The detailed inspection took a long time, and everyone waited for several hours to get the results.
Zhuang Yu’s expression was dignified yet full of grief. After sending the results to them, she said, “Out of five people, the most serious is the oldest patient. He no longer has a clear and complete consciousness, and his body is very weak. His external response is also the most dull, and his spiritual strength is almost disappearing. “
The disappearance of spiritual power can occur in two situations. One is when the spiritual sea is injured, leading to a gradual decline in spiritual power. The worst outcome is becoming a “disabled” person without spiritual power. The other situation is when spiritual power slowly dissipates with the passage of life. The more weakened the body, the faster the dissipation of spiritual power, until it completely disappears, resulting in the death of the individual.
The old patient’s body was very weak, and his spiritual strength was almost disappearing. Coupled with Zhuang Yu’s unpleasant expression, everyone instantly understood that the oldest patient was running out of time.
Qiao Zhiya’s ears flattened. Although he didn’t know who the old patient was, he still felt very sad.
Chu Rong raised his hand and patted his head, looking at Zhuang Yu to signal her to continue.
“The patient with the mildest symptoms is a young man with the highest level of spiritual strength and the best physical fitness among the five. He said his name is Eddie, 25 years old this year, and he has a B-level spiritual power. After our emergency treatment, his consciousness has been restored. However, his spiritual strength is still somewhat unstable, and this needs to be treated slowly. “
Zhuang Yu flipped through the inspection data and presented some of the recorded information to them. She continued, “I took some time to inquire about his background. It seems he comes from a family that has been slaves to a certain imperial noble lineage for generations. His parents, upon seeing his high spiritual power level, wanted to help him break free from their slave status. His master was also lenient. Upon learning about his desires, the master paved the way for him to attend school, with the condition that he could be emancipated and become a regular person once he achieved merits. However, a few years ago, his master was suddenly slandered and imprisoned, leading to his death. His educational path was cut off, and along with his family, he was sent back to the slave market. Later, he was bought and sent to the Yun family, where he has been working on a planet that the Yun family owns. This is the first time he has come out in all these years.”
“How many times has he taken the drug?” Chu Rong asked.
“One time,” Zhuang Yu replied, adding, “Each of them only drank it once, but Eddie was smarter. When they were arranged to drink the drug, Eddie tricked them. He only drank a little, while the rest was poured out into his sleeves. He also pretended to have a confused mental state as he ‘accidentally’ spilled the drug.”
Fan Xiangnan, who had been watching, suddenly asked, “If Eddie was bought for the Yun family, who bought him? The slaves from the Empire are forbidden to be traded in the Federation.”
Chu Rong had thought of this problem when he learned that the identity of the testers were Imperial slaves. Hearing this, he reminded, “A woman from the Ning family married an Imperial prince.”
He never believed that the Ning family’s daughter who was married off to the Empire really had no connection with her natal family. In recent years, the Ning family has been pretending to be low-key and neutral, free from the struggle of the rest of the big families, and always shows an indisputable attitude to the outside world. Harmless appearance, never involved with their wayward daughter… however, was that the truth?
As soon as the president’s election arrived, as soon as the old Emperor had a problem, the Ning family began to make small moves and reconnected with the Empire.
Considering the dynamics of the previous changes in the Federal situation and including the Ning family’s role in the play, the Empire arranging students to come for education, the sudden deterioration of the old Emperor’s health, and the increasingly inappropriate behavior of the President… they might all be caused by the Ning family, the true shadow mastermind behind the scene.
As Chu Rong’s thoughts wandered further, the long ears covered by his hand suddenly twitched. Chu Rong snapped back to reality, glanced at the still unenthusiastic Qiao Zhiya. He pinched his ears again, then waved his hand to signal Zhuang Yu to continue.
Zhuang Yu saw them finish talking and continued her report. “Furthermore, Qiao’s previous guess was correct. There are indeed two semi-finished products, which become one finished product when combined. Among these five people, the old man and the woman drank the semi-finished product Qiao brought back. Eddie probably drank the finished product, which had a less intense effect. The remaining two drank another type of the semi-finished product. Therefore, the situations of these individuals need to be analyzed separately.”
As she spoke, she projected the three sets of inspection results into the air and explained them in detail, “The aftereffects of the semi-finished drug that the old man and the woman drank are the most severe, and the effects are also the most significant. In other words, their spiritual power experienced a rapid surge within a short period after drinking the drug. Next is Eddie; he drank too little of the drug, so we can’t deduce its effects. However, he specifically emphasized that he couldn’t forget about this drug for several days after drinking it. I speculate that the finished product weakened the effect of spiritual power boosting, but its addictive properties were enhanced. The situations of the other two people are completely opposite to those of the old man and the woman. They showed no reaction in spiritual power after drinking the potion, and there was no addiction. However, their consciousness became the most chaotic – they also experienced severe memory issues.”
Memory issues?
Chu Rong frowned, and looked at Qiao Zhiya next to him, feeling unhappy. If the Ning family did secretly perform human experiments, would those in Qiao Zhiya’s memory also be related to the Ning family?
If it really was…
Qiao Zhiya noticed that Chu Rong’s breathing pattern suddenly became a lot heavier. His glance darted over him, while he tilted his head, nuzzling into the taller man’s palm in an attempt to soothe his chaotic mind.
Chu Rong noticed this. He looked back, his expression eased, and he stretched out his arms to embrace the youth as a means to calm himself.
When talking about the matter, Chu Rong never made any intimate moves in front of him. But now, Qiao Zhiya was hugged. Seeing Zhuang Yu and Fan Xiangnan had no special response to this, he only hesitated a bit before leaning in obediently.
‘Maybe Chu Rong was in a bad mood…’ He thought about it, and then appeased Chu Rong by nuzzling his chest.
In Chu Rong’s mind, Qiao Zhiya’s action was caused by his fear over the report. He tightened his hold.
The two men appeased each other in misunderstanding, while Zhuang Yu talked to Fan Xiangnan over other topics.
“The Ning family is mixing drugs like this to create a situation where those with low spiritual power will experience a significant increase after drinking, while those with high spiritual power will experience only a slight enhancement, and some may even have no effect?” Fan Xiangnan frowned as he speculated.
Zhuang Yu nodded. She explained her thoughts about this matter: “This is called the sample effect. The purpose is to pave the way for the situation where ‘some people’ will drink the drug publicly after it is officially sold, but it will have no effect. The Ning family never intended to actually sell these semi-finished products from the beginning. They just wanted to use them as a spectacle to suppress the popularity of our Stone Grass Potion. The drugs they plan to sell later are all fake, but ultimately, harmless.”
With this in mind, Fan Xiangnan had another speculation: “If it weren’t for the Chief’s plan to promote the Stone Grass Potion, which posed a threat to the Ning family’s position in the pharmaceutical industry, the Ning family probably wouldn’t have exposed these drugs so carelessly like that. Therefore, the Ning family didn’t make these drugs for profit’s sake – they must have another purpose…”
“For human experiments.” Zhuang Yu continued with a stern expression, flipping the projection to the next page. She glanced at Chu Rong, who no longer held Qiao Zhiya so tightly in his arms, before continuing, “Now, we can confirm that the finished drugs cause addiction and gradual spiritual confusion. These are means used to control the subjects during human experiments. In addition, based on the temporary increase in spiritual power, I speculate that the Ning family is conducting human research related to spiritual power. These slaves bought by the Empire are just ‘reserve provisions’ for them.”
Chu Rong did not expect that the final inference actually pointed directly at human experiments. His hands covered Qiao Zhiya’s ears reflexively, not wanting him to hear such dark sides of humanity.
Qiao Zhiya looked up at him in confusion, ears perking up.
Chu Rong frowned, slowly released his hand, touched his head, and said, “Give them treatment first, I’ll send someone to investigate the Ning family.”
Zhuang Yu nodded and turned off the holographic projection.
“I’m here to help, too.” Qiao Zhiya suddenly jumped out of his arms and said, “The three drug combinations have different effects, so they also need different – and probably targeted – treatment. I can try to give them some of my new calming potions.”
Once Zhuang Yu heard this, her expression relaxed a little. With a hopeful smile on her face, she said, “It’s great that you can help. Because of the soothing potions you made in advance, the old man with the worst condition can survive. Otherwise…”
The atmosphere fell again. Chu Rong squeezed Qiao Zhiya’s ears again, acquiescing his help for his matter.
The crowds separated, as everyone was busy with their own work. As for Qiao Zhiya, he went to his lab.
Soon, the Ning family realized they were targeted. First, their spies in various Federal departments suddenly were involved in scandals or had their mistakes exposed. They were gradually replaced one after another. At the same time, all the drugs they had submitted for approval were withheld, and they couldn’t obtain the authorization to sell. All their business activities were restricted in various aspects.
On the other hand, the Gu family that has only been developing outside of the Capital Planet suddenly announced that they would participate in the Capital Planet’s market. The first thing to do was to buy a building opposite the Ning family’s Pharmacy City and open their own Pharmacy City. At the same time, they put a lot of cheap basic medicines on the shelves, one of which was a popular medicine they sold during the festival.
In addition, when the Gu family sold drugs, they deliberately projected the sales permit and testing certificates next to them, ensuring that the public could buy with ease and confidence. This move seemed like a deliberate mockery of the Ning family’s previous sale of unauthorized drugs.
In government affairs, Chu Huai also began to challenge Ning Tianya. He openly opposed the proposals put forward by Ning Tianya, repeatedly arguing against him. He called for the revival of basic medicine, emphasizing that drugs are just a tool for licensed healthcare experts to treat diseases. They are not a cure-all, and the health of the entire Federation should not be entrusted to these fixed-effect drugs. He criticized the overly mythical status of the Ning family’s promotions.
Beyond the Capital Planet, the Gu family began to cooperate with Chu Huai, and first raised the banner of reviving basic medicine.
A medical revolution was in sight, and the Ning family, which once represented “good health and good medicine”, was the object that needed to be changed.
