Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 427 Testing the Potency

Sun Yue transmitted the situation back to the camp. After that, the medical team, escorted by a large number of assistants and three demon hunters, arrived beside Wen Wen.

After the old physician thoroughly examined the reaction of the patient who had drunk the yellow soup, the over two hundred assistants quickly got to work, distributing the soup from house to house with various containers.

Not knowing if the sea urchin's efficacy would diminish over time, the assistants worked quickly, completing the distribution of the soup before dawn.

It was fortunate that these infected individuals were relatively rational at night and understood that the assistants delivering medicine to them were doing so for their own good, which allowed for such swift action.

The effects of these sea urchin soups were very good. Those with less severe infections were completely cured on the spot.

As for the few particularly severe patients, their bodies had shed a large portion of their spikes, and their conditions had stopped worsening, giving the medical team ample time to treat their ailments.

According to the statistics, only less than three hundred patients remained infected with sea urchin syndrome, while the rest had escaped the ordeal of this terrifying disease.

The assistants transported these three hundred patients up the mountain and set up a temporary medical center to provide targeted treatment for the remaining patients.

Previously, with thousands of patients, the assistants were severely understaffed. However, with only three hundred remaining, they could no longer afford to leave them in the town.

Looking at the remaining three hundred people, Wen Wen was confident that by contributing the remaining six pills, he could surely cure them all.

But Wen Wen had already been generous enough by discarding eight universal pills. He intended to keep the remaining six for his own emergencies. He was not heartless towards those suffering, but he wouldn't exhaust his own resources to help others.

Moreover, their conditions had been suppressed. Wen Wen believed that the medical team was capable of curing everyone remaining. He did not interfere with the subsequent matters, as these individuals were far more professional than he was in dealing with such situations.

He stayed at the demon hunters' camp and planned to leave once the patients' conditions improved.

The accommodation here was acceptable, but as it was temporarily constructed, it lacked private bathrooms, which made Wen Wen somewhat uncomfortable. Thus, he could only close the doors and windows before entering the containment facility.

Holding the six universal pills, Wen Wen found Wei Su and showed him the pills.

"Are these what you remember as universal pills?"

Upon seeing the six small round pieces, Wei Su immediately leaned towards the cell door, his eyes filled with longing.

Wei Su was still deeply troubled by his appearance. If he could escape his monstrous, inhuman state, he was willing to do anything.

"Seeing how excited you are, these things must be real. Do you want them?"

"Yes!" Wei Su nodded quickly.

Wen Wen displayed a devilish smile and said to Wei Su, "Then you must pay something of equal value!"

Following this, Wen Wen interrogated Wei Su again. This time, the focus of the interrogation was on matters related to Wu Wang. Wen Wen wanted everything in his mind concerning Wu Wang!

He wanted to know Wu Wang's origins, abilities, social circle, and possessions!

It took Wen Wen three hours to drain Wei Su's mind. Looking at the stack of documents in his hand, Wen Wen felt a sense of regret.

Wei Su's memories were fragmented, making it difficult to extract crucial information. However, at least Wen Wen learned that Wu Wang was an extremely wealthy super-powered individual!

He possessed at least ten types of practical containment items, and countless other strange and unusual things!

Compared to him, Wen Wen seemed rather poor. If only he could rob him…

The thought of that scene was delightful, but he quickly curbed his greed. That fellow was being pursued by Ouye Water City, and Wen Wen did not want to get into trouble.

After obtaining all the information, Wen Wen implanted a chain on Wei Su. From then on, Wei Su would forever be subservient to Wen Wen's control, with no hope of ever rising again.

This was Wen Wen's first time implanting a chain on a human. The sensation was no different from implanting it on a monster. And Wei Su, as a human, would be more convenient for certain tasks.

Having temporarily extracted all his value, Wen Wen took out a universal pill and threw it to Wei Su.

Upon receiving it, Wei Su immediately swallowed it. After about thirty seconds, his complexion began to change drastically, and he started scratching his body as if enduring unbearable pain.

"The medicine takes effect in about thirty seconds, and there will be intense pain during consumption."

Wen Wen recorded the entire process of Wei Su taking the pill and became sufficiently familiar with it to avoid unnecessary trouble when he took the pills himself in the future.

Giving Wei Su the pill was not an act of kindness; its greater purpose was to test the medicine's efficacy.

This mixture of the pill and the golden sea urchin could treat the townspeople, but it might be due to the sea urchin soup's effect or a combination of the pill and the sea urchin. This did not fully prove it was a universal pill.

Wen Wen would not casually ingest something whose properties he did not fully understand, hence the need to test it on Wei Su.

Wei Su's pain lasted for several minutes. The black skin on his body began to rapidly regress into ordinary skin, and his appearance became clear. Wen Wen compared it with the ID photo on his hunter terminal and confirmed that it was indeed Wei Su.

However, when Wei Su was completely black, he did not need to wear clothes. So now…

Wen Wen politely turned around and instructed a jailer to fetch a set of clothes for Wei Su. Men's bodies were not particularly sensitive, but Wei Su's current appearance was quite an eyesore.

Even as a super-powered individual, not exercising and constantly playing games would turn one into a fat otaku. And after turning black, his constant crawling and struggling had accumulated a lot of grime.

This grime was completely invisible beneath the black skin, but upon returning to normal… Wen Wen simply couldn't bear to look.

Since Wei Su was successful, it proved that the remaining five pills in Wen Wen's hand were indeed universal pills that could cure any disease, capable of resolving five major troubles for Wen Wen.

He suddenly felt a pang of regret for the eight pills he had thrown into the sea urchin. If he had a total of thirteen pills now, how good would that be…

However, Wen Wen only felt a moment of heartache and had no regrets. Since they were used to save lives, they were not wasted.

Just as he was about to put these pills into a medicine bottle, Wen Wen looked at the small pills in his hand and suddenly froze. He felt a sudden urge to take a pill!

"Where is this craving coming from? It's as if my body desperately needs this pill…"

This temptation was not strong, but it made Wen Wen very curious. So he gathered a few jailers and showed them the pills.

Wen Wen did not tell them what they were, wanting to see their reactions to the pills.

As a result, jailers with scars or illnesses expressed a desire to take the medicine, while jailers in good health showed no reaction to it.

"Does this mean there's a problem with my body that I'm unaware of?"
