Chapter 214: Simplified Version
To them, Gaffrite was one of the most powerful people at the Death Gate City. At the present moment, though Tyrion was just a F-grade certified Chemist, he was having a legendary moment!
Gaffrite's face became serious. He then said, "I don't know if I should call you Mr. Fiend or Mr. Lickeden?"
"Since the whole world is addressing me as Mr. Fiend, you can do the same," Tyrion calmly said.
"Mr. Fiend, you should know why I have been looking for you," Gaffrite said in a serious tone.
Tyrion frowned and asked, "Is it because of the enhanced Atomic Serum? Even though its efficacy is four times that of a regular Atomic Serum, it would not be viewed equally in terms of importance, would it?"
Gaffrite replied with a wry smile, "It seems that Mr. Fiend is not aware of the nickname for the enhanced Atomic Serum, the Fantasy Serum! In fact, I have the latest analysis report of the Fantasy Serum with me. You will understand after reading it."
Gaffrite handed the analysis report to Tyrion.
"Fantasy Serum?" Tyrion was shocked, as he was unaware that the enhanced Atomic Serum had been given such a lofty nickname. He opened the analysis report and started to read it. The more he read, the grimmer his face became. He was astounded.
"When analyzed after Prenatal use, the cell base value showed a reach of nearly 600 points? And, it can produce great geniuses in batches?" Tyrion repeated the data, feeling his brain about to explode with excitement.
As he was unable to process the data further, he closed the analysis report. He then looked at Gaffrite and said, "Could the Alchemy Guild have made a mistake? The enhanced Atomic Serum can really double the cell base value? That's simply amazing!"
Legend said that the strongest God of War, had a cell base value that reached the human limit of 900 points. This was three times the original value!
In Blue Swirl, one with a cell base value of 600 points would be considered a great genius. It had never occurred to Tyrion that the enhanced Atomic Serum would have such a powerful effect.
"How else could it be called the Fantasy Serum?" Gaffrite confirmed with a wry smile, then said, "It has a groundbreaking significance for all mankind."
"You wait a minute. I want to think about this carefully," Tyrion said, while he raised his hands.
Gaffrite also understood how powerful the impact of the report was. When the analysis report had first come out, the impact on the entire six cities Alchemy Guild headquarters was like a big earthquake had rocked the entire place. It had even created a great stir at the top headquarters! Hence, it was normal that Tyrion needed some time to calm down, especially after receiving such shocking news!
"System, you didn't tell me that the enhanced Atomic Serum has become such a phenomenon!" Tyrion groaned quietly.
Tyrion nodded in agreement, then turned to Gaffrite and said, "Mr. President, I already know what the analysis report is about. I wonder what the Alchemy Guild is going to do now..."
"The Alchemy Guild would like to buy the formula of Fantasy Serum from you," Gaffrite said. "No matter how much the price is, we are willing to pay it!"
Tyrion smiled and asked, "Do you think that I will sell the formula to you? And, even if I were to sell it to you, it would be useless, as I am the only one who knows how to refine it, while adding in the most important material."
Gaffrite smiled awkwardly, as he had predicted that Tyrion would not agree to the offer. He then said, "If that's the case, the Alchemy Guild intends to buy the Fantasy Serum from you at a million for each bottle. Of course, if you feel that the price is too low, you can ask for a higher price."
Tyrion shook his head and said, "The price of a million for a bottle is very high. Unfortunately, you also know that the Fantasy Serum can't be mass-produced. Therefore, I don't have much of it left, so I am unable to sell it in huge quantities."
The production of such a precious serum must be very limited. This was something that Gaffrite had anticipated.
"If Mr. Fiend is willing, let the Alchemy Guild join you in studying the way to mass-produce it. We can give you all the help you need, whether it's by supplying you with Chemists or sourcing for scarce materials," Gaffrite said in a serious tone.
"There are conditions, right?" Tyrion laughed, feeling that this offer was too good to be true.
"If mass production is achieved, the Alchemy Guild will be the sole agency that is allowed to sell the Fantasy Serum. At the same time, it will take 90% of the profits," Gaffrite said in a demanding manner.
"You want a monopoly on the right to sell, plus 90% of the shares?! That's too much," Tyrion said, while he shook his head.
Gaffrite said, "Mr. Fiend, you should understand that, in order to achieve the mass production of the Fantasy Serum, we must devote a lot of research to it. That also includes hiring master Chemists and putting time and resources into the ongoing research. All these things will require a large amount of ...."
Tyrion raised his hand and interrupted him, then said, "I will not agree to your request. Firstly, your request is too much. Even if I do not cooperate with you, I will have a lot of consortiums to fund my research. Secondly, the Fantasy Serum cannot be mass-produced because the raw materials that it needs are too scarce."
Gaffrite was unwilling to give up. "Can you tell us what the main raw material is? We can search the entire Blue Swirl for you, or we can even research for a substitute."
"I can't tell you what the main material is. It is a trade secret. However, I can only say that it is unique." Tyrion was very straightforward.
Gaffrite's face looked gloomy. He had failed to achieve what he wanted, even after several negotiation attempts. The Alchemy Guild wanted to have the rights to sell and mass-produce that Fantasy Serum!
"Although the enhanced Atomic Serum cannot be mass-produced, I recently developed a new serum. Although its efficacy is not as powerful as the enhanced Atomic Serum, it can be mass-produced." Tyrion suddenly changed the topic.
Gaffrite's curiosity was instantly piqued, so he asked, "Are you sure you've come up with a new serum?"
"You can think of it as a simplified version of the enhanced Atomic Serum. It is only half as effective as the enhanced Atomic Serum, but is twice as effective as a regular Atomic Serum," Tyrion said calmly.
"Will it be effective for the Original Beings?" Gaffrite asked hastily.
