"Yes, the Developer Type I drug does have this effect, but it's not very effective unless you take more than 10 units at a time. Even then, it can only extend life by a few decades. Humans are ultimately carbon-based organisms, and we can't truly achieve immortality."
"You? Something's wrong with you? Are you going to die?"
Qing Yuansi laughed directly. He understood what He Xiaobei meant, so he quickly explained:
"I'm in good health. Do you know why I named this potion the "Developer" potion?"
He Xiaobei shook her head. She even felt that the name was not domineering at all and was not worthy of the identity of a potion.
"Because this potion doesn't actually allow most people to evolve, it instead develops the potential within our bodies. Only a few people gain special abilities like you."
He Xiaobei was even more bewildered. Her own potential? Could it be that she could control water? And she just hadn't developed it yet?
She thought so, so of course she asked this question. Why should she figure it out on her own when there are professionals around?
"Potential? Then what about my water ability? Do I have a natural talent for it?"
Qing Yuan thought and shook his head:
"Your situation is still unexplainable, and awakenings like yours are rare. Most people who ingest developer potions enhance their strengths. For example, soldiers typically enhance their physique and strength, while researchers typically develop their brains."
"(âīšâ) Uh... then what are truck drivers good at after development? What are programmers good at after development?"
She didn't mean to embarrass Qing Yuansi. She was just simply curious. She wondered if the programmer would grow thick hair after development, or if the driver would develop skills such as being able to stay awake all the time.
Qing Yuansi was stumped by He Xiaobei's question, but after spending some time with him, he had already figured out his personality. He would never play by the rules, which often left him at a loss.
"Currently, the doses are very limited, and they haven't been administered to this type of person. Many professionals have to wait in line to receive them. Currently, the main recipients are scientific researchers and some military personnel with particularly good physical fitness."
"Researchers? Is it to make you live longer and make more contributions? Although the institute will develop the brain, it's the end of the world now. You also said that some plants have begun to mutate. Shouldn't the soldiers consume it first?"
"Hahahaha, yes, according to our predictions, plants will begin to slowly mutate in 3-5 years, followed by animals in 5-8 years. But if humans want to evolve naturally, it will take three generations, probably at least 50-100 years. But in fact, many people have this wrong. Humans actually evolved earlier than all other species."
"ah?"
He Xiaobei was completely confused. You said it would take humans 50-100 years, and then you said humans evolved earlier than other species. She really couldn't understand what the other person meant.
Qing Yuansi talked for a long time, and when he saw that He Xiaobei hadn't brought him any water yet, he got a little anxious and tapped the coffee table with his fingers:
"I'm thirsty now, get me a glass of water first."
He Xiaobei finally reacted and quickly took out a cup of iced fruit tea for the old man from the space, then took out a piece of ice cream to eat, and then signaled Qing Yuansi to continue with his shining eyes.
Qing Yuansi's face immediately lit up with joy. He reached out and picked up the iced fruit tea from the coffee table, taking two big gulps.
"Didn't I just say that, under the assumption of natural evolution, humans would need 50-100 years? But now, we humans have used our own wisdom to develop a drug that allows us to evolve safely. This is also a form of evolution."
"Then why let researchers ingest it first? When other countries or plants and animals evolve and slowly begin to endanger our safety, won't soldiers still be needed to lead the charge?"
She certainly didn't think that letting the researchers take it first was just to make this group of people live longer. She also felt that even if scientific researchers could develop the brain, the world was changing more and more. According to her own ideas, if danger came, it would be more practical to let the soldiers evolve first. After all, solving problems ultimately depends on force.
Qing Yuansi shook his head after hearing this and pointed a finger at his head:
"I just said that whether we're plants, animals, or humans, we're ultimately just carbon-based organisms. We humans haven't relied on physical strength or power to get to where we are today, but on our intelligence. And our greatest evolutionary advantage over other species is our brains. By evolving our brains, researchers can design better and more powerful weapons and develop more advanced technology. This is the correct path for us humans to take in the face of natural disasters."
He Xiaobei thought for a while before he suddenly understood. That's right, if a war really breaks out. Even if our Dragon Nation doesn't have as many evolved soldiers as the enemy, our weapons are more advanced and our equipment is more luxurious. No matter how powerful you are, it won't matter. High-powered weapons can still kill you.
By then, our soldiers will be equipped with advanced weapons and can better protect themselves, and there will be less casualties. The wisdom of a government is indeed powerful.
Or maybe it was because she was too dumb. She had grown charm, luck, and even fighting ability, so why couldn't she grow a little more brains? She wanted to develop her brain, too.
Although her brain hadn't been developed yet, she also understood that Qing Yuansi had come today not just to talk to her about this, and that he must have been holding back.
"Congratulations, you've finally got some brains! Congratulations. If you have nothing else to say, please leave."
Qing Yuansi was stunned. He had just said half of his words when the other party ordered him to leave. It was okay because he was thick-skinned, otherwise he wouldn't come here to get some free time.
"Ahem, I actually came here for something else today."
"Okay, I don't really want to hear it."
"That's it... huh? You don't want to listen? How can that be okay? I spent the whole night organizing the language."
Qing Yuansi suddenly became anxious. He had actually completed the intake of the medicine yesterday. The reason he hadn't come was because he had spent the entire night in the office thinking about how to persuade He Xiaobei.
I was even thinking and writing down the key points I wanted to say on paper, but why did the other party stop listening just after I said a few words?
He Xiaobei rolled her eyes. It would be strange if this person who came to trick people and drafted his speech in advance could hold back his fart. So she simply lowered her head, not looking at the other person, and stopped talking.
