More and more patient families were waiting for the medicine to be listed.
Anywhere nearby that announced they would have the medicine available on time the next day saw families lining up as early as midnight.
Those who knew they could buy it online also logged into the official website early, eager to secure the medicine the moment it became available.
Of course, there were also those who waited with their phones in hand, anticipating updates from the official website while in line.
Despite all this, most people wore smiles. After all, what did that medicine represent?
It represented the lives of their children, friends, and family.
Epilepsy wasn't initially terrifying. What was terrifying were the after-effects that followed each episode.
As it was a neurological disease, once it manifested and left after-effects, the damage was irreversible.
Therefore, the sooner the medicine could be purchased and used, the better.
At 10 AM the next morning, all pharmacies and the official website simultaneously listed the drug.
And at the same moment, the official website's network completely crashed!
It was so overwhelmed that it brought down Sun Yue Research Institute's official website. However, even with this setback, some people had already managed to buy the medicine.
A stark contrast emerged: those who bought the medicine were overjoyed, while those who didn't and were told the website had crashed were in tears.
Although purchase limits were in place, they had ultimately underestimated the drug's importance.
After half an hour of adjustments, the official website was back up, but the available medicine was scarce.
Even more people, upon entering their case details, were a step too slow and missed out!
Sun Yue listened as the technician managing the official website reported, "Mr. Sun, all the medicine has been cleared. The official website is now flooded with comments requesting us to produce more of this medicine."
Sun Yue was greatly impressed. Although he was tech-savvy, he still felt like his experience was limited.
To ensure sufficient stock and meet demand, the official website, in addition to offline pharmacies, had listed over ten thousand orders.
Each order was for a single box, priced at a not-insignificant 888, with each box containing fifty small pills.
Taking two pills a day for two consecutive months would basically bring the condition under good control!
Patients with the illness had to take various medications daily, constantly fearing an accidental relapse.
For them, taking medicine was as simple as eating.
Upon hearing that it required continuous medication for two months, all patients expressed that they could manage these two months!
...
Meanwhile, Shen Yao and Mo Chen were in the backyard.
Shortly after Shen Yao and her father proposed to Mo Chen, Shen Yao also asked Mo Chen to cultivate with her.
To everyone's surprise, Mo Chen's spiritual roots were the same as Jiaozi's: he possessed a great many spiritual roots. In a cultivation world, such a person would at best be a mere handyman disciple.
However, Mo Chen was different. Despite having numerous spiritual roots, he completed qi-invoking within two hours and could even extrapolate, leaving Shen Yao, his master, with no sense of accomplishment!
When Shen Yao told him to cultivate with her, Mo Chen was initially shocked and apprehensive, but not the least bit afraid.
After the shock and apprehension, Mo Chen was ecstatic. Shen Yao confiding such an important matter to him indicated that he was a trustworthy person in her heart!
"I heard that having so many spiritual roots isn't suitable for cultivation," Mo Chen said to Shen Yao, his tone revealing a hint of "grievance."
Shen Yao: What grievance are you talking about?!
With Mo Chen's talent, he would be considered uniquely exceptional even in a cultivation world!
"Who said that?!"
Shen Yao's tone was one of displeasure.
But then she thought, that couldn't be right. She had only taught cultivation to her family members.
They had only a superficial understanding of these matters; how could they have said such a thing? And they certainly wouldn't have said it in front of Mo Chen!
"No one said it, but I read it in novels!" Mo Chen replied earnestly.
Shen Yao: ...
Seriously, from reading novels?! Can the things in novels be trusted? Novels also say that those with single spiritual roots cultivate faster and cannot sense the spiritual energy in the air, right?
But why was Mo Chen different?
He had many varied spiritual roots, yet he was able to invoke qi so quickly?
Those novels were untrustworthy!
"You don't need to worry. Having multiple spiritual roots is definitely different from other spiritual roots. Since you are so outstanding, I believe you can do it!"
Shen Yao offered a perfunctory compliment. It wasn't that she didn't want to praise him, but she couldn't think of anything else to say!
"Then I'm relieved. I knew it, from the moment I first saw you, I felt you were like an immortal descending to earth.
But it was just my limited perspective. I never imagined you were actually an immortal!"
After speaking, Mo Chen cupped Shen Yao's face with both hands and leaned in to kiss her.
Just as Mo Chen was about to proceed further.
"Aaaahhh... (We're here, what are you doing!)"
"Yiyiya ya ah a baba... (Let go of my mother, mother is mine!)"
"Yaya yaya... (I'm so angry, I'm very serious!)"
Mo Chen: ...
Shen Yao: ...
Shen Yao's gaze swept around, and she then walked towards the two little ones with a smile, as if she were not the one caught in a compromising situation.
Of course, this was if one overlooked her blushing ears.
Shen Yao immediately scooped up Tuanzi into her arms. He had been the most vociferous just now. Another possibility was that Mo Chen wouldn't have given her the chance.
Shen Yao held him close and kissed his two chubby little cheeks fiercely, "You little rascal!"
The little Tuanzi wasn't angry at all. Instead, he responded to Shen Yao's words with a smirking grin and babbling sounds.
"Oh oh oh, you're babbling, I don't know what you're saying."
Honestly, guessing a child's thoughts could be quite difficult, especially for very young ones who couldn't even articulate basic words.
However, having been a mother for so many years, Shen Yao naturally understood the general meaning behind the little one's babbling.
"Ah ah ah..." Little Tuanzi.
"Yiyiya ya..." Jiaozi.
Soon after, Mo Chen, having recovered, also walked over, his target Shen Yao, who was gnawing on her own foot.
Shen Yao found his obvious favoritism to be rather helpless, but she decided not to quibble with the little ones!
Heh, you little kids!
