Chapter 158 Let the storm rage on!
Gu Baobao directly clicked on the Advanced Medical Technology section.
The dazzling array of products refreshed, and the prices at the end made her gasp.
[Cell-level tissue regeneration inducing factor (preliminary) technology concept: 8000 merit points are required for exchange.]
Note: This is a fundamental theoretical direction, far removed from practical applications, but it can provide disruptive inspiration for tissue engineering research.
[Broad-spectrum anti-drug-resistant bacteria herbal composite screening model: Requires 5000 merits to redeem.]
Note: This study provides a screening approach based on traditional Chinese medicine theory combined with modern pharmacology, which can significantly improve the efficiency of discovering novel antibacterial compounds.
【Cardiovascular System Homeostasis Comprehensive Conditioning Plan (Enhanced Version): Requires 3000 Merit Points to redeem】
Note: This approach incorporates acupuncture, medicinal diets, and guided exercises, and has the potential to fundamentally improve chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease and hypertension.
...
As Gu Baobao looked at them one by one, her heart raced.
Any one of these items, if taken out, would cause a stir in the medical community.
But the price is truly astonishing.
She exited and then looked at the special skills and auxiliary items section.
[Crisis Intuition (Intermediate): Passive skill upgrade. Sensing range expanded to 30 meters, making malice prediction more accurate. Requires 2000 Merit Points to redeem.]
[Language Proficiency (Beginner): Passive skill. Allows for seamless listening, speaking, reading, and writing of three designated Earth languages (additional designation required). Requires 1500 Merit Points to redeem.]
Miniature Emergency SOS/Location Beacon (Disposable):
After activation, it can send encrypted location signals to a designated receiver, with an effective range of 50 kilometers and a duration of 72 hours. Redemption requires 800 merit points.
Gu Baobao was dazzled by the sights and her mind raced with calculations.
Ten thousand merit points may seem like a lot, but if you really want to exchange them for top-tier technologies, it's only enough to get one or two.
Moreover, many technical ideas, once developed, require a significant amount of time and resources to research and implement; they are not immediately usable.
She needs to weigh the pros and cons.
The most important thing right now is to get through the exhibition safely and to secure as many benefits as possible for the country.
【Defu,】
She pondered for a moment,
What do you think I need to exchange for most right now? I need to consider both security and future development.
The system's Defu rarely gets serious:
[Host, based on the current situation, the following suggestions are made: 1. Crisis Intuition (Intermediate): Safety is paramount. Su Xiaoyu and Lavoisier are watching closely, and the exhibition is crowded and chaotic; improving early warning capabilities is crucial.]
2. Quick-acting hangover/sedative formula: For those who cannot avoid social events at trade shows, this can be used for self-defense.
3. Reserve at least 3000-4000 merit points in advance to deal with possible emergencies or to exchange for life-saving items in critical moments.
Gu Baobao thought for a moment and nodded.
DeFu's analysis is very insightful. The technology is excellent, but the prerequisite is having the life to study it.
[Then let's exchange for the Crisis Intuition (Intermediate) and the recipes for Quick-Acting Hangover Relief/Sedative Pills first.]
She made the decision.
[Ding! Exchange successful! 2300 merit points deducted! Current balance: 8991 points.]
The skill has been activated; the recipe and related medicinal seed have been stored in the spatial warehouse.
A faint warm current flowed into her consciousness, and Gu Baobao felt that her senses seemed to have become more acute, and her perception of the surrounding environment was much clearer.
The recipe and preparation method for the hangover pills were also clearly imprinted in my mind.
She checked the space warehouse and found several packets of corresponding medicinal herb seeds, which could be quickly planted and harvested in the space.
After finishing these tasks, Gu Baobao didn't linger in the space. She was afraid Lu Zhanming might suddenly return.
After exiting the space, she sat at her desk, took out her notebook, and pretended to organize today's data, but in her mind she was still figuring out how to use the remaining merit points.
A little over eight thousand, not a lot, but not a little either.
Perhaps... we could switch to something that could immediately enhance our self-defense capabilities?
Just as she was pondering, there was a gentle knock on the door—three long knocks followed by two short ones—the pre-arranged signal from Lu Zhanming.
Gu Baobao breathed a sigh of relief and got up to open the door.
Lu Zhanming slipped in, locked the door behind him, and looked somewhat serious.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Baobao's heart tightened.
"News has come from the embassy,"
Lu Zhanming lowered his voice.
"Based on the characteristics we provided, they used some connections to investigate Lavoisier."
His background is far from simple; on the surface, he's the owner of several trading companies.
But behind the scenes, he has ties to several international pharmaceutical oligarchs and even certain intelligence agencies.
His laboratory had been involved in several scandals involving technology theft and illegal human experimentation, but these were all covered up.
Gu Baobao's heart sank.
As for Su Xiaoyu,
Lu Zhanming continued,
"We can't find out how she got in touch with Lavoisier yet."
But she entered the country using a false identity, so someone must have been helping her. The embassy has already urgently notified the relevant authorities in China.
In other words,
Gu Baobao said slowly,
"What we're about to face may not just be a jealous, insane woman, but also a powerful, resourceful international force that's eyeing me and my technology."
"That's right."
Lu Zhanming grasped her hand firmly.
"Don't be afraid, baby. The embassy has increased security, and the domestic authorities are coordinating as well. I'll stay by your side at the exhibition tomorrow."
Just remember, your safety is always the top priority. Leave the rest to me and the country.
Looking into his resolute eyes, Gu Baobao felt her unease dissipate with a warm feeling.
She gripped his hand tightly in return and nodded.
Outside the window, the Parisian night deepened, neon lights flickered, and the Seine flowed quietly.
Beneath the seemingly romantic city, undercurrents are already surging.
The international pharmaceutical exhibition will officially open tomorrow.
Gu Baobao knew that her booth would inevitably become the center of the storm.
She touched the bottle of fast-acting hangover pills in her pocket, which had just been enhanced with spiritual spring water, and then felt the upgraded crisis warning ability in her mind.
bring it on.
Let the storm rage on.
In this life, she has medical skills, a system, a powerful motherland behind her, and... the man by her side who is willing to protect her with his life.
She was fearless.
