Chapter 23 - Chapter 23 The Power of Serum

"Old Wei, what do you think?"

Rocky already had a general understanding of the enhanced effects of the super soldier, but he still wanted to hear Lao Wei's thoughts. After all, Lao Wei should have studied these data in advance during the two hours he was transformed.

"It's an astonishing improvement, and it's comprehensive. Based on your description and the data presented, if nothing unexpected happens, this will be a groundbreaking potion, even enough to change the ecology of an entire city. It all depends on how you use it."

Lao Wei gave a very high evaluation, even higher than Rocky's expectations, which made Rocky a little confused.

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Seeing Rocky's confusion, Lao Wei stretched out his finger and pointed at a piece of data on the terminal.

"The key lies in its unprecedented development of the human brain and strengthening of nerves, as well as its improvement of the body's resilience and tenacity."

Hearing the key words "brain" and "nerve" in Lao Wei's words, Rocky instantly understood what Lao Wei wanted to express.

"What you're saying is that injecting the soldier serum can improve the body's ability to withstand cybernetics?"

Lao Wei nodded.

"That's right, and the improvement is enormous. By strengthening the brain, the body's resistance to the mental erosion caused by prosthetics can be greatly enhanced.

Coupled with the improvement of body functions, nerves become more resilient, which can further prevent the erosion of nerves by prostheses, greatly reducing the possibility of cyberpsychosis.

At the same time, the enhancement of physical strength will also allow the user to withstand more powerful and more dangerous prosthetics."

Originally, Rocky thought that this was just an ordinary enhancement potion, but he didn't expect that a wonderful chemical reaction would occur in the context of cyberpunk.

"It looks like this thing is going to cause quite a stir." Rocky sighed.

A small serum can produce a soldier who can install a powerful modified prosthesis. No talent or foundation is required, and there is no need to consider the risk of cyberpsychosis.

Even if the enhancement is limited, it doesn't mean that anyone who is injected with the serum can reach the level of Adam's Hammer or even V, but there is no problem in installing a few military-grade prostheses.

If those big companies were allowed to obtain these serums, Rocky had no doubt that they would produce a Legion of David, and it would not even be impossible for them to find talented people to form an Adam Hammer Squad.

However, Rocky would not give them such an opportunity. It was precisely because the effect of the serum was too strong that Rocky became more determined to make a castration version of the potion.

Otherwise, those companies would definitely try their best to monopolize all serums and reagents to produce their own transformed maniac soldiers.

"So it seems so. So what are your plans? Do you want to try getting a prosthetic? It just so happens that I haven't sold my prosthetic yet. You've been eyeing it for a long time, haven't you? It's one of the best things in Night City."

"Denaras Anweistan Type 4, that's a good choice."

Rocky knew that Old Vina had a Sian Westin prosthesis, and it was one of the best products in Night City. Rocky had been thinking about it before, but in the end he found that he did not have the ability to install it. Simply put, its reaction properties were not enough.

But now that it can be installed, Rocky hesitated. Although the Sian Westin is very powerful, the model that Lao Wei has is the highest-end one.

But with the arrival of the system, Rocky has a higher goal in choosing prosthetics.

["Origin Project: Annihilation" series - Tyrant operating system]

Looking at the Project Cyborg worth 300,000 Euros in the module store. As Project Corporation's strongest weapon, one of its trump cards against Project Iron Man, this super-cyborg, derived from Project Crocodile, is Rocky's target.

Although changing prostheses in Cyberpunk can be considered very convenient, they are prostheses from two different worlds after all, so there will be some differences.

If there is any inconsistent connection between the nerves of the two prostheses, resulting in the loss of a nerve segment, then the situation will be serious. Even if it can be repaired through nanosurgery, it will take a lot of time.

After much hesitation, Rocky decided to reject Lao Wei's proposal. After all, there was no turning back once the knife was cut.

For Rocky, the goal of 300,000 euros is actually not far away from him. He believes that once the super soldier serum is put on the market, a lot of money will follow.

"Thanks, Lao Wei, but forget it. I don't plan to install prosthetics for the time being."

Lao Wei was not surprised to hear Rocky's refusal.

"You're still the same. Well, I'll be leaving now. Take some time to adjust to your health, and remember to contact me if anything happens."

"Wait a minute, Lao Wei, don't you want to have a shot before you leave?"

Rocky shook the blue serum in his hand towards Lao Wei.

"Why would I need this thing? I don't have to run around fighting all day, and I don't have anything on me." Lao Wei shook his head, indicating that he was not very interested in the serum.

"That's not right. This thing has so many benefits. Besides strengthening the body, it can also slow down aging and increase lifespan. I don't want to attend your funeral so early."

As Rocky spoke, he began to debug the equipment, seemingly not giving Lao Wei any chance to refuse.

In desperation, Lao Wei asked Rocky to inject him with the super soldier serum.

As the injection was completed, Rocky smiled sincerely as he looked at Old Wei, who looked much younger.

"It turns out that you have to experience it yourself to feel the magic of this thing."

Old Wei, feeling the surging power in his body, couldn't help but sigh.

...

After sending Old Wei away, Rocky began to study the weakened version of the super soldier serum.

[Working Super Soldier Serum]

[A semi-finished product of the Super Soldier Serum. It has the same strengthening effect as the Super Soldier Serum, but it will turn the user into an ugly monster.]

"Isn't this the same thing Red Skull uses?" Rocky grumbled inwardly as he looked at the description given on the analyzer.

After disposing of this serum, Rocky devoted himself to the research of serum again.

...

With the experience from the previous time, this research became relatively smooth.

[Advanced Soldier Serum (50%)]

[A derivative of the Marvel Universe's Super Soldier Serum, which enhances the user's metabolic function and all bodily functions.

A weakened version of the Super Soldier Serum, retaining only 50% of its original potency.]

Without spending too much on materials, Rocky found the version he wanted.

Looking at the advanced soldier serum in his hand, Rocky nodded with satisfaction. The cost of producing a unit of advanced soldier serum is about 3,000 euros.

Rocky plans to sell it for 20,000 euros. Considering the value of the serum, there is naturally no problem.

But Rocky was worried about whether those clinics were willing to spend 20,000 euros to purchase an untested drug. After all, Rocky couldn't provide them with samples this time.

Fortunately, he has already gained a good reputation from his previous stimulants, and someone should choose to be the first to try it.

If all else fails, Rocky can seek cooperation with the Animal Gang or a company. As long as he shows enough sincerity, Rocky believes he will get a large order.

Once he earns enough money for the Project cyborg, perhaps he won't have to be so timid anymore.
