Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

Although Steve was also an F-grade certified pharmacist, in Oscar's view, Steve was of a much lower status than him. As pharmacists needed to have a wealth of accumulated resources in order to improve, they all thought that Steve was far behind them in terms of progression.

With her embarrassment showing on her face, Christina whispered to Steve, "I know your abilities. I believe you are better than all of them!"

"Thank you for your faith in me," Steve whispered to Christina. He then turned to them and said, "Okay, let's meet at the competition venue!"

Steve then shrugged indifferently and picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray as he passed by. Holding the champagne, Steve then turned around and left.

"He's so ignorant, thinking that he can have a say in our affairs just because he's an F-grade pharmacist?" Norman watched Steve depart with a sneer. "Even if we don't get into the top 10, at least we'll get better grades than him!"

Christina looked at Norman, Oscar, and the others with a strange look in her eyes. She had to wonder...

What makes them think that they are better than Steve just because they are the same grade as him?

Is it because they are nobles?

"Mr. Caromon, we at the Masa Group have several development projects that we want to work on with the Leston family. Even the Clark Pharmaceutical Group will be involved in these projects. I wonder if the Leston family would be interested in collaborating with us?" Christina looked at Caromon and laughed as she made the request.

Caromon's eyes lit up and he immediately laughed. "Interested? We'd naturally be interested! Let's talk over there."

Whether it was working with the Masa Group or the Clark Group, as long as the terms of the deal meant good business for their family, it's natural that they wouldn't refuse any requests for collaboration!

Oscar and the others could only look on with envy as Christina and Caromon talked happily together. After all, they also wanted to participate, but unfortunately, the Caromons didn't take little nobles such as them seriously. As for Christina, it was even more impossible for them to gain an audience with her.

...

The competition registration finally ended. In total, 89 competitors were signed up to participate in the competition.

Christina, as the host, came on stage again after a round of introductory speeches. "Now, let us invite President Sidney up to announce the rules of the competition." Christina smiled as the crowd applauded.

President Sidney stepped onto the platform and said, "As this competition was not prepared with much notice, as well as the fact that there are different levels of young geniuses present, in order to ensure absolute fairness, more than a dozen of our masters have discussed it, and we have decided that the theme of the competition should be… F-grade Original Recovery Serum!"

Just as he finished the announcement, numerous cries of alarms rang out from the young pharmacists. They were not prepared for this theme at all!

They had studied a lot of themes of serums to quickly prepare for this competition, but nobody had expected that President Sidney would choose one of the simplest serums! However, it soon became clear why President Sidney and more than a dozen other masters had chosen the F-Grade Original Recovery Serum.

"It is widely known that the F-grade Original Recovery Serum is one of the simplest serums. But, it is also one of the serums that test the pharmacists' control of their knowledge of pharmaceuticals," President Sidney said.

He then added, "There are thousands of ways to make F-grade Original Recovery Serums. However, different combinations will produce different effects. More than a dozen of our masters will evaluate and rate the competitors' recovery serums before ranking them by a detailed scoring system."

The F-grade Original Recovery serum was one of the simplest serums and could be used in many ways. The final result would always be a rapid recovery of the original-force after it has been exhausted.

But, at the same time, because each concoction would be different, the effects would be different as well. For example, some of the restored proportions of the original-force could be restored by 10% or 50%.

More amazingly, the effects would last for a few minutes and the force would recover by a fixed percentage per minute. Of course, there were some more drastic effects, such as recovering more than 50% in an instant, but at the same time, there would also be strong side effects.

The type of Original Recovery Serum that could be produced depended solely on the amount of knowledge that was controlled by the pharmacist. The better the combination, the stronger the effects of the Original Recovery Serums. So, in essence, this meant that the simpler it was, the more skills it would require to create and control!

All of the F-grade pharmacists present, who hadn't had much hope of succeeding in the competition before, immediately became excited. If they were required to cultivate serums that were above E-grade, they could never compare with those E-grade and D-grade pharmacists at all. But, since they would be dealing with an F-grade recovery serum, this meant that they might actually have a chance!

"Hahaha, I happen to know of several new F-grade Recovery Serums that would surely work wonderfully together when combined," Oscar said excitedly.

"Not long ago, I got an old prescription from an ancient relic. There happened to be a record of a Recovery Serum inside the relic as well! With that in my possession, I'm sure to win this competition!" Philip said confidently.

"Your Recovery Serums will certainly not be as good as mine!" another young pharmacist exclaimed

Almost all of the competitors were confident that their own Recovery Serums would be the most perfect ones. It was clear that each of them hoped that they would be the one to win first place.

As the preparation of F-grade Recovery Serums did not require the use of any complicated instruments and most of the pharmacists were already equipped with their own daily pharmaceutical equipment, they did not need to procure any extra items before being prepared to begin.

In fact, this was one of the reasons that the masters had chosen F-grade Recovery Serums, as there was no need for extra preparations to be made. Moreover, the refining process was simple and could be completed quickly without delaying the results and judging until the next pharmacist exchange conference.

The competition period was set for half an hour, which was more than enough time for the pharmacists present to complete their tasks. As all of the materials were ready, many competitors couldn't wait to begin!

At that moment, even though Steve had the prepared materials, he did not start to cultivate the F-grade Recovery Serum. This was because he had several recipes for them and did not know which one to use.

"Searching F-grade Recovery Serums for you. There are a total of 72 kinds. Listing the F-grade Recovery Serums..." the Heart of the Universe was reporting data to Steve.

As Steve looked at the 72 configurations that the Heart of the Universe had just listed, he saw that many of them were good, but they did not quite meet his expectations. After another quick look, Steve suddenly had a new idea.

"Can these recipes be gathered together and then integrated into the serums from the Lemurian civilization?" Steve asked.

After developing three spiritual serums, Steve had discovered that the Lemurian civilization's pharmaceutical methods could still be used after improvement. Moreover, the effects of the serums that were infused with the new Lemurian civilization's serums would be stronger and have many more amazing effects!

As the level of the Lemurian civilization was much higher than the Blue Star Continent's, there was a lot of knowledge within it, all of which was far beyond the reach of the present civilization.

In fact, the gap between the two civilizations was so vast, it was mind-boggling. After all, one civilization was still thinking about how to launch a rocket to the moon, while the other had already colonized the entire universe, and moreover, its Cosmic Battleships were as huge as a galaxy!
