Chapter 384: Super Warrior Serum
Chapter 384: Super Warrior Serum
“With the Secret Martial Arts Conference canceled, the blame has been pinned on the Princes Federation. Interesting, but the Princes Federation isn’t an easy opponent either; they have the Super Warrior serum.”
While observing the experimental results of the Heavenly Eagle and Full Sky samples, Qin Muye also reviewed the situation of the Princes Federation, continuously deducing the next steps for his experiments.
Although the current focus is on Secret Spirit Masters and Martial Artists, the Princes Federation has also planted numerous spies.
Initially, Qin Muye thought the strongest forces were the Secret Spirit Masters and Martial Artists, but after delving into the Princes Federation, a massive entity that has been largely unnoticed, he had to admit that there are no ordinary players in this world.
If he had to name the strongest, Qin Muye is now certain it is the Princes Federation.
“Super Warrior serum, tsk, it’s a pity it’s not some kind of Note: This term is left untranslated as it appears to be a specific reference or inside joke, but in terms of combat power, it can reach up to the 5th rank. However, the cost is quite high. Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters can extend their lifespan by 500 years after reaching the 5th rank, but these Super Warriors can only live for 5 years.”
“Their lifespan is severely overdrawn, but they can be mass-produced, a terrifying aspect of industrialization.”
“No wonder the Secret Martial Arts Conference was canceled. If 1,000 5th-rank Super Warriors were to emerge, neither the Secret Spirit Masters nor the Martial Artists would be able to sit idly by.”
The combined number of Secret Spirit Masters and Martial Artists is far less than this, and they are all under the unified command of the Princes Federation. Therefore, the most likely course of action is to first deal with the Princes Federation.
As for the firearms of the Princes Federation, after reviewing the data, Qin Muye found them novel but not particularly impressive. To him, they are too outdated, so he decided to abandon them.
This can only be attributed to the existence of the extraordinary system, which has led to a skewed development of technology, to the point where it’s off the charts.
The existence of the Super Warrior serum represents a form of extraordinary black technology, whereas mainstream firearms have not developed much.
This is likely because ordinary firearms are ineffective against Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters, while large-scale destructive firearms would harm ordinary people.
After all, the rulers are also ordinary people, not extraordinary beings.
Due to the irreconcilable conflict between the Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters and the Princes Federation, very few extraordinary beings enter the Princes Federation’s system.
Qin Muye picked up a vial of Super Warrior serum. The capabilities of the goblins are beyond doubt; they not only obtained several vials of the serum but also replicated the research data.
“Even if it’s an overdraft, there must be something for ordinary people to overdraw. Overdrawing so-called lifespan or life force is actually incorrect.”
“Whether it’s lifespan or life force, they are inherently part of a whole. In the process of overdraw, the body is inevitably damaged, and it’s already a miracle that they don’t die from exhaustion, let alone become stronger.”
“So, what’s being overdrawn is definitely not life force or something similar, but something more profound.”
Qin Muye flipped through the experimental data. Honestly, he found it quite overwhelming, as the normal scientific social structure has been distorted by the Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters. Therefore, these experimental data are more like records of secret medicines, where the results are known but the reasons behind them are not.
Or, from the perspective of the Princes Federation, the Super Warrior serum itself is a type of secret medicine for Martial Artists, not a biological modification.
“What is this? A blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse?” Qin Muye muttered.
However, this was just a complaint, and he didn’t really consider the invention of the Super Warrior serum to be a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.
The developers were genuinely skilled. Although the records are more like secret medicines, if a Martial Artist were to steal this and treat it as a secret medicine, the result would not be the Super Warrior serum but a highly toxic substance, a specific measure against Martial Artists.
“So, the Super Warriors are essentially based on Martial Artists. That makes sense. In the eyes of the Princes Federation, replicating Secret Spirit Masters is more difficult, primarily because they focus on secret spirits. Conversely, the physical constitution of Martial Artists is more suitable for them.”
Just as Qin Muye thought, in terms of universality, Martial Artists far surpass Secret Spirit Masters, especially in a system where the Martial Will has been broken down, making it more accessible.
“Comprehensive enhancement for the Super Warriors, but there are also drawbacks. The foundation is very important. If they encounter a genuine True Martial Rank Martial Artist, at least three Super Warriors are needed to counter one True Martial Rank Martial Artist.”
Qin Muye analyzed the situation regarding Martial Artists and Super Warriors. Although the Super Warriors are quick to develop and reach the 5th rank in attributes, they lack skills and talents, which is where the gap lies.
“While quick development is good, it naturally can’t compare to someone who has trained with every blade and gun. In terms of combat, they are formidable because they have chosen industrialization over elitism.”
For example, Qin Muye’s goblins. Without the recruitment system of "The Lord’s Era," their production would not be very high, and they would follow an elitist route.
“So, they have high attributes and multiple skills, and after becoming heroes, they can convert into corresponding talents.”
“Found it. The overdraft is not of cells or life force, but of spirit?” Qin Muye was somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect the overdraft to be of something so intangible.
“So, that’s how it is. A genius idea. It seems someone in the Princes Federation discovered that the essence of Martial Artists is Martial Will, not their physical bodies, which led to the creation of the Super Warrior serum, a bug-level item.”
“First, they overdraw the spirit to enhance the body, then they force the body to dig out more spirit. This process is repeated, ultimately forming a 5th-rank short-lived Super Warrior.”
“The cost is much lower compared to cultivating a 5th-rank Martial Artist or Secret Spirit Master, but the corresponding combat power is naturally inferior because of the inherent lack of spirit. Thus, they rely on numbers to win.”
In such an environment, they can still exert such formidable power, but it seems Qin Muye has put them in a difficult position.
Currently, this Super Warrior serum has just been developed, and clinical trials have been passed, but further optimization has not been completed. Due to Qin Muye’s large-scale capture of Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters, the serum was prematurely disclosed, making things difficult for the Princes Federation.
From the experimental data, it is clear that the laboratory had subsequent optimization techniques, which involved incremental enhancement.
This is equivalent to dividing a vial of Super Warrior serum into several stages, allowing for the minimum overdraft of spirit and the maximum conversion into strength. This means they can live a few more years and burst with higher power.
“The idea is good, but the flaws are too significant. A lack of spirit makes it easy for Martial Will to overwhelm them. A normal person facing Martial Will would take 1 point of damage, but these Super Warriors would take at least 100 points of damage.”
“Three Super Warriors to counter one Martial Artist or Secret Spirit Master is a bit hasty. At least a ten-to-one ratio is needed, as the flaws are too great.”
Qin Muye, being knowledgeable, immediately saw the problem once he discovered the principle of overdrafting the spirit.
“It’s not that it can’t be improved. The main issue is that the Princes Federation is always thinking about low costs, and even biological modifications are skewed.” Qin Muye complained.
Then he thought, “Is there any benefit I can extract from this?”
First, the Princes Federation will definitely suffer a setback. If the Super Warriors had already been mass-produced, they could have turned the tide, but the problem is that not only have they not been mass-produced, the Super Warrior serum has just been created, and optimization hasn’t even been completed.
Under the pressure of the two extraordinary groups, the Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters, the Princes Federation will have to scrap the project, and even the researchers will find it hard to escape death.
Qin Muye didn’t care about these details; he just wanted to know if he could benefit from the situation.
For the two extraordinary groups, the Martial Artists and Secret Spirit Masters, Qin Muye wasn’t particularly interested. He mainly viewed them as experimental subjects. If he were to extract benefits, he would naturally lean towards the Princes Federation, which has a complete system.
This way, he can extract benefits from the world early and gain more convenience.
“However, I can’t do it myself. I can use a company or enterprise to disguise it with local registration to avoid unnecessary trouble. I can have Black Hand review it and see what he thinks of my idea.”
While he could forcibly take it, wouldn’t it be better if the other party delivered it to him? And what Qin Muye aims to do is a cost-free business, with the only loss being some goblins managing the affairs.
