Chapter 466: Chapter 270: Is Blue Star a Person? Sparks Discussion (2)

"That’s a wild thought!"

"Why do I feel like the rain outside really has gotten a lot lighter?"

"It can’t be that it’s really solidifying into scabs and blocking the rain, can it?"

"That’s just your imagination. It hasn’t gotten lighter at all. Our fleet has been monitoring the rainfall, and there’s been no significant change!"

"And here I was worried we’d have problems if we got covered in scabs!"

Seeing the discussion in the regional channel, Wang Jun made a point to ask the rainfall monitoring team.

"No drastic fluctuations in precipitation!" the meteorology department responded immediately.

"Report any abnormalities up the chain immediately!" Wang Jun reiterated.

"Yes, sir!"

By now, Ren Yuanyang had already returned to his residence.

Qin Haonan, who was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone, looked up and saw him, immediately asking, "Chief, they actually found a hemostatic agent in the rain!"

Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. "Yes. This world is becoming more and more unfamiliar."

Lu Jiamei brought out the dishes Xin Wan had prepared and said, "Is the world really healing itself?"

"How is that possible?" Qin Haonan put down his phone and stood up, walking toward the kitchen. "It’s just a coincidence, like how nature has hemostatic herbs!"

Lu Jiamei paused, then nodded. "I suppose that’s true. In this world, all things are interconnected and counteract each other. Since there’s bleeding, it’s possible for a hemostatic agent to appear."

"Sister Mei, you’re really getting philosophical!" Qin Haonan said, sounding exasperated as he carried two plates out from the kitchen.

Ren Yuanyang shot him a look. "If you had ever bothered to properly read the Daoist Classics, you would know this basic principle!"

"Huh? That’s basic knowledge?" Qin Haonan was stunned.

"You really should read a book now and then," Ren Yuanyang said, his tone earnest and pleading.

"Okay!" Qin Haonan agreed readily.

"You always agree so smoothly, but you never follow through." Ren Yuanyang was speechless. He then looked around and asked, "Is Elder Hua not coming back for dinner again?"

"He’s very busy right now. A lot of people are going to him for treatment!" Qin Haonan explained.

"Since when did traditional Chinese medicine get so popular?" Ren Yuanyang asked, surprised.

"Ever since everyone found out the medicine used for the previous viral infection was formulated by Elder Hua, his clinic has been packed!" Qin Haonan spread his hands. "Plus, his treatments have been instantly effective these past couple of days, so his reputation is growing."

"Even so, you should remind him to rest," Ren Yuanyang said with a slight nod.

"We have, but Elder Hua is enjoying himself. We can’t stop him!" Qin Haonan said helplessly.

"How was the market today?" Ren Yuanyang asked casually.

"It was bustling!" Qin Haonan immediately began to describe it vividly.

Just then, Hua Lingfang walked in from outside with Hua Wen.

Qin Haonan paused, surprised, and asked curiously, "Elder Hua, are you done with your patients?"

"Everyone’s constitution is quite good now. The ones who came to see me mostly had old ailments, and I’ve basically taken care of them over the past two days," Hua Lingfang replied with a smile.

The survivors with poor constitutions had already been weeded out by the great flood.

Xin Wan immediately got up and brought two sets of tableware for Hua Lingfang and Hua Wen.

Hua Lingfang thanked Xin Wan, then asked, "Chief, did they really extract a hemostatic substance from the blood rain?"

Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. "Yes."

"Can they determine if that hemostatic substance is artificial?" Hua Lingfang asked.

Ren Yuanyang paused, then shook his head. "That’s very difficult to determine. It’s a substance we’ve never seen before. Why do you want to confirm this?"

"If it’s artificial, it could have been deployed by an Advanced Civilization. If it formed naturally, that’s something else entirely," Hua Lingfang replied in a low voice.

Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly. "Mm, I’ll talk to Wang Jun and see if the lab can determine that."

"This world is becoming harder and harder to understand," Hua Lingfang lamented.

"We can’t control how it changes right now. If we want to survive, we can only adapt to its changes," Ren Yuanyang said. "So there’s no need to agonize over it."

Everyone nodded.

"I see the surrounding houses are almost finished. We can have Si Youqin and Yu Ren move in," Ren Yuanyang said, changing the subject.

Lu Jiamei nodded. "Some of the furniture isn’t finished yet, but it should be done before four in the afternoon."

"Mm, then notify them to move in at four. Tonight, let’s all gather in the square out front. We can consider it a housewarming feast to celebrate the completion of our move," Ren Yuanyang instructed.

"Yes, Chief!" Lu Jiamei replied, then asked, "Should we invite Captain Wang and his people?"

"Yes, invite them," Ren Yuanyang answered.

"Alright, I’ll send out the invitations after lunch," Lu Jiamei replied.

Ren Yuanyang nodded slightly, then said to Xin Wan, "If your parents have time, have them come over too."

Xin Wan immediately shook her head. "They don’t even have time to eat. I doubt they can spare the time to come to the banquet."

Ren Yuanyang frowned slightly. "They still have to eat. If they work themselves to exhaustion, they won’t be able to continue their research."

"That’s what I tell them, too, but now that they’ve become Evolvers, their physical condition is so much better that they’re even more reckless with their research," Xin Wan said helplessly. "If I’d known, I wouldn’t have given them the Evolution Potion!"

"After we eat, I’ll go over and see them," Ren Yuanyang replied.

Xin Wan’s eyes lit up, and she nodded. "Okay, I’ll go with you after we eat."

’In her mind, if the Chief went in person, her parents would have to show him some respect.’

Everyone quickly finished lunch. Lu Jiamei went to notify Si Youqin and Yu Ren, and to send an invitation to Wang Jun’s three-person group.

Ren Yuanyang and Xin Wan, meanwhile, went to the laboratory built especially for Xin Yu.

Xin Yu and Guo Yao were busy in the lab with their team, completely unaware of Ren Yuanyang’s arrival.

It was a lab assistant who saw Ren Yuanyang and Xin Wan and hurriedly tugged on Xin Yu’s arm.

Only then did Xin Yu look up and see the two of them. He handed off the work he was doing to a nearby assistant and walked out of the lab.

"Chief, what brings you here?" Xin Yu asked.

"I came to see how your experiments are progressing and to invite you to join us at Peach Blossom Spring Village tonight," Ren Yuanyang replied with a smile.

Xin Yu frowned slightly, then declined, "Chief, time is very tight right now. I’m afraid I won’t have time to go."

"You still have to eat," Ren Yuanyang pressed.

Xin Yu shook his head again. "There are only four months left. To be honest, I’m not confident I can get results within four months. I need to seize every moment to conduct experiments! I can only eat in the lab. Once I have some preliminary results, I will definitely go to Peach Blossom Spring Village and share a drink with you!"

He had put it so bluntly. If Ren Yuanyang were to insist on inviting him to the banquet now, it would be inconsiderate.

Ren Yuanyang nodded. "Alright. But you must ensure you get basic rest! I’ll have the guards supervise you."

"Okay, thank you for understanding, Chief!" Xin Yu responded happily, then immediately turned and ducked back into the laboratory.

Xin Wan, standing to the side, looked a little disappointed.

Ren Yuanyang said, "I’m sorry."

Xin Wan shook her head. "I’m used to it. Besides, my dad is right. Four months is indeed too short for scientific research."

Ren Yuanyang nodded in agreement.

Xin Wan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "If—and this is just a ’what if’—my parents don’t manage to get any results, you won’t blame them, will you?"

Ren Yuanyang was taken aback for a second, then immediately laughed. "Why would I blame them? Research itself is full of uncertainty. We do our best, and leave the rest to fate."

Before Xin Wan could speak, Ren Yuanyang continued, "But I believe in them. I have a feeling they will definitely get results."

Xin Wan was momentarily stunned, then smiled and nodded. "Meeting you, Chief, has truly been our good fortune."

Ren Yuanyang waved his hand. "Tell your parents not to feel too much pressure. I’ll be heading back now."

With that, Ren Yuanyang left Xin Yu’s laboratory.

Xin Wan walked over to her mother, Guo Yao, and said, "The Chief asked me to tell you not to feel too much pressure."

Guo Yao was slightly taken aback, then replied with a smile, "Understood. It’s truly a blessing to have a leader like him."

Xin Wan clenched her fist and said, "I won’t disturb your research anymore. Go, Mom!"

Guo Yao replied with a smile, "We will!"
