenitor Series Broad Spectrum Antiviral Serum: After injection, the user can resist the vast majority of biochemical virus infections derived from the Progenitor Virus for 10 days.
"T-Veronica Virus-Modified Human Blood Serum Extract: one-time silver-grade magic potion. After it's used, it will permanently increase the primary attributes, HP, and MP by activating potential. Effective only once for each person!
"Licker Virus Seed Activity Suppression Capsules: Consume one per month to suppress the virus seed's activity within the body."
Chen Gou had chosen these four from the existing virus reagents in the lab to assist him now.
"How many doses of each potion can be made by the lab without the others noticing?" Chen Gou asked, looking at Andric after he marked these four potions on the computer.
"Based on my authority, I can give you three vials of T-Veronica Virus-Modified Human Blood Serum Extract and a Progenitor Virus Primeval Protein Injection for each one."
Dr. Andric, whose soul had been transformed into a vampire, said respectfully, "The lab will produce several of the other two kinds daily due to their high consumption, so there'll be no problem if you take 20 or 30 vials of them."
"Then prepare that amount for me."
Chen Gou had a smile on his face, as the risk this time had been worth it. These potions, excluding the Angel Virus, were quite generous rewards by themselves.
"Okay."
Andric agreed without hesitation before he asked with a worried expression, "How do I explain to the others my changed looks now that I've been transformed into a vampire?"
"It's easy. You'll just have to cover it up with makeup."
Chen Gou replied with a faint smile, "Don't you have a beautiful blonde assistant? I'll transform her as well, and she'll help you do your makeup."
In the Abyss of The Strain, Augustin had used this simple method to disguise his identity so that he could walk in the human world.
"However, you should also be careful and try to stay in the lab and the office. Don't meet up with people like Violent Bear so that the chances of you being exposed are minimized!"
After Chen Gou instructed him, he asked Andric to call the voluptuous assistant in and he smoothly injected the bloodworm into her body.
Thanks to Andric's help, the female assistant could not resist.
While waiting for the female assistant to transform into a vampire, Andric took advantage of the fact that his looks hadn't changed much and personally went to the lab's freezer to take the virus potions that Chen Gou wanted before putting them in a cooler bag and bringing them to him.
There were dozens of potions, most of which were antiviral blood serums and capsules.
There were three vials of the T-Veronica Virus-Modified Human Blood Serum Extract and the Progenitor Virus Primeval Protein Injection that could increase strength.
The most valuable one was undoubtedly the T-Veronica Virus-Modified Human Blood Serum Extract.
A magical artifact that could temporarily raise one's attributes would become currency anywhere.
The two main sources of power for Awakeners—attributes and skills—were interdependent and indispensable.
Without high attributes as a foundation, not only would one be unable to learn many advanced skills, but one wouldn't be able to unleash their full power even if they did either.
Chen Gou took a vial of white T-Veronica Virus-Modified Human Blood Serum Extract and stuck the needle into the vein in his arm.
As the blood serum gradually flowed into his body, a burning sensation immediately spread throughout his body along the veins.
His blood felt hot wherever the blood serum flowed.
Chen Gou let out a low roar like a wounded beast and could only try his best to endure the pain caused by the serum's transformation in his body to avoid alarming outsiders.
This serum was different from the virus bloodline potion, as it couldn't strengthen the magic attributes, but its advantage was that it could be used at any level.
Even ordinary people could gain strength after being injected with it.
The pain grew more intense, and Chen Gou also felt that his attributes were constantly increasing, especially his Base Strength, which was relatively growing the fastest.
He had heard about the T-Veronica Virus on Earth.
This virus was not in the movie, but it had made an appearance in the Resident Evil games…
It had been successfully created by a talented female researcher of the Umbrella Corporation who had fused the T-Virus with ant genes and injected it into her body. She had then frozen herself for 15 years and successfully created it after being awakened.
A fully-adapted person could maintain their human posture, while their physical abilities could be greatly enhanced.
In addition, the blood of a fully-adapted person could turn into fire, and if it came into contact with the human body, it could even cause a phenomenon similar to a burning body. It was far more powerful than the T-virus.
"Notification: The host has successfully absorbed the T-Veronica Virus-Modified Human Blood Serum Extract and permanently gained the following enhancements: Base Strength +6, Base Agility +3, Base Intelligence +1, HP +300, MP +150."
Chen Gou clenched his fist, feeling the surge of power in his body, and slowly exhaled while cracking a knowing smile.
In total, his primary attributes had each obtained 10 points, and he had gained 300 HP and 150 MP. This was even greater than the boost of six levels if he did not take into account the skill slot!
His attribute information now was:
[Name: Chen Gou]
[Age: 17]
[Identity: Apprentice Demon Hunter]
[Level: 9]
[EXP: 210/2,000]
[Strength: 19] (Base Strength 21+Hell Ghost Cloak -2)
[Agility: 19] (Base Agility 13+Hell Ghost Cloak 1+Deathwalker Armor 5)
[Intelligence: 22] (Base Intelligence 12+Ancient Silver Cross 8+Hell Ghost Cloak 1+Deathwalker Armor 2)
[HP: 1,100]
[MP: 650]
[Unused Magic Origin Light: 0]
[Skills: True Summoning (Innate) Level 1, Morph (Platinum) Level 1]
[Battle Guardian Radiant Dawn Skills: Wrath of Solari (Platinum) Level 1, Rocket Grab (Silver) Level 1]
[Equipment and Artifacts: Rebirth Sword (Gold), Ancient Silver Cross Necklace (Silver), Deathwalker Armor (Silver), Hell Ghost Cloak (Bronze)]
My Strength is the highest at 21 points now, but I'm still very far from the second breakthrough of 50 points.
However, my three primary attributes have surpassed 10 points, and I have two platinum-grade skills… Not many Level-10 stage-two Awakeners would be a match for me, right?
Chen Gou stroked his chin, feeling inevitably a bit proud of himself.
Given his current attributes and skills, even the prestigious Tony would have to bow down before him.
After he spent half a day more in Andric's office, the phone on his desk suddenly rang. It was An Zhanyu, who was calling from the Bloodsucker Team's base.
"I just heard that a major event took place yesterday. It's said that a few people from the Resistance in the Blue Wave World's misty area somehow managed to pass through the Rainbow Gate and went to the Primeval Forest in Region A7 with a batch of important magical artifacts, ready to support the Shushan Resistance."
An Zhanyu lowered his voice on the phone and said, "The Philosopher's Stone is among that batch of artifacts!"
"The Philosopher's Stone!"
When he heard that, Chen Gou's pupils constricted and his breathing quickened as he said, "Tell Angeline to prepare some cosmetics. You will bring them over right away and replace me!"
The Philosopher's Stone was a platinum-grade artifact.
It could neither increase any attributes nor provide any skills. It only served one purpose: It added an extra skill slot!
