Ye Tian picked up the bottle and took a small sip, then closed his eyes to feel the medicinal effects circulating within his body. It took him a full half hour before he opened his eyes, a sun-like smile blooming on his face. "The effect is even better than anticipated," he said.
Zhu Hongyan let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "It's finally successful! Boss, what name are you planning to give this medicine?"
Ye Tian pondered for a moment. "Let's call it Xiaokang Oral Liquid. Gather all the staff; I'll teach them the extraction process for each medicine."
Zhu Hongyan: "Boss, you should go back and rest first. The medicines prepared can be used for a ten-person trial to see the effects."
Ye Tian, thinking he hadn't been home for a few days, nodded in agreement. "Alright, then we'll delay it by two days. I'll go prepare the medicinal ingredients for treating cancer first."
Returning to Ye's Villa, Ye Tian took a shower and then went to sleep. When he woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
He pushed open the door and saw Lin Ziyi simmering soup in the kitchen.
"Tian Ge, you're awake? Perfect, the soup is almost ready. Try some," she smiled.
Ye Tian stretched and asked, "Ziyi, have the Xu family caused any more trouble at the company?"
Lin Ziyi: "No. The security guards issued a letter of understanding, and your second uncle paid 150,000 yuan, so he doesn't have to go to jail."
Then she added, "Oh, Tian Ge, a woman came looking for you."
Ye Tian was curious. "A woman looking for me? Who?"
Lin Ziyi: "She's pregnant. I saw she had difficulty moving, so I arranged for her to stay at a nearby hotel."
Ye Tian: "Why would a pregnant woman look for me? To see a doctor?"
Lin Ziyi: "I asked her, and she said she could only speak when she saw you."
Ye Tian: "Do you know her name?"
Lin Ziyi: "She didn't say, and I didn't ask. Shall I have her come over tomorrow?"
Ye Tian: "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's eat something first; I'm starving."
Lin Ziyi served Ye Tian a bowl of soup. Just as he had eaten half of it, a person he hadn't contacted in a long time called. It was Long Xiao. Long Xiao was his agent for the Peak Fighting competition, and they had collaborated once, during which Ye Tian made a substantial amount of money.
"Ye Tian, there's a continent-level gambling fight tomorrow night. Do you want to participate?"
Ye Tian wasn't particularly short of money now, so he wasn't as enthusiastic about gambling fights. However, he still asked, "How much capital is involved in this gambling fight, and how many fighters will participate?"
Long Xiao: "This gambling fight is jointly organized by the four major Asian financial groups, and at least a hundred fighters will participate. Based on my experience, this gambling fight will have a significant impact, with at least trillions of US dollars involved."
Ye Tian was shocked. "Trillions of US dollars!"
Long Xiao: "Yes. Such a massive amount of capital will inevitably attract the world's top fighters."
Ye Tian: "Could it be that fighters can get extra benefits?"
"That's right. If a fighter wins, they can take ten percent of the profit from the bettors."
Ye Tian: "If I participate, how much can I earn?"
Long Xiao smiled. "With your strength, you can earn at least tens of billions of US dollars! However, I must remind you that genetically modified humans from the United States will be participating in this gambling fight."
Ye Tian: "Same as last time, can I bet from outside the ring?"
Long Xiao: "Of course. The figures I mentioned earlier do not include what you can earn from outside the ring."
Ye Tian was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "Where is the location?"
"An unnamed island in the East China Sea. After registering, a helicopter will pick us up. By the way, many wealthy individuals from China are also participating in this gambling fight. You are a big boss now, so it's best to alter your appearance to avoid being recognized."
Ye Tian: "I am a Human Immortal. Will they restrict me from participating?"
Long Xiao sneered. "Even modified humans can participate, so Human Immortals can naturally do so as well."
Ye Tian said calmly, "Then I'll participate. Who would turn down money?"
Long Xiao nodded. "I'll arrive in Zhonghai tomorrow morning. We'll meet at noon, and then depart punctually at three in the afternoon."
Ye Tian: "Okay, you come find me. I'm staying at Ye's Villa."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ziyi asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Tian, fearing she would worry, said, "I'm meeting a friend tomorrow and will be away for a day or two."
Lin Ziyi: "Tian Ge, you've been too tired these past few days. It's good to rest. By the way, I have nothing else to do. Do you need me to accompany you?"
Ye Tian: "No need. The person I'm meeting is not convenient for you to see."
Lin Ziyi: "Alright then, come back early."
After drinking the soup, Ye Tian went into the courtyard to practice some boxing. Around ten o'clock, he received a photo on his phone. It was a woman with a beautiful and delicate appearance. Seeing her, Ye Tian's body trembled, and he murmured, "It's her!"
