lightsΝοvεl ƈοm The all-rounder body-augmentations did not sound nearly as impressive as some of the more focused ones precisely because of there was only one possibility of stable configuration of empowerment.
[General Augmentation Pill]
Augments all parameters of the body to a modest degree.
[Base Empowerment Potion]
Also augmented all parameters of the body to a modest degree.
Of course Rui understood why. The magnitude of the empowerment could not be the same as some of the other potions because it was spread out across the entire physiology, or more so than the specialized body augmentation treatments that needed to empower a portion of the body.
It certainly wasn't bad and would undoubtedly culminate in combat to make a substantial difference, but at the same time, Rui was rather displeased with both the lacking potency and flexibility of the general augmentation. Not all the available augmentations were lacking in potency and flexibility.
Rui glanced at the Roaring Dragon Blood Potion. This potion would empower his breathing, allowing him to exert greater force with his breathing. This was a potion that empowered the diaphragm of his body in general.
If he took this potion, he would be able to grow significantly more power than he already was, but he would also be able to exert that power in a power that was more flexible.
On top of that, from his understanding, domain techniques made use of breathing techniques more often that not. Rui quickly made a choice. "I'll go for this one," Rui pointed at a Roaring Dragon Blood Potion, turning to the woman seated opposite him.
He was seated in an office of an executive that was personally handling his needs. At the Senior Realm, each Senior was worth individualized attention, especially one such as Rui.
"Yes, but that's not what I wanted to speak about," Julian heaved a sigh. "You remember those topics that you asked me to open research projects on?"
"Right," Rui recalled the alibi that he had Julian prepare for so that he could shift credibility for the basis of the Hungry Pain technique.
"Well, a certain Doctor Garnen has made several donations to the projects and I have received several grants from the Martial Union randomly out of nowhere," Julian threw pointed look at Rui. "Even the dullest of minds would be able to deduce that this because of you."
Rui laughed. "Doctor Garnen eh? He was the most curious to meet the person that I credited the Hungry Pain technique to. He and the Martial Union must have deduced that it's you, just as planned"
"What?"
"Don't worry about it," Rui replied, smiling. "The Martial Union will probably make several offers to you to join their research and development department, feel free to look them over."
Julian heaved a tired sigh. "I wish you wouldn't involve me in your mischief. What are you up to this time?"
"Don't worry about it," Rui laughed. "Just make sure you exploit those fools. Make sure to squeeze them for everything they have."
Julian only grew more troubled at the sight of Rui indulging his amusement. Rui on the other hand was glad that everybody had fallen for his trap. He had given the impression that the theoretical foundation, from which Rui gained the understanding needed to then create the Hungry Pain technique, came from Julian.
As he expected, they had concluded that Julian was likely this highly esteemed person that Rui had referred to in his presentation of the Hungry Pain technique. That was why they were undoubtedly eager to build a working relationship with him to eventually bring him into the Martial Union.
"Have fun, and keep dazzling them with your brilliance, it is crucial that they remain fallen for it," Rui patted his brother on his shoulder.
Julian felt a headache coming up at those words.
