Zhou Wen first sought Wu Yan’s help to book an unoccupied laboratory from the third floor’s specimen preparation team.
Then, he found over a dozen white mice for his clinical trial. This would allow him to skip a few of the experimental procedures.
Zhou Wen administered the medication and then observed the reaction of the white mice attentively.
He was surprised to find that the white mice that were in extreme agony after being originally injured had quieted down after receiving an intramuscular injection of Biotype Pain Relief Medication. There was no exception across all the white mice.
“That’s awesome…” Zhou Wen was incomparably excited.
He did not expect that his first attempt at producing a biopharmaceutical would be successful.
Just as he was preparing to look for more animals for his clinical trial, a prompt sound was heard in his ears.
[You have successfully produced Biotype Pain Relief Medication. It is the promised cure. You have received 200 Course XP and Biotype Hangover Medication X10]
Zhou Wen did not expect that he could actually gain XP points by producing a medicine; moreover, he was given ten portions of Biotype Hangover Medication. It was truly a marvelous day!
He brought up the system interface and examined it for a while.
It turned out that the XP points were not used to upgrade his course XP, but it was his pharmacist’s XP value. The XP value of his occupation as Apprentice Pharmacist turned into 200/1000.
Zhou Wen disregarded it after taking a glance. The pharmacist rank did not feel that useful to him now, anyhow.
Since the XP points could not be used to upgrade his course XP, some of the ideas that Zhou Wen came up with earlier in his mind had been shattered in an instant.
He could only complete the missions obediently.
Soon afterward, he brought up his inventory list and took a glance at the Biotype Hangover Medication. A strip of little blue pills was lying quietly in the inventory list.
Since the Biotype Pain Relief Medication had already been determined as the ‘Promised Cure’ by the system, Zhou Wen did not continue to perform his trial anymore.
Instead, he packed up his things in the laboratory and left.
…
In the office of PCR Team’s team leader, on a Saturday morning.
Zhang Shuguang was still reading the data analysis in his office when Wu Yan knocked on his door and entered the room.
“Team leader, this is the experimental data of PTC-1057. The report shows that it is extremely effective and can be administered for usage.”
Zhang Shuguang received the report and screened through it. He cracked into a smile and nodded. “Hmm, sure, send the report to the outpatient department.
“Alright, boss.” Upon saying that, Wu Yan was prepared to leave.
“Hold on.”
Wu Yan turned around and asked, “What’s up, boss?”
Zhang Shuguang leaned against the back of his chair and asked smilingly, “What has the young boy been doing for the past few days? Why haven’t I seen him at all?”
Wu Yan replied with a smile, “I don’t know. He’s been bustling about all day every day and working on something that I have no idea about. He sought my help yesterday afternoon to book him a laboratory saying that he wanted to carry out an experiment.”
“Is that so?” Zhang Shuguang assumed an excited expression. “Okay, you should go back to work first.”
After Wu Yan left, Zhang Shuguang packed up the documents on his table before he got up and left too.
In the inpatient department, Zhou Wen came to the ward floor where Guo Baichun’s room was located at eight in the morning.
The elevator opened up just in time for Zhou Wen to see the old woman standing at the door.
Zhou Wen greeted the lady, smilingly, “Aunty, do you still remember me?”
The old woman cracked into a kind smile and answered, “I do, I do. Are you here for something?”
Zhou Wen responded, “Not really; I’m just on the way to somewhere, so I figured I’d drop by to visit you.”
The old woman was delighted, so she thanked Zhou Wen repeatedly.
They engaged in small talks for a while, and then Zhou Wen asked, “Where are you heading to?”
The old woman said smilingly, “He’s craving barbecued duck, so I’m going to get him some.”
Zhou Wen just wanted to tell her that her son was not supposed to have barbecued duck, yet he pondered the thought for a moment. Her son would not live long, so it would be best for him to eat anything that he wanted now.
“Alright, then you should go back and take a rest. I’ll help you to get it.”
“There’s no need to trouble you; I’m just on my way to get some air downstairs, too, coincidentally.”
“I shall go with you then.”
“Alright…”
Zhou Wen accompanied the old woman downstairs and chatted as they walked.
The old woman hardly spoke during their first encounter because she was just recently acquainted with him. However, she was certainly getting more talkative now that it was their second meeting.
Through the conversation, Zhou Wen discovered that the old woman was very well-cultured. Her speaking mannerism sounded very classy, and he could tell that she was a very educated woman, only that her thought process was slower now that she was getting older.
However, it was also precisely due to this reason that the old woman was quite reluctant to trouble her relatives. Instead, she singlehandedly took care of her son who was over 70 years old despite her being over 90 years old.
Zhou Wen accompanied the old woman to purchase half a barbecued duck from a braised food restaurant near the hospital; then, he supported her with his hand to walk back to the hospital slowly.
Zhou Wen stated, “Aunty, I have something to do today when I came to see you.”
The old woman replied, “Tell me, what is it?”
Zhou Wen pondered for a moment before he answered, “So, I saw that your son was in so much pain previously, and I couldn’t bear to see him like that. Therefore, I went to look up some information when I left and made some Biotype Pain Relief Medication according to an ancient formula. I’ve already carried out a clinical trial on animals, and the pain relief effect was excellent. You can even say that it produces instant results, so…”
Zhou Wen did not finish his sentence anymore because he believed that the old woman would understand his intention.
The old woman asked in an extremely calm manner, “Did you bring the medication with you?”
Zhou Wen nodded. “Hmm, I have it with me! Don’t worry; you don’t have to pay for it. This is a biopharmaceutical, so its ingredients are all composed of probiotics and will not cause any toxic side effects.”
The old woman smiled kindly and said, “It’s fine. Even if it is poison, as long as you have the courage to give it to me, I’ll have the courage to feed him.”
