"Even if I don’t market it, just selling the patent to related pharmaceutical companies will generate enough profit to push a country into becoming a developed nation, would you believe it?"
Lin Beichen said this with utmost calm.
It wasn’t because he was arrogant, but because it was the truth.
A new drug, from research and development to clinical trials and finally to market, costs anywhere from tens of billions of US dollars to hundreds of billions.
And even then, the effectiveness of these drugs is often disappointing.
But the elixirs Lin Beichen was researching were different.
In this world, nothing is completely harmless; all drugs have some toxicity, and overdosing is always harmful to the body.
Yet Lin Beichen could guarantee that his elixirs had the strongest possible effects with the smallest possible side effects.
And this was only for ordinary medicine; when it came to enhancing physical health and prolonging life, his elixirs were unparalleled.
Not to mention pushing a country into developed civilization, he could even make a pharmaceutical company reach the status of a developed nation.
Lin Beichen wasn’t exaggerating; in fact, he was being as modest as possible.
Bai Yunfei hadn’t experienced Lin Beichen’s elixirs much, but he knew Lin Beichen’s true identity.
Whether it was Zhongcheng Hall or the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, both were part of ancient clans, not to mention the support from official powers.
It’s no exaggeration to say that after acquiring this land, even if he did nothing and just acted as a landlord, with support from these three sides, the profits generated from this land would not be low.
"You, I find you harder and harder to read."
Bai Yunfei said with a bitter smile.
"Mingzhu Port is troublesome, but if you want it, I’ll support you with all my might! It’s just a local tyrant, are we, from the Imperial Capital, afraid of him?"
Bai Yunfei suddenly displayed a grand spirit, making Lin Beichen smile.
After several rounds of wine and five different dishes,
Lin Beichen used Withered and Flourishing Spiritual Qi to heal Bai Yunfei’s injuries, strengthening his body. He only left after the internal damages caused by toxins were fully healed.
Life at the university was calm and long.
The Foreign Affairs College spent a lot on recruitment every year. Although most students were there just to gild the lily and buy a diploma, the funds did allow them to attract some good talents.
Chen Fangzhi from the mathematics department was a genius, but there were also a few other geniuses besides him.
One of them was even of Chinese descent. It’s said he had shown remarkable talent since elementary school and had drawn the attention of top universities before he finished.
The reason he didn’t study abroad wasn’t that his talent fell short, but because he got into some trouble, and his father feared he’d be assassinated by gangs, so he was sent back to the country.
When this person reported to the Foreign Affairs College, he drove a deep blue supercar worth more than five million.
Its appearance instantly crushed the rich boy image Liu Yunxi had built.
Now at the Foreign Affairs College, mentioning the nickname ’rich boy’ mostly referred to this student.
The other prominent figures were similar, coming from wealthy families and possessing extraordinary talents.
As for Lin Beichen,
Since his enrollment, almost no one in the student body discussed him; he was one of the most inconspicuous students on campus.
Apart from attending classes and resting, Lin Beichen occasionally joined a few social activities with Yu Mengjie’s dorm.
It wasn’t that Lin Beichen had his eye on any girl; it was because Liu Yunxi and Yu Mengjie’s relationship was growing deeper, and they used these social events to sneak around for secret dates.
Yan Fuya, smitten by Chen Fangzhi’s charm, often encouraged the two dorms to hang out together so she could chase Chen Fangzhi.
Due to boasting at a previous social event, Lin Beichen had been ridiculed by Su Manni and the girls, who treated him coldly even during social gatherings.
The aloof and proud Yuan Yanan always sat beside Lin Beichen during these events but never spoke a word to him, often leaving early and never initiating a conversation.
According to Su Manni’s gossip, Yuan Yanan’s boyfriend was also the son of a super-rich family, whose wealth rivaled the prominent figures of the Foreign Affairs College. He drove a red Lamborghini reportedly worth two to three million.
Day by day, across the wall from the Foreign Affairs College, Huadu University was brewing something big.
The new professor at the School of Life Sciences, Mr. Lin, was finally going to begin his class.
Inside and outside Huadu University, everyone had long been looking forward to this distinguished professor.
However, within Huadu University, the young teaching assistants watched with cold eyes and hostile faces, preparing to teach this outsider a hard lesson during his first class, to show him the strength of Huadu University.
"Luo Meixiang, have you chosen your courses yet? A new professor at the School of Life Sciences, barely in his twenties, is supposed to be exceptionally young and handsome."
Luo Meixiang was walking on campus, accompanied by a girl dressed in vibrant colors who said coyly.
Both girls were attractive in their unique ways, walking through the southern campus in early spring, like elves in the woods, drawing countless men’s gazes.
The girl was about 17 or 18, with a very voluptuous figure and an incredibly sexy appearance, her eyes seemingly sparkling with water.
Luo Meixiang was speechless. Her little friend was often considered flirtatious, but actually, she was just a playful troublemaker. Although she had dated several boys, she had never let any of them touch her. She was still a pure maiden.
Luo Meixiang was the typical southern beauty, delicate and charming, refreshing like a clear stream, not stunning but utterly pleasant to the eye—a beauty who made one feel at ease.
Her temperament was gentle, her family background outstanding, her demeanor exceptional, and her appearance not bad.
Luo Meixiang had gained quite a reputation at the outset of her university life.
Even though she didn’t dress provocatively, everyone passing by cast their eyes on her, rather than her sexy and fiery friend.
"I see."
Luo Meixiang responded absentmindedly, her mind tangled with other matters.
"The ancestor agreed to help me resolve my fate, but this Lin Beichen relocated me to Huadu University without my consent. I’ve come here, but he’s disappeared... Is he really reliable?"
Recalling the words of her ancestor, she worried deeply.
With her family background, she had nothing to worry about initially and could have carefreely been a wealthy young lady. But after discovering she had the Celestial Killer Lone Star Fate, her life changed completely.
Now, she appeared calm but was merely suppressing her distress forcibly.
"Ah Xiang, even if you haven’t chosen any electives, why don’t you come with me? Let’s go see the handsome professor together!"
The fiery girl said excitedly.
Hearing this, Luo Meixiang set aside her concerns and looked at her helplessly.
"You’re a music major. How do you expect to understand a course from the School of Life Sciences?"
This girl was the epitome of a hopeless romantic, frantically searching for handsome guys as soon as she entered university, vowing to experience a passionate romance within four years.
What’s more, her family background was no worse than Luo Meixiang’s. Even the school authorities overlooked her antics, forcibly placing her in the same dormitory as Luo Meixiang.
This girl was downright impossible!
Luo Meixiang had come to Huadu University because of her fate. To avoid involving her friend, she hadn’t informed her.
In the end, this girl somehow unearthed the clues herself and followed her to Huadu University.
"Understanding the course doesn’t matter; I just want to see handsome guys."
The fiery girl said with a playful smile.
Under her pestering, Luo Meixiang soon found herself pulled into the elective class’s lecture hall.
Though they arrived half an hour early, the classroom was already packed.
One could see that over seventy percent of the students in the lecture hall were girls, and every one of them had an excited smile.
It was evident that their interest in the Life Sciences elective was far less than their interest in the young professor.
