Chapter 66: Someone's Intentionally Stirring Trouble?
In this world.
Hospitals don't have samples of toxins.
Usually, only disease control centers or research facilities do.
After getting off the car, Chen Ye didn't go directly to the disease control center but stopped by the nearby bank to withdraw two hundred thousand in cash (no appointment required).
There was no choice.
The other party requested cash transactions.
Afterward, Chen Ye found a place and transformed into the appearance of Long Aotian before meeting the physician.
If something goes wrong...
Of course, it would all be attributed to Long Aotian!
What does it have to do with Chairman Chen's obedient son?
A moment later.
When Chen Ye returned to school, he had an extra box in his hand.
Inside the box were the toxin samples he wanted, a total of three, accompanied by three doses of antidote.
This toxin could be transmitted through the air and would cause fever-like symptoms similar to the flu upon infection.
Most importantly, the symptoms of this toxin would appear very quickly. Once infected, a fever would develop within half an hour.
Generally speaking.
Toxins with fast onset symptoms were also more potent.
Fortunately, this toxin had a specific antidote, and it was oral.
After all, in this world, there were talented individuals like the Child Emperor who could even invent city walls and exoskeleton armor. Developing an antidote for toxins wasn't considered extraordinary.
Before, Chen Ye had searched online for information for a long time, and finally found that only this toxin met his requirements!
Fast-acting!
Symptoms not too severe!
And there's an antidote.
In fact, for those infected with this toxin, without the antidote, normal people could rely on their immune systems to recover. However, the recovery time would be a bit long, possibly taking several days.
And in the 2nd secret realm, one could only stay for 12 hours. If Chen Ye came out and the toxin was still active, causing a large-scale infection, it wouldn't be good.
The antidote could help patients deactivate the toxin within an hour.
...
In the blink of an eye.
Another week passed.
Today was already the last day of August, and tomorrow was the day the secret realm would open.
At noon, after Chen Ye finished his meal in the cafeteria, he received a message from Tang Zichen.
[Are you free? I want to talk to you about the 2nd secret realm.]
[Sure.] Chen Ye replied.
[Let's meet in the small forest then, I'll be waiting for you there.]
Chen Ye: "..."
Why does this girl always like to go to the small forest?
Walking on the way to the small forest.
Chen Ye had actually considered not using the toxin and relying on his own strength to get through the 2nd secret realm.
With his current strength, it shouldn't be a problem.
Even if he were surrounded by a horde of zombies, he could still break through the encirclement.
However...
Wasn't it foolish to not use the cheat tool and instead risk using his strength?
What if he accidentally got infected with zombie toxin?
So, the idea of using brute strength to pass through the secret realm was quickly abandoned by Chen Ye.
Such a risky behavior didn't match his personality.
A moment later.
In the small forest, Chen Ye met Tang Zichen.
The girl came prepared and brought a map.
As soon as they met, she unfolded the map and asked, "Chen Ye, we're entering the secret realm tomorrow. These are the relatively safer spots that the teacher mentioned. Where do you want to go?"
"Ah? I don't mind, you decide," Chen Ye replied casually.
...
At the same time.
Teacher Liu, who had just finished lunch, was also called into the office by Vice Principal Zhang.
When he arrived, he found several important leaders in the principal's office.
Seeing this lineup, Old Liu knew there must be trouble.
He greeted reluctantly, "Hello, Principal, hello everyone... What can I do for you?"
Vice Principal Zhang greeted warmly, "Have a seat first."
After Teacher Liu sat down, Vice Principal Zhang suddenly said, "Teacher Liu, that student in your class, Chen Ye, actually allocated 130 points of potential to his physique attribute because he's afraid of pain?"
Teacher Liu was stunned and immediately asked, "Principal, how did you know about this?"
He remembered that he hadn't mentioned this to anyone outside and had even specifically told the students not to spread it.
It was only because Chairman Chen had called him last time to talk about his son that he told Chairman Chen about it out of responsibility for Chen Ye.
"Someone uploaded the video of the strength test you conducted with the students to the internet," Vice Principal Zhang said.
Teacher Liu was stunned again.
The test video?
That's something only the Ability Association has access to!
Moreover, the country has long stipulated that it is not allowed to upload videos of others' strength tests to the internet...
So, who did this?
Did they realize it's illegal?
Teacher Liu furrowed his brows, faintly feeling that someone was intentionally causing trouble.
Vice Principal Zhang obviously didn't care who did it; he continued, "Teacher Liu, the reputation on the internet is not good! Netizens are mocking that student Chen Ye in your class. This child is really hopeless and always does foolish things... What do you think about this, Teacher Liu?"
Teacher Liu didn't quite understand Vice Principal Zhang's meaning and straightforwardly asked, "Principal, please just tell me what's going on!"
"It's like this, I heard that Chen Ye is still very close to Tang Zichen? I called you here today to ask you to inquire whether Tang Zichen still wants to team up with Chen Ye in the 2nd secret realm," Vice Principal Zhang finally stated his purpose, "If so, it's best to stop them and advise Tang Zichen to choose another teammate."
Teacher Liu was silent for a moment and said, "Principal, according to the rules of our university, I shouldn't interfere with the students' right to form teams..."
"Tang Zichen's situation is special, and we can't treat her the same as others!" Vice Principal Zhang patiently explained, "Teacher Liu, you know how you got through the 1st secret realm those twenty days, don't you! Are you still willing to go through such anxious days again?"
"And fortunately, Tang Zichen had good luck in the 1st secret realm and didn't have any accidents, and she even got additional rewards... But can you guarantee that her good luck will continue?"
"Have you ever thought that if something happens to Tang Zichen in the secret realm, we will all be guilty for eternity!"
"Moreover, even if Tang Zichen continues to be lucky this time, if teaming up with Chen Ye causes her grades to decline, how will the outside world view this? Just the criticism from netizens alone can cause us a lot of trouble!"
"Tang Zichen is now a popular figure on the internet, and such incidents are bound to happen."
"And, just now, the principal also called me. His meaning is, don't worry about his relationship with Chairman Chen's son; we must prioritize the overall situation! Tang Zichen, this child, even the authorities in Beijing are paying attention to her. Her future cannot afford any mistakes!"
"If Tang Zichen can become the second Mrs. Qin in the future, think about how much benefit it would bring to our entire country and people?"
After listening to this speech.
Teacher Liu finally wavered.
"Principal, I understand. You're right, Tang Zichen is indeed our hope for the future! We must not allow any mishaps."
Teacher Liu said solemnly, "I'll go ask her now."
Vice Principal Zhang finally smiled upon hearing this, "Teacher Liu, as long as you understand, that's good... Time is of the essence, go now! I'll wait for your good news."
Teacher Liu nodded and left the principal's office with a serious expression.
Just as he returned to his dormitory.
He contacted Tang Zichen.
