At ten in the morning, Shen Qiang left the beautiful teacher's laboratory.
In fact, a stable sample of Thermophilic Streptococcus was within the leaves of the Plague Source. All Shen Qiang needed to do was take it out to use as a treatnt for lactose intolerance.
However, there was one complex little issue involved.
That was the issue of the dosage of the bacteria.
Shen Qiang had viable bacteria ready, which could be propagated as soon as he took it out, but deciding the amount and setting the standards involved complex issues.
Moreover, and more troubleso, any drug, before being officially marketed, required a large number of clinical trials.
To proceed with clinical trials, support from extensive data was required to confirm effectiveness and the absence of severe side effects to obtain approval to enter clinical trials.
This needed proof from extensive laboratory data.
So even with the bacteria available, confirming its efficacy also required a lot of ti to record the changes in the bacterial population under various conditions.
Because only in this way could Shen Qiang's Thermophilic Streptococcus gain final recognition, make its way into hospitals, and reach the patients.
And this, obviously, would consu a lot of ti and experience.
If it were before Shen Qiang had seen that picture of the healthy baby, he might not have wanted to do this.
Because if it were about making money, Shen Qiang could simply perform Alchemy now.
No approval needed, no testing required, made and ready to use.
But after seeing that healthy, adorable smile on the baby's face, Shen Qiang felt inexplicably relieved, after all, a person's life should not be only about money.
Poor as one may be, take care of oneself; rich as one may be, aid the world.
Being able to make money and save people, there was nothing wrong with such a pursuit.
Returning to the graduate school, Shen Qiang visited the classroom during a self-study period. Not many people, just a few scattered around like a couple of kittens.
So Shen Qiang scanned the room and thought to leave.
But just then, a familiar figure made Shen Qiang stop in his tracks.
The human doll clothing expert, Shen Qiang's major bodyguard, affiliated with the Dark Departnt of the Dragon Group, codenad Xiu Ju, that woman was sitting there quietly reading a book.
Shen Qiang, astounded and amazed, then walked over.
Before even getting within five ters of her, she seed to feel Shen Qiang's approach and looked up, smiling at him.
Shen Qiang sat down beside her and frowned, "What are you doing here?"
She smiled, "Self-study class, here to read a book."
Shen Qiang incredulously swept a glance at the romance novels she held, which were clearly borrowed from a rental bookstore, and read, "Mistakenly Married the Right Groom, Monk with Eight-Pack Abs, Cold-hearted CEO Loves Fiercely, School Idol's Personal Female Expert..."
Staring blankly at the Dark Departnt's Xiu Ju, who had obtained Jade Cream but still had a face full of freckles, Shen Qiang exclaid in astonishnt, "You're here attending a self-study class reading... spicy novels?"
The face of the Dark Departnt's Xiu Ju instantly turned red, "Don't talk nonsense, these are romance novels."
"Romance novels? A book titled Monk with Eight-Pack Abs?" Shen Qiang frowned, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Dark Departnt Xiu Ju's face turned red. With a flick of her hand, the book titled "Eight-pack Abs Wild Monk" disappeared, leaving only one called "Wrong Bed, Right Groom," one called "Cruel CEO Loves Fiercely," and the last one called "School Hunk's Personal Female Master." She then lowered her voice and said, "It's just a self-study class anyway, so it doesn't matter what you read."
Shen Qiang couldn't hold back his amusent, "You should leave, you don't understand dicine anyway. If a teacher or fellow student starts discussing it, you won't be able to respond to a single thing; what are you even pretending for."
Hearing this, Dark Departnt Xiu Ju said coldly, "I've been reading undergraduate dical textbooks these past few days. I can handle basic questioning without slipping up."
Shen Qiang felt helpless, "You should leave, okay? A day or two is fine, but if it's any longer, you're bound to slip up."
Dark Departnt Xiu Ju said with surprise, "Slip up what? I underwent all the appropriate enrollnt procedures, I'm just in the sa class as you as a Clinical dicine graduate student."
"What?" Shen Qiang was astonished, but then he ca to a realization.
Dragon Group.
Huaxia's umbrella.
The ard police of the Cultivation World.
Using the connection from the Dragon Group to beco a graduate student at the dical University was simply too easy.
This made Shen Qiang's mood suddenly drop, realizing sothing so easy for him had taken a trendous effort to achieve.
anwhile, as Shen Qiang was feeling down, Dark Departnt Xiu Ju spoke softly, "So, you don't have to worry, apart from the fact that I'll never graduate with a Master's degree in dicine, all the admissions procedures can withstand scrutiny."
Shen Qiang froze, "Can't receive a degree?"
Dark Departnt Xiu Ju smiled sowhat helplessly, "Yes, so I'm essentially just studying alongside you, and…" she looked at Shen Qiang seriously, "the mandate I received was to protect you closely until your Cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Stage."
Shen Qiang's eyes sparkled, "So you're saying, even the Dragon Group won't help soone get a degree if they're not qualified?"
Dark Departnt Xiu Ju frowned, puzzled, "Of course, even if needed for the mission, any such degree would be revoked once the mission concludes, so to actually earn a legitimate degree, you'll have to work for it."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Good, a degree earned through his own hard work wasn't sothing that could just be handed to him; striving for it was worthwhile. After all, Shen Qiang was still young and to beco a greatly respected person, a distinguished record was essential.
Feeling more relaxed, Shen Qiang smiled and casually asked, "I gave you the Jade Cream days ago, why haven't you used it? Isn't beauty your dream?"
Dark Departnt Xiu Ju gave a slight smile, then sighed with a saddened look, "If I used it, my task would fail because here, a beautiful woman cannot go unnoticed."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang paused before asking, "Is the mission more important to you than beauty?"
Dark Departnt Xiu Ju was silent for a long ti before smiling, "I have the Jade Cream. When the mission is over, that will be the ti to say goodbye to my freckles."
"Moreover, it was predicted earlier that it would take about three years for you to advance from the Foundation Establishnt Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage. Unfortunately, you're a bit slow, so I'm telling you seriously now, if you humbly seek my advice, maybe you could reach the Nascent Soul Stage in two and a half years."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang chuckled, "Don't be too full of yourself. I'm telling you now, if it takes longer than half a year to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, I'll consider it a loss."
Dark Departnt Xiu Ju paused, then said seriously, "Impossible, even I took two years and three months to go through that phase, and Qian Shanxue took two years and seven months."
Shen Qiang laughed, "You'll soon find out that I never say I can't do sothing."
Dark Departnt Xiu Ju pouted, "If you can complete the transformation from the Foundation Establishnt Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage in six months, then there would be few in the world more talented than you."
Shen Qiang smiled, glancing at the book "School Hunk's Personal Female Master" in front of Dark Departnt Xiu Ju. He playfully changed the subject, "Since you're to protect closely, why don't you help find a nearby apartnt? Then we can live together, and you can truly protect closely, perfect! Just like the plot of that book you're holding."
Upon hearing this, Dark Departnt Xiu Ju paused, then her face abruptly flushed red…
