Since the requirements of the medicine are energy attachment and gentle absorption, it is not necessarily necessary to use such a top-tier essence that costs 20,000.
As long as we can find materials with similar pharmacology to combine, even if we slightly sacrifice some affinity to improve efficiency, as long as we can drive the cost down to a really low price, it will be an absolute steal!
Soon, Su Mo used wind-attribute spiritual herbs as the core and replaced most of the expensive materials in the potion, including the essence of wind spirit moss, with more affordable lower-grade alternatives.
However, when Su Mo put the new formula into the simulation diagram, the result of this substitution was not satisfactory.
Because the success rate of the drug plummeted to 41%.
Seeing this, Su Mo was not discouraged. He immediately dragged the node and continued to try to replace other alternative materials and adjust the proportions.
The second simulation was slightly better, with a success rate of barely 69%.
"Sixty-nine percent... that's still not stable enough..."
Seeing this, Su Mo pondered for a moment and then turned his attention to even less common materials.
Wind-blown grass, spiral cattail, floating seaweed...
It wasn't until Su Mo mixed and extracted the hairs of the floating wind algae and the green velvet worm, using the resonance of their similar properties to replace the essence of the wind spirit moss, that the success rate on the deduction chart finally returned to over 80%!
Seeing this, Su Mo perked up and continued to revise the material proportions.
Current success rate: 81.4%.
Current success rate: 87.9%.
Current success rate: 90.2%.
Seeing the success rate of 90.2%, Su Mo took a deep breath and stopped adding more.
To further increase the success rate, it would be necessary to add high-level materials, which would contradict the original intention of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
Ninety percent, while not as good as the original potion experience, is enough for the average beast tamer.
Most importantly, Su Mo has managed to reduce the cost per dose of this formula to 473 yuan!
Taking into account subsequent marketing, logistics, and a reasonable profit margin, I can definitely set the price of this version at around three thousand yuan.
With a total price of three thousand, divided into installments of one thousand each, it's a price that ordinary students and lower-level beast tamers can afford if they grit their teeth.
As for the original potion formula, Su Mo naturally had no intention of keeping it hidden.
One is for ordinary beast tamers, and the other is specially for wealthy beast tamers.
In this way, I can completely dominate the market and make a steady profit from two sources!
It allows ordinary beast tamers to evolve while also allowing them to comfortably plunder the wallets of the wealthy.
Thinking of this, Su Mo stroked his chin and quickly named the two recipes:
【Wind Spirit Affinity Potion - Ultimate Edition】
【Wind Spirit Affinity Potion - Standard Version】
After finalizing the dual-track plan, Su Mo was not tired from not having slept all night; on the contrary, he was full of energy.
Next, Su Mo went to the potion mixing area, took out the existing basic materials from the materials cabinet, and bought some Wind Spirit Moss Essence and Floating Wind Algae through the academy's internal expedited channels.
As the time came to 6:30 in the morning, after some preparation, the two vials of medicine were placed on the experimental table.
The left-hand premium version has a clear, light blue color, like a piece of liquid jade.
The color of the standard version on the right is slightly muddier, appearing as a dark cyan.
If you look closely, you can faintly see a layer of green fuzzy sediment at the bottom of the bottle.
Su Mo took samples and placed them into the testing instrument.
【Wind Spirit Affinity Potion - Ultimate Edition】
[Drug stability: High]
[Wind attribute affinity increase: estimated at 18%–23%]
[Safety: High]
……
【Wind Spirit Affinity Potion - Standard Version】
[Pharmacological stability: Good]
[Wind attribute affinity increase: estimated at 11%–16%]
Safety: Good (a slight tingling sensation may occur on the skin when taking it)
Looking at the test results on the screen, Su Mo smiled with relief.
The system's single-use potion was thus deduced by the system using a simulation diagram to create two formulas that could be mass-produced!
"Next, we'll have Qinglong and the other green worms take the medicine and see how it goes..."
Just then, the morning sunlight streamed into the laboratory through the window, and the faint sound of footsteps could be heard outside.
Fugui, who had been sleeping on the sofa, yawned, groggily got up, and rubbed against Su Mo's feet a couple of times.
Feeling the sensation in his leg, Su Mo mustered his last bit of strength, patted Fugui's head, and prepared to feed the medicine to Qinglong.
But the moment Su Mo got up, his nerves, which had been tense all night, suddenly relaxed, and a feeling of exhaustion surged up like a tsunami!
Su Mo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and he slumped into the chair, the medicine in his hand falling to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Fu Gui was momentarily stunned, but the next second he used gravity to lift the medicine and place it back on the experimental table.
"Wang!"
Looking at the potion he had successfully caught, Fugui turned his head and looked at Su Mo expectantly, waiting for him to praise him. But when he turned his head, he found that Su Mo was already fast asleep.
Chapter 76 This is the kind of green worm we know!
"Awoo!"
Fugui, feeling wronged by the lack of response, then obediently lay down at Su Mo's feet, acting as his bodyguard.
After an unknown amount of time, when Su Mo opened his eyes, it was already noon.
"call……"
Feeling the hunger pangs in his stomach, Su Mo stretched and yawned.
Su Mo slept incredibly well, the feeling of all the fatigue accumulated overnight being swept away was much better than taking off!
"Senior Su, you're awake."
Just then, a soft voice came from beside me.
Su Mo turned his head and saw Lin Zhixia looking at him with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Fugui and Zhaocai were eating heartily together.
Looking at Lin Zhixia in front of him, Su Mo rubbed his sleepy eyes in surprise and asked, "Junior Lin? What brings you here?"
"I didn't see Senior Su all morning, so I was a little worried and came to check on him."
Lin Zhixia held up the takeout box in her hand and shook it, then smiled and said, "I heard from Zhao Cai's translator that Fu Gui said you slept here all morning. Here, I brought you lunch. Eat some while it's hot."
"Thank you, Junior Lin."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took the takeout box and started eating.
Seeing Su Mo wolfing down his food, Lin Zhixia asked curiously, "By the way, Senior Su, what were you busy with last night? How come you didn't even have time to go back to your room and just fell asleep in the control room?"
"Oh, I was thinking about the wind affinity of the Green Velvet. I suddenly had a flash of inspiration last night and did a little experiment."
Su Mo glanced at the two vials of medicine, one clear and one cloudy, on the table without making a sound, and casually brushed them off.
Su Mo did not explain the details of the potion. After all, if others knew that he had developed a potion that could increase the wind attribute affinity of insect-type pets in just one night, they would not only be considered geniuses, but would also be sent to the experimental table for dissection and research.
Therefore, even though Su Mo and Lin Zhixia had a good relationship, Su Mo didn't say it out loud.
"So that's how it is."
Seeing that Su Mo didn't want to say more, Lin Zhixia sensibly didn't ask any further questions, got up and left the control room: "Then, Senior Su, you can eat slowly. I'll go check on the machines for Senior Lu and the others. They and Senior He have been outside receiving the new experimental tables all morning, and they should be done moving them soon."
Watching Lin Zhixia leave, Su Mo put all the medicines on the table into the safe.
Su Mo did not intend to reveal the matter of the potion now, since the green velvet worm had not yet fully stretched and its body could not withstand the wind energy.
On the other hand, they need a plausible "research and development process" to cover their tracks.
It would be more reasonable for him to announce the successful development of the drug once the body of the velvet worm had stretched sufficiently.
"However, I could discuss theoretical directions with Professor Sun privately this afternoon..."
Su Mo stroked his chin, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
Professor Sun is a leading figure in academia. Having a conversation with him first will serve as a strong endorsement when we present the complete formula later.
After finishing lunch, Su Mo wiped his mouth and went into the laboratory.
At this moment in the laboratory, Lu Junfeng and He Ya were directing the staff in the equipment room to place forty-nine Raten tactile stretching tables in place.
"Director Su, are you finished eating?"
Seeing Su Mo walk over, Lu Junfeng wiped his sweat and smiled, boasting, "Forty-nine machines! The equipment room worked through the night to get them all done, not a single one missing!"
