Dominating Evolution Of The Cosmos 20 Pharmaceutics

"With your strength?" sneered Sophia. She was still full of disdain and disbelief, as she pulled Lucy back in front of Steve.

"Last time, you were just lucky. I will personally beat you in the recruits' ranking battle in three days. This will finally make you understand that you are nothing but garbage and are not worthy of my sister!"

After Sophia had spoken the angry words, she left without looking back. Lucy looked at Steve, while she was reluctantly walking away, then said, "Dear, I believe in you."

Steve clenched his fists, his heart filled with resentment and anger. If only he were strong enough, he could get Lucy back and not be looked down upon by Sophia any longer!

"Steve, you had better pray hard that you won't meet me during the recruits' ranking battle. Otherwise, I'll stomp you under my feet!"

Stuart came over and whispered to Steve, "Garbage will always be garbage. Thus, you deserve to be trampled."

Lucy had been taken away by Sophia, and Steve could do nothing about it. He was deeply angered by his own weakness.

As to what the two of them had agreed upon, it was now impossible to accomplish. Moreover, the recruits' ranking battle day grew near. And, as she was always under Sophia's strict supervision, it would be even more unlikely for Lucy to be able to meet Steve.

Back in the dorm, Steve was able to finally calm down. He had long ago learned that anger was the most useless emotion. He was aware that, only by improving his strength, could he change the situation for the better.

Besides, Steve had already made great gains in this adventure. He took out the three items that he had obtained: the optical organism that contained Collic's cells, the boss grade magical beasts' meat, and the seven-colored egg.

"How do I make use of Collic's cells in the optical organism?" Steve asked.

"Master, Collic's cells are too powerful for you now. If taken directly, they may even modify your own genes. If your body cannot withstand their force, they will break the genetic chain. So, it is not recommended for your immediate use, Master," the Heart of the universe announced, then added, "Moreover, the efficacy of Collic's cells will greatly improve, if refined into a serum. Then, that serum can be used as the main drug to make Nino serum."

"Nino serum!" Steve was shocked.

He carefully held on to the optical organism, as if holding a treasure. Nino serum was the main drug used in breaking the genetic chain. It also had the ability to improve the odds of a person becoming a level one evolved being with a level of 100% cell activation.

Once cell activation reached the level of 100%, the strength of the cells would have reached their limit as well, no longer able to be further enhanced. The only way to get past this would be to break the genetic chain, as genes are the basis of life for all species and contain all of the information about life.

At the same time, genes also restrict the growth of all life. This was seen in instances, such as longevity, cell growth, aging, death and so on. Thus, genes are the foundation of everything, but they are also a chain of many things.

To evolve, one can only optimize the genes, which is how humans have been evolving since ancient times. In order to adapt to their environment, genes are constantly changing, which is also a clear example of the process of evolution.

However, their rate of evolution was so slow, it took millions of years for humans to evolve from man-apes to beings with intelligent minds. But now, humans could absorb the cosmic forces of the universe. Evolution had changed from pa.s.sive to active mode! And, the first step in that evolution lay in the genes!

To reach a level of 100% cell activation, one would have to make changes to his own genes and break the existing chain in order to promote the rapid evolution of the genes. But, this was no easy feat.

Like the evolution of man-apes into highly intelligent humans, this took millions of years. With accelerated evolution, millions or even hundreds of millions of years could be shortened to just a few years or decades. Thus, this process was truly miraculous!

Due to its rare miraculousness, this was exactly why not everyone who reached a level of 100% cell activation could break the genetic chain and become an evolved being. Only by breaking the genetic chains and becoming a level one evolved being could one truly embark on the path of evolution.

The Nino serum could loosen the genetic chain and reduce the difficulty of breakthroughs in evolution, which is also the reason why the demand for Nino serum had exceeded its supply. Countless organisms with a level of 100% cell activation would want their share of the Nino serum.

Although the retail price for a bottle of Nino serum was 1 million in original gold, the chances of buying a bottle at its retail price was very low. On the black market, a bottle of Nino serum could easily cost 2 million in original gold. So, it was much more expensive than the optical organism itself!

The Collic's cells that Steve was holding in his hands could be used to make more than a dozen bottles of Nino serum. However, Steve soon looked bitter, as he said, "So what if it is the main drug to make the Nino serum? I am not a pharmacist, and I am still a great distance away from achieving 100% cell activation."

"Master, it is alright if you do not know about pharmaceutics. You can learn to refine the drug," The Heart of universe said. "The Nino serum is the most difficult serum to refine out of all the F grade serums. Master, you can learn slowly."

"You mean, become a pharmacist?" Steve asked.

"Correct!"

"But, being a pharmacist requires a lot of learning and a mentor's guidance. Otherwise, many things could easily go wrong," said Steve, feeling helpless.

Pharmaceutics originated from biology, but changes that happened on Blue Stars caused many plants and animals to evolve along with it. As such, the past biology is no longer applicable to the present age. Thus, pharmaceutics was born.

Pharmaceutics, unlike the search for biological mysteries, was born with the sole purpose of advancing human evolution. As such, every pharmacist is held in high esteem. But, it is not easy to train as a pharmacist.

It has been calculated that the cost of training an F grade pharmacist is the equivalent of multiplying one's own weight by 10 times the weight of gold, the measurement unit for the resource consumption being based on tens of millions of units of original gold! Hence, the status of a F grade pharmacist was more n.o.ble even than a level one evolved being.

After the adventure, Steve would have clearly made a big profit. In fact, the profit would be enough to last a lifetime, if he were just an ordinary person. However, if he were to use the money to train to become a pharmacist, it would be akin to a stone being thrown into the sea, without stirring the slightest wave.

This was because, in pharmaceutics, even if you possess theoretical knowledge, it does not necessarily mean that you would be able to refine the serum. The most important thing was to have a renowned mentor by your side to guide you.

Pharmaceutics was similar to a chemical reaction. If there were any mistakes made during the refining process, the experiment would fail entirely, with all of the materials being destroyed. Hence, it was even tougher than chemistry!

Therefore, the best way to learn pharmaceutics was to be under the tutelage of an actual pharmacist. It would be even easier if you had a renowned mentor to guide you. Otherwise, no amount of money would be enough, should one rely on self-study to learn pharmaceutics, as the success rate for that type of endeavor was lower than 1 out of 10,000!

To be under the tutelage of a pharmacist, one would have to pay an exorbitant amount of tuition fees. On top of that, the pharmacist would also have to observe you to see if you possess adequate talent. He would then decide whether or not to accept you as an apprentice.

In short, to train and become a pharmacist, you would need money, talent, and the guidance of a renowned mentor, none of which are easily accessible!
