Report

"Is this the potion that can prolong one's life?" Sui Xiong looked at the bottle of light red potion curiously. "It looks quite ordinary."

On the table in front of him, there was a small bottle made of crystal. It was about the length of an adult's index finger, and the mouth of the bottle was as thick as a thumb. The hexagonal body of the bottle gradually expanded and formed a small volume. According to Sui Xiong's estimation, the volume of the bottle was no more than 50 milliliters.

In this small bottle, there was almost a whole bottle of light red potion. The potion was very clear, and there were no impurities in it. But if Sui Xiong smelled it carefully, he could smell a faint smell of blood from the fragrance of grass.

This was the potion that Miss Wendy, the Slime Alchemy Master, spent nearly 10 years to develop. It was the Longevity Potion.

It could greatly slow down the aging of the user's body. For about ten years, the user would be in a state where they would not age at all. But once the effect of the potion expired, the body would have a strong resistance to it, and the effect would be greatly reduced if the user drank it again. When the user drank it for the third time, the effect would be completely gone.

In order to complete this potion, Wendy almost gave up all her work and immersed herself in the research. As the only disciple of the Alchemy Master Trian, the Slime girl who inherited all of Trian's skills, she spent a lot of time and energy on it, and finally completed it after countless failures.

"The main ingredient is the blood of a giant snake, which is cultivated with flesh and blood medium, so it is inevitable that it has a smell of blood." Wendy said tiredly, "But I added some essence extracted from grass to dilute the smell of blood, so it should not affect the taste."

Sui Xiong nodded and asked curiously, "What about the supplementary materials?"

"There are too many, and it will take at least half a day to introduce them one by one. Are you interested? "

"Uh … not interested."

"Then forget it." Wendy's body wriggled a few times, and then she turned into a round slime, lying on the soft cushion beside the table. "I need to rest for a few days. This is the sample, and the first batch will be produced in 10 days."

"What? Another 10 days? "Sui Xiong was confused," Why does it take so long? "

"Because there is a step in the production process that takes a lot of time." Wendy's voice sounded very tired, "About … 20 days … can … produce … a batch …"

As she spoke, she began to snore.

Sui Xiong did not want to disturb the alchemist master who had been working for an unknown period of time. Instead, he studied the bottle of potion with great interest.

However, to be honest, the appearance, smell, and taste of this potion were very ordinary …

A potion that could increase a mortal's lifespan by 12 to 13 years was really not very useful to a god.

This potion was actually the third modified version. Recalling the previous four versions, one could not help but feel deeply moved by the difficulty of scientific research.

The first version of the potion was completed when the amusement park opened, but it had serious side effects. Although it could greatly increase one's lifespan, it would cause the drinker to have a tendency to turn into a beast. After the rabbits used for the experiment took the potion, not only did the fur on their bodies fall off, but they also grew fine snake scales.

Of course, that kind of potion couldn't be commercialized, and it didn't even have any practical value. Therefore, they were completely destroyed, leaving only the research data.

The second version of the potion was completed when Sui Xiong was slowly flying in the abyss. It had no side effects, but the disadvantage was that it had no side effects. This potion could delay the aging of the user for about five years, and it could be stacked. At least from the animal experiments, there seemed to be no limit to the number of stacks. The rabbits used for the experiment were often destroyed by the "aging spell." According to estimates, they had lost at least 100 years of life, but they did not buy it at all and were still alive and kicking.

In other words, as long as there was a sufficient supply of the potion, it could make the user immortal and never have to worry about dying of old age.

After Sui Xiong got the news, he asked Wendy to produce a batch of this potion, and then sealed them up with a secret method. The relevant information was also sealed up, and he warned Wendy never to reveal any information about it.

For example, Rode, the Head of Foreign Affairs and Finance of the Church of the Void Mask, had taken it before. It was precisely because of the help of this potion that he, who had already turned from a middle-aged man to an old man and whose body was on the decline, was able to avoid aging. At present, he was working energetically.

Then there was the third version of the potion, which was completed some time before Wall became a god. It was basically very similar to this version, except that it could only delay aging for two or three years at a time, and could be taken three times.

To be honest, the third version of the potion was almost enough to meet the requirements, but Sui Xiong felt that two or three years at a time was a bit lacking in impact and could not quickly open the market, so he asked Wendy to continue to study the subsequent versions.

So, there was this fourth version.

Sui Xiong carefully studied it and carefully read the information provided by Wendy. He wanted to use the knowledge of a time traveler to take a strategic view and make some better improvements. However, before his time travel, he was neither a biology nor a chemistry major. After looking at the research materials for several days, he did not gain anything other than "Wow, these look very powerful."

Well, he completely remembered the formula, and if he followed it, he could also make a longevity potion. But to say that he learned alchemy from this and was able to study potions by himself … Oh, let's talk about something else.

A few days later, Wendy, who had slept for a long time, finally woke up. She ate a pile of bread, which was almost the same size as her body, and drank at least twice the size of her body. Then she burped and turned back into a human being in high spirits.

Sui Xiong looked at her up and down, left and right, puzzled.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my appearance? "Wendy asked.

"No, there's nothing wrong. That's why I'm puzzled," Sui Xiong said. "You just ate so much, but why didn't your body change at all?"

He scratched his head with his tentacles and said thoughtfully, "Maybe … you can consider using yourself as a research material to invent a weight loss potion or something …"

"Can I make money?" Wendy asked.

Sui Xiong thought carefully and shook his head.

People in this world were generally not rich, and fat people were a minority. Generally speaking, being fat meant being rich, and it was actually very easy for rich people to lose weight — they just needed to find a reliable caster and use the "Weight Loss Spell".

This spell was invented by the Goddess of Love and Beauty when she was still a mortal. It could effectively adjust a person's body shape … Or rather, it didn't need to be described as elegant. In fact, it was a spell specifically used to lose weight.

Middle-level spells were not cheap, but their effects were very good.

People who really needed to lose weight probably wouldn't be too poor to get a Weight Loss Spell. And people who couldn't even afford a Weight Loss Spell probably wouldn't have the time to think about losing weight.

Moreover, in this world, there were many places where being fat was considered beautiful.

It wasn't that people in those places had different aesthetic standards from ordinary people, but they thought that being fat was a symbol of wealth, and wealth was a symbol of status. Therefore, when a fat person walked on the street, he would naturally receive a lot of envious and respectful eyes.

As a proverb said, "Temperament, clothes, and speech can all be faked, but fat can only be faked by eating."

Selling weight loss potions in this world probably wouldn't make a lot of money.

Wendy was a little money-grubber. Since she couldn't make money from selling weight loss potions, she threw the idea to the back of her mind and took Sui Xiong to the potion manufacturing room that was newly opened for producing longevity potions on a large scale.

In the hall that could accommodate thousands of people eating together, there were all kinds of strange pipes and sinks connected into extremely complicated shapes. Walking in it, Sui Xiong felt as if he had time-traveled to the world of "Frankenstein" and was visiting the laboratory where "Frankenstein" was made.

In front of a sealed crystal tank at the end of the hall, he saw the liquid above it was slowly becoming clear, and the impurities were slowly dissolving, but the speed of dissolving was unbearably slow.

"When they are completely dissolved, I'll add stabilizer, and this batch of potions will be finished." Wendy stared at the potions that were changing at a slow speed with a focused look.

Looking at her, Sui Xiong suddenly felt a little guilty.

Letting a little girl work overtime like this, was he suspected of working in a sweatshop?

Although Wendy was essentially a slime, a kind of monster, and even if she went to the earth, she probably wouldn't get human rights — well, maybe in Belgium — Sui Xiong had always judged people by their wisdom rather than their bloodline. Wendy had the same wisdom as human beings, and her wisdom might even be much higher than most human beings, and her moral values were not bad, so he took it for granted that this slime, who was good at alchemy, was treated as a human girl.

On Earth, if Wendy posted a post on Weibo and said, "I worked overtime for my boss for half a month, and finally couldn't stand the sleepiness. I closed my eyes and slept for a few days." Then, there would be a large number of people who were full of righteous indignation and condemnation of Sui Xiong.

Coupled with her selfie, there would be tens of thousands of comments and reposts criticizing Sui Xiong. Even the public security organ might get involved. They would file a case to investigate who this cruel Sui Pipi was, and whether they needed to arrest him and punish him to make him pee in his pants or something …

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong?" Wendy heard his laughter and turned her head in confusion. "What's wrong with my appearance? Or is the thing in this room very funny? "

"No, I just thought of something very interesting," Sui Xiong said. "Do you need me to use a spell to make these potions faster?"

Wendy thought for a moment and nodded vigorously. She couldn't wait to see the situation after these potions entered the market!
