CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100 THIS TRANSACTION WAS A HUGE PROFIT_1

In his room, Zhang Bin was on a call with Gao Si.

Gao Si had undergone considerable changes. Not only had his attire become extremely exquisite, but his residence had also turned into a dazzling spectacle of gold and riches. His entire being exuded an aura of wealth. Clearly, those few novels had made Gao Si a lot of money.

"Hahaha... My brother, I’m so happy to see you," Gao Si said, laughing excitedly. "I just got married and swept up three wives all at once. I bought three villas, too. Still, money’s a bit tight. I was just about to ask for your help."

"Damn, you married three wives? Can you even do that where you are? Is it legal?" Zhang Bin’s eyes turned red with envy and jealousy.

"Over here, it’s the same as your place; we’re only allowed one wife. But who am I? I’m the most famous young author on the entire planet! There are just too many women who adore me. I couldn’t possibly refuse them all, so I had no choice but to marry a few more. Of course, officially, there’s only one," Gao Si said with pride. "It’s all consensual, so the Empire can’t say a thing."

"You’re the man!" Zhang Bin gave a thumbs-up.

Should I also buy a villa in Nanshan County? Then I could live with Liu Ruolan without worrying about Liu Ruomei, that annoying third wheel. As for the two villas in Sanchahe Village, one could be for my parents and sister, and the other for me and Xiao Fang. That way, I wouldn’t get caught, and Xiao Fang wouldn’t get jealous. However, all of this hinges on whether I can develop the breast enhancement and beauty drugs.

With that, Zhang Bin threw the problem to Gao Si.

Gao Si’s brow furrowed. "I remember there were prescriptions like that in the medical data I gave you. They’re quite miraculous, and they’re especially effective."

"The prescriptions are there, but they all use medicinal ingredients from Xuanwu Star. We don’t have most of them on Earth," Zhang Bin said gloomily.

"Then there’s nothing I can do," Gao Si replied.

"Didn’t you say before that you were working on a groundbreaking plan, one that could solve this problem? How’s that plan coming along?" Zhang Bin asked, full of hope.

"I still don’t have enough money. I have to amass even greater wealth," Gao Si said. "Could you give me two more brilliant novels?"

"What will you trade for them?" Zhang Bin asked. He had countless novels, but he couldn’t just give them away for free.

"How about this: I’ll give you an idea that will let you develop those two drugs, and perhaps even more miraculous ones. However, you must give me ten—no, twenty—excellent novels," Gao Si proposed.

Sigh... Gao Si used to be such a pure person, but now he’s become so insatiably greedy. Has wealth changed him? Or is there another reason? Zhang Bin sighed inwardly, but he didn’t hesitate for a moment, saying with a laugh, "Deal."

"Excellent!" Gao Si exclaimed, jumping for joy with a look of utter delight on his face. "The idea I have for you is this: you research the properties of medicinal ingredients yourself and find substitutes. With so many plants on Earth, there are surely all sorts of medicinal herbs. You can gradually find replacements for the missing ingredients in the prescriptions. That way, most of our Xuanwu Star’s formulas can be replicated on Earth. Also, you can take some of Earth’s own formulas and cultivate the herbs with Spiritual Water. That will enhance their effects many times over, making the drugs you produce much more potent."

"Research their properties? How do I do that? I’m completely in the dark," Zhang Bin said with a frown.

"It’s a whole discipline—the study and testing of medicinal properties. There are many books on it. I’ll find them and send them over. Once you’ve read them, you’ll know how to study the properties of medicinal herbs," Gao Si explained.

"Alright, send those books to me as quickly as you can, and I’ll get twenty amazing novels ready for you," Zhang Bin said.

I’ve scored a huge bargain. The books he’s sending are professional tomes of immense value, while the ones I’m sending are just novels that aren’t worth much. If I master how to research medicinal properties, I can truly develop many miraculous formulas. Many of humanity’s incurable diseases could potentially be cured. The implications are enormous.

Now that Gao Si had money, he worked quickly. About three hours later, he had transferred over five hundred books to Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin was dumbfounded. So many books! No matter how good my memory is, it would still take me years to finish them all.

"Why is there so much content?" Zhang Bin asked in surprise.

"The study and testing of medicinal properties is a very complex field that requires a lot of research instruments. Most of these books are about how to manufacture those instruments. Since the energy sources on Earth are different from ours, I also sent over some research materials on primitive energy sources. Naturally, it adds up to a lot of content," Gao Si explained.

Holy shit... I’ve really hit the jackpot this time. Is Gao Si a little dense? Zhang Bin muttered to himself, but he said aloud, "Alright, I’ll study them well."

Then, without hesitation, he had Tutu download twenty excellent web novels from the internet and sent them all over.

Gao Si was just as delighted, as if he had also gotten a great deal. It made sense; such information was outdated by the standards of Xuanwu Star’s current technology—they were all old antiques. Being able to exchange them for so many novels meant he had made a killing, too.

Therefore, both parties were extremely pleased with the trade.

That day, Zhang Bin delved deep into the materials, gradually becoming fascinated and completely engrossed.

In the evening, he called Liu Ruolan. "Honey, there’s a bit of a problem with my promise to develop the breast enhancement and beauty drugs within a month."

"A problem? Didn’t you say it was no problem before?" Liu Ruolan said with a playful pout.

"Here’s the thing. To research these formulas, I need to build a laboratory, and I have to order a lot of custom instruments. As soon as the lab is built, developing those two drugs will be quick. I can also develop other formulas, like cures for cancer, strokes, leukemia, and so on," Zhang Bin explained.

"You only graduated from high school, and you want to build a lab? Are you sure?" Liu Ruolan was astonished. She didn’t doubt Zhang Bin’s medical skills; he might very well be able to develop cures for those terminal illnesses, considering he had cured cancer before. But she still couldn’t believe that Zhang Bin had the ability to use high-tech instruments to conduct experiments.

"Honey, don’t underestimate your husband. I may have only graduated from high school, but I’m much smarter than those graduate students and PhDs. My research won’t be any worse than theirs. I’ve decided to build a laboratory immediately, right on Mantou Ridge. In the future, this lab will surely create many miracles," Zhang Bin said with brimming confidence. "However, I need your help."

"What kind of help do you need?" Liu Ruolan asked curiously.
