Chapter 417 Cooling Reagent Formula
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky suddenly turned from night to day.
Yang Yan handed the papers in his hand to Lu Youyou, then staggered to the garage, got into his car, and went to sleep.
hum~
Please check the gift you received from your friend Yang Yan.
Lu Youyou was awakened by the vibration of her watch. She opened her eyes groggily and found that Yang Yan had sent her a message.
[Yang Yan: Youyou, the blue color of the calming agent varies under different lighting conditions. I've figured it out. Try it on one side. By the way, I'm going to sleep in the car. You can put away the base anytime.]
She handed over the paper Yang Yan had sent her. Although it was only one sheet, the picture only showed five shades of blue that were not noticeably different to the naked eye.
But she knew that this was the result of Yang Yan's tireless efforts.
Lu Youyou opened the [Reagent Station] and operated on the screen according to the proportions given by Yang Yan.
The first method failed; the test tube on the screen exploded.
What followed was a series of failures.
Yang Yan's efforts of a day and a night were proven ineffective by Lu Youyou in less than a minute.
There's only one option left.
Her fingers trembled, and she hesitated to tap the screen.
It was only then that she realized that she and Yang Yan had oversimplified the chemical reaction.
The synthesis of cooling reagents is not simply a matter of matching colors; rather, it requires considering the acid-base properties of each reagent.
Perhaps red reagent turns blue when mixed with water... but this is a phenomenon that would never exist in art.
She was so overwhelmed by the calming agent that she didn't think of that.
The repeated failures on the screen now brought her to her senses.
Chemical reagents are not pigments.
She sat up, drank half a bottle of mineral water in one gulp, and made up her mind.
Whether it works or not, she's going to give it a try.
hum~
The watch vibrated.
A message came from the team group chat.
[Zhan Yu: @All members, the fog has thickened, and the monsters within have become stronger! Please be careful when going out.]
[Li Jinyue: Everyone, please don't go out unnecessarily. I see quite a few people have died on the public chat.]
[Zhang Yuning: Mist cores used to be easy to obtain, except for golden mist cores, which were rare. But now, you only get one ordinary mist core after killing ten monsters. This isn't right!]
[Wang Rongrong: Is the master starting to increase the intensity of our lives because he sees we're living a good life?]
【…】
The chat continued, and seeing everyone's unease, Lu Youyou sent a message to explain the situation.
[Lu Youyou: Everyone, please avoid going out unless absolutely necessary. The situation is serious. Let's observe the situation first. I won't be taking over the base today. Don't worry, the base is safe.]
After sending that message, she returned to the [Reagent Station] page and, following the proportions given by Yang Yan, slowly but firmly clicked on the screen.
After successfully selecting all the reagents, she clicked on the word "Make".
On the screen, reagents of different colors are mixed.
The mixed test tube was gently shaken, and the liquid inside turned into the light blue color that Lu Youyou was familiar with.
She held her breath, waiting for the test tube to explode, just like the previous times.
Unexpectedly, the test tube did not explode, and the words "Bouncing In" appeared on the screen from left to right.
Lu Youyou looked at the words and silently read: Congratulations on creating the calming agent. The formula has been successfully entered.
"Cooling agent!"
She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "It actually worked?"
Ignoring the acidity or alkalinity of the reagents, and relying solely on artistic color matching, a cooling reagent can actually be created.
This is simply a miracle!
In the [Reagent Station], she can collect 200 bottles of pre-entered formula reagents every day.
In addition, there are random reagents available for collection at irregular intervals.
It was as if the heavens were helping Lu Youyou. She had just collected 200 bottles of calming reagent when she discovered that the random reagent that appeared on the screen was also a calming reagent.
A total of 213 bottles of calming reagent were collected.
Putting all of these into the crafting table, Lu Youyou made a total of 213 bottles of Monster Calming Spray.
Give Yang Yan 30 bottles, then give each of the other members 5 bottles, and keep the rest for yourself.
hum~
A message was sent to the team's group chat.
[Xiao Liu: Big sister, I'm so grateful, thank you for being there~ (Singing and dancing version)]
[Zhan Yu: Thank you for being there~ (Singing energetically behind Xiao Liu)]
[Zhen Lu: ~ (High note that grabs everyone's attention)]
[Zhang Weimin: Huh?]
[Zhang Yuning: Dad, if you don't understand how young people communicate, don't disrupt the flow. (She hurriedly pulls her father away)]
[Zhang Weimin: Who says I don't understand? (Grabs the microphone and sings solo)]
Lu Youyou: ……
That's great! The members themselves can act in TV dramas now, it's quite fun.
Just as she was about to close the team group chat, Lu Youyou saw a message from Li Jinyue and her expression turned serious.
[Li Jinyue: @All members, I don't know what's going on, the enhanced paralysis bullets aren't working on the monsters anymore! If it weren't for the monster calming spray Youyou gave me, I would have died outside.]
[Zhang Yuning: It's not working at all? Or has the paralysis time on the monsters become shorter?]
[Li Jinyue: It didn't work at all. The situation was very strange, like... the monster's program suddenly updated. The paralysis bullets that used to work suddenly stopped working, and the monster just charged at me and used its skills.]
[Li Jinyue: I had gotten used to the monster. Everyone was just doing their jobs and we could all go easy on each other. But suddenly the monster went berserk and started attacking people.]
[Xiao Liu: I understand that feeling. It's like a familiar body containing a strange soul. Even without evidence, you just feel that something has changed.]
[Zhan Yu: This is so weird? They even added souls. I feel like the adults just increased the difficulty, and those monsters who were just going to work in a daze are now showing their true strength.]
[Wang Rongrong: Thanks to Sister Youyou, if it weren't for her, Jin Yue would probably be in grave danger. What materials are needed to make the Monster Calming Spray? Let's all chip in some money.]
Lu Youyou didn't hide anything either.
[Lu Youyou: I need a calming agent, peppermint, and a pump head.]
As for the other material used to make the spray—iron blocks—Lu Youyou didn't mention it.
She has plenty of those things in her backpack; there's no need for everyone to contribute.
[Zhen Lu: I have some mint, Sister You, I've forwarded it to you.]
[Zhan Yu: I'll make another batch of pump heads; I have plenty of materials in my backpack.]
【…】
Everyone scraped together enough to send Lu Youyou a lot of mint, so at least they didn't have to worry about the amount of mint she needed.
The problem is that no one can gather enough calming reagent; there isn't a single bottle available.
At this moment, Wang Qiao sent a private message.
[Wang Qiao: Do you have the formula for the calming agent? Could you give it to me? I have a reagent station, and I can collect 200 bottles today.]
[Lu Youyou: Of course.]
She sent the paper Yang Yan had given her to Wang Qiao. The first four types were marked with an X, while only the fifth type was marked with a checkmark, making it easy to understand.
A short while later, Wang Qiao sent Lu Youyou 200 bottles of calming agent.
Lu Youyou immediately placed it on the crafting table to make 200 bottles of Monster Calming Spray.
The gang has a total of 30 people. Each person is given 6 bottles first, and the remaining 20 bottles are put into a common resource pool. Whoever needs them can take them.
Her gang is temporarily safe from the monsters that have grown stronger, but others outside are in for a rough time.
