Chapter 574 Getting Stronger, Arrival
It was finally here. The day that she had been waiting for so long had finally arrived. It seemed that the decision that she had made was actually something that was benefiting her greatly.
At that time, when she decided to follow Eric out of the Stronghold domain, she did not really know about what she was going to get. But in the end, she realized that she had made a good decision.
Although it was true that she nearly died, but it was good that she did not do anything drastic. Otherwise, she would have definitely been accompanying Eric in the underworld right now.
But due to her quick wit, she was able to easily give in, signing a contract that she was going to work for Jack for a year. And after that, when she interacted with Jack, she came to know that he was a good person.
Just looking at Denali who was being treated not as a subordinate, but as a member of the family, Celine's friend and so on, she became interested in being a part of this group.
Friendship began slowly, and finally, Samantha did not feel like she was being held here as a prisoner. In fact, she did not even think much about the contract that she had signed. Although the contract stated that she was supposed to be here for a year, she really didn't care even if she had to stay here for 10 years or more.
In fact, in case Celine was in danger, she was willing to risk her life in order to save her because she was her friend. And then, during that time when Jack suddenly made Celine into a superhuman without hiding it from her, she became more determined to work for him.
And right now, it seemed that even the time that she decided to leave the Butterfly organization was also right. She was going to gain something that if she had stayed within the Butterfly organization, she would have definitely not been capable of gaining it.
Jack did not know what was going on inside Samantha's mind. As for himself, he just went ahead and injected the syrup into Samantha on her arm.
The moment that the syrup was injected into her body, Samantha suddenly felt that her body was warming up. The temperature of her body increased at a high rate, that in no time at all, she began sweating buckets.
"You can help her to get in the bathroom. She will need to soak in water. And when I say water, I mean a lot of water." Jack stated as he looked at Samantha.
Celine and Denali supported Samantha and took her upstairs. After that, they placed her inside a water tab, naked, and filled it with cold water. But what surprised them was the fact that in just a few seconds, the water that was cold previously suddenly began boiling.
It was also at this moment that they finally understood what Jack was trying to imply. So, they continuously opened water to flow. At the same time, they allowed the air conditioner to continue running, while making sure that it made the room as cold as it could be.
The two of them were already superhumans, so they will not much affected by the decrease in the temperature.
As for the mist that was coming from the evaporating water, it was easily taken out of this place by the fan. This was the advantage of the advanced technology that could be found within the stronghold domain. It was easy to isolate the moisture in the air, taking the hot air out, while leaving the cold air in. Vice versa could also apply.
…
Downstairs, Jack decided to take the booster serum. According to the system, this serum did not have much of an effect, well, side effect. But nevertheless, it was enough to be able to boost his strength by a good margin.
Previously, after taking a 7 star serum, Celine who had been at the first stage of the superhuman level had been boosted to the fourth stage of the superhuman level. That was quite an increase, by three stages.
As for himself, he was currently at the 5th stage of the superhuman level. And after taking the booster serum, he was definitely going to be able to advance. Though, he was not sure about how many stages he was going to be able to rise.
After taking out the booster serum out of the cartridge, Jack went ahead and injected himself. And after the injection, nothing actually happened.
He waited for 5 minutes. And just as he was getting a little bit impatient, the effects finally began appearing.
He suddenly felt that the strength that he possessed had suddenly shot off the roof. It was not a step-by-step boost, but instead, it was as if he was previously at level 1, and suddenly, he appeared at level 10.
Something like that caught him off-guard, making him have difficulty in a controlling the strength that he possessed. For that reason, he broke the armrest of the couch that he was sitting on due to the fact that he was exerting strength at that point.
Bang!
Even as the armrest of the couch was broken, Jack did not care about that at all. Instead, he only focused on the increase in strength that he had gotten.
The thing that surprised him was the fact that this boost actually just took effect once. And after that, there was no any other effect that appeared. That implied that the effect of the booster serum had ended.
[Yes, the booster serum has already taken effect. If you are actually waiting for it to increase your strength more than it has already done so, then you can keep on dreaming.]
After the prompt from the system, Jack finally confirmed that it was true that the effect of the booster serum had actually ended. At the same time, he could not help but wonder just how many stages he had improved with.
The booster serum had not given him a chance of counting how many genetic locks had been broken during the time that he was leveling up. Everything was just done with a snap of a finger, denying him the chance of slowly counting the genetic locks as they were broken.
[Currently, the host is at the 8th stage of the superhuman level. But the strength that the host possesses can match equally that of a superhuman at the 9th stage of the superhuman level.]
With the system prompt, Jack could finally confirm the strength that he possessed. But, there was something that confused him a little.
A 7-star serum was capable of enabling a stage 1 superhuman to be able to level up by three times. As for him, an 8-star serum was only capable of enabling him to level up by three times as well? Wasn't that a little bit low?
At the end of the day, although it was true that a 7-star serum and an 8-star serum were just a single star away from each other, but the effects were completely different.
The effects of the 8-star serum was more than thrice that of a 7-star serum. And although it was true that the resources that were required by a stage five superhuman to level up was higher as compared to a stage 1 superhuman, but didn't the serum that he took of a high level as well?
Well, deciding not to think much of the matter because there was nothing that was going to change, Jack decided to focus on trying to control his strength.
And thanks to the fact that he possessed the hundred times multiplier effect, he was able to gain control of himself quite quickly. Although he could not fully control the strength that he currently possessed, he was still able to control himself when it came to some simple matters like walking around and so on.
…
Samantha had upgraded as well. After taking the syrup, she had already managed to reach the superhuman level. But, for some reason, she had only reached the second stage of the superhuman level.
Although currently she was considered the weakest amongst the group of four, Samantha was excited nonetheless. At the end of the day, she had finally become a superhuman.
Additionally, she had even gone ahead and gone past the level of the leader of the previous organization that she was in. So, this was definitely something that she had never been even dreaming about. But right now, it had happened.
On the other hand, Jack did not focus much on Samantha. Instead, he looked at the two items that were still remaining in the workshop. Those were obviously the berserk booster serum, and the cell invigorant syrup.
Although the multiplier effect was applied, that did not imply that the original ones would disappear. Instead, they would still remain there.
Looking at these two, they were completely useless to everyone here. That was unless Samantha decided to take it. But what was the use of her taking something like that considering that she could gain better resources later on?
So, at this point, Jack decided that he was going to sell these two. Of course, he already knew that there was not going to be any multiplier effect after selling and gaining something.
But who said that he could not gain anything after selling what he would have gained after selling the two items? That was actually what he was planning. He was planning on exploiting the system completely.
…
While Jack was improving himself, and selling the communication devices, 2 days past. And during these past 2 days, several changes had occurred within the stronghold.
While several organizations made moves in order to acquire the communication devices from Jack, someone else had actually arrived at the stronghold.
And of course, the moment that he appeared, Jack was informed immediately. This guy who had come over possessed a muscular physique. And when he came over, he did not even put on an armor, but he was just wearing a simple vest that exposed his bulky stature.
This was a person that came from Jimbo Stronghold, someone that had been sent over by Derek's family in order to get the person who had killed Derek and his guardian.
