354: Chapter 353: The Formula for the Genetic Potion 354: Chapter 353: The Formula for the Genetic Potion It was deep into the night when Ning Fan, having completed his Inner Strength mental method cultivation, stepped out of his room, looking down the stairs with some puzzlement.
During his cultivation, Ning Fan’s senses were exceptionally sharp, not a single movement around him could escape his perception.
This also allowed Ning Fan to detect a slight disturbance coming from underground.
“Although I knew there was a basement down there, what is she doing in there now?”
Ning Fan looked curiously below.
In the laboratory downstairs, Ning Fan had already guessed the identity of the person inside.
If it wasn’t unexpected, it was definitely his CEO fiancée, Xu Ruolan.
Driven by boredom and curiosity, Ning Fan found the entrance to the laboratory, then he quietly walked in.
Inside the brightly lit laboratory, it was very quiet, with a strong smell of disinfectant floating in the air.
Normally, one would have to go through disinfection before entering the laboratory, but Ning Fan managed to bypass this step and broke in directly.
In the room at the far end of the laboratory, separated by several panes of transparent glass, Ning Fan could see his fiancée engrossed in researching something.
“Could it be that she’s studying the Genetic Potion that A’Jiu mentioned?”
At first, Ning Fan was puzzled as to why Xu Ruolan was still working on something so late, but then he suddenly remembered something A’Jiu had mentioned to him before.
Xu Ruolan was collaborating with the military on a Genetic Potion project, and the thing she was currently working on could very well be that.
Ning Fan tread lightly and slowly made his way closer, but then he discovered that aside from the initial disinfection, the laboratory had also set up scanners and passwords needed for entry.
If one didn’t have the password, the door in front of the disinfection channel would not open, avoiding the first but encountering the second obstacle, Ning Fan shook his head, feeling it was a bit troublesome.
But it was just a bit of trouble; this couldn’t stump him.
“Still not working, huh…”
In the laboratory, Xu Ruolan’s expression turned frustrated.
She had tried a new method tonight, but the results were still unsatisfactory, the prototype in her hands was even more of a failure than before.
Suddenly, Xu Ruolan started to feel a headache coming on.
“Of course it won’t work, you got the formula and the sequence wrong, it would be a miracle if it succeeded.”
An exasperated voice echoed in the laboratory, startling Xu Ruolan.
Oblivious to the presence of someone behind her as she was focused on the Genetic Potion, Xu Ruolan did not notice anyone approaching.
When she turned around, the familiar face of Ning Fan was what she saw.
“How come you’re here?” Xu Ruolan looked at Ning Fan in astonishment.
“I made sure that…”
In the laboratory, the disinfection channel was supposed to be secured with a password, and each room’s doors had individual passwords as well.
Before entering, one would also have to go through a scanning process.
Unless there was a malfunction, it was impossible for anyone other than Xu Ruolan to get in.
“You mean that?
It’s child’s play.
Next time, I’ll recommend a better security company to you.
Whoever designed this laboratory for you is an utter fool!”
Ning Fan replied disdainfully, which sounded particularly significant to Xu Ruolan.
Considering the issue of confidentiality, Xu Ruolan had hired an internationally renowned security expert to design this laboratory.
Yet, in Ning Fan’s mouth, that expert had become a fool?
“Don’t touch anything!”
While Xu Ruolan was still pondering this issue, she suddenly noticed Ning Fan was operating her computer and even brazenly reviewing the formula for the Genetic Potion.
“Why are you getting so worked up?
We’re all family here; no need to be so formal.”
Ning Fan, his expression indifferent, fingers swiftly tapping on the keyboard, effortlessly cracked the encryption Xu Ruolan had set up.
Xu Ruolan watched in surprise as Ning Fan broke into the encryption of her research laboratory computer’s database, as well as the encryption of the formulas and research records, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
What exactly did this man do before?
Ning Fan, absorbed in the data, wore an expression of deep concentration.
Such a look was rare in front of Xu Ruolan and caused a seismic shift in his aura.
Ruolan was captivated in an instant.
A man who focuses is beyond handsome, especially Ning Fan right now.
Ruolan couldn’t help but be fixated on Ning Fan’s serious face, and it made her think back to the events of the day, her cheeks gradually flushing again.
Not wanting to interrupt Ning Fan, Ruolan no longer felt like he was an outsider.
She even started to feel hopeful, thinking Ning Fan might truly have a solution.
After what seemed like an eternity, Ning Fan finally moved his gaze away from the screen and looked towards the quiet Xu Ruolan.
“If I’m not mistaken, this prototype should be from the Magnesium Country’s Super Warrior project, the Genetic Potion,” he guessed.
“You know?!”
Xu Ruolan’s expression grew even more surprised.
“Don’t tell me you know their exact formula!”
If there really was a complete formula, all of Ruolan’s current difficulties would no longer be difficult; they could all be easily resolved.
“How could that be possible?
I’ve just heard of it, whether that project eventually failed or succeeded still remains controversial.
But what you’ve got here is an improved version, and you’ve even added your own ideas into it, not bad at all.”
Ning Fan couldn’t help but smile wryly at Xu Ruolan, who looked at him expectantly.
He just happened to have come across this topic.
Moreover, whether the project ultimately succeeded or failed, there was no specific conclusion, and Ning Fan did not have the complete formula.
“…But it still failed, didn’t it?”
Xu Ruolan’s expression turned troubled once more.
However, Ning Fan smiled, “Not entirely, at least from what I see, it’s nearly complete.”
It was indeed almost complete, which even surprised Ning Fan a lot.
“But it seems there’s a problem with your original design if the effects of the potion are so dangerously strong?”
Saying this, Ning Fan walked over to a mouse cage and took out a small white mouse for an experiment.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
The little white mouse, injected with just a bit of the Genetic Potion, began convulsing and eventually exploded inside the observation dish.
“Wow, you don’t actually want humans to end up exploding like this mouse, do you?”
Ning Fan shook his head in dismay; the potion’s power was too much for the small mouse, and it would have the same effect on humans.
This was the biggest issue, and there were other smaller ones as well.
At this point, Xu Ruolan found herself at a loss for words.
Ning Fan had only just begun to look into her experiment, and already he understood it so thoroughly.
This made the typically proud Ruolan feel a tinge of defeat, while simultaneously seeing Ning Fan in a new light.
“Do you have a solution?”
“Aren’t solutions always found?”
Ning Fan’s face was filled with a confident smile, one that was infectious to Xu Ruolan.
With Ning Fan joining in the effort to improve the Genetic Potion, Xu Ruolan felt even more confident.
