Chapter 923: 922. Inexplicably very chuunibyou
Professor Yu’s arrival successfully alleviated the rather large awkward scene from monts ago, as an old man and a youngster started discussing the ingredients of the pill right under everyone’s watchful eyes.
As if no one else existed, with undivided concentration.
“Just one gram? I think its dicinal properties must be quite potent.”
“That’s precisely why I ca to the laboratory, you can test its dicinal properties… ”
In their back-and-forth, the conversation was interlaced with quite a few herbal terms, slowly drawing in the other mbers who were initially in shock, as they unconsciously followed the two’s train of thought.
Shortly thereafter… not even two minutes passed before they suddenly realized they could no longer keep up with the discussion.
“???”
“Are they really discussing the dicinal use of the Full Moon Plant, the new species discovered just a year ago?”
To be honest, I feel like they’re in a completely different world.”
What kind of terrifying illusion is this? QAQ
“Wait a second, why would the Exquisite Plant be mixed with the Full Moon Plant? Is there any record of this combination in the dicinal texts?”
“Definitely not, that combination is too bizarre. Besides, the Full Moon Plant is a newly discovered herb from just within the past year…”
“My goodness, 20 grams of herbs with two bowls of water, steam-cooked and evaporated into a pill – it wouldn’t affect the dicinal properties of the Full Moon Plant, would it? Considering it thrives in cold.”
Whispers travelled among the crowd, and even ng Yunyun couldn’t help but join the chat.
However, the two main figures originally in discussion had long since left the vicinity of the glass door and were now fixated on the bubbling crockpot.
Professor Chen, originally shocked, now showed a thoughtful expression, his gaze towards Tang Shu growing more complex. In the end, he said nothing and returned to his office in utter silence.
The volu of the discussion here grew louder than before, and as ng Yunyun bore the gaze of everyone looking her way, she mused:
“We could ask Tang Shu later, I want to know if the efficacy of the dicine differs between the liquid and the pill form.”
“Can we ask that?”
“Yes, yes, she seems so serious about her work…”
This sort of engrossnt and imrsion into research, so much like Professor Yu – wouldn’t it be improper to interrupt?
A few mbers stared with twinkling eyes, seemingly asking for permission, but their eyes were brimming with anticipation.
ng Yunyun pulled a face, her sigh tinged with both reluctance and resignation, “No, Tang Shu is actually easy to talk to… You’ll know after a few more days of interaction.”
Why should she tell these prodigies about Tang Shu now? When she clearly wasn’t too fond of that person to begin with!
Crumbs—
Upon hearing that, eyes of the person opposite her lit up instantly, “Then, would it be bad to call Tang Shu? How does ‘Junior Sister Tang’ sound? It’s such a friendly nickna!”
ng Yunyun: “…Do as you please.”
Back when they were researching Snow Soul Grass, she used to call her that too, considering that Tang Shu in her eyes was just a lucky one favored by Professor Yu; as for her ability in traditional dicine? A freshman, nothing impressive.
But subsequent experiences taught her to never underestimate anyone, for the other party was too specialized in traditional dicine, and it would give her a feeling of guilt every ti she uttered the word “Junior Sister”.
Therefore, the nickna “Junior Sister Tang” gradually disappeared as a tacit understanding among the research group back then.
“Let’s go, it’s ti to work.”
Everyone tidied up their slightly wrinkled clothes from a trip to the cafeteria and imrsed themselves in research. The crowd gradually entered through the glass doors.
Only Zeng Xiujing stood still, her expression flickering, her eyes bloodshot with shock, giving her a sowhat fierce look.
The arrival of Tang Shu seed to inject other research mbers with a dose of excitent, boosting everyone’s enthusiasm. Even the simplest task of preparing herbs was done with great energy, making the afternoon’s work efficiency unprecedentedly high.
At 4 p.m., the efficacy of the brownish small pills in Tang Shu’s hand was confird to be of a high standard.
“Good, good, all the data are stable, and there are hardly any side effects. This prescription can be confird,” said Professor Yu as he used tweezers to pick up the tiny pills, one by one, and put them back into the white small porcelain bottle, his eyes gleaming as if looking at a precious piece of art that has existed for thousands of years.
Professor Chen, who joined halfway through, stared at the pill in the vessel, shocked but hesitant.
“Master Yu, shouldn’t we try turning it into a liquid? Given the heat-sensitive nature of the Full Moon Plant, I think the dicinal properties would be more stable in a liquid form after boiling.”
“No need, the form of a pill is easier for storage and preservation.”
What about soup?
Even Tang Shu, the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Tang Sect, did not want to experience the ordeal of drinking dicinal soup when sick.
“But the Full Moon Plant is so precious, even if this prescription is confird to be effective, we shouldn’t rush it. We should try adjusting the dosage…”
Professor Chen’s face showed disagreent, and he wanted to say more but was interrupted by Professor Yu.
Tang Shu had heard Professor Yu ntion Professor Chen before, who earned two PhD degrees at a young age—though now 40, in Master Yu’s eyes, he was still a junior with notable talent but so stubborn thoughts that didn’t quite match his age.
Now it seems he is indeed a bit… stubborn.
Even more than her, a person from ancient tis.
Tang Shu quietly watched the two co to an agreent, standing to one side in silence.
With Tang Shu successfully integrating into the research group that afternoon, she quickly beca a regular there. So much so that when she left the laboratory building that afternoon, she was eagerly pulled into three different groups by the others.
“Why so many?”
The third-year senior sister she had just t chuckled mysteriously, “Of course, there are official and unofficial ones!”
“Um… What does that an?”
“Including the big group of us twelve, there’s definitely one, both Professor Yu and Professor Chen will post important notices in it. Group one and two each have their own smaller group.”
“Let tell you a secret, Master Yu really likes using high-tech stuff like mobile phones and computers, but Professor Chen isn’t as enthusiastic about those.”
The senior sister leaned in closer and muttered this tidbit to her.
Tang Shu smiled and glanced at her phone, noticing she was now in group one, and as for group two, since she wasn’t originally included, they didn’t drag her in.
“So what’s this other one… Oh, it’s called ‘Imperial dical College Assembly of Top Geniuses’?”
This na, it’s unexpectedly cringeworthy—
Who would’ve thought that these geniuses also have such a side, you know it could shatter people’s worldview?
The senior sister laughed flamboyantly, “Don’t you think this na is super cool and amazing?”
Tang Shu: “…”
Study Gods also need to keep up with the trends, not bad.
