Chapter 152 A Pear Tree Overshadows a Crabapple Tree [6500-Word Chapter, Please Subscribe]



The return to Cheung Ying Island was exciting, but the mood wasn't quite as high.

Even after developing a new ability like X-ray vision, he wasn't particularly excited.

This trip to South Vietnam left him with many thoughts and feelings.

September 24th, Cheung Ying Island, sunny;

I went to Southern Vietnam with Lillian and the others, and some bad things happened during the trip. I witnessed many human tragedies...

Is power really that tempting?

Is immortality truly humanity's ultimate pursuit?

With such advanced gene therapy, why can't your Dort family do anything?

If pathogenic factors can specifically block certain neurons, why can't we develop drugs that target other genetic diseases?

I can earn money myself and gain a good reputation. Isn't that better than being a bunch of inhuman, wretched vampires?

Thinking about this, Gao Ang felt that the phrase "neither human nor ghost" seemed inappropriate.

Judging from the current situation, Lillian is living a very comfortable life.

She has a perfect figure, superhuman physical abilities, and a large following...

But he always felt that things were not that simple. If he could think of it, how could those old families not?

Or perhaps they have their own difficulties?

Gao Ang is not trying to whitewash vampires, but rather considering the issue from a dialectical perspective.

The ending of the Qushui Lake base was relatively perfect;

All the animals received medical treatment, and the individuals who voluntarily participated in the experiments were repatriated.

The Dort family paid a hefty sum to avoid disaster, and the Qushuihu base is likely to become history.

A new ability has been developed: X-ray vision;

The so-called perspective is not the kind of perspective seen in movies. Instead, it is the superposition of atomic trajectories and sound wave pictographs within the full force field, combined with various nerves in my body, to create a false image in the visual, auditory, and even olfactory systems, but with a real effect.

This perspective ignores all obstacles; as long as one is within the full force field, nothing can be hidden from view.

However, this is limited to the limits of hearing; certain images beyond this range may become silent films…

Lillian, that wicked woman, went to the Mountain Kingdom to take over some Base 7.

I didn't intend to press her for answers. Letting her go and cause trouble for the mountain people is fine too; they're all bad news anyway, it'll just be dogs fighting and ending up with nothing.

Gao Yang, who hadn't rested for almost a day and a night, was really quite tired.

Not only was he physically exhausted, but the mental shock also left him mentally drained.

Rescuing those animals and people took a considerable amount of his unknown energy.

He had to meticulously calculate the trajectory of each person's movement, ensuring they wouldn't notice anything amiss, guaranteeing their safety, and maintaining the efficiency of the spatial collapse.

It's quite difficult to get them to sense the outside world in a moment of distraction.

Lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, I sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, do you think the Dort family will continue their experiment?"

"Definitely, sir. According to your analysis, they must have been conducting these experiments for a very long time, perhaps even longer than the Industrial Revolution. An operation that has lasted for so long cannot be stopped just because of the decommissioning of the Qushui Lake base. Wasn't Lillian sent to the Mountain Kingdom? The base there is numbered 7. I'm sure they have many more such bases scattered in every corner of the world."

Gao Ang understood what Qian Sui was saying, but he just didn't want to think about things in such a pessimistic way.

However, reality can be cruel sometimes; the more you try to make it seem bad, the more likely it is to happen.

"Have you tracked down the person who called Lillian?"

"without."

"I knew it would be like this..." He turned over, lying half-prone on the bed, feeling listless but unable to fall asleep.

"Sir, are you worried that someone else will suffer?"

Gao Ang didn't say anything, but his breathing became a little heavier.

He is now confused and helpless again.

What puzzles him is how to stop the Dort family, the Green Rabbit organization, and even some other evil organizations from doing stupid things.

He even wondered, somewhat bewildered, whether he should try to stop it.

If he doesn't know, that's fine. Just pretend you're a naive and innocent person and honestly live your carefree superhuman life.

Making inventions, generating some income, improving the lives of one's family, and making life more convenient for fellow countrymen—wouldn't that be wonderful?

But now he knows, and he has actually seen it.

If we don't stop it, even more people will suffer; but how can we stop it?

Kill Lillian?

There will be another Lillian, another Lillie...

One Qushui Lake base and another Base 7 were destroyed...

"I'm thinking about how to break this deadlock."

"Why break the deadlock? We can remain still and wait for them to make their move, then we can counter it accordingly. The experiments conducted by the Dort family don't necessarily mean they want to create some kind of new human. Based on the progress of their experiments at Qushui Lake, they could have easily formed a considerable armed force, but they haven't. This shows that their pursuit is not hegemony in the traditional sense."

“You’re wrong,” Gao Ang interrupted Qian Sui. “The current hegemony isn’t something that can be resolved by force. What if they want to use these genetic technologies to control the most elite group of people? Have you forgotten what Robert said about the ‘longevity project’?”

Chisui fell silent. He hadn't forgotten this, but he just wanted to comfort his master and tell him not to be too negative.

"Furthermore, Lillian said she wants to make Xia Weiwei a member of the Dort family in order to plant a thorn in the side of Bureau 303. Do you still think they are not aggressive?"

At this point, Gao Ang suddenly remembered something the person who was on the phone with Lillian had said. It seemed to be that Xia Weiwei was the daughter of a veteran of Bureau 303.

Does that mean that old Mr. Xia, together with others, established Bureau 303?

"Your Majesty, please check when Bureau 303 was established."

Gao Yang rolled over and sat up straight in bed.

"Sir, there is no information about Bureau 303 on the public network. It is a non-existent organization."

“That’s right. Such a special department probably doesn’t have any official records. Even internally, they probably don’t store this information.”

Gao Ang lay down again.

"Sir, please don't dwell on this issue anymore. As I said before, we should deal with whatever comes our way. I think you should go out for a walk, relax, or maybe even find someone to date. After all, the old man really wants to hold his great-grandson."

She rolled her eyes at Qian Sui and said, "What's the point of dating? Even if we did date, what difference would it make? Don't you know that the stronger a person's physical condition, the weaker their reproductive ability?"

However, what Emperor Qian Sui said is true: when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.

Moreover, the old man said something similar: as long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough.

He has abilities, including superpowers, but he also has his own considerations.

"Keep an eye on what's happening in the Mountain Kingdom and the Sand Kingdom. I need to go out and relax."

Unfortunately, after searching through his contacts, Gao Ang couldn't find anyone he could hang out with.

Kim Jong-un?

He's a big boss now, and shipping is gradually recovering; he's probably extremely busy.

Old Wan?

Hmm... forget it, this woman has ulterior motives towards him.

Senior Brother Cao Kun?

No, it's best to avoid dealing with them.

Yang Kai?

That's a good idea. The finals of "Street Dance" are coming up soon, so maybe they've already rehearsed up to the final stage.

After sending the message, I received a reply from Yang Kai shortly afterward.

Gao Ang briefly mentioned his desire to see the event live, and they immediately sent him an invitation:

"I prepared it for you a long time ago, I was just afraid you wouldn't come."

After the last competition in Harbin, all the participants were given a warning by Fatty Kim.

They all knew that Gao Feng didn't want too much exposure, so they didn't dare to invite him to watch the finals.

"...Time is so tight, tonight?"

"Yeah, it's going to air next week. After the rehearsals these next two days, we can have a holiday. Eight days of National Day fun!"

It's clear that Yang Kai is very happy. In any case, he's now one of the top four contestants. Whether he wins the championship or not doesn't matter; he's already very happy to have come this far.

"OK, the usual place, shall we?"

"The usual place."

Having agreed on a time, Gao Ang rolled over and fell asleep.

The constant tension and relaxation would be too much for even a superhuman like him, let alone someone who hasn't fully evolved yet.

I slept straight through until noon, only to be woken up by Xiaohua.

"Meow." This cat is hungry, human, hurry up and make me some food.

After resting with his eyes closed for a while, Gao Ang managed to suppress his morning grumpiness and avoid knocking Xiao Hua to the ground.

"I'll teach you to cause trouble..."

With a swift movement, he grabbed Xiaohua and began to roughly knead and rub her.

"Meow." Damn it, if you pet me again, I'll get angry ┗|`O′|┛ Aww~~.

Seeing Xiaohua's exposed cat paws, Gao Ang chickened out. "Ahem, get lost. I'll make you something to eat after I wash up."

Go out to sea to catch fish, then serve it with two plates of green vegetables, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, plus an egg drop soup—it's delicious!

After the meal, Gao Ang left the three brothers and Xiao Hua on the island and drove the motorboat to Changming Island alone.

"Mr. Gao, are you heading out?"

Section Chief Zhang from the Health Bureau came to greet us.

Gao Ang disliked being called "General Manager" by people within the system, so Section Chief Zhang called him "Mr."

"Yes, let's go see a competition. Section Chief Zhang, are you free? We can come together and see what we young people are doing."

After parking the jet ski, Gao Ang jumped ashore.

"I'm not going. I'm too old to go anymore."

Section Chief Zhang quickly waved his hand, saying that the other person was just being polite, and besides, he really wasn't interested.

The two discussed the project schedule for a while, and it was basically still the same as before. Even if they rushed it, it wouldn't be shortened by much.

"Then I'll have to trouble Section Chief Zhang, who's been working here all day in the wind and sun."

"Of course. By the way, Mr. Gao, have you... invented anything new lately?"

Section Chief Zhang lowered his voice, leaned over, and asked mysteriously.

New stuff... These people really think he's an inventor.

If you stay on the island for three days without going out, you'll find new creatures when you do.

Then wouldn't he be a god...?

“Uh…” Gao Ang was about to say no, but then he suddenly remembered the data he had found at the Qushui Lake base. “Now that you mention it, I remember. There really is such a thing.”

"oh?"

When Section Chief Zhang heard the words "There really is," his eyebrows twitched. "Tell me quickly, can it be mass-produced? In what area?"

ROG is good, but with only one product, it can't support the scale of Dongsheng Health.

According to the bureau's plan, Dongsheng Health is going to go public and make a name for itself, gaining a foothold in the international market.

"Ideally, it should be something related to traditional Chinese medicine. You know, the debate between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine has always been a problem. We're not going to say which is better or worse, but the higher-ups really value traditional Chinese medicine. Your ROG is a great product. It's already been included in the category of traditional Chinese medicine. Although the name is an abbreviation of a foreign word, it doesn't matter. We're planning to give it some packaging and call it 'White Jade Broken Heart Plaster.' What do you think?"

Section Chief Zhang talked on and on, giving Gao Ang no chance to interject.

"Um, ROG is included in the category of traditional Chinese medicine... is that alright? It wasn't originally created by Western medicine."

The high price is irrelevant. On the other hand, ROG was derived from the second and third generation of ROG products, and it's similar to things like bezoar and dog gallstones. Calling it a traditional Chinese medicine... isn't wrong.

"But your name... 'White Jade Broken Heart Ointment,' are you sure you're not joking? Aren't you afraid of being sued?"

He had heard of the Black Jade Broken Heart Ointment; wasn't that something from "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber"?

He always felt a little strange about blatant plagiarism.

"It's alright, we've already made arrangements, there won't be any legal disputes. The higher-ups originally planned to use 'Black Jade Broken Skin Cream,' but our ROG products are white, which doesn't match the black, so we can only use 'White Jade Broken Skin Cream.'"

Section Chief Zhang explained for a moment, then asked, "Tell me about the new product, in what area?"

"Ahem, if it's a new product, it can't be categorized under traditional Chinese medicine. I'm using gene therapy, or rather, neurotherapy, something like that. You should understand."

"I understand, I understand, but you haven't specified which aspect yet?"

Section Chief Zhang became anxious.

"Ahem," Gao Ang was a little embarrassed. To be honest, he hadn't originally planned to talk about this, but Section Chief Zhang kept pressing him, so he had no choice but to tell the truth:

"Men's..."

After saying that, he looked up at the sky, feeling extremely embarrassed.

He's such a young, model citizen, why is he doing this kind of thing? What's the point?

So young and already failing?

Although people may not ask this question, they may think this way.

Section Chief Zhang was taken aback. "Men..." He then realized what was going on, gave a knowing look that all men would understand, and said meaningfully, "This is a good thing. It will definitely fetch a lot of money."

That look made Gao Ang very embarrassed, and he quickly explained, "No, don't overthink it. I'm perfectly normal. I was just researching gene fragments and accidentally got involved in that area, and then I ended up with this thing. And you're still laughing?"

Section Chief Zhang suppressed a laugh but couldn't help glancing at him a few more times, which made him quite angry.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh," Section Chief Zhang immediately became serious, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips. "To be honest, this stuff really has a market. A while ago, a listed company released some data saying that there are at least 100 million adult men in the world... you know what I mean, so this drug is definitely going to sell like hotcakes. By the way, what stage are we at?"

"What stage can it reach? Why don't you give it a try?"

Gao'an just copied it from someone else, so theoretically there's nothing wrong with it.

Moreover, those people's bodies showed no abnormalities.

Most importantly, he can use his full power field to further optimize those things.

Section Chief Zhang glanced around and, seeing no one, whispered, "Do you have any finished products? I'll take them back and find someone to do some clinical trials."

Looking for someone?

Could it be that you wanted to experience it yourself?

Gao Ang looked at him suspiciously. "It's not finished yet, it's all in its most primitive form. Do you want to give it a try?"

"I won't try. I'm perfectly healthy, in great shape!"

Patting his chest, Section Chief Zhang shook his head and refused.

Looking at the time, it was still early. Gao Ang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, wait for me a while, I'll go get you some."

"Hey, I told you, it's not for me to use, I'm taking it back for clinical trials..."

“I know, it’s not you using it,” Gao Feng waved his hand and got back onto the motorboat. “Then who is using it?”

"you……"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

...

Back on Changying Island, Gao Ang called upon the three Qian Sui brothers to begin synthesizing a new drug.

The specific synthesis steps were all in his mind, and he also shared them with Qian Sui.

It's not difficult to make, but it needs to be appraised and refined again.

"Chisui, retrieve the individual's physical data."

"At 100 years old, analyze the composition of those pathological factors."

"At the age of ten, I consulted relevant information about the Qushui Lake base and compiled initial data that allowed for mass production."

The three procedures were carried out in an orderly manner, while he himself worked with Bai Sui, the second son, to carefully observe the entangled structure of the disease factors.

The term "pathogenic factor" is actually just a way of referring to it in relation to other healthy factors within the human body.

Anything that is not human can be considered a pathogenic factor, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.

Just like bacteria and fungi, many other fungi exist in the human body.

Some of these bacteria and fungi are also very beneficial to the human body.

"Sir, the body scan is complete, the data analysis is finished, all organs are functioning normally, and no suspicious conditions have been found."

"The analysis of the pathogenic factors has been completed. The main elements include: C, H, O, N, P, etc., and the structure is similar to that of a virus."

"The mass production data is complete, sir. Shouldn't we make some changes? Otherwise, once this product is on the market, won't people find out in no time that we stole their data?"

The ten-year-old, the third child, waved the printed document in his hand and made a suggestion.

"Of course it needs to be changed. You've thought of that, how could I not have?"

After giving a ten-year-old a gentle pat on the head, Gao Ang began to ponder how to modify the quantification process and how to improve this antiviral drug.

"Your Excellency, go to the health bureaus of various countries and check if there are any examples of this virus. No matter what, this thing is a virus, and we have to make sure that there are no mistakes, otherwise it will be a big problem."

"Sir, we have already compared the cases, and there are only similar cases in England."

The Emperor is still as efficient as ever.

"And then what happened?"

He didn't stop moving around the field, displaying great energy and multitasking.

"Everything is normal, there are no aftereffects, it's just..."

Chitose hesitated, appearing indecisive.

“Speak up, what are you being so hesitant about?”

"It's nothing, it's just... that couple eventually divorced, and the guy went to Japan to make adult films..."

Gao Ang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cried at the same time, "You can get a divorce like this?"

"Didn't British medical institutions detect anything unusual about this virus?"

"The record was deleted, and I only managed to find a match by looking up some reports from 28 years ago."

"How is the man now? Are there any abnormalities in his medical records?"

"There's something wrong, kidney failure... He's abstaining from women now."

Hahahaha.

Gao Ang almost died laughing. "This is the consequence of not understanding science!"

The danger in that place wasn't due to that person's constitution, but rather the virus.

The virus parasitizes neurons in a certain area, then multiplies, making the neurons in that area thicker and less sensitive.

However, that doesn't mean his kidneys can withstand his unrestrained ejaculation...

It took Gao Ang three hours to revise the data he obtained from the Qushui Lake base and improve the activity of the delayed virus.

The characteristics of a virus are determined by its cell membrane, spikes, and capsid; therefore, improvements to delay viruses should also be made by addressing these three aspects.

Modifying just one point would be sufficient, but to be on the safe side, Gaogao made micro-modifications to all three aspects without compromising the virus's characteristics.

In this case, even if the Dort family extracts this new type of virus, they will not be able to determine that it is the same type as the one at the Qushui Lake base.

After repeated verification to ensure that there were no problems with the new virus, Gao Ang printed out a string of virus strains.

They sealed it in a test tube, took the instruction manual printed by the third brother, and returned to Changming Island.

"Here you go, the men's medication you requested, the relevant instructions are here."

After handing the test tube to Section Chief Zhang, Gao Ang went to get his car.

After hurriedly taking the test tube, Section Chief Zhang looked completely bewildered. "That's it?"

"Actually, it's not a gene therapy drug, it's a benign virus that shouldn't be harmful to humans. As for cultivating it, you shouldn't have any problems, right?"

Leaning against the car door, Gao Feng asked a question.

“The training isn’t the problem; the problem is, shouldn’t we sign a contract or something?”

"What's the point of signing this?" Gao Ang waved his hand dismissively. "This thing is useless, just a worthless junk. You guys can take it and play with it."

I closed the car door, intending to drift away.

"Hey, you still haven't told me your name?"

As the inventor, Gao Feng should rightfully have the right to name it.

"Let's call it 'Pear Blossom Cream'."

The loud voice drifted further and further away, leaving Section Chief Zhang, who was standing still, looking bewildered. "A pear tree in full bloom overshadowing a crabapple tree?"

With the pear blossom ointment in hand, Section Chief Zhang was too lazy to stay here and supervise the work any longer. He hurriedly got into his car and headed straight for the high-speed rail station.

He needs to hurry back to Kyoto to conduct clinical trials on the pear blossom ointment. If it really works, it could potentially make more money than ROG...

As for the contract issue, he never intended to be clever and steal the pear blossom ointment patent.

That's just asking for trouble.

They said it's just a small trinket, which means they have something even better.

There's no need to miss out on a bigger pie for a small trinket, even though the market value of this trinket might exceed 10 billion gold...

Upon arriving at the recording site of "Street Dance of China," Yang Kai was greeted not only by his old friends but also by the head of the props department.

The man grabbed Gao's hand and shook it vigorously, saying, "Mr. Gao, thank you so much."

Thank me?

Why?

Gao Ang looked completely bewildered. "Wait, what's going on?"

Yang Kai came to his rescue. The reason was simple: last time, he had concocted a fire out of thin air and fooled the other person.

As it turns out, this director was quite perceptive and actually thought it was practically applicable.

I explored and researched on my own, and even bought a lot of other props.

And you know what? He actually managed to get it working, and the results were pretty good.

This works?

Gao Ang awkwardly accepted the person's thanks. What could he do but tell them directly: "I'm Superman, I have a power field, I was just kidding you?"

"Brother Gao, just use that QR code to enter. I have to go to rehearsal now. See you later."

Yang Kai waved his hand and went to warm up first.

Tickets checked, entry, the match begins.

As he watched, Yang Kai's high brows furrowed. Something was wrong; this ultimate battle was taking a huge toll on him.

The round of 8 to 4 was alright, it was a group show, and Yang Kai was able to withstand the strain.

In the semi-finals, it was a one-on-one battle, and his opponent was the veteran Boubou.

"It seems I have no choice but to help you out."
