I Am A Prodigy

Upon reaching an agreement, Dong Miaomiao took out a USB drive.

She looked at the USB with a regretful gaze in her eyes, then quickly passed it over to Ye Lingchen. “Within this are the medicinal formulas of our company. Take it.”

Ye Lingchen nodded as he received the USB from her.

“Boss, what are you planning to do?” Dong Miaomiao asked bluntly.

“I’m planning to purchase a piece of land for our company headquarters and production facility for our medicine. If we’re doing this, we’ll make it the best!” Ye Lingchen stated, then continued, “Furthermore, we need to make some very special medicine in order to attract attention. Therefore, I’ll be doing some research in the near future. During this period, you might as well just stay here.”

“Special medicine?” Dong Miaomiao shot a glance at Ye Lingchen and held back her urge to retort.

It might be easy for Ye Lingchen to make such claims, but that was no small matter.

Medicines were extremely sensitive. It was not something that could be researched just like that. Moreover, if it was ineffective or even had side effects, that would be the end for the company. ‘This guy really dares to dream big.’

If she knew the piece of land Ye Lingchen planned to purchase was an entire island, she would most likely retort at his statements again.

“Oh yeah, are you still in contact with the old employees? They must be those you trust!” Ye Lingchen asked.

“Yeah.” Dong Miaomiao nodded.

“Then you start contacting them to get ready soon.”

With that, he went upstairs with the USB drive in a hurry.

Accessing the USB drive, there were over a thousand documents within. There were some basic and advanced medicine formulas. Apart from that, there were also some incomplete medicines and research notes on herb properties and their compatibility.

Although the contents were somewhat similar to Chinese Medicine, it was not the same. Its contents were so much more detailed compared to Chinese Medicine.

In Chinese Medicine, one would only identify the medicine and its uses, then provide treatment using compatible herbs.

As for this, it went to the extent of recording the molecular structure and elements of the herbs, then using the medicinal herbs’ unique properties and medicinal effects to create a medicine. In the process, they might even add some materials to help bring it together.

Therefore, this part of the contents was related to Chemistry!

The above were all Ye Lingchen’s wild guesses. In truth, he had no idea how the system categorized things.

Speaking of Chemistry, during Ye Lingchen’s time in university, he had already read through all the Chemistry related books. Apart from that, when he destroyed Elder Hiroshi’s genetic engineering lab hideout, he had also gained some Chemistry related knowledge.

After all, knowledge was relevant across fields. Even when one specialized in a particular field, one would occasionally require knowledge from another field to work.

Despite that, his Chemistry skill proficiency had only reached 72 percent.

He wondered if he would be able to raise Chemistry to full proficiency this time. Logically, it should be possible.

With that, Ye Lingchen opened the first document.

[Common Flu Virus and Medicine Formulation.]

Its introduction was on the common flu. It was just an analysis from the Western Medicine standpoint. Ye Lingchen’s Western Medicine was already at full proficiency, therefore he decided to skip the entire section and went ahead to the medicine formulation step.

Production of cold remedy granules.

Production of Isatis tinctoria.

Production of Amoxicillin.

…

‘Self-studying Common Flu Virus and Medicine Formulation, Chemistry proficiency +1.’

‘Self-studying Common Flu Virus and Medicine Formulation, Chemistry proficiency +1.’

‘Self-studying Painkillers-Ingredients and Production, Chemistry proficiency +1’

‘Self-studying Analysis of Liver and Kidneys Healthcare Products, Chemistry proficiency +1’

…

Ye Lingchen read through over a thousand document folders. Some were purely text documents, some were made into an app, while some were in documentary video form. A lot of the text documents were over a hundred pages. Even after reading it end to end, his proficiency would merely increase by one, getting harder as he went on.

The entire process was dull and boring. However, Ye Lingchen tirelessly enjoyed the bliss of learning and was fully immersed in it.

Time ticked on. When the last point of proficiency was filled, the corner of Ye Lingchen’s lips curled to form a smile.

As a prodigy, only newfound knowledge would bring him such happiness.

At that moment, his brain was filled with all sorts of information related to Chemistry. Right then, Ye Lingchen could fully analyze the molecular structure and atomic structure of anything placed in front of him. He even had countless methods to break them down and reassemble them again.

The next instant, Ye Lingchen began showing a weird expression.

He noticed that after gaining more knowledge, it was good complementary support.

Take Chemistry with full proficiency as an example. It was able to form a perfect synergy with the Wood Spirit Constitution. The two skills were drastically different, but they were connected!

That was because making medicine required materials. The medicinal herbs were the basic foundation, especially the unique medicinal herbs such as ginseng and Angelica sinensis. Some might even require specific maturity!

These days, it would be extremely difficult to obtain those precious medicinal herbs. However, with the Wood Spirit Constitution, it was different for Ye Lingchen. He could plant them himself!

Amazing. Absolutely amazing!

It would seem that farming had quite a bright future.

Ye Lingchen’s heart started overflowing with excitement. He could already see himself purchasing an entire island for himself!

In his excited state, he took out his phone and was just about to call Lin Ao to ask about the matter of that island.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang, and the caller ID showed that it was from Lin Ao!

“Big Brother Lin.”

“Brother Ye, congratulations on your rise to fame. Even China Morning News is reporting about you. You’re now a hero to the public, hahaha…” Lin Ao laughed heartily.

“Yeah yeah, you don’t have to make fun of me.” Ye Lingchen was laughing as well. He had also gone online. It was no doubt a highly debated topic all over the internet. The first was due to the news segment. Another reason was due to a video of him beating up the conmen that was posted online, bringing about more cheers.

Taking down conmen and human traffickers earned him the moniker of villain bane by many people. Some of them were instead trying to ride on his coattail by praising him, calling him God Ye.

“Big Brother Lin, how are things going in regards to the island?” Ye Lingchen asked eagerly.

“Part of the reason I made this phone call is because of the island.” Lin Ao paused for a moment, then continued, “I’ve told you previously that you would need to be at least of the Lower-Class Guardian rank before you’re qualified to purchase an island. Based on your current merits, the Warrior’s Department is discussing about giving you an advancement to the rank of Lower-Class guardian. It’s just that…it would require everyone’s acknowledgment for it to pass. However, you hardly make an appearance, so a small group of people within the department are doubtful…”
