Chapter 71 Apple: Good people will have a peaceful life.

Why can humans in the last days feed on nutrient solution painlessly?

Firstly, after the end of the world, even ordinary people’s physical fitness has improved. Secondly, there is simply not enough food. Between starving to death and not starving to death, smart people know what to choose.

The most important thing is that consuming nutrient solution is the cheapest and most effective way to slow down the onset of radiation sickness. As we all know, radiation is everywhere in the apocalypse. Humans are irradiated, and so are animals and plants. Only the strong are worthy of eating food. It is not because the weak cannot get proper food, but because eating proper food is tantamount to rapid suicide for ordinary people.

Professor Bian also drank nutrient solution in the past, so he is indeed the most qualified person to speak on this matter.

Nature is very graceful. It allows all living things on the earth to "evolve", and the evolution process is very slow, and it often follows the principle of "use it or lose it".

In other words, if humans stop eating, their eating organs will gradually degenerate.

Precisely because he advocates nature, he has no intention of promoting nutrient solution. If the people around him were not too annoying, he would not give in at all.

[Wow, such a spicy review! It feels like Bian Shen himself is pouring oil for his own products. Is it my imagination?]

[It's not an illusion. Bian Shen simply doesn't advocate taking nutrient solution. His attitude is clear: this is just an emergency energy supplement.]

[Although it sounds a bit harsh, what Bian Shen said is true. Use it or lose it. Everything is the same. Look at the island country next door. Because the food they eat is very soft and rotten, many people have problems with maxillofacial receding and crowded teeth. Do you think this is beautiful?]

If this hadn't come from Bian Shen, I'd have thought it was some kind of underhanded rhetoric from a rival company. It's too direct. Bian Shen, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell the nutrient solution?

…

"If we can't sell anything, we'll just close down. It's not a big deal. The unemployed employees can report to the next project team."

Bian Ling casually said, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

[As expected of you, I feel like if I work for Bian Shen, I'll never have to worry about unemployment. He's so kind! I'm crying!]

[Who says it isn't true? My second aunt works at a pharmaceutical factory. She has a very good salary and benefits, and even travel vacations. When I found out about this during Chinese New Year, I was so envious!]

[It seems that Bian Shen is in a good mood today, and his voice is full of joy. Did something good happen?]

…

"Well, it's a good thing."

Assistant Wen, who knew what the good news was: ...How can it not be a great thing?

[Wow, Bian Shen is really good at answering questions. If I ask what good things are, how will you respond?]

[What are you thinking about? If it's about the project, I definitely can't tell you. Don't force it.]

[Actually, I'm wondering how much nutrient solution can I bring on a plane? I'm planning a trip abroad next year, but it's a budget trip. I can't get used to white food anyway, so if I bring all the nutrient solution, I'll probably save a lot of money on food.]

[Yes, yes, yes, I have the same need. It's not that I'm traveling on a budget, I'm just turned off by the food abroad. It's really terrible. But I have to go on a business trip. Can I get through airport security now?]

…

This really touched upon Bian Ling's blind spot. He turned to look at Premier Wen, who looked helpless, but still explained, "For the time being, you can't take it abroad. However, you can check it in on domestic flights. If you're carrying it on, you can only bring two. Railways should be more relaxed, but they must be unopened."

"He has a lot of words, so you should listen to him."

Assistant Wen: ...

The assistant's voice sounds a bit tired. What's going on? Why are you so reluctant to work for our CEO? Do you understand what you're doing? If not, let us do it!

[Be nice, our General Bian is still here. If you have anything to say, we can discuss it online later, Assistant.]

[That’s right, don’t be ungrateful for what you have. There are so many jobs out there that you’d be happy to do even if you were paid!]

[This isn't right, this voice... sounds a bit like our boss's voice, doesn't it?]

[Who is your CEO? Which company has such a young CEO?]

[I can’t say this, or I’ll be fired tomorrow for walking into the company with my left foot~]

…

Bian Ling, however, was unconcerned and spoke directly: "I didn't expect your company's employees to be so lively, not at all like you who are so old-fashioned~"

What else could Wen Xun do? He could only introduce himself: "I'm just your anchor assistant now, so don't bring up irrelevant topics."

[What? He's actually the boss?]

[The funder of the horizontal project, I think. Everyone in the industry knows that this person has been very kind to Bian Shen, so they must be very close.]

[You all know this?! Why am I the only one who doesn't know? You're so good at being my assistant in the livestream studio?]

[Well, this person is the infamous anti-cancer drug patient zero, a highly renowned figure in Beijing's capital circles, a god of investment, and currently the CEO of Skyfire Pharmaceuticals. The two of them complement each other perfectly, so it would be strange if they didn't have a good relationship.]

[I'm curious how the two of you met?]

…

"Are we on good terms?" Professor Bian thought for a moment, then began to talk nonsense, "We're partnering to buy... Ugh!"

As long as he covered his mouth quickly enough, the cemetery wouldn't be able to catch up with him. Boss Wen said with a ferocious expression, "You Bian Shen usually like to joke around. Actually, we met on the road while hitchhiking."

[Are you serious? Let our Bian Shen go!]

[It seems like their relationship is really good. Bian Shen isn't even angry about this. Just like the rumors online, Bian Shen has a very good personality.]

[So what about the details? I don't want to hear from the assistant, I want to hear from Bian Shen!]

"Still not letting go?" Bian Ling tossed an apple over, motioning for the other person to peel it, before slowly speaking, "The details are that I was broke at the time and had no money for a ride home. This kind-hearted assistant took pity on me and stopped his car to give me a ride. Even after I refused, he persisted and insisted I get in. I couldn't refuse, so I said I had a big project, and if you just pay, I'll guarantee you a long life!"

Friend, is this how diligence is used?

But finally, the sales pitch for the underworld residence was gone. President Wen breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic. "At the time, I thought it was some kind of honey trap, but as everyone knows, I was already in the late stages of stomach cancer at the time, and I didn't have much time left. I did have a lot of money, so I figured even if they were extorting money, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, money is something you can't bring with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. And then they just said they'd invested in your project."

[No, you two are playing a double act? Is it so dramatic? I thought you two met at some high-end event.]

[Bian Shen's big projects: Cancer Elimination and bionic prosthetics; my big project: sharing the formula for achieving the ultimate in sales during a major promotion.]

Are angel investors so easy to fool? So would you have given money to anyone who tried to extort it?

[Damn Ning Da! They forced the then-Bian Shen to the point where he had no money to ride. What a life-and-death feud! There are still many good people in this world. This boss deserves a long life.]

…

"Why do I remember you hesitated for a long time?"

"Do you call two days a long time?"

Bian Ling took the apple and took a bite. Hmm, apples peeled by others are still more delicious, except for Shen Yuchuan: "Soon? A little longer and then... Hmm!"

Premier Wen is becoming more and more skilled at covering his mouth.

"Talk about it nicely, talk about it again, I beg you."

Is Bian Ling an obedient person? Of course not. He just chooses to speak his mind: "It's true. If it weren't for you, I might not have studied anti-cancer drugs at all."

【Host, please don’t...】

Even Premier Wen was shocked. He didn't expect that someone exiled to Lingnan would say something like this: "I always thought..."

"Have you always thought that I've been working on the anti-cancer drug project alone for a long time, and because I had no connections, I came to you, a scapegoat? It just so happens that you really need it. Are we like Boya and Ziqi?"

Bian Ling shook his head, not trying to hide it. "I did work on it for a long time, but at the time I couldn't see the end. I felt that... any scientific research project was meaningless."

Only the system knows the true meaning of this sentence.

The end of the world provided Professor Bian with fertile soil for scientific research, but did not provide him with a good growth environment, so that although Dawn No. 1 came out, there was no corresponding space for promotion.

He could have become famous overnight, but someone wanted to take advantage of him and completely remove him from the project.

And because of his ordinary identity, even if Bian Ling was a genius, he could not resist the behemoth like the base.

So, even though he was about to die, he was unwilling to give up his achievements.

If he's not having a good time, then no one will have a good time either.

"It's you who makes me feel that there are still good people in this world."

Bian Ling took a bite of the apple. The fruity aroma was sweet, not the turbid smell in the air of the apocalypse. He suddenly smiled and said, "So, I decided to make a bet with you."

It's hard to imagine. Just yesterday he was exiled to Lingnan and blacklisted, and today... how could he suddenly change his ways?!

Not only was Premier Wen stunned, the audience in the live broadcast room also didn't expect that the now famous Bian Shen had once experienced such a dark time.

Even scientific research seems meaningless. This might be... true despair, right?

Everyone said that Bian Shen had been caught in the rain himself, so he liked to hold an umbrella for others. In fact, they all underestimated the heavy rain. Although it had been a long time ago, the rain was still very heavy for Bian Shen.

"I..." Did he really have to bring up this kind of topic during a live broadcast? Although he really wanted to have a good chat, this was definitely not the right occasion. He was about to lose his composure.

"Fortunately, I won the bet. Mr. Wen, you are indeed a good person." Bian Ling tossed another apple over. "Good people will have a peaceful life. Have an apple."

Wen Xun held an apple in both hands and dared not make a sound.

When the man who was exiled to Lingnan becomes sincere, it is really hard to resist.
