Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Chapter 169 The Immortal Potion

"Bang~"

The little cricket started firing, and even though Zhao Hao was in a horse stance, the recoil pushed him back half a meter.

The Mysterious Bureau made three of these, and then stopped production.

The pursuit of power has led to other major drawbacks. First of all, it consumes too much spiritual energy; basically, one shot will turn a superhuman into an ordinary person.

While the energy consumption could be supplied by psionic beads or psionic machines, the other drawback—the excessive recoil—was difficult to manage. A black-clad agent weighing 150-160 pounds could be thrown three or four meters backward by a single shot.

Some people ask, why not put it on psionic machines?

If it were applied to psionic machines, there would be many more options. The little cricket's only advantage would then be negligible.

It was developed as an extreme individual weapon, but very few people can actually use it. There's a fear that if you fire a shot, you might miss the enemy and end up breaking your own arm.

Zhao Hao waited until the goat-man turned around and was caught off guard before firing his shot.

With a single shot, a psionic bullet the size of a washbasin slammed into the goat-man's psionic barrier, shattering it like glass.

However, that barrier was quite effective. When the weakened psionic bullet hit the goat-man's back, its power was greatly reduced.

The goat-man was blasted four or five meters away, his back burned, but he could still scream with great confidence, which speaks volumes.

Zhao Hao used the Iron Tree Arcane Staff to recover some energy, then drank a mouthful of Sun Magic Bottle, feeling his spiritual energy fully restored.

The goat-man, driven to the brink of despair, unleashed his potential. Enduring excruciating pain, he got up and, taking advantage of the obstruction of the lustful smoke between Zhao Hao and his companion, limped away.

Zhao Hao extended his sword finger, and with a "thud," two bone teeth pierced through the goat-man's left thigh. Blood spurted out!

"Ahhhhh!" The goat-man collapsed to the ground, wailing and crying in agony once more. "Ah, my leg is broken! My leg!"

However, he hadn't given up on surviving and was still crawling on the ground with his arms and one leg.

"What a persevering sheepman!" Zhao Hao couldn't help but praise.

The next second, the shadow dog Wangcai emerged from under the goat-man and bit the goat-man's intact leg.

With a "snap," the goat-man's calf was bitten off by Wangcai!

"Ahhhhhh, my leg is broken! My leg!"

As if enraged by the excruciating pain, the infernal bloodline within the goat's body began to boil, its entire face began to twist and transform into a demon, and its spiritual energy also surged!

Is this a near-death breakthrough? A protagonist-only event!

"Hmph, a last gasp before death."

As soon as Zhao Hao finished speaking, Orange, who had slipped out of the Goat Man's private space, leaned against the door frame and flicked his wrist. A semi-transparent hook drew a perfect arc and passed over the Goat Man's crotch.

The goat-man suddenly felt a chill in his groin, followed by a surge of heat.

He suddenly froze, even his Hellfire transformation was interrupted, and then he blankly reached down to his crotch, only to find his hand covered in blood and a...

"Uh..." This time, he didn't let out a strong scream. Instead, he gasped for breath, his face pale, and his eyes froze.

The goat-man, who was incredibly tenacious and refused to give up on survival even when severely injured, finally lost his will to live when faced with all three legs broken.

He collapsed to the ground with a thud, tears of blood streaming down his face.

Goat Man: I just want to sleep with more women, what's wrong with that?!

Nanaya Saki, who was walking out of that door, calmly drew the sword from her waist. With a wave of her hand, as if a phantom had flashed by, the sword had already beautifully returned to its sheath.

Two seconds later, a red line suddenly appeared on the goat-man's neck, followed by a gush of blood, and the blood pressure made his head roll quite a distance...

The goat-man died, and Zhao Hao and his two companions rescued eight imprisoned women.

But why are there still three women who seem unwilling to leave, and they even asked where the man is?

Holy crap, do you guys have Stockholm syndrome? Are you addicted?

What? Super strong? You don't mind sharing with other women? One person can't handle that?

Is that goat-man that strong?

Then, while Zhao Hao and the others were arguing, Orange found the Goat Man's secret collection room.

Besides some psionic metal coins and US dollars, there were also some materials and books from the underworld, especially some books about hell, as many as seven or eight of them.

If these books were to fall into the real world, they could very well distort the minds of ordinary people who read them, making them interested in black magic and hellish demons, or even leading them to embrace Satanism or gain access to forbidden knowledge.

This thing is like a flyer from hell; once it's out there, victory is assured.

It might just contain information about the devil and methods of summoning him; you know, different people will see different things from this stuff. It's like a thousand different poses in the eyes of a thousand perverts.

After discussing it, Zhao Hao and the other two decided that although the operation originated from the Mysterious Bureau, the subsequent actions had little to do with them. Therefore, once the book was handed over, the benefits would naturally be divided among the three of them.

The main gains were a book on herbs and potions, recipes for several potions, elixirs, and alchemical concoctions, as well as a considerable sum of money.

There aren't many extraordinary items; the goat-man's scythe is a fake. The remaining amulets and similar items are all low-end and worthless. I plan to contact Golden Shovel to sell them in bulk.

But the biggest gain should actually be this private space.

This is a private space consisting of an extraordinary "little crystal house," covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters.

Although the security is not very good, such extraordinary items are very rare.

However, it's not easy to make a move.

Finally, Nanaya Saki said that she had randomly picked a few fun things and ignored the rest, and then withdrew from the spoils-sharing.

She is, after all, a young lady from a wealthy family; she has seen plenty of good things.

Fatty and Zhao Hao were easier to talk to; the two brothers could just divide it up.

Zhao Hao wanted the crystal room; he had an idea to try it out.

The fat man was very generous and gave away the most valuable item. Then he kept everything else.

After the silver-sheep man died, the Destiny Card System considered Zhao Hao to have completed a task: lecherous thief!

Including the points given by the goat-man and the rewards from the quest, Zhao Hao has accumulated 1302 Fate Points.

Zhao Hao was saving up for a bronze-level ten-pull!

But soon the fat man quietly called Zhao Hao aside and said with a sly look in his eyes, "Brother, I think I've discovered that slutty goat's secret!"

As he spoke, he displayed a potion recipe: the King's Unfallen Potion.

The parchment begins by stating that it was a formula developed by an old alchemist at the behest of a king in the Arabian region more than a thousand years ago. It is said that the king drank the potion and became a groom every night for a thousand and one nights!

Zhao Hao: ? ? ? This is the real origin of One Thousand and One Nights? Or is this just embellishment?

However, if this potion is really that powerful, and it managed to subdue several of the eight opponents while being in one, then it would truly be a blessing for men!

Zhao Hao was somewhat tempted; wasn't this the biggest source of wealth?!

Everyone says that women and children are the easiest to make money from, but you haven't figured out men's true nature!

You have to understand, men are still the main force in making money!

Therefore, as long as you can get them to spend money willingly, happily, eagerly, and impatiently, the phrase "making a fortune every day" is simply inadequate to describe it.

So, Zhao Hao, carrying the formula, found the witch Carrie with a smile on his face.

Nobody understands potions, so we can only entrust the witch Carrie with testing and world-wide improvements.

First, the ingredients in the formula must be simplified to those that can be produced in the real world, or at least most of them can be produced, in order to reduce costs and mass-produce them.

As for reducing the drug's effectiveness—hey, why would an ordinary person need to be that strong? Are you going to fight ten of them too? Enough is enough; they don't have a choice anyway.

Unfortunately, Carrie the witch disagreed. In fact, upon hearing Zhao Hao's purpose, she immediately flew into a rage, yelling, "You actually want me to research such a filthy potion for you! Shameless! Get out!" She almost poked Zhao Hao's eyeballs with her magic wand!

To be honest, Zhao Hao was also embarrassed. But this involved his grand plan to make money, so he didn't care about losing face.

Wealth, companionship, law, and land are no joke.

Zhao Hao smiled obsequiously, truly trying to please him by appealing to his emotions, reasoning with him, and transforming his feelings.

On one hand, it describes how the lives of many men were crushed by the weight of life, and how they dragged their weary bodies home only to have to pay their share of grain taxes.

They often fail to satisfy their wives, leading to disharmony in the family, emotional rifts, and even extramarital affairs.

They explained that as extraordinary individuals, they needed to spend countless resources to advance further, and that many geniuses were stuck at Iron 5 stars, so everyone needed to prepare early.

Carrie, you need to start saving money now!

Zhao Hao served tea, water, and cakes, showering them with compliments and sweet words.

Later, he even believed it himself, his conviction was unwavering, and he managed to persuade even the determined heart of the witch Carrie through persistent pleading.

Although she wouldn't budge on the word, she had already begun to examine the potion formula.

Zhao Hao thought there was a chance, and quickly contacted Gou Quan to ask him to find Elland Duke and see if they could acquire a small pharmaceutical company or laboratory. They could find a few people and be ready to start production and clinical trials as soon as the formula was finalized.

Upon learning of Zhao Hao and his group's actions, Gou Quan slapped his thigh in distress: "Why didn't you extract the glands from that goat-man? Weren't they supposed to be used to make aphrodisiacs?! Oh dear! Is the corpse still there?"

Zhao Hao thought to himself: Now, even making "infallible potions" has made Carrie scold me hundreds of times. If you dare to say you want to make love potions, she'll turn you into a pig and roast you on the spot.

Zhao Hao comforted him, "Brother, don't be sad. I don't think you need that thing! Your damn charm is practically overflowing from your phone screen. The readers are voting for you; you don't need this."

Upon hearing this, Gou Quan laughed and said, "You're right!"

------------

Chapter 170 Making money isn't shameful.

Gou Quan contacted Ailand Duke, the landlord's simple-minded son, who was very happy to be able to help his friend. He readily agreed, saying he would use his family connections to help them get a job at a small pharmaceutical factory.

Of course, Alan's cousin and fiancée, Adriana, also found out about it that evening.

Although she found it strange that several superhumans wanted to open a pharmaceutical factory, she personally arranged it for Alan's sake and to win over these superhuman friends.

This period coincided with a very difficult time for Aramco's economy. The golden age had just ended, economic development had stagnated drastically, and prices were skyrocketing. Many businesses and companies were struggling, and numerous factories were forced to close.

A giant like the Duke family can easily find a dozen or so companies and factories that want to attract investment and shareholdings, even if they just send out a manager.

Just pick one that seems decent and buy it for me.

Moreover, Carrie the Witch was also swayed by Zhao Hao's sweet talk.

Carrie was actually born in the real world and spent a large part of her life growing up there, until her bloodline awakened and she became a witch, at which point she was forced to move to the underworld. The process was probably not very happy.

She also runs a herbal medicine shop in the watchtower world, but she only opens it sporadically and often doesn't even open it.
