Chapter 387: Chapter 308 Waiting for You_2

Zheng Yichen looked quite sleepy, and after watching for a while with nothing happening, he decided to sleep just like some of the audience in the live chat. The time was already late, it was past nine, and it was time for bed.

At ten o’clock, when Ahn Ke turned off the lights to sleep, if Zheng Yichen planned to come, he would have already arrived. Now that it was past ten, she did not plan to change her routine; she would rest when it was time to rest, for tomorrow she still needed to get up early to research the materials Zheng Yichen had brought back.

Zheng Yichen had provided many new blood samples, and even though those blood samples were difficult to use in genetic modification, she discovered a new function: using those blood samples as catalysts to develop some new hallucinogens wasn’t a bad idea.

As for the hallucinogens now separated out, there were many potential uses; after dilution and some subsequent processing, those hallucinogens could become very effective sedatives or painkillers, depending on the synthesis method.

There were methods of creating sedatives and methods of creating painkillers; based on preliminary tests, the effects were very promising. If used properly, they could replace most of the current sedatives, and they wouldn’t cause any additional stress or harm to the user’s body.

The usage of painkillers... they could be quite suitable for both the battlefield and surgery. After being turned into a painkiller, a patient on the operating table could even joke around with the surgeon, making general anesthesia obsolete.

Just one thing to be mindful of: if the patient is too funny, it might provoke the surgeon to make a wrong cut.

These hallucinogens had a wide range of applications. Once the corresponding components were analyzed and could be synthesized artificially, the Ahn family would undoubtedly be able to introduce many new products,

especially medical items. Those are genuinely hugely profitable.

The next day, Zheng Yichen, upon waking up, greeted Ahn Qi and left the research institute with his belongings. The items sent here were for his collaborators; what needed to go to Katrina and the others were left at the Dusk Cathedral, which he could pick up on his way back.

"I’m back."

At home, Zheng Yichen opened the door and wrapped his arm around Katrina’s slender waist, "Wait, I’m not quite right at the moment, don’t get too close."

He was worried that a passionate kiss from this girl would leave her rolling her eyes from the hallucinogens stored in his body, while he would remain unaffected.

"What’s wrong?" Katrina, lifted by her waist by Zheng Yichen, asked with some confusion. She reached out and touched Zheng Yichen’s hair, which had turned white, enjoying the feel of it, yet her face showed a touch of distress. Zheng Yichen must have encountered some tough situations to end up looking like this.

Even though he had grown a lot in his appearance, and could no longer serve as a cozy pillow for her to embrace while sleeping like before... they could do many more interesting things.

"Well, due to various reasons, I’m a bit off," Zheng Yichen briefly described his physical condition, and Katrina, a bit disappointed, nodded in understanding. If that was the case, she probably couldn’t even take a bath with him, right?

"Hallucinogens? I want to try it."

"...Are you sure??" Zheng Yichen looked at Eileena approaching. He remembered that this Forest Witch had seemed to use similar substances in her own world, where at that time, the environmental levels were low, and necromantic skills required the help of external substances to be effective.

"A small amount should be no problem. In fact, I’ve never stopped researching these substances," she assured him.

"That’s not exactly a good thing, you know."

Indifferent, Eileena replied, "Those substances greatly enhance necromantic skills, and they even have additional supportive effects in higher-level environments."

"Are you sure that the auxiliary effect isn’t just a specific hallucination induced by a hallucinogen?"

For a moment, he thought he saw the Forest Witch, who was older than him, roll her eyes: "The situation you’re talking about comes from indulgence in pleasure, while its use in necromantic skill is to enhance ’insight’."

Enhance insight? As soon as he heard this term, Zheng Yichen thought of some works he had seen on Earth, where involvement with such a thing always led to indescribable entities, or other eerily bizarre things.

But... after reflecting on his experiences, he felt that these things were not so terrifying anymore, mainly because he had seen too many Aberrant creatures, many of which also made one lose their sanity.

"All right, let’s head to the lab, I’ve brought back quite a few good things this time."

Eileena seemed a bit eager, and in the lab, Katrina was somewhat distracted looking at some amulets. These were Blessing Protective Amulets she had made, the main purpose of which was to prevent Zheng Yichen from being affected by demonic thoughts. But now these amulets had become something akin to Curse objects...

They were filled with intense demonic thoughts, and even though these thoughts were confined within the Amulets, touching them still allowed one to feel the stimulation of the demonic thoughts inside on the person touching it.

Carrying these objects would make one oscillate between sanity and madness.

The amulets still needed more refinement, and Katrina put away these Amulets filled with demonic thoughts, which she could further study to make something more suitable for containing and neutralizing such demonic thoughts.

As for Eileena, she was delighted; the blood samples Zheng Yichen brought back were well preserved. The laboratory had cloning equipment, and although it was not large and the efficiency wasn’t high, these blood samples were enough to clone some related creatures.

However, cloning was not omnipotent. Cloning a cloned creature would lead to rapid degradation. After a maximum of three cloning cycles, the instability of creatures from the third cloning would greatly increase, resulting in either shapeless lumps of flesh or something akin to a mass of cancer cells.

Even so, it was very useful here. She didn’t need to clone on such a large scale; just having those creatures was enough. After obtaining the cloned bodies of these creatures, she didn’t engage in biological research but instead sought to extract special materials like blood.

The blood of special creatures could be used to make potions; materials from within a creature’s body could be used to craft items, Curse objects, and so forth.

"I’m going to start. If anything unusual happens, I’m counting on you," Alina said to Zheng Yichen.

Some devices in this lab could separate and extract the hallucinogen stored in Zheng Yichen’s body fluids, and they could also perform subsequent precise dilution processes. The convenience of high technology had her deeply hooked. If she were to procure hallucinogens using the methods she knew, the process would be very cumbersome.

Speaking of precise dilution, there was no need to say more. Manual operation would just result in a little more or a little less, but with the aid of machinery, it was different. The separation work could be completed in less than half an hour, and the accuracy of dilution was as high as one set the detailed parameters to be.

After completing these processes, she still had plenty of time for some small tests, using experimental animals to determine the appropriate amount of hallucinogen to use before she could use it herself.

"You’ve made the protection too comprehensive, haven’t you?" Zheng Yichen said, looking at the chains binding Eileena’s hands and feet. Those unaware of the truth would think there was some sort of unhealthy game going on here.

"At least it will make things easier for you if a problem arises," Eileena said as she dropped two diluted drops of the hallucinogen into her eyes.

Just as she had said, some people liked such substances for indulgence in pleasure, but as a witch, she used it solely for enhancing her own insight. Thus, those hallucinogens would be additionally laced with other things, such as a certain creature’s blood, to direct the enhancement of insight more specifically.

But now it was for testing, there was no need to go that far.
