Chapter 90: The Difference in Skill is Immediately Apparent

The reversal came too suddenly; everyone saw the change in the test solution with perfect clarity.

The contrast in the clarity of the two bottles of test solution could be distinguished at a glance, and the difference in skill between Xu Fengyuan and Chen Che was immediately apparent.

For a moment, the classroom was so quiet that only the sound of cautious breathing remained.

Everyone whispered to one another and exchanged glances, their hearts filled with immense shock.

Among them, Yuan Nansen was undoubtedly the most horrified. He walked forward with wide eyes and trembling lips, his face written with bewilderment and disbelief.

Under everyone's gaze, Yuan Nansen actually picked up the Kelo Poison test solution from Chen Che's lab bench, tilted his head back, and drank it.

"Professor Yuan!"

The members of the research team exclaimed in alarm; Yuan Nansen's actions not only gave them a fright, but the onlookers were also immediately struck with terror.

However, Yuan Nansen paid no heed to the others' attempts to stop him.

He gulped it all down in a few swallows, and seemed to still want more!

Yuan Nansen drank the last drop, looked at Chen Che with a face full of shock and longing, and asked, "Mr. Chen, how did you do it?"

Hm?

Yuan Nansen's words sparked confusion among those around them; if there was anyone in this world who understood Kelo Poison best, it was none other than Yuan Nansen.

What did he mean by asking Chen Che this question?

"Mr. Chen, I won't hide it from you: the chemical formula for this antidote is something I led my team to research for ten years. Yet, even though I have now gained recognition from the medical community, it is still not perfect."

Yuan Nansen said slowly, "Even the antidote purified and prepared with the most advanced instruments only reduces the toxicity of Kelo Poison to a level that does not endanger human life. It is far from reaching the level of Mr. Chen, which not only completely neutralized the toxicity but even tasted... sweet!"

Everyone was stunned once again, and their hearts were stirred with turbulent waves once more!

Their gazes gathered on Chen Che again, all of them pricking up their ears, waiting with expectant faces for Chen Che's answer.

Chen Che looked indifferent as he picked up the slip of paper with the chemical formula and said, "Oh, your chemical formula is indeed not perfect, but it's only off by a little. Just change these few places to 3, and this one to 2, and it will be fine."

Yuan Nansen held the slip of paper with both hands, staring at the few places Chen Che pointed out, performing the changes to the chemical formula in his mind.

"Ah!"

Yuan Nansen suddenly cried out, as if enlightened by a sudden flash of insight!

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

Yuan Nansen was incredibly excited, weeping with joy, and grabbed Chen Che's hands, saying emotionally, "Mr. Chen, you are truly too amazing. You are worthy of being the boyfriend of the Divine Doctor Li—oh no, with this ability of yours, you could completely become a Divine Doctor in the field of pharmacy! I, Yuan Nansen, admire you!"

Saying this, Yuan Nansen bowed deeply to Chen Che: "Mr. Chen, with you perfecting this chemical formula, our country's research into Kelo Poison will surely take a step forward. I am going to write the paper right now! Rest assured, when the paper is published, you will be the first author!"

Chen Che waved his hand and smiled: "Professor Yuan, this is nothing. The basic structure of the chemical formula was researched by you and your team; at most, I just provided the finishing touch, so the credit is still yours. As for the authorship, I don't need it. I am not a doctor, and I don't want to be any kind of Divine Doctor."

"Mr. Chen, I greatly admire your broad-mindedness, but it would truly be a great pity if such an excellent talent in the field of pharmacy did not work in medicine!"

Hearing that Chen Che did not want to work in medicine, Yuan Nansen felt deep regret and spoke up to persuade him to stay.

"To each their own."

Chen Che said, "Professor Yuan, with you all in the Xia medical community, that is enough."

"Very well. If you change your mind one day, I can add your name at any time!"

Yuan Nansen bowed to Chen Che again, his face full of admiration and respect.

Under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone, Yuan Nansen immediately took his team members and left the laboratory, actively throwing themselves into the research of the new chemical formula.

Chen Che let out a breath, thinking that he had finally gotten rid of Yuan Nansen and that there shouldn't be any more troublesome matters.

However, when he suddenly looked up, he found pairs of eyes with complex expressions staring at him intently.

Everyone present was stunned by what had just happened, and the shock in their hearts was as violent as a storm.

Among the onlookers, almost all were medical students, and they knew very well that Yuan Nansen was the absolute authority on Kelo Poison.

And yet Yuan Nansen had actually said those things to Chen Che!

They finally realized that Chen Che was not ignorant at all, and his professional level regarding medicine might even be above Li Qingyan's!

And the result of this competition was also obvious: it was a complete dimensional strike!

"Is he... is he really that amazing? The scientific achievement that Professor Yuan and his team spent ten years researching—he just touched Kelo Poison and perfected the chemical formula on the fly? This is too genius!"

"And the antidote Mr. Chen prepared—Professor Yuan drank it like sweet water and was fine. I'm afraid there isn't a second person in the world who is so skilled in the medicinal properties and refining techniques of herbs!"

"No wonder Professor Li chose him as her boyfriend. If only I could be this amazing; not only could I save the world, but I could also have a goddess. I am truly envious of Mr. Chen!"

"I told you so; how could the man the goddess set her sights on be useless? I must also work twice as hard to improve myself, striving to be worthy of a man as excellent as Mr. Chen!"

The onlookers discussed among themselves, all expressing the shock, envy, and longing in their hearts.

"I told you, my junior brother, the man I set my sights on, how could he be anything less than great!"

Li Qingyan crossed her arms over her chest, her face brimming with a proud and triumphant smile.

Qian Rongrong was also full of pride, thinking that being a servant to such a man was truly a heaven-sent fortune and blessing!

Ma Menghan looked at Chen Che's figure, happy from the bottom of her heart.

On one hand, she was happy that Chen Che had won, and on the other, she was happy that she understood Chen Che a little better.

When she was at Fu Lang's house, she had witnessed Chen Che's acupuncture, so she knew Chen Che understood medicine, but she hadn't expected him to be this amazing!

Ma Zijun's face was full of disbelief, his lips curled into a complex smile.

Today, Chen Che had brought him too many shocks. He suddenly felt that the biggest gain from coming to Shanghai this time was not finding Li Qingyan, but getting to know Chen Che.

And his intuition told him that Chen Che's abilities went far beyond this; the value that befriending Chen Che could bring to the Ma Family might completely overturn the Ma Family's status and landscape in Jinling, or even in Xia!

Lin Su's calm face was now also tinged with a look of yearning. She had been by Ma Zijun's side for a long time, and the man she admired most was Ma Zijun.

But at this moment, Ma Zijun's position in her heart had wavered slightly.

Xu Fengyuan stood frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time. He recalled everything that had just happened and felt it was so unreal.

He, who had thought victory was in his grasp, was now like an eggplant wilted by a storm, soul-lost.

His two close friends, Li Haotian and Chen Yifei, also exchanged glances, their heartbeats racing and unable to calm down for a long time.

Li Haotian's lips were dry, and he said with a trembling voice: "He is actually that amazing. I said those things to him just now—he doesn't hold a grudge, does he? Should I go and bow to him and apologize?"

"That shouldn't be the case. He didn't even want Professor Yuan's signature on the invitation, so he must be someone indifferent to fame and wealth, with a very broad mind... To think I just mocked such a person; I truly deserve to die!"

Chen Yifei looked remorseful and pinched his own thigh hard.

Xu Fengyuan came back to his senses and was just about to speak, but Chen Che spoke first:

"Fellow students, the competition is over, and the excitement has been seen. Now, I have a matter I would like to ask everyone for help with."

"My reagent bottle is broken; it must have been swapped by someone. I would trouble all of you to help me check the surveillance footage to see who did it."

Chen Che smiled, casting his gaze toward the crowd to scan and observe everyone's expressions.

Upon hearing this, Luan Youdong and Ma Zichen both shuddered, hunched their shoulders, and lowered their heads.
