"Now I announce, after the judges’ careful selection, the winning performance tonight is... the X Chronicles by the second grade’s third class!"
"Oh yeah!" "We won!" "Ga consoles! Ga consoles!"
"Mr. Fang, you really did well! What a hidden talent! Your bonus this month is secure, you’ll have to treat us later!"
"Uh... haha! Luck! It’s all luck!"
"Did you direct this play? Don’t tell you brought in so expert scholar as a technical advisor?"
"Cough! Well... although I’m a Chinese teacher, I’m not bad at high school biology either, so I just provided a bit of technical guidance.
Of course, the initiative of the students was also an important factor in winning."
Xiao Yu’s horoom teacher grinned from ear to ear.
What’s called winning without trying? This is it, sothing others can only envy.
Because first of all, you must have a Xiao Yu...
"Hey! Xiao Yu, where are you running off to, accept the award on stage before leaving!"
...
After the performance ended, parents quickly collected their own Divine Beasts.
"Ah~ Xiao Yu, you were amazing! Tonight’s best actress can be none other than you! Co, let your sister give you a hug!" Yan Weiwei hugged Xiao Yu tightly, rubbing her face against Xiao Yu’s with evident enjoynt.
"Xiao Yu, you acted so well." Lin Haitang also smiled and stroked her little head.
"Hehe! It’s all thanks to the great ideas from Uncle, I didn’t expect the act to be this popular."
"Hm? Ideas provided by ng Lang?" Yan Weiwei and Lin Haitang paused briefly.
"Ah! Kind of." ng Lang smiled helplessly, his gaze on Xiao Yu filled with complexity, "Is this the surprise you had for ?"
"Yes! Uncle, don’t think there were only a few hundred people here tonight, wait until we go to the ’Canglang Cup’ competition in a few days – there will be several thousand people in the audience!
By then, with the school’s funding for our costus and props, it will definitely look better and the promotional effect will be even greater!" Xiao Yu said excitedly.
ng Lang rembered that he indeed ntioned wanting to promote that comic before.
But he hadn’t expected that a casual remark would be taken so seriously by the little guy.
"Canglang Cup?" ng Lang confird that it was the second ti he had heard this term.
"Yes! The ’Canglang Cup’ is an annual art performance event for primary and middle school students in Su City. If we win a prize there, it might even be broadcasted on television!"
[Xiao Lu, we should hurry, the car is waiting.
After dinner, we still have to watch the ’Canglang Cup’ performances...]
Is this the hint for ?
So, Ou Lu’s inexplicable survival isn’t my doing but Xiao Yu’s?
Co to think of it, Ou Lu herself is also a master of dicine, maybe she was inspired by Xiao Yu’s performance, which in turn changed her future fate?
Isn’t this the "promotional effect" that I wanted?
"Uncle, can this help you?" Xiao Yu asked with a hopeful face.
ng Lang nodded earnestly.
"Of course! Classmate Xiao Yu, your rit and virtue are exemplary, benefitting the people, your contributions are for today, your benefits for eternity!"
"Uncle, you’re exaggerating too much! Hahaha..."
And not far from them,
"Xiao Kai, didn’t you say you also took part in tonight’s performance? How co I didn’t see you at all?" Wang Xianfu asked his son with a puzzled look.
"What do you an you didn’t see ! I was on stage the whole ti!" The chubby boy, holding a small prize he had just received, was a bit excited.
"On stage the whole ti? How co I didn’t notice?" Wang Xianfu paused.
Thinking back carefully, he couldn’t recall seeing his son on stage at any point.
"Ay! I was the door, the one behind it pulling and flipping the boards!
I had the longest stage ti in our class, and the most unique role!
How about that? Every ti it was my turn to perform, wasn’t the atmosphere in the venue heated?" The chubby boy puffed up his chest, proud as can be.
Wang Xianfu: "..."
Is this it? The longest screen ti? The most unique character?
A door panel? I think you’re just a mallet!
Looking at his own son, who was giddy with pride despite being led astray, a wave of sadness flooded his heart.
The gap between people... why is it so wide...
...
After returning ho, ng Lang sat alone at his desk.
Under the sowhat lonely lamplight, he gazed at the comic book "Chronicles of X" and fell into deep thought.
"X virus, huh..."
The X virus had always been one of the global crises that gave ng Lang a headache.
However, because it had never directly threatened his life, and he had recently been distracted by the looming apocalypse, ng Lang had relegated it to a secondary priority.
It wasn’t that he didn’t take it seriously, but with limited energy, ng Lang had chosen to temporarily bypass this obstacle.
After all, one must first ensure "to survive" before having the privilege to pursue "surviving with quality."
Yet Xiao Yu’s actions today proved that he was not helpless against it.
His comic didn’t provide a direct vaccine production thod or a specific drug formula, but it did offer a simple prediction based on the virus’s mode of infection and ergency treatnt thods.
Although it was just a simple and understandable science popularization work, it was also the "precious words" summarized by dical professionals worldwide after the virus outbreak two years later.
If soone could be inspired by it, then the ti saved during the frantic early stages of the virus outbreak could potentially avoid many detours and save many precious lives that might have otherwise been lost...
"Co to think of it, should I pay more attention to this virus?" ng Lang tapped the comic on the desk with his fingertip.
Not only could he not stand by indifferently in the face of death, but even the vague connection between the X virus and the Berserk disease made it worthwhile for ng Lang to invest so of his n into this.
Berserk disease targeted the elderly with degenerative brain changes and dentia patients, and coincidentally, the X virus could also cause a degree of degenerative brain disorders.
Was this a coincidence or a preditated plan?
"Death Ripple" induced human berserk state because this frequency of sound waves had a hypnotic effect on the human brain.
Or was it that it needed a certain "carrier" within the human body to be successfully induced?
If it’s the latter...
A virus that was rampant worldwide until a super vaccine was developed in 2042 was undoubtedly ng Lang’s top suspect...
"Looks like I do need to make a trip to the hospital," ng Lang stroked his chin.
Of course, not for a physical check-up.
After all, the results of the "high-end VVVIP full physical check-up" had already been spoiled by his brothers in advance, making another one pointless.
He wanted to visit the hospital following the script of the last episode, mainly to observe Ou Lu, the "sample of fate."
Since Ou Lu had survived, there must have been so change in her that led to this survival.
What ng Lang needed to do was find out the cause of this change.
If possible, he wanted to proactively guide this "beneficial change" to continue to amplify.
Could this gentle breeze created by the flapping of his small butterfly wings beco a storm if allowed to fly a while longer?
Facing such a complicated virus that had altered the world’s landscape, received high levels of attention, and left the entire global dical community perplexed, any abrupt spoiler would only bring imnse trouble upon himself.
It might be the best choice to gain a slight advantage bit by bit, subtly reversing humanity’s disadvantages without leaving a trace.
"But isn’t Ou Lu a doctor from Wu City? Why did she suddenly run off to Su City?
Forget it, there’s no need to ask; it’s the arrangent of fate.
But then again, this feeling of wanting a physical check-up and imdiately having brothers reporting for duty is indeed quite convenient and efficient..."
ng Lang suddenly discovered another benefit of "reading."
That is, you lie down, and all your work is done for you.
No sooner had he planned his next move in his mind than his brothers rapidly made it happen, and the next day, the "execution results" were laid out before him.
No queuing, no blood draws, no waiting for lab results, not even the inspection fee to pay, the efficiency was outrageous...
"Now with Cloud Computing, does this count as ’cloud physical examination’?"
