Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 283: Chapter 63 Young People Are Not Only

Tough, But Also Cruel! (Part 1)_2

At the very least, he had to communicate with the Serene Wizard and hear her thoughts.

But there was no rush for that.

The time and the place were not quite right.

There were more pressing matters to attend to right now.

With those thoughts in mind, Link rose to his feet and headed to the experimentation area.

The sudden movement of Link immediately drew the attention of the two female and four male Potion Development Specialists.

“Hmph!”

Having discerned Link’s actions, Viranny sneered contemptuously, “So you think being called a ‘genius’ makes you one? Let’s see how you’ll die later!” Grace shook her head at Viranny, signaling her to not speak rashly. The recent developments were quite unsettling.

A minister was appointed out of the blue yesterday, and today a Potion Development Specialist appeared.

And not just any specialist, but the renowned “Genius Potion Master” from the local side.

The one who independently developed the highly acclaimed “Super Brain-potion was certainly not inferior.

One was proficient at management and resolute in execution, while the other excelled at research with remarkable achievements.

Such arrangements indicated that the Front Line Command Post certainly had intentions towards the Potion Department.

Was the Command Post finally fed up and planning to purge them all?

If so, they needed to make alternate plans early on.

Their mission was to merely disrupt the normal operations of the Potion Department for a period of time.

They had successfully paralyzed it for a month.

That was more than sufficient to complete their task.

There was no need to further risk their concealment, lest they end up hurting themselves.

It wasn’t worth it to do so.

Upon noticing the worry in Grace’s eyes, Viranny was taken aback.

She quickly realized what Grace was worried about.

For a moment, her feelings became complex.

They needed to figure out an exit strategy soon.

Link donned a protective suit and walked straight into the innermost laboratory.

After familiarizing himself with the facilities and equipment, he began operating them immediately.

He fetched a container and extracted a few drops of water from the instant when the “seed” was watered, he then began analyzing the composition of that water.

Indeed, he did not sense any hostility or malice from Grace at the time. However, using his knowledge of Potion Studies and his “Magic Apothecary Talent,” Link instinctively felt that something was wrong with the water. If there was a problem, not only should he avoid drinking it, but he needed to figure out what the problem was.

Once he determined the issue, he could take measures to prevent it or, even better, resolve it altogether.

This led to the current scene.

The results came back quickly.

Apart from water, there was an unknown substance added to it.

Link resumed his experiment, painstakingly isolating the particles of the added substance for further tests.

Link hadn’t emerged from the lab for quite some time, which aroused Grace’s suspicion.

She gave Viranny a look, jerked her chin towards Link’s location and asked with her eyes, whether they should investigate.

Immediately, Viranny turned to look at the four male Potion Development Specialists.

From her lofty position, she gestured commands, her eyes filled with threats. The men understood, reluctantly got up, and walked towards the experimental area.

However, the door to the room where Link was, had been locked from the inside and they couldn’t open it no matter how they tried.

They knocked and yelled but received no response.

Link knew nothing about these people and trusted none of them.

Why wouldn’t he be cautious?

Ignoring the commotion outside, Link continued his testing.

Before long, the test results came out.

Link analyzed several components of the additive several times.

His gaze was fixed on an unknown component named ’?’ that he had never seen or heard of before.

AU the other components had effects like relaxing the mind, soothing the spirit, and improving sleep quality, nothing problematic, even beneficial.

However, by instinct, Link surmised that this unknown component had an enlarging effect on desires.

Especially primal carnal and reproductive desires.

“Interesting.”

Link became intrigued.

He saved several samples and continued his research on this unknown component.

Ten fast test cycles later.

He conducted all the tests his current lab conditions could support, both ordinary and unordinary ones.

Even after completing all of them, he hardly made any progress.

Looking at the thirty-plus test results filled with various data, Link decided to ponder them further.

With a thought, “Multi-Threading Thinking,” activated.

Streams of data scrambled and compared in his mind.

Lines of knowledge from Botany, Human Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology,

Potion Study, and Alchemy Pharmacy emerged.

Suddenly, Link detected a blind spot.

Link had an epiphany and understood the peculiarity of this unknown component.

As it was widely known, there were three types of “aphrodisiacs,” hormonal, anesthetic, and hallucinogenics.

But this unknown component didn’t belong to any of those three categories.

It didn’t target the human physiology, but targeted the spiritual power and will of a person.

It was incredibly stealthy and could lurk for a long time.

It also had a high incitement potential.

All it needed was a trigger to stimulate a particular change in spiritual power, disintegrate one’s will and lower their guard.

It would be terrifying if combined with hormonal or anesthetic “aphrodisiacs” at this time.

Not even to mention hallucinogens!

No wonder the four men outside seemed overdrawn.

They were all as silent as ostriches, not daring to make a peep in the presence of the two women.

So it turned out they were being blackmailed.

Link had an “Aha” moment as he figured out how the Potion Department, especially the R&D team, became dispirited so quickly.

A honey trap?

No, a continuous provocation trap!
