Chapter 225 - 225: Antidote Formula
“My assistance?” Liao Ning was slightly perplexed. “But I don’t possess any knowledge about warfare or combat strategies.”
“I need your ancient delicacies,” Li Xian responded without hesitation. “I have studied the properties of your ancient delicacies. They have the potential to help mermaids break free from the effects of the loyalty potion. With your ancient delicacies, it is only a matter of time before the mermaid army liberates themselves from the empire’s control.”
“I’m not entirely sure what those delicacies are. However, if you allow me to contact the researchers in interstellar space, I might be able to assist you,” Liao Ning suggested.
After hearing Liao Ning’s words, Li Xian fell silent for a moment before saying,
“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Finally, Liao Ning regained her Al communication signal, and an influx of information flooded in. Without delay, she quickly contacted Jin Xiang.
As the scene changed, Jin Xiang spoke anxiously, “Liao Ning, were you abducted? The Interstellar Alliance will definitely find a way to rescue you!”
Liao Ning glanced awkwardly at Li Xian and replied, “Jin Xiang, let’s discuss my situation later. How did the Golden Toad experiment go that I asked you to conduct?”
Upon seeing Li Xian, Jin Xiang recognized the all-powerful leader of the rebel army. As an interstellar space researcher, she was well aware of his reputation.
However, noticing that Liao Ning appeared unharmed, Jin Xiang said, “The Golden Toad does possess detoxification properties, but it requires high temperatures to activate the detoxifying molecules within it. When combin with the seafood and fish you used in your recent live streams, it can produ certain effect. However, it is only effective against diluted loyalty potions. I the potion has a higher concentration, progress might be slower. Neverthel consuming Golden Toads regularly can gradually counteract the effects of t potion.”
Hearing Jin Xiang’s words, Liao Ning couldn’t contain her excitement, and ] Xian eagerly interjected, “Is this true?”
“Absolutely. I am a student of Lin Song, and the results provided by the Interstellar Space Research Institute are unquestionably reliable!” Jin Xiang affirmed.
At that moment, the system’s voice resounded in Liao Ning’s mind.
[Ding! System Notification: Mission Complete. Reward received: 1,000 system points, 1,000,000 star coins, and the antidote formula for the loyalty potion.]
Instantly, the antidote formula for the loyalty potion appeared in Liao Ning’s Al interface.
[Loyalty Potion Antidote: Heat the Golden Toad to 100 degrees Celsius. Combine it with other seafood proteins and a dash of sea salt to create a potent soup.]
Liao Ning felt a mixture of helplessness and surprise. She hadn’t expected the powerful elven potion to be countered by something as simple as the Golden Toad. It seemed that the antidote formula was an ancient remedy.
Glancing at Li Xian, Liao Ning made a decision. She would share the formula but keep the existence of the system a secret.
“Li Xian, I would like to utilize your laboratory and researchers. Perhaps together, we can discover an antidote for the loyalty potion.”
Li Xian looked at her with gratitude and tried to control his emotions as he bowed deeply. “Thank you for being willing to let go of the past. If we can find a solution to free the mermaids from control, I will arrange for your return to interstellar space. From now on, you will be our benefactor.”
Hearing Li Xian’s offer to send her back, Liao Ning exchanged a subtle glance with Zhou Ye. He nodded slightly, relieved that they might be able to rescue Liao Ning easily. This would ensure Zhou Ling’s safety as well.
Upon reaching the laboratory, Liao Ning began to prepare more dishes using the Golden Toad. She combined it with various fish and shellfish, and as expected, they proved to be effective antidotes.
Tina grasped Liao Ning’s hand excitedly. “Liao Ning, you truly are the savior of the mermaids. We can finally break free from the royal family’s control!”
“Without oppression, mermaids can live in equality,” Li Xian added, equally thrilled.
He had always envisioned a society free from oppression and built on principles of equality. With Liao Ning’s assistance, he was one step closer to realizing his dream.
Liao Ning inquired hastily, “Should we make the formula public now?”
She felt that Loya’s actions today were very inappropriate. Perhaps many mermaids were rebelling now. If they could drink the antidote themselves, the mermaids would be free of their control.
However, Li Xian shook his head. “No, we won’t publicize the formula. Instead, we want the merfolk to take the initiative to join the rebel army..”
