What Gao Qi brought to Professor Su was not tea leaves, coffee, cigarettes, or alcohol. Instead, it was genetic modification fluid.
In today's world, no one knew how to awaken as an esper, but everyone knew how to become a genetic warrior.
If one's physique was strong enough and could withstand genetic modification without dying, one would become a genetic warrior.
The genetic modification fluid was stored in a metal tube. When the metal cap was removed, it was a syringe with a long needle. As long as a button was pressed, an electric syringe would inject 240 milliliters of genetic modification fluid into the human body in 10 seconds.
A dose of genetic modification fluid was a separate syringe. This syringe was different because if one tried to crack it, the syringe would self-destruct. After the genetic modification fluid was injected, the syringe would self-destruct as well.
There was no accurate figure for how much a dose of genetic modification fluid was worth, because the price of genetic modification fluid fluctuated greatly. It was like the weapons of the old era. Buying and selling weapons depended on the person.
However, if a person wanted to buy genetic modification fluid, the starting price would be at least 100,000 grams of gold.
If Morning and Night City bought 100 doses of genetic modification fluid at once, did that mean that Morning and Night City was very rich? Actually, that was not necessarily the case.
Looking at the box Gao Qi placed on the bed, Professor Su's expression froze. Then, he looked at Gao Qi in shock and said, "You also got genetic modification fluid?"
Gao Qi nodded, pointed at the box, and said in a deep voice, "Five. I got five."
Professor Su sighed and said helplessly, "In the end, they still bought it. It seems that the people in the city are under a lot of pressure now."
Professor Su picked up a metal tube containing genetic modification fluid and looked at it carefully. Then, he said to Gao Qi, "Do you know where this genetic modification fluid came from?"
"Where?"
"Number One City. But did you know that Number One City didn't produce genetic modification fluid before because their genetic modification technology wasn't very good?"
After that, Professor Su waved the metal tube twice and said in a low voice, "This is the latest product of Number One City. It's a test model. In other words, this genetic modification fluid still needs to be tested on live subjects. Morning and Morning City will use people to test the technology of Number One City."
Gao Qi suddenly understood and said, "I see. I was curious how Morning and Night City had the money to buy 100 doses of genetic modification fluid at once. Uh, why didn't Number One City test it themselves?"
Professor Su said with a serious face, "Human lives are worthless these days, but people who meet the requirements of genetic modification are an exception. Let me tell you, people with excellent physical fitness are precious no matter what era they are in. It's a waste to use genetic modification on people with poor physical fitness. There won't be any effective experimental data. Isn't it a great waste to use people with excellent physical fitness for experiments?"
After that, Professor Su shook his head and said, "Sell it to other cities at cost price and let them test it on people with the best physical fitness. At the lowest cost, they can get the most effective experimental data. Why not? What's the mortality rate?"
Gao Qi quickly said, "Fifty percent. With the use of the genetic modification chamber, the success rate can be raised to seventy percent. Now, twenty people in the city have been injected, and eight people have died …"
Professor Su nodded and said, "The base number is too small, but the success rate of this genetic modification fluid should be about sixty percent. Let me tell you, the genetic modification chamber is useless. It can't even be used as an emergency room. The so-called genetic modification chamber is used to collect human data, and the data will be sent back to Number One City."
So that was the case. The genetic modification chamber was dispensable.
Professor Su put the metal tube back into the box and said in a deep voice, "Genetic modification technology is spreading, but the best technology is undoubtedly Apple City. Their genetic modification success rate is about ninety-five percent, but genetic modification can't be completely safe. For many people, a success rate of sixty percent and a success rate of ninety-five percent are not much different. If they succeed, they will reach the sky in one step. If they don't, they will die."
Gao Qi whispered, "In my opinion, a success rate of sixty percent is enough. “
Professor Su shook his head and said, "The death rate of forty percent is a statistic. The success rate and the survival rate are two different concepts. The failure rate and the death rate are also two different concepts. Why did those who succeeded succeed and what caused the death of those who failed? Only the producers of the genetic modification fluid know. We have no way of knowing."
Professor Su put the genetic modification fluid back into the box and said with a serious face, "Will giving this to me bring you any trouble?"
"No, because … I killed Liu Qiang. Well, I defeated Jinling Tree and the Arctic Lord. Oh, and I am still a Class A esper."
Professor Su was stunned again, and then he said in shock, "What happened two days ago, was it you?"
Gao Qi nodded and said, "Yes, it was me. That's why no one in Chaoxi City dares to point their fingers at me."
Professor Su heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he stepped forward and patted Gao Qi on the shoulder. He said in a low voice, "Amazing. I thought that knowledge was our only source of power. I didn't expect you to possess such great power. You have the power to change the world."
Gao Qi shook his head and looked at Lao Niu. Lao Niu immediately stood up and left without saying anything.
When there was no one else in the room, Gao Qi said in a low voice, "Professor, I'll tell you the truth. Right now, I'm probably only a D-class paranormal. I might not be as strong, but my power has disappeared. I'm just a facade now. If those people in the city have the courage to kill me, they'll find that I can't even withstand a single blow."
Professor Su was shocked. "How can that be?"
"Uh, how should I explain it … Actually, I don't know why, but I'm sure that my power is related to the Third Cataclysm and the world that brought about it."
Professor Su seemed a little disappointed. He looked puzzled, but he still forced a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay … Has it really disappeared completely?"
Gao Qi hesitated for a moment.
In this world, no one was closer to Gao Qi than Professor Su, and no one was more trustworthy than Professor Su for Gao Qi.
Therefore, Gao Qi decided to tell Professor Su the truth.
"It's true that I can't use magic now, even if I have an energy core. However, there's still a magic rune in my mind. It's an incomplete magic rune, and this rune is like a part of my life …"
Gao Qi seemed a little confused. He whispered, "I should tell you from the beginning. Where should I start? Well, let's start with the first energy explosion."
