I Have A Game Clone Chapter 43 – 43 The Big Boss of Scientific Research Is Terrifying!

43 The Big Boss of Scientific Research Is Terrifying!
The principal's office was bright, spacious, and clean.

The office desk was made of solid wood, and there was a bookcase behind the chair. It was filled with decorative books, and there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on both sides of the wall.

On the other side of the desk was the tea table and sofa for receiving guests.

Ning Shi sat at the tea table and made tea for Hao Meng.

“Mengmeng, we're old classmates, so I won't beat around the bush. There's a question I've always wanted to ask you. What do you do for a living? How do you have so much inside information? You seem to have a lot of resources.”

Hearing Ning Shi's question, Hao Meng's eyes flickered. She lowered her head and nervously pinched the corner of her dress. After taking a deep breath, she took out two certificates from the bag beside her and handed them to Ning Shi.

Ning Shi took it, opened the certificate, and read it aloud.

“Comrade Hao Meng, we hereby appoint you as a visiting professor at the School of Life Sciences at Yunmeng Kingdom Central University. The employment period is four years. We are looking forward to hiring you.”

It was signed off by the School of Life Sciences at Yunmeng Kingdom Central University. This was just as Hao Meng had said before, she was a teacher at the Central University.

He flipped to the second certificate.

“We hereby appoint comrade Hao Meng as a special researcher of the Yunmeng Kingdom National Scientific Research Institute. The employment period is five years.”

Ning Shi read out the contents of the certificate, and Hao Meng kept her head down without saying anything.

Ning Shi thought she was shy. Hao Meng's personality had always been like this.

However, he had forgotten that normal people would not bring their employment letters along with them. Hao Meng had obviously come prepared.

“So, in addition to being a professor at the Central University, you're also a researcher at the National Research Institute,” he said. “Is it because you studied biology and your research direction is related to the awakening potion?”

Just like the last blind date, Hao Meng's face turned red again. She bit her lower lip and said in a very soft voice, “Yes, our research group has a total of five people, and the leader is Scientist H. I'm a spiritual-type awakener, and I'm also a researcher, so I know a lot of inside information.”

“I've also accumulated some resources rewarded by the country.”

“Don't worry, even if I'm hiding something from you, I have my own reasons. I definitely won't harm you!”

Ning Shi didn't notice the strangeness in Hao Meng's words. He just smiled.

“I know. You're working for the country, so it's necessary to keep it a secret. I'm sorry for being rude.”

Ning Shi poured a cup of tea for Hao Meng. Thinking that his question just now was a little serious, he joked, “I have a few classmates who are Ph.D. students. They complain in the group every day that it's too hard to do academic work and often stay up late.”

“How do you take care of your skin? You're doing scientific research, but you still have such good skin.”

Hao Meng heaved a sigh of relief and took a sip of the tea. She smiled. “My skin was born like this and I don't have time to take care of it either.”

“You'll be staying in Donglin City for a few days this time. If there's enough time, I'll bring you around the area and experience the changes in Donglin City over the years,” Ning Shi said after filling Hao Meng's cup.

Hao Meng took out a transparent glass bottle the size of a middle finger from her bag.

The glass bottle was filled with a light blue liquid. It looked like the clear blue sea water under the midday sun.

Hao Meng's fair wrist moved, and the liquid in the glass bottle was gently shaken. Dense purple light spots appeared and swam in the blue liquid, looking mysterious and expensive.

“What's this?” Ning Shi asked curiously.

“This is the result of my recent research. It's a strength potion specially developed for strength-type awakeners. After taking it, it can quickly recover your strength and slightly increase your physical fitness.”

Ning Shi was shocked. Was Hao Meng cheating? How could she have developed such a powerful potion?

“I need to track the specific effects and reactions of this potion. It just so happens that your school is the best specialized school for strength-type awakeners. Hence, I'm here to be a teacher at your school and continue to perfect the results of the potion.”

Ning Shi recovered from his shock and quickly said, “If you want to be a teacher in our school, that's honestly a waste of talent. Of course, I welcome you.”

“However, what is the principle behind this potion? Would there be any side effects? After all, it's for the students. As the principal, I have to understand it clearly.”

Hao Meng explained as she handed the medicine to Ning Shi. “For a long time, the reason why strength-type awakeners have fallen behind elemental-type and spiritual-type awakeners is not only because they don't have a suitable cultivation method, but also because they can't absorb the energy of spiritual crystals.”

“Without the help of spiritual crystals, the cultivation speed is too slow.”

“The main raw material of the strength potion is spiritual crystals. The theory behind the medicine is very simple. After a series of complicated techniques, the physical structure of the spiritual crystals is changed. By mixing a few supplementary herbs, the spiritual crystals can be consumed and absorbed by the human body, and the strength potion is formed.”

“After a strength-type awakener takes the potion, the effect should be similar to that of an elemental-type awakener directly absorbing the spiritual crystal. The specific data still needed to be measured.”

“It's a pity that time is too tight. I only managed to develop an E-grade strength potion and fuse it with an E-grade spiritual crystal. I still need more time to develop a higher grade strength potion.”

When it came to medicinal knowledge, Hao Meng spoke with fervor and assurance, her expression full of confidence.

Ning Shi was already numb. Was this the world of a top student?

The big shots of scientific research were terrifying!

From Hao Meng's tone, it seemed like developing a strength potion was a piece of cake.

However, Ning Shi was not a fool. How could it be so easy to overcome the problem that had troubled strength-type awakeners for 40 years?

If Ning Shi knew that the strength potion had been specially developed for him by Hao Meng after she found out that he was a strength-type awakener, he would probably suspect that Hao Meng had an avatar like him.

An avatar that specialized in scientific research.

Ning Shi was so surprised that he forgot to make tea. He picked up the potion.

“Can I try the effect first?”

Hao Meng nodded, and Ning Shi drank the potion.

It tasted a little bitter at first, but then it burned down his throat like white wine. After it went down his stomach, his body felt warm.

He tried to feel his body, but the increase in strength was so minimal that it was almost undetectable.

This was because Ning Shi' was too strong.

If it was a strength-type student who had just awakened, after taking it, the effect of the increase would be more obvious.

After all, it was only an E-grade strength potion.

After Ning Shi confirmed that there were no side effects, he was in a good mood. With the strength potion combined with the extreme body forging method, wouldn't the strength-type awakeners in his school take off?

“Welcome to the first strength school. I will fully cooperate with you in your research. Forget about the contract employment. You can leave at any time after the research of the strength potion is completed.”

From Ning Shi's perspective, Hao Meng was a top-grade researcher. After all, his school was involved in martial arts and had no scientific research foundation. It was normal that he couldn't keep big shots like her for long.

But Hao Meng was very happy. She had finally managed to sneak into Ning Shi's school after much effort.

She suggested, “Shitou, don't rush to mass-produce the strength potion. The market price of e-grade crystals in the country is too high now. It'll drop later. The school can mass-produce it after the price drops.”

Ning Shi nodded and said, “The strength potion is your personal research product. You have the final say in the production and sales. I'll get the school's finance department to buy it from you.”

Hao Meng had originally planned to give the formula to Ning Shi, but considering Ning Shi's personality, he probably wouldn't want it, so she didn't say anything more.

“How do you know that the price of spiritual crystals will drop?” Ning Shi asked curiously.

“Because the international trade agreement for the awakening potion has been reached. According to the agreement, our country will sell a portion of the awakening potion to other nations and only accept transactions of crystals.”

“Soon, the crystals from other countries will flow into our country.”

“In this era, the government would not store too many crystals after obtaining them. Instead, they would probably push a large number of crystals to the private market to enhance the overall strength of the awakeners.”

“At that time, the price of spiritual crystals will drop.”

Ning Shi could understand why the government was selling the awakening potion to other countries. If Yunmeng Kingdom completely monopolized the awakening potion and did not give any to other countries, the diplomatic pressure would be very great.

If they didn't handle it well, Yunmeng Kingdom might be isolated by the whole world.

Now, by distributing the awakening potion to foreign countries, not only could they earn a large number of strategic resources, which were crystals, but they could also expand the country's influence on foreign countries through the awakening potion.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

Ning Shi turned into a curious child and asked another crucial question.

“What kind of materials are used to make the awakening potion? During the National Awakening, the government could produce tens of millions of potions at once.”

Hao Meng was very patient. She replied softly, “You're now the consultant of the Special Affairs Department, so you should know about the insect plague. As the old saying goes, misfortune and fortune come together. The insect plague was not all bad.”

“After being attacked by the insects, any country that had an insect world boundary would start researching the body structure of the insects.”

“In the end, Scientist H discovered that a substance codenamed “Luo” could be extracted from all the insects in the insect world.”

“This substance was very active. After entering the human body, it could continuously stimulate the potential abilities of the human body.”

“From there, we researched step by step, and finally invented the awakening potion.”

Ning Shi had seen the video of the insect plague. The insects that attacked the border were simply overwhelming and endless. The raw materials were so abundant, no wonder the official had so many potions.

“The National Awakening had almost cleared out the stock of the awakening potion. In order to stabilize the market and to take advantage of the rich, the government has deliberately set the price of the potion at 500000 Yuan per bottle.”

“During this period of time, as the production volume increases, the price of the awakening potion would rapidly decrease. It is expected that it would drop to a few hundred Yuan per bottle. It would even be free of charge in poorer regions to ensure that everyone could afford it.”

“In the future, the people of Yunmeng Kingdom would feel the happiness of living in Yunmeng Kingdom. The spiritual crystals and awakening potions are sold at sky-high prices overseas, but they would be sold at commoner prices in their country.”

“Of course, in order to prevent people from using the price difference to smuggle, the government will implement a real-name system for the purchase of crystals and potions.”

Ning Shi's mother used to work in trade. Although it was a very small trading company, he had some understanding of business since he was a child.

“The total population of the world is about 8 billion. After selling a certain amount of the awakening potion, the market will be saturated, and the demand will decrease. In the short term, the spiritual crystals in the country will be abundant, but in the long term, I'm afraid that might not be the case.”

Hao Meng shook her head.

“The market for the awakening potion is limitless.

“We did an experiment on death row volunteers. In theory, the awakening potion can be used repeatedly as long as the interval between each use is more than 15 days.”

“The first five times that the awakening potion is taken, the effect is the best. After the fifth time, the probability of awakening will become smaller and smaller. After the tenth time, it will be infinitely close to zero.”

Hearing this news, Ning Shi stood up in surprise.

This was because he finally realized that the real era of National Awakening had arrived!

For teenagers between 14 to 18, the probability of awakening after taking the awakening potion was about 20%. If they could take it five times, the probability of awakening would be as high as 67%!

Not to mention, it was effective within 10 times.

Apart from the young ones, being able to take the potion multiple times would greatly increase the probability of awakening for the middle-aged, middle-aged, and older generations.

Ning Shi couldn't help but sigh, “Scientist H is really the greatest scientist of the 21st century! I heard that it/he/she is the leader of the cult organization Heretic Research Institute. Yet, no matter how many crimes it/he/she has committed, it's/his/her immortal achievements will never be erased.”

“With the awakening potion, Yunmeng Kingdom will take off immediately, and countless citizens will benefit from it!”

“Mengmeng, you scientific researchers are really amazing! The big shots of scientific research were terrifying! Science and technology will always be the number one productive force!”

Hearing Ning Shi's high evaluation of H, Hao Meng chuckled happily. Her big eyes shone brightly, and her round face flushed red adorably.
