Chapter 100: The Sophisticated Egoist

"If you need it, it’s best if we provide it. After all, there’s always a risk of the prescription leaking outside. But no matter how much you need, we can supply it for you. If you want to sell it outside, you only need to cover the cost of the medicine and the workers’ wages, and we can handle the production for you," said Ke Zeming, suggesting the most accommodating approach.

However, he was not the least bit uneasy. Even if he couldn’t secure this, there was always Uncle Xia.

"That works for me, but I also have conditions. I can provide it to you, but the recipe must remain confidential."

This made Ke Zeming, who had originally planned to hide the medicine for himself, feel an upwelling of excitement.

"Alright, we’ll do as you say," he nodded firmly, barely able to sit still. He rubbed his big palm on his pants, looking at the wound he’d just cut. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"It has recovered?!"

"What’s recovered?" Gao Huabin, who had just finished his phone call, walked in and asked curiously.

"I had just cut a wound on my hand, and now it’s completely healed. It doesn’t hurt anymore," Ke Zeming raised his hand and showed it to Qin Kaize and Gao Huabin. Only a scab was left on the surface. He promptly picked off the scab to reveal the white mark below.

Normally, it would take about two weeks for a wound like this to recover to this extent, but now it took less than twenty minutes.

"Is it really this amazing?" Gao Huabin was also excited.

Scratching his head, he looked at Su Yijia, "Sister-in-law, I’ve already called Zhu Zirui, and he’ll be coming over as soon as he finishes work this afternoon. You can tell him what you need, and he’ll prepare it for you in the evening."

"Alright, I’m not in a hurry anyway," Su Yijia replied, planning to buy some groceries. She had been holed up at home for the past few days, and the kitchen was running low on supplies.

"Sister-in-law, I’m in a hurry!" Ke Zeming quickly followed her, a bit out of breath, emphasizing his urgency.

"Zhu Zirui is impatient by nature; he should bring it to you as soon as he gets it. So you can wait for him to deliver the goods in the evening, and I’ll give you the medicine directly. Take it back to test on people. But I have to remind you, this is my first time making it, so I’m not sure about the effects and side effects. You need to be careful. Be cautious." Su Yijia imitated the appearance of those TV doctors and pretended to express her concerns.

"I’ll be careful," Ke Zeming became more serious.

Although he was in a hurry, he knew he couldn’t play with anyone’s health. This ointment would undoubtedly have to be tested gradually and carefully.

"Sister-in-law, if the Great Strength Pill is really effective..."

"Even if it’s effective, you won’t be able to use it. At least 300-year-old ginseng is essential. How many can you get? I’m so broke now because I bought one, and with yours, I can only make twenty pills. One for me, one for Kaize, for our future children, grandchildren... so it comes down to at least ten pills here. With the cost of twenty pills divided into ten, it would have to be sold for at least 700 yuan each, and don’t even mention that I’m counting on it to make money. But the people who buy the Great Strength Pill have to undergo a moral test. So, I’m not in a hurry to sell it."

Su Yijia explained this clearly. But don’t be fooled by her final words. In fact, she just wanted to seal the Great Strength Pills. When they could be auctioned in the future, they would be auctioned directly.

For truly useful people or wealthy adventurers, let alone tens of millions, they might be willing to pay hundreds of millions.

After all, these pills couldn’t be mass-produced and didn’t make someone invulnerable to knives and guns. To people who could afford them, they didn’t pose much harm.

After all, people with this much money didn’t need to get their hands dirty to do anything they wanted.

"Sister-in-law, if I can help you get 300-year-old ginseng, could you make some for me?" Ke Zeming actually knew that things that couldn’t be mass-produced didn’t have much use.

"But if we have twenty or thirty pills, we could use them to train a special elite team, right?"

Su Yijia looked at the man in front of her, her eyes shining with an eager light. She had a pretty good idea of what he was thinking.

"I have to think about it, you just asked for two secret recipes this time..."

She frowned and bit her lip, showing a bit of a sulky demeanor.

While Ke Zeming was in a hurry, he also knew that to a wandering doctor like her, the secret recipes she held were treasures that could only be passed down to apprentices. And these secret recipes, even for a master physician, were not that common.

He had the idea of asking for two secret recipes at once, which might be a bit too much for Su Yijia.

After all, they didn’t have the most pleasant exchange before, and his people were still investigating Su Yijia.

Moreover, this was only their second meeting, and asking for such a favor was a bit too audacious.

"I’ll go buy groceries first. Don’t think about it, just stay with Kaize for a while." Su Yijia hurriedly left, and she wasn’t in the mood to deal with Ke Zeming.

Or maybe she didn’t dare to say much to the man in front of her. Who knows what he might bring up next. Looking at his enthusiastic appearance, it was possible that he would bring up the topic of the Grand Strength Pill again.

Su Yijia had always been a sophisticated egoist. Since she wanted to heal Kaize’s injury, she had to consider whether, after the injury was healed, he would return to his unit.

Although he had already been discharged, it was only because of his injuries.

As long as it could be determined that his physical functions were sufficient to withstand high-intensity training and various difficult tasks, there should be no problem returning.

What Ke Zeming wanted with the Great Strength Pill was probably to build an elite team.

If the medicine he brought back was used for that purpose, there was a good chance he would be in charge of the team.

If there was such a good opportunity, why wouldn’t she give it to her husband?

However, Su Yijia was not opposed to giving some of the medicine to Kaize. But she had to discuss this with him first.

Even if he thought Ke Zeming was trustworthy enough and there was no problem with Ke Zeming setting up the team, the medicine must be delivered by Kaize himself. It was important for the leaders to know your contributions and remember your good deeds.

After all, in their unit, if they wanted to move up the ranks, everyone had to earn their merits and even put their lives on the line. Having a chance to achieve something without risking their lives was worth it, and it was not something to be wasted on her.
