The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

You must know that in such a chaotic world where monsters are rampant, for ordinary people, money has long been like dung.

Not long after the end of the fog disaster year, except for a few countries such as Daliat and Megalica, the financial systems of other countries have completely collapsed. In such an environment, the reputation of the church is obviously much higher than that of the country.

However, even the church’s vouchers cannot cover the entire human civilized society, because when the vouchers were first issued, in order to distinguish them from secular money, the church added a little special power of belief to the vouchers as a difference. The reason why I am willing to believe in vouchers is that there are gods guaranteeing their value.

There are also some small churches that have tried to issue vouchers that do not have the power of faith, but the result is quickly unused like national coins, no different from waste paper, so some special power of faith is required to issue vouchers. As a result, the number of vouchers issued by the church has always been small, and most of them have been absorbed by governments, dignitaries, caravans, and other forces, and not many actually flow into the private market.

In addition, most governments and non-governmental businesses in various countries only use church vouchers for large transactions. Small transactions are bartered, and even factory wages are calculated with food and daily necessities instead of Coins were distributed, so the people at the bottom have returned to the most primitive state of bartering. They all exchange the necessities of life with the acquaintances around them, and the young people born after the smog disaster have no concept of money.

Food is an item that is valued by all the people, and its value is much higher than that before the mist disaster. In the underground market, food weighing four pulan can already be exchanged for an adult female slave.

Iron cabinets with locks for storing food have become a necessity for every family. Among the various cases received by the police station in Aodorine City, cases involving food accounted for almost 80 to 90% of all cases. Half of the parties were disabled and died.

Because of this, weapons and other things that can improve their combat effectiveness have become as important as food in the hearts of the people at the bottom, because they know very well that if they do not have enough self-protection strength, then even if they have enough in their hands to make them With a large amount of food for him to live comfortably, I am afraid that what awaits them will also be sudden death.

So in the folk, almost everyone carries various weapons on their bodies. Even children, as long as they can afford weapons, their parents will bring them a weapon.

However, no matter how good the weapon is, it still cannot guarantee your own safety, because in this world, not only the beasts outside are mutating, but even human beings are also starting to mutate, some of which are out of control, but some of them are Deliberately, and these people who have obtained extraordinary physiques due to mutations, and even possessed extraordinary powers, have become the envy of almost all the people. Without exception, they all hope that they can have such power one day, so that they can be in this world. A monster-infested world has the ability to truly survive.

For this reason, there are even some rumors among the folks that injecting the blood of the monster's heart can obtain part of the monster's power. There are also some businessmen who sell the blood of the monster's heart in the underground market and even the black market.

This method of injecting blood is not aimless, because it is true that some people have been injected with this blood, and their bodies have survived various rejection reactions, and have stimulated their original potential and gained extraordinary power, but more people have injected it. This kind of blood died immediately, but for ordinary people, what they can see and remember are always those successful cases, and the majority of those who failed will be ignored, so this kind of monster heart Blood is the hottest commodity in the underground market.

However, no matter how the public ignores those who died after being injected with the blood of the monster’s heart, they cannot ignore the danger of this practice. None of them will think that they are the lucky person, so they are also eager to pass some normal, And there is no dangerous way to gain supernatural power.

It's just that those paths are in the hands of the church and other extraordinary forces. Unless they are selected and favored by them, it is absolutely impossible to get any chance from them to become an extraordinary person.

However, right now, in front of everyone, the Dodd Group has shown everyone a method of obtaining supernatural power, and this method seems to be a very safe method, and the power obtained by the person who takes the potion does not seem to be Temporary, but permanent, the only flaw is that the power obtained by the user is only physical power, not that kind of magical power.

Even if there is such a defect, the effect of the potion now is enough to make all the people who witnessed it crazy. Not long after the potion was released, relevant news spread throughout Audoryn, and countless people expressed their concern. Gathered outside the Dodd Group's office building in Audorin, but this time they did not want to condemn the Dodd Group, but hoped to know from the population of the Dodd Group where this medicine can be bought , What is the price, etc. Even the political and business forces against the Dodd Group in the city couldn't sit still, and they sent people to make peace and even surrendered.

At the same time, those people and forces who knew the exact location of Sylvia also sent representatives to secretly sneak into the Aodorine IRS building, requesting to meet Sylvia, almost explicitly expressing their The purpose of coming here is for the potion that Sylvia sent someone to show.

Just like Sylvia teamed up with the blood wizard to create artificial superhumans, other forces are also looking for ways to create superhumans. In this matter, the church obviously has an advantage, and they don't need any potions And other methods, only need a pious belief, through a collective blessing ceremony, the clergy and believers of the church can gain divine enlightenment, and then master some supernatural powers, some of these powers improve the overall physical fitness, and some of them are Possess one or several low-level divine arts.

Although this method has no side effects, it also has some flaws, that is, whether the person receiving the blessing can arouse supernatural power, which is completely linked to their beliefs. If there is a slight problem with the belief, it is impossible to produce any effect, and once The sacrifice required for the blessing ceremony is very expensive. Even the Church of the Lord of the Sky can only hold it once a year at most, and other small churches even need several years of accumulation to hold it once.

In addition, the number of people participating in the blessing ceremony is not unlimited. One hundred people is almost the limit number. The quota of people is filled, but the number of people is reduced as much as possible, so as to achieve the maximum effect that the blessing can obtain.

It is precisely because of the limitations and flaws of the blessing ceremony that the churches of the true gods are also trying to find ways to create more extraordinary people, but there has been no much progress.

Now the Dodd Group has come up with a potion that can immediately produce effects for the user, and the physical fitness of the person has been improved by leaps and bounds. How can this not shock the churches, so the Sky Lord Church, the Lake As soon as the Lady Church and the Church of True God received the news, they sent people to find the old beggar who was testing the medicine, brought him back to Aodorine's Orthodox Church residence, and then checked the old beggar's body.

They quickly determined that the old beggar's physical changes were stable and permanent, not the kind of combat medicine that temporarily stimulates potential combat power during battles, and the old man's physical fitness has reached the level of a perennial training hall. The limit of the quality that the fighters can achieve made them immediately send bishops from various churches to meet Sylvia, hoping to get more definite news about the potion from Sylvia and discuss the possibility of cooperation sex.

However, Sylvia didn't see them, not even the First Witch Squad, and just left these people in the waiting room of the Internal Revenue Service.

People from the Church of True God, the Shaman Church, and other forces felt a little dissatisfied with this, but they didn't say anything. They all felt that Sylvia was deliberately venting their dissatisfaction with all the things they had encountered recently. Sylvia calmed down and met them naturally.

However, even though they knew that they would not be able to see Sylvia for the time being, none of them left and stayed in the living room all the time, because they did not want to lose their qualifications for cooperation due to their negligence.

However, these people don't know that it's not that Sylvia doesn't want to see them, but even if Sylvia sees them, Sylvia can't give them a second bottle of potion, because now she only has this one on hand. Bottle of potion.

This bottle of medicine to improve the physical fitness of ordinary people is not the result of the research of the blood wizard, but a wizard medicine refined by Leo, and the real function of this bottle of medicine is not to improve the physical fitness, but to The spiritual enlightenment potion that stimulates the extraordinary power of the Sea God Cultists is a kind of potion manufactured through the spiritual enlightenment ceremony of the Sea God Church.

At that time, Leo had refined several bottles and kept them as a trial work of a new potion formula, but what he did not expect was that this kind of potion, which was refined with the materials and methods of the sea god world, would enter the world of Velen. However, due to the changes in the power of the world, the efficacy of the medicine has also undergone a fundamental change. A spiritual medicine specially used for the clergy of the Sea God Church has now become a physical medicine that can improve the physical fitness of ordinary people in the Vinylon world. .

Although, Leo didn't know exactly how the potion underwent such an essential transformation, but the transformed potion gave him and Sylvia an idea.

The potion that Sylvia was going to show was the latest blood potion refined by Lawrence, which can cause a mutation in a person's blood. Combined with some wizard potions left by Leo for healing and stabilizing the spirit, It allows users to have a high chance of surviving the side effects caused by blood mutations, and finally gain some extraordinary power and become an extraordinary person.

However, the success rate of this potion is not 100%. Even with the support of Leo's wizard potion, in the end, less than 80% of the users can successfully survive the blood mutation, while the other users are all in the blood. The gene collapsed during the mutation, and finally mutated into a monster.

So Sylvia's idea is to select a few people from the locals to act as experimenters. As long as more than half of them can successfully become superhumans, even if there are some losers, it will not affect her in any way. Still see this potion as a savior potion.

But now with the 100% success rate of the physical potion provided by Leo, Sylvia naturally doesn't need to take the risk of using Lawrence's blood potion, and more importantly, the physical potion will only improve the user's health. A unique physique will not allow the user to gain extraordinary power and become an extraordinary person, which will weaken the hostility of many extraordinary forces.

Because those extraordinary forces that were once forced to hide underground are now able to stand in the open, and hold a lot of power, and live a life that they never imagined before, because they have mastered extraordinary power, but if everyone can use the potion to become an extraordinary person If that is the case, then the advantage that makes them masters will disappear, including the church, so although the blood potion that Sylvia took out will cause a greater sensation, it will also create more enemies. Even the Church of the Lord of the Sky, the Church of the Redemption and the Church of the Lady of the Lake, who have a good relationship with Sylvia, will stand on the opposite side of her, so the people who appear in the IRS now will not be the bishops of various churches, Sa Man and the leader of the extraordinary forces, but assassins and assassins of various extraordinary strengths.

The only question now is whether Leo can provide and develop this non-mutating constitution potion, use the materials of this world to replace the materials of Seagod's world, and the materials used should not be too expensive, because their original idea was to make this kind of medicine Medicines that only improve physical fitness are aimed at ordinary people, so that ordinary people can also afford this medicine.

In this regard, Leo is very confident, because when he was in Castle Black, Leo had already started research on similar medicines, and he also had a batch of finished medicines, which were finally used in Leo's previous medicines. See those super soldiers stationed at border posts.

Although other methods and potions were used in the transformation process of those super soldiers, the potions that finally made those super soldiers complete their overall body transformation were the experimental constitution potions left by Leo.

Now Leo still has a few bottles of mutated constitution potions on hand. He can refer to the ingredients of this potion to formulate potions with the same effect, and even weaken some effects for the stability of the potions. This is not good for him. very difficult thing.
