"I can hardly tell, Ms. Zeng already has two daughters; it looks more like three sisters," those words weren’t meant to be a pliment, but for an ordinary person, Mrs. Zeng indeed looks very young.
"missioner John really has a way with words. For specific matters, it’s best for my eldest daughter Xuerou to discuss them with you. This medicinal formula was left to both of them by their grandfather," as a test, Mrs. Zeng also wanted to see how Xuerou and Xiao Xian would handle things, as she had already laid the groundwork, but ultimately, the kids had to plete the final work themselves.
"Hello, missioner John," Xuerou, grasping the intent, greeted him first.
Following the plan she and Xuerou had agreed on earlier, Xiao Xian simply echoed the greeting.
"Regarding this hangover medicine, it wasn’t originally our institute’s responsibility to test it, but a friend transferred it to me. I was amazed by its efficacy, so I personally came to China. If possible, I would like to collaborate with you," John’s words made both Xiao Xian and Zeng Xuerou stagger a bit; what was so special about the efficacy of this hangover medicine?
John had a waiter bring a glass of water, then he pulled out a hairy crab from under the table.
Fortunately, all those present were posed. The hairy crabs provided by Huang Teng Chong were raised in Mingkun Lake; a small portion that hadn’t acclimatized and died were retrieved and sent over as per John’s request. They were recently deceased crabs.
John’s next move was to take out a piece of the drug, dissolve it in water, and then drop the dead crab into it. His actions were practiced, treating the dead crab as if it were a chemical vial in a laboratory.
Before long, the previously stiff legs of the hairy crab reacted, and bubbles began to form on the crab’s gills.
"Our medicine?" Xuerou watched the dead hairy crab e to life, then recalled the pill John had just put into the water; it seemed like their "Coated Little Bomb," but something seemed off.
"It’s our medicine, but with a new ingredient added," Xiao Xian interjected.
John glanced at Xiao Xian seemingly inadvertently; she must be the real developer of the drug.
"Mr. John, the agreement was to review the medicine, you shouldn’t have changed the formula without permission," Mrs. Zeng could no longer sit still. Hangover medicine should be just that; if it’s used to revive a dead hairy crab, that’s not just an ordinary medicine anymore. Mrs. Zeng keenly sensed something from this.
"Rest assured, we only added a small amount of a special agent. As for its effects," John reached out his finger and gently tapped on the shell of the hairy crab, murmuring softly, "One, two, three."
As soon as he uttered "three," the bubbles on the mouth and gills of the hairy crab burst, the moving legs and claws stopped, and it returned to being a dead crab again.
"The effect lasts about ten seconds," of course, this was without John continuously interfering, something Xiao Xian and the others were unaware of. As he spoke, John turned his gaze to Xiao Xian, "So, Ms. Zeng’s youngest daughter, what needs to be done if I want a longer effect?"
After the analysis of the hangover medicine, it showed a faint cell-enhancing effect. John came from a well-known European family specializing in bio-pathological research, with several members engaged in cell activation research, including some special talents.
John was one of them, having inherited this special ability from his grandfather, but this particular trait was skipped a generation as neither his father nor his mother enjoyed the same benefits.
"missioner John, I don’t understand what you mean," Xiao Xian feigned ignorance, although she was curious about John and the results of the experiment.
"Being able to activate cells that have already depleted, even if just for ten seconds, means it could be for twenty seconds, a minute, a year, or even ten years. I believe this could have a greater impact on modern medicine, far more valuable than simply as a hangover cure," John believed as the daughter of the business-savvy Mrs. Zeng and a member of the Zeng Family, the youngest daughter must also see the mercial value in this.
In fact, John had unintentionally added a human stem cell activator secretly developed by his family to the hangover medicine. Surprisingly, when bined with this hangover medicine, the until-now ineffective activator revealed its potential.
After discovering this astounding effect, John spent several sleepless days and nights analyzing the ponents of the hangover medicine, but no matter how he adjusted the ratios, the best effect he could achieve was a "return to life" for ten seconds.
The smaller the organism, the better the effect; applied to the human body, the effect would probably be negligible.
"With all the talking, forgot to order drinks," Mrs. Zeng was good at seizing the right moment, although she wasn’t a pharmaceutical expert. From missioner John’s pressing demeanor, the issue of the hangover medicine had already stepped outside the realm of patent approval.
Xuerou called the waiter and ordered a few warm drinks as the air conditioning in the tea house was a bit low, and Xiao Xian also didn’t look too good.
The hangover medicine had suddenly leapt to the status of a life-saving drug, and Xuerou was worried that Xiao Xian wasn’t mentally prepared.
The beverages were quickly served; Xiao Xian had ordered a glass of watermelon juice. In the tall glass full of fresh watermelon juice, it was thirst-quenching and very refreshing.
After a few sips, Xiao Xian felt the chaotic thoughts in her head slowly being clear, "The watermelon juice here is really good."
Hearing her suddenly switch to a child-like tone and speak such irrelevant words, both Mrs. Zeng and Xuerou couldn’t help but sweat for Xiao Xian.
John’s mocha coffee had cooled down, but he didn’t ask the waiter to replace it. Instead, he picked up the handle of the coffee cup, waiting for Xiao Xian’s response.
