Chapter 349: New Drug

"Very well." Dayiwan nodded. To others, these Mushroom Bombs and hydrogen balloons would be difficult to obtain, but for him, as long as he bribed the key figures and was willing to spend the money, he could get his hands on them.

Because whether it is a Mushroom Bomb or a hydrogen balloon, they all have a shelf life due to equipment aging and various other reasons. Generally speaking, the shelf life of a Mushroom Bomb is twenty years, and the shelf life of a hydrogen bomb is even shorter, usually only twelve years.

Some Mushroom Bombs and hydrogen balloons have a slightly longer shelf life, but they generally do not exceed thirty years.

If a Mushroom Bomb or hydrogen balloon reaches its expiration date, disposing of the expired items is extremely troublesome. Destroying them directly would cause nuclear pollution, and dismantling them to extract nuclear materials is an extremely tedious task.

Dayiwan has extensive connections, and what he can get his hands on are precisely these Mushroom Bombs and hydrogen balloons that are on the verge of being scrapped.

However, this stuff—regardless of whether it is about to expire—can truly explode, and the power is immense, which is enough to satisfy Meng Yifan's requirements.

"However, I need to find someone to verify whether the Spirit Pill in the hands of True Person Meng is truly as you say, and if it can really cure a terminal cancer patient," Dayiwan said.

Meng Fanchen frowned. He only had three Pills in total. If Dayiwan wanted to verify the efficacy first, that meant at least one Pill had to be used. If one Pill was equivalent to one Mushroom Bomb, wouldn't that mean the Pill taken for verification was worth at least one hundred million US dollars? This cost was too high.

"Mr. Dayiwan, how about this: you find a patient who, like you, is in the terminal stage of lung cancer, and we will have them take one Third Grade Pill on the spot to see how the treatment works."

"If my Pill can indeed cure terminal cancer, then for the next Third Grade Pill, you must pay me two Mushroom Bombs equivalent to a 100,000-ton TNT explosion."

"If my Pill cannot treat a terminal cancer patient, then the deal is off, and Francis and I will turn around and leave," Meng Yifan said.

Dayiwan thought for a moment and agreed to Meng Yifan's suggestion. With Dayiwan's connections, he quickly found a patient with the same terminal cancer from a hospital. In order to be as similar to Dayiwan's body as possible, the patient found was almost identical to Dayiwan in terms of gender, height, weight, blood type, cancer location, and even the progression of the illness.

This patient's name was Daniel. He was already terminally ill, had given up on treatment, and was waiting to die at home, when suddenly a doctor from the hospital contacted him, saying there was a new drug for cancer that might be able to cure terminal cancer.

If it could cure the cancer, that would be for the best, and it would be as if the hospital had treated him for free. If there were serious side effects, or even if it led directly to his death, the hospital was willing to pay Daniel's family one million US dollars.

They asked him if he wanted to give it a try.

Daniel was not stupid; he knew the doctor's words meant they were using him as a lab rat for a clinical trial. But he was already in agony from the cancer, and even if he didn't take the new drug, his life was already counting down.

To tell the truth, during the time he was waiting to die at home, Daniel had even attempted suicide, but for various reasons, he had not succeeded.

Therefore, after hearing the doctor say that if he died from taking the new drug, they would pay one million US dollars in compensation, Daniel was tempted. One million US dollars was an astronomical figure to Daniel; even if he were healthy and worked hard his whole life, he would never earn that one million US dollars.

Daniel accepted taking the new drug without hesitation; even if he died because of it, he would have no regrets.

Soon, Daniel signed a series of confidentiality agreements with the hospital, and then his eyes were covered, and he was taken by helicopter to Dayiwan's manor.

In Dayiwan's manor, there was a professional medical team with a very luxurious lineup, all of whom were world-renowned masters in the medical field. For ordinary people, getting an appointment with them was as difficult as ascending to Heaven.

But as long as Dayiwan needed them, these top expert doctors from various fields would gather together to serve Dayiwan. This was the charm of money and power.

Daniel was brought into the medical room. There was a glass wall here; people inside could not see outside, but people outside could see inside.

Dayiwan, Xie'er'gai, Meng Yifan, and Francis sat outside the medical room, waiting to verify whether Meng Yifan's Spirit Pill could really cure a terminal cancer patient.

Daniel was a bit nervous. He didn't know what fate awaited him. Wasn't he supposed to take a new drug? Why cover his eyes, tie his hands, and take a helicopter? He didn't know where he had been brought. What were they planning to do? Was it necessary to be so mysterious?

Just when Daniel was at a loss, a sweet female voice came, "Mr. Daniel, you don't need to be so nervous. Please open your mouth now; we are going to administer the new drug to you."

Daniel did not resist. Even if it were a poison, he would swallow it directly. In any case, the compensation agreement he signed with the hospital had already been notarized by a lawyer. If he died because of this, his family could really receive one million US dollars. That was enough.

"Huh!" Daniel felt something round and warm being placed into his mouth, and then that thing melted almost instantly upon contact, turning into a cool, clear stream that flowed down his throat and into his body.

"What kind of new drug is this? It tastes a bit sweet, a bit like ice cream; it's actually quite delicious," Daniel said. Beside him, professional doctors recorded Daniel's words, and there were various medical instruments around that were constantly recording the various changes in Daniel's body.

"Body temperature rising: 37 degrees, 38 degrees, 39 degrees, 40 degrees. My God, his body temperature has already risen to 41 degrees, and now it has reached 42 degrees." The doctors recording the temperature changes were all worried, because for a normal person, if the body temperature exceeds 41 degrees, they could die from the fever at any moment.

If the body temperature exceeds 42 degrees, it is already considered extremely high fever. At this time, the enzymes in the body will gradually lose their activity, causing cell apoptosis, and it is easy to lead to serious complications, such as the death of brain cells, severe damage and apoptosis of myocardial cells, and liver and kidney failure. The danger is immense.

"Mr. Daniel, how do you feel?" the beautiful nurse asked hurriedly.

"Hmm... I feel very comfortable, just like soaking in a hot spring. Ever since I got that damn lung cancer, I have never felt this comfortable again."

Daniel's face, which had previously been furrowed with worry, was now smiling, as if he were enjoying an incomparable pleasure.

Not only that, Daniel had originally been in the terminal stage of lung cancer, suffering from difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and constant coughing, but now his breathing was smooth and he spoke very fluently, all of which indicated that his condition had truly improved significantly.

"This, this is not scientific. His body temperature has soared to 42 degrees. Shouldn't his body be experiencing splitting headaches, weakness, and lethargy, instead of feeling like he's enjoying a hot spring?" An elderly doctor with gray hair looked at Daniel in disbelief.

"Look, everyone, his tumor volume is shrinking. This is truly incredible."

"It really is. In just this short while, the volume of the tumor in his lungs has shrunk by another circle. How is this done? It's simply a miracle."

"My God, what kind of medicine did we just give Daniel? It's truly magical."

These master-level figures in the pharmaceutical industry exclaimed in amazement at the effects of the new drug.

These medical masters even included a winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
