Chapter 5

"Mr. Lin, do you have a moment?"

A luxury car stopped in front of Lin Tai, and inside was a beautiful woman.

"I don't have time." Lin Tai paused slightly and continued walking.

The luxury car slowly followed Lin Tai: "Mr. Lin, the price we offered is already very sincere."

Lin Tai stopped and looked at the woman in the car.

"It's not that my constitution, which has only appeared twenty times in the past hundred years worldwide, can be bought for a mere 200,000 white crystal coins. If you want to buy the rights to study my body, both before and after my death, you need to pay a sufficient price."

"Mr. Lin, the price I offered is indeed lower than the market price for the Akasumi constitution, but your body has already been damaged by blue crystal radiation, significantly reducing its value. Even if you go to the antique market, you wouldn't buy a damaged antique at full price."

The woman made a good point, but Lin Tai was not convinced.

"Mr. Lin, if you are not satisfied with this price, we can discuss it further."

"I don't think asking for 500,000 white crystal coins is excessive. The market price is one million, and I am only asking for 500,000. If you cannot accept this price, then there is nothing to discuss."

"Mr. Lin, you should understand that in three months, you might not even be able to sell for 50,000. The aftereffects of blue crystal radiation will completely destroy your Akasumi cells, making you worthless."

"At that time, you will have to spend an additional 500,000 to find an undamaged Akasumi constitution. Oh, and they might not even agree to your death experiments."

"Mr. Lin, I am negotiating with you in good faith."

"The price you offered does not show good faith."

"Alright, I can see that Mr. Lin is not in a good mood. I will talk to you again in a while."

...

Lin Tai's Akasumi constitution is highly valuable for research.

Many research projects have developed powerful enhancement potions through the study of the Akasumi constitution, which are widely used by the military and have significant commercial value.

However, the Akasumi constitution is very rare and not easily obtained as an experimental sample.

Especially for someone like Lin Tai, who is in a desperate situation and willing to be a test subject, even for death experiments, such individuals are extremely rare.

Moreover, the market price of one million white crystal coins is for live experiments, and most people would not agree to death experiments.

Lin Tai, knowing his time is limited, is willing to participate in death experiments.

In his view, this is where his value lies.

Even if his life is at its end, asking for 500,000 white crystal coins is not excessive.

Lin Tai was about to push open the door to Shu Xiaobai's laboratory and bedroom.

The door opened, and Shu Xiaobai saw Lin Tai and immediately said, "Brother Tai, do you have nothing to do today?"

"My only job now is to assist with your experiments."

"Perfect, we will conduct an outdoor experiment today."

"An outdoor experiment?" Lin Tai had never heard of such a thing before.

Lin Tai followed Shu Xiaobai to an abandoned park.

This place was once the most prosperous and densely populated area in Taiyong City.

However, three years ago, during a beast attack on the city, the government arranged for the evacuation of people here.

The beast horde not only broke through the outer defenses but also rushed to the evacuation area, which was this park.

This resulted in the most severe civilian casualties in the city's 100-year history.

Since then, the area has been completely abandoned.

No one is willing to visit this park.

Of course, Shu Xiaobai doesn't care, as he cannot afford a fully equipped training ground.

Shu Xiaobai took out a device and put it on Lin Tai's wrist.

"Brother Tai, output your magic power."

Lin Tai looked at the wrist device and began to output his magic power.

The display on the wrist device immediately showed some values.

Main attribute: Fire, 95%

Secondary attributes: Earth, 3%, Wind, 2%

Magic power: 1280/1300

When Shu Xiaobai saw the magic power value, he felt a bit disheartened.

I sacrificed my post-marriage life quality, and my magic power limit is still less than half of Lin Tai's.

Is the Shengbai constitution really that weak?

Shu Xiaobai's mindset was a bit shaken.

He quietly hid the wrist device on his own wrist under his sleeve.

"Let's start today's experiment."

Shu Xiaobai took out a document, which was one of his recent research achievements.

Fire magic, Flame Ripple.

"Memorize this content and remember every step."

Lin Tai carefully followed each of Shu Xiaobai's requirements.

He felt a stirring of magic power within his body.

"What do you feel?"

"I feel something trying to come out, but it can't... How to describe it, it's like..."

"Constipation?"

"Pretty much that feeling."

Shu Xiaobai nodded, realizing it wasn't his problem; Lin Tai also couldn't do it, which means there was an issue with the magic release steps that needed to be adjusted.

The main method of releasing Flame Ripple is to release magic power from all the pores of the body.

The magic power ignites upon contact with the air, creating a spherical ripple that spreads outward around the body.

The challenge lies in accurately controlling the release of magic power from the pores.

People are accustomed to breathing through their mouths and noses, but the pores on the skin also have the function of exhalation.

Shu Xiaobai sat down on the spot to think, making notes and adjustments to the document.

After about half an hour of revisions, Shu Xiaobai stood up and handed the document to Lin Tai.

"Try it again according to the method described."

Lin Tai looked at the document and felt there was something to it.

"Don't rush, make sure each step is absolutely accurate."

Lin Tai took a deep breath.

Magic power output control!

Magic power adheres to the inner layer of the skin.

Squeeze and seep through the skin pores.

Ignite the magic power!

Suddenly, Shu Xiaobai felt a wave of heat.

Shu Xiaobai quickly fell to the ground.

Boom—

"Ah..." Shu Xiaobai clutched his head and screamed in pain.

Lin Tai was shocked and didn't have time to be amazed by what he had just done.

He quickly ran forward to pat out the flames on Shu Xiaobai's body.

Shu Xiaobai's clothes were burned to shreds, and his body was covered in burns.

Fortunately, he was standing ten meters away, or he would have been killed.

He touched his head, which was completely burned.

"My... my hair..."

"Xiaobai... I'm sorry."

"I won't pay for today's experiment!" Shu Xiaobai roared in anger.

Even if it was his fault, Lin Tai must bear the responsibility.

"That won't do. The money must be paid. At the very least, I'll treat you to lunch."

Lin Tai, like Shu Xiaobai, was very money-conscious.

"I want a good meal."

A fool is one who doesn't take advantage of a good deal.

Both of them calmed down a bit, but Lin Tai was still in disbelief.

To be honest, although he had participated in Shu Xiaobai's experiments, he had never really believed in Shu Xiaobai's work.

There are thousands of personal laboratories around the world, which are essentially amateur scientists.

However, 99.99% of the scientific achievements come from government laboratories and major research institutions.

But Shu Xiaobai might have developed a completely new power system.

This is a significant achievement.
