Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 120 Pharmacist

Unlike the original timeline, Hong and Thor followed Qin Mu into the universe ahead of time, and learned about the bloodline hierarchy in the universe before purchasing slaves.

They also knew that Qin Mu himself was researching bloodline potions and had given Huaxia gene evolution potions for sale.

Therefore, they understand the importance of lineage even more!

A top-tier bloodline can allow someone to reach the level of a domain lord even without cultivation.

Just now, Mingyu also promised them that if Hong joined, he would receive an S-grade potion, while Thor would receive an ordinary bloodline potion.

The process of cultivation for normal humans is like building a house.

Lineage is the foundation of a house. Poor lineage means a poor foundation!

For those with inferior bloodlines, cultivation is like building a skyscraper on a foundation of inferiority. As the skyscraper grows taller, the foundation must be strengthened repeatedly to make it even taller.

How can you build a skyscraper if the foundation is not solid?

Even if it were built, the cost would be hundreds or thousands of times that of a superior bloodline!

The ninth rank of human bloodline on Earth represents a very poor foundation.

Taking the Bloodline Evolution Agent can improve one's cultivation foundation in one go, transforming it from a poor foundation to a medium foundation, or even a superior foundation.

This would be an immense temptation for any practitioner.

"Do you know who developed the Bloodline Evolution Agent?"

Seeing that the three seemed hesitant, Mingyu decided to add fuel to the fire.

"A virtual universe company?"

Qin Mu tentatively replied.

"That's right, it's Virtual Universe Corporation! The Virtual Universe Corporation with the most advanced technology in the entire human universe!"

This evolution agent is what we developed.

Mingyu's tone was somewhat arrogant.

He certainly had reason to be arrogant. As one of the five strongest forces in humankind, how could he not be proud?

"The evolution agent is manufactured by our Virtual Universe Company. It is extremely rare in the outside world, and even if you can buy it, it is priced exorbitantly."

But if you join our Virtual Universe company, our elite members can receive these benefits for free!

Qin Mu sighed inwardly; the title of "most advanced technology" was indeed well-deserved.

The fact that Virtual Universe Company's network allows people to instantly access the network from anywhere in the infinite universe is already incredibly impressive.

Any place here could encompass the entire universe, and even the dark universe.

This virtual universe can even perfectly simulate domains and laws!

It's unimaginably powerful.

This is also why Qin Mu has always wanted to join Virtual Universe Company.

Virtual Universe Company has more than just one product: Virtual Universe.

Bloodline evolution agent is just one of them.

They have many, many more similar products.

Seeing that the three were somewhat interested, Mingyu looked at them and asked with a smile.

"Would you be willing to join my Virtual Universe Company?"

Although they were tempted, all three knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world; the more others gave, the more they would want in return.

After exchanging glances, Qin Mu asked, "Mr. Mingyu, what arrangements will the company make for me after I join the Black Dragon Mountain branch?"

"In the early stages, you were weak, and the company was training you. So the management was quite strict! You needed to obey company orders, undergo training, and go through life-or-death tests, etc."

However, as your strength increases, your authority will continuously expand. From cosmic level to domain lord to world lord, the stronger you are, the greater your authority will be; you only need to do things at crucial moments.

Mingyu said directly.

"Moreover, in a few years, there will be a new round of the Peak Genius Battle, which will be jointly organized by our Virtual Universe Company and the 1008 Universe Country. With your talent and the training from the Black Dragon Mountain branch, you have a great chance of entering the top 1,000 and joining the core of the company headquarters."

If he can cultivate a genius who ranks among the top 1,000 or top 100 in the peak genius battle, he won't have to worry about resources until he becomes immortal.

"If you're weak, shouldn't you be allowed to move around freely during the training period?" Hong asked.

Thor also looked at Mingyu.

"There are holidays, the official holidays," Mingyu said solemnly. "The training period for those with weaker strength is very strict, and you must understand that! Holidays? With the virtual universe network, you can meet and chat with family and friends, so holidays don't really mean much."

Not only Qin Mu, but also Hong and Lei Shen shook their heads.

Can not accept!

Qin Mu said, "Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Mingyu, but my situation is rather special, and I cannot accept rigorous training."

"To be honest, although I have naturally strong psychic power, I am actually a pharmacist, and the bloodline evolution agent you mentioned is my main research area."

Mingyu was stunned.

"A pharmacist? You even study pharmacy? Who is your teacher?"

Earlier I wanted to tell you that you had already mastered the Metal Domain and Fire Domain at the Hengxing level, which was already a huge waste of your energy.

If you specialize in one thing, you may have reached the fifth or sixth level of the domain, or even touched the fundamental laws!

Specializing in one thing is the key to going further!

You're even researching pharmaceuticals!

A person's time and energy are limited; you're just wasting your talent by doing this!

Ming Yu was somewhat angry that Qin Mu was actually distracted by researching bloodline potions.

With such great talent, why not cultivate properly and instead study all this nonsense?

If they can't accept or stand strict management, that's fine; he can understand. After all, geniuses are like that. They've long been courted by powerful forces. Most of those geniuses are unruly and wouldn't want to be strictly managed for a long time, so many refuse.

But people like Qin Mu, who refuse because they want to study other things, are rare.

How could Mingyu know that Qin Mu, as the overlord of the swarm, could disperse his consciousness, and that even if he were to study multiple secret techniques or bloodline research at the same time, it would not be affected?

He was able to comprehend the domain so quickly because he studied the bloodline of the Golden Horned Beast and the Blazing Beast.

Otherwise, if the Golden Horned Beast were to comprehend it on its own, it would take an unknown amount of time to even begin to grasp the basics of the domain.

Luo Feng, who possessed the Golden Horned Beast's clone, only comprehended the domain after the Golden Horned Beast reached the cosmic level!

Faced with Mingyu's reprimand, Qin Mu remained silent.

Under normal circumstances, Mingyu is right, and he wouldn't reveal his special status.

"Alright! If you insist."

Seeing that Qin Mu remained unmoved, Ming Yu sighed inwardly, but did not give up and said.

"If you want to further your studies in pharmacy, you can join the pharmacy department of our Virtual Universe Company! I just don't know if you have that kind of talent in pharmacy."

"Our Heilongshan branch also has a pharmacist department, but of course, joining the pharmacist department isn't easy; you have to pass a rigorous examination!"

All that matters is being able to join the Virtual Universe Company. As the recruiter, it's not really up to him to decide which department he joins. His task is to recruit geniuses from all walks of life.

Pharmacists are one such profession.

In the universe, besides mainstream martial artists and psychic practitioners, there are also 'puppet masters' who specialize in controlling puppets, beast tamers who fight with powerful beasts, and alchemists who research various strange substances in the universe...

These are all professions that allow the weak to overcome the strong. For example, if you can tame an extremely powerful ferocious beast, you will naturally be extremely strong.

However, the unconventional paths of development in the universe also mean that the "path of the strong" is narrower and more arduous, and many who are not strong enough in their understanding of the laws would rather take these unconventional paths.

Unorthodox methods are not the way to go!

Over 99.99999% of people fail; it's safe to say that rising to prominence through unconventional methods is extremely difficult!

Pharmacists are practically 'cosmologists'.

They would study all sorts of strange substances in the universe, research the different properties of various substances, analyze and study them, and then carry out various tedious operations according to their own ideas, and finally create a potion suitable for themselves!

These medicines come in different forms and have different effects.

There are bloodline potions used to enhance one's bloodline, as well as lethal potions used in combat, and potions that assist in cultivation.

When fighting apothecaries, a flower, a tree, or even a knife you see could all be a potion.

In short, the pharmacist's "medicine" is mysterious and unpredictable.

As for their power, they vary in strength.

Even if a pharmacist knows how to make a medicine and follows the steps exactly, it is still difficult to succeed.

The production of the medicine involves far too many complexities.

Some of these potions are so powerful that even their creators themselves cannot recreate them.

Pharmacist, in short: a research-oriented warrior who studies and creates medicines from space!

For Qin Mu, he certainly wouldn't use the potion in battle, but rather for bloodline research.

In fact, Qin Mu didn't really approve of using potions in battle. In the later stages, martial artists' vitality was extremely tenacious, making it very difficult to harm them through potions.

However, when it comes to researching bloodlines, enhancing lineage, and increasing gene multiplication, the identity of a pharmacist is perfectly suited.

"Mr. Mingyu, could you please recommend a way to join the pharmacist department?"

Qin Mu asked respectfully.

"Okay, I'll make a recommendation for you. I don't know much about potions, but I have a friend who's a pharmacist. I'll have him come over and assess your approximate skill level."

If you reach the required level, I will apply for the pharmacist exam for you!

While the pharmacist department offers more freedom, there will still be training after joining!

Or you could reconsider and join the Black Dragon Mountain branch directly. It's not just about having a top-tier bloodline; I'll offer you the best conditions!

Mingyu said to Qin Mu.

In order to better join the pharmacist department of the Virtual Universe Company, Qin Mu did a lot of research.

Unlike martial artists and mentalists, pharmacists rely more on learning, knowledge, and talent.

Pharmacists cannot be trained through intensive practice and training alone.

Therefore, while both pharmacists and other members of the virtual universe company have joined, pharmacists will have much more freedom. Of course, while they enjoy freedom, they will also be subject to assessments.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Mingyu. I still hope to join the pharmacist department."

Qin Mu did not hesitate and remained resolute.

"Qin Mu wants to join the pharmacist department. What about you? If you don't want to be strictly controlled, you can also join externally. What I mentioned earlier was internally."

Seeing that he could not persuade Qin Mu, Ming Yu turned to Hong and Lei Shen and said.

"Internal members have many advantages, including stricter management. External members have more freedom, but fewer advantages."

"For example, I am an external deacon," Mingyu said with a smile. "If you become external members, although you cannot get evolution agents for free, you can still spend money to buy 'evolution agents'."

Purchase your first item at a discounted price. The price increases for subsequent purchases, and a maximum of three items can be purchased by a single external member.

"How much does it cost?" Hong asked hurriedly.

"Bloodline Evolution Agent, the first one costs 10 million Qianwu Coins. The second one will cost a whopping 1 billion Qianwu Coins."

Ming Yu said, "The Bloodline Evolution Agent is extremely rare and very expensive. Furthermore, the Virtual Universe Company strictly forbids you from selling the evolution agent. If you are found to be secretly selling it..."

"die!".

"These are some rules for becoming an external member of my virtual company. Take a look and see if you can accept them." Mingyu pointed to the screen, and a series of rules immediately appeared on the screen.
