Chapter 56: Regeneration Potion
"It looks like I'll have to go back and rest for a while." After resting for several hours, Qin Mu still felt a bit dizzy and sighed. He had originally planned to subjugate more Horde Leader monsters, but it seemed he would have to wait until next time.
"Buzz——" His wrist tactical watch vibrated slightly.
"Hmm? It's Professor Zhou?" Although somewhat puzzled, Qin Mu still accepted the call.
"Success. Hahaha, Xiao Mu, I've succeeded." As soon as the call connected, Professor Zhou's hearty laughter came through.
"Congratulations." Qin Mu was taken aback before reacting, a smile appearing on his face.
"Haha, Xiao Mu, I remember you mentioned that a relative of yours lost an arm in the war against monsters, right? You can bring him over to restore his body. This regeneration potion still requires the use of laboratory instruments for now, but it might not be necessary in the future." Professor Zhou laughed heartily.
"It can be used directly on humans now?" Qin Mu asked curiously. He thought it was just successfully synthesized in the laboratory.
"Of course, actually, the experiment succeeded three days ago. Over the past few days, there have been over a hundred volunteers who have successfully restored their bodies through human trials. The success rate reached 100%, and there were no side effects." Professor Zhou explained.
"Great. Then thank you, Professor Zhou. I'll bring him over soon."
Qin Mu was also delighted. With over a hundred people successfully restored, the experiment was very successful. Otherwise, Professor Zhou wouldn't have notified him.
Normally, a potion wouldn't enter human trials so quickly, but given the apocalyptic environment, there were fewer regulations for something like the regeneration potion.
Suddenly, Qin Mu's heart stirred, as if he had thought of something. Luo Feng's younger brother, Luo Hua, had been disabled for many years due to a car accident. Luo Feng later worked hard to earn money, wasn't it all to heal his brother?
Water of Life, a medicine found in a North American relic, required a large amount of precious resources to produce, costing 30 billion per unit.
"Professor Zhou, how about the cost of the potion?" Although he knew the cost of the regeneration potion shouldn't be too high, Qin Mu still asked. Since it had been used on over a hundred volunteers, it couldn't be too expensive.
"Cost? It's not high. If we don't count the blood of the swamp newt, it's about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan." Professor Zhou roughly calculated and replied.
"Good, I have a few friends who might also need it. Can I bring them over together? I hope that's okay." Qin Mu asked.
"No problem, it doesn't matter how many people you bring. We can already produce it in small batches, about a thousand units a day. Just bring them over." Professor Zhou laughed.
"Producing a thousand units a day." Qin Mu smiled. It seemed the experiment was truly successful. A thousand units a day, thirty thousand a month—this output was enough to solve all the problems.
"Alright, I'll bring them over." After hanging up the call, a smile appeared on Qin Mu's lips. This was indeed good news. Since the output was so high, Qin Mu didn't mind doing a favor for Luo Feng.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly high output of the regeneration potion. Since it required the use of instruments, it would definitely be prioritized for military use. Ordinary people wanting to buy it would have to wait at least a few months.
Investing in Luo Feng at this time, when his strength was still weak, was the most cost-effective.
However, Qin Mu didn't rush to call Luo Feng. Instead, he called Uncle Qing first.
"Hello, Uncle Qing."
The other end of the call was quickly picked up by Uncle Qing. Uncle Qing should be at the factory. This time, there was no roar of machines on the other end of the line, and it was very quiet.
"Hello, Xiao Mu, are you back?" Qin Mu's venture into the wilderness was known to Uncle Qing.
"Not yet, but I'll be back soon. I called to tell you some good news." Qin Mu said with a smile, and without further ado, he told Uncle Qing about Professor Zhou and the regeneration potion.
"R-really? Can it, can it regenerate limbs." Uncle Qing was stunned by the huge surprise, his speech somewhat stuttering.
"Of course, it's true. I'm coming back now to take you to the laboratory to restore your arm. If you have any close friends who need it, you can bring them along too. Just don't bring too many people."
Uncle Qing on the other end of the line obviously hadn't reacted yet, not knowing what to say.
"Don't get too excited. I'll be back soon."
After hanging up with Uncle Qing, Qin Mu dialed Luo Feng's number. Qin Mu and Luo Feng had exchanged contact information during the Fighter exam.
At this time, on the third floor of the HR Alliance building in Jiangnan Base City, in a private room of a restaurant, Luo Feng and the members of the Fire Hammer Squad were clinking glasses.
Luo Feng had experienced a lot during this period. His first venture into the wilderness, being ambushed by the Tiger Fang Squad with the Fire Hammer Squad, narrowly escaping death, and successfully hunting a severely injured Silver Moon Wolf.
They had just sold the materials of the Silver Moon Wolf for a full eight billion, and after splitting the money, everyone was in a good mood, eating and drinking heartily. Even Zhang Ke, who had lost an arm, was in a good mood. After all, he had survived and received a share of the money.
"Buzz—" Luo Feng's communication watch vibrated slightly. Luo Feng, who was drinking, glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Qin Mu, feeling somewhat puzzled. Although they were classmates, the two rarely kept in touch. But Luo Feng still put down his glass and accepted the call.
"Hello, Luo Feng, how have you been? Are you doing well?" Qin Mu's voice came through the communication watch.
Although somewhat puzzled, Luo Feng still replied. Luo Feng was unaware of Qin Mu's situation and thought Qin Mu was studying in a military academy as agreed with the military.
"Brother Mu, I just returned from the wilderness." After the practical exam, having witnessed Qin Mu's strength, and since Qin Mu was a year older than Luo Feng, Luo Feng later addressed Qin Mu as Brother Mu.
"It's like this, I'll make it short. You know I joined the military..." Qin Mu repeated what he had told Uncle Qing.
"I remember your brother was in a car accident. If you need it, you can let him go with Uncle Qing for treatment."
Luo Feng was stunned. He never expected Qin Mu to call for this reason. Just moments ago, he had learned about the Water of Life, which cost a whopping 30 billion. He had just vowed to earn enough money to let his brother stand up again.
But with his current strength, earning 30 billion was too difficult. Even an average Wargod-level fighter would need several years to earn 30 billion.
He never expected that a classmate he rarely contacted could help his brother stand up again. This filled him with gratitude. Actually, he wasn't without suspicion, but Qin Mu said Uncle Qing would also go to repair his missing arm. As classmates, Luo Feng had met the Uncle Qing that Qin Mu mentioned, a retired soldier who had lost an arm in the battle against monsters. This immediately dispelled his doubts.
Luo Feng didn't hide his conversation with Qin Mu from the others. The members of the Fire Hammer Squad were all fighters with keen ears and eyes, and they heard the conversation clearly.
Zhang Ke, who had just lost an arm and had accepted his fate, planning to retire early, was now extremely excited, looking at Luo Feng nervously. Luo Feng, of course, understood Zhang Ke's thoughts and immediately replied.
"We need it, of course we do. Thank you so much." Then he added somewhat embarrassedly, "Does this regeneration potion work on fighters? One of my teammates was ambushed in the wilderness and lost an arm. I don't know if..."
Qin Mu understood. Knowing the plot, he knew Zhang Ke of the Fire Hammer Squad probably lost his arm around this time.
"Of course, it can. It just requires a bit more regeneration potion than for ordinary people." Qin Mu replied without hesitation.
This regeneration potion was also effective for fighters. Many of the individuals who lost a limb in the military were fighters, and the first batch of volunteers were mostly military personnel, including some fighters.
"What about my teammate..."
Luo Feng obviously knew it was already very difficult for Qin Mu to think of him at this time, but making such a request was really too much. However, how could he not care about a teammate he had just gone through life and death with.
"No problem, bring him along too."
After hanging up the call, Luo Feng looked at Zhang Ke, whose tears were already flowing, and smiled.
"Zhang Ke, you probably won't be able to go to the Limit Dojo as an instructor."
