Looking over the module’s details, Loki decisively downloaded the brewing stand Recipe Expansion module.
The enhancement effect of the Super Soldier Serum was exceptionally strong and extremely useful to Loki.
The price was also just right, though it meant Vik’s debt would have to be put off a bit longer.
Nowadays, whether it was edgerunners, gang members, or corporate troops, everyone had a demand for physical enhancement.
After all, not everyone was a cyberware addict; native physical strength was extremely useful in many situations.
Aside from raw physical training, there were quite a few drugs on the market designed to boost physical strength, but their effects were mediocre.
Beyond that, biological cyberware augmentations were another decent option, but that technology was still developing and had not seen widespread application yet.
In comparison, the Super Soldier Serum’s physical enhancement was ridiculously powerful.
Even if you were a scrawny kid who was all skin and bones, it could transform you into a muscular brute.
And not just any ordinary brute, but a powerhouse elevated to the absolute peak of human potential.
Setting everyone else aside, if the Animals—who pumped themselves full of animal hormones just to pack on muscle—knew such a good thing existed, they would go insane trying to get their hands on it, even if it meant going broke.
Therefore, Loki chose the Super Soldier Serum as his product for the next stage without a second thought.
Once the module was installed successfully, Loki stepped into the workshop and checked the recipe for the Super Soldier Serum.
Just like the stimulant, this recipe also featured secondary ingredient substitutes, and even more than last time.
This meant the manufacturing process would be more complex and time-consuming.
However, it also left much more room for manipulation.
Modifying the recipe to synthesize a weakened version of the Super Soldier Serum was entirely feasible.
At the end of the day, Loki didn’t want to see a street full of Captain Americas running around.
As long as the serum’s effect was superior to every physical enhancement drug on the market and remained competitive, that was more than enough.
Loki looked at the materials required by the various recipe options and frowned slightly.
Unlike the previous recipe, many of these materials were quite rare.
The price was fine, but finding reliable suppliers for these items was going to be difficult.
Loki walked over to his computer terminal and began browsing supplier pages and black market forums to source the materials he needed.
The process turned out to be far more difficult than Loki had anticipated.
It took him two full days of browsing, searching, and pulling strings through various connections just to collect every material required.
By the time all the necessary materials finally arrived, five days had passed.
…
With the brewing stand running continuously, the final step in refining the Super Soldier Serum was at last complete.
Looking at the few vials of blue serum in his hand, Loki noted that unlike the serum in the Marvel universe, the serum produced by the module installation was a concentrated version; a single dose was all it took to achieve the full enhancement effect.
As for the method of application, there were no complex requirements—it was injected directly into the body, which was extremely convenient.
The only unknown was what would happen during the activation process.
Loki decided to test it on himself first to gauge its effects.
After all, using it offered only benefits and no drawbacks.
To better test and record the serum’s effects, and also to prevent any accidents, Loki specifically invited Vik over to his clinic.
“What’s this?” Vik asked, looking at the blue serum Loki handed him.
“A new drug.
Super Soldier Serum.
It comprehensively enhances all physical functions of the user.”
Hearing Loki’s explanation, Vik guessed why he had been called over.
“You want to inject this stuff?”
“Yeah.
That’s why I need you to keep an eye on me and record the changes in my body’s data while you’re at it.” Loki nodded.
“Are you sure it’s safe?
Is there any prior experimental data?” Seeing Loki about to inject a substance he had never seen before into his body, Vik habitually voiced his concern.
Normal drugs required countless trials just to ensure they could be safely used on a human body.
“It’s absolutely safe.
Trust me, Vik.” With the brewing stand recipe output backed by the double guarantee of the workbench analyzer, Loki was naturally certain there would be no safety issues.
“Alright then.”
Connecting various monitoring equipment to Loki, who was lying on the operating chair, Vik calibrated the parameters.
Once he confirmed everything was normal, Vik picked up the blue serum and walked over to Loki.
“Ready?”
“Do it.”
As the needle pierced Loki’s skin, the blue serum was pushed in bit by bit under Vik’s precise control.
A single dose wasn’t large, and the injection was completed very quickly.
Lying on the operating chair, Loki focused all his attention on sensing the changes in his body.
‘My body feels so hot…
so itchy.
So sleepy…’ Loki closed his eyes uncontrollably.
When Loki opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was Vik sitting beside him, scaring him into thinking he had transmigrated all over again.
“How long was I out?” Loki asked, looking at Vik.
“Only two hours.
How do you feel right now?”
“I feel great.
My thinking and reflexes seem much sharper, and I’ve got boundless energy.”
Sitting up, Loki felt his physical state.
It was better than ever before—his perception had become far clearer, and his body surged with explosive strength.
He looked down at his body and realized his frame hadn’t changed much overall, except his muscles looked significantly tighter and more compact.
“The terminal recorded your data.
Take a look for yourself.” Vik’s tone carried an obvious trace of disbelief.
Clearly, the data had shocked him as well.
Loki walked over to the terminal to check the readouts.
As a ripperdoc himself, Loki could easily understand the numbers.
According to the recorded data, all of Loki’s physical functions, including his metabolic rate, had indeed been enhanced just as described.
Furthermore, the areas that were previously weaker saw the most dramatic and obvious gains, effectively turning him from a strength-biased fighter into an all-around powerhouse.
Moreover, this enhancement extended to his brain efficiency.
It was fair to say that Loki was now a complete all-rounder—or, to put it more dramatically, he could already be considered a super human.
It truly lived up to the creator of the Super Soldier Serum describing it as “the next step in human evolution.”
