Although the official ban on the production and sale of superpower potions was in place, the temptation of a potion that can make one instantly stronger was too great.
There were still those who risked danger to manufacture superpower potions for exorbitant profits.
Therefore, even after the official announcent banning superpower potions, there were still superpower potions circulating on the black market and the dark web.
So foolish remarks also appeared online.
So even believed the official ban on superpower potions was because the higher-ups were worried that Superpower Users would beco too strong and difficult to control after injecting the potions.
As a result, there were still Superpower Users going to great lengths to purchase superpower potions, believing it to be a shortcut to becoming more powerful.
The first batch of low-quality superpower potions began to spread within Da Xia, and they were expensive, with the lowest price being 500,000 for one dose.
In my previous life, when the quality of these superpower potions was at its lowest, their price had dropped to 100,000.
This ti, due to the official ban, the amount of superpower potions entering the market was limited, naturally driving up the prices.
After the circulation of low-quality superpower potions began within Da Xia, the situations in other countries were not as bad.
According to intelligence reported back, there were far fewer superpower potions appearing in western countries like the White Eagle Federation.
This situation was very odd.
Lu Heng rembered that in his previous life, the superpower potion incident was global, with Superpower Users all over the world frantically injecting the stuff.
But this ti around, the superpower potions circulated mainly within Da Xia.
The Iron Blood Investigation Bureau was responsible for investigating the channels through which superpower potions entered the market. Chen Linian and Gao Zhitin continued to work overti for many days, only able to sleep four to five hours a day.
To stop the circulation of superpower potions, Iron Blood even issued bounties.
Lu Heng also found it strange, so he and Su Muyu investigated a channel trafficking superpower potions.
It turned out that these superpower potions were not produced dostically but imported from abroad.
These superpower potions were not circulating in other countries; they were all entering Da Xia.
No further investigation was needed for any discerning person to see that it was a conspiracy.
Clearly, the mastermind behind the scenes knew what kind of disaster superpower potions could cause, especially the low-quality ones, whose side effects were even more severe.
If superpower potions were not banned, it would only be a matter of ti before massive numbers of Superpower Users began injecting themselves with these potions.
Within two months, tens of millions of dostic Superpower Users would experience side effects and then kill each other over the superpower potions.
In the most brutal periods, there would even be Superpower Users consuming the blood of other Superpower Users.
This was because the highest quality superpower potions were extracted from the blood of Superpower Users.
Directly consuming fresh blood could also provide another's Source Energy and could be considered a lower-purity form of superpower potion.
By that ti, it would be the darkest mont of the disaster when it reached the point of cannibalism.
Lu Heng was concerned that the Academy of Sciences' labs couldn't predict such situations, so during a call with an Academician from the Defense Science Academy, he proposed an experintal sche.
They injected two mice with superpower potions and then confined them together for experintation.
Within a week, the two mice began to bite each other, and one devoured the other.
The biological laboratory of the Academy of Sciences conducted several batches of experints and ultimately confird the conclusion that when organisms injected with superpower potions experienced withdrawal reactions, they would cannibalize each other.
Once this phenonon occurred in humans, the horror was unimaginable.
Consequently, the Defense Science Academy recomnded, for the third ti, that the ban on superpower potions be intensified.
Any individual or organization within the territory who dared to produce, transport, or sell superpower potions had to be arrested and severely punished.
After executing a batch of criminals who risked danger, these people began to fear.
Because only Da Xia had such harsh enforcent of the superpower potion ban, selling superpower potions within its territory had beco a deadly risk.
In contrast, in other countries, selling superpower potions would not result in any punishnt.
Therefore, the superpower potions originally intended to enter Da Xia began to spread to other countries.
A single dose of low-quality superpower potion could sell for 500,000 to 600,000, and with such huge profits, superpower potions gradually began to proliferate.
Even within the White Eagle Federation, superpower potions began to appear on a large scale.
Financial capital only cared about making money, not the side effects that would occur after injecting superpower potions.
This resulted in the very conspiracy intended for Da Xia backfiring on so countries.
So countries that opened this Pandora's box were unable to close it again, reaping their just deserts.
...
As ti entered the tenth month of Abyss Descent.
Suddenly one day.
While Lu Heng was practicing swordsmanship, Su Muyu ran over and showed a photo on her phone, saying,
"Look at this! I saw it on the foreign internet—is this a Bansel person?"
The photo was quite blurry, but having lived in Stone Hamr Castle among the Bansel Clan for several days, they were well acquainted with this shorter Species and recognized them at a glance.
"It's a Bansel person, where did you see it?"
"I saw it on the foreign internet—soone posted that they found strange Dwarfs in the Edo Suburbs."
Su Muyu explained how she ca across the photo, then pondered and asked, "Could it be that a Superpower User brought the Bansel people to Blue Star?"
