Vicious Male Counterpart Isn’t Competing Anymore

Before he died, Yan Hao could never understand why his parents had always favored his younger brother. They spoiled his brother, and wouldn’t pay any attention to himself, no matter what he did.<...

Chapter 71 Your brother is Yan Hao?

Federal University, Faculty of Pharmacy.

Sun Liang is the freshman class teacher of the Department of Pharmacy. He had just finished a pharmacy experiment class and had just returned to the office when he ran into Luo Haiming, the junior class teacher. The two greeted each other with a smile.

"Professor Luo, go find the department head?"

"Yes, I have an improved prescription and I would like to show it to the department head." Luo Haiming nodded.

"That's great. I have one too. Shall we go together?" Sun Liang put the lesson plan in his hand on the desk and took out only one improved prescription.

"Professor Sun, I remember that you just came up with an improvement plan for Purple Sakura at the end of last semester. How come you came up with a new improvement plan so quickly?" Luo Haiming asked curiously.

"It's a discovery of my student. He replaced a new herb, which can greatly improve the efficacy of the mental relaxant." Sun Liang said with a smile.

"It's that Yan Fei again." Luo Haiming guessed.

"It's him." Sun Liang nodded.

"I heard that you have accepted him as your disciple?" Luo Haiming said.

Sun Liang smiled and nodded: "I haven't accepted a disciple for four or five years, it's time to accept one."

"You haven't accepted any apprentices in four or five years, and no one forced you to do so. You just think this kid is talented." Luo Haiming said unhappily, "Since Yan Fei enrolled, you've been coming up with improved prescriptions from time to time. Although they don't work every time, they're pretty accurate. Ordinary people don't have such brilliant ideas. If you train this kid well, he'll definitely achieve something in the future."

"Thank you for the compliment." Sun Liang said modestly, but there was a hint of pride on his face.

As they were talking, the two came to the door of the department director's office, knocked on the door, and after getting permission, they walked in together.

Inside the office, the department head Liao Zhengye was talking on the phone with someone. Upon seeing the two people come in, he raised his hand and motioned for them to sit down for a moment. He continued chatting with the person on the other end for a few words before hanging up the phone.

"Professor Luo, Professor Sun, what brought you here for?" Director Liao asked.

"It's not a big deal. I just figured out an improved prescription and wanted the director to take a look at it." Sun Liang stood up and said.

Director Liao looked at Sun Liang and said with satisfaction: "Professor Sun has come up with a lot of interesting improvement plans recently. Which medicine did he improve this time?"

"Mental soothing agent." Professor Sun said, "Replace the three ingredients in the original prescription and adjust the ratio. The efficacy of the soothing agent can be increased by more than 20%."

Director Liao took the prescription and looked at it, then frowned and said, "Hasn't the adjustment ratio been calculated yet?"

"This ratio is rather complicated and will take some time to calculate. I have already borrowed some people from the Department of Mathematics, and once the modeling is completed, it should be calculated soon," said Professor Sun.

"Since you haven't calculated the ratio, how did you arrive at a 20% increase in drug efficacy?" Director Liao asked.

"We have produced a finished product based on the improved formula and tested its efficacy, which has indeed increased by 20%."

"What's the success rate?"

"Currently, it's only 5%," said Professor Sun.

"5%? Although the efficacy of the drug has been greatly improved, the success rate is too low." Director Liao said, "Let's wait until you and the mathematics department have completed the modeling and calculation."

"Of course I know this, but this prescription was thought up by my student Yan Fei." Sun Liang emphasized the name of his student.

"Yan Fei, this name sounds familiar." Director Liao felt as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"Yan Fei is my disciple. In the first semester of his freshman year, he also figured out two improved prescriptions. He used moonflower instead of purple orchid to make advanced sedatives, which greatly reduced the production cost of advanced sedatives. This was also his idea." Sun Liang said.

Luo Haiming glanced at Sun Liang. He could see that Sun Liang brought this prescription that had not been fully implemented because he knew that the college's research institute was short of an assistant and wanted to take the opportunity to add some highlights by arranging Yan Fei to work in.

"Oh, it's him. I have some impression of him. He is a very talented student." Director Liao thought for a moment and muttered, "Yan Hao?"

"Director, his name is Yan Fei, not Yan Hao." Sun Liang thought Director Liao had heard it wrong and couldn't help but remind him.

"I know, I just think the two names are somewhat similar." Director Liao muttered twice in a low voice.

"Yan Hao? I seem to have seen this name somewhere." Luo Haiming, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Is there anything special about this Yan Hao?" Sun Liang asked puzzled.

"This Yan Hao is also a student of our Federal University, from the Mecha Manufacturing Department." Director Liao said.

"It's about the mecha manufacturing department. That should have nothing to do with us." Sun Liang said.

"Originally, there is no connection, but the problem is that a student of the mecha manufacturing department can produce a very high-purity level 6 sedative." Director Liao looked at Sun Liang, "Professor Sun, are there any students in your class who can produce a level 6 sedative?"

"Director, are you kidding? They are only freshmen, how can they possibly make a level 6 potion?" Sun Liang said without thinking, "To make a level 6 sedative, or a high-purity sedative, you need at least level A mental power, and you need to be very proficient in controlling mental power. Not to mention freshmen, even juniors should not be able to do it."

Luo Haiming nodded and said, "If it is an ordinary level 6 sedative, the students in our class can still make it, but for a high-purity sedative, at present, at most only one person in our class can make it."

"Yes, in our School of Pharmacy, the junior students can barely make these things, but a freshman from the Mecha Manufacturing Academy can actually make them." Director Liao exclaimed.

"How is this possible? If it's true, then this guy must be a pharmacy genius. Why didn't he apply to our School of Pharmacy?" Sun Liang said immediately.

"I don't believe it either, but it's absolutely true. Not long ago, the sophomore students of the Mecha Department went to the No. 3 Barren Planet for an assessment, and one team of students was attacked by level 6 mutant insects. It happened that the high-level sedatives in the base were requisitioned by the front line, and the base had no reserves of high-level sedatives. At that time, it was this Yan Hao and the pharmacist of the base who made the medicine on the spot and cured these students. I just called the pharmacist of the base and he confirmed it himself." Director Liao said, "This Yan Hao not only made a level 6 sedative, but also, after taking the sedative he made, there were no side effects after taking the medicine."

Sun Liang and Luo Haiming are both senior pharmacists. They are aware of the common side effects of taking level 6 sedatives, and the only way to reduce the side effects is to increase the purity of the medicine.

"Ah, I remember!" Luo Haiming suddenly slapped his thigh.

Director Liao and Sun Liang looked over in surprise.

"I was wondering why Yan Hao's name sounded so familiar. He came to our School of Pharmacy to take an exam last year." Luo Haiming said.

"What?!" Director Liao's eyebrows jumped. "I remember that you and Professor Li were the invigilators of the entrance examination last year. What happened then? Why didn't you admit Yan Hao?"

"It's not that we didn't admit him, but that he gave up the exam." Luo Haiming said.

"Give up the exam?!" Director Liao widened his eyes.

"Yes, that day we just announced the exam questions and a student ran away. I thought it was strange at the time and looked up the student's information. His name was Yan Hao." Luo Haiming said, "Now that I think about it, he must have gone to the wrong exam room. At that time, the Mecha Manufacturing Department had the same exam time as us, and he must have been in a hurry to go there."

"Professor Luo, what do you think a student who can make level 6 sedatives as a freshman learned in middle school?!" asked Director Liao.

Luo Haiming was stunned. Yes, those who have studied pharmacy seriously may not be able to produce high-purity sedatives, but a person who has not studied it seriously will definitely not be able to produce high-purity level 6 sedatives.

Director Liao stopped talking. He walked to his desk, turned on his office computer, retrieved the information from last year's entrance exam, and quickly found Yan Hao's information.

Yan Hao, 19 years old, top scorer in the college entrance examination of Z star, Qingyang Middle School, major in pharmacy, first choice, Department of Pharmacy of Federal University.

"..."Luo Haiming.

"He's the top scorer! How come such a good candidate ended up in the Mecha Manufacturing Department?!" Director Liao was furious when he saw Yan Hao's information. He studied pharmacy in middle school, and his first choice was the pharmacy department. How come he suddenly ended up in the Mecha Manufacturing Department, and even ran away during the exam?

"Wait, I remember Yan Fei also seemed to be from Planet Z. Their names are so similar, they must know each other." Sun Liang suddenly said.

Director Liao had already opened the student database, so he also searched for Yan Fei's information.

Yan Fei, 18 years old, ranked 26th in the college entrance examination, Qingyang Middle School, Pharmacy, first choice, the Department of Pharmacy of Federal University.

"It's the same middle school and the name is similar." Luo Haiming looked at Sun Liang.

Regardless of the relationship between the two, as they were in the same middle school, they must have known each other.

"I'll ask Yan Fei to come over and ask." Sun Liang did not hesitate and directly sent a message to Yan Fei, asking him to come to the department head's office.

Yan Fei was tidying up things in the laboratory when he received the message. When he saw the content of the message, his eyes suddenly lit up and his face was filled with a smile that was hard to ignore.

"Yan Fei, what did you see? Why are you so happy?" asked a classmate nearby.

"The teacher asked me to go to the department head's office." Yan Fei replied.

"I asked you to go to the department head's office. It seems that your admission to the School of Pharmacy's research institute was successful. Yan Fei, you are awesome. You are the first person in the Federal University to enter the research institute as a freshman." He shouted loudly, and the students who had not left yet heard it and couldn't help but look over with envy.

"Not yet. It's not certain. Don't talk nonsense." Yan Fei hurriedly covered his classmate's mouth, looking embarrassed.

"It must be this, otherwise why would the department head look for a freshman like you?"

"Maybe there's something wrong with my newly improved prescription. Come over and ask me." Yan Fei said.

"Yes, you have improved three prescriptions in one semester. With such talent, if you don't go to graduate school, who can?"

Yan Fei seemed a little embarrassed by the praise. He blushed and punched the boy who praised him loudly: "Stop talking. I'm going to the dean. Please bring the book back for me."

After saying that, Yan Fei left the laboratory and ran to the office building.

"Teacher, director, Professor Luo." After entering the office, Yan Fei greeted everyone politely.

"You still know me?" Professor Luo raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"You and Professor Li were the invigilators of our entrance exam. How could I not know you?" Yan Fei said with a smile.

"Professor Sun, your disciple is good and has a keen eye," Professor Luo praised.

Sun Liang was already very satisfied with his disciple, and when he saw Professor Luo praising him, he gave Yan Fei an approving look.

"Yan Fei, which planet are you from?" Director Liao looked at Yan Fei.

Yan Fei replied respectfully: "Director, my hometown is Planet Z."

Director Liao had just checked Yan Fei's information and naturally knew that Yan Fei was from Planet Z. He asked this question just to make it easier to start the next question: "Then do you know Yan Hao? He is the top scorer in the college entrance examination on your Planet Z, and he is in the same class as you."

Yan Hao? !

Yan Fei was stunned for a moment. Why was he asking about Yan Hao? Didn’t the department head ask him to come here to let him enter the research institute?

Subconsciously, Yan Fei turned his head and looked at his teacher Sun Liang.

"Xiao Fei, the director is asking you a question." Sun Liang reminded his disciple when he saw him in a daze.

"Yes." Yan Fei quickly replied, "I know him, Yan Hao, he's my brother."

"Your brother?!" Director Liao's voice suddenly became louder.

"No wonder your two names are so similar." Luo Haiming asked directly, "Then do you know why your brother gave up the pharmacy exam?"

"Professor, why are you suddenly asking about my brother?" Yan Fei asked in surprise.

"Professor Luo asks you a question, just answer it." Sun Liang said dissatisfiedly. How come this disciple, who is usually very smart, is so talkative today?

"Yes." Yan Fei pursed his lips and replied in a low voice, "Actually, I'm not sure either."

"You are his younger brother, how could you not know?" Director Liao asked.

"I...my brother doesn't like to talk to me. After he gave up the exam, I went to ask him about it and even advised him to transfer back to the School of Pharmacy..."

"What did he say?!" Director Liao's voice became a little louder with excitement.

"My brother said that he prefers mecha manufacturing now and will not study potions in the future." Although Yan Fei was confused, he still answered everything.

"Why does he like mecha manufacturing? He is obviously more talented in potions." When Director Liao heard that Yan Hao liked mecha manufacturing more, he felt that his treasure was being taken away by a pig and he was heartbroken.

"How does the director know that my brother has a good talent for alchemy?" Yan Fei couldn't help but ask.

"Why? Didn't he have a good talent for potions in middle school?" Director Liao looked at him.

"No." Yan Fei quickly shook his head and said, "My brother has a good talent for potions. When he was in middle school, he always ranked first in the potion exams."

Yan Fei paused and continued, "Although he has a general understanding of the properties of herbs and is not very good at improving prescriptions, as long as he is given a ready-made prescription, the medicine he makes will always have the most stable efficacy."

"It seems that his mental power level should be very high. Do you know what your brother's mental power level is?" Luo Haiming asked.

"I...I don't know." Yan Fei shook his head.

"How could you not know? I remember you told me that when you decided to study pharmacy, you went to the appraisal center to appraise your mental power. Didn't your brother go there that time?" Mental power level appraisal requires going to a special appraisal center, and it costs a lot of star coins to issue an appraisal report. Therefore, most parents will only take their children to the appraisal when they graduate from elementary school and need to choose a major in junior high school. Moreover, they will only go back if they have the conditions or are sure that their children are highly talented.

"My brother and my mother had a fight that day, so I didn't go." Yan Fei said.

"So, your brother has never done a mental strength level assessment?"

"These are all minor issues. He can enter the Mecha Manufacturing Department because his mental strength level is at least B+." Mental strength level B+ is the admission standard for the Mecha Manufacturing Department. Director Liao looked at Yan Fei and asked, "Can you talk to your brother again to see if he wants to come back to study pharmacy? If he comes back, I can give him special approval to enter the Institute of Pharmacy?"

"!!" Yan Fei.
