New transformation potion
With An Yan’s cooperation and Cheng Yi’s mecha, both the transformation potion and the beast-shaped mecha soon became the new interstellar trend and goal for many people.
An Yan was satisfied with the results as everyone thought he had accidentally discovered this method of making potions. No one got any ideas of harming him because only he could provide transformation potions and they thought he simply did not want to publicize the production method.
However, many people wanting to buy the manufacturing method of the potion had approached him.
But no matter how generous the offers were, Cheng Yi rejected them all with a smile and in the same way.
“Sorry, I don’t want anyone but me to learn how to make the transformation potion from my lover.”
This statement sounded very underhanded, but there was nothing they could do about it. Who let them not be the ones who mastered the method of making the transformation potion?.
While people in the industry were jealous of An Yan and Cheng Yi, the two suddenly released a personal update.
An Yan [identity authentication icon]: [ I have recently discovered another type of body potion. It can stimulate a particular animal characteristic on a person according to demand. For example, you can grow a beloved fish tail, a pair of cute horns, a slender tail, and so on.
This new body potion has been approved by the Central Institute of New Pharmaceutical Research and is safe and harmless for anyone to take.]
Then, as is customary, Cheng Yi retweeted this dynamic, attaching another sentence.
Cheng Yi [identity authentication icon]: [So can I have the pleasure of touching your hamster ears tonight?
The original serious message evoked the fans’ imaginations with Cheng Yi’s words.
Fan 1: Yo yo! Hamster ears and stuff, I feel so shy just thinking about it!
Fan 2: I also want to touch boss An Yan’s hamster ears. They must be so cute!
Fan 3: Speaking in Cheng Yi’s place: Want to touch Yan Yan’s hamster ears? First, accept my challenge.
Fan 4: Am I the only one who is thinking about Cheng Yi’s tiger tail? It feels so powerful!
Fan 5: Haven’t you heard of the saying upstairs? You can’t poke a tiger’s ass!
Fan 6: Why does it seem more intriguing when you add that upstairs?
Fan 7: Wait a minute, so An Yan is saying that in the future, we can stimulate our favorite animal traits at will while discarding the ones we hate?
Fan 8: I’m telling you upstairs, I’ve always wanted a pair of white wings that looked like an angel’s, but I don’t know if this potion will grant my wish.
Fan 9: I …… want to be a mermaid! The kind of mermaid that can swim freely in the water… I’m so excited just thinking about it!
Fan 10: I want a pair of vertical pupils, the kind that look super cool!
……
As the fans were discussing this personal update, An Yan then posted a second personal message.
An Yan [identity authentication icon]: [The manufacturing method for this new body potion will be taught to other pharmacists for a 5% patent fee. If any fans want to learn how to make this potion, they can come to me and sign up. The places are limited and it’s first come, first served.
Once again, the fans exploded.
Fan 1: Fuck! It’s a surprise that you can sign up to learn how to make this new body potion!
Fan 2: Me me me! I’m begging the big boss to see my hands and feet raised high!
Fan 3: A 5% patent fee is mandatory, and it’s already the lowest patent fee percentage. So Boss An Yan is teaching everyone how to make the new body potion for free! It is very kind of him!
Fan 4: Isn’t it surprising that Cheng Yi didn’t stop An Yan this time? He’s being so generous that it doesn’t even feel like him anymore.
Fan 5: I guess boss An Yan agreed to some embarrassing conditions to make boss Cheng Yi behave so generously ……
Fan 6: I think so. Maybe the condition that An Yan agreed to is related to the personal dynamic Cheng Yi posted before. The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel.
………
Perhaps he saw the fans’ comments or it was premeditated, but Cheng Yi made a new personal update not long after.
Cheng Yi [identity authentication icon]: [For the sake of my rare generosity this time, what Yan Yan promised me can’t be reneged on.
This already thought-provoking statement immediately caused fans to howl for a long time. One after another wailed that they had eaten too much dog food and could no longer digest it.
Thanks to the popularity of the transformation potion and the beast-shaped mechas, people’s distaste for animals has been reduced, and more people have turned their hate for them into joy. They’d even take the initiative to discuss animal-related topics.
Three days later, An Yan announced the first batch of people who had been given the opportunity to learn how to make the potion.
There were twenty people in total, all selected from his fans among all the major planets, but all of them had one thing in common: none of them had ever posted anything on the virtual internet about Cheng Yi or An Yan.
When the list was published, there were a few happy people.
Those who were drawn were happy and packed their bags, ready to go to Central Star to learn potion making, while those who were not drawn were crying and praying silently that they would be drawn next time.
The new transformation potions An Yan this time were broadly divided into two types: one was an additive transformation potion and the other was a modified transformation potion.
As the name implies, the former is to add animal characteristics to the normal human body, such as adding a pair of cute cat ears or a small rabbit tail.
The latter is a direct alteration of a part of the human body, transforming it into the form of an animal. For example, the legs of a human can be transformed into the tail of a mermaid, or the eyes of a human can be transformed into the vertical pupils of an animal.
Although both involved changing the form of the human body, the first was less difficult and easier to achieve than the second.
But even though the first type was simpler in comparison, it was still very difficult for many people.
An Yan, for example, immediately dragged Cheng Yang to test it out after the idea first occurred to him. Cheng Yang tried more than ten times without success.
On the contrary, Gu Qing, who was taking part for fun, only tried it once and successfully brought Cheng Yang’s pig tail out.
The only regret was that Gu Qing had only learned the one-way transformation, so Cheng Yang’s tail was forced to hang on to his body for a whole day before it finally disappeared as the potion slowly wore off.
Cheng Yang even chased after Gu Qing and fought over this matter before his anger subsided.
The process of teaching the new transformation potion went very smoothly, and it only took ten days for most of the first batch of students to successfully grasp the method.
After completing the course, these students also became qualified to sell the new body potion, but were required to pay An Yan 5% of the net proceeds as a patent fee.
The range of fees chosen was assessed and negotiated by the corresponding institute.
If the research achievement is of little use, the percentage is often low and the range of options is small, whereas if it is of wide use, the percentage is high and the range of options is wider.
For example, the manufacturing method for the new type of body potion discovered by An Yan seems to be of little use, but a closer analysis reveals that it has a very wide range of uses and almost zero restrictions on who can use it.
After some discussion and evaluation, the patent fee percentage for this invention was finally set at 5 to 50%.
In other words, An Yan could determine his own patent fee percentage within this range.
Logically, to make more money, it would be best to set the royalty percentage higher. Even 30 or 40 would still be okay.
However, An Yan did not hesitate to set the fee at the lowest number, which was 5.
He was really not short of money to spend right now. Leave alone the fact that almost every potion of his could fetch a very good price, and just the shares he held in his hands were enough to feed and clothe him for the rest of his life and live the life he wanted.
An Yan had no idea what the share transfer agreements represented when he first signed them.
But as he made more and more money and needed to sign more and more agreements, he finally came to understand what those two agreements stood for.
It was Grandpa Cheng’s love, gratitude, and trust in him, something that could not be measured in terms of money or figures. This made An Yan very touched and extraordinarily warm.
This new type of body potion attracted a large wave of users immediately after it was put on the market.
Although many were very dissatisfied with, or even disgusted by, the animal features they carried on their bodies, they did not carry full disgust for all animal features.
For example, some carried fish scales, but they dreamed of having their hands transformed into a pair of beautiful wings that would allow them to fly into the sky.
And there are those who carry the animal features of birds but whose hearts yearn for the wonderful freedom of the water.
The new potion could meet both needs, shielding them from the animal traits they hate and adding other animal traits they love, so it was killing two birds with one stone.
At first, most people who bought the new potion would only use it in their homes for fear that others would not like it, and also because they were a little uncomfortable with it.
But as time went on, people became more accepting and open-minded to the various animal features, and gradually more pedestrians were walking the streets with all sorts of animal features in a relaxed manner.
It was true that most of the so-called aversions humans had towards animals were false aversions that had been forced upon them. Under the immense power of the new potion, these aversions were completely eradicated before they had time to resist.
An Yan was so pleased with this change that he spent his days gleefully researching whether there were any other new potions that would make everyone more fond of animals.
Then, as soon as he looked up, he met Cheng Yi’s gaze that had grief written all over it.
An Yan was startled. “What’s wrong with you, senior?”
Cheng Yi spoke sadly, “Does Yan Yan still remember the promise he made to me before?”
An Yan carefully thought about it, but surprisingly couldn’t remember what he had promised Cheng Yi. He could only ask cautiously, “What promise are you talking about?”
“I can’t believe that Yan Yan even forgot when he promised me,” Cheng Yi stared at An Yan, the heartless man, while his tone became even more sorrowful. “Do you not love me anymore?”
An Yan’s heart thumped and he shook his head repeatedly, “Of course not!”
Cheng Yi continued to grieve, “Then why would Yan Yan forget his promise to me?”
The look in his eyes was as if An Yan had done something sinful. Although he didn’t think he had done such a thing, he compromised under the attack of Cheng Yi’s eyes, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. But I really don’t remember. Can you tell me? I will seriously fulfill my promise to you. ”
Cheng Yi’s gaze flickered slightly, then he sighed, “It’s all in the past. There’s no point in mentioning it now, but…”
Cheng Yi deliberately trailed off.
An Yan took the bait and hurriedly asked, “But what?”
Cheng Yi moved to An Yan’s ear and whispered. By the time he finished his sentence, An Yan’s ears had already turned red: “This… it’s better to forget about it.”
Cheng Yi’s immediately frowned and also showed a look of hurt: “I knew Yan Yan no longer loved me. To not even agree with me on such a simple request. ”
“I didn’t…I just… ” An Yan rushed to defend, but didn’t know how to explain. In addition, the shock of that sentence just now was so strong that it almost made him forget how to speak normally.
Cheng Yi didn’t speak any more but stood there with a sad face, like a fallen white tiger abandoned by others, which made An Yan’s heart go soft.
An Yan couldn’t say no to such a pitiful Cheng Yi, even if he felt shy and embarrassed. He finally had to compromise with a red face: “That…it’s fine. Then don’t be angry, okay? ”
Cheng Yi’s eyes immediately lit up fiercely, but he quickly suppressed the brilliance in them, and said in a doubtful manner, “Do you really promise me? You’re not lying to me? ”
“Of course not,” An Yan nodded repeatedly, his little face still flushed, “I promise.”
The corners of Cheng Yi’s mouth rose uncontrollably, but then pressed back down, “You were like that last time. You promised me, but when it came time to deliver, you said you forgot. I don’t dare trust you anymore.”
An Yan was helpless. He did not know how to make Cheng Yi believe him. He finally gritted his teeth and mobilized his spiritual power with a red face.
With the operation of his spiritual power, two tiny hamster ears trembled out of his fluffy soft hair, which looked extremely cute.
Cheng Yi’s eyes lit up as he looked at them. Finally, he finally couldn’t hold back his excitement and directly pounced on them.
