Chapter 221 Wrong
Just as Michael was about to mix the two solutions, his brows furrowed as he felt something off. He was quick to realize what it was.
The sound of metal corroding had faded a little too quickly, it was as though the entire block of metal had been burned through, but Michael knew the solution should take at least five more minutes to eat through the an ordinary metal.
Despite knowing this, he refused to split his concentration and pause concocting the hemostasis agent he had come up with in his mind.
The entire vial of purplish liquid was dumped inside the slimy but transparent heating flask that originally contained luminescence greenish liquid inside of them.
Michael watched closely as the two substances began to mix. The solutions began to bubble and fizz, emitting a faint hissing sound as the chemical reaction took hold.
As the reaction progressed, the solution began to change color, starting from a pale yellow and gradually deepening into a rich amber. Michael observed the reaction closely, noting any changes in texture or consistency, and adjusting the mixture as needed to achieve the desired result.
As the minutes passed, the solution continued to bubble and churn, and the young man could feel the excitement building within him. This was the moment he had been waiting for, the culmination of all his hard work and research.
Finally, the reaction began to slow, and the solution settled into a steady, viscous consistency. The young illegal Mixer carefully extracted the liquid from the flask, using a syringe installed with a sucker.
The genetic material had been successfully incorporated into the chemical mixture, creating a potent and highly reactive substance. The young man couldn't help but smile giddily as he realized he might successfully created the healing serum.
Most formulas out there are not trustworthy especially the ones gotten from the dark cybernet. Despite knowing that how dangerous untested serums ands formulas are, he was willing to risk it all for an opportunity.
With his many years of knowledge, Michael was able to tweak the formula to his needs, removing quite the dangers the serums contained.
With shaky fingers, Michael reached out towards the healing serum. His heart pounding in excitement and fear. The best way to test the drug was on himself.
With his mangled fingers trembling slightly, Michael extended his right arm towards the vial of genetically modified healing serum, its luminescent green hue pulsating with a vibrant energy.
His meaty heart pounding rapidly in his chest, infused with both exhilaration and apprehension, Michael knew that the most efficient way to test the efficacy of the untested compound was by testing it on himself.
The experimental formula, composed of chemical compounds, promised fast cell regeneration, offering the potential to heal even the most severe of injuries.
Using his neuro implant, he had scanned the formula for mistakes, removed unnecessary chemical structure and after adjust the formula to a new one that he was pretty sure wouldn't lead to his death.
And yet, the unknown risks associated with the serum left Michael's enhanced mind racing with anxiety.
The lines on his face flashed as his neural implants fired at a feverish pace as he contemplated the possible consequences of injecting the untested substance into his bloodstream.
If it works, he could create more and sell for quite a price opening limitless opportunities door himself but if it doesn't, he could only accept his fate.
Nonetheless, with a deep breath, Michael steeled himself for the unknown, holding the serum at his mangled fingers.
Just as he was about to inject the serum, Michael's cybernetic implant pulsed with urgency.
The tiny LED implanted in his skin flickered to life, casting an eerie glow over his face. Without warning, a notification alert blared through his implant, he was taken aback.
Ignoring it at first, Michael attempted to continue with the injection. But then, a virtual screen emerged from the depths of his pupils, displaying the notification in stark detail. It loomed in front of him, dominating almost half his field of vision.
He tried to dismiss it, the warning signal looming over the message took his attention
[Alert: Unknown Optimizer Detected]
[Optimal Resource Name: Phantom X]
[Resource Type: Unknown Generation ]
[Resource Mass: 20kg]
[Resource Features: Unknown]
[Warning!!! This optimizer appears to be of the lowest model and is not found in any registered database. It could potentially contain a highly dangerous virus. Remove restrictions and search through Cybernet for more information.]
Michael was stunned as his pupils constricted. He stood still, eyes staring at the uneven block of supposedly melted metal before him.
The uneven block of supposed melted metal was now a living mass of nanites!
"How could this be?" Michael muttered in disbelief.
The last time he checked, the acidic drop of liquid should have melted it completely.
But that was not the only thing that perplexed him. His enhanced visual system displayed the weight of the nanite pack as 20 kilograms, which was impossible. The heaviest nanobot pack ever recorded was only 10 kilograms, and that was already pushing the limits of current technology as the human body would be affected by such weight.
Michael couldn't believe what he was seeing, and his mind raced with questions and possibilities about how this was even possible.
The only explanation was that there was an even stronger layer of electrode foil, effectively concealing the Gene-Modifier from detection."
If that drop of solution hadn't dropped on it he wouldn't have known he was treating a freaking Gene-Modifier as paper weigh!
And if chemical hadn't been strong enough to penetrate the Electrode cover, the Modifier would still be hidden and he would have no idea!
As he stood there in shock, he could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins, making his fingers tingle with anticipation. The buzzing sounds in his mind became louder and more insistent, drowning out all other thoughts including the thought of testing out his newly mde solution.
Without even thinking, his body moved on its own, reaching out to grab the massive block of nanobots.
As his fingers closed in around the cool metal, he could feel a surge of energy coursing through him, like an electric shock, pulsing along with his heartbeat.
