Chapter 143 Human Alchemy
"As for the third question"...
Mr. Lin happily wiped the corners of his eyes, and then continued:
"I won't ask the third question for now. I'll talk about it in two years."
"Why are you looking at me like that? Although I didn't ask you the third question, I will keep it a secret for you."
Seeing Zhang Qi's confused expression, Mr. Lin smiled and cursed:
"I will ask you this question in two years, so you can think about it first."
After saying that, the old man stood up and knocked on the table with his knuckles. All the tea sets floated and he returned to the cabinet.
The flame in the tea stove also went out, the sound of boiling water gradually stopped, and the room fell into silence again.
"Okay, it's getting late. Lao Zou and the others are still waiting for you, so go back as soon as possible."
Mr. Lin said to Zhang Qi.
"...I hope you can keep your promise, Grandpa Lin."
Zhang Qi looked at Mr. Lin's face for a long time, and then said slowly:
"It's better not to be too clear about some things, or you'll get into trouble."
"Yeah, so I won't talk to the second person about it".
Mr. Lin said with a half-smile.
"That's good, I hope you can really keep your promise."
Zhang Qi said lightly, then stood up.
"Junior Zhang Qi bids farewell to President Lin."
Zhang Qi cupped his hands towards Mr. Lin, then opened the door of the conference room and walked out without looking back.
"A very interesting kid, but unfortunately, he's not particularly good at holding back."
Mr. Lin looked at Zhang Qi's leaving figure and shook his head.
"He still has a long way to go in the future."
…………
"What did Lao Lin talk about with you?"
As soon as Zhang Qi walked out of the conference room, Zou Shu came up from the side and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, the old man just hasn't seen me for a long time, so he asked me to chat about some household matters."
Zhang Qi said to Zou Shu with a smile.
Zhang Qi's current mood is actually not very good.
What Mr. Lin just said made him feel a sense of threat.
but……
It's not that Zhang Qi has never thought about taking action directly, but the other party is indeed an acquaintance with his grandfather, so it is not good to take action directly.
and……
Zhang Qi is not sure that he can beat the opponent. Mr. Lin is a real heavenly master, the kind with a brand, and countless evil spirits have died at his hands.
So there is no other way, just endure it for now.
But how did he know his deepest secret?
Zhang Qi fell into deep thought.
"Child, I still advise you to choose the alchemy prosthetic eye directly. It's up to you to choose the function and so on. I don't charge you any money."
Zou Shu saw Zhang Qi frowning and thought he was upset about Astoria, so he tried to persuade him:
"I can definitely make that thing no different from an ordinary person, or even a little more beautiful than an ordinary person"...
"Mr. Zou, I want to ask you a question."
Zhang Qi suddenly spoke at this time, interrupting Zou Shu's words.
"What questions do you have? As long as it's about alchemy, I should be able to answer it."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then said.
“How much do you know about human alchemy”?
Zhang Qi frowned and asked slowly.
"This is a taboo subject, and China's ethics review department explicitly prohibits bioalchemy experiments without approval - even if it is only applied on animals."
"Miss Greengrass's family is a dragon-born family. I'm wondering, if human alchemy is used to activate the remaining dragon blood in her body, will her lost eyes be able to grow back?"
Zhang Qi asked immediately.
"The resilience of the Dragonborn is indeed extraordinary. Even if the limbs are broken, they can regrow them. However, even if we put aside the moral illegality of human alchemy, the awakening of the Dragonborn is particularly difficult. Most people cannot resist it. Painful transformation, dying in this process"...
"So what you're saying is that my idea is feasible"?
Zhang Qi asked very excitedly.
"Theoretically it is indeed possible, but in reality it is basically impossible to operate. There has been no awakened dragonborn in this world for hundreds of years, and according to the basic principles of alchemy, you need to provide an awakened dragonborn Only by using the blood of the organ as a primer can this alchemical matrix be properly activated."
"But I have just said that there has not been an awakened dragonborn in the world for hundreds of years. If you use the blood of the fire dragon instead, some huge accidents will probably happen due to insufficient purity. This is a disservice to Green. Miss Glass’s irresponsibility”…
Zou Shu wanted to say something more, but the words got stuck in his throat before he could say anything.
Zhang Qi blinked at him, and the originally blue round pupils suddenly turned into golden vertical pupils. For a moment, Zou Shu felt as if the air around him had become stagnant.
"Okay, this time we no longer lack the blood of the awakened dragonborn, so maybe the only thing that is holding us back is the approval from the China Ethics and Moral Review Office"?
Zhang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said to Zou Shu.
"You, you are actually"...
Zou Shu stared at Zhang Qi in shock, and even his breathing became rapid.
"It's incredible, but don't you know the danger of doing this? Even though a thousand years have passed, most of the forces that are spying on you dragonborn are still active in the dark, just in case"...
"What if they take the risk of offending France and Chinese officials and take me away to refine the Philosopher's Stone"?
Zhang Qi shrugged his shoulders, showing an indifferent expression.
"I don't even dare to borrow their courage."
"...I have heard about your mother's methods in the snowy mountains of Kunlun Mountain. What you said is indeed right"...
Zou Shu thought carefully for a while, then nodded.
Many forces wanted to touch this child, but they all died miserably in the end.
"But I don't think the China Ethics Review Agency will approve it, and if they don't approve it, I won't be able to help you."
Zou Shu sighed.
"And how is your alchemy background? If possible, provide me with some special alchemy books from Hogwarts. I think our progress will be faster."
"I would like to ask, if there is no interference from external forces, how long will it take to complete this matter?"
Zhang Qi asked.
"If you can provide some complete information on human alchemy in Western Europe, it will take me about three days to engrave the alchemical matrix, but it will also take you at least a year to adjust Miss Greengrass's physique so that she can endure it. It can be called a transformation process of a narrow escape.”
Zou Shu counted with his fingers for a while, and then answered with great certainty.
