The entire festival passed quickly as the Ning family was plagued by drugs and the spirit-enhancing potion became more and more famous. Georgia didn't have a chance to have fun at the festival. Everyone was upset by the Ning family's new potion and would rather stay at home and rest when they had free time.

Not long after the holiday, the military academy opened and Georgia prepared to skip a grade again.

Upon learning of this, Chu Yan felt hopeless and felt like a worthless person - they all came from the same family, but there was such a huge difference between them. He might have a fake brain.

"Master Shang has agreed to let me work under him as a researcher. I will only skip to the third year this time. The course progress has just reached the advanced parts, so I can have enough time to make up for the lessons I missed when I skipped the parts course in order to prepare for the competition."

Georgia talked about her plan while disassembling the intermediate parts model in her hand. Her face was rosy and she looked lovable and cute.

Chu Yan's eyes followed his flexible fingers, trying to see his movements clearly, but to no avail. Finally, he decisively fell back into his chair and said helplessly: "With your efficiency in self-study, it will only take you two months at most to fill in the gaps. There are four or five months of classes in a semester. What are you going to do with the remaining months? Are you going to waste them in class?"

"No, you can take a break from classes after you apply to become a researcher. As long as you pass the final exam, I will come back to continue my research on manually-piloted mechas after I complete the suspension procedures. By then, the materials for making the mechas should have been collected, and we can just start making them." Georgia shook her head, and finally put the parts together. She looked at it with satisfaction, then checked the learning progress of this part on the electronic notebook and took out the next one.

Chu Yan was amazed at his ability to study and chat at the same time without making any mistakes, and asked casually, "Collecting materials? Are you still short of materials at home?"

Given how much the second elder brother dotes on Georgia, basically if Georgia asks for materials in the morning, the house will be filled with them in the afternoon. And apart from a few rare level 10 materials, there is no other material that the house doesn't have. Why would it take time to collect them?

Georgia paused after hearing this, looked at him, and finally put down the parts and explained in detail: "The parts and accessories provided at the beginning of the Starnet Mech Manufacturing Competition are not divided by materials, and there is only an average constant value, which will definitely be different from the data obtained by the parts made of real materials in reality. Except for important parts such as the shell and engine, most of the other parts of the finished product on Starnet are made by me using the official accessories. So before officially starting production in reality, I have to first proportion the materials required for each part, and try to get close to or exceed the data on Starnet. Because it is the first manually driven mecha, Chu Rong and I discussed it and decided to use the best materials for all the materials of this mecha."

In other words, if you have the ability, then use level 10 materials, just aim for the upper limit, not the bottom line.

Moreover, Mr. Ren also specifically instructed that his current approach to learning mecha manufacturing is completely different from that of ordinary people, and that one should not be too conservative when making mechas, as that would restrict one's hands and feet.

Ordinary people have to learn about parts first and then learn how to modify parts, and then assemble them. The assembly has to start from the elementary level and gradually transition to the intermediate and advanced levels. But he is different. He has his own unique assembly system, and when he learns parts, he can basically modify them immediately after learning. And because everything he sells is high-quality, it is best not to learn slowly according to the existing teaching system, but to go at his own pace. After consolidating the necessary basic knowledge, he can go the route of special customization.

Mr. Ren said that the most important thing for him now is to research new things. As for popularizing them, he can set up a team and let others do it in the future. His energy should be used to create rather than be a craftsman.

Although he felt embarrassed by Mr. Ren's praise, he felt that since he was going to do it, he should try his best to do it to the best of his ability. Only when he touched the limits of the current manual-piloted mechas, would he be sure to downgrade appropriately and create a manual-piloted mecha that could be popularized.

Moreover, it would take time to research and cultivate substitutes for the exotic beast materials needed to manufacture the manual driving system. Before the formal research was completed, he planned to use the real exotic beast tendons that the Chu family had to make a top-level system.

In short, whether it is the best materials needed for the mecha, or the high-level exotic beast soft materials needed for the manual driving mecha system, these things require time to prepare.

Chu Yan nodded, not quite understanding, and remembered the real purpose of coming here to chat with him. He changed the subject, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Qiao, since you can't make this mecha in a short time, and the research has to be done slowly, then with so much free time, don't you want to do some entertainment to relax?"

“…”

No, he didn't have any spare time at all. He had to make up for the lessons, study the driving system, and prepare the material ratios in advance. He had so many things to do that he wished he could split one day into two. But Chu Yan's eyes were too expectant, so he didn't mention these, and only asked in cooperation: "What entertainment activities?"

Seeing his support, Chu Yan's eyes lit up. He took out his light computer and quickly opened an official registration website. He said in a bewitching tone, "It's like this. I have a competition here. You can kill some time. Remember what I told you before? Only by understanding the combat methods of mecha warriors can you customize the mechas they really want. Now, you have a chance to understand mecha warriors!"

Georgia moved his gaze to the registration form, was silent for two seconds, and reminded: "Xiaoyan, I have only passed the intermediate mecha driving course on Star Network, and I have never touched a mecha in real life." So my level is really poor.

"It's okay!" Chu Yan waved his hand, held his shoulder, lowered his voice, and said, "You just need to accompany me to register. The early stage of the competition will be held on Starnet. Just think of it as accompanying me to play for a while, okay?"

Georgia immediately grasped the point and asked, "You want me to accompany you so much, is it because Chu Rong and the others don't allow you to participate in this competition?" So you want to be a scapegoat?

“…”

Chu Yan withdrew his hand guiltily, glanced at them, then gritted his teeth, nodded, and explained: "This competition is held every four years, and you have to be 18 years old to register. The preliminary round is held on the star network, the semi-final is in reality, and the final will be held on a separate planet. There is a risk of injury. You know, in a mecha competition, it is normal for everyone to get injured occasionally, but my brother and the others..."

Georgia tightened her face and looked at him disapprovingly - if it was just an injury, given the degree of indulgence Chu Huai and the others had shown towards Chu Yan, it would be impossible for them to disagree. Chu Yan's statement must be exaggerated.

Unable to bear his "coercion" in his eyes, Chu Yan compromised, his shoulders slumped, and said honestly: "Well, it is nine out of ten that I will get hurt, because the finals is a survival competition, and the one who survives to the end is the winner, and everyone will fight each other..."

Georgia began to put the parts together, expressing her refusal with her actions.

"No, you are my last hope..." Chu Yan couldn't help wailing, stretched out his hands to cover his parts, and said pitifully: "Qiao, I know my limits, really! My eldest brother also participated in this competition. My second brother didn't have the opportunity to participate because of the war and later became a marshal, otherwise he would have gone as well. Moreover, this competition has no restrictions on the strength and age of the players. Beginners can participate, and advanced mecha warriors can also participate. With my strength, I will definitely not survive to the finals and there is no chance of injury! The next competition will be in four years. By then, I will be interning in the military department and will definitely not have time to participate. This is my last chance, Qiao, can you bear to see me regret it for the rest of my life?"

Georgia stopped what she was doing, frowned at him, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then why not participate in the next session? Didn't you say that this competition has no restrictions on strength and age?"

"The next session will be in eight years, and I will be 27 years old by then. Look at the ages and current positions of my eldest and second brothers. When I reach the age of 27, my position in the federation should be only a few levels lower than theirs. At the very least, I should be a colonel. Look at Xiang Hui now. Is it appropriate for him to participate in such a violent competition with his identity?" Chu Yan continued to whine pitifully.

This seems to make sense, as if this session is really Chu Yan's last chance. With the support of his family and his own ability, Chu Yan's future achievements will definitely not be low. The older he gets, the higher his position will be. He will really have no chance to participate in this kind of competition in the future.

Georgia became more hesitant as she listened. It was really terrible to not be able to realize her dream. It might become a lifelong regret. But what if she really got hurt...

Chu Yan saw his hesitation and continued to assure him, "I will protect myself! I swear! I just want to go and broaden my horizons and experience it! Really, with my strength, I will definitely not be able to enter the finals. The semi-finals are regular games and I won't get hurt!"

"If I only enter the semi-finals, will I really not get hurt?" Georgia finally relaxed and confirmed it again. At the same time, she remembered something and asked, "Can I use the mecha I made to participate in the Star Network competition?"

Chu Yan immediately understood his implication and knew that this matter had a chance. He nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! Absolutely! This competition is very inclusive. It depends on strength. Mecha is also a part of strength!"

Georgia had an idea in mind after hearing this.

If he could participate in the competition with a mecha he made himself, then he might be able to test drive the Rongtian, so that he could make changes in reality after discovering any problems. And if Xiaoyan couldn't make it to the finals with his strength, then he probably wouldn't even make it to the semi-finals, and would probably be eliminated in the first round, which wouldn't waste a lot of time.

"Okay, I can sign up with you." He nodded, and immediately added: "But this matter cannot be hidden from Chu Rong and Chu Huai, they must be told." In order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation to hurt Chu Yan, the situation is unstable now, so we must be more careful.

Chu Yan's heart finally settled down, and he nodded again, agreeing that he would never do anything behind the parents' backs! Anyway, as long as Qiao wanted to participate, the registration process was already half done!

The registration time for the competition was about to end. After persuading Georgia, Chu Yan immediately took him to find Chu Huai and carefully put forward his request.

"Mech driving competition? The one held every four years?" Chu Huai frowned when he heard that and was about to refuse. Chu Yan hurriedly pulled Georgia's sleeve.

Georgia received the order, stepped forward and suppressed the guilt of asking for something in front of his parents, and said, "Brother, I also want to participate in this competition and experience it."

Chu Huai swallowed his refusal, looked at him, frowned even tighter, and asked, "Do you really want to go?"

Georgia nodded.

Chu Huai stopped talking, glared at Chu Yan obscurely, thought for a moment, and said, "My personal advice is that you should not participate. If you really want to go... well, go and talk to Xiao Rong. If he agrees for you to participate, I will agree."

"Thank you for your permission, big brother! Big brother, you are really my dear big brother!" Chu Yan immediately misunderstood his words and pulled Georgia out the door, saying as he slid, "Big brother, you are busy. We are going to find the second brother. You are busy, you are busy."

Chu Huai looked at him speechlessly and cursed: "I think you've been itching for trouble recently..."

Chu Yan hurriedly pulled Georgia out the door.

After dealing with Chu Huai, the two went to Chu Rong's study. Chu Yan was timid and didn't dare to go in. In the end, Georgia went in alone with the laptop.

"Want to test drive the mecha in the competition?" Chu Rong put down the documents.

Georgia nodded guiltily.

Chu Rong looked at him deeply and said, "I'll help you try it. You don't have to participate in the competition specially for this. The mecha was made for me, and I know better where the mecha will not work well."

"..." What he said made so much sense that I couldn't refute it.

Georgia hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Actually... I not only want to test drive the mecha, but also want to see if I can come up with an attack system that is more suitable for manually driven mechas. The existing attack systems are all based on mental power, which may not be suitable for manually driven mechas. Your situation is different from mine. I have never been exposed to a mental attack system. All I know are ancient martial arts-type attacks, so it's more appropriate for me to try it." And for some changes, the maker himself is indeed more able to understand how to make them.

Chu Rong suddenly remembered the dazzling appearance of him running freely in the forest and fighting various beasts with ease during the live broadcast event last year. He also remembered the scene of him being locked in the laboratory all day during this period. His heart softened, and he reached out to him and said, "Come here."

His tone was very gentle, and it was hard to tell whether he was convinced or not. Georgia walked over nervously, wanting to stand one step away from him, but he directly held her on his lap and kissed her forehead gently.

“You can participate in the competition.”

Chu Rong let go, put his arm around his back and let him lean on him, brushed his bangs with his other hand, and said, "But you have to pick up your daily sparring and continue with the mecha driving course on Starnet. You can't stay in the lab all day. Can you do it?"

So easy to talk to?

"Sure!" He nodded quickly, his eyes lit up, and he happily hugged him back and nuzzled his neck, saying excitedly: "Chu Rong, you're the best! I will debug the mecha well!"

Chu Rong lowered his head and kissed him with a gentle expression.

"If you have any requests in the future, just ask directly. Don't be so cautious." He lifted Georgia's head, scratched his face with his fingers, and asked in a low voice: "Also, how did you know about this competition, huh?"

Georgia was stunned, and then she remembered Chu Yan who was still waiting outside. She shuddered in her heart, buried her head in his arms, and rubbed it hard.

After the final match was finalized, Chu Rong began to take time out every day to practice with Georgia and Chu Yan. Of course, Chu Yan's training was particularly "cruel".

Chu Yan felt both pain and happiness, and once again lamented his humble family status.

A few days later, the reporting period ended, the military academy officially opened, and Georgia's application for skipping a grade was approved.

After the news spread, all the students were in a mess. It had been decades since someone could skip a grade in the federal military academy, not to mention the most energy-consuming mecha manufacturing major. Was Georgia going to make it?

But then they remembered that Georgia won the championship in the Starnet Mecha Manufacturing Competition with a special-grade mecha, and silently smoothed their messy hair - that was a special-grade mecha, Georgia should skip a grade, it was too stimulating to stay in the same classroom with such a person.

Soon, the advanced level exam began. The exam was transparent and open to the public, and any student who wanted to watch it could watch it.

The test questions for this grade skipping exam were set by Master Shang together with several of the most authoritative teachers in the mecha manufacturing major. The content of the exam is very comprehensive and difficult, and the requirements are also very demanding. The scores of all subjects must be above 90 points to successfully skip the grade.

The rumor of "backdoor" that had been circulating after the news of Georgia skipping a grade came out quickly disappeared. With such a difficult exam, it didn't feel like a backdoor at all. It felt more like being framed.

The theoretical exam was held in a large classroom. There were many people watching. Georgia sat alone on the podium. She was not panicked by being watched. She just treated it as a competition on Starnet. She concentrated on completing the theoretical exam paper almost without stopping, and finally got a full score.

After the test, he stood up and thanked the onlookers as if he was participating in a competition on Starnet, then turned around and left in style.

The students looked at the 100-point score still floating on the podium, and then wailed in shock - it was such a difficult question, but he still got 100 points. It's over, it's over. Other people's children are so outstanding, but they are going to be scolded to death by their parents and teachers.

The subsequent practical exam was held in the large laboratory in the practice building. This time, more people came to watch, even Ronnie came to join in the fun.

The practical exams were all about advanced parts, all of which Georgia had never made on Starnet.

As soon as Georgia saw the content of the test, she knew that this question must have been asked by Master Shang. She curled the corners of her mouth, reached out her hand and started the test from the nearest part.

Perhaps because he had already completed the construction of a complete mecha, he was able to learn by analogy and his learning speed was much faster than before. Chu Yan estimated that he would need two months to complete the remedial courses, but in fact, at his current speed, he could complete it in one and a half months at most. These things on the operating table happened to be what he had been learning recently.

Students who have watched the StarNet competition found that the enjoyable feeling of watching Georgia's operation returned, and watching it in real life was more shocking than watching it on StarNet.

There were many senior students among the students watching below. They looked at Georgia's skillful and precise techniques in assembling the parts, and then compared them with their own. They no longer felt jealous, but were filled with envy and admiration.

It is true that there are always people better than you. Some people are born to irritate people. You can never compare to them, absolutely not.

In the first row of the audience, Xiang Kun carefully watched Georgia's assembly technique, his fingers moving unconsciously, and finally he simply took out a parts model and practiced on his own, his brows slightly furrowed and his expression focused, his past impetuousness had disappeared without him noticing.

Chu Yan, who was also sitting in the first row, noticed his movements from afar, was stunned for a moment, his gaze paused on his slightly drooping eyelashes, then came to his senses, snorted with a curled lip, and looked away.

Yuan Xiu, who was standing next to him, saw him do this and looked over there. He saw that Xiang Kun didn't care about other people's attention at all and was concentrating on practicing assembling parts. He felt complicated for a moment.

We have all grown up and are no longer at the age where we can have a fight just for childish reasons like disliking someone.

Thinking of this, he glanced back again, his eyes sweeping over the familiar people sitting in various corners one by one. Seeing their increasingly mature appearance, he sighed with emotion, then moved his eyes back to Georgia and raised his hand to support his chin.

It's great that Georgia is the only one who remains the same as when we first met. She hasn't changed at all.

Put the last assembled part on the operating table, and the system will immediately pop up the result, which is excellent and full marks.

The students watching were shocked again. Xiang Kun, who had finished his practice at some point, suddenly took the lead in applauding. Then Chu Yan glanced over here and, not wanting to be outdone, also started applauding.

Everyone was startled back to their senses by the applause, and began to applaud one after another, and then the applause became thunderous.

——It’s great. Georgia’s assembly technique is clean and neat, and perfect like a teaching model. They were all touched after watching it.

Master Shang at the teacher's table smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have successfully skipped a grade."

"Thanks."

Georgia smiled at him, turned around and thanked the applauding students. Her eyes paused on Xiang Kun, then she waved, turned and left the classroom, and went with Master Shang to go through the procedures for skipping grades.

After finishing all the work, Georgia invited some of her acquaintances to have a big meal in the trade area to celebrate her success in skipping a grade. Neither Jian nor Ning Kongran came, one said that she was helping the teacher research historical documents, and the other said that she was busy with research.

Georgia knew that these were all excuses. Although she felt sorry, she also understood their actions.

The current relationship between the Empire and the Federation is a bit delicate. The Ning family and the Chu family are in direct opposition during this period. Jian and Ning Kongran each have their own concerns, and the best approach is to not contact them.

After dinner, everyone went back to their dormitories. Georgia and Sambu drove their scooters slowly around the campus, chatting about academic matters. When they reached the garden area with many paths, Sambu suddenly stopped talking and gestured to the side.

Georgia looked sideways and saw another mobility scooter driven side by side with theirs, and the person sitting in the car was Ning Kongran.

Ning Kongran, who happened to be looking over, turned his head and smiled at him, then suddenly moved closer to his car, reached out his hand and knocked on the window.

Georgia was stunned and quickly opened the car window. Then Ning Kongran moved his hand and a metal ball the size of a fingernail fell on him. Then Ning Kongran withdrew his hand and accelerated away as if nothing had happened.

"What is this?" Sambu's eyes moved to the small ball on Georgia's body.

Georgia shook her head, picked up the metal ball, and seeing that it could be opened, she carefully unscrewed it, and then a mixed smell of dry floating grass and pomegranate flowers wafted out.

He stared in shock and quickly tightened the metal ball. He glanced in the direction Ning Kongran left, his expression became serious, but his ears drooped - he had never wanted Chu Rong's investigation of Ning's potion to be related to Ning Kongran, and he didn't want this matter to affect the other party's life. But he didn't expect the other party to send this to him.

What was Ning Kongran thinking when he was helping outsiders investigate his family? Was he sad?

Sambu also smelled that smell and intuitively didn’t like it, so he asked, “What’s wrong?”

"Nothing, he gave me something." He answered, tightening his grip on the metal ball. Thinking of something, he turned his head to look at Sangbu and said, "Don't buy the Ning family's mental strength-enhancing potion. It's weird."

"Only a fool would buy that kind of weird stuff." Sangbu frowned in disgust, and seeing that he was in a bad mood, he tactfully stopped asking any more questions.

After getting the medicine, Georgia did not study it immediately, but decided to wait until he got home. The dosage of the medicine was too small, and he was afraid that if he used the ball to test it directly, the ball would eat up the medicine directly like last time.

The next day, he first went to Master Shang's laboratory to complete the procedures for being a nominal experimenter, and then submitted several patents under the guidance of Ronnie. He used his patent and experimenter status to complete the five-month suspension of classes - he owned all the patents for the Starnet modified mecha, so submitting a few patents was just a small matter.

After finishing everything, he said goodbye to Sangbu and other friends, took out the brown hovercraft prepared for him by Chu Rong and returned to Chu's house.

Chu Rong would not be home until after work in the afternoon. After returning home, he went to find Zhuang Yu first, took out the potion and gave her half of it. Then he took the rest of the potion back to the room and took out the ball.

"Qiuqiu, help me try it. This is not a good thing. Please use less."

The ball rolled obediently, then carefully separated the thinnest vine and drilled into the inside of the metal ball.

After being touched by the potion, its body shook, and it retracted its vines in a flash, rolling a little further away from the metal ball.

"What's wrong?" Georgia asked worriedly, moving it a little further away.

Qiuqiu waved the vines and began to release magic power.

Georgia's expression turned serious, and she quickly fed it some magic power. She frowned and looked at the metal ball. After thinking for a while, she put the ball away, took the potion, dipped a little on her finger, and licked it gently.

After the potion came into contact with the human body, it immediately turned into a warm current that rushed straight to the brain, and then a soothing and relaxing feeling spread in the brain. The magic power seemed to be activated. His little face was tense, and he hurriedly drank a bottle of soothing potion, and tightened his hand holding the metal ball.

There is indeed something wrong with this thing, and it’s a big problem.

After receiving the news, Chu Rong rushed back as fast as he could. Seeing Zhuang Yu and Georgia sitting in the living room with ugly expressions, he frowned unconsciously and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhuang Yuxian couldn't hold back any more, so he threw a stack of test materials onto the coffee table and said, "The ingredients of the medicine Qiao gave me are very complex, and the effect is unstable. It should be a semi-finished product. Possible effects include temporarily improving mental strength, making the user feel happy, mentally paralyzed, overdrawing potential... Anyway, none of them are positive effects. The most important thing is that this medicine will cause dependence, and long-term use will cause permanent damage to the brain."

Apart from the effect of improving mental strength, the other effects combined are almost a new type of drug, and the worst kind! When she first received the test results, she almost thought she had seen it wrong.

Chu Rong's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at Georgia, who had been keeping a straight face and not speaking. He thought of something, his face darkened, and asked, "Did you taste this potion?"

Georgia, who was thinking, was brought back to her senses by his question. She shook her head and explained, "I only applied a little to test the effect, and then immediately neutralized the effect with the potion I made. It's okay, don't worry, Sister Zhuang Yu has already checked it for me."

Chu Rong looked at Zhuang Yu when she heard that, and Zhuang Yu nodded helplessly. In fact, she had forced Georgia to do the examination. She was almost scared to death when she learned that Georgia had actually drunk the medicine blindly.

Chu Rong's expression became better. He sat down next to him, rubbed his head, and asked, "Why do you look like that? What did you find?"

Georgia tilted her head and rubbed his hand, thinking of her discovery, frowned and said: "I analyzed the effect of this potion and found that it has a hidden effect, hypnosis. Sister Zhuang Yu is right, this potion is a semi-finished product, and there should be another semi-finished product like this. The two potions need to be mixed together to be the finished product."

Hypnosis? Is it mind control?

Chu Rong and Zhuang Yu looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Mind control is now a forbidden research and drug forbidden area! At the welcome banquet last year, the Xiang family only dared to let high-level psychics control Long Baorou nearby, and did not dare to really damage her mind sea. Now the Ning family actually wants to launch a new type of mind control drug?

What on earth does the Ning family want to do!

"We must stop the Ning family from distributing pre-sale drugs." Zhuang Yu said, gritting his teeth in hatred: "What a medical family, a benevolent doctor, but it turns out to be a group of evil wolves in hypocritical clothes! I thought the Ning family was just obsessed with the promotion of special mental power research, but now it seems that the Ning family is rotten!"

In recent years, the entire pharmaceutical industry has been very respectful to the Ning family. Remembering the contribution the Ning family made in providing medicines free of charge during the war, the industry has tried its best to let the Ning family get the lion's share of the profits.

But I didn’t expect that the Ning family is so greedy that they are now eyeing mind control drugs. Damn it!

At this time, there were only a few days left before the Ning family's one-month pre-sale period for the medicine. Chu Rong heard that and did not delay any longer. He stood up and walked towards the study. Zhuang Yu hurriedly followed him, and Georgia also hurriedly followed.

Chu Huai and Gu Yan'an quickly returned home, and then Gu Ke, the current head of the Gu family, also secretly came over. Several people held a meeting in the study until midnight. Georgia had no idea about these things involving the federal situation and power arrangements, so she only listened for a while and then went out on her own and went into the laboratory.

He still remembered that many groups of people who had tried the medicine for free had already drunk it. No matter who those people were, or whether they could be found in the future, the important thing was to first produce a mild medicine that could neutralize the effects of the medicine.

Time passed unknowingly in the busyness. A few days later, a month passed. On the day when the Ning family's medicine was distributed, the Ning family's pharmacy, which occupied a building all to itself, had just opened early in the morning when a branch of the medicine regulatory department broke into the distribution site of the new medicine and directly sealed up the Ning family's medicine boxes, pointing out that their medicine had not passed the legal review process and that they had to go through the formalities first if they wanted to sell it.

The people waiting to get the medicine were stunned, and then they started to make a commotion - if it didn't pass the review, then it was an illegal medicine? The Ning family actually sold them the illegal medicine that hadn't passed the review?

The Ning family was caught off guard when their business was sealed off. Seeing that the people were not reacting properly, they immediately began to clarify and reported the matter to their superiors. However, the group of people who sealed the medicine did not give them the opportunity to use their connections and power to pressure them. They just picked up the medicine boxes and ran away, leaving behind a blockade alarm device to remind later residents not to collect unapproved medicine.

This trick of pretending to be powerful and then running away was so cunning that the Ning family didn't even have a chance to explain. The alarm device was put up by the government, and private individuals had no right to remove it. So the people became more and more agitated, and soon the news that the Ning family was selling illegal drugs spread.

Old Master Ning slapped the armrest of his chair and said angrily, "Which link went wrong? How could you let the department under your control turn around and screw you over? How do you manage things?"

“At that time, they only came to seal off a basic department. Those people were either newcomers or temporary workers. Now they have all fled to other planets after realizing that something was wrong. It is obvious that someone is deliberately targeting us, and the mastermind behind this is most likely the Chu family.” Ning Tianya explained, with a unhappy expression.

The recent series of actions to promote the medicine were originally helpless moves. Now that it has turned out like this, when the eldest brother returns from the empire, I don’t know how he will blame him!

The Chu family... Mr. Ning thought for a while with a gloomy face, then his expression relaxed again, and he said, "But fortunately we are prepared. The medicine distributed this time is an improved version. Even if the Chu family takes it away, they won't be able to find out anything. Go and deal with the aftermath. Remember to guide public opinion well. The presidential transition is just around the corner. This year's policy theme is here, and we have an advantage. Don't mess it up."

"I understand." Ning Tianya nodded, and his expression became a little better.

In the room upstairs, Ning Kongran took off his headphones, squinted at the ceiling for a while, turned over and took out the custom communicator from under the pillow.

Two days after the medicine was sealed, the Ning family held a press conference to explain the sealing of the new medicine. They said that the new medicine was not illegal, but there was a small procedure that had not been completed. In addition, in order to compensate the people who did not get the medicine this time, the Ning family decided to return their deposit, give them the medicine for free, and give them a box of other more expensive medicines.

Afterwards, the Ning family also stated that in order to thank everyone for their understanding and support in this incident, they decided to set up a medical fund to help the disabled and cultivate talents and give back to society.

"Understanding and support? I'm afraid the Ning family is living in a trap. Now no one understands and supports them." Zhuang Yu sneered, kicked the medicine box at his feet, and said sarcastically: "The Ning family is really skilled in using the trick of selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton."

Georgia took a look at the medicine boxes piled up like trash bins at her feet and said, "This 'new' medicine does have its merits. Long-term use can indeed slightly speed up the cultivation of mental power." But it is only slightly effective. A direct improvement is impossible.

"But this is definitely not the potion that the Ning family gives out for free during festivals." Zhuang Yu scratched his hair irritably, feeling so aggrieved that he wanted to kill all those people in the Ning family.

Georgia understood her feelings very well. In fact, he also wanted to beat up the Ning family. Using drugs to harm people was too despicable.

The two were looking at each other in frustration when the door of the medical room was suddenly pushed open. Fan Xiangnan leaned in and said, "Get ready. The commander will bring a group of people who drank the free medicine here for examination."

Zhuang Yu was stunned when he heard this, then he was overjoyed and asked, "Someone who drinks the potion for free? Did you find that person? Where did you find him?"

"We didn't find it." Fan Xiangnan shook his head and explained, "The Yun family sent it to us."

Zhuang Yu was puzzled: "Yun family? Which Yun family?"

"The Yun family from the prospector family, the one that was saved by the commander back then." Fan Xiangnan explained, glanced at the communicator, said no more, said hello, turned around and left to help Chu Rong pick up the person.

Georgia watched him leave, and thought of the modified small ship she saw when she went looking for cinnabar. She pricked her ears - how come this matter was related to the miners?

Ten minutes later, Chu Rong came back with a few people who looked very bad. There were men and women, old and young, and they looked nothing alike, but all of them had dull eyes and haggard expressions, and their movements were a little slow.

When they got closer, Georgia immediately noticed the unstable and fluttering mental power on them, and turned his head to look at Chu Rong.

"It's the aftereffects of the medicine." Chu Rong explained, pulling him to his side, looking at Zhuang Yu and saying, "Go give them a detailed examination, and then help them with treatment."

Zhuang Yu couldn't wait any longer. Upon hearing this, he quickly called for his assistant to come forward for help and stuffed all these people who seemed to be wandering around into the prepared testing equipment.

While waiting for the test results, Georgia poured a glass of water for Chu Rong and asked, "What are they?"
