He drank the original coffee in one gulp.
That was when the coffee's unique sweet and bitter taste bloomed in his taste buds.
Gounières let out a sigh of relief.
From start to finish, just the resources that the Pioneers had given him amounted to three to four hundred thousand gold pounds.
Not to mention the laboratory, the relevant experimental personnel, and the allocation of logistical personnel.
Gounières had invested quite a lot of Water from the Spring of Life himself.
Every day, Gounières would put in seven to eight hundred milliliters of Water from the Spring of Life. Sometimes, he would even throw in thousands of milliliters of Water from the Spring of Life directly.
According to the market price, the Water from the Spring of Life alone would cost over ten thousand gold pounds a day.
Although the Pioneers would give Gounières quite a lot of Water from the Spring of Life every time, compared to what Gounières had invested himself, the amount of Water from the Pioneers was obviously very little.
And to ensure that the amount of the Esoteric Medicine was not discovered by the experimental personnel, it was all Water from the Spring of Life.
After the Esoteric Medicine was concocted, Gounières would do a uniform dilution of the Spring of Life Essence.
After the concoction was done, the dilution would not destroy the Transcendent characteristics that had already taken shape. It would just be a little less effective.
But for the small size of the Silver-Armored Rats, even if it was diluted, the lethality was still very strong.
During this period of time, Gounières had killed quite a number of Silver-Armored Rats.
A large amount of resources had been invested, and now, there were finally results.
"Does Esoteric Medicine No.132 have the side effect of deep sleep?"
Gounières quickly discussed the materials related to the soul-type Esoteric Medicine No.132 in his mind.
"There are a total of six types. One of them is the Fallen Soul Flower. This Transcendent plant's Transcendent characteristic can heal injuries to the soul, but it will cause the user to enter a state of deep sleep.
"And this Esoteric Medicine No.132 contains a relatively high amount of the Fallen Soul Flower.
"It seems that in the future research, the amount of the Fallen Soul Flower needs to be slightly reduced.
"This is the only way to prevent the drinker from entering a state of spiritual sleep. After all, there is a possibility that the drinker won't wake up from spiritual sleep."
"Even if this Silver-Armored Rat can wake up, it doesn't mean that ordinary human Extraordinaires can also wake up. If they can't wake up, then this secret medicine won't have much meaning."
After thinking about this, Gounières looked at Dr. Henry.
"In the next two days, I will speed up the research of the derivative potion of the No. 132 secret pattern potion."
Gounières said, "You will also need to follow up with the research and make a detailed evaluation of the soul's sleep."
"Okay, don't worry. I promise to fully cooperate with your research," Dr. Henry said with certainty.
After some discussion, Dr. Henry got up and left.
After Dr. Henry left, Gounières stood up and walked towards his private alchemy room.
Gounières had a detailed record of every secret pattern potion's mixing ratio, method, material concentration, and ingredients.
In the records, Gounières found the original document of the No. 132 secret pattern potion.
Rank 6 Nightmare Fragment: Solubility 12.8%
200 years old Black Oblivion Vine Root: Solubility 33.4%
200 years old Fallen Soul Flower: Solubility 29.6%
Rank 6 Nightmare Dragon Blood: Solubility 18.6%
150 years old Soul Saliva Grass: Solubility 24.6%
200 years old Sea Soul Flower: Solubility 24.4%
The solubility was obtained by Gunie by observing the optimal ratio of the active state of the Beyonder characteristic through his vision of the Beyonder characteristic.
"This is invaluable!" Gounières sighed as he looked at the list of solubility ratios and the records of the test methods.
Gounières immediately put away the recipe list.
Before the results were produced, these ineffective solubility formulas weren't worth keeping confidential.
Now that the results were out, Gounières needed to store all the relevant data in the system space.
"Adjusting a certain ratio of the Fallen Soul Flower to lower its Extraordinaire by one level will allow the Extraordinaire to enter a normal sleep state or even a deep sleep state, instead of soul sleep.
This way, if something unexpected happens, the Extraordinaire who drank the secret pattern potion will be able to wake up immediately. "
"But no matter what, this Soul Secret Pattern Potion No. 132 that only has the side effect of deep sleep has finally been produced."
"The standard for use has been reached."
"The next step is to optimize it, weaken the side effect, and strengthen the effect of the soul's Extraordinaire to a higher level."
"Currently, this Soul Secret Pattern Potion can increase the strength of the Silver-Armored Rat's Extraordinaire from 0.42 to 0.66. After optimization, maybe the same amount can reach 0.76 or even 0.86. The stronger the effect, the better. "
After igniting the small furnace, turning on the steam engine, and activating the source energy tower, Gounières quickly got to work.
This time, Gounières wanted to use the Soul Secret Pattern Potion No. 132 as a blueprint for the subsequent series of potions. Through mixing different ratios, he could obtain the best potion formula.
…
Two and a half hours later.
Gounières stopped working.
At this time, on the workbench in front of Gounières, five Soul Secret Pattern Potions named 132-1 to 132-5 were produced.
"Leave it to Dr. Henry and wait for the results," Gounières thought to himself.
Then, Gounières let out a long breath.
With the blueprint of the Soul Secret Pattern Potion out, Gounières felt a lot more relaxed.
After all, the transformation of the soul's Extraordinaire characteristic from an "Ordinary Soul" to an "Elite Soul" was Gounières's goal all this time.
The relaxed Gounières suddenly had an idea.
That was.
"Should I … … stock up on some ingredients now?"
Gounières knew very well that once the perfect "Soul Secret Pattern Potion" was produced, the formula would be handed over to the Pioneers.
Very soon, the Pioneers would use their power to increase the purchase of these ingredients in the entire Yulan Empire, and even in the entire northern part of the Aoya continent.
Based on the experience of fighting over salt and rice in his previous life.
When something major happened, even if the country greatly regulated it, the price would still double.
And in this market where there was almost no macro-regulation.
Once there was a rush, the price would be unimaginable.
These ingredients that were one or two hundred years old were worth between 20 and 50 Gold Pounds.
And once the Pioneers bought them on a large scale, the price would definitely rise.
Once the news that these ingredients could be used to create Secret Pattern Potions was leaked out …
The price would break through a hundred or even two hundred Gold Pounds. It was even possible for it to reach an astronomical price of four or five hundred Gold Pounds.
And at that time, the cost of creating Secret Pattern Potions that could increase the soul's Extraordinaire characteristic would also skyrocket.
Those wealthy Extraordinaires would be willing to spend large amounts of money to purchase these "high grade Precious Medicines", just because they could slightly increase the strength of various aspects.
And once these Secret Pattern Potions were sold to the public, they would definitely be willing to spend even more money to purchase them.
These Secret Pattern Potions that cost several hundred Gold Pounds could be sold at a premium of seven or eight times, or even ten times.
What was certain was that these Secret Pattern Potions definitely weren't something that ordinary Extraordinaires could touch.
Even ordinary nobles didn't have the qualifications to use these Secret Pattern Potions.
In fact, these Secret Pattern Potions could even become a strategic item for the Pioneers and the Yulan Transcendental Association.
But right now, none of this had happened.
The ingredients in the records were still relatively cheap in the current market.
"It's only right to hoard some. After all, even if I don't engage in profiteering, I still need these ingredients to create Secret Pattern Potions and increase my soul's Extraordinaire characteristic."
"If I hoard some now, I'll lower the cost of increasing my own strength. Otherwise, in the end, I won't be able to buy the ingredients to create my own potions. That would be a bit of a scam."
"I won't hoard too much. If I hoard too much, it'll be easy for others to discover some clues. I'll just hoard thirty to fifty thousand Gold Pounds worth of ingredients. "
"But the problem is …" Gounières rubbed his temples.
"Where am I going to get so many Gold Pounds?"
During this period of time, Gounières had made quite a bit of profit from creating Secret Pattern Potions.
Now, Gounières had roughly three thousand Gold Pounds on him.
In front of thirty to fifty thousand Gold Pounds, these three thousand Gold Pounds were like a drop in the bucket.
"Perhaps …"
"I can …"
While pondering, Gounières thought of a pretty good idea.
