Villainous Scientist (10)
【Hahaha, is this a secret?】
【Are you joking, OP? They live in the same dorm; everyone knows they are friends…】
【Stop going further into this thread, it’s pretty obvious that OP is just trolling…】
……
Jiang Qianyu’s brows tightened as she read the comments in the forum.
These people just don’t get it!
Song Xuyi is her only friend, and quite different from the “friends” mentioned by them… However, Jiang Qianyu found herself at a loss to describe exactly how Song Xuyi was different.
Fuming over these replies for a while, she eventually decided that since she had already obtained the answer she was looking for, she might as well exit the forum. She started to search for other information.
And naturally, Jiang Qianyu’s blatant skiving off did not escape the teacher’s notice.
At the very moment Jiang Qianyu closed her light brain, a beam of light shone on her. The 5D screen displayed granular medicine, and the teacher on the podium, pointing at the screen, looked coldly towards Jiang Qianyu: “This student has been on her light brainfor the whole class, presumably confident about the content of the lesson. So, let’s have you identify this medicine!”
Having never attended school before, Jiang Qianyu didn’t realize she needed to stand up to answer the teacher’s question. Unaware that the teacher was currently angry, she remained seated in her chair, lazily lifting her eyes to glance at the medicine before responding almost instantly, “It’s Pulo granules!”
The teacher was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Qianyu to answer correctly. Seeing that the student didn’t even stand up when responding, the teacher, wanting to teach Jiang Qianyu a lesson, asked with a cold face, “What is the function of Pulo granules?”
Although it seemed the student had prepared and was able to answer the question, the function of Pulo granules was extensive.
However, Jiang Qianyu answered as if it were as easy as picking something up off the street.
Without a second thought, she answered: “Pulo granules are primarily used for hemostasis and bone regeneration… The dosage of Pulo granules is directly proportional to a person’s weight, 1g for every 10kg… In other pharmacological respects, when combined with Mongu medicine, Pulo granules can numb wound pain; however, when mixed with Heihua granules, 1g can poison and kill an adult Alpha…”
Jiang Qianyu spoke very quickly, her tone unusually calm, yet her words sent shockwaves through the teacher’s heart.
Jiang Qianyu’s description of the functions of Pulo granules was exceedingly accurate, even more detailed than what was found in textbooks, and the subsequent derived pharmacology…
Could it be true that combining Pulo granules with Heihua granules could poison and kill an adult Alpha?
The teacher wasn’t aware of this derivative pharmacology and for a moment even thought Jiang Qianyu might be fabricating it, but the previous pharmacological details Jiang Qianyu had provided were impeccably accurate…
After pondering for a moment, the teacher decided to gloss over the issue for now but made a silent resolution: after work, he must head to the laboratory to verify whether what this girl had said was true!
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
But no matter what, this girl had made an extremely deep impression on the teacher.
Who exactly is she?
After the teacher pointed out that Jiang Qianyu’s behaviors during the class—using her light brain, not standing up when answering questions—were highly impolite, for the rest of the lesson Jiang Qianyu ‘humbly’ corrected herself and began to ‘seriously’ pay attention to the lecture, at least sitting up straight and directing her gaze towards the podium…
However, no matter how the teacher looked, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that Jiang Qianyu’s mind was wandering.
In fact, the teacher himself was also somewhat distracted; he was eager for the class to end so that he could rush to the laboratory to verify whether the girl’s statement was true.
Finally, the bell signaling the end of class rang.
The teacher almost left the classroom in haste…
Jiang Qianyu watched the teacher’s hurried departure and her lips curved into a slight smile.
The discovery that Pulo granules mixed with Heihua granules could cause Alpha’s death was actually a result of Jiang Qianyu’s own research, a fact unknown to anyone else in the world but Jiang Qianyu. She had deliberately revealed this finding.
The medical development on Blue Star is simply too backward!
It’s so backward that Jiang Qianyu couldn’t even dare to imagine: if Xuyi, injured on the battlefield, fell into the hands of these people…
After setting her goal to become a military doctor, Jiang Qianyu looked into it and found that it takes four years to graduate as a military doctor on Blue Star, while the mecha specialty for Song Xuyi only takes two years. This means that there would be two years during which, if Song Xuyi were to be injured on the battlefield, she would be treated by other military doctors…
How could Jiang Qianyu dare to let Song Xuyi fall into the hands of such low-level military doctors?
And Jiang Qianyu also understood this: Blue Star is in urgent need of excellent military doctors, and these teaching professors also held positions in the military…
Therefore, Jiang Qianyu made a firm resolution: During these two years, she would teach these professors more pharmacology knowledge. She didn’t aim to make them excellent military doctors, but at least they shouldn’t hold Song Xuyi back…
Of course, aside from the concern for Song Xuyi, Jiang Qianyu had other reasons for educating these teachers: She understood the Emperor’s nature better than anyone else. Now that Blue Star was so developed and prosperous, once the Emperor learned of it, a conflict would inevitably erupt sooner or later. The stronger Blue Star became, the more it would be perceived as a threat by the Emperor, whose desire for control was extremely strong…
Jiang Qianyu was willing to do anything that could displease the Emperor.
With such thoughts, Jiang Qianyu welcomed the morning.
“Our course is 《History of Pharmacy》, totaling thirty class hours, mainly to introduce you to the formation process of medicaments and the excellent predecessors who have studied them. Today, let’s start with the first lesson…”
“Presumably, everyone is familiar with the illustrious Jiang family, considered a monument in the history of pharmacy. We will spend fifteen class hours to understand this exceptional family, the Jiangs…”
Jiang Qianyu didn’t expect this.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Staring at the familiar faces on the 5D screen, Jiang Qianyu’s whole body went cold. She bit her lip tightly, and though her reason told her that everything was in the past, those dying cries and struggles kept surfacing before her eyes…
Her mother was torn apart alive by the Insect Race, and her sister-in-law died when she was already two months pregnant… One by one, the Jiang family members rushed forward, the young ones died, followed by the middle-aged ones, and finally, it was the turn of their ninety-year-old grandfather, who swung his cane only to be pierced through the heart by the Insect Race…
And the mastermind behind all of this…
Jiang Qianyu looked up towards the direction of the Imperial Star, her eyes gradually reddening.
At lunchtime, the sky was overcast with dense clouds, and a heavy rain began to fall.
After having lunch, Song Xuyi returned to the dormitory for a midday rest and discovered that Jiang Qianyu hadn’t come back for the entire afternoon.
Song Xuyi had originally planned to use casual conversation as an opportunity to share the story of the Jiang family and to gauge Jiang Qianyu’s attitude toward the Jiang family. With Jiang Qianyu not returning, Song Xuyi had to temporarily shelve the plan.
At first, Song Xuyi did not take Jiang Qianyu’s absence during the afternoon break to heart, focusing solely on previewing the knowledge for tomorrow until, that evening, a group of Alphas from the student affairs office surged into Song Xuyi’s dormitory.
“Where is Jiang Qianyu now? She missed all her afternoon classes!”
The military academy also operates under military management, imposing very strict demands on students, and missing an afternoon’s worth of classes would lead to severe punishment.
It was only then that Song Xuyi realized something was wrong.
With the torrential rain pouring down all day, where could Jiang Qianyu have gone?
Song Xuyi joined the student affairs office in the search for Jiang Qianyu.
However, after searching every classroom in the Medical College, Song Xuyi still could not find Jiang Qianyu. According to feedback from Jiang Qianyu’s classmates, after Jiang Qianyu left…
……
Recalling the contents of the 《History of Pharmacy》 which she had previewed,
Song Xuyi had a vague sense of understanding in her heart.
She changed direction in her steps, heading towards the school’s laboratory building.
In the Medical College, there were eight laboratories. Song Xuyi visited the first few but did not find any trace of Jiang Qianyu, until she reached the last laboratory.
Lightning, thick as a child’s arm, tore through the heavens, illuminating the dim interior: a light glowed dimly like a bean in the room, where a slender figure stood in front of the experimental table, busily adjusting the reagents.
Jiang Qianyu’s condition seemed quite bad.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
She was drenched, as if she had just been fished out of water, with her clothes still dripping. An abnormal flush appeared on her pale cheeks, her usually rosy lips had lost their color, and her eyes, fixed on the test tube, were filled with an icy indifference.
Seemingly sensing something, Jiang Qianyu lifted her head to look towards the door, her pupils contracted upon seeing it was Song Xuyi, the ice in her eyes suddenly shattered, and she subconsciously blocked the reagents behind her…
“Xuyi,” she began with a hoarse voice, as if trying to explain something, took two steps forward, but then her body weakly collapsed…
The author has something to say:
X﹏X, finished training today and took a ride home.
Too tired, only wrote this little bit.
If all goes well, will update six chapters tomorrow.
