Chapter 2408: line with translation of title

2325 really cannot be eaten; fake, eating it is useless.

Although you can get some benefit, it's still better not to mess with it. Amphetamine still has dependence; if taken orally long-term, it will cause serious problems. Su Yun said seriously.

Gao Shaojie's back was drenched in sweat.

Fortunately, fortunately.

My lover didn't secretly mess around; if he took amphetamine, that would be fucked! If you don't understand, just ask—it's still beneficial.

"This is still okay; if it were Ritalin, it would be even less worthwhile." Su Yun laughed: "The US FDA classifies Ritalin as a Schedule II controlled substance, the same as morphine and cocaine."

"Hmm. In 'Deadly Urgent Dispatch', it says the bar exam is too hard, and the drug the protagonist recommends is this one." Zheng Ren asked.

"Yeah, Xiao Linzi, what kind of smart drug do your classmates use?" Su Yun asked.

"I don't know either." Lin Yuan said, "Anyway, none of them are good."

"There also seems to be modafinil, which has no addiction potential, but it appears to increase people's reaction time, and their cognitive ability doesn't improve either." Zheng Ren said.

"Hmm, results show that psychostimulants can improve cognitive ability in people in extremely poor condition, but they impair cognitive function in healthy people." Su Yun said.

"Modafinil is classified as a Class I psychotropic drug domestically; buying and selling it privately is illegal." Zheng Ren said firmly, "This drug is meant to treat narcolepsy, yet people take it as a smart drug to refresh the mind. Old Gao, this really isn't reliable."

Gao Shaojie had a bitter expression in the video, slightly anxious.

"Old Gao, if your lover bought domestic medicine, there wouldn't be any problem." Su Yun laughed.

"Huh?" Gao Shaojie stared for a moment.

"The ingredients in domestic medicines are... you know, as long as you don't take something bad, it's fine. I guess the most likely possibility is some nutrients for brain nerves, which are usually sold at pharmacies. If you encounter some unscrupulous people, they'll use starch to make the drug, which is useless."

"I've seen research saying it's usually piracetam, which... is useless, but also not harmful." Zheng Ren hesitated.

"This type of smart drug is marketed in Europe, but the piracetam content is low. Boss, you mean taking it is useless, right?" Su Yun laughed.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded, then looked at Gao Shaojie in the video.

"Alright, Old Gao, hurry back and check what your lover bought for the kid; absolutely don't let the child take it." Zheng Ren said solemnly, "If something really happens from taking it, it'll be disastrous."

Gao Shaojie hastily ended the video call.

"Good thing, Old Gao asks when he doesn't know." Zheng Ren also felt a bit afraid.

Given Gao Shaojie's family conditions and his investment in his child, it should be smuggled-back US smart drugs.

Medicine is three parts poison; taking this stuff is truly deadly.

"Last year or the year before, a student fainted in the exam hall after taking modafinil." Su Yun said.

"Although this drug looks safer than the previous two, its effect is also weak, and the key point is that it's illegal." Zheng Ren said, "In 2019, Qingdao Customs seized 1,000 modafinil tablets shipped from India."

"Isn't the college entrance exam coming up? Even my mom asked me if we sell smart drugs in the capital." Su Yun sneered, "It's said that smart drugs in Hai Cheng are in short supply, sold out."

"Sold out—how many people must have bought it..." Zheng Ren sighed.

"How can they be so bold, daring to give anything to their children?" Lin Yuan said in astonishment.

"If it were really effective, it would probably be like the drug in 'Eternal Boundlessness', with extremely strong side effects. Of the three most common 'smart drugs' on the market today, two have strong addiction potential." Zheng Ren said, "Families hoping their sons become dragons... sigh."

The college entrance exam is like this, just as Olympic athletes use stimulants—completely ignoring bodily harm, eyes fixed only on short-term gain.

"Sister Lin, Americans also study desperately." Gu Xiao Ran asked on the side, "I thought Americans all had quality education, graduating happily and easily."

"Impossible!" Lin Yuan looked at Gu Xiao Ran and said, "Every Ivy League study room is open all night; not to mention the sunrise at 4 a. m. in Los Angeles—that's from sunset to sunrise. Otherwise, how could so many people study while taking drugs, unable to study without them, unable to not take them, basically unable to graduate."

"I used to only hear about reducing burdens... hahaha." Gu Xiao Ran didn't know what came to mind, laughed hahaha, "Turns out their lives are harder; studying isn't enough, they also have to study while on medication."

"You're still laughing." Su Yun glanced at Gu Xiao Ran, "Study hard—you can only get into a second-tier college, can't even get into Xiehe, and will end up doing continuing education. Look at your Sister Lin, a heaven's pride."

Su Yun's tone was the same as usual, tinged with harshness.

"Even... Xiehe can't get into..." Gu Xiao Ran's nose soured, almost bursting into tears.

Lin Yuan glared at him, didn't retort. Arguing with this person, a trivial matter could be talked about all day. I still have to write medical records—really no time.

……

Gao Shaojie broke out in a cold sweat, after hanging up the video call he immediately called his lover.

After confirming again that the smart drug hadn't been given to the child, Gao Shaojie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although taking it once or twice wouldn't cause overly strong side effects, it's still not good. Methamphetamine—can that be given to a child? Gao Shaojie was anxious, his mind automatically adding a methyl group to amphetamine.

Zheng Lao Ban and Doctor Su made it clear: of the three known effective smart drugs, two have strong addiction potential, and the other is also a Class I psychotropic drug nationally.

Besides those, they're just useless brain-tonic medicines.

Real drugs can't be eaten, fake drugs are useless—this is where the logic ends up.

He told Liu Zewei to look after a post-op patient, changed clothes, and ran off to drive.

Concern brings chaos; although he knew no disaster had yet occurred, Gao Shaojie's hands on the steering wheel trembled slightly.

He drove a few minutes, felt unable to continue, quickly pulled over, got out to calm himself.

"Am I overemphasizing this?" Gao Shaojie thought. Usually refined, he now seemed flustered and anxious.

His usually crisp clothes were wrinkled, he didn't notice, frowning as he fought the feeling of panic and shortness of breath.

After resting for a long while, Gao Shaojie finally calmed down.

He tidied his clothes, recalling what Zheng Lao Ban and Doctor Su had just said, and felt a fresh yearning to go to the capital.

After the child's college entrance exam ends, I will definitely go to the capital. As for the exam, just work hard; as for the final outcome, no one can say how it will turn out.
