"My fellow student from Hyacinth College, our Chenxing Herbal Medicine Store mainly does wholesale business. We don't care about small businesses. If you want to buy in small quantities, turn left when you go out. There is a Du Wei Herbal Medicine Store. They will do any business."

The manager of the herbal medicine store had a narrow smile on his face, but his expression almost made people kick Lin Tao out of the store.

"Hehe~" The man in the suit laughed coldly a few times.

The beautiful woman frowned, as if she didn't like the attitude of the people in the store. Seeing Lin Tao's face sank, she couldn't help but explain: "My classmate, I'm so sorry, this time our Xia Pharmacy needs a larger quantity, so..."

Lin Tao turned around and left without saying a word.

"Xinya, why bother explaining to a poor student..."

Hearing the words of the man in the suit behind him, Lin Tao frowned secretly. Just as he was about to leave Chenxing Herbal Medicine Store, he suddenly had an idea.

Genetic medicine was developed in the year 2052 of the Federation Calendar, which is about 60 years from now. However, there is another rumor about genetic medicine.

As early as around 2000, a pharmacist named Xinya had proposed a theory about genetic medicine. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, this person suddenly disappeared into history.

It was not until around 2050 that people developed genetic medicine based on her notebook, which enabled humans to become enhanced genetic warriors.

According to later records, if this pharmacist named Xinya had not disappeared in history, it is very likely that genetic medicine would have appeared earlier.

Thea Pharmacy? Sinya?

In the information that Lin Tao browsed in later life, it turned out that Xinya, the pharmacist who was rumored to be the first to propose genetic medicine, also came from Xia Pharmacy.

Could this Xin Ya be the same Xin Ya? Lin Tao turned around suspiciously and glanced at the beautiful woman called Xin Ya.

Unfortunately, due to Xinya’s disappearance, there are no images of her in later generations.

Lin Tao really wanted to find out the origins of this Xin Ya, but then he changed his mind and realized that he already knew the formulas of both ordinary gene enhancement potions and advanced gene enhancement potions that appeared in later generations. Even if the other party was really Xin Ya, there was no need for him to get the formula from her.

Thinking of this, Lin Tao put aside his concern for this woman and came to Du Wei's herbal medicine store.

"Hey, isn't this Lin Tao? Why are you here?"

As soon as Lin Tao entered Du Wei's herbal medicine store, he heard a voice calling out.

When he looked up, he saw a young man wearing the uniform of the Maintenance Department of Hyacinth Mecha Academy, looking at him with a smile.

With just a glance, Lin Tao's powerful memory immediately knew the man's identity.

Du Ruiming is a classmate of Class 97 of the Maintenance Department of Hyacinth Mecha Academy.

However, since Lin Tao in this body is usually more taciturn, the two sides do not have much contact.

"Du Ruiming, why are you here?" Lin Tao was surprised.

"This is my family's store. After school, I was forced to come and look after the store." Du Ruiming smiled bitterly. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. He tilted his head and looked at Lin Tao with a smile: "Lin Tao, what's wrong with you today? You usually never speak, but today, as soon as you opened your mouth, you got a tutor recommendation card from tutor Gu Lei."

"Just luck." Lin Tao shrugged.

To be honest, how could Lin Tao know that Professor Gu Lei would attend the class, and this guy gave the professor recommendation card just to use him as an example to inspire those studious and motivated students.

In this regard, Lin Tao didn't mind being used.

"Luck? Why don't you give me this luck?" Du Ruiming was full of jealousy and lamented: "I have wanted to study mecha design again for a long time, but unfortunately my old man didn't give me the opportunity, otherwise I could have studied in the mecha design department like my sister."

"Oh?" Lin Tao was quite surprised.

"Lin Tao, since you have advanced knowledge of mecha joints, how come your modification of the hover car failed?" Du Ruiming was a little skeptical after hearing Chi Zhengfei's words in class and couldn't help but ask.

"It's a physical reason." Lin Tao said indifferently.

"I see. Are you here to pick up some herbs?" Du Ruiming glanced at Lin Tao's frail body and immediately understood. He then patted his chest and said, "Lin Tao, tell me what herbs you need. I can give them to you for free."

"Oh?" Lin Tao was startled and smiled strangely: "Are you really going to make the decision to give me a free meal?"

The medicinal materials Lin Tao needed for this trip cost at least several million.

"It's just a few herbs. It's not a big deal." Du Ruiming said, trotting out, leaning close to Lin Tao's ear, and whispering, "Lin Tao, I told my sister about what you mentioned today about the mecha joints. She is also quite interested in the theory you proposed."

"She said that as long as you can spare some time to explain some issues about mecha design, she can give you this amount of lecture fees every day." Du Ruiming stretched out three fingers and shook them.

"Of course, if you need to come and pick up medicine often, I can also waive some of the cost of the medicine for you."

It seems that Du Ruiming also knows something about Lin Tao's situation.

Lin Tao of later generations had observed countless people, so he could naturally tell whether Du Ruiming's words were true or false. He also didn't expect that this classmate, who he didn't have much contact with, was actually such a kind-hearted person.

However, thinking of the amount of herbs needed, Lin Tao shook his head: "Du Ruiming, I need a lot of herbs. You should call someone out. You can't make the decision."

"Oh?" Du Ruiming was suspicious.

At this moment, the beautiful woman named Xinya, accompanied by the man in a suit, also walked into the Du Wei Herbal Medicine Store.

Seeing Lin Tao, the man in the suit snorted contemptuously.

Xinya nodded to Lin Tao apologetically.

There were quite a few people in the pharmacy, and someone immediately came forward to entertain the two.

"Lin Tao, how much medicinal herbs do you need?" Du Ruiming saw someone going to entertain him and was too lazy to go over, so he quickly pulled Lin Tao aside to ask.

"At least three kilograms of Tianxing grass. If you have Linhehua here, I'll need about two kilograms. And..."

Before Lin Tao finished speaking, Du Ruiming screamed as if he had seen a ghost: "What? Three catties of Tianxing grass! Two catties of Linhe flower! Lin Tao, are you here to pick up the herbs, or to steal them?"

Medicinal herbs such as Tianxingcao and Linhehua are very expensive. Even if they are sold in pharmacies, they are sold by currency. For example, Tianxingcao costs two thousand star coins per currency, and Linhehua is even more expensive, reaching five thousand star coins per currency.

The starting price was two or three kilograms. The price of these two medicinal herbs alone, based on the quantity, has reached 1.6 million star coins.

Free of charge?

Hiss! Du Ruiming took a breath of cold air. How could he dare to mention the free meal again? If he really wanted to get a free meal, the old man would probably beat him up that night.

Moreover, for such a large quantity of medicinal materials, generally speaking, apart from wholesalers or some pharmacies, I'm afraid few people would place such an order.

Du Ruiming's voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the store. Everyone looked at Lin Tao with shock in their eyes.

Xinya looked at Lin Tao in surprise, and even the man in the suit was quite surprised.

However, when the man in the suit saw Lin Tao in his school uniform, his face darkened and he sneered, "You are a poor student, and you asked for three catties of Tianxing grass and two catties of Linhe flower. Are you trying to get rid of us?"

Xin Ya was stunned, and looked at Lin Tao with some disgust.

Because the two of them needed to buy these herbs, she thought that Lin Tao was bullied by the people in Chenxing Herbal Medicine Store and was annoyed with them, so she planned to use words to provoke the two of them to leave.

As soon as these words were spoken, the way the shop assistants looked at Lin Tao suddenly changed. Because Du Ruiming seemed to know Lin Tao, they didn't say anything more.

"Lin Tao, you..."

After hearing what the man in the suit said, Du Ruiming immediately thought of Lin Tao's situation and couldn't help feeling suspicious.

"Du Ruiming, I really need a large amount of medicinal materials. If you can't supply them, then I can only go to the next one." Lin Tao said with a smile.

Because of Du Ruiming's enthusiasm, Lin Tao still hopes to make a purchase in this store. After all, the quantity of medicinal materials he needs this time is quite large.

Although Du Ruiming was suspicious, seeing Lin Tao's confident face, he touched his nose and said, "Lin Tao, wait a moment, I'll ask the old man to come out. I really can't make the decision on such a large amount."

However, he then lowered his voice again: "Lin Tao, do you really have that much money?"

Lin Tao nodded and smiled without saying anything.

"Then you wait a moment." Du Ruiming hurried back to the inner hall.

"Haha~ A poor student actually dares to ask for several kilograms of Tianxingcao and Linhehua? I want to see how you end up." The man in the suit waved his hand and asked the salesperson in the drugstore to step aside.

Xinya frowned slightly, stood aside and said nothing.

After a while.

The owner of the herbal medicine shop, Du Wei, came out. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sturdy build and a steady look.

"So you want to purchase three kilograms of Tianxing grass and two kilograms of Linhe flower?" He looked at Lin Tao with a puzzled look on his face.

Long before he came out, he had learned about Lin Tao's situation from Du Ruiming. He was an orphan who lived in poverty and did not look like someone who could easily come up with tens of millions of star coins.

Moreover, Lin Tao was wearing the school uniform of the Maintenance Department of Hyacinth Mecha Academy.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a rich man.

Lin Tao nodded: "I need more than these, probably more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs."

"Then tell me." Du Wei glanced at Xin Ya and the others and frowned slightly.

With his experience, he could naturally see that there seemed to be a conflict between Lin Tao and the other party. He also didn't want Lin Tao to deliberately say this just to vent his anger and drive away his guests.

After all, the medicinal materials that Lin Tao needs are not only large in quantity, but also expensive, which is not something that ordinary people can afford. Moreover, Lin Tao is just a student of the Mecha Academy. What's the use of so many medicinal materials? On the contrary, Xinya, who comes from the pharmacy, will definitely not spend a single cent if she needs medicinal materials. She is considered a big customer.

If it was true, he would be very disappointed with his son's classmate, and Du Wei definitely didn't want his son to have such a friend.

"Three catties of Tianxing grass, two catties of Linhe flower, and five catties of Piaowu grass..."

In a short moment, Lin Tao had already named more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs and their quantities.

Hearing Lin Tao's words, Du Wei's face became more and more shocked. Not only him, but even Du Ruiming and the shop assistants beside him were all stunned.

This is because the price of each of the medicinal herbs Lin Tao reported was not low, and when added together, the total amount was almost close to tens of millions of star coins.

Not to mention the value and use of these medicinal herbs, what on earth would they be used for if they were purchased in such large quantities? Moreover, Lin Tao was only a student in the Maintenance Department of the Mecha Academy.
