Chapter 41: Chapter 41 [T-Virus Raw Liquid (Essence Extraction)]

Zhang Yanhang took the metal injection gun and set it aside, then immediately pulled the lever twice more, using two soul points to claim the remaining second and first prizes.

Zhang Yanhang sat back down on the dilapidated wooden bed, with three silver metal injection guns lined up in front of him. Although the injection guns were the same color, the medicines inside were different. The ’T-virus Enhancing Potion’ of purple quality was that most normal shade of blue, while the ’T-virus Original Fluid (Essence Extraction)’ of dark purple quality was ink green.

Zhang Yanhang first picked up a purple quality ’T-virus Enhancing Potion’, found a suitable vein in his arm, and then directly stabbed the needle in. As the T-virus Enhancing Potion was injected, the vein, which should have appeared green from the outside of the skin, now surprisingly emitted a fluorescent blue.

The blue fluorescence shone through his body, and in just one or two seconds, it had spread throughout his body in a way that defied common sense. Normally, it would take blood at least twenty seconds to circulate through the human body.

A few seconds later, the blue glow gradually dissipated, and Zhang Yanhang’s body returned to normal, "It really lives up to the reputation of a purple quality artifact; this special effect is much stronger than any of the white quality or green quality ones."

Throughout the injection process, Zhang Yanhang didn’t feel any pain, the only sensation being a sort of warm and cozy feeling, similar to the feeling when adding attribute points. To confirm the effectiveness of the ’T-virus Enhancing Potion’ he had just injected, Zhang Yanhang opened the attribute list to take a look.

[Strength: 17 (+1)]

[Agility: 16]

[Constitution: 18 (+1)]

[Intelligence: 15]

[Charm: 6]

"Strength and Constitution have indeed both increased by one." After confirming that the ’T-virus Enhancing Potion’ was effective, Zhang Yanhang then injected another ’T-virus Enhancing Potion’ into his body.

After both ’T-virus Enhancing Potions’ were injected, Zhang Yanhang picked up the final prize, the ’T-virus Original Fluid (Essence Extraction)’ of dark purple quality. But before injecting it, he took a look at its attribute list.

[Introduction: The "T-virus Essence Extraction" developed and manufactured by the Umbrella Company can be used to enhance the human body and brain. However, they later discovered that human strength has its limits, far from being comparable to that of B.O.W. (Biological Combat Weapon). Consequently, they gradually abandoned this approach and shifted more funding towards the creation of the perfect "Ultimate Biological Weapon."]

"This T-virus Essence requires much higher Attribute restrictions compared to the T-virus Enhancing Potion..." Although it seems like something that could be saved for later use, Zhang Yanhang decided to use it immediately. As for the future, he would deal with that when the time came.

Zhang Yanhang felt that as long as he grew stronger quickly enough, he really didn’t need to worry about not having enough resources. After all, the faster he became stronger, the quicker he would be able to hunt monsters.

"The gap between Dark Purple and Purple Quality really is huge. A Purple Quality T-virus Enhancing Potion only adds two Attribute points, but a Dark Purple Quality T-virus Essence Extract adds four Attribute points, literally doubling it," Zhang Yanhang remarked as he injected himself with the "T-virus Essence Extraction."

After injecting all three vials of the medicine, Zhang Yanhang checked his Attribute list once again.

[Strength: 19 (+1)]

[Agility: 17]

[Constitution: 19 (+1)]

[Intelligence: 17]

[Charm: 6]

"Now that the injections are done, what should I do next?" Zhang Yanhang thought for a moment. With more than ten minutes left until the channel closed, he wondered if he should just go ahead and extract from the remaining hundred Zombies. There should be enough time.

Normally, using a Soul point to exchange for a Zombie worth one Soul point would be considered a waste of effort. However, Zombies drop Treasure boxes. According to his statistics, on average, killing seven or eight Zombies would result in a White Treasure Box, and a White Treasure Box could yield at least thirty Soul points. So, there was still profit to be made.

"But killing Zombies in the room is going to be troublesome..." His small room was only a few dozen square meters, and he didn’t want to continuously kill a hundred Zombies in there. Afterwards, the room would be filled with Zombie corpses, making it dirty and messy.

Zhang Yanhang wanted to take good care of his spawn point. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, when he returned to the Ashen World, he would likely appear in this room again. This room was probably a fixed exit for the Transmission Channel, and the entrance was in his bedroom.

Therefore, keeping the room clean was also a very important task. He didn’t want to lie in a pile of filthy, corrupted blood every time he entered.

Besides, if the room was damaged, making it impossible for Zhang Yanhang to return or enter, that would be a big trouble. Although in theory, the Transmission Channel shouldn’t be so fragile, one cannot be too careful—caution is never wrong.

So, for various reasons, Zhang Yanhang finally decided to move the Slot machine downstairs. This way, the room wouldn’t get dirty with Zombie blood and remains. Even though the room was already dusty, the filth from ordinary dust is one thing, quite different from the revolting dirtiness caused by blood and remains.

"Now that I’ve said this much, it feels like I should clean the room a bit."

Zhang Yanhang decided to spend a minute cleaning the dust in the room and then move the Slot machine downstairs. The actual cleaning process was similar to the way he removed dust from himself, using the Alchemy Array to strip the dust from the surface of objects.

However, the result of this cleaning compared to the blood stains on his body was not on the same level at all. The dust from his body was the size of an egg, but the dust from the whole room turned out to be the size of a palm—volume-wise, the two were incomparable.

The amount of dust in the room was unexpectedly large, which made Zhang Yanhang, who initially planned just one minute for cleaning, end up spending a total of two minutes due to the excessive dust.
