This guy is just like a fisherman baiting his hook.
Qin Shi mused silently.
He was already familiar with Lin Lei’s routine, first emphasizing the brutality of the Yellow Springs Training Camp, and then giving a little incentive to stir the recruits’ emotions.
"What is Black Medicine?"
"I don’t know, but it can double your Life Force! Worth going all in!"
Sure enough, the "survivors" who had just been through an elimination round were very excited, like drowning people grabbing onto a floating plank, desperately seeking "security."
"Black Medicine is the ’exclusive secret recipe’ of the Ninth Battle Group. The Ninth Battle Group has had many dealings with one of the great civilizations, the Saint Blood Clan."
Lin Lei showed an almost imperceptible satisfied smile, then began to introduce:
"The Saint Blood Clan is one of the nine great powers, ranked as a ’fallen race,’ whose pursuit of ’perfection’ easily leads them to the Chaos Faction.
As early as six millennia ago, the Saint Blood Clan experienced a ’curse,’ in which the majority of the noble descendants were infected with a genetic disease called ’Bloodthirsty Syndrome.’
Some people couldn’t resist the temptation of fresh blood, indulging in it madly, and eventually mutated into the ’Black Blood People.’
The blood coursing through their veins was no longer the ’golden’ color revered by the Saint Blood Clan, but a rich pitch black.
For several millennia, the Black Blood People became rampant, and the Saint Blood Clan and the Ninth Battle Group invested heavily to eradicate them, even destroying several planets, creating the Scorpion Corridor."
Lin Lei deliberately piqued the recruits’ curiosity, recounting the origins in detail.
"Black Medicine is a genetic potion refined from the Black Blood People.
This stuff can one hundred percent stimulate blood and flesh activity, squeezing out the potential of every bone.
Bear in mind, the Saint Blood Clan is a ’longevity species’ rare in the Star Sea, and their blood essence is extremely precious.
The Dark Web even offers long-standing bounties for specimens of noble bodies from the Saint Blood Clan.
It’s said the highest record for Black Medicine injections is seven vials; it has a trait of very low resistance. Check latest chapters at N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Ninety percent of creatures, as long as their bodies can endure it, even a hundred times, a thousand times, the effect won’t weaken."
The recruits were amazed; if not for Lin Lei speaking these words, they would hardly believe them, dismissing them as fantasy.
Any potion injected into the body will generate a certain degree of resistance, making the effects weaken each time, until eventually nullified.
Especially concerning the Martial Arts Path of developing Life Force, they refine their Mortal Body, and flesh activity is very "stubborn," not so easily stimulated.
"Don’t rush to be happy just yet."
Lin Lei once again flashed that sadistic smile.
"Black Medicine indeed can be used without limit, enhancing strength infinitely.
But it has a very serious issue, so much so that even the Saint Blood Clan doesn’t dare use it excessively.
Every vial of Black Medicine at one hundred percent purity can make the injector’s Life Force soar but also alter genetic structure, making effects cumulative.
In other words, each additional injection doubles its effect.
If the Mortal Body cannot withstand it, the end result will be a ’boom,’ exploding like fireworks."
Qin Shi’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, realizing Black Medicine was such a good thing.
A perfect match for me!
"Rest assured, the Black Medicine distributed by the Yellow Springs Training Camp is only fifty percent pure.
Beyond the limit, it won’t self-destruct, at most self-immolate, burning to a crisp."
Lin Lei continued to toy with the recruits, eventually clapping his hands, and an adjutant brought over a small cart filled with boxes of ampoule potions.
In the sunlight, the dense pitch-black liquid flowed silently, like viscous oil, emitting a peculiar aura.
Lin Lei, with his hands behind his back, swept his sharp gaze over everyone:
"Who is willing to take on the exploration mission of the Contamination Zone? Remember, you only have the most basic standard equipment, equipped with kinetic weapons and bulletproof vests."
Faced with the real choice, the recruits sobered up as if doused with cold water.
They volunteered for the Yellow Springs Training Camp, but not purely out of recklessness.
The dangers of the Contamination Zone are well-known, teeming with groups of affiliated creatures and harmful environments that affect both body and mind.
The high casualty rate of the Yellow Springs Training Camp is primarily due to the exploration missions of the Contamination Zone.
Those who have walked out of the Yellow Springs Training Camp are mockingly called "thread fixers."
"Very well, Qin Shi. Besides him, anyone else?"
Lin Lei looked at Qin Shi who stepped out from the lineup, nodding approvingly.
This kid is really eager!
Wondering how many times he can inject Black Medicine?
The current record for fifty percent purity Black Medicine in the Yellow Springs Training Camp is eleven uses.
While it’s seven for one hundred percent purity.
These are relatively safe "thresholds."
Beyond them, one would slip into the abyss of destruction.
"Add Gao Pao and Zhao Su, making it a three-person team.
Your training plan is canceled; receive your combat manual and standard equipment, departing at six in the afternoon."
Lin Lei waved grandly, saying:
"I allow you to prioritize redeeming a vial of Black Medicine."
Qin Shi nodded, taking a box of syringes.
He really wanted to try out how this stuff compared to Energy Liquid.
So far, the top-tier resource he’s received is the Divine Crystal from the Governor’s Mansion.
Which directly advanced the Monument Panel by leaps and bounds, completing the upgrade.
Under envious gazes, Qin Shi and the other two were led by the adjutant to the southeast corner of the training camp.
There was a five-story building, still in the common style of White Poplar Barrier City, simple and utilitarian, looking from afar like a gray, misty box.
