Infantile Spasms Disorder Group.
The group host, Li Xiu, had created this group in order to help infants that were suffering from the disorder as well as those parents who were at a loss.
“This medicine is really difficult to purchase. Can anyone sell a box to me? Even 5 doses are enough.”
“Requesting medicine. Requesting medicine. Requesting medicine.”
“Where on Earth has the medicine gone? The price on the black market is really too high.”
“Yesterday, I bought the medicine for 2500. It’s really too expensive. I can’t afford it.”
In the group, many parents were complaining. Amongst them, many of them came from average families. The boxes of medicine cost several thousand each and they really couldn’t afford it. But even so, they still had to buy it. Besides the black market, no other place sold it.
Li Xiu said, “Don’t be anxious. I have a huge piece of news to announce.”
“Sister Li, what happened?”
“Could it be that you’ve found a new supply of the medicine? I’m very short on the medicine right now. My child’s condition seems to be getting worse and worse.”
Li Xiu looked at the chat history in the group and, in her heart, she felt that those black market distributors were too despicable. They had completely monopolized a lifesaving medicine. They were selling a low-cost medicine for an insane price.
Didn’t they have any virtues?
But to most distributors, as long as they could earn money, they could care less about anything else. Even if there were people’s lives on the line, it didn’t concern them.
Li Xing: “I’ve just received news that the Chinese doctor, Master Lin, is currently trying to tackle infantile spasms. If you haven’t managed to purchase the medicine, don’t worry. There will soon be a cure.”
When the group members saw this, they instantly lost their minds.
But some of them didn’t use Weibo and they had no idea who Master Lin was.
“Sister Li, is this for real?”
“Yeah, isn’t Chinese medicine unreliable? How could he tackle this illness?”
“Let me explain to everyone. This Master Lin is amazing. He is great at both Chinese and Western medicine. He was the one who conquered leukemia. Hence, I believe that infantile spasms will not be a problem for him.”
“I’ve been overwrought because of my child’s condition recently. I haven’t even been looking at Weibo. I didn’t expect that so many things have happened. I support Master Lin.”
“If Master Lin develops the prescription, those black market distributors will be crying.”
Sister Li: “That’s why, even if you didn’t manage to buy the medicine, there’s no need to worry. I believe that the prescription will be developed very soon. Pay attention to this group. I will be following the matter and if there’s anything, I’ll update this group immediately.”
“Thank you for the trouble, Sister Li.”
“Thank you, Sister Li.”
The group members were really too grateful towards Sister Li. After all, she was helping them so selflessly.
…
They worked all the way until nighttime.
Zhao Ming Qing sat down as he was deep in thought. His mind was filled with thoughts about the compatibility of different medicinal ingredients. To him, this domain was still rather foreign. He had to familiarize himself with it more.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan sat there leisurely, thinking about the compatibility of different medicinal ingredients as well.
If he were to just come up with a formula to replace ACTH, that would be too simple. However, he wanted to conquer infantile spasms. It was a prescription aimed at infants, hence, he had to consider it carefully. After all, this was not a game.
However, the difficulty was still very low. It wasn’t high at all.
But up until now, he had only been contemplating the feasibility of the prescription as well as the after effects that it might bring.
“Ming Qing, don’t be impatient. Go back and rest first and come back tomorrow,” said Lin Fan. There was no hurry on this matter. They could come up with the prescription the next day. Otherwise, if they did it too quickly, it wouldn’t be too good.
Zhao Ming Qing couldn’t quite bear to stop but since his teacher had spoken, he had no choice. He nodded. “Got it, Teacher.”
On the whole way back, Zhao Ming Qing kept thinking about how the ingredients should be combined. Even after Lin Fan had stopped the car and dropped him off, he was still thinking.
Lin Fan didn’t even know what to say. This disciple of his had become obsessed.
However, if even such a person couldn’t become a legendary master of Chinese medicine, then probably no one would be able to succeed.
As for himself, he could just become the mentor of a legendary master of Chinese medicine.
Lin Fan wasn’t concerned about such titles at all.
Staying low-key was the best.
The next day!
In the research lab.
Zhao Ming Qing was racking his brains, still thinking about the matter.
Lin Fan looked at the time and felt that it was about time. “Ming Qing, I got it.”
“Huh?” Zhao Ming Qing was startled and he couldn’t quite respond. “Teacher, what did you get?”
“I got the prescription!” said Lin Fan. To other people, this problem might be very difficult but to Lin Fan, it wasn’t difficult at all. However, this disciple of his had racked his brains for so long. He clearly was still inexperienced in this domain. Lin Fan had to nurture him properly.
Zhao Ming Qing’s grave expression instantly brightened up as he exclaimed excitedly, “Teacher, have you really succeeded?”
Lin Fan nodded very calmly. “Mmm. I’ve been thinking for a whole day and might. I didn’t even sleep last night. I just kept on thinking about this. Now, I’ve finally figured it out. This really isn’t something anyone can do. After this is over, I’ll have to rest for a long time. Otherwise, those brain cells that I’ve used up won’t recover.”
Zhao Ming Qing didn’t care about all this. What he really cared about was whether the prescription would work.
Weibo.
“When will Master Lin’s prescription be out? I’m getting anxious.”
“What the hell are you anxious about? This kind of thing can’t be accomplished without at least six or seven days.”
“That’s right. Master Lin is creating a miracle. And this miracle requires a certain amount of time.”
“There’s no hurry. Wait patiently. We’ll leave some comments each day to motivate Master Lin.”
“Right now, the Internet is way too noisy. Everyone is guessing when Master Lin will be done.”
“These dumba*ses. I guarantee that he won’t be done even after he dies.”
“F*ck off, you hater. I hope your whole family dies.”
“D*mn! Hurry up and look at Master Lin’s Weibo. Motherf*cker. The prescription has been developed.”
In an instant, countless netizens rushed to Master Lin’s Weibo.
Meanwhile, those distributors who had been paying attention to this matter saw the Weibo post and were dumbfounded.
It’s been developed?
How can that be? Is he trying to leave us with no way out?
At that moment, in the distributors’ WeChat group, someone started cursing.
“F*ck! I was just about to make a business deal worth tens of thousands. I didn’t expect that guy to suddenly ask for a refund. What a f*cker. I’ve already remembered him. Next time, even if he begs me, I won’t sell my goods to him.”
But before his anger had dissipated, a reply in the group made him feel as if he had fallen into a pool of ice.
“He won’t be begging you. I’m afraid it’ll be us begging them. No one will buy our goods anymore. Master Lin has already developed the prescription and publicized it on the Internet.”
“What?”
Li Xiu had been checking Master Lin’s Weibo every once in a while. When she saw this post, she immediately sent a screenshot of it to the group along with some words.
“The prescription is out. Go take a look quickly.”
“I wish Master Lin a life of peace.”
“It looks like Chinese medicine. I’ll try it right now.”
“Will this prescription really work?”
“I trust Master Lin.”
