In a test tube, the colorless liquid gently swayed, creating a ripple.
Sam glanced at it, without opening his mouth, The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System already deemed it "qualified."
Clearly, this was a well-prepared "cell enhancement liquid," much better than the one Sam had last time...
Recalling the one he had prepared, Even someone like Sam blushed, looked at the girl, and praised, "Not bad!"
"Come on, time for the injection!"
He took out a disposable syringe and handed it over.
The girl's face tightened, her smile freezing into a look of fear.
The next moment, she put down the test tube and ran barefoot behind Sam.
"No!"
"..."
Sam chuckled, somewhat helplessly saying, "Come on, are you still afraid of injections?"
"Yes!"
The girl shook her head, then nodded emphatically.
Suddenly, her eyes shifted, puzzled, she said, "Drink?"
"You can't drink it!"
Sam was startled, The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System: "Host, it's best to inject this cell enhancement liquid. Drinking it would waste 20%-40% of its effects."
The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System timely provided the answer, Sam, seeing the girl's timidness, somewhat speechlessly comforted, "It's okay, it's just one injection!"
"Hmm?"
The girl shook her head, her expression firm!
"Be good! Otherwise, you'll sleep alone tonight!"
Sam's face turned stern, appearing quite angry.
The girl paused, bit her lip, and showed a sad, tearful look.
This expression, heartrending to those who heard, tear-inducing to those who saw...
Not really!
Sam, with a heavy heart, picked up the syringe and gave her the injection.
As the cell enhancement liquid was injected into her body, the girl's eyelids drooped,
Soon, she weakly slumped, and was timely caught by Sam.
"Was I like this too?"
"Not exactly, after all, I was in better physical condition, so I managed to stay conscious for a while before fainting!"
Sam looked at the girl's sleeping face, Her breathing was very steady, Her body was probably undergoing a transformation.
After thinking it over, Sam carried the girl into the bedroom, carefully placing her into the bed.
Then he turned and left, heading to the plant cultivation room.
At that moment, Han Xiaowu was sitting in a chair, holding a laptop, browsing through some materials.
She wore a pair of black-framed glasses, transforming her previous heroic and stunning beauty into one of intellect and gentleness.
Sam tapped her shoulder, Han Xiaowu turned around, puzzled, "Going out to build a snowman again?"
"No need!"
Sam gestured with his hand, "Come on, I'll give you an injection!"
"!!!"
Han Xiaowu's eyes widened, her glasses slipping down to hang on her pert nose.
She opened her mouth slightly, surprised, "You...you...you want to?"
"It's you who needs an injection!"
Sam was a bit puzzled, What's with the big reaction, is getting an injection that strange?
"But, I..."
Han Xiaowu's face turned red, her heart beating wildly, Flustered and embarrassed, She intended to refuse again, After all, Sam wouldn't force her.
But thinking of the serene scene before, For some reason, Han Xiaowu felt a mix of envy and jealousy swelling inside her.
She actually wanted to be doted on by Sam, just like the girl...
"Okay!"
Han Xiaowu made up her mind, turned off the computer, and stood up.
"Let's go!"
Sam, puzzled by Han Xiaowu's changing expressions, led her to the biological laboratory.
"What's this place?"
Just coming over, Han Xiaowu noticed the various vessels and scientific instruments on the table.
She was a bit surprised, an image forming in her mind.
Sam, wearing a white lab coat and glasses, tied her to the research table and laughed menacingly, "Let me see your insides!"
At this thought, Han Xiaowu shivered, couldn't help but hug her arms, fearfully said, "Sam...I, I haven't wronged you, have I?"
"I've been doing my job well, taking care of the household chores, cooking meals!"
"In terms of plant cultivation, I study hard every day, I will become a qualified worker for sure!"
"Is it because I didn't agree to that thing, you want to..."
Han Xiaowu was terrified, her beautiful eyes misty, her explanation intermittent.
Sam: "..."
"What the hell are you thinking about!"
Sam slapped her on the head, irritably said, "Stop imagining weird things, I'm going to inject you with cell enhancement liquid!"
"Eh?"
Han Xiaowu was startled, then understood, Her pretty face flushed red, She felt extremely embarrassed, wishing she could dig a hole and bury herself in it!
Oh my God!
What was she doing!?
It's one thing to have wild thoughts usually without showing them, But this time, because she was too scared, she blurted it out!
Sam, somewhat speechless, got everything ready, placed the documents in front of her, "Here, this is it!"
"Cell enhancement liquid!?"
Han Xiaowu snapped back to reality, picked up the documents to read.
Han Xiaowu was quietly reading the materials, Sam was not in a hurry, He opened the "Biological Laboratory" property panel to check.
...
[Biological Laboratory]
Function: Basic research, isolated sanitary environment.
Upgradeable!
Introduction: This does not qualify as a laboratory.
...
"The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System, which direction can this laboratory take?"
Sam hesitated, Then asked.
The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System: "Based on the host's selection, it is recommended to upgrade to [Potion Laboratory]."
...
Upgradeable!
Upgrade Path: [Potion Laboratory]
Branches: Space expansion (300), Experimental equipment (300), Cutting-edge instruments (1500), Sanitary environment (100), Isolation system (100).
...
"That's not too expensive!"
Sam took a look and had an idea in his mind.
From the look of the warehouse, This laboratory expansion actually requires 300 points, and it will definitely become a very large room in the end!
Then the major cost is the cutting-edge instruments, Probably because the technological level surpasses the era, the upgrade points required far exceed other branches in terms of level.
"What functions does a Potion Laboratory have?"
Sam was intrigued, Although he wasn't planning to upgrade now, asking doesn't cost points.
The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System: "It can produce various potions, such as reducing plant growth time, shortening animal maturation time, enhancing the human body, and some special products, like fire resistance potions. When applied to the skin, one can walk through fire without suffering burns or heat damage."
"That's great!"
Sam's eyes lit up, "In that case, I can also plant vegetables, fruits, and raise pigs, cattle, and sheep in the shelter?"
Vegetables and fruits need careful tending, Sam originally found it troublesome, and their maturity period is not short, not to mention pigs, cattle, and sheep, which require a lot of time and effort to care for, And pigs, cattle, and sheep would also consume food.
In a typical shelter, pigs, cattle, and sheep are often given up.
The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System: "Host, you can easily achieve these tasks, as long as you have enough points."
"...As long as you have enough points!"
Sam commented sarcastically, then closed the property panel, no longer interested in continuing.
Goals, need to be approached one at a time, Compared to the pleasures of eating, he had more important goals in mind.
After a while, Han Xiaowu finished reading, pensive and somewhat shocked.
"Sam, is what's written here true? Cell enhancement liquid... I've never heard of such a thing. Does such a biological liquid really exist?"
"Could it be from abroad? That's not right, technology has always been at the highest level worldwide. Even if foreign technology is impressive, it couldn't surpass by much. This cell enhancement liquid is terrifying!"
"If this thing existed before, it would have been famous worldwide by now!"
Unlike the girl Liuli, Han Xiaowu had a broader knowledge base, hence her doubts.
Sam, not bothering to explain, slapped her forehead and said sternly, "Don't waste time, hurry up!"
"Alright..."
Han Xiaowu nodded helplessly.
She naturally wouldn't suspect Sam of having malicious intentions, after all, she was completely at his mercy, Whatever Sam wanted to do, she had no way to resist, there was no need for him to mess around in this regard.
Test tubes, solvent, opening...
When Han Xiaowu got serious, her demeanor changed completely, very solemn.
Her every move was very careful, a stark contrast to Sam's carelessness!
Seeing this scene, Sam finally understood what The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System meant by "skilled hands and a thoughtful mind."
Moments later, A test tube was held in Han Xiaowu's hands, Inside was a colorless liquid, with mysterious ripples.
"Is it done like this?"
Han Xiaowu was a bit confused.
Sam nodded, handing her a disposable syringe.
Han Xiaowu gritted her teeth and injected herself with the cell enhancement liquid using the syringe.
It was only a moment, A drowsy feeling overcame her, her eyelids drooped, and her body collapsed.
Sam caught her in time to prevent her from falling to the ground.
"Too weak, she couldn't even last a few seconds."
Sam shook his head, carried her to her room, Placed her on the bed, and tucked her in.
Han Xiaowu's room was not overly fancy; it had a minimalist style, with everything arranged neatly, almost to the point of being OCD.
Sam glanced around and suddenly noticed a notebook on the bedside table!
He picked it up and saw that it was filled with Han Xiaowu's daily plans.
"January 1st, New Year's Day, sadly no New Year's gift! Today's plan: Take care of plants in the cultivation room, turn the soil regularly, check the drainage..."
The notebook was filled with text.
It was clear, She was planning her work for the day early in the morning.
"So hardworking..."
Sam suddenly felt a bit awkward, Ever since Han Xiaowu arrived at the shelter, he had less work to do, Not because he was exploiting her, But because Han Xiaowu took the initiative to help, resulting in Sam slacking off every day...
"New Year's gift?"
Sam's eyes sparkled, he smiled, and walked out.
