Chapter 167: New Recovery Potion
Chapter 167: Chapter 167: New Recovery Potion
Countless people celebrated wildly when the Huanle Group launched its new Recovery Potion.
It meant they had another potion that could heal their bodies.
The entire Star Network was abuzz with discussions about it, and everyone was ecstatic.
It was a good thing.
When Lin Jingjing came out after her shower, holding her Star Ring, she saw the news and her eyes narrowed.
She then looked up the release date of the last new Recovery Potion.
It had been five years. The interval wasn’t very long.
In fact, it was extremely short.
’The release was a bit fast,’ Lin Jingjing mused, then sent the news to their five-person group chat.
[Lin Jingjing: Take a look at this news. What are your thoughts?]
After sending the message, Lin Jingjing backed out of the chat and continued to search for information about the Huanle Group on the Star Network.
The head of Huanle appeared at the latest press conference, standing at a podium in a well-fitting suit.
His hair was combed back, revealing a broad forehead, and he looked vibrant and full of energy.
His voice was particularly pleasant to listen to, gentle and refined.
For such a handsome and charming man, many on the Star Network were his die-hard female fans.
"The Recovery Potion developed this time can effectively and rapidly heal all injuries to the body. Not only that, but it can also boost personal immunity and enhance one’s strength."
"As long as you drink this Recovery Potion, even an ordinary person can gain spiritual power."
She watched the handsome man in the video say this with a smile on his face.
Lin Jingjing’s first reaction wasn’t joy, but a sense that something was wrong.
People who couldn’t possess spiritual power were those weeded out by nature. What he was doing was a struggle against nature itself.
’And how long has this Recovery Potion of his been in development?’
’To develop such a miraculous potion in just five short years... it’s just outrageous.’
"However, the supply of this Recovery Potion is limited because its ingredients are exceptionally precious, and its price will be very high."
The man looked at the camera, a smile on his face, and continued, "This Recovery Potion is aimed at the middle and upper classes. Friends who can’t afford it, don’t be discouraged."
"Later on, once the raw materials become cheaper, we will lower the price."
After the press conference, the man also took interviews. A reporter asked him why he chose to develop a potion that would allow ordinary people to gain spiritual power.
The man chuckled and replied, "Because I want everyone to be equal."
"If everyone possessed spiritual power, then everyone would be equal."
’He wants everyone to be equal, too?’
Lin Jingjing frowned slightly, her mind racing.
But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out what the man’s ultimate goal was.
[Feng He: I don’t know, but doesn’t it feel like this Recovery Potion came to market a bit too fast?]
[Feng He: He’s crazy. Giving ordinary people spiritual power? Is he really playing for such high stakes?]
[Feng He: Is his team really that good? They solved a problem that has existed for a hundred, even hundreds of years, in just five years.]
[Mo Xuan: I feel like something’s wrong.]
Lin Jingjing also felt something was wrong.
Since they all felt something was wrong, they had to get to the bottom of it.
[Feng He: Can you get me a bottle of the Recovery Potion? I want to study it.]
[Feng He: *poking fingers emoji*]
[Lin Jingjing: I’ll ask Captain Li for one tomorrow.]
After chatting in the group for a while, it went quiet. An unknown amount of time passed before the group chat dinged again. DING! DING!
Tapping on it revealed a video of Shi Feng and Gu Kaiwen eating on a nearby snack street.
[Shi Feng: You guys want some?]
[Shi Feng: The snacks here are pretty good. Recommended.]
’No wonder they weren’t messaging in the group earlier. They ran off to eat.’
Lin Jingjing ordered some food through the group chat, then went back to searching the Star Network for information on the powerful man.
But information about this man was few and far between on the Star Network. The deepest she could dig only revealed that his name was Huang Bo Lin, he was 58 years old, had a lovely daughter, and his wife had died in an accident years ago.
He hadn’t remarried all these years, instead dedicating his life to his daughter.
Huang Bo Lin was also a rather charitable person. Every year, he would donate a large sum of Star Coins to orphanages on various planets.
This allowed the parentless children inside to grow up safely and receive a proper education.
’Perhaps he was influenced by his daughter.’
Because his daughter was an especially kind and lovely child.
’Is this all there is?’ Lin Jingjing scratched her head. Just as she was about to close the forum thread, she suddenly saw a comment.
Huang Bo Lin’s daughter was harmed and ended up in a vegetative state, and his wife also died in that same ’accident.’
At the time, he reported it to the police, hoping they would arrest the people who harmed his wife and child. Unfortunately, the perpetrator had an incredibly powerful background.
They were released from the police station after just one week. Not only that, but Huang Bo Lin himself was fined a large sum of Star Coins instead.
Beneath this comment, many people were calling it fake. With someone as powerful as Huang Bo Lin, how could something like that happen to him?
Others asked who he had offended, and what had really happened to his wife and child.
But the person who posted the comment never appeared again.
Lin Jingjing took a screenshot of the comment.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—
There was a knock on the door. She had the robot open it, and Shi Feng and Gu Kaiwen walked in carrying food.
After coming in, Shi Feng handed a bottle of red Advanced Recovery Agent to Lin Jingjing.
Looking at the red Advanced Recovery Agent, Lin Jingjing asked, "Where did this come from?"
"I saved a girl on the way back, and she gave me this," Shi Feng explained simply.
"Time to eat!" Gu Kaiwen placed all the food on the nightstand.
"Alright."
Lin Jingjing ate off to the side while the two of them chatted about Huang Bo Lin.
At the end of their conversation, Shi Feng flopped onto the sofa and said casually, "If he really is the mastermind, then why is he doing all this? What’s his motive?"
"It can’t be that his loved ones were harmed, he was powerless to get revenge at the time, and then once he became powerful, he decided to get revenge on the entire Empire in a fit of rage, right?"
’The mission had just been assigned this morning, and they had started their investigation right after accepting it.’
’Who could be more dedicated than them?’
"Who knows?" Gu Kaiwen shrugged. He didn’t want to think about these things.
’The grilled octopus from that stall was so good. He wanted to have more.’
The group slept at the hotel until the next day. After checking out, they took a hovercar straight to the place where they would be staying.
They had even given the place a particularly strange name: the Monster Investigation Building.
How very strange.
Arriving at the location and looking at the tall building before her, Lin Jingjing was secretly ecstatic.
’From now on, in this building, she would be the boss. Everyone would have to listen to her!’
"Let’s go check it out!" Lin Jingjing said, heading inside.
