Three days later, the purchasing agent delivered all the chemicals and processing equipment that Zhuang Li needed to the laboratory.
That night, Zhuang Li made a few grams of the finished product and tested it with vampire blood. The results were very ideal.
"Then how are you going to poison them? Vampires won't just open their mouths and wait for you to feed them one by one." 7480 asked curiously.
"Make a delicious blood drink, mix the drug in it, and sell it to vampires."
Zhuang Li placed a slide containing a mixture of his own blood and vampire blood under a microscope and observed it slowly. "It is said that a red wine-blood drink developed by this research institute has been selected as a tribute. Do you know what tribute means?"
7480: "Of course I know about tribute! Everything the emperor uses is tribute."
"That's right, so I also want to develop a tribute that will make Okar drink the poison on his own initiative."
Zhuang Li used an electron microscope to record the changes in his blood after mixing with that of a vampire, and analyzed, "Vampires' cells have all become cancerous, allowing them to divide indefinitely, maintaining immortality. However, this process consumes enormous amounts of energy, and blood is their only source of energy."
"If they can't replenish their energy in time, they will turn into mummies and lie dormant underground. Their cells will stop dividing, but they will never die until fresh blood brings them the energy to wake up."
7480 became more and more horrified as he listened, and whispered, "Master, vampires and Hela's cells are exactly the same!"
Zhuang Li nodded. "That's right, so vampires are actually large cancer cells. Their immortality requires the consumption of endless energy, so the blood they're obsessed with must be full of energy. Do you know why they like to suck the blood of virgins and babies?"
7480 quickly asked, "Why?"
"Because these two types of blood are full of vitality. So, I can probably guess what Le Qinglan's golden finger is." Zhuang Li smiled contemptuously.
7480: “!!!”
"I suspect her golden finger has something to do with her blood." Zhuang Li looked at the microscope and said slowly, "Her blood can provide vampires with immense energy, like a fountain of life. I'm going to imitate her blood and create a simplified version of the fountain of life."
7480 was curious and asked, "How to imitate it?"
"These are several blood drinks developed by the research institute. I mixed them with vampire blood to create this effect." Zhuang Li pointed to the five videos playing on the computer screen.
In the video, five types of healthy blood cells collided with the vampire's blood cells full of holes and fused.
To be more precise, this is not fusion, but engulfment. The vampire's cells full of holes are like a big mouth, eating healthy human cells.
After eating, the vampire's blood cells underwent significant changes: first, their color changed from ominous gray-brown to a healthy red; second, the holes in the cell walls were all healed, becoming round and smooth.
But after a while, this wonderful phenomenon disappeared, and holes began to appear in the vampire cells again, and the bright colors faded.
From this process, it is not difficult to see why vampires want to suck human blood, because only by constantly sucking blood can they become like normal people.
Only by constantly sucking blood can they be considered truly alive.
Zhuang Li scoffed, "So-called nobles, masters, and beings quasi-godlike are nothing more than a group of inferior cells unable to maintain normal physiological functions."
7480: "...Master is mighty!"
"Don't just flatter me, take a good look at the differences between these five videos." Zhuang Li knocked on the table.
7480 studied it carefully for a moment and said excitedly, "I see! They maintain their normal state for different lengths of time. Number 3 lasts the longest, number 5 second, and number 1 the shortest."
Zhuang Li nodded in satisfaction. "You're right. These five blood drinks keep vampire cells in a normal state for different lengths of time. Number 3 is the best-selling red wine-flavored blood drink; number 5 is the peach-flavored blood drink, which is close behind; and number 1 is the worst-selling cucumber-flavored blood drink."
"So, from this experiment, we can see that the popularity of these drinks isn't determined by taste, but by how long they can keep vampire cells in a normal state. To put it bluntly, it's the amount of energy they contain."
Zhuang Li turned off five videos and brought up the sixth. "This is what happens after my blood and the vampire's blood merge. Do you see anything?"
7480 watched more intently, and after a long moment, he exclaimed in horror, "Master, after your cells are devoured, they can keep the vampire's cells in a normal state for an extremely long time! Master, you must be careful, you're also a piece of Tang Monk's meat."
"Don't worry, I have synthesized an odor spray that can cover up the smell of my blood. And it's very safe in the laboratory. If there is no odor isolation treatment for such a large blood bank, the vampires nearby would have rioted long ago." Zhuang Li waved his hand indifferently.
"Master, do you want to use your blood to make a drink? How much blood will it take?" 7480 asked while taking a breath.
"You really are a bit of a moron." Zhuang Li was amused and shook his head. "My blood is different from others not because of its structure, blood type, or smell, but because of its energy. Where does this energy come from?"
"Yeah, where did it come from?" 7480 asked.
"I guess it comes from here." Zhuang Li pointed to the center of his eyebrows.
7480 asked stupidly, "What do you mean?"
"It means that my energy comes from my brain, that is, my spiritual world. Do you remember? In the last world, I developed my spiritual power. Although it is not as strong as that of the Insect King, it should be considered very high compared to ordinary people."
Zhuang Li spread out his palms and said casually, "So, this may be why my blood is different. It is infused with my spiritual power. I believe that before my spiritual body took up residence in this body, his blood would not have had the current effect."
An egg-sized ruby condensed from data into a solid object and slowly appeared in his palm.
Since developing his mental powers, Zhuang Li's control over the system has become even stronger. Many functions that only 7480 could use, such as teleportation, can now be performed by him with just his thoughts.
7480 understood everything and complained, "Master, you said you didn't need this cheat code, but now you've been slapped in the face!"
Zhuang Li scraped the surface of the ruby with a blade, letting the fine powder fall onto a glass slide. He then dropped a drop of vampire blood into it and observed it under a microscope.
He said calmly, "This golden finger was originally my test subject. Now I'm just adding another experimental project. I want to see what happens after the insect emperor's glands and blood merge."
An hour later, Zhuang Li turned away from the microscope, rubbed his aching brow, and sighed, "The formula for the Fountain of Life has been discovered."
He submerged the gland of the Insect King in a vat of human blood. After soaking it for half an hour, he took it out, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and weighed it on a digital scale. He found that the gland had not lost any weight. In other words, what dissolved in the blood was not its own molecules, but the energy stored in those molecules.
In this way, this egg-sized gland can continuously produce high-energy blood, and the spiritual power of dozens of insect kings will not be so easily exhausted.
At the same time, the blood that was integrated with this energy began to emit a faint fragrance, like the green grass in spring with a hint of astringency; like the fruits in autumn with rich sweetness; more chill than the ice and snow in winter; and full of the fragrance of summer flowers.
You can't tell what this fragrance is, but you can't help but be intoxicated by it.
The fishy and smelly smell of blood disappeared completely!
Zhuang Li put the Insect King's glands back into the system's database, then called the head of the research institute and asked him to come in person.
The person in charge taunted, "Who the hell are you? How dare you call me directly on my phone? If I were to answer calls from you bastards every day, how could I handle it?"
"I have developed a new type of blood." Zhuang Li said slowly.
"There are so many people developing new products—" the person in charge raised his voice and prepared to scold.
Zhuang Li's words nearly made him bite off his tongue: "The taste of this blood is very close to that of the Saint's blood."
Person in charge: "...Saint, Saint, Saint? Saint Le Qinglan?"
"Yes." Zhuang Li answered calmly.
"Even I don't know what the saint's blood tastes like, how do you know?" The person in charge quickly seized the loophole.
"When I smelled the scent of this blood, I immediately thought of the saint. I think you should come and smell it yourself. I am just a human being, and I would never dare to lie to you." Zhuang Li said humbly.
The person in charge thought the same thing and quickly pushed the woman in his arms away and rushed to the research institute overnight.
When he entered Zhuang Li's laboratory, he almost thought he had entered heaven. The air was filled with an intoxicating fragrance, like the fruit in the Garden of Eden that has ripened and burst open, releasing a thick golden nectar.
The fragrance penetrated into the person in charge's body through his pores, making his bones itch.
He was thirsty, he was hungry, he was almost driven crazy by the desire to eat!
His fangs grew so fast that they pierced his lips, and saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth. His eyes turned red in an instant and stared at the glass bottles filled with blood on the laboratory table.
The person in charge was speechless.
Like a wild beast that had lost its mind, he roared and pounced on the bottles, bit the bottle caps with his teeth, and drank the liquid in one gulp.
In just a few minutes, the person in charge had cleared out the dozens of bottles of blood on the table. After finishing, he sat on the laboratory table with a blank look in his eyes, dipped his fingertips in the blood that had accidentally dripped onto himself and the table, and put it into his mouth to suck.
He slowly curled up, biting his fingertips and moaning. The unprecedented feeling of fullness made him feel like he was in heaven.
"Boss, how about this blood drink?" Zhuang Li only asked at this time.
The person in charge immediately came to his senses and asked anxiously: "Do you still have this kind of blood?"
"We only made fifty bottles, and you drank them all." Zhuang Li shook his head helplessly.
"Keep making it, make more, I need to drink it every day! Fifty bottles are not enough!" The person in charge's face was as ferocious as a devil.
This blood is addictive after just one drink. It tastes exactly like the legendary Saint's blood! This researcher actually wasn't lying!
"Okay, I'll do my best. I can also dilute this blood and sell it to vampires all over the city. The taste should be very popular. By the way, I heard that His Royal Highness is going to hold a carnival party on the night of the blood moon. I wonder if this blood drink can be chosen as a tribute?"
"Of course, of course! It's definitely a tribute! I bet His Royal Highness will love the taste of it!" The person in charge said excitedly, "Great, great, you're great! I'll give you a raise. You don't have to do anything else during this time, just focus on producing this blood drink. I'll bring a few bottles for His Royal Highness to taste tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I'll continue working overtime." Zhuang Li began to synthesize nanoparticles in front of the person in charge.
But the person in charge had no idea what he was doing. He just thought that the blood drink was made with these chemical reagents, so he quietly left the laboratory.
He didn't dare to disturb Zhuang Li's work at all.
7480, full of admiration, said: "Master, you succeeded."
"It's still early. I want to sell this drink to vampires all over the world." Zhuang Li said calmly.
"That's impossible. All the vampires who drank this drink died, and the other vampires would definitely notice it." 7480 tried to break his fantasy.
"What do you think is the mentality of drug addicts? Do they know that they can die from a drug overdose?" Zhuang Li asked back.
7480 nodded obediently: "They must know."
“But they still smoke. Why?”
7480: "Because I can't help it."
"Yes, because I can't help it. So I will continue to improve the taste of this drink to make it fatally attractive to vampires."
Zhuang Li paused for a moment and then slowly said, "I will find a way to capture Le Qinglan and use her blood to make this drink. Vampires prosper because of her, but they will also be destroyed because of her. This is the script I wrote for her."
7480: "Master, your shoes are dirty. Let me lick them for you. prprpr..."
