Chapter 385 Don't Underestimate Lan Weiying
Not only Xu An wanted to go, but Four-Eyes and a few others from Planet Loy also wanted to give it a try, including Li Kun.
Qu Tong didn't stop her.
go!
Go to all the places you want to go.
The recruitment ceremony for the Fifth Army Corps is sure to be fiercely competitive, and being able to enter the corps will be considered a stroke of good fortune for them.
They even had Hu Qing, who was well-informed, explain the precautions to them and give them some last-minute professional training.
Qu Tong also went to see the election on the day of the election.
Given Xu An's strength, it was no surprise that his mercenary team was basically selected.
Surprisingly, Li Kun also managed to slip in, barely making it past the edge.
Li Kun had performed reasonably well on her planet, and Xiang Bin had signed a long-term labor contract with her at her behest. However, due to their past misdeeds, Qu Tong did not consider any of the three of them during the two screenings for physical conditioning drugs.
Therefore, Li Kun is still at grade B, which is the minimum requirement for Gong Yun's recruitment.
Li Kun never attended a military academy; he only learned a little from Tang Shigui on the planet.
Besides Li Kun, five other people came from Luo Yi Star, three of whom were not selected.
Both of the selected individuals had previously taken physique-enhancing drugs, and their simple faces beamed with bright smiles. The person who was not selected also had a good attitude and did not complain.
Li Kun spotted Qu Tong with sharp eyes, his eyes lit up, and he immediately pushed his way through the crowd.
"Miss! Thank you for letting me come. It's also thanks to you that someone helped me cram at the last minute that I managed to beat those other guys in the same group. I almost didn't get selected, what a close call!" Li Kun chattered excitedly, his eyebrows dancing with joy.
"Congratulations!" Qu Tong didn't want to spoil the mood, so she took a potion from her spatial button as a reward.
Li Kun accepted it with delight, "There's a reward too?"
The others followed and expressed their gratitude to Qu Tong.
Qu Tong also rewarded each person with a bottle of high-grade nutrient solution.
The medicines came in a variety of colors and flavors, but Li Kun's was orange and carrot-flavored.
After being selected, there were still a series of procedures to go through, so Qu Tong went back early.
I just received a message from Old Yuan, telling her to come back immediately; his tone was very urgent.
When Qu Tong returned to school, Old Yuan pulled her into the laboratory.
"Girl, where did you get this potion?" Old Yuan asked excitedly, his eyes fixed on Qu Tong.
Qu Tong glanced at the medicine containing glass shards on the testing table. "You got it from a group of space pirates. What's wrong with that?"
Old Yuan's expression darkened, and after a long while he said, "The smell and ingredients of this potion are very similar to the drink I had before."
"You mean this potion and the potion that destroyed your mental sea came from the same person?"
“It should be.” Old Yuan’s expression was solemn. “Even if it wasn’t configured by the same person, it’s still the same organization or team.”
Seeing that things were looking promising, Qu Tong pressed on, "Then can you find the source of this potion based on this scent, just like you did before?"
"I'm not a search and rescue dog, how can I find people by smell?" Old Yuan rolled his eyes at Qu Tong, annoyed. "My nose is more sensitive to the smell of medicine, but I can only detect it when I come into contact with a person. And the person has to have recently prepared this medicine, otherwise the smell of medicine on their body will fade over time."
Qu Tong: "..."
It seems useful, but it also seems useless.
It's purely a matter of luck.
But luck is completely unreliable.
Old Yuan certainly noticed Qu Tong's disdainful look, but there was something more important: "Could I meet that group of space pirates?"
Qu Tong pondered for a moment, "It should be possible. I'll have His Highness make the arrangements."
The members of the Quicksand Star Pirates broke out of prison, took ordinary citizens hostage, and abused illegal drugs. Despite their heinous crimes, they were not sentenced to death, which shows that they wanted to find the team behind them and destroy them as well.
Old Yuan might be helpful to the case, and Si Yuting probably won't refuse.
Qu Tong directly called Si Yuting and, with Old Man Yuan's consent, told him about how he could detect the scent of the medicine.
Upon hearing this, Si Yuting agreed without hesitation, "It just so happens that Cheng Feng has some leads. If Elder Yuan has time, could you help me meet with a few people?"
Qu Tong turned her gaze to Old Man Yuan. She turned on the speakerphone so that Old Man Yuan could hear her.
Although Old Yuan didn't particularly like Si Yuting, he agreed for the sake of the truth.
"Okay, I'll have Chengfeng come and pick up Elder Yuan later."
Si Yuting had other matters to attend to, so he hung up the call after making the arrangements.
Old Yuan grumbled in dissatisfaction, feigning indignation, "What kind of status does he have that I have to meet him in person? Should I just bring him here by kidnapping?"
Qu Tong rolled her eyes at him and said rudely, "You're just a suspect, yet you kidnapped him. If you're so capable, why don't you just fly to the moon?"
"You should get out and about. The lab's practically your home." Old Yuan was definitely the most homebody I'd ever met, even though he was obsessed with pharmaceuticals.
Old Yuan retorted dismissively, "Why would I go out if I have nothing to do? To give those who want to assassinate me an opportunity?"
“From now on, I’ll have Lou Xiaochuan protect you. Go out and explore more; you never know when you might run into the person who framed you back then,” Qu Tong said.
Lou Xiaochuan was unfortunately not selected along with Xu An and the others because of a blemish on his resume, even though he had a high physical fitness level.
"Alright, alright," Old Yuan said without refusing.
"By the way, I heard that the Pharmacists' Guild has been quite unsettled lately, with several senior pharmacists threatening to leave the guild." Old Yuan said this with obvious delight.
Qu Tong had also heard about it, and a smile played on her lips. "This is a good thing."
"I don't know what that old bastard Lan Jianghong was thinking. At a time like this, he handed over the leadership of the Apothecary Guild to Lan Weiying and didn't even show up himself. Could it be that he fell ill from anger last time?" Old Yuan speculated as he flipped through the latest news on the StarNet.
"Don't underestimate Lan Weiying; her scheming is in no way inferior to Lan Jianghong's," Qu Tong commented aptly.
At least every time something happens, Lan Weiying is able to exonerate herself cleanly, and she is very good at making use of everyone and everything around her.
However, with her around, it's uncertain whether she can handle the mess that's been created by the Lan family.
Let's wait and see.
Not long after, Old Man Yuan was taken away.
With Lou Xiaochuan and Chengfeng protecting her, Qu Tong did not go with them.
I'll be resting for the next couple of days, so I won't be getting any medication. I'll go back to my dorm and look at the things Lin Mo's assistant sent me.
The assistant was right; even without Lin Mo, his business could continue smoothly.
Qu Tong also greatly admired Lin Mo's foresight in predicting danger; no wonder he was able to develop so quickly after returning from a six-year absence.
In just half a month, a portion of the repayments have been returned to her account.
This was one of the promises Lin Mo made when he sought her investment because he didn't have enough funds: she would take a stake in the exotic beast meat company he took back from the Lan family, the companies he acquired, and the businesses he stole.
As for why Lin Mo chose her, it was naturally because she was the best candidate who met the criteria.
She believed that once Lin Mo woke up, she would have even more benefits in the future.
She enjoys the feeling of making money while lying down.
Qu Tong was just thinking about whether she should find someone to learn financial management from Butler Chi when there was a knock on the dormitory door.
Qu Tong got up to open the door.
