Chapter 114: Portable Space Upgrade?

"The preparatory work is already mostly done."

Lu Chen glanced at Luosha, then turned his gaze toward Old Man Shi.

"As soon as Old Man Zhao's forces settle down, we can start construction immediately."

After chatting in more detail for a while, Lu Chen picked up Tingting, who was already feeling drowsy, and returned to the Zhuangyuan.

Lu Chen didn't make any big moves; instead, he returned to his portable space, silently fiddling with the Small Box for a while, looking at the extra Silver Coin on the table.

Only then did Lu Chen realize with a start that he hadn't returned to the portable space for a long time.

After resting well for a night, Lu Chen finally felt like he had come back to life.

Early morning.

Newspaper, coffee, Cigar.

Lu Chen was still sitting in the main seat of the reception hall, flipping through them leisurely.

"Master, a telegram from Manager Li."

Steward Wang walked over directly after seeing Lu Chen in a hurry.

He bowed slightly and handed over the telegram.

"The people from Professor Li's fund have finished their preliminary integration. They are currently in the initial stages of working together."

Lu Chen took the telegram, scanned it at a glance, thought for a moment, and then took out a fountain pen to write down a series of orders.

"Use code number 2. Also, help me schedule a time with Director Wei Er to see when he is free."

Lu Chen paused before speaking again.

"By the way, call Chen Mo over."

Steward Wang acknowledged the order, and before long, Chen Mo walked in.

"Let's go, accompany me to see Xiaofeng; he has suffered recently."

Seeing Chen Mo enter, Lu Chen crushed his Cigar, stood up immediately, and tossed him a pack of 555s.

Chen Mo nodded slightly and led the way.

Walking toward the new Zhuangyuan, the debris of the walls was gone, the lawn had been laid, and the pebble path had been set; although the trees were still a bit bare, it was already taking shape.

If you didn't look closely, it would be easy to mistake it for two separate Zhuangyuans.

No wonder it had been much quieter on his side lately; apart from Secretary Shen and Chen Mo, Manager Zhao and the others had already moved over here.

However, compared to the original Zhuangyuan, this side wasn't as elaborate; a row of new single-story houses had been built, resembling a small hospital.

It was just that the smell of disinfectant was quite strong, though Lu Chen didn't feel any discomfort.

Liu Xiaofeng was not far away, sitting in a wheelchair basking in the sun, looking a bit drowsy.

Lu Chen didn't disturb him, but instead turned and went to Dr. Zhang's office.

"Boss, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Seeing Lu Chen walk in, Dr. Zhang immediately put down his fountain pen, stood up, and took two steps forward.

"It's nothing, I just came over to check on Xiaofeng's condition."

Lu Chen waved his hand, tossed Dr. Zhang a pack of 555s, and asked softly.

"Xiaofeng only has a fracture, and his recovery is going quite well."

Dr. Zhang skillfully took the 555s, opened them, lit one up, and then looked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen nodded slightly; as long as there was nothing major, it was fine.

After walking around and discovering that the wounded were not in any serious condition, Lu Chen returned to Dr. Zhang's office once more.

"Dr. Zhang, are you having any difficulties here?"

"The supply of medicine is still relatively sufficient, but the price of Penicillin has risen very high recently, and our reserves are not large. Most of the brothers' injuries require Penicillin."

Dr. Zhang was stunned for a moment before speaking softly.

"Steward Wang sent a batch over just two days ago, but it's still not quite enough; it can only last for about a week's worth of usage."

"Alright, I understand."

Lu Chen's eyes flickered, and a look of gravity appeared on his face.

After chatting with Dr. Zhang for a while, Lu Chen returned to the main courtyard.

He didn't linger, but headed straight for the bedroom and returned to the portable space to rummage around.

Before long, he found a large pile of medicine.

There were all sorts, with cold medicine making up the vast majority, but there were also some medicines he didn't recognize.

Although there wasn't much Penicillin, Lu Chen still managed to find a few boxes.

Lu Chen sighed helplessly.

Having just these was useless!

They were just some basic medicines; there wasn't even a pharmacy in the portable space...

However, Lu Chen didn't feel discouraged. When he walked to the elevator, he accidentally pressed the button for the 17th floor, and the elevator actually started running!

It took several seconds for Lu Chen to react!

The silver elevator space reflected Lu Chen's face, which was twisted with excitement.

In the past, even if he pressed the 17th floor, the elevator wouldn't run at all; it would only run if he pressed a floor that had already been unlocked!

Lu Chen hurriedly pressed the 16th floor!

He returned to his room, picked up his pistol, and then pressed the 17th floor again!

After the 17th-floor elevator opened, it wasn't the hotel room Lu Chen had imagined, but a brand-new office area.

White lights shone on this floor, and the vast majority of the small cubicles could almost be seen at a glance.

No danger!

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe carefully, but he still did not put down the gun in his hand.

Although he knew there was no one in his portable space, not even any small animals, not even bacteria.

But the handgun still gave him the confidence to explore.

It was better than the baseball bat he used before, right?

After patrolling a circle, Lu Chen finally put down the handgun.

Philin Pharmaceutical Trading Company.

Lu Chen opened the computers in the office area one by one; the vast majority were password-protected, which made Lu Chen truly a bit regretful.

But in an office area, there are always a few computers without passwords, which gave him some chance to peek into the company's secrets.

Novels, music, movies, and even some adult films were hidden among them.

It left Lu Chen feeling both amused and annoyed.

However, the "system software" on one of the computers had no password, which gave Lu Chen permission to peek into the database.

A series of patent application documents, as well as a list of expired patents.

Made Lu Chen truly overjoyed!

Lu Chen somewhat clumsily searched for several drugs he was interested in.

It was just like how most of the patent application documents were password-protected, while the expired patent documents were not!

Forget it, Lu Chen still found the relevant information regarding Penicillin.

After printing, a thick stack of about a thousand pages of documents emerged from the huge printer in the office area.

Lu Chen did not pay it any mind, but instead walked into the chairman's office.

The modern minimalist decor made Lu Chen feel truly much closer to home.

It was much better than the aesthetics of 1950, by who knows how much.

Of course, Lu Chen was not disparaging the aesthetics, but to each their own.

Just like this thing called a computer, if Lu Chen hadn't recalled it properly, he really would have forgotten how to operate it.

Of course, Lu Chen didn't leave out those novels, music, movies, and the like; he copied them all out using the empty USB drives he found!

These are the treasures of humanity!

In 1950, without these things, Lu Chen was truly too bored!

Of course, the most important thing was that he discovered a projector in the conference room, and after moving the boss's chair over, didn't that just become his own private theater!

Lu Chen felt that he was truly a genius!

Lu Chen sat on the boss's chair, happily opened a cola, and then skillfully turned on the boss's computer.
