My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 111: Picking Up by Both Ears

"Do you have a way to enable commoners with insufficient aptitude to awaken?"

"No."

All-Knowing was taken aback.

He had been somewhat skeptical, but he hadn't expected such a forthright response.

"However, right now there is indeed none, but in the future, who can say?"

Grey Blade tossed over a bottle of potion.

All-Knowing fumbled to catch it, "What's this?"

"An Awakening Potion, more effective than the best version available at the Lindong Sanctuary."

The potion was orange-red. All-Knowing swirled it gently, then stared intently at the changes in the liquid.

As a high-end information consultant, he prided himself on his discernment.

He had seen many Awakening Potions, and he had taken the best one from Lindong. Potions could be faked, but certainly not to deceive his eyes.

Observing the viscosity, color, and other properties of the liquid, All-Knowing then took out a flashlight. Shining the light on it, the potion shimmered.

A few minutes later, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's indeed a genuine Awakening Potion, and judging by its quality, it seems even better than the highest-grade potion from the Lindong Sanctuary."

He knew the quality of Lindong Sanctuary's potions all too well, no exaggeration to say that they were the culmination of the science academy's many scientific breakthroughs.

The advanced versions had almost reached the peak, but now, upon comparison, even their color seemed inferior to this vial's.

That meant using this kind of Awakening Potion, the chances of a commoner awakening were higher, and for those with the requisite aptitude, nearly a hundred percent success rate was achievable.

However, All-Knowing was aware that having already taken the advanced potion from Lindong without awakening meant his aptitude was probably the poorest of the poor, thus even if he were to take this higher-end Awakening Potion, the chances of awakening were slim.

Yet the implications revealed by this potion's existence demanded his attention.

Regardless of who the other party was or what background they had, the ability to develop a higher-quality Awakening Potion spoke volumes of their strength.

Perhaps in the future, enabling theoretically unwakeable commoners to successfully awaken might also be achievable.

Originally feeling strong resistance and even anger, All-Knowing now could only look at Grey Blade with a complex expression.

...

Lord's Castle.

Tang Yu sat at his desk, fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard.

He was drafting a comprehensive guide to cultivating medicinal plants.

Recently, he had opened up a new farm in the valley behind the mountain for the cultivation of medicinal plants. These plants were either mutations of pre-apocalypse herbs or had appeared post-apocalypse; like the Fleshy Fragrant Grass, with extraordinary medicinal effects, they vastly differed from pre-apocalypse herbs.

They could even be considered spirit herbs.

Cultivating these herbs required specialized knowledge.

Tang Yu had just transplanted yesterday's harvest of Fleshy Fragrant Grass to the newly opened Second Layer farm. Of course, he couldn't do everything himself; it was essential to train a team skilled in the cultivation of medicinal plants.

This cultivation guide was based on the basics he had gathered from his study of Pharmacy, formatted to be useful for growing medicinal plants.

Knock knock knock.

The sound of knocking came.

"Come in."

Chen Haiping opened the door.

"Director, I've found some survivors with planting experience, as you requested. However, after talking to them, only one has experience with planting medicinal plants, and their experience hardly helps when it comes to the distinct characteristics of post-apocalyptic herbs."

His tone conveyed concern.

He had also visited the plant cultivation farm and, even with the names and characteristics of the medicinal plants provided by Director Tang, he found it challenging to distinguish between them.

Before the apocalypse, the properties of medicinal herbs and the methods of cultivation were all summarized bit by bit, but now these medicinal herbs are completely new, with no prior planting experience. Even if they are planted in the soil specially prepared by Director Tang, there are likely many that will die due to improper cultivation methods.

"I've already considered this point. After all, compared to ordinary crops, these herbs are a tad more delicate. But that's alright. After you print out this 'Complete Guide to Herb Cultivation' and distribute it to the survivors responsible for the herbs, we don't need to achieve a 100% survival rate. As long as we can harvest the majority, that will be enough."

Chen Haiping still had a face full of doubts when he went to print the information with the USB drive.

Director Tang also understands botany? Pharmacognosy?

But then he was stunned when he saw the printed information.

Although he couldn't understand the content, the information was very detailed, including the characteristics of each type of herb, methods of cultivation, and what issues to pay attention to—all clearly written.

It couldn't possibly be made up; to fabricate such detailed and complex content just wasn't possible.

That is to say, Director Tang, upon discovering those medicinal herbs, had figured out how to cultivate them in just a matter of days?

...

After sorting out the issue with cultivating the herbs, Tang Yu left the castle and went to the research institute.

This time, he wasn't there to deduce or develop blueprints but purely to complete an observation experiment.

He was now Researcher Tang.

The research institute covered the most extensive area among all core buildings, with many rooms inside. Tang Yu pushed open the door of one such room only to hear cooing noises.

Inside the room, a white rabbit was enclosed in a transparent glass dome, staring with wide eyes and occasionally bumping into the side of the enclosure.

This was a Mutated Rabbit, possessing the strength of the First Layer of Awakening. However, the dome in the research institute was also special. When the little white rabbit bumped against it, it rebounded with a bang then tumbled down, splashing a considerable amount of liquid from its base.

The liquid was the Body Tempering Liquid, freshly prepared yesterday, and the rabbit was the subject he had chosen to test the effectiveness of the liquid.

As a potion produced by the system, in theory, its quality was guaranteed. But given that it was for his own use, Tang Yu, being extra cautious, decided to experiment with it first.

The unfortunate Mutated White Rabbit had fallen into his clutches.

At this moment, it was baring its teeth at him from inside the dome.

Seeing this situation, Tang Yu was reassured.

From last night until now, the Body Tempering Liquid stored inside had mostly been absorbed by the Mutated White Rabbit, and the fact that it was still lively suggested that the liquid posed no problems.

The blueprints were fine, and the medicinal herbs used were mostly fine as well.

Of course, this was just a preliminary conclusion.

Tang Yu opened the dome and grabbed the rabbit by its ears.

The Mutated Rabbit struggled non-stop mid-air, its short legs kicking in every direction, showing quite some strength. But under the power of Lord Tang, who had reached the Fifth Tier of Awakening, such struggles seemed feeble.

While holding the rabbit, Tang Yu took out a diamond-shaped Crystal Stone the size of an egg.

[Basic Reconnaissance Crystal]: Can be used to detect detailed information about the target, including strength, weaknesses, talents, and more.

This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

As a cousin to the detective lens, this type of Reconnaissance Crystal was likewise incredibly useful.

The diamond-shaped stone flickered with light and soon, various pieces of information emerged on its surface, including very specific data.

Tang Yu observed it for a while and figured it out.

The Mutated Rabbit, whether in terms of muscle explosiveness or strength, had noticeably improved compared to before.

This was obviously the doing of the Body Tempering Liquid, matching the system's description exactly.

"So how should this Mutated Beast be dealt with then?"

Tang Yu looked at the Mutated White Rabbit as it continuously struggled while being held mid-air...

Little white rabbit, pure and bright, skinned and roasted makes a tasty bite.

Just thinking of it made it seem delicious.

The Mutated Rabbit, suspended in mid-air, suddenly felt a profound chill, a great sense of dread washing over it, causing its short legs to kick about even more frantically.
