A sinister and strange laugh came from under the bird-beak mask. Yang Yu did not directly put forward his request, but asked:
"Do you know why I suggested that [Red Blood Rose] come here to cooperate with you in the beginning?"
This gloomy laughter coupled with Yang Yu's slow questioning was like a sharp knife that instantly pierced Qingcong's chest, leaving him at a loss for words and he could only fall into deep thought.
Seeing all of this through the mask, Yang Yu's mouth corners slightly raised.
The young man's expression meant that he was getting into his rhythm step by step.
In order to practice this eerie and strange laughter, Yang Yu put in a lot of effort.
He originally wanted to ask Bai Jin for the secret of making that strange laugh, but he found that Bai Jin rarely made that kind of laugh recently.
Bai Jin has been trying hard to overcome her awkward personality so far, and now Yang Yu doesn't want to deny her efforts.
If I suddenly intervened and said I wanted to help her overcome her weird personality, it would seem too abrupt.
After thinking it over again and again, Yang Yu gave up on learning the strange laughter from Bai Jin.
Instead, he found another way, constantly changing the way he laughed, constantly searching for those crazy and eerie laughs in his memory, and blending them together to create this weird and creepy laugh now.
After receiving unanimous praise from [Red Blood Rose], Yang Yu felt confident and bold to use this kind of laughter to strike at the deepest fears in other people's hearts and break down their inner defenses.
The dark and terrifying bird-beak mask was reflected in his eyes. Qingcong, who was trying to find some clues from Yang Yu, suddenly realized that he had no way of seeing what the man in front of him was thinking.
After thinking for a long time, Qingcong's conclusion was just to shake his head to show his ignorance.
The eerie laughter sounded again, and Yang Yu continued to ask: "Then do you know how to quickly make a drug that meets the expected efficacy when you have no clue? What do you think is the most critical part?"
Qingcong frowned and tried to analyze what kind of answer Yang Yu wanted from his perspective. After thinking for a long time, Qingcong said in an extremely uncertain tone:
"I think the most important thing is whether there are experimental subjects."
“Hey hey hey!!!”
Yang Yu's sudden burst of laughter startled Qing Cong, who frowned.
"Am I wrong?"
"Rather, the answer you gave is exactly what I was looking for. I thought you would give a boring answer like 'teamwork', but surprisingly you are quite understanding."
Stretching out his hand wrapped in white bandages, Yang Yu began to untie the bandages.
“When you want to quickly produce an effective drug without knowing anything, the most important thing is not ‘teamwork’ but how many test subjects there are to try the drug.
As long as there are enough test subjects, we can quickly capture the effect of each test drug, quickly screen out products with fewer side effects, and then find the best ratio for drugs with fewer side effects.”
After completely untying the bandage, Yang Yu showed his hand to Qingcong.
The skin on Yang Yu's hands turned up layer by layer like cabbage, revealing the back of his hand covered with blood-red spots. Qingcong got goose bumps all over the floor when he saw it, and he unconsciously looked away.
In fact, those areas on Yang Yu's body that looked like they had shed skin significantly were all made by rubbing and drying glue. The red spots on his hands were illusions created by using a makeup box pulled out of the system. If you don't look closely, it's hard to spot any clues.
In order to prevent the fake wound from being exposed, Yang Yu calmly put the bandage back on his hand.
"As a wandering potion master, I often test the drugs on myself because no one else is testing them. This is the result. My body has long been riddled with holes due to various drugs.
In the choice of whether to continue to wander freely and try out the newly developed potions on myself, or to find a place to settle down and continue to develop potions, I chose the latter. "
Tightening the bandage on his hand, Yang Yu continued as if nothing had happened:
“I’ve heard a lot about your Chamber of Commerce. You can make that kind of medicine, so you must have conducted countless experiments behind the scenes, including many inhumane human experiments.
This approach of using any means necessary for the sake of profit coincides with my own. That's why I took a fancy to your Chamber of Commerce.
With your help, I believe I can develop more potions."
A small bottle of potion appeared in Yang Yu's hand. The purple color was somewhat similar to the potion Gordon took out.
Yang Yu waved the medicine bottle in front of Qing Cong.
"Actually, I've already made several samples of that potion, but I don't have anyone to try it on.
I have only one request, provide me with a slave right now to see the effect.
As long as you can help me find slaves to serve as trial subjects immediately, I will find a way to help you convince the people from the Red Blood Rose to cooperate with you.
Of course, all the results I have will belong to you.”
Qingcong frowned, even though Dabing Lianzi had told him to do his best to meet the demands of the masked and bandaged man in front of him.
However, they have only been settled in Setis for a few months and do not have as rich a foundation as Tront.
Most of the medicines were still in the trial stage and had not yet been used in clinical practice, so the purchase of slaves was put on the back burner.
Thinking of this, Asuna's figure emerged in Qingcong's mind.
If Asuna were still alive, she could use her charm to control weak adventurers without having to spend extra money on slaves and guards.
However, Asna had been killed by that hateful man in that abominable invasion. Even their family elder Bu Yao Lian Zi was seriously injured because of that man's fault and died during the migration three days later.
Shaking his mind to clear his memories, Qingcong once again focused his attention on satisfying Yang Yu's requirements.
For the sake of the revival of the Chamber of Commerce, Qingcong would never say that slaves are not yet ready here.
He could only smile apologetically and said:
"Mr. Plague Company, I'm very sorry that our Chamber of Commerce has suffered the loss of many slaves due to a series of reasons.
I heard that the medicine you made is very strong. They are still in a half-dead state. If you torment them like this, they may die.
I am not trying to shirk responsibility, I am just saying that in this extraordinary period, every slave lost is a huge loss for us."
Yang Yu stood there without saying a word, watching Qingcong's performance quietly.
But just standing there, Yang Yu's black outfit brought huge pressure to Qing Cong. Qing Cong had no choice but to get to the point.
"But we happen to have a new slave here. Although he is small and skinny, he is an elf."
