Being an NPC is Fine Too

Ye Xing never expected that he, someone who rarely played games, would apply for a job at a game company after graduation. What he expected even less was that he would become a real-life NPC in the...

Chapter 217: Mouse’s Third Personality (Part 3)

This prescription is the closest to the medicine Xiao Qin wants to develop, and it is also the most effective one on record.

Chinese medicine practitioners can understand the main contents of the prescription, the only difficulty is one of the annotations.

Not to mention the meaning, even the words are so unfamiliar.

Ye Xing did not tell Xiao Qin about this matter, but went out to find someone who was familiar with ancient characters to get an answer.

He contacted his "connections" here and finally got a reliable source of information from the reporter he knew.

Anyway, he was a free man temporarily staying in a top scientific research institution, and he didn't have to report if he left for work.

The Chinese medicine practitioner became a little nervous when he found the residence of the text researcher according to the address given by the reporter.

What if I can’t get the answer here?

So, is the content of the annotation important or not?

In fact, the prescription itself is complete enough that you can prepare the medicine even without reading the annotations.

However, the annotations that can be written here and passed down should not be unnecessary.

He was worried that he would miss important information, such as which medicines would counteract each other when taken together.

Many patients take Western medicines in one gulp, and they cannot change even if this is against the doctor's orders.

You should consider this even more. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible.

Although the zombie incident has passed and the truth has been made public, there are still some citizens who don't trust Xiao Qin.

In fact, those people never believed in geniuses who became famous at a young age. They still thought that seniority could prove everything.

However, some guys whose resumes look impressive have less actual scientific research experience than the teenage Xiao Qin.

At most they are just listed in name only, but the kid has been doing the research.

Such people are obviously more trustworthy.

I really don’t know what those people are thinking.

"Excuse me," Ye Xuan saw the text researcher, an amiable-looking old man, "I am the doctor who I mentioned before that I would come to consult you."

He walked into the other person's home - an old bungalow that looked like it would be demolished soon - and found the layout a bit strange.

But he didn't understand these things, let alone feng shui, he just felt that these houses were different from the ones he had seen.

There is a sense of incongruity, but it is not obvious. I think I am just worrying too much.

"I have indeed seen this kind of writing before," the text researcher put on his reading glasses and took a look, and confirmed that it was a type he had learned when he was young, "but no one has used it for a long time. I can write out the corresponding characters for you, but I can't help you with the interpretation."

"It doesn't matter. I'm already very grateful to you for being able to translate it!" Upon hearing that there was hope, Ye Xuan directly handed over the reward and thank-you gift.

These are funds provided by top scientific research institutions, and Xiao Qin will help him reimburse them.

Otherwise, Chinese medicine itself doesn’t make much money, and the savings don’t seem to be much, so it can’t afford to pay someone to “decipher” the code.

Xiao Qin's treatment in this new workplace is better than before, but no one he can currently see in the organization has any negative comments about him.

After all, he became famous after the zombie crisis, more people paid attention to him, and more people understood his abilities.

Some scientific researchers have always stayed behind the scenes and have no chance to be known by the outside world, so they are regarded as useless people who just occupy their positions and do nothing.

Looking at the translated sentences, the Chinese doctor couldn't understand what was going on at first glance, but he still thanked the doctor and left.

The text researcher's intention to see him off was obvious, and it was hard for him to not leave.

After returning to the "top" scientific research institution, he handed the paper with the translated annotations to Xiao Qin: "This is the only clue we have at the moment. Can it be used?"

Even a genius like Xiao Qin couldn't understand the deep meaning of it for a while: "Senior, I seem to have seen a similar sentence in the ancient book yesterday, but the logic is much clearer and more organized than this translation. Maybe the literal translation can't reveal much content."

Then the text researchers will only translate word for word, just like a machine translation, and the meaning will not be complete.

It is very frustrating to have words but not know their meaning.

Ye Xing read the words that did not form a sentence over and over again, feeling that they did not seem like they could be strung together.

Connecting words into sentences in elementary school was much more logical than this.

If it is not read smoothly, no matter whether it is read forward or backward, it will not become a complete sentence.

Hiss, who wrote this annotation? It can definitely be included in the “unsolved mysteries”.

The prescription is clear at a glance, but the annotations are vague. How could such a "encryption method" that puts the cart before the horse be possible?

He was a little worried about the mental state of the person who left this ancient recipe.

What kind of state of mind would allow their descendants to intentionally fall into such confusion?

I feel like I've been tricked, but I have no evidence.

And research must continue. Even if the meaning of this annotation is still unclear, drug development cannot be stopped.

When the Chinese medicine practitioner saw Xiao Qin skillfully instructing the researchers to perform their respective duties, he felt that this child was indeed suitable for this job.

Genius Qin is not only a qualified scientific researcher, but also has skill points in leadership.

However, in such a large team, no one could understand the meaning of the annotation.

It seems that this is an unknown that still needs to be explored.

Ye Xuan stared at the pill in front of him: it was shiny black and had an excellent color.

If it is possible to cure the disease with like medicine, I feel that eating it will be good for the hair.

While he was daydreaming, a mouse appeared from nowhere and took away the pills he had just made.

mouse?

mouse!

Although he didn't know why there were mice in the laboratory, he seemed to see the evil smile of the little creature when it succeeded.

This is too weird...

However, the mouse was quickly caught by Xiao Qin.

The little thing was very clever. It jumped up and down and passed many researchers. It didn't even scratch the surface of the pill during its escape. It looked very experienced and skilled.

Ye Xuan saw this scene and thought it was necessary to develop plague-related drugs.

This rat might have become a spirit!

Fortunately, Xiao Qin was agile and nimble, and his movements were smoother than those of a mouse. He successfully captured the little guy without touching any equipment or people.

He picked up the rat's tail with a metallic luster and brought it in front of the Chinese medicine doctor.

When Ye Xing saw the whole appearance of the mouse, he realized that it was a mechanical mouse.

So it is not a spirit and cannot spread the plague.

This "robbery" can be explained.

He poked the little thing. The fur on the mechanical mouse looked very real, but he knew it was artificial when he touched it.

Where there is no fur covering it, it is easier to tell that it is not a living thing.

Fortunately, it was a house mouse with a hairless tail. If it was another furry mouse, he might not be able to tell it.

It's so embarrassing to be scared by this mechanical mouse.

Try to maintain the dignity of a senior in front of Xiao Qin, otherwise it will be difficult to educate the child.

He cleared his throat pretentiously and said, "Xiao Qin, well done! With this move, even if this little mouse is a thief, there is no escape! This little mouse looks weird at first glance, it must have been sent by someone!"

Well, it’s quite impressive, not bad.

In fact, he also understood that what he said was simply nonsense.

But at this time, there is nothing to say except talking nonsense.

He couldn't possibly confess that he was just scared, right?

Qin didn't notice the other party's awkwardness and accepted the compliment from his senior a little embarrassedly.

In front of my seniors, no matter how well I did, I would never receive such childlike praise.

He has achieved great success at a young age. Some adults regard this child as their peer, while others are unwilling to be defeated by the younger generation so soon.

In this field, there will not be any "humility" to children. In the confrontation of strength and qualifications, it is difficult to say which side is the real winner.

The strength of the genius Qin is obvious to all, but not everyone can accept that the medicine they may take was developed by a team led by a child.

That's medicine, not a clay ball for playing with. Will this work?

However, some people who advocate the theory of genius have reached the point of blindly worshipping his scientific research results. Some people even take the medicine without knowing whether it is suitable for their condition, saying that they want to get some of the genius's talent and wisdom.

It seemed as if what he swallowed was not a pill, but the condensation of the other person's talent.

Such foolish thoughts and practices are beyond comprehension.

People who believe this will probably drink oral liquid that claims to increase IQ, but end up experiencing memory loss.

If you have this free time, you might as well go to the temple to worship, the effect will probably be better.

Taking medicine randomly, are you hoping to get sick even if you are not sick?

Xiao Qin is just a researcher, not a god. How can one "inherit" his abilities by taking the medicine he developed? Even if it is a drug dealer making up a story, it can't be so outrageous, right?

The mechanical mouse was quickly disassembled by professionals from the scientific research institution. He also watched the scene of "disembowelment" for a few times and felt that the degree of restoration of the little mouse was too high, which made people feel uneasy.

Eh, is it really not a mutant? Is it necessary to make it so detailed?

"This little mouse is great, it's a test subject that comes right to my doorstep!" The professional was extremely excited, and he smiled a slightly scary smile as he dismantled it.

Anyway, Ye Xing was scared and felt that today was quite thrilling. Zombies can actually be considered as representatives of friendliness.

At least he knew where those zombies came from, and knowing the cause and effect of something usually doesn't make people feel scared.

Unless the truth is even stranger.

Xiao Qin checked the pills that were taken away by the mechanical mouse and found nothing damaged.

But this pill can no longer be used. In case the mouse is contaminated with some harmful substances, the effectiveness of this pill will not be worth studying.

The young man disposed of the used pills very cleanly, and Ye Xuan saw that he was destroying all traces.

Hiss, this kid looks a little scary in his professional aspect.

Is this the nth time I've been scared today?

I always feel unlucky, and it's not good to be frightened often.

However, I shouldn't have revealed it.

That's good.
