Chapter 7

This morning, while shaving, I accidentally cut myself on the face. I joked on my Weibo that seeing red so early in the day must mean I'm going to be popular. I didn't expect that during my evening jog, an old friend named "She Smiles Beautifully" sent me 10,000 starting coins. I also want to thank the beautiful "Qingyu" from the First Bridge, my teammates "Urban White Ding" and "Wandering Vagabond 1" from the Second Group, "Drunken Xiao Xi," and "Old Friend Frost... Tears." I also want to thank my Weibo friend "Feng's Creek Luo Xuan" and "Friend Changed to a Big Balloon" for their support. Thanks to everyone who clicked, recommended, and collected this book, as well as those who left messages in the book review section. With all of you, I feel very happy~~

Gu Ding carefully counted three times, and the amount in the account was a seven-digit number.

"More than three million, did you steal it?" Gu Ding finally reacted after a while.

"Just used a little trick, how can it be considered stealing?" There was a hint of disdain in Hai Huang's voice. "Do you remember the woman who faked her death yesterday? When she faked her death, I took the opportunity to take over not only her storage space but also her various accounts, including her financial accounts."

"Hehe, three million, enough to buy a雏鹰号 (Chu Ying Hao) small interstellar spacecraft." Gu Ding immediately thought of the small interstellar spacecraft he had always dreamed of.

"Hey, this money isn't for you to waste. Buying genetic agents requires a lot of materials, and a few million won't last long. If you want to make more money, become a pharmacist!" Hai Huang's voice came again, "This is the F-level cell enhancer production tutorial and formula. Take a good look. Buy twenty sets of the materials in the formula, as the failure rate for beginners is quite high. Your school has a compounding room, and the rental cost is much lower than outside. This kind of agent can be compounded with basic equipment. The rest is just buying materials."

As Hai Huang spoke, he transmitted the data directly into Gu Ding's brain. This method of storing data directly in the brain's memory area is something a smartwatch can't do.

The human brain is an extremely precise instrument, and even at this stage of human development, we haven't fully explored its mysteries. Directly moving data into the memory area has been tried before. Initially, it worked well, but all participants died within ten years after the experiment, without exception, from mutant brain cancer. The cancer cells appeared without warning and developed to the fourth stage in just one or two days, then the tumors burst.

"Hey, won't this storage method cause problems?" Gu Ding was a bit worried, having heard various rumors.

Sensing Gu Ding's concern, Hai Huang explained, "Don't worry, the information in the database about the brain is very detailed. My direct storage won't cause any problems. In fact, as long as this kind of storage isn't done too frequently or with extremely large amounts of data at once, it's very safe. The most important point is that once a super AI recognizes a master, the possibility of changing masters is almost zero, which you should know. From a probability standpoint, the chance of me killing you is nearly a million times lower than the chance of you successfully committing suicide."

Gu Ding shook his head helplessly, finding Hai Huang's absurd comparison speechless. But he had also heard that in the past, the SkyNet had a master, and after her master died, she didn't attach to another human for millions of years. The loyalty of a super AI is unquestionable.

Gu Ding flipped through the formula, and the prices of the materials were almost transparent. He calculated that with his previous savings, his entire fortune would only be enough to buy two sets of materials.

"Pharmacists are indeed a profession that burns money..." Gu Ding couldn't help but sigh, then began watching the tutorial.

The tutorials were all holographic 3D videos, looking exactly like being on the production site. Each step was explained in great detail, including some compounding techniques and precautions, with nothing left out.

Gu Ding watched twelve tutorials for making cell enhancers. For the same agent, different pharmacists had similar but distinct methods, each with their own characteristics. After watching the tutorials, Gu Ding fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Hai Huang, do you have the basic pharmacological data and compounding techniques?"

"I knew you would ask, so I've already prepared it for you." A moment later, Hai Huang injected this data into Gu Ding's memory area.

Gu Ding flipped through the basic pharmacology in his mind, reading it very carefully. After confirming there were no omissions, he closed it and began reading the compounding techniques.

By the time he finished, he had just arrived at the entrance of the school's experimental building.

"Hello, I want to rent a private compounding room," Gu Ding said to the building's administrator.

The administrator glanced at Gu Ding, his expression showing a hint of disdain. "Three private compounding rooms are already rented out today. If you want to use one, go to the public area. It's free there. For the agent materials, go to the second-floor agent warehouse."

Gu Ding didn't pay much attention to the administrator's attitude. Hearing that the private compounding rooms were occupied, he just frowned slightly and headed to the second floor.

"Tiger Gall Grass, Crow Tongue Flower, Red Python Bone Marrow... I need twenty sets of these materials."

"Twenty sets? These materials cost 112 star coins per set. Are you sure you want twenty sets?" The warehouse administrator was slightly surprised. If a teacher bought so many materials, he could understand, but a student's financial strength probably wouldn't be enough to bear it.

"Yes, twenty sets!" Gu Ding nodded.

Only after the warehouse administrator prepared the twenty sets of materials and Gu Ding transferred the payment did the administrator believe Gu Ding wasn't just playing around.

With the agents in hand, Gu Ding went to the third-floor public compounding hall.

The hall was empty, and all thirty workstations were cleaned spotlessly.

Gu Ding casually chose one, took out a set of agents, and arranged them on the workstation in order.

The basic steps for compounding agents are extraction, distillation, mixing, and fusion.

Extraction involves separating the parts of the materials that need to be processed from the raw materials and performing preliminary processing to extract the liquid essence. Distillation aims to remove impurities from the materials and release the medicinal properties through heating. The completeness of extraction and distillation affects the final quality of the agent. The third step, mixing, involves adjusting the proportions of the processed materials based on their medicinal properties. If this step goes wrong, the likelihood of producing a defective product is high. The final step, fusion, varies in difficulty. For simple agents, if the previous steps are done well, the final fusion is very easy. For some agents, special techniques are required to complete the fusion, and the degree of fusion also affects the final quality of the agent.

Gu Ding carefully processed each material, completing the extraction as smoothly as the tutorial taught, even keeping the time perfectly. The distillation bottles were already heated, and he placed the liquid essence into different distillation bottles. This step didn't have a precise time, as the color changes in the bottles needed to be observed. Even for the same material, the distillation time could vary significantly depending on the degree of extraction and the amount. Gu Ding didn't dare to relax, staring intently at the distillation bottles. After just a few minutes, one of the distillation bottles began to change color. Gu Ding quickly removed that bottle, but almost simultaneously, the other three bottles also began to change color.

"Damn!" Gu Ding took two distillation bottles with both hands, but the color of the remaining bottle changed in an instant. By the time Gu Ding removed it, the original sky blue had turned deep blue. "This one over-distilled, causing some of the medicinal properties to evaporate... but it's still usable."

After completing the distillation, Gu Ding began the mixing step. Compared to the other steps, he found this one the easiest because he already knew the optimal medicinal property ratios from the tutorial. He just needed to follow the ratios taught in the tutorial. After completing the mixing, he poured the agents into the final fusion cup in the order and with the time intervals specified in the tutorial.

In theory, to compound a cell enhancer, you just need to let it sit and fuse. However, in the twelve methods Gu Ding saw, twelve different pharmacists used their own techniques to accelerate the fusion. Gu Ding picked up the fusion cup and began the simplest method—shaking it clockwise. After three circles, he began shaking it counterclockwise. Repeating this, he saw the originally colored solution gradually turn a light milky white. After about three minutes, the cell enhancer in the cup had completely turned milky white. If left to sit, it would take at least an hour to fuse.

"Hehe, successful compounding, the first cell enhancer in my life." Gu Ding was somewhat excited. "Hai Huang, although there were some mistakes, from the color, it should be at least a good quality."

"I didn't expect you to have some talent. This F-level cell enhancer is of the highest quality," Hai Huang could tell the quality of the agent with just one glance.

Even within the same level, agents are divided into different qualities, from low to high: inferior, poor, qualified, good, excellent, ultimate, and perfect.

Among them, a qualified agent has the standard effect. A bottle of F-level qualified cell enhancer can increase the cell index of a first-level genetic body by 2 points. A good quality can increase it by 3 points, an excellent quality by 4 points, and an ultimate quality by 5 points. A perfect quality can increase it by 7 points.

Therefore, the prices of cell enhancers vary. A qualified agent is the standard price, a good quality agent is about twice the price, an excellent quality agent is at least five times the price, an ultimate quality agent is extremely rare and at least eight to ten times the price, and a perfect quality agent is at least twenty times the price.

A bottle of F-level qualified cell enhancer is priced at 1200 star coins on the market, while the one in Gu Ding's hand could sell for at least 10,000 star coins.

Gu Ding packed the agent and stored it in his storage space, then began compounding the second bottle. However, he didn't realize that there was a camera in the corner of the ceiling in this public compounding room...

(Here, I want to add that a friend asked why the book hasn't changed its signing status. I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't mention it. Before publishing the book, I agreed with the editor to sign the contract at 20,000 words, so I can only sign the contract tomorrow when it reaches 20,000 words. It will take at least until next Monday for the contract to reach the Qidian editorial department, and there will be some internal procedures, which might take another one or two days. The signing status will definitely change next week.)
