Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

Steve was shocked. He had never been able to figure out what the Heart of the universe was, but the power it displayed was exceptional.

Not only could it simulate the experiment, it could also point out the mistakes during the course of the experiment. It even had ways of correcting them. Even the world's most renowned pharmacist would not be able to achieve such a detailed level of precision!

A renowned mentor could, however, pass on their own experience to their students, thus minimising the errors that the students might make in the future. For all the other aspects of their education, the students could only rely on their own understanding.

After all, it was absolutely impossible for any human to be as detailed as the Heart of the universe. This realization made Steve more confident about being able to refine the Subatomic Serum.

Even without any previous knowledge of pharmaceutics, he would be able to conduct and complete the experiment with perfection. Steve picked up the new materials and started experimenting again.

He repeated the experiment again and again, marking his failures and corrections along the way. After more than five hours, Steve reached the final stage again.

"Extract only one milliliter of the seven-colored energy liquid. Too little of it would cause the result to be unsaturated, while too much of it would cause an intense reaction, resulting in an explosion!" the Heart of universe said.

In fact, one of the most serious mistakes ever made with this experiment was the extraction of an excessive amount of the seven-colored energy liquid, which led to an intense reaction and a huge explosion!

Ding!

As the final step was completed, a ringing sound, like a silver bell, was heard. Suddenly, the green liquid turned into a dreamy glass-like color. The glittering liquid looked nothing like the Subatomic Serum.

"Master, congratulations on your success!" the Heart of the universe said.

"Success? But, why isn't it the same color as a normal grade Subatomic Serum?" Steve wondered aloud.

"This is an enhanced version of the Subatomic Serum, so it is much more powerful than a normal grade Subatomic Serum. Naturally, it looks a bit different," The Heart of universe said.

Steve's heart was overwhelmed with excitement, as he exclaimed, "Hahaha, I finally succeeded! The first bottle of Subatomic Serum had been successfully refined."

Steve held the Subatomic Serum and laughed. After five hours and dozens of failures, he had finally succeeded! His success rate was astonishing, as it was several times higher than any typical F grade pharmacist's!

"Master, although you have succeeded, there are still many details in this experiment that are not perfect. Otherwise, the purity of this bottle of serum would be higher," the Heart of the universe said.

Comparing the good grade to those of the normal grade, the efficacy level of the serums differed by 10%. The price of the good grade serum was also a little more expensive, naturally.

The Higher grade's serum efficacy level could reach up to 30%, while the perfect grades could reach up to 50%. But, the perfect grade serum was at least twice as expensive as a normal grade serum!

However, this serum was definitely worth the money, as the 50% increase in the efficacy level allowed one to absorb the Cosmic Force much more easily, as compared to the usage of a normal grade serum.

Yet, the perfect grade Subatomic Serum was rarely seen, as the rich virtually monopolized the market, swooping in and purchasing it, even before it hit the shelves! This meant that, even if you could afford it, was often unavailable.

After Steve completed the refinement of the first bottle of enhanced Subatomic Serum, he continued to refine more. He was thoroughly fascinated by pharmaceutics.

One reason for this fascination was because Steve could imagine countless amounts of money rushing towards him! Then, unknowingly, Steve had been refining for more than ten hours! During this time, he had used up all 100 portions of his materials.

Steve could not help but grin and laugh, as he looked at the five refined bottles of enhanced Subatomic Serum. A success rate of 5% in refining serum seemed to be very low.

However, Steve's being able to reach the standard of an F grade pharmacist on his first day of refining, was considered a miracle, especially because he was still just a beginner! If news spread that a pharmacist apprentice had managed to achieve such a success rate on his first day, it would surely put countless geniuses to shame.

Robert Field became an F grade pharmacist at the age of 15, making him the youngest ever recorded by the Pharmacists Guild. He was hailed as the most talented pharmacist in the history of evolution. At that time, Field had studied pharmaceutics for three years before becoming an F grade pharmacist. But, Steve had only studied for a single day!

"A bottle of normal grade Subatomic Serum can fetch up to 10,000 in original gold, while five bottles of the same grade can fetch at least 50,000 in original gold. I only used 30,000 original gold's worth of materials to refine the serum. It is no wonder why so many people wish to become a pharmacist. This business is a gold producing machine!"

Steve could not help sigh.

Being a pharmacist is quite profitable!

Of course, the F grade pharmacist would not be able to refine the serum as fast as Steve could, as Steve could easily refine a bottle of serum in around ten minutes! A normal F grade pharmacist would take anywhere from half an hour to an hour to complete the same experiment!

The reason why Steve could work so fast was because he used a simulator that greatly reduced any wrong steps during his experiment..

"Five bottles of enhanced Subatomic Serum! I'll try it for myself." Steve said, laughing.

But, before he did that, he needed to fill his stomach! After more than 10 hours of continuous experimentation, Steve was starving.

Taking out the meat of the White Flame Cat, Steve cut off a small piece and began cooking it. The White Flame Cat had a level of 100% cell activation. Although its size had been reduced, the energy it contained started to become more concentrated.

Steve had to eat one to two pounds of elite magical beasts' meat before he was full! However, if it had been a boss level magical beasts' meat, Steve would have needed to eat only 20 grams of it to have felt stuffed.

This was because the energy contained in each was vastly different. The concept was similar to drinking water and eating meat. No amount of water would make you full, so you would soon be hungry. But, eating meat would sustain your hunger for a longer time.

As such, Steve meticulously prepared 20 grams of boss level magical beasts' meat, and in just one bite, his stomach was stuffed.

"Begin to practice!" he commanded.

Immediately after Steve drank the enhanced Subatomic Serum, the cells in his body emitted a strong sense of hunger. He felt like a man who had been operating on an empty stomach for three days. He could not wait any longer to eat a cow!

The enhanced version of Subatomic Serum increased the saturation of the cells several times, causing the increase sense of hunger upon usage. The original saturation level of the cells was 100, and absorbing 100 cosmic energy units would be sufficient to make him feel full.

However, when the saturation level was increased to 200, the original saturation level of 100 would be far from enough to promote a feeling of satiety. Thus, the cells craved for more energy!

As Steve continued to practice the fundamental practices of energy absorption, the meat he ate was consumed at an alarming rate, its energy being instantaneously absorbed by his cells. At the same time, the Cosmic Force that pervaded the heavens and the earth continued to fill Steve's body.

Steve could feel that the absorption speed of the cosmic force of the universe was now two times faster than a normal grade Subatomic Serum's! One evidence of this was that the effects of the enhanced Subatomic Serum disappeared after only three hours. This result was a stunning surprise for Steve.
