Meting with Rani

The next day,

As soon as Aarv entered the game, he heard the global system message,

[

Congratulations to Player Andrew for being the second lord in the world to upgrade their town…

Rewards: +400 reputation points, 1,000 gold coins, a Special building…

]

Aarv looked at the rewards with great interest. Special buildings, unlike hidden buildings, were available through the system marketplace. There were no hidden requirements to obtain these buildings. As long as the lord had money, they would be able to buy these special buildings.

Aarv lost interest after reading the rewards and diverted his attention to the 'cadets' in front of him. Today most of the people were standing weirdly because of the torture they have gone through yesterday.

"Today you will continue running 100 meters… but in a group of three people…"

Aarv increased the number of people in a group so that they can improve their coordination between each of them. This was an ancient technique used to increase the coordination between the soldiers.

After watching their form for a while, he exited the training grounds and returned to his office where Rani from the research department was waiting for him.

As she saw Aarv, she bowed,

"Aarv babu…"

Aarv knew that Rani was one of the top researchers in the world. She used to be an orphan. When Aarv's father took the role of Major General, Sudansh Bhosle led an investigation at that time and found out that the family members of soldiers who died on the border protecting their country were not given any subsidy or any type of pension.

Rani was such a person. Her father died on the border and within a month, due to an illness, her mother also passed away. The 8-year-old Rani had no other choice but to live in an orphanage.

When the truth came out, Major Sudansh Bhosle discovered that the superiors who were in charge of providing the pension, took the money for their own benefits while leaving the thousands of children and their mothers on the street.

In a fit of rage, Major Bhosle wrote a petition to the government of India stating all the wrongdoings of these corrupt officers. But, that too did not pass until 2018 when the government changed in India.

Major Sudansh Bhosle took all the responsibility for such children who lost their parents in the military and opened a big military school for them where they can get free education and live a worry-free life.

"Aarv Babu…!!"

Rani said again, this time in a little loud voice which work Aarv up. He then looked at Rani and asked,

"What happened…?"

"It's about Champoo… we have already discovered all the ingredients required to make Champoo… It's just…"

Rani looked hesitant to speak the last sentence… Aarv looked at her with a smile and said,

"You don't have to be worried… speak what's in your mind.."

"It's just that we haven't tested the product yet… and without testing, if something goes wrong then it might affect you, sir…"

Rani practically finished her concern in a single sentence. While Aarv laughed at her concern.

"Hahaha… do you think our ancestors made Ayurveda with side effects…? Only the modern medicine we use has side effects… which is copied from our Ayurveda…"

Aarv found it very funny. Our Ancestors wrote the Ayurveda thousands of years ago to describe all the herbs and their uses in medicine. They also describe What to eat and what to avoid in their book to release people from diseases. Modern scientists also tested their effects and found out that they had no side effects.

If one followed the life described in the book of Ayurveda, Scientists believed that human life could be extended to 100 years.

Yet some say that there is no practical benefit of such medicines as they do not cure the disease. The same people patented the pills described in Ayurveda and are selling them for sky-high prices. During these periods, more than 83 foreign companies applied for patents on products which were based on Ayurveda.

"We still need to test our products…"

Rani seemed stubborn about testing these products. Aarv looked at her stubborn face and her evaluation in his heart dropped a bit. He said unwillingly…

"Okay, You can test the products… and also test if these products can be mass-produced or not…"

Rani immediately felt overjoyed as she said,

"Thank you, Aarv Babu, The test results will be ready within 8 days…. As for your second question, The formula for Champoo is very simple… as long as we have the right ingredients, we can mass produce these things…"

"But.. the shelf life for Champoo will be very low… It would be a miracle if we could preserve it for a week…"

'This was a real problem…' Aarv thought…

"Well, you can research those things… I will give you permission when your tests are ready…"

Aarv decided to give Rani a chance to prove herself.

"As your wish Aarv Babu… I will do my best..!"

After leaving these words, Rani quickly left the meeting room while Aarv got busy flipping through all the reports in front of him…

These reports were made from the bark of an Indian tree called bhurja tree. (More on that in the next chapter…)
