Chapter 436: Ji Yue’s Feelings

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After they determined the important issues, Ji Ye ended the meeting and entered the medical department under Eagle Peak, where a lot of herbs were planted. After two barriers, there was a metal door with a sign that said “Restricted Area”.

“How is it going?”

The other side of the metal door was a laboratory-like environment. There were various flasks, crucibles, and even electronic instruments, as well as pestles, earthen bowls, knives, and herb grinders. It was a combination of the West and the East and the ancient and the modern worlds.

A few new players lay in the wooden beds in the room. The skin of the two of them had a strange blue sheen, and they were trembling uncontrollably.

Hearing Ji Ye’s question, one of the researchers wearing a Sludge Monster skin protective suit replied, “This virus is highly infectious...”

He was an old Caucasian man with a white beard, blue eyes, and was at least 80 years old.

The man was called Pigg House and was one of the four specialists that Dragon City had invited. On Earth, he was a leading expert in modern medicine.

His research involved various fields including genetics, pharmacy, virology, and biology.

He had won the Nobel Prize for medicine once and was a globally influential figure.

Apart from the publicity a foreigner would bring, Ji Ye had chosen this man for his influence in the medical field.

Because of its background, Dragon City couldn’t focus on developing technology like some futuristic settlements did when they ran a business on Earth.

Instead, they chose to focus on medicine and pharmacy.

Although Ji Ye’s Fusion talent could solve the problem of figuring out the ingredients of most of the resources they exchanged, to replicate them and make them into medicine, they still needed a professional like House.

“Mr. Ji, I mean, Master Ji, just call me Li Shuisheng... What we have here is some unusual virus!”

The old man had been examining the patients and had his back to Ji Ye. Once he realized who was asking, he turned around and started speaking Chinese with a heavy accent.

Compared with the director who wanted to shoot a film about Dragon City without knowing the first thing about the culture, this expert took his job much more seriously.

Not only had he researched the Chidragon culture and customs before he came here, but he had even given himself a Chinese name as well.

Despite his less than fluent Chinese, they could easily communicate with each other.

Because next to Pigg, a female assistant who also wore a protective suit and resembled Ji Ye in her appearance was working as an interpreter.

“The yakshas’ blood indeed contains a kind of potent virus that can invade the human body through the digestive system. It affects the central nervous system and the symptom somewhat resembles that of the rabies virus!”

Ji Yue’s palms were sweating and stuttered a little when she translated for the old man.

Because she still found everything very unreal.

As a third-year student of the University of Traditional Chindragon Medicine in Guan City, apart from English, all her grades were only above average.

Compared to her cousin, who had been the top student of Yang City, she had far less impressive grades.

Once she finished college, the best job she could think of was to have her parents pull some strings and work in a local Chidragon traditional medicine hospital.

Because of the Land of Inheritance that opened up a few months ago, Chinese medicine seemed to gain its popularity again, thanks to the traditional Chidragon background in the settlements.

But for somebody like her who didn’t get a chance to go into the Land of Inheritance, nothing had changed. The most significant difference, if any, was the possible choice of working for a pharmaceutical firm one day.

Half a month ago, the identity of the mysterious City Master of Dragon City had finally been revealed.

Only then did Ji Yue find out in astonishment that the head of the top settlement on Earth was the cousin she had worshiped since she was little. However, after what happened to her uncle, her cousin withdrew from Jyoto University despite the opposition of other family members. After that, he gradually fell out of touch with them.

The master of Dragon City.

The actual power-holder of the only Transcendent settlement on Earth.

At first, she didn’t understand what that meant.

Then her classmates, teachers, professors, and even the principal heard about her relationship with Ji Ye, and they went into her classroom and dormitory. The looks on their faces were so excited that they looked insane.

Several men in black trench coats working for the “special department” showed up shortly afterward and handled the situation for her.

A few hours after that, she finally understood what that title meant.

Now that she had entered the Land of Inheritance, she had become the assistant to Professor Pigg, a legendary man in the medical field.

The professor was said to be extremely strict with his assistants, but he was very kind to her. He even taught her some basic practices in person.

Everything felt so unreal.

“Yue, you’re doing a nice job, but there are two inaccuracies in your choice of words.”

Ji Ye smiled and nodded at Ji Yue, who was obviously very nervous.

In fact, Ji Ye didn’t need an interpreter to communicate with Pigg. His English was better than Ji Yue’s.

After all, he used to be the top student in Yang City and had traveled all over the world for survival activities in extreme environments.

He had given Ji Yue the job to train her because he needed to stay in the Land of Inheritance all the time and would need someone he could trust to run the business of Dragon City Group on Earth, especially in the core medical aspect.

“Experiment shows that it is highly contagious, and because it’s a new virus, we don’t have any antibodies. Once it’s in our system, we’re almost definitely going to be infected.”

Seeing the calming look in Ji Ye’s slightly golden eyes, Ji Yue calmed down as well.

Her translation became very fluent after that.

“Moreover, this virus is very resilient to the external environment and is likely to cause a pandemic. Once it spreads out, we may face something like what happened in Resident Evil!”

Old Pigg sounded rather concerned.

“Resident Evil? Is it going to be that bad?”

Before Ji Ye could speak, Ji Yue blurted out.

She then realized that it didn’t sound professional, so she immediately changed her tone.

“Is it going to be as serious as that?”

But Ji Ye only shook his head with a frown.

“The virus from the two land yakshas aren’t as contagious as that, but the virus in the blood of the silver flying yaksha is frighteningly active and contagious!

“I only injected 1ml into this man’s arm, but in as short as an hour, he’s like this.”

Old Pigg pointed at a man on the bed. His face had turned completely green, and even his eyes gave off a green light. The look on his face was ferocious as he trembled violently. freewebnovel.c(o)m

These men in the lab weren’t captured natives. They were new players of the fourth batch that had volunteered to take part in the experiment.

Every task in the Land of Inheritance could earn a player EXP or even Honor. In becoming the experimental subjects, they could also earn contribution points of the settlement.

So, why not?

Plus, the medicine Dragon City used in a human experiment wouldn’t be an ordinary object. Maybe it would be some pills that could give one Extraordinary power.

Because of that speculation, when the medicine department called for volunteers, hundreds of new players signed up.

But none of them had anticipated that it wasn’t a medicine that was tested this time, but a virus.

Moreover, the yaksha virus was so potent that even a top medical scientist like Pigg couldn’t control it.

Of course, Pigg was bold enough to experiment with the yaksha virus on human subjects because Ji Ye could always save the day with his Heal talent. freewebnovel(.)com

“Luckily, apart from the blood, the virus is found in his head area, which means that we won’t be infected by a scratch. Moreover, there isn’t much virus in his saliva. Theoretically, we’ll have enough time to treat the people that are infected from the bite wound... Also, although we don’t have any antibodies, the stronger a person is, the slower the virus will take effect,” said Pigg.

The Yellow Turban Army scout showed effect so soon because he had accidentally drunk a lot of fresh yaksha blood.

“But it’s contagious enough to be used as a biochemical weapon.”

The look on Ji Ye’s face was grave.

That was something they needed to take seriously.

Because the yaksha blood was toxic, it meant that they could try to poison Dragon City.

It would be easily achieved. All they needed to do was to throw a dead yaksha into Dragon City’s water source.

Based on Pigg’s calculation, an ordinary land yaksha had enough blood to contaminate a well. If a flying yaksha were drained, its blood could contaminate a medium lake about 200m in its diameter.

“Starting from today, everyone in Dragon City will drink the water flowing out of Frigid Water until we defeat the yakshas. Examine the water carefully before drinking!” Ji Ye said after some thought.

Frigid Water flowed out of Dragon Peak, and to some extent, the water was purified by the legendary true dragon. It was very clean.

The entrance of Frigid Water was guarded by the Extraordinary Rank 9 Li Chunfeng and the Celestial Globe. Even a flying yaksha wouldn’t be able to sneak in and poison the water.

But their main problem wasn’t Dragon City.

Guobei County was their top priority.

Ji Ye was going to go there with Dian Wei after sunrise. They would probably set up a sub-settlement there to attract the attention of the yakshas and the Yellow Turban Army.

The water source there wouldn’t be as secure, and they would be in trouble if the yakshas decided to use poison. He couldn’t use Heal on all the residents of Guobei.

After all, using the talent skill would cost him his own share of power of providence.

Therefore, they had to find an antidote first.
