Xie Wei, by chance, learned from a system that his world had a 'Child of Destiny', and that he, Xie Wei, was like a minor supporting character with little screen time in a novel within this...
Xie Wei pushed Zhao Yujin to the Rose Bar.
"Oh, what a wonderful day it is today that two rare guests have appeared at the same time," Hongyu said, sizing up the two of them. "It's quite rare to see such a combination of people coming here together."
"Stop with all this nonsense, is your boss here right now?" Zhao Yujin rolled her eyes at Hongyu and spoke before Xie Wei could.
Hongyu and Zhao Yujin exchanged glances, and Hongyu understood what to do.
“Our boss is working on some documents. I’ll take you to her,” Hongyu said, taking the wheelchair from Xie Wei.
"Hmm?" Xie Wei asked, puzzled by Hongyu's actions.
Seeing Xie Wei's reaction, Hongyu smiled and said, "What? Young Master Xie is also interested in the private conversations of two girls?"
After a moment of silence, Xie Weifa started to move.
"Amber," Hongyu called softly.
"Hey!" Amber quickly stepped out from behind Ruby.
"We'll entertain our distinguished guest here. I'll take Miss Zhao to see the boss."
"Why?"
"Is there a problem?" Hongyu glanced at Amber.
Although Amber couldn't understand Hongyu's gaze in the previous instances, he understood it this time.
"If you say another word, you're dead!"
Amber quickly said no.
...
"How's the news from Agate?" Zhao Yujin asked as soon as she entered the office.
“Yes, as you expected, your cousin has taken control of the entire Zhao family in Nancheng.” Hongyu pushed her to the tea table and leaned against the desk herself. “The entire Zhao family in Nancheng collapsed the moment they heard that something had happened to you.”
“That’s normal. The Zhao family has always been like this. It’s all about the winner.” Zhao Yujin wasn’t surprised at all when she heard about this. She was used to it.
Seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Hongyu changed the subject: "You being Black Rose isn't a big deal to him, why are you still hiding it from him?"
"The reason I gave wasn't right at the time, so when he brought it up later, I instinctively covered it up," Zhao Yujin said.
"He trusts you so much, what if you lie to him and your true identity is exposed... will that be a problem?" Hongyu was worried for Zhao Yujin, who had been deceived by someone she trusted and had to put herself in such a dangerous situation.
"It's alright. Once I've won him over, he'll definitely forgive me for this little thing," Zhao Yujin said confidently. "Besides, with his intelligence, he might discover that I'm Black Rose as we spend more time together..."
His words became increasingly outrageous, and his voice grew softer, clearly indicating a lack of confidence.
“Anyway, no problem,” Zhao Yujin’s voice rose again.
Hongyu looked at the person in front of her and listened to her confident summary. She didn't know if the person was speaking to her or to her.
"So how do you plan to trick him into having you?" Hongyu brought up a topic.
Zhao Yujin, who had just been so confident, suddenly froze, and could only slowly utter, "I don't know."
"have no idea?!"
"You told me to make him realize I'm a woman first, but he doesn't seem interested in my body." When she said this, the usually domineering Zhao Yujin turned into a frustrated little girl.
“He’s not interested in your face or your figure!” Hongyu suddenly whispered. “He wouldn’t be…impotent, would he?”
"...What do you think? With so many women, you think he's no good?"
If Zhao Yujin's spiritual power hadn't been sealed, Hongyu would have been beaten up by now for talking nonsense.
"Then he might really just see you as an older sister, so he's not interested in your body."
"What should we do then?" Zhao Yujin lowered her eyes, feeling lost.
"It's okay, let's try another method. Do it like this..."
"Will it work?"
"Men all fall for this."
While Hongyu was giving Zhao Yujin advice, downstairs...
"How's the situation with the medicine?"
"Oh? Oh!" Amber was puzzled at first, then exclaimed as if she suddenly remembered.
Xie Wei thought this guy was really stupid, like his brain was all muscle. How did someone with that kind of personality end up like this with Black Rose?
"That's about it. Let's name it 'Medicine' 2.0. Isn't that fitting?" This idiot seemed quite proud of himself. Come to think of it, he must have been the one who suggested the name.
Taking it was as good as not taking it at all. Xie Wei was speechless. "Fine, so how far have you progressed in your research on [Medicine] 2.0?"
"All we can get is that the effect of [Medicine] 2.0 is several times stronger than that of 1.0, and it has certain requirements for the user, and the cost is not small." Amber took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth, and handed one to Xie Wei as well.
With a flick of his cigarette, Amber's demeanor instantly transformed from a goofy look to a serious one.
Xie Wei's attention wasn't on the cigarette; he only realized it was a cigarette after holding it in his hand, and then just played with it.
“We conducted an experiment with mice, having mice injected with a 1.0 dilution of the drug fight against mice injected with a 2.0 dilution. Guess what the result was?” Amber began to speak in riddles.
"How about it?" Xie Wei asked cooperatively.
Hearing Xie Wei cooperating with him, Amber smiled and then said, "The win rate of 2.0 is less than 15 percent, and the rest are almost all draws."
"Um?"
"Phew, it's strange, isn't it? It's clearly a second-generation [medicine], but the effect is almost the same as the first generation, except for a few isolated cases." Amber leaned against the wall and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"The results lie in those individual cases."
"Yes, so we conducted another experiment on those isolated cases of mice, and found that only the mice with a stronger will to survive survived."
