"You aren’t thinking of having me supply this drug to you so you can sell it, are you?"
Xiao Siyuan glanced at Li Zheng with suspicion while fiddling with something.
"I’m telling you in advance, producing this drug isn’t as easy as you think. Mass production is nearly impossible. Don’t even think about making a profit from it."
Li Zheng felt embarrassed instantly, "Are you a worm in my stomach or something? How can you guess what I’m thinking?"
Xiao Siyuan smirked, "It’s written all over your face, do I even need to guess?... Done!"
As he spoke, he seemed to have finished something and finally freed up his attention to recheck the effect of Li Zheng’s injury recovery.
"Not bad, the drug’s effect is about what I expected. In one more minute, you can be up and walking normally. Just to be safe, wait at least half an hour before full-on combat. You should rest until then."
The robotic arms controlling Li Zheng on the medical bed released him completely. Li Zheng lay there obediently, carefully feeling that the pain from his ribs and internal organs was almost gone.
"Wow? This drug is impressive; I think I won’t need half an hour and can fight fully now!"
He jumped off the medical bed, trying to move his limbs, looking lively and vigorous, unlike the dying state from two minutes ago.
"Tsk!" Li Zheng grimaced with a sudden chest pain when stretching his arm, drawing a sharp breath.
Xiao Siyuan said with a half-smile, "Didn’t I remind you, get up in a minute? Xiao Lin, see what happens when you don’t follow medical advice."
"Hee hee, Doctor Xiao, you’re so bad." Lin Fengjiao chuckled, all her worries disappeared seeing Li Zheng recover so quickly, and she felt considerably relaxed.
"Hey, how do you talk?" Xiao Siyuan glared at her. "You say that, next time if he comes for treatment, I’m not attending to him!"
"So, because of one word from her, you won’t care if I live or die in the future?" Li Zheng was dumbfounded; how come he was the unlucky one here?
"That’s called fan behavior, idol pays!" Xiao Siyuan said irritably, "You have no idea, she can mention you hundreds of times in a day if she can’t see you, I almost have calluses in my ears."
"Heh, do I really have such charm?" Li Zheng touched his completely hairless, egg-smooth face and cheekily noted, "Maybe it’s just the advantage of being handsome; it’s a given from my parents, not something others can envy."
Xiao Siyuan was both amused and annoyed by his shamelessness, pointing at Li Zheng and said to Lin Fengjiao, "This is the star you’re following!"
"I... I am not..." Lin Fengjiao bowed her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito.
If she weren’t covered head-to-toe in bandages, her face would surely be red.
Doctor Xiao was really something, saying whatever came to mind.
"Enough, enough." Li Zheng interrupted, asking, "Seriously, how much APX-1 is left?"
"In the end, you still have your mind on it," Xiao Siyuan replied helplessly, "Besides the three used for testing effectiveness, there are seven left."
"Seven? That’s quite a lot!" Li Zheng was overjoyed, thinking there would only be about two or three left, considering how Xiao Siyuan said production was difficult.
It was much more than he’d expected.
"Give them all to me, and I’ll auction them off later. You set a base price, and we’ll split the profits evenly."
"All of them? You’re dreaming!" Xiao Siyuan called over three blue-colored vials with a wave and tossed them to Li Zheng, "I can only give you this many; the rest I need to keep for emergencies in case someone gets hurt."
Only three vials...
"Fine." Li Zheng looked at the vials, ready to speak, but was drawn in by the annotations on them.

"What kind of dumb name is this? Were you just busy modifying this thing?"
Xiong Gen, such a tacky name, what kind of uneducated person thought of it?
Just calling it Manly Glory is way better!
"Just tell me, do you want it or not!" Xiao Siyuan said with a sour face, slightly offended.
Li Zheng stored the vials with a flip of his hand, "You’ve given them to me, of course, I want them."
"And you still talk nonsense." Xiao Siyuan waved him out, "Leave if you have nothing else. I still need to work on developing a second drug."
"Oh, I’ll send you the base price via private message."
As he was about to close the door, Old Xiao remembered the auction’s base price.
Li Zheng shouted, "Let me know when the second drug is developed!"
"Preferably before the auction!"
"So I can arrange everything accordingly!"
Bam!
A loud noise came from inside the house, like something hit the door.
Li Zheng scratched his head and asked Lin Fengjiao, "Am I really that annoying?"
Lin Fengjiao gently shook her head, "How could Brother Li be annoying?"
"Oh? Then Old Xiao must have taken the wrong medicine today, to be so annoyed." Li Zheng shrugged his bald head, "I’m off, see you at the event later."
"Mm, see you at the event." Lin Fengjiao watched as Li Zheng disappeared with his pet and mechanical companion, unable to hide her reluctance.
As soon as Li Zheng left, Xiao Siyuan opened the door a crack, "Is he gone?"
"Gone." Lin Fengjiao replied without understanding.
"Then I can laugh wantonly, wahahaha..." Xiao Siyuan closed the door, and exaggerated laughter came from inside, "Damn it, it’s hilarious, such a shiny bald head without a single hair, and he’s so self-obsessed! Hahaha... Damn..."
