Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 86 Protectors and Predators

There are only three contestants left, who happen to be the "Big Three" of potions masters.

"Catherine!"

"To!"

Maggie smiled and said: "The essence condensation method is really useful, isn't it?"

Catherine also smiled and said: "Yes, sometimes I feel that the scope of application is too much, so I may not be familiar with many magic potion operations because there is no need."

"Hahaha." Maggie said with a smile, "At present, it seems that it is almost impossible for you to be poisoned at the same level."

Catherine waved her hand: "Hey, I've passed it, mentor, I can't be too sure. There are many things that can poison me. This time, the viral vector poison almost made me overturn."

"To be honest, I didn't see the possibility of overturning." Xue Qian said coldly.

Catherine giggled.

Gordon smiled and congratulated: "Anyway, congratulations, Catherine, for successfully advancing."

……

"Yuan Hua!"

Yuan Hua's expression was calm.

Speaking of which, Yuan Hua is calmer today than before. There is no signature slanted smile and no declaration of repeated defeats.

Even the audience felt a little uncomfortable, and some viewers even began to miss Yuan Hua, who had suffered repeated defeats and was full of confidence.

Maggie watched Yuan Hua's entire performance and had only one very high comment: "The process is perfect and pleasing to the eye."

"Thank you!" Yuan Hua leaned back slightly and replied.

Gordon praised: "Being able to meet all the standards, adapt to the situation throughout the process, not slow or hasty, and under control, I think this is the potion master we want to see."

Camilo also said: "Your temperament is also very suitable for a potion master, silent and calm."

Xue Qian opened his eyes and looked at Camilo.

Maggie chuckled.

Yuan Hua raised the corners of his mouth subconsciously and lowered them consciously: "Thank you."

Gordon pretended to be dissatisfied and asked: "Camilo, are you really watching every episode of our program as you said?"

Camilo looked at Gordon and realized that he might have said something wrong. He was silent for a moment and said: "Sorry, I'm too busy..."

Xue Qian showed an expression that was indeed the case.

He smiled and shook his head, then looked at Yuan Hua and said, "Well done, fully qualified."

……

"The last contestant is Lee Do-hyun."

Gordon's tone became much more cheerful, and the corners of his mouth raised.

"I can say that your performance today has impressed me the most since the program has been going on. The entire previous operation process was impeccable and almost perfect. However, what surprised us the most is that you were able to do it in such a simple and rudimentary way. In this case, we never thought about symbiosis with the 'protector' when setting the topic."

The instructor's words not only confused the contestants at the scene, but also confused the audience before the live broadcast.

What is a protector?

What does symbiosis mean?

Isn’t it to detoxify?

Only a few people realize that the name "Protector" probably...maybe...maybe...refers to the viral vector in the poison that assists in its toxicity?

Compared with simple compound poisons, with virus vector-assisted poisons, the difficulty level has increased by more than one degree.

At this time, Lizerota spoke weakly and asked the doubts in most people's minds:

"Excuse me, does the protector refer to the virus carrier?" Lizerota's words reminded everyone. During the competition, Instructor Gordon said: Poisons with difficulty levels 1-4 will have virus carriers.

Gordon also confirmed Lizerota's guess: "That's right!"

protector……

This name immediately aroused the inner complaints of those present. Not to mention violating the rules, it has nothing to do with the virus vector used in the poison!

The purpose of viral vectors is to kill and has nothing to do with protection...

Some people also think, why is it not protection? It is reasonable for viral vectors to serve as protectors of poisons!

It seems that he saw the doubts in everyone's hearts.

Gordon and Maggie looked at each other with a smile. Gordon stretched out his right hand and made a please gesture.

Maggie jumped forward a small step and explained with a smile: "I know everyone is curious, so I will explain it a little bit."

He waved his hand.

The magic power formed an image, with ten colors in total from top to bottom, from red to deep purple.

The difficulty colors chosen by the players this time are the same, and the top four colors are highlighted.

Maggie pointed to the highlighted part and said:

"The full name of the virus involved in the first four difficulties today is 'Protector'. Its original function is not actually a virus vector as a poison, but a symbiote vaccine."

"The purpose is to achieve the effects of physical strengthening, accelerated healing, tissue regeneration and immune strengthening after being injected into the wizard's body."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

The idea is quite good.

It's just that the initial design draft and the final finished product are completely different...

Maggie continued: "But unfortunately, due to various reasons, the 'Protector' experiment did not continue. There are two main reasons."

She held out two fingers: "On the one hand, the virus itself is highly unstable and can cause various adverse reactions, and even the original efficacy will attenuate or even fail. On the other hand, the cost is too high and the success rate is too low. , and even if it succeeds, the wizard's own immune system is very likely to have problems, either being over-activated, or completely shut down under the influence of the virus."

It turned out to be the case.

The latter is unclear, but Li Daoxian has experienced the former personally.

The virus mutated rapidly in a short period of time, escaping its own elimination rounds after rounds, forcing itself to a desperate situation and almost being eliminated.

However, although this mutation once brought him to the edge of elimination, without this mutation, he might not have been able to harvest his first personal characteristics.

It can be regarded as a blessing and a curse.

Li Daoxian was thinking, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, just for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Instructor Maggie continue to say:

"If things end here, it is actually just a failed experiment. However, the Protector Project also produced quite a few fatal by-products."

"Some people have discovered that although this kind of virus vector is difficult to coexist with, its invasion methods are diverse and it will continue to mutate. So they boldly guessed that since it cannot be used for protection, is it possible to use it for combat? After all, destruction is better than destruction. It’s easy to protect…”

"So, while the Protector plan was suspended, the Predator plan was launched, and it was very effective."

"This is the viral vector that was highly hyped some time ago. It can be regarded as an auxiliary supplement to the poison. It should also become mainstream to a certain extent in the future."

The contestants and the audience before the live broadcast listened with great interest to the popular science provided by Instructor Maggie.

Before, they had more or less seen reports on "viral vectors" from the Magic Network, but they would not tell the whole story clearly like Maggie.

Some contestants speculated that Maggie’s mentor might also be involved. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know it so clearly. Maybe everyone of the three mentors has a share.
