Lin Muxian hung up the phone.
She sent an email to an overseas antique shop that specialized in keeping precious items.
This way, someone would mail her the dress she had stored at the shop five years ago.
Lin Muxian then thought about it and sent another email to the antique shop.
"Can you get synthetic agent sz637?"
She asked this antique shop!
The antique shop responded quickly.
"This agent has been banned, we cannot get it."
Lin Muxian frowned.
She wanted to get the original version of this agent.
Otherwise, without the original version, she wouldn't be able to treat Ling Qianhe.
Her medical skills were divine.
But she still needed to prescribe the right medicine for the symptoms.
She asked the system.
"Do you have a way?"
The system hummed.
"One clue costs fifty points."
Lin Muxian was very unhappy, "Do you have to be so greedy? Are you robbing me?"
The system said, "You don't have to buy it. We are doing business, not forcing you to buy clues. If you don't buy, we'll eliminate you."
"You decide. Ling Qianhe's life must be worth some points."
Lin Muxian said angrily, "Then I'll buy it."
The system gave a prompt.
"Go find the psychologist Yang Lanyan."
"He has clues about synthetic agent sz637!"
Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Muxian rolled her eyes. She wished she could kill the system—was the system trying to enrage her?
What was the point of this clue?
But the system clearly adopted an attitude of "this is how it is, and you can't take advantage of me."
She could only grit her teeth and accept the loss.
...
The sky was dark, and the rain wet the green leaves outside the window. When the man in the white doctor's coat looked at Lin Muxian, his eyes seemed to be soaked by the rain, shining astonishingly.
"You want to know about synthetic agent sz637?"
Lin Muxian directly asked about the agent without beating around the bush, and he didn't seem surprised.
"Let me think... this agent seems to have disappeared for over ten years."
"After all, an agent with such severe side effects cannot pass the drug regulatory audits of various countries, and the original drug has been destroyed."
Lin Muxian's heart skipped a beat, then she looked up at the man opposite her, "How can I get this agent?"
Yang Lanyan adjusted his glasses and gazed at Lin Muxian calmly and gently.
"But, Xiao Muxian, why are you curious about this agent?"
"Could it be..."
"Do you have someone you know who was injected with this agent?"
"But—this is impossible."
"After all, this agent has been gone for so long..."
A hint of confusion flashed in Yang Lanyan's eyes, and his voice was clear and pleasant.
"It's very curious why Xiao Muxian is inquiring about this agent."
Lin Muxian could only vaguely convey the key information. Da Feng Novel Network
"I just heard... there are many strange rumors in the entertainment industry. I also thought that since you used to be overseas, you might have news about this agent."
Yang Lanyan hummed, his eyes deep.
Whether he believed it or not, his gaze slowly fell on Lin Muxian's face. After a moment, Yang Lanyan nodded and smiled.
"Is that so."
"I did see this agent once in the laboratory a long time ago."
"My university mentor, Dr. Stephen, was in charge of this project at the time."
"He said that this agent was originally intended to cure a certain virus, by greatly stimulating the human body's latent energy to gain the ability to fight the virus."
"But later, after several rounds of trials, the side effects were too great, so great that ordinary humans could not bear it. It had to be destroyed."
"This information is highly confidential."
"Even in overseas research institutes, very few people can accurately name the agent."
Yang Lanyan sighed.
"If anyone still has this agent, I think it might be my former mentor, Dr. Stephen."
"I can send him an email for you, Xiao Muxian. However, his health is very poor, he suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and a lot of work requires assistants.
"So he may not be able to help you."
Lin Muxian said "oh." Regardless, this was a clue, and she wouldn't give up.
Yang Lanyan handed her an invitation letter.
Lin Muxian was startled.
"What is this?"
Yang Lanyan said, "Xiao Muxian, I heard your academic performance in school is very good? If you hope to get into Tsinghua University, I hope you will consider this invitation."
Lin Muxian opened it.
[This is a key to open a new world. Welcome to visit the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.]
Yang Lanyan added,
"Dr. Stephen is currently at this university. It is the best comprehensive science and engineering university in the Americas. If you can apply for his auditing student status, you might be able to participate in his research group, and thus obtain—the most original information about the synthetic agent sz637 you mentioned."
"This is an opportunity, dear Xiao Muxian."
"I believe you are a smart girl and will not let go of an opportunity placed before you."
Lin Muxian nodded.
"Yes. I will not let go of any opportunity placed before me."
"Thank you."
As she was about to turn, Yang Lanyan suddenly spoke.
"Ling Qianhe's psychological condition seems to have improved a lot. Is it because of you, Xiao Muxian?"
"Do you want to be his savior?"
Lin Muxian paused slightly, but she responded without hesitation.
"In this world, no one can save another person. People can only save themselves."
Yang Lanyan smiled.
"Is that so?"
"I can tell you another piece of news, though I don't know if you'll be interested. Xiao Muxian, the cruise ship where I took you for a walk, I don't know if you remember, many years ago, a gruesome accident happened on that cruise ship. A ship worker was secretly sent to a research institute and never came out.
"All information about him was secretly destroyed."
"In the laboratories of Caltech, archives of this sinful secret are hidden."
"I think you might be interested."
"Because that ship worker was the father of your classmate Zhou Yuan'an..."
When he said this, Lin Muxian immediately turned around.
Her eyes instantly became serious, she pursed her lips tightly, staring fixedly at Yang Lanyan's face, trying to discern the truth of his words.
"How do you know that was Zhou Yuan'an's father?"
"How do you know I would be interested in this matter?"
Yang Lanyan showed an expression of having already guessed.
"Because I saw a bit of the file back then. I just didn't think I was interested in it myself, so I didn't pay attention."
"But I think you should be interested. After all, you are a kind and meddlesome girl, aren't you?"
"You won't stand idly by when it comes to your classmate's affairs."
Lin Muxian was silent, then nodded. "Yes. I won't stand idly by."
"Thank you for telling me this."
Yang Lanyan smiled.
"If you really want to thank me—then give me a kiss?"
Lin Muxian shook her head quickly, then looked at Yang Lanyan warily, with a cold expression that said, "You're not getting any advantage from me." Yang Lanyan was quite frustrated.
"Ling Qianhe can, but I can't?"
Lin Muxian snorted coldly.
"Ling Qianhe can't either!"
These stinky men, they won't get any advantage from her!
