Fang Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"What good news?"
Ma Fuxiao scratched his bird's nest hair, "I just thought of a new approach. Based on my calculations, the feasibility of this approach is as high as ninety-nine percent. If this approach is correct and the experiment succeeds, the potion I replicate will be able to create a peak Level 12 powerful individual!"
Fang Xin said, "Then what are you waiting for? Start the experiment!"
Ma Fuxiao scratched his bird's nest hair again, "But before that, I need to tell you something!"
"What is it?"
"The cost of this single potion might be extremely high. The cost of one potion could even reach one billion!"
Before Fang Xin could speak, Huang Dabao was the first to say, "How much? One billion? Are you kidding me? How much wealth does the Seven Killings Sect have? We've already spent several hundred million these days on all these bottles, jars, and strange instruments for you. One billion for one potion?"
Fang Xin kicked Huang Dabao, then turned to Ma Fuxiao and asked, "What's your success rate?"
"One hundred percent!" Ma Fuxiao said with great certainty.
Fang Xin raised an eyebrow, "One hundred percent? Are you that sure?"
Ma Fuxiao said confidently, "I've done many experiments; there won't be any problems! I can give you a military pledge!"
Fang Xin's eyes gleamed. If they could truly create a peak Level 12 powerful individual, investing one billion would not be a loss at all. The revenue brought by a Level 12 powerful individual would be far more than one billion.
"Go ahead and do it boldly! You don't need to worry about the money!" Fang Xin reassured Ma Fuxiao.
Huang Dabao stood by helplessly, "Boss, you don't know the cost of living because you're not in charge. We might not have that much capital! Most of our assets are fixed assets; we can't gather one billion in cash!"
Fang Xin said without hesitation, "Count it up, how much more do we need? I still have some spare cash, and I'll cover the remaining deficit!"
After all this time, Fang Xin had killed so many people, and he had accumulated a lot of cash from the spatial rings of those enemies. For example, the cash in Jiang Weiqi's ring from the church, whom he had killed earlier, was over one hundred million, and various gold bars and jewelry could also add up to over one hundred million, plus Fang Xin's own one hundred million in cash.
Adding everything up, Fang Xin's personal piggy bank could gather seven to eight hundred million.
Moreover, Fang Xin was also cultivating a nascent soul fruit tree in the God and Demon Ruins, which was his money tree.
Huang Dabao took out his phone and pondered for a long time, "Excluding daily expenses and such, we can still gather over four hundred million."
Fang Xin waved his hand, "Okay, I'll cover the rest!"
Huang Dabao looked at Fang Xin eagerly. As the old saying goes, 'killing and arson bring wealth, building bridges and mending roads leave no bones.' Huang Dabao knew exactly how Fang Xin got his money. It had to be said, it was easy for Fang Xin to make money.
With Fang Xin backing him, Ma Fuxiao immediately excitedly directed people to conduct the experiment.
The roaring sound of the experimental machine emanated, making Fang Xin's head buzz. Each time this machine operated, it consumed a large amount of energy.
【At this point, I hope readers remember our domain name 101𝓴𝓪𝓷.𝓬𝓸𝓶】
Fang Xin quietly watched Ma Fuxiao direct. If the experiment succeeded, it would officially create the first Level 12 powerful individual.
With this Level 12 powerful individual as a cornerstone, it would be easy for the Seven Killings Sect to expand its territory. This was like a management simulation game; the Seven Killings Sect would eventually rise.
Fang Xin waited until dusk.
The huge roar of the machine gradually subsided, but there was still a buzzing sound in his ears, as if his earwax was being pushed back and forth.
Fang Xin gently patted his ears and looked at Ma Fuxiao, who was observing the experimental results.
A few minutes later, Ma Fuxiao turned around and excitedly waved his arms at Fang Xin, "It's a success! I succeeded!"
Fang Xin blew on his bangs and also showed a smile.
Huang Dabao let out a breath, "Damn it, after throwing in so many billions, we finally got some results."
Looking at Ma Fuxiao running over, Fang Xin's heart bloomed with joy. It was true that knowledge was the primary productive force, and bringing this Ma Fuxiao along was absolutely the right decision.
"This is just a preliminary replication of Mr. Fang's potion; it's still a bit short of a hundred percent replication! But once the Level 12 powerful experimental subject is created, I can observe exactly where the difference lies through the experimental subject," Ma Fuxiao explained to Fang Xin.
"How long will the first potion take?"
Ma Fuxiao said to Fang Xin, "As fast as a week, as slow as half a month."
"That long?"
Ma Fuxiao said helplessly, "Because the whole process is inherently slow, and without a handy assistant, many detailed operations have to be done by me personally. But please rest assured, during this time, Mr. Huang has found me a few assistants, and I am currently training them. After a while, they will become proficient, and the speed will be much faster once they get the hang of it."
Fang Xin nodded. He had originally thought he could wait for the potion to be made and see the results, but now it seemed he had to wait longer.
Having invested his personal piggy bank, Fang Xin instructed Huang Dabao to fully cooperate with Ma Fuxiao, ensuring that whatever Ma Fuxiao needed was provided.
After staying in the experimental base for a while, watching the busy Ma Fuxiao, Fang Xin held a notebook in his hand, which recorded the production process of Honghuang No. 1 by Professor Shang, which many people were contending for.
He would first let Ma Fuxiao focus on the potion here, and when the time was right, he would let Ma Fuxiao work on Honghuang No. 1.
Leaving the experimental base, Fang Xin, led by Huang Dabao, went to conduct another round of divine blessings for the newly recruited members.
Xiao Se Pi was summoned by Fang Xin and stood beside him. The little fellow swayed his head, looking quite adorable, but his nature was hard to change. Whenever he encountered someone good-looking, he would definitely act cute and then be picked up to openly take advantage.
This Xiao Se Pi's combat power advancement speed was quite fast, steadily improving his strength daily through god and demon marrow.
Fang Xin stayed at the Seven Killings Sect for a while before returning to the Ninth Division headquarters.
There weren't many major tasks during this period, mostly trivial matters. Fang Xin had his small teams handle them. Currently, the focus of all forces was primarily on the war in the North.
Once the North fell, and the Eternal Night Army broke through the northern defense line, what would be lost would not just be the dozen or so cities on the border; the Eternal Night Army's southward march would be unstoppable.
News from the front lines indicated that the church, under pressure, had finally transported its superweapon. The decisive battle in the North was imminent.
However, it was not ruled out that the Eternal Night Army might go crazy. If the Eternal Night Army fought to the death like madmen, then more troops would have to be sent to the North, and the Ninth Division, where Fang Xin was, would certainly send personnel as well.
Gong Siyuan, the Deputy Director of the Ninth Division, had been extremely busy these past two days, but hard work paid off. He finally found out that the one Nine Underworld had found was Judge Number Two.
However, according to the intelligence found, both Judge Number Two and Judge Number Eleven were missing, and Nine Underworld was also looking for them now.
Gong Siyuan decisively called a meeting.
Seeing everyone present, Gong Siyuan gently tapped the table with his pen.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. Old Master Wang's conjecture was not false. Nine Underworld indeed had a Judicator before, that Judicator was Judge Number Two, who, along with Judge Number Eleven, was a pair, both existing to judge the King of Reincarnation! But the latest intercepted news indicates that something also went wrong on Nine Underworld's side. Both Judge Number Two and Judge Number Eleven are missing! They were intercepted by a third-party force, or perhaps by some terrifying entity!"
"So, our current task is to find out by all means who intercepted these two Judicators!"
"Now, everyone, speak your minds and think about how we can find clues about the other party!"
Everyone frowned, and some also offered their ideas.
Gong Siyuan gently tapped the table with his fingers, his gaze falling on Fang Xin. Gong Siyuan smiled softly at Fang Xin.
"Fang Xin, you are the youngest here. Young people have flexible minds. Tell us your thoughts, broaden your thinking. Who do you think intercepted the two Judicators!"
