Chapter 431: Intense Reading
The laboratory’s door was slammed shut.
Outside the door, Osborne and Ni Shengtao looked at each other confusedly, thinking in unison, “What’s going on? The commander doesn’t need anyone’s help? Commander Cook didn’t seem to be like this when he was researching potions in the past. ”
Extremely puzzled, Ni Shengtao asked, “Has Commander Fang Heng always done potion research like this? ”
Osborne recalled for a moment and nodded slightly.
“Huh? ” Ni Shengtao responded.
Osborne didn’t know how to explain. He just nodded and said, “Wait patiently. ”
The matter was very important. The two of them didn’t have the intention to leave. They just stood guard at the door, worried, waiting for Fang Heng’s new orders at any time.
In the room, Fang Heng waited quietly.
Ten minutes later, rays of one alchemy magic array after another appeared on the hall’s floor.
One by one, gray arms extended from the magic arrays, and the zombie clones struggled to crawl out.
They accepted Fang Heng’s orders and stood up shakily to the side of the laboratory, then lined up to take out books from the boxes.
Each zombie clone had a book in their hands. They found an empty space in the laboratory and sat down. Long channeling bars popped out of their heads as they started reading.
The skill “Efficient reading” was triggered. Given their unlimited Vitality, the zombie clones’ reading efficiency increased exponentially!
Fang Heng took out a bag of Oreos as well as a bottle of yogurt from his backpack and waited silently.
“Haa! ” Fang Heng let out a long sigh.
Learning was actually very easy.
Half an hour later, a hint appeared in the game log.
“Hint: your zombie clone has completed reading the summary of February’s research on the unknown worm body. Success rate of divine potion research has increased by 0.17% . Current success rate is 5.47% .
Three hours later, Fang Heng watched as the success rate of the divine potion research gradually increase to 100% .
“Hint: your zombie clone has completed reading the researcher’s daily report. Success rate of divine potion research has increased by by 0.04% .
“Hint: your success rate of divine potion research has reached 100% . You have obtained the divine potion formula. ”
“Hint: your potionology skill experience points have increased by 21. ”
Phew!
It was done!
Fang Heng stretched his body and opened the game log. He looked at the materials needed for the divine potion and began to ponder, “If the warlord potion can be improved, then the divine potion can also be improved... ”
After all, he would have to fight the Federation head-on.
At the current stage, the strength of the Scavenger Army was not enough.
It would be better if it could be improved even a little bit.
Thinking of that, Fang Heng dropped a sleeping bag on the ground and went offline.
...
“God! The Scavenger Army collapsed? The Federation are f*cking bullies! They killed the boss of the Scavenger Army from the get-go? How unreasonable! God! ” Mo Jiawei had just learned the news of Cook Barn’s death from his friend not long ago. He was anxious and immediately found Fang Heng to discuss countermeasures.
In the study, Fang Heng was studying potions.
He had long heard Mo Jiawei’s shouts coming from the back garden and had no choice but to get up and leave the study.
“God, I was looking for you. ”
Shh.
Fang Heng made a soft hand gesture to Mo Jiawei who had hurried over.
Mo Jiawei was stunned. “What? ”
“Xiao Ruoruo is analyzing potions in the study. Keep your voice down and don’t disturb her. ”
Mo Jiawei blinked his eyes and lowered his voice. “No, I mean, what’s the situation, God? The Scavenger Army has collapsed, and you guys are still studying potions? ”
“Old Mr. Mo, isn’t your information a little outdated? ” Fang Heng pointed at himself and said seriously, “I’m officially introducing myself to you. I’m Fang Heng, the commander of the Scavenger Army of District 7. ”
“Huh? Commander? ” Mo Jiawei was stunned again, but he immediately reacted. “God, you mean you became the boss of the Scavenger Army? Wait, didn’t you say you were going to be a mole? ”
Ahem.
Fang Heng coughed lightly. “You know, the Dark Knights were bewitched by the Federation and suspected me of jumping ship. In addition, my reputation in the Scavenger Army is still very high, and I am highly regarded by my colleagues. I was unanimously recommended by everyone, so... ”
“So you jumped ship? ”
Fang Heng corrected him, “It’s not jumping ship. It’s commanding the Scavenger Army. ”
“Ah, uh... Okay. ” Mo Jiawei did not know how to retort for a moment.
He quickly thought of something and clapped his hands excitedly. “I get it. That’s why you are in a hurry to develop the divine potion! Now, there are rumors outside that with the death of Commander Cook Barn, the entire Scavenger Army will fall into a berserk state for a period of time. I guess the Scavenger Army’s showing withdrawal symptoms from losing their divine potion supply, right? ”
Fang Heng nodded and said, “Yes, you guessed right. Only by developing the divine potion can I truly control the Scavenger Army. ”
“Then what’s the situation now? There must be a way to develop the divine potion, right? ” asked Mo Jiawei.
“Developing the divine potion is not a big problem. We have already entered the optimization stage. Oh right, don’t leak this news for the time being. ”
“Really? It’s completed so quickly? ! ” Mo Jiawei’s eyes lit up when he heard that, and his mood surged!
Amazing!
God was indeed a god. He had completed the divine potion in such a short period of time.
That meant that the Scavenger Army would most likely stabilize and that Fang Heng was most likely guaranteed to secure his position as the commander of the Scavenger Army in District 7.
“Those idiots from the Federation. They killed Cook Barn and ended up helping Fang Heng to be the boss. God will be officially promoted as their commander! ” thought Mo Jiawei.
He then asked, “God, then should we control the Scavengers Army and start a head-on war with the Federation? ”
As Mo Jiawei spoke, he became more and more excited, “Awesome! To be honest, I’ve long been unhappy with the Federation of District 7! In the past, we secretly controlled them, but now, we’re going to officially fight it out with the Federation! ”
“Yeah, it’s most likely going to be a fight. ” Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
He came from another world, so he didn’t have much respect for the local forces of the Federation.
However, there was still a clear gap in strength between the two sides at the moment, and the Scavenger Army of District 7 was still at a huge disadvantage.
To change the situation, developing the modified divine potion was only the first step.
“But... ” After the initial excitement, Mo Jiawei was a little worried. He mused, “It’s the Federation we’re talking about. North River Heavy Industry is considered pretty influential in this area, but in the past few years, we’ve been restricted by the Federation in all aspects. The implications of starting a fight with the Federation are too large. I want to recklessly fight the Federation with Fang Heng, but North River Heavy Industry’s fate is in my hands... ”
Mo Jiawei then asked, “But Fang Heng... W-What if the Federation plays dirty? ”
He had to consider the worst case scenario.
“We used to go against the Federation behind the scenes. Now that you’ve become the commander of the Scavenger Army, the Federation will definitely find trouble with you when the time comes. What if they slander you and label you as part of the anti-federation forces? What if you’re wanted by the whole world? ”
Once he was deemed related to the anti-federation forces, Fang Heng would become a wanted criminal in the real world.
At that time, the Federation’s Investigation Team would not be the only ones who would look for him.
