Chapter 37: The Beta Female Supporting Character in the ABO "Wife-Chasing Hell" Scene
Luo Shu named the drug "Rebirth". Due to its powerful effects, the Federation still needs to conduct tests, and it is estimated that it will be released to the market in about half a month.
Luo Shu doesn't need to handle some of the finishing touches; she has already entered Professor Li's research lab, where their research focus this time is on biological weapons.
The project leader is Professor Li Guangzhao.
Luo Shu was also in the research group at the moment. After her first semester, she entered Professor Li Guangzhao's laboratory.
Upon arriving at the lab, Luo Shu's senior classmates looked at this excessively beautiful junior sister. Her frail and slender figure really didn't seem like someone who could be involved in their biological weapons research.
However, Luo Shu has been studying non-stop this semester. Her soul power is enormous; she only needs two hours of deep sleep to stay awake for a whole day. Her knowledge reserves over the past six months have reached an astonishing level.
Although Luo Shu was not valued when she first arrived at the lab, and was just a handyman, Professor Li Guangzhao, a research giant, could not be by Luo Shu's side all the time. Once you enter the lab, the master leads you in, but the rest is up to you. As for how well you learn, it all depends on you.
The turning point came when a very important instrument in their laboratory, the Cerberus Chromatography-Light Spectrometer, malfunctioned due to improper operation. This instrument was extremely expensive, costing 200 million Star Coins.
As a result of improper operation, the machine crashed. The lab technician who was operating it rolled his eyes and fainted. There was nothing that could be done; repairing this kind of instrument was particularly troublesome. It required contacting the manufacturer, and the repairman sent from there not only required the lab to cover travel and meal expenses, but there was also no guarantee that he could fix it 100%.
There's nothing we can do; this is the latest and most advanced version. I can understand why the research institute was so frustrated.
Luo Shu had also specifically researched this instrument; its thick stack of instruction manuals lay in her mind. Perhaps, she could give it a try.
"Can I give it a try? I've thoroughly researched its information."
Seeing that it was Luo Shu who was speaking, the researchers didn't hold out much hope. Although this new junior sister was very smart, she had been in the industry for too short a time. She had never used this instrument before, so it was no wonder that no one believed her when she said she was coming to fix it.
Professor Li nodded and let Luo Shu give it a try. He knew that Luo Shu wouldn't bring it up if he wasn't confident.
Even if it's not fixed, it's fine, since it's broken anyway.
Luo Shu wrote a program, then restarted the crashed machine, adjusted the mode and frequency, and then entered the program. The machine program started running again and actually fixed the problem.
Amazing junior sister!
The researcher who had rolled his eyes hugged Luo Shu tightly, tears streaming down his face. "Waaah, thank you so much, junior sister! I don't have to pay compensation, and the research progress won't be delayed."
Although Luo Shu brushed him aside, she was still that noble and aloof beauty, but she was really reliable. Oh no, is this what it feels like to fall in love?
After this incident, Luo Shu transitioned from a menial assistant to a researcher.
With his powerful memory, exceptional hands-on skills, and inexhaustible stream of brilliant ideas, he became the undisputed king of the laboratory and a core researcher.
The laboratory was quiet at this moment. Several researchers were looking down at the data on the table with extremely focused eyes. Professor Li Guangzhao, who was at the head of the table, looked rather unpleasant. His brows were furrowed, his face was gloomy, and the atmosphere was very tense, making everyone afraid to even breathe.
Luo Shu, sitting to his left, was completely unaffected. She even took off her gold-rimmed glasses and gently wiped them. Anyone who saw her would say she was remarkably nonchalant.
Luo Shu said calmly and slowly, "Teacher, how do you know it won't work if you don't try?"
Li Guangzhao was clearly angry; his voice was low and hoarse: "What we're doing isn't developing weapons, it's developing monsters."
"Teacher, even if it's a monster, we can destroy it after we fail. How can you be sure it's not a completely new evolution?"
Luo Shu's eyes were burning with passion, and her porcelain-white face flushed slightly with excitement, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
"Teacher, let's give it a try. Even if we fail, it's just a matter of starting over."
"The road ahead is long and arduous, but we are ready to start anew."
"Teacher, this is not like you. Professor Li Guangzhao, the most fashionable professor in our Federation University, don't you have the courage to start from scratch with your students?"
Luo Shu said these words with a smile, her voice gentle, and her eyes fixed firmly on Professor Li Guangzhao. Professor Li looked at the student in front of him with a complicated expression.
She was the most talented student he had ever taught. Some of his ideas even amazed him at times. Given time, she would surely become a pillar among mecha pilots and make a name for herself.
If this project fails, he will be too old to care much, having already heard the rumors for most of his life. But his students are in the prime of their youth, with a bright future ahead of them. How could he bear to let them go?
He did have a little bit of selfishness in his heart.
"I'll think about it. Didn't you take leave? Go on vacation and don't bother me."
The old man didn't even look at the students sitting there; he simply pushed open the door and left, his back view somewhat desolate.
Luo Shu didn't care about Professor Li's words. She knew that deep love leads to harsh criticism, and her teacher had always been very good to her.
The laboratory only gradually became lively after Professor Li's figure had completely disappeared.
"The professor's face was so dark just now, I didn't dare to say anything."
"Me too, me too. Luo Shu, you're so bold. This is what it means to be skilled and daring."
"Luo Shu, what are you doing on leave? This project is over, but we can start a new project."
Luo Shu simply smiled at everyone in the laboratory, her red lips moving slightly as she uttered two words: "Secret."
Then, carrying his things, he left the research lab. Outside the school, there was an inconspicuous flying car, very low-key.
As soon as Luo Shu approached, the car door opened automatically, and a tall man stepped out. Judging from the medals on his shoulders, he seemed to hold a fairly high military rank.
He gave a solemn salute before saying, "Miss Luo, hello."
He didn't have much else, and Luo Shu understood. She nodded to him and said, "Let's go, I've got my things."
"Okay, this matter is indeed a bit urgent, so I had no choice but to come to the school to find you."
Upon arriving at the Federal Experimental Base, Professor Wang and several other master pharmacists were waiting for them. Since this drug was developed by Luo Shu, and now that a special situation had arisen, it was natural to discuss it with her.
"Teacher, what exactly happened?"
Luo Shu had just learned that someone had taken the Rebirth pill, which triggered a mental disturbance.
"Come with us and take a look."
The group walked to the outside of an observation room, where an alpha was experiencing a mental outburst, that is, going through a so-called berserk phase. There were also several officers guarding outside, who were probably their superiors.
"Dear apothecaries, our team suffered mental damage while fighting the Zerg on the battlefield. Why did his berserk phase start earlier after using your potion?"
One of the soldiers had a flushed face and bloodshot eyes. They must have just come from the battlefield, still carrying the scent of blood and gunpowder. Their mental energy was also somewhat out of control, and this outward release of mental energy made Professor Wang and the others feel uncomfortable.
"I'll go in and take a look."
Before Professor Wang could say anything more, the sergeant next to him opened the door, clearly indicating that he wanted Luo Shu to go in directly.
Luo Shu remained unfazed. This alpha's mental strength was only A-, and she could completely suppress him.
Upon entering the ward, a strong alpha pheromone emanated from the room. This alpha's pheromones actually smelled of fresh oranges. Looking at the robust alpha on the bed, who was trying his best to suppress the surge of his mental energy, veins bulged on his face, making him look quite terrifying.
Luo Shu took a vial of fresh blood and injected it into his wrist. The man's limbs were firmly fastened to the bed, making it easier for Luo Shu to move around.
Then, using her mental power, she guided the other person's chaotic mental energy to absorb the medicine. After repeating this process several times, the face on the bed calmed down, and after a few cycles, the person was able to absorb the medicine on their own. Only then did Luo Shu leave the ward.
The professors and sergeants outside were relieved to see that the person inside was showing signs of improvement.
"Why didn't you guide him to absorb new blood? Instead, you injected him directly."
Luo Shu looked at the group of people in front of her with a serious expression. Professor Wang was also confused. He had been hurriedly summoned here and arrived almost at the same time as Luo Shu.
The two sergeants' faces turned bright red, both feeling embarrassed. They had been reckless. In the past, the medicine could be taken directly, but they didn't expect this one to be so complicated. Their situation was critical at the time, and when they heard about this miraculous medicine, they didn't think much and gave it to their superior, almost causing a major disaster.
"It was our mistake, and we've taken up your time. I will report our error to my superiors. We are very sorry."
As they spoke, the two sergeants bowed to them, their faces showing deep remorse.
Luo Shu didn't say much, gave them a few more instructions, and then left with Professor Wang and the others.
In the evening, the man who had been lying down woke up, and Luo Shu came with several professors for a follow-up appointment.
The man lying down was named Zheng Ke. He was an excellent mecha warrior and a decorated officer. At this moment, when he looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, he recalled the spiritual power he felt during the riot, and his heart pounded like a drum. His face also flushed, but fortunately, his skin was dark, so it was not very noticeable.
"Lieutenant Zheng, we need to retest your mental strength level."
"good."
Zheng input his mental energy into the instrument, which is currently the most advanced mental energy testing instrument, with a maximum limit of SS.
As soon as Zheng Ke input his mental energy, the red line representing his level kept rising until it reached level A, which meant that his mental energy had increased to level A.
Previously, he was only at the A- level. It would be an exaggeration to say that increasing his mental strength to B level or above was extremely difficult. However, he actually jumped a major level in one go. Even someone as calm as Zheng Ke couldn't help but get excited, and his face was full of excitement.
Everyone around was very happy; this was a very successful case.
Luo Shu adjusted her glasses, her silver hair swaying gently with the movement. Her pale pink lips parted slightly as she said, "Don't get too excited. He's an exception. His spiritual power is profound, and he was already on the verge of advancing. The new student only helped him shorten the time it took to advance. If others used it, it might only increase their strength to a certain extent, but they might not necessarily be able to advance."
Zheng Ke gave Luo Shu a deep look. Advancing in mental power is extremely difficult. The time Luo Shu mentioned for advancement could be a month, a year, or even a lifetime.
This potion can actually accelerate the advancement of mental power; it's simply a miracle.
Moreover, his mental turmoil was also eliminated by the drug. This drug is likely to change the world order.
Later that evening, the commander-in-chief also learned about the matter. He made a special call to ask Luo Shu if she was interested in holding a press conference, and Luo Shu said yes.
The news that the federal government was holding a drug launch event caused a stir among the media and businesses. No pharmacist was influential enough to have the federal government back him up and hold a launch event for him.
But now, the Federation is telling everyone that I'm going to hold a drug launch event. Who wouldn't be confused by that?
Then, seats inside the press conference hall were extremely hard to come by, and anyone who received an invitation has been posting pictures of their invitation on social media these past few days—it's a symbol of status and prestige.
Several mainstream media outlets were invited, and the federal government stated that the press conference would be broadcast live.
The internet is buzzing with discussion, even the Empire is talking about it. In just two days we'll know what new drug the Federation has developed. Netizens are practically scratching their heads in anticipation. The Federation's massive investment is just too intriguing.
Mu Liuyun, who came to the Federation's main planet to look for Luo Shu, was disappointed. He waited at the Federation University for several days but did not see Luo Shu. Later, he asked around and learned that Luo Shu had entered the laboratory of a top expert because of her outstanding academic performance and had not attended classes for a long time.
Mu Liuyun felt a pang of sadness. Was she truly Ouyang Qian's beloved?
She's so good at studying. He's definitely not as good as her, but why is he so unwilling to accept it?
Mu Liuyun decided to stay in the Federation for a month. The management of omega schools is very lenient, especially after omegas reach adulthood. Many omegas are engaged and often need to take leave, so Mu Liuyun's situation is not an exception.
So Mu Liuyun settled down in the Federation, but Ouyang Qian's mood worsened day by day because of Mu Liuyun's departure, and he became increasingly irritable and easily angered.
On the training field, Ouyang Qian knocked down another student. The student limped off the field and plopped down on a chair, where several people whispered among themselves.
"Have you guys noticed that Ouyang's attacks have become increasingly violent lately?"
"Yeah, yeah, I feel like my bones are about to break."
"His temper is getting worse and worse."
"Was she dumped by that little omega?"
“I told him not to be so cold-hearted, and now look what happened, he's been abandoned.”
Everyone was chatting happily when suddenly they felt a chill run down their spines.
"Excuse me, I need to get something."
Ouyang Qian's voice was icy cold, and his face was dark and gloomy. The group of people who were talking happily all shrank back, looked at each other, and then quickly made way for him.
Ouyang Qian picked up his bag and left the training room without looking back.
Why?
Mu Liuyun left, and he felt so suffocated, as if he couldn't breathe.
I feel so bad.
