Yang Jia actually came back alone, and she looked serious and in an abnormal mood, which made everyone around her worried.
Did he have a fight with Li Bai?
But it’s not a good idea to ask too many questions like this. After all, no one knows what happened. It’s very likely that a simple question will touch Yang Jia’s wounds and make her even more sad.
So when Yang Jia announced the call for a meeting of the experimental personnel, everyone cooperated very well.
Well, turning grief and anger into motivation, striving for career success when facing romantic setbacks, is perfectly normal. And venting such emotions at work is always better than bottled up, so everyone showed their support for her through their actions.
Yang Jia had something on his mind and didn't notice everyone's subtle thoughts.
Before returning from the city, she had copied the now-destroyed lab report from memory and handed it to Du Qing. Although she had told Li Bai she would be in charge, Yang Jia didn't think her imitation could be more professional than Du Qing's, so she had no intention of taking over the baton.
Du Qing's expression immediately turned serious after reading the experimental report. She knew very well that the greatest benefit of this experiment was that it provided a correct approach. If they continued along this path and kept trying, they would eventually find the optimal solution. It was just a matter of time.
She did not ask Yang Jia where he got the experimental report, but simply entered the experimental stage.
At this point, the atlas Yang Jia had collected from his extensive travels throughout the game world was incredibly useful. Even professional researchers might not have seen all these plants, and even if they had, they wouldn't know where to find them. But now, simply by referring to the atlas, he could instantly find the information he needed and mobilize the necessary resources.
During the virus research phase, although players were divided into different guilds, their goals were the same: whatever supplies they needed, they would be delivered immediately, and in sufficient quantities. Zhang Zitao also provided computational support, quickly eliminating combinations that clearly didn't meet the requirements and prioritizing valid combinations. Experiments were then conducted according to this standard, completely avoiding unnecessary waste.
With this kind of support, researchers don't have to worry about anything and can just focus on their experiments, and progress will naturally be fast.
Although Yang Jia was aware of the need to lead by example, it was impossible to conduct experiments on human bodies right from the start. Therefore, he initially divided the group into several groups and conducted control group experiments on animals according to the permutations and combinations. He first screened out a number of relatively optimized plans and then conducted more detailed and in-depth comparisons.
Human trials will not be carried out until a plan is relatively mature and stable, and experiments on animals are fruitful.
So as a patient, Yang Jia was only active for a while at the beginning. After being found to have been infected with the virus, he was thrown into the isolation area without hesitation by the people around him to accompany other infected people.
Yang Jia wanted to protest, but was quickly suppressed.
In Bai Ting's words, "You don't have to worry about these things. Since you're sick, just take a rest! The sky won't fall without you!"
To be honest, most of the things that Yang Jia and Li Bai planned had never been said out loud, and they were not something that could be shared with others. However, after being with them for such a long time, who wouldn't have some idea of what was going on?
It is precisely because of this that they unite around the two of them and work towards the same goal.
No one asked for it, but everyone made this choice naturally.
Yang Jia and Li Bai's original criteria for selecting their teammates were correct. Most of these people were passionate about research, so their ideas were naturally simple. The things Yang Jia was leading them on happened to be exactly what they were interested in, so they were naturally able to devote themselves to it.
As for how much they paid and whether there were any gains, no one mentioned it.
With the guiding experimental report, the subsequent progress was rapid. However, because all the attention was focused on the experiment, it was naturally difficult for the Nirvana Guild to notice the various undercurrents outside.
It was not until Fang Pingyuan and Bai Shu sent people to remind them that Bai Ting and Qin Yan realized that during this period, because no news had been spread from the Nirvana Guild, the other six guilds had come up with other ideas.
Fang Pingyuan received the news because, before the others knew it, he had secretly merged the Spark Guild into the Nirvana Guild in an attempt to win him over, but he had noticed. Bai Shu, though one of the first to receive the news, was restrained by those around her because everyone knew of her close ties to the Nirvana Guild, and because Bai Ting was her sister. She was finally able to free herself up. Therefore, the two received the news simultaneously.
"That's too much!" Bai Ting couldn't help but get furious after hearing the news. "They didn't show any mercy when they were trying to get benefits, and now that they see we can't come up with a vaccine for the virus, they're trying to use evil tricks on us?"
The latest discovery about the virus is so shocking that Yang Jia and others chose to bury the experimental results back then, and naturally they dare not make them public now.
Otherwise, if more people knew about it, the news would inevitably spread to the real world. Then, naturally, some people would be blinded by greed and, regardless of the cost, would want to use the modified virus to create a group of elite soldiers to use in the front lines.
This meant they had to suppress the news. The other factions, perhaps convinced that the Nirvana Guild had run out of options and couldn't come up with a new vaccine, were inevitably tempted to take action. After all, it was best to control the vaccine development technology themselves and seize the initiative.
Being controlled by the Nirvana Guild before was not a pleasant experience for these chosen ones. Now that the Nirvana Guild has lost its bargaining chip to control people, it is time for them to settle accounts.
In comparison, Qin Yan could better understand this change. He was a businessman, and in the eyes of a businessman, everything in the world was tied to profit. These powerful forces were adept at weighing the pros and cons. They would befriend them when it was profitable, but turn against them when it was no longer necessary. It was perfectly normal.
"I never thought they'd have any ties to me, so now that it's exposed, it's not a bad thing." It's better than sharing your achievements and then being kicked out. These people will regret it later.
"The problem is, how can we afford to deal with this matter now? And although the Nirvana Guild's strength has been increasing, there is no way it can cope with the combined strength of the six major guilds." Bai Ting said worriedly.
Qin Yan said, "Don't worry about that. Even if they want to do something, they'll definitely have a legitimate reason. So before they actually do anything, they'll definitely send someone over to mess with the situation. It should be fine to delay it for a while, and then... try to contact Li Bai."
He said the last sentence hesitantly, obviously out of helplessness.
Li Bai hadn't returned to the game despite the fact that Yang Jia was infected with the virus, so he clearly had more important things to do. Besides, she was a serving soldier and couldn't move around on her own.
So the two of them looked at each other, and Bai Ting couldn't help but ask, "Should we tell Yang Jia?"
Unknowingly, Yang Jia became their backbone, and even to Bai Ting, she seemed more reliable than Li Bai.
Of course, we can't generalize. Li Bai is the one who turns the tide in times of crisis. With her by their side, there's no difficulty they can't overcome, which is reassuring. But Yang Jia excels at finding opportunities and using her intelligence to break through situations. Right now, they need Yang Jia more than Li Bai.
"I might as well tell you something." Qin Yan pondered for a moment and said, "She's been complaining about being bored these past two days anyway."
Bai Ting also said fiercely, "Let's talk about it. Let's see if they dare to sit down and debate with those infected with the virus!"
Even if they know they won't be infected, most people still feel a little nervous and are hesitant to interact with infected people. This is especially true for those who live in luxury. In their self-proclaimed words, they are called "sons of wealthy families, they cannot sit in the hall."
However, Bai Ting, who was ordered to tell Yang Jia about this matter, did not speak directly, but instead mentioned another matter.
"You want to retire?" Yang Jia looked at Bai Ting in surprise. "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
After all, this was a gaming world. Although Yang Jia had long known that many players were professional soldiers, this fact was rarely mentioned. After all, most people believed in the separation of gaming and reality. So, when Bai Ting suddenly brought this up, Yang Jia naturally had many speculations in his mind.
"Actually, I chose the military path simply because I'm naturally small and lightweight, making me walk silently, which makes me very suitable for completing certain tasks, so I was specially trained. But I'm not that outstanding, and my last name is Bai, so it won't be difficult to retire." Bai Ting said, "Right now, we have more things to do in the game, and we're at a critical juncture, so we need someone to take charge. Qin Yan being a free agent is fine, but I'm a bit of a problem. If I get a sudden transfer order like the boss did, it will be difficult to deal with."
This is a very good reason.
But Yang Jia knew they had entered the game on orders. Aside from Li Bai, no one else had been transferred. The sudden thought of this must have been a problem.
So she quickly came to a conclusion in her mind and looked at Bai Ting and asked, "What happened?"
Seeing Bai Ting frown, she knew that she had guessed right, and then she said, "I have no objection to your discharge from the army. If you have thought it over and are willing to stay and help, I can only be happy." Although Li Bai also needed help with what he did, Bai Ting had a special status. She was obviously a member of the Bai family, but she was Li Bai's direct descendant, so it would be more convenient for her to be discharged from the army.
But Li Bai couldn't mention this matter, and Yang Jia couldn't mention it either, so she had to speak up herself.
Seeing Bai Ting breathe a sigh of relief, she said, "Tell me, is there any problem with the other guilds?"
Bai Ting said angrily, "Yes, my sister and City Lord Fang both sent us a message saying they're ready to make some kind of alliance behind our backs! They seem to suspect we can't come up with anything new, so they're not happy with the Nirvana Guild dominating them and taking up more resources, so they want an explanation."
Yang Jia's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this. "Are you doubting that we can't offer any benefits, or are you doubting that we're hiding some benefits?"
