Chapter 290: Crisis on Loy Planet
The potion that improves physical fitness still maintains the previous progress.
Old Man Yuan also took half of his time to teach Qu Tong how to make advanced and special-grade interstellar potions.
The potion prepared by Old Man Yuan was very similar to that of the Pharmacist Guild when Qu Tong asked about it.
Old man Yuan snorted disdainfully: "That old man Lan Jianghong does have some talent in medicine, but that's just the level. If he hadn't stolen my recipe, he might never have been able to make a special-grade medicine in his lifetime."
"Even if the recipe was stolen, the special-grade medicine he prepared would still be a defective product."
Old Man Yuan was very confident in his skills and immediately prepared a special-grade medicine for Qu Tong to see.
Put it on the machine and check:
Attribute: Mental medicine
Purity: 99%
Contains mental force factor: 98%
Grade: Special
Additional flavor: Qianjinlan
Evaluated Utility: Alleviate Psychic Riot (SSS Level)
It’s only slightly worse than Qu Tong’s medicine.
Special-grade potions consume a lot of time and mental energy. Old man Yuan can only prepare one special-grade potion every two days.
As long as there are enough medicinal materials, Qu Tong can prepare more than ten of them a day.
But the good thing about Old Man Yuan’s prescription is that it does not use seven-leaf heart. Although the cost of various medicinal materials is very high, none of them is so scarce that they are about to become extinct.
After carefully studying Qu Tong's mental power, Old Man Yuan came to a conclusion.
The reason why interstellar pharmacists have a limited amount of potions to prepare every day is because the machines will suffer great losses when converting mental energy.
However, her special ability is equivalent to skipping this step directly. Her mental power and ability are originally one and the same. Even through machines, the effect of the converted medicine is different from the conventional one.
To use an analogy, human spiritual power is like a pool of muddy, polluted water.
The function of the medicine refining machine is to purify muddy water into drinkable pure water. After going through various processes, 90% of the water is wasted before only one layer can be retained.
Qu Tong's special ability is pure water, and it is pure water of spiritual spring level.
Other pharmacists usually prepare a few medicines a day at most and then have to rest for a few days.
Qu Tong is a special person that even old man Yuan is jealous of.

When Qu Tong received the news of the Zerg attack, he was listening to Old Man Yuan's angry chatter.
Qu Tong put down the failed product in his hand, his expression became more solemn: "Learn later, I'll go out and take a look."
Old man Yuan’s computer also rang, and he followed Qu Tong out of the laboratory.
When Qu Tong went outside, Xuan Ping, Tang Shigui and others had already gathered together and were having a heated discussion.
"What's going on?" Qu Tong looked at Xuan Ping and the others.
She didn't receive any information when the Zerg attacked in the past.
"Don't worry, Princess. This is an air defense alarm initiated by the military. The Zerg will launch a large-scale attack every few years. We received a message indicating that the military has already dispatched troops there." Gu Xiu explained to Qu Tong.
"No wonder it took so long this time, it turns out he was holding back on his ultimate move." Xuan Ping commented, without much worry on his face, apparently he was used to it.
Some people around felt relieved after hearing this.
Qu Tong asked them to go about their own business, while he and Xuan Ping opened the Star Network to see if there were any updates on the news.
This time the official satellite live broadcast was launched, so Qu Tong could see the general situation of the battlefield very intuitively.
Qu Tong’s guess was correct. This attack was indeed somewhat related to the third-level star from last time.
Fortunately, Si Yuting took timely precautions and installed a planetary protection shield above the residential area in advance.
The Zerg that came through the wormhole this time was much larger than before.
Even the Zerg on the Zerg Star outside the border began to attack the border as if they had received some kind of summons.
"Have you noticed? The Zerg's attack this time is very regular, as if someone is directing it from behind." Qu Tong asked.
"It should be the Zerg Queen who is commanding at the other end of the wormhole. All Zergs listen to her." Su Hua guessed.
"Really?" Qu Tong watched the video and had a bad feeling.
And this bad premonition soon came true.
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard in the air, causing everyone to look around, and finally, they all looked up at the sky at the same time.
"What's going on?" Xuanping and others also stood up, not understanding what was going on.
The sounds became more and more frequent. Some residents began to show signs of anxiety and panic, and gathered towards Qu Tong.
Qu Tong called up the planetary surveillance from the optical computer to check.
There was a banging sound coming from the planet's protective shield. Densely packed Zergs, both low-level, medium-level and high-level Zergs, crashed into the protective shield, creating circles of energy waves.
"Zerg!" Xiang Bin exclaimed, "How could the Zerg appear on Loy Planet?"
No one could answer him, not even Gu Xiuxuanping and the others knew what was going on.
Qu Tong's brows tightened instantly, and he opened the computer to send a message to Si Yuting, but a red exclamation mark appeared in the dialog box.
Xuan Ping and his companions also tried using the optical computer, but the same situation occurred.
"There is a wormhole nearby. The energy around the wormhole is very unstable and the signal cannot be transmitted out." Hu Qing quickly came to the conclusion.
They looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Xuan Ping, Hu Qing, Wan Huai, please help appease the residents of Loy Star. Su Hua, go collect all the energy stones in everyone's hands. Gu Xiu, please help register them. I will replenish them for everyone later. I will go to the center console first. Please help me take care of the outside."
Qu Tong arranged things calmly, working non-stop with her hands, removing the isolation shields around the villa and farm to avoid affecting the operation. She had no time to set permissions now.
A fairytale castle and a lush orchard appeared before everyone, and no one had time to admire them. Xuanping and the others saluted solemnly and quickly went down to act according to Qu Tong's arrangements.
Some experienced veterans such as Tang Shigui also came to help.
Qu Tong quickly returned to the center console. Old Man Yuan was already inside, replenishing energy stones for the planet's protective shield.
"Little girl, give me all your energy stones. Damn it, the energy stones are consumed so quickly." Old man Yuan couldn't help but swear.
Qu Tong did not hesitate and threw the energy stones of the two space buttons to Old Man Yuan.
Old man Yuan took out several large pieces and threw them into the card slot, then he breathed a sigh of relief and walked to Qu Tong.
"Little girl, do you know what's going on? Logically speaking, since you are so far away from the border, there shouldn't be so many Zergs."
"I don't know either. There is a wormhole around Loy Star. The last time a wormhole appeared on a first-level star, it's not surprising that it appears on a remote star again." Qu Tong answered without taking his eyes off the control panel.
Qu Tong has increased the defense level of the planetary protection shield to the highest level, and the air defense detection system, particle bullet defense system, infrared tracking system, etc. have all been turned on.
The distress signal was constantly trying to be sent out, and the pointer in the small window turned around and around, and it remained red.
