Upon returning to his unit, Song Tangyuan immediately went to the director to report the results of his trip.
He almost repeated Li Chu's exact words, and finally said, "Sir, based on my understanding of him, what he said should all be true, and he has no reason to lie to me."
After listening, the director remained silent for a long time, sitting there with a frown, seemingly lost in thought.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "Okay, I understand. He wasn't wrong. If this prescription were really that easy, the higher-ups would have ordered it to be studied long ago, and they wouldn't have refused to approve the project."
Okay, let's leave it at that. But thankfully you went and asked today, otherwise we don't know how much longer we would have gone down the wrong path. You can go back now; thank you for your hard work today.
"Boss, this is what I should do."
After Song Tangyuan left, the director sat there in a daze for a long time before shaking his head, sighing, picking up the phone on the table, and dialing.
The notification was sent to put the research on the prescription on hold.
After hanging up the phone, he breathed a long sigh of relief. With the project canceled, he no longer had to worry about funding or running out of lab rats.
It also makes me feel a little more relaxed.
...
That night, Li Chu lay in bed, holding his wife, who had been exhausted and was now fast asleep, in his arms.
He slept for quite a while after coming back this morning, and he's not sleepy at all right now.
Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and another year has passed.
Turning his head to look at his wife beside him, twenty years had passed in the blink of an eye. She was still as charming and beautiful as when he first met her, only now she had a more mature and alluring air about her.
He lay in bed, his mind wandering. After a while, he remembered that he hadn't checked in for a while. Since he wasn't sleepy, he decided to check in now.
"Ding ding ding~"
He has now reached a state where the voice is heard in his mind but not in his heart.
In fact, he no longer knew what he should be asking for in the sign-in reward points.
It seems like he lacks nothing: a big house, a private car, a beautiful wife, two children, and high social status.
These are things that many men dream of, and he has them all, so now he is almost without desires, and he can be rewarded with whatever he wants.
Before I knew it, the ringing in my mind had stopped.
My mind was quite calm as I immersed myself in my thoughts.
Perhaps because there are more supplies available now, the system isn't giving out much this time. Things like canned meat, canned fruit, pork, mutton, and whole chicken that used to be given out are all gone.
They gave out quite a few tickets, and the money they gave out this time was also generous.
Since that year when they gave us a large box of gold weighing several hundred kilograms, they have not given us any more gold.
That's alright, though, he still doesn't know what to do with the gold he was given earlier.
Five more wild ginseng plants, each a hundred years old, were given to him. The rate at which he was consuming them was already slower than the rate at which the system was rewarding him. However, these plants were absolute treasures, and he wouldn't mind having more.
After tidying up the first few items, he was still quite excited looking at the large pile of things left.
There are two skill books. I'll put this one aside for now and not read it in time. The rest are some rather precious Chinese medicinal herbs.
Li Chu believed that even the Health Bureau's warehouse might not have as many of these Chinese medicinal herbs as he had.
Saffron, both now and in the future, remains one of the most expensive medicinal plants in the world, and is also a spice.
Deer antler has high medicinal value and is also a very good tonic.
Ejiao, made from donkey skin, is one of the best blood-nourishing products.
Sun-dried seahorses are incredibly effective at enhancing male virility and tonifying the kidneys.
Cordyceps sinensis is a nutritional supplement that can be taken by people of all ages.
These precious Chinese medicinal herbs are rare and hard to come by, regardless of their price. These are wild herbs that you can't buy even if you have money.
Later on, all the ones on the market were farmed, and their medicinal properties were greatly reduced.
After carefully packing all these items away, only two skill books remained.
The first book... what the heck is this? Drum skills? Is this even available in China now?
His gaze couldn't help but fall on a corner of the warehouse, where there were three skill books, all related to music: guitar, piano, and suona.
What is the system trying to do? What use does it have for this skill?
With a thought, the skill book appeared on top of the three skill books in the corner. Well, let it gather dust there, even though there's no dust in the warehouse.
He will not learn these four skills, at least not at the moment.
Because once you learn it, if you accidentally reveal it one day, you won't be able to explain it.
Although he could play the guitar a little in his previous life, he only knew a few songs.
Now there's only one skill book left, hopefully it'll be useful.
Seeing the words written on the book cover, even he, in his current state of mind, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
He excitedly squeezed the hand he had placed on his wife's chest.
"Hmm~ Stop playing, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm too sleepy."
This pinch woke Ding Qiunan up. Still half asleep, she thought her man was up to something again. She mumbled a few words and snuggled into his arms a few times.
Having already withdrawn from her thoughts, Li Chu quickly hugged her tighter and gently patted her back.
After his wife had fallen into a deep sleep, he finally focused his attention back on the warehouse, looking at the skill book.
I'm really sleepy, here's a pillow.
He was worrying about how to teach his son these past few days when the skills book arrived.
This isn't actually a skill book; rather, it allows the user to transfer a specific skill and experience to a designated person.
And that person doesn't learn it all at once, but rather the speed at which they learn the skill will increase.
Top students learn by analogy, but for him, it's about applying one thing to five, or even ten.
The Gene Era
This is wonderful! Now he no longer needs to worry about his son learning traditional Chinese medicine. With just a little guidance and instruction from him, his son will pick it up very quickly.
Okay, I'll give it to Li Wenxuan tomorrow.
He sighed again, "Why didn't they give us two more copies of this book?"
In this way, he can also give some to Wenhui and Wang Yueyue respectively.
If Wenhui studies pharmacy and does well in traditional Chinese medicine, she can specialize in researching traditional Chinese medicine in the future.
As for Wang Yueyue, she majored in English at teachers' college. If there were another book like this, and her English skills could be passed on to her, that would be really great.
But now that she knows how to learn English on her own, I can teach her at home in the future.
