Chapter 250 Lucario: Honestly, You'd Better Stay Away From the Test Bench in the Future

Zhou You noticed that the potion that was just there suddenly disappeared, and his eyes were full of doubts, but he quickly guessed who took his things.

From the beginning, there were only himself, Alakazam, Charizard, Little Fairy, Bamboo Ran, and Lucario near the test bench.

First, excluding himself, Bamboo Ran, and Lucario who had no motive for committing the crime, and then excluding Charizard and Little Fairy who had no ability to commit the crime, the real culprit was obvious-Alakazam.

With the existence of things like instant teleportation and exchange of venues, alibis are meaningless...

"As expected of a green elf, he is really cruel to himself." Zhou You couldn't help but sigh.

With the physical fitness of an elf like Alakazam, even if he can change his taste or flavor with super powers, he will probably have to squat in the toilet for a long time after eating that thing.

But even so, Alakazam still took all the potions.

It can be seen that the temptation of becoming stronger is too great for it!

An hour later, Alakazam returned to the laboratory and refused to admit that he took the remaining potions.

Zhou You didn't care too much about this, but just patted its shoulder and told it not to work too hard, otherwise he would have a hard time explaining to Qinglu, who certainly didn't want it to trade health for strength.

During this time, Zhulan took a few candies to find Dr. Yamanashi to talk about the scarlet eyes he had just seen, and Lucario stayed in the laboratory as a happy taster.

Another hour later, Zhou You improved his operating steps with the help of the weak Alakazam and further optimized the Soul Toffee Extract.

This time he did not filter the same substance alone, but left some of the remaining ingredients in the potion. The carrier made of a mixture of multiple ingredients made the energy it carried more stable.

The effect was better, but it was also more unpalatable.

"Lucario, do you want to try it?"

After the chemical refining (?), Zhou You held the test tube and looked at the panicked Lucario, and explained seriously: "Just like perfume and feces have the same ingredient, when the concentration of a certain thing reaches a certain level, the performance will be completely different, so the candy after purification will be so bitter that it will make people doubt life.

"But don't worry, Alakazam will use its superpowers so that you won't feel that this thing is very bitter and unpalatable when you put it in your mouth.

"So... do you want to try it? Of course I won't force you if you don't want to, but I will find a way to improve it."

Lucario said nothing.

It couldn't understand.

How did Zhou You extract the mysterious liquid that was so bitter that it made people doubt life from a pile of sugar with the help of Alakazam?

Is this thing really edible?

But...this is the task left by Zhulan after all.

In the end, Lucario showed a heroic look and nodded to Alakazam.

Take a bite, he is a steel-attributed Pokémon that is immune to all poisons, and there will be no problem with just one bite.

Alakazam used his psychic power to take out three milliliters of liquid from the test tube, poured it into a psychic spoon, changed the taste of the liquid, and handed it to Lucario.

"Lu... Ka?"

Originally, Lucario was very nervous, but after taking the potion, he found that it was not as bitter as he imagined.

Alakazam's psychic power improved the taste of the liquid very well, making it relatively delicious, as soft and comfortable as a mouthful of hot soup.

Apart from the taste, the effect of the potion is indeed incredibly strong.

Experiencing the changes in his body through the power of waveguide, Lucario can feel that after drinking the super concentrated milk candy, his body's defense against energy has grown rapidly as if it has awakened a new power, almost forcibly improving by nearly half (2 points)! ?

Zhou You: Normal, after all, a level 50 Lucario only has 75 points of double defense, you are a fake steel Pokémon that is more fragile than Pachirisu.

It seems that as long as the bitterness problem can be solved, the effect of the purified milk candy is still excellent.

"Luka!"

But the next moment, Zhulan's Lucario's originally happy expression suddenly shook, and turned into something uglier than eating stinky mud!

It's bad!

I shouldn't use the power of waveguide to sense the body!

Alakazam's superpowers were unconsciously cracked by it! ! !

The bitterness burst out instantly!

The mouth, tongue, throat, and stomach were as hot as an explosion, and the indescribable bitterness rushed directly into Lucario's mind!

If we use the terminology of the game-

Zhulan's Lucario, who acquired the "mental power" characteristic, actually fell into a "cowardly" state for the first time!

The Lucario, whose speed increased by one level, knelt on the spot and retched, and then rushed to the sink like lightning to turn on the faucet, put his head in and used clean water to wash his mouth, which seemed to have been plowed by artillery fire all day.

Finally, ten minutes later, Lucario returned to normal, panting, and told Zhou You the general situation through the waveguide.

"I see, the effect is really good?" Zhou You nodded, such a result was within his expectations.

Of course, the bitter taste was even more expected.

Wake up.

After all, the reason why Xiaoxiannai can make spiritual milk candy that enhances ability is because it takes in the secret from the 0th area of ​​Padia: bitter ingredients.

If it is not bitter, you will suspect whether it has deteriorated/ineffective.

However, the fact that Lucario's wave power can remove superpowers is beyond his expectations - it is not Zhou You's original intention to let the elves feel pain while eating candy.

"So as long as we ask Alakazam to modify the taste through super powers, or let Eden manipulate the victim's...user's taste through illusion, we can improve the ability without any side effects.

"But even so, only the first few bites can directly and effectively improve the special defense, and the effect is minimal afterwards, so we can only eat ordinary candies slowly over time."

But is there really no way to solve this bitter taste?

If it can't be solved, it will be difficult to mass produce and make money!

"Will it be better if it is diluted? No, then I purify it and it is not pure. "

Shaking his head to get rid of the unrealistic idea, Zhou You took a deep look at the test tube in his hand, raised his head and drank the rest.

"I want to see if I can vomit vomit vomit vomit..."

As expected, Zhou You vomited for half a minute before returning to normal.

"Aho? ”

You really want to eat it even though you know it’s so bitter?

Charizard was stunned.

Wait, it’s obviously stronger and more bitter than last time, but Qiao Qiao’s retching time is shorter this time?

“How weird, take another bite, my body is almost resistant to it.” Zhou You looked at the second test tube in his hand with a little surprise, “Does it mean that as long as the effect is strengthened little by little, I can get used to this taste?”

Speaking of which, it seems to be the same in the game.

Ordinary candy can only increase the awakening value by 50 points, and there is no condition for use.

L-type candy can increase the awakening value to 100 points on this basis, and the premise of using it is to reach level 30.

XL type can increase it to a maximum of 200 points, provided that the level reaches 60.

“Is this a process of gradually improving tolerance and adaptation? Forget it, I will slowly experiment later. "

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Zhou You and the elves simply cleaned up the laboratory, stored the remaining potions, and went downstairs to enjoy the dinner prepared by Nanami Ooki for them.

…

When they restarted the experiment the next day, they found that the remaining potions from the previous night were missing again, but that's another story.
