“Hiss…”
“Oh…”
“Awesome feeling…”
After consuming the apple, Zhou Wen immediately felt alert, lively, and energetic. All his tiredness was gone in an instant! He became fully engaged in the process of DNA extraction once again.
There was a saying that ‘skills come from practice.’ Following the constant extractions, Zhou Wen’s speed was increasing faster and faster. He needed two hours to extract one DNA sample on average.
When the sky brightened outside, Zhou Wen had finally extracted all the seven types of raw material DNAs necessary.
His heart was filled with a sense of achievement as he watched the DNA samples in the refrigerator.
Who else was capable of extracting plant DNA in their first attempt and do such a perfect job at it?
After he celebrated the joy for a moment, he felt a gush of faint lethargy wash over him. He had been bustling about for a full 24 hours since yesterday morning, and he almost did not have any breaks in between.
Therefore, he decided to take a short nap first. But before doing so, he placed the DNA into a sterile box and sent it to the PCR laboratory located on the fifth floor.
In order to prevent people who were coming to work from destroying his precious work, he left a note on the box on purpose to notify his peers.
Then, he ordered a taxi lavishly and headed back to the campus straightaway.
He went straight to bed upon returning to his hostel room without even brushing his teeth or washing his face.
He slept through until noon and discovered that not a single person was in the room when he woke up.
He took a shower and felt resurrected with energy. Then, he headed to the cafeteria alone for a meal. Zhou Wen suddenly remembered halfway through his meal that he had yet to open the loot box from yesterday.
He brought up the system’s inventory list and found a pitch-black treasure chest lying quietly inside. He clicked on it once, and the treasure chest levitated before his eyes.
[Would you like to open the loot box now? Yes/No]
Zhou Wen took a deep breath and chose ‘Yes’ in immense anticipation.
The black metal treasure chest opened up slowly with a glossy, green sheepskin scroll emerging from the inside.
Zhou Wen took a glance and felt tremendously excited in his heart. He could tell at once that it was a medical formula. It was rather impressive, just as expected. A dialogue box popped out.
[Congratulations, you receive Biotype Scar Cream Formula X1]
“Good stuff, good stuff…” Zhou Wen was excited beyond comparison just by reading the name.
A person would experience some knocks and bumps from young to old, and those often left behind some hideous scars. There were also scars from burns and those left behind from undergoing surgeries.
According to the vain mentality of modern people today, if the Biotype Scar Cream was truly capable of removing all sorts of scars caused by physical, biological, and chemical injuries, the value of the formula was simply immeasurable.
The rare Black metal loot box was different, just as expected. It made his hard work over the days worthwhile.
He was excited about it for quite some time and was planning to study the formula for a while, but he remembered about the rice root aphid experiment soon afterward that required a large number of points to increase the experiment progress. He should not squander his points casually at this time.
Soon afterward, his vision shifted toward the XP value, and he found that it had already reached 1000 points so he could upgrade his course.
He took a glance at the course content list and discovered that Botany was added to his subcourse, surprisingly.
After taking two glances, he shifted his gaze toward the Immunology course.
This particular course was the most challenging subject in the entire Biology program. He could tell from the XP value that the other courses’ starting value was only over 100 and even 200 points while Immunology only had 50 points.
This was because there were too many courses that overlapped and interlinked with Immunology. For example, what were the types of cells in the human body, how were they divided into different types, which genes were involved in regulating the cells, the characteristics of metabolism, the changes of cells after an infection, which types of medications to use, what were the risks…
Countless courses were involved in this course, including biochemistry, pharmacology, virology, oncology, etc.
As a result, the system’s brief information on Immunology was ‘Allows you to understand the mysteries of life!’
Yet, one could imagine how difficult this course could be.
Of course, a person could definitely become an outstanding doctor upon excelling in Immunology. This was because the person would be able to understand the principle of curing illnesses rather than following someone else’s experience blindly.
After pondering about it, Zhou Wen chose to upgrade his Immunology course.
In the next second, countless Immunology knowledge surged and filled his brain just like rivers converging into the sea. Soon afterward, the superficial knowledge he had previously acquired turned into a thorough understanding in an instant.
He understood how the cell division in the human body, including which genes were affected. He had also learned about the characteristics of metabolism, the changes that happened upon acquiring an infection, and even the application of medications.
This had turned into knowledge that could not be erased from the depths of his mind.
Zhou Wen felt relaxed. Immunology knowledge was a supplement to biochemistry and pharmacology, which allowed him to understand Biology even clearer now.
Of course, he was still quite a distance away from excelling at Immunology.
…
After lunch, Zhou Wen rushed to the hospital.
