168: Chapter 167 The Life-or-Death Potion

Chapter 168 Potion of Gambling with Life

Seeing Daphne's current dejected appearance, Byron softly comforted her.

"Daphne, study hard now and strive to improve your strength so that you can better help me in the future."

"I don't want to become increasingly powerful in the future, with my Laboratory Rank gradually increasing, while you remain just like this, unable to participate in experiments to help me, and can only act as a spectator."

Hearing Byron's words, Daphne looked as if she had seen something extremely terrifying, shaking her head repeatedly, her tone filled with panic.

"Master, I don't want it to be like this! I don't want to be unable to help you in the future and only be a spectator. I want to stay by your side all the time and help you better!"

Byron: "So Daphne, if you don't want to turn out like that in the future, you must study hard now and strive to improve your strength, right?"

"Moreover, I spent quite a lot of magic stones to buy this knowledge. Daphne, you wouldn't want my magic stones to be wasted in vain, would you?"

Hearing this, Daphne perked up again, looked at Byron with eyes full of fighting spirit, and nodded her small head vigorously.

"Master, rest assured, Daphne will definitely not let you waste them in vain, and will definitely keep up with Master's pace, able to always stay by Master's side to help Master!"

"Daphne will definitely study hard and will not disappoint Master. Please believe in Daphne, Master!"

Seeing Daphne full of fighting spirit and vitality once more, Byron nodded in relief and sighed inwardly.

He couldn't bear for Daphne, this nuclear-powered working horse who would still self-PUA, to just be treated as a spectator and an eye-catching vase left by his side in the future; wouldn't that be a tremendous waste of resources?

Byron could never do such a thing.

After encouraging Daphne with a few more words, Byron walked towards the Laboratory alone and closed the door.

This time, until he finished modifying that ancient potion formula, he would never step out of the Laboratory by even half a step!

Standing at the doorway of the Laboratory and watching Byron's figure disappear as the door slowly closed, Daphne's eyes were filled with determination at this moment, and she made up her mind in her heart.

During the period of time when Master was conducting experiments, she must work hard, learn all that knowledge completely, and also improve her own strength, so as not to let Master's expenditure go to waste in vain!

Time passed leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, it was many days later.

Inside the Laboratory, Byron's eyes were tightly fixed at this moment on the test tube containing emerald-green solution placed on the experimental bench in front of him.

Seeing the solution gradually stabilize, Byron was not anxious; until it completely stabilized, he then slowly poured the last kind of Materials, the essence extracted from the iris flowers, into the emerald-green solution.

Watching the emerald-green solution that had originally stabilized begin to react with the iris flower essence, Byron unhurriedly took out a crystal stirring rod and began to stir slowly and steadily.

At the same time, Byron's Mental Energy was also steadily injected into the stirring rod and the solution, helping these two solutions stabilize and undergo Fusion, maintaining a boundary that was about to break yet unbroken.

At this time, Byron's breathing involuntarily became slow, and he did not even dare to have the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Because once there was a slight fluctuation, it might cause the Mental Energy to also undergo subtle jumps.

In that case, it would likely destroy this fragile balance, leading to falling short of success at the last hurdle.

Time passed bit by bit, and I don't know how long had passed, until the solution became stable again, and the color also turned into an emerald-green appearance.

Seeing this scene, Byron breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the stirring rod as well as his Mental Energy.

At this point, the refinement of this emerald-green potion also officially ended.

However, Byron was not excited about this; instead, with a serious expression, he extracted a drop of the potion and placed it on the analyzer.

Closing the analyzer, Byron also started this machine.

Looking at the running machine, Byron continued to wait, awaiting the final result of this instrument.

This analyzer was rented by Byron from the Academy to use; after all, with Byron's current financial resources, it was not enough to purchase such a high-tech instrument to assist himself in researching potion formulas.

Moreover, even if he could afford it, Byron would not buy it and would still choose to rent it.

After all, a complete experiment could not be accomplished relying solely on a single instrument; it also required the cooperation of other instruments.

The function of the analyzer was to analyze the effects of the potion after it was formulated.

Byron would not learn from those Ancient Wizards, who directly tested the potion on themselves without any protection and with only a half-understanding of the formulated potion.

That was not researching a potion formula, but courting death.

Byron strictly followed the standard process of researching potion formulas nowadays.

After formulating the potion, he first used the analyzer to parse the effects of the potion, and then used slaves or creatures specially used for testing potions to verify whether the potion had side effects and what side effects it had.

After everything was problem-free, a potion that a wizard could safely take could be announced as successfully developed, and he could take it himself and sell it on the market.

However, at Byron's place, there was one more step, which was to use the Eye of Omniscience to parse it, seeing if there were still places that could be optimized and if there were really no problems.

If even the Eye of Omniscience indicated that there were no problems, Byron would take it himself; otherwise, he wouldn't use it at all.

He didn't want to concoct a good recipe himself, take it, and die suddenly.

"Didi-di ~"

In the quiet Laboratory, a hurried beeping sound suddenly rang out; this was the analyzer finishing its work and analyzing the effects of the potion.

Byron carefully examined the data on the analyzer's screen.

Potion Mental Energy amplification: 49.0 units, amplification 48.8%

Stability coefficient after potion effect: 1.63

Potion Perfection maintenance duration: 3.8 h

Potion local concentration peak: 89.2 units, Potion local concentration trough: 48.1 units, High-low concentration difference: 41.1 units, Impurities proportion: 0.75%

Sustained-release matrix content: 0 (no buffer structure)

Energy shock waveform peak drop: 78.5 energy units, 7s after taking the medicine mental core impact peak: 127.9 units (safety upper limit 60 units)

Instant Soul shattering coverage rate: 47.5%

Looking at the rows of experimental data displayed on the screen, Byron did not say anything, and his expression did not change.

Only when seeing the red-marked text in the last line, Byron's mouth corners couldn't help twitching.

Damn, the instant Soul shattering probability is 47.5%; this has already reached an ordinary lethality rate.

Who would dare to drink this? Drinking it would be completely gambling with life!

However, those messy data did not disturb Byron; at this moment, he was staring closely at the line of potion growth magnitude.

Although this potion had a 41% difference between high and low concentration peaks, and had no sustained-release buffer matrix, its lethality rate was extremely high.

However, its Mental Energy growth magnitude exceeded Byron's imagination, being a full 48.8% higher than other Mental Energy amplification potions.

What an exaggerated piece of data this was! Even to ensure personal safety and reduce the amplification, it would still have to be twenty or thirty percent higher than other potions, and that would be enough!

What he needed was a Mental Energy Perfection potion, not a mental power qualitative change potion, and he didn't need to impact that peak to instantly elevate the Mental Energy, breaking through the Mental Energy shackles to reach a new realm.

Moreover, to reach the degree of a mental power qualitative change potion, this 48.8% amplification was not enough.

Without a three to four hundred percent amplification, it wouldn't even be good to touch the edge of the mental power qualitative change.

Looking at the data, a smile appeared on Byron's face.

These data proved that the general direction of the path he took was not wrong, and he just needed to continue improving it bit by bit.

The most terrifying thing about doing experiments is not experiment failures or anything like that, but that the general direction is wrong.

Once the general direction is wrong, the more you do, the more wrong you will be!
