Chapter 593: Chapter 166 Good Things Happen One After Another_2
Seeing this duo before him, irritation quickly surfaced.
Link chuckled and left Sage Selene’s office with Jasmine.
Following that, they were finally free from nagging chores.
The two resumed their unfinished research work in the Level 3 Insect World to catch up on progress.
Engrossed in numerous experiments and piles of data, Link had lost awareness of time, forgetting everything around him.
He was snapped back to reality by the nasal voice of Lokan.
The test subject, Lokan, had finally arrived at the laboratory before noon.
Link took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a jolt of excitement.
“You’re here again.”
Jasmine noticed Link’s change of mood and couldn’t help but remark sarcastically.
In these two months, much of Link’s dedication to the Potion Research Group was driven by the fact that he could legitimately subject Lokan to torture.
Literal torture!
Lokan couldn’t refuse or resist, no matter how absurd the treatment, he had to endure it all.
As long as Link could present stage-related results related to the optimization and breakthrough of the combat potion for the body-refining wizards after torturing Lokan.
“An opportunity once lost will never return. I must seize it.”
Link responded to Jasmine’s sarcasm with a smile.
He had never concealed his desire to torture Lokan.
Not only was Jasmine aware of this, but Sage Selene and even Lokan himself knew too.
“Get your current scraps done first before seeking fun.”
Jasmine did not stop Link, but simply made a not too excessive demand.
“Of course.”
Link happily agreed and accelerated his actions.
“You!”
Lokan, who was undergoing a detailed body data check under the direction of Wizard Tina, immediately greeted Link when he saw him come in.
Using just a single pronoun, he expressed his angry mood and helpless situation.
“Me what? I’m fine, how have you been lately?”
Ignoring Lokan’s angry stare, Link cheerfully replied and then walked over to Wizard Tina, asking, “Tina sis, how is our subject doing today? I have a great idea but it requires quite an intense experiment, wonder if our subject can handle it?”
Wizard Tina glanced at Link and snappishly said, “Just put a lid on it. It’s only over the past few days, while you were gone, that Lokan has been able to recover, no longer severely overworked like before.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll be gentler later.”
Link, ignoring Lokan’s angry stare, cheerfully gave an unconvincing assurance.
Jokes aside, not to mention the personal enmity between him and Lokan.
Just considering the fact that Lokan has been pursuing Sage Selene, even forcibly left the Palo Sage army, preferring to be a test subject and came to the academy headquarters.
Acting with the initiative of one who has received much care and protection from Sage Palo, Link thought he ought to do something, even if Palo himself never mentioned it.
Sage Selene observed Link’s behavior but didn’t say much.
After all, everything was Lokan’s own choice, and he should be the one to bear responsibility.
“What tricks are you up to now? Just try, even a squeak would be admitting defeat to you!”
Knowing his anger would be useless and unable to dissuade Link, Lokan could only make a show of toughness.
“Rest assured, it’s not a bad idea. This time, it won’t be painful. Plus, it will greatly benefit you.”
Link dropped then that line, turning around and leaving the check-up room.
He went to a comprehensive laboratory area reserved for body-refining wizards’ combat potion optimization and breakthrough team— the entire 3rd underground floor.
While Link was provocatively visiting Lokan in the examination room, Jasmine had already come here and started preparations work.
The experiment they were about to conduct was actually inspired by Jasmine.
Having thoroughly understood Lokan’s combat system composition, strengths and weaknesses, especially his flaws, she had been considering from an objective and neutral perspective on how to improve Lokan’s combat performance.
In the end, Jasmine suggested that instead of struggling to improve where Lokan lacked flexibility, why not maximize his strengths in strength and physique?
This idea immediately sparked inspiration in Link, bringing two creatures to mind:
King Kong and The Green Giant.
Whether it was King Kong or The Green Giant, their flexibility was definitely inferior to their strength and physique.
Since these two could roam freely based on their strength and physique.
Then so could Lokan!
As long as his constitution was high enough and his strength strong enough!
Therefore, Link had been contemplating how to drastically increase the strength and physicality of body-refining wizards represented by Lokan during combat.
Everything still pointed back to the “Empowerment” potion.
Based on Link’s early research, the “Empowerment” project popular in the Fairy World followed the path of permanent enhancement.
With slight alterations, by opting for short-term enhancement, prioritizing timeliness instead of a qualitative change, it was completely feasible.
However, the source of power to be bestowed upon the users could no longer be fairies from the Fairy World.
This time, Link chose a near extinct bull-type demonic beast from the Wizarding World.
Strong, enduring, robust, and calm – this bull-type demonic beast was most suitable for Link’s new “Empowerment” potion.
“Are you ready?”
Through the loudspeaker, Link queried Lokan, who had dutifully walked into the isolation room with extraordinary defensive abilities.
