Upon opening it, two vials of reagents were revealed inside. He explained softly, "These are bloodline evolution potions that I obtained by chance."
"Bloodline...evolution potion!?" Mai Shude and Enxi Su exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Bloodline evolution... that's something every hybrid desires and pursues, yet also fears!
Even among ordinary people, there are gaps between the rich and the poor, and the class gap among mixed-race individuals is even more exaggerated and obvious.
After awakening their bloodline and gaining power, which hybrid wouldn't yearn to go further and obtain even greater power?
However, acquiring greater power is not without its price; the potential risk is the loss of control over one's bloodline, leading to complete degeneration into a Deadpool.
The emergence of bloodline evolution potions is undoubtedly a relatively low-risk evolution method.
The "Hybrid Monarch" faction has been able to grow and expand across Europe precisely by exploiting this.
Whether they are wild awakened hybrids or members of large or small clans, everyone is tempted when they hear about this thing.
It's easy to imagine how incredibly valuable this thing is!
"Don't get so excited~ I can only assure you that these two vials of reagent do have the effect of evolving bloodlines, but there is also a risk of going out of control. I do not recommend that you take them yourself."
Cao Han was still quite conscientious and gave the two of them a special reminder.
It should be noted that these two vials of bloodline evolution potion were discovered when he entered the Herzog Institute.
At that time, only the last five tubes of reagent remained intact. This was also the last batch of medicine that Herzog refined using the improved formula of the ancient dragon cells left behind by Bondarev.
Before he could even test it, Cao Han stormed into his door.
However, considering that Herzog used the same formula to refine the White King's bloodline and successfully usurped the throne as the new White King, this bloodline evolution potion still has great research value.
Although that's what Cao Han said, Su Enxi, as the financial queen of Wall Street, immediately realized that the real value of these two vials of reagents was not in taking them, but in deriving the specific drug formula from the finished product.
Having the formula means being able to produce continuously.
The difference between them is like a golden egg and a hen that lays golden eggs; choosing between them is a simple matter.
"Since this is a transaction, what do you want from us?"
Su Enxi was not blinded by the enormous profits at hand. Cao Han had brought out something like this, so what he was after must not be simple.
"Bloodline lock agent".
Actually, Cao Han hadn't thought of this thing at first. It was only after seeing Shude Mai pull out the two alchemical short swords, Futsu-no-Mitama and Ame-no-Habakiri, while they were underwater that he remembered it.
The little devil Lu Mingze gave Jiude Mai not only these two alchemical daggers, but also the Ancient Dragon Serum and Bloodline Locking Agent.
If nothing unexpected happens, this ancient dragon serum comes from the ancient dragon embryo that the White King resurrected from the body of the Lenin.
In Cao Han's view, if the problem of bloodline instability caused by the ancient dragon serum could be solved, then this bloodline locking agent should also be able to solve the problem of bloodline instability in Uesugi Erii.
Erii Uesugi's biggest problem is that she wields divine power while being a mortal.
Word of Power: Judgment is not something a hybrid can afford.
Each time she releases the Word of Power: Judgment, it means an extreme test of life for Uesugi Erii. At best, it depletes her life force; at worst, it causes her bloodline to completely gravitate towards the dragon race, turning her into a death servant.
Herzog previously weakened the dragon bloodline power within Uesugi Erii through regular blood transfusions, but no one could guarantee how long this method could be maintained.
Cao Han thought that Uesugi Erii was, after all, the rightful "Mingfei" appointed by his little brother Lu Mingfei. If he could exchange the bloodline locking agent from Shude Mai and Su Enxi, and then hand it over to Kazama Ruri.
Kazama Ruri was able to reconcile with her brother, Genji, by using the excuse that she had infiltrated Herzog's inner circle to obtain the locking agent.
As for those people he killed when he transformed into a ghost?
Those were crimes committed under Herzog's control, what does it have to do with Kazama Ruri!
This move can be described as killing two, three, four, five, and six birds with one stone!
Su Enxi: "!!! (How did he know?)"
Su Enxi's gaze immediately fell on the opposite side, Shude Mai, her eyes filled with seriousness.
The existence of the Ancient Dragon Serum and the Bloodline Locking Agent was known only to the two people sent to Japan by the boss; even Zero, who was still protecting Lu Mingfei in China, was unaware of it.
She was absolutely certain that she hadn't uttered a single word about it in front of Cao Han, so there was only one possibility left...
Mai Shude understood perfectly what Su Enxi meant with her eyes, but she shook her head very subtly and discreetly.
Holmes once told Watson: "When you have eliminated all the impossibilities, what remains is the most impossible thing of all!"
Suddenly, Su Enxi recalled a seemingly joking remark Cao Han had made: "Your boss also calls me 'boss'."
Assuming this statement is true, does it mean that the boss really told the other party?
Or perhaps it was all part of the boss's plan behind the scenes, which is why Cao Han came to him to propose a deal.
This bloodline evolution potion might just be what the boss needs right now...
As she continued to think more deeply, Su Enxi felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, a sign that she had overworked her brain.
The Word Power: Heavenly Evolution is extremely rare and special among all Word Powers. While it strengthens the brain, it also increases the burden. Releasing it consumes not only physical strength but also mental energy.
A look of hesitation and inner conflict was written on Su Enxi's face.
It's all the fault of that unscrupulous boss who keeps disappearing from her and her excellent employees every now and then, leaving her at a loss for what to do.
"Bloodline lock agent...we don't have any."
"Really no... or do you not want to make a deal?" Cao Han's tone suddenly turned icy as he spoke, his slightly narrowed eyes radiating coldness.
Perhaps his initial easygoing demeanor led people to misunderstand him, thinking he was some kind of benevolent person?
It's true that you don't want to provoke Lu Mingze, the biggest bug in the Dragon Raja world, but that doesn't mean you can't provoke him!
The golden eyes, which seemed to glow with flowing lava, were as dazzling and blinding as a sun rising inside the room.
What truly terrified the two women was the chilling aura that sent shivers down their spines and left them with no thought of resistance.
In just two or three seconds, sweat had completely soaked through Mai's inner shirt, because she realized that in just one or two days, the man in front of her had shown a significant improvement in both strength and aura.
"His strength is constantly improving!"
Recalling Cao Han's dragon form revealed at the bottom of the sea off Japan, a startling thought appeared in Mai Shude's mind.
Whether it's a pure-blooded dragon or a hybrid, bloodline means power.
Especially for hybrids, since the awakening of the dragon bloodline, the upper limit of their strength has been determined. No matter how much they train, they can only bring the lower limit closer to the upper limit.
If a pure-blooded dragon could continuously improve its strength, would it be possible for it to one day reach the level of the legendary Black King?
"I'll give you a chance to reorganize your statement."
Su Enxi gave a bitter smile. What she called a chance to reorganize her speech was, frankly, a chance to fight for her life.
She should have known long ago that no matter how friendly Cao Han had acted, he was essentially a dragon, and his nature was inherently tyrannical.
“I! Agree! To! It!” Mai Shude said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly, on behalf of Su Enxi.
As the words fell.
The terrifying aura vanished instantly, and a friendly smile returned to Cao Han's face.
"That's more like it. I'm not a robber taking your things for free. Your boss would be happy to exchange them for bloodline evolution potions."
Su Enxi really wanted to say, "You're strong and powerful, so whatever you say is right," but what came out of her mouth was, "You're right."
Mai Shude understood that the other party was fully capable of killing the two of them on the spot and taking the items for themselves, but they did not do so.
Perhaps this is the greatest mercy of those in power.
Correspondingly, those in lower positions should cherish the favors bestowed upon them by those in higher positions, rather than disobeying their wishes.
If there had been even a 1% chance, Jiu De Mai would have drawn the two alchemical daggers from her waist and fought Cao Han to the death, provided Su Enxi wasn't present.
Given Su Enxi's "weak" logistics skills, the chances of her surviving while caught between the two in battle are virtually zero!
Mai Shutoku knows her sister's personality very well. She may seem unreliable on the surface, but she's truly willing to risk her life for her boss...
Fearing she might throw a tantrum, he had no choice but to step in and agree.
In any case, both the Ancient Dragon Serum and the Bloodline Locking Agent were originally given to Mai Shude by the "boss" for use when necessary to risk her life.
There's no need to risk your life these days; just trade it away.
He also pulled out an ordinary little box from his inner pocket, inside which lay two vials of reagents.
One is an ancient dragon serum, and the other is the bloodline-locking potion that Cao Han needs; the two are used together.
The former can temporarily enhance the user's critical bloodline. Taking herself as an example, her bloodline level will be raised from A-level to S-level in a short period of time, and her words of power will also break through the limit and advance to the Vajra Realm.
As long as the locking agent is injected before the bloodline completely goes out of control, the bloodline in the body can be restored to stability.
"This is the bloodline-locking potion you requested."
"Is the other one the Ancient Dragon Serum?" Cao Han asked with a hint of curiosity.
“Yes.” Mai Shude no longer cared about how the other party knew so much; she just wanted to complete the transaction as soon as possible and send this “fierce god” away.
“I feel like I’m at a slight disadvantage by trading two for one…” Cao Han looked at the vial of ancient dragon serum and was slightly tempted, but still shook his head. “Since I’ve already agreed to the deal, I can’t go back on my word.”
Moreover, the bloodline lock agent was meant to be given to Kazama Ruri to fulfill her promise, so the remaining Ancient Dragon Serum seemed to have lost its purpose. After thinking about it, I decided to give up.
If we really need dragon serum...
Cao Han thought to himself that it would be better to just draw his own blood.
Chapter 115 The Mentor's Email Reminder
Face-changing, an intangible cultural heritage, is not a woman's exclusive domain; Cao Han also has some knowledge of it.
After successfully obtaining the bloodline locking agent, Cao Han's expression immediately became amiable, as if he were not the same person who had been filled with murderous intent just a moment ago.
"By the way, do you have any mission objectives in Japan this time? I happen to be free for the next day or two and can help you with them."
"N-nothing...we came to Japan to invest." Su Enxi chuckled twice and made up a lame excuse.
They can't exactly say that the two of them came to Japan on the boss's orders just to spy on Cao Han and see what he was up to.
"invest?"
Cao Han had no doubts. The Japanese yen was very strong worldwide in the early 2000s, and its purchasing power was also strong, so there was nothing wrong with saying that.
If he remembered correctly, the girl in front of him was the logistics manager, investment expert, and financial queen that the little devil Lu Mingze had "picked up." Thinking of this, his eyes lit up.
"If you had 5 billion yen, what good investment advice would you have?"
