Starting From Scratch: Little Marshal x Mad, Dark, Sickly Scientist
【Hahaha, is this a secret?】
【OP, are you kidding? They live in the same dorm, everyone knows they’re friends…】
【Stop replying, the OP is clearly fishing…】
…
Jiang Qianyu looked at the replies in the thread, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper.
These people didn’t understand at all!
Song Xuyi was her only friend, completely different from the “friends” they spoke of… Yet if Jiang Qianyu were to explain it, she couldn’t describe the difference at the moment.
She stayed angry at these replies for a long time. Eventually, figuring she’d already gotten the answer she wanted anyway, she simply exited the forum and began searching for other information.
And such blatant daydreaming on Jiang Qianyu’s part naturally caught the teacher’s attention.
Almost the exact moment Jiang Qianyu closed her light-brain, a beam of light projected onto her. The 5D screen displayed a granular medicine. Standing on the podium, the teacher pointed at the screen and looked coldly at Jiang Qianyu: “This student has been looking at her light-brain for the entire class. Surely, you must be fully prepared1 for today’s lesson. Why don’t you identify what medicine this is?”
Jiang Qianyu had never been to a school before. She didn’t know that students were supposed to stand up when answering a teacher’s question, nor did she realize the teacher was currently angry. Sitting in her chair, she lazily glanced up at the medicine and answered almost instantly: “These are Puluo granules!”
The teacher froze, not expecting Jiang Qianyu to answer correctly. Seeing that this student didn’t even stand up while answering, and wanting nothing more than to teach her a lesson, he pressed coldly: “What are the functions of Puluo granules?”
Although the student seemed to have previewed the material to answer the question, the introduction to the functions of Puluo granules wasn’t until after Chapter Fifteen. Even if a student previewed ahead, they wouldn’t have gone that far.
Yet Jiang Qianyu’s answer came effortlessly.
Almost without a second thought, she replied: “Puluo granules are primarily used for stopping bleeding and bone regeneration… The dosage of Puluo granules is proportional to body weight, at one gram per ten kilograms. In other pharmacological aspects, pairing Puluo granules with the Menggu drug can numb wound pain. However, when paired with Heihua granules, just one gram can poison an adult Alpha to death…”
Jiang Qianyu spoke extremely fast. Her tone was completely flat, yet it set off a raging tempest in the teacher’s mind.
Jiang Qianyu’s description of the functions of Puluo granules was incredibly precise. Even the textbook didn’t contain such detailed explanations. As for the secondary pharmacological applications she mentioned after that…
Could combining Puluo granules with Heihua granules really poison an adult Alpha to death?
The teacher had no knowledge of this secondary pharmacology. For a moment, he even suspected Jiang Qianyu was making it up. However, her previous answers had been completely accurate…
After a brief thought, the teacher decided to let the matter slide for now. Privately, however, he made up his mind: he’d definitely go to the laboratory after work to verify whether what this girl said was true!
But regardless, this girl had left an incredibly deep impression on him.
Who on earth was she?
After the teacher pointed out that looking at her light-brain during class and not standing up to answer questions was highly impolite, Jiang Qianyu “humbly” corrected her behavior for the rest of the period. She began to “attentively” listen to the lecture, at least straightening her back and keeping her eyes on the podium…
Yet no matter how the teacher looked at her, he felt Jiang Qianyu was spacing out.
In fact, the teacher himself was also somewhat distracted. He couldn’t wait for the class to end so he could rush to the laboratory and verify if the girl’s words were true.
Finally, the dismissal bell rang.
The teacher practically flew out of the classroom in his haste…
Watching the teacher’s hurried departure, Jiang Qianyu curled her lips into a faint smile.
The discovery that pairing Puluo granules with Heihua granules could cause an Alpha’s death was actually an effect Jiang Qianyu had researched and discovered herself. No one else in the world knew about it besides her, and she’d deliberately revealed this finding.
Blue Star’s medical development was simply too backward!
So backward that Jiang Qianyu didn’t dare imagine what would happen if Xuyi was wounded on the battlefield and fell into the hands of these people…
After settling on her goal of becoming a military doctor, Jiang Qianyu had looked into it: graduating as a military doctor on Blue Star took four years, while Song Xuyi’s mech major only required two. This meant there’d be a two-year gap during which, if Song Xuyi were injured on the battlefield, she’d have to rely on other military doctors for treatment…
How could Jiang Qianyu dare let Song Xuyi fall into the hands of such low-caliber military doctors?
Furthermore, Jiang Qianyu had also learned that Blue Star was desperately short of outstanding military doctors, and the teachers lecturing here held positions in the military as well…
Thus, Jiang Qianyu made up her mind: within these two years, she’d teach these instructors more pharmacological knowledge. She didn’t expect to turn them into brilliant military doctors, but at the very least, they must not drag Song Xuyi down…
Of course, apart from Song Xuyi, Jiang Qianyu had another reason for instructing these teachers: she understood the Emperor’s temperament better than anyone. Blue Star was now so developed and prosperous; once the Emperor found out, a conflict would inevitably erupt in the future. And the stronger Blue Star became, the more threatened that control-freak Emperor would feel…
Jiang Qianyu was willing to do anything as long as it made the Emperor unhappy.
With these thoughts in mind, she welcomed her fourth period of the morning.
“This course is 《History of Pharmaceuticals》, totaling thirty hours. It is mainly designed to introduce you to the developmental history of pharmaceuticals and the outstanding predecessors who researched them. Today, we will begin our first lesson…”
“As you all surely know, the Jiang family stands as a monumental pillar in the history of pharmacology. We will spend fifteen hours studying this brilliant family…”
Jiang Qianyu hadn’t expected her fourth class to be about this.
Staring at the familiar faces on the 5D screen, Jiang Qianyu felt a freezing chill seep through her entire body. She bit down hard on her lower lip. Her rational mind told her that everything was already in the past, yet the dying screams and struggles kept flashing before her eyes…
Her mother had been chewed to pieces alive by the Zerg, and her sister-in-law was two months pregnant when she died… One after another, members of the Jiang family had charged to the front lines. When the youth fell, the middle-aged took their place, until finally, it was her ninety-year-old great-grandfather, brandishing his walking cane, who was pierced through the heart by the Zerg…
And the culprit behind all of this…
Jiang Qianyu looked up in the direction of Imperial Star, her eyes slowly turning bloodshot.
At lunchtime, the sky was overcast with dark clouds, and a heavy downpour began.
After having lunch, Song Xuyi returned to the dormitory for her midday break, only to find that Jiang Qianyu hadn’t returned the entire time.
Song Xuyi had originally planned to use some casual chatter as an opportunity to bring up the story of the Jiang family and gauge Jiang Qianyu’s attitude toward them. Since Jiang Qianyu hadn’t returned, she could only shelve the plan for the time being.
Song Xuyi initially didn’t take Jiang Qianyu’s absence during the midday break to heart, focusing instead on previewing tomorrow’s material. That was until evening, when a group of Alphas from the student affairs office suddenly swarmed into her dormitory.
“Where is Jiang Qianyu? She skipped all of her afternoon classes!”
The military academy was run under military-style management and held highly strict standards for its students. Skipping an entire afternoon of classes would result in severe punishment.
Only then did Song Xuyi realize something was wrong.
It had been pouring rain all day. Where could Jiang Qianyu have gone?
Song Xuyi joined the student affairs office’s search for Jiang Qianyu.
However, even after searching every single classroom in the medical school, Song Xuyi could find no sign of Jiang Qianyu. According to Jiang Qianyu’s classmates, she’d lost contact right after the fourth period ended…
And that fourth period happened to be the 《History of Pharmaceuticals》 class.
…
Connecting this with the table of contents she had previewed for 《History of Pharmaceuticals》, Song Xuyi began to understand.
She turned her steps and headed toward the school’s Experimental Building.
Of the medical school’s eight laboratories, Song Xuyi checked the first few but found no trace of Jiang Qianyu—until she reached the very last one.
A bolt of lightning as thick as a child’s arm ripped through the heavens, illuminating the dim room. Inside, lit by a single lamp as small as a bean2, a thin, small figure stood before the lab bench, adjusting her formulation.
Jiang Qianyu’s condition looked terrible.
She was completely drenched, looking as if she had just been fished out of water, her clothes still dripping. An unusual, feverish flush had broken out on her pale cheeks, while her normally rosy lips were entirely devoid of color. Her eyes, fixed on the test tube, were filled with an icy detachment.
As if sensing something, Jiang Qianyu raised her head to look outside the door. Upon realizing it was Song Xuyi, her pupils shrank, the ice in her eyes suddenly shattering as she instinctively shielded the mixture behind her…
“Xuyi,” she rasped, as if wanting to explain. She took two steps forward, but her body went completely limp, and she collapsed…
The author has something to say:
X﹏X, I finished my training today and took the bus home.
I am too tired, so I only wrote this much.
If nothing goes wrong, I will write six thousand words tomorrow.
This is a new story I plan to start. If any of my little angels are interested, please click in and bookmark it~
Chica it’s your first day of school 😭😭😭
