Chapter 2800: Hidden Easter Egg

Ye Chen didn't expect that he would encounter two young cancer patients while camping on a mountain in Yunnan;

He didn't expect even more that both of them wanted to go to Jin Ling to participate in the clinical trial of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, but were rejected.

And what surprised him the most was that this Hu Leqi actually knew James Shi Misi.

When others were exclaiming that James Shi Misi, who once held the entire FDA, actually resigned and started doing charity in Jin Ling, this kind of thing sounded simply incredible.

Ye Chen asked Hu Leqi curiously, "Old Hu, are you very familiar with this James Shi Misi?"

Hu Leqi said frankly, "I can't say I'm very familiar. After all, when he didn't resign, he was a high-ranking official in the United States, and the FDA contacted the world's top biopharmaceutical companies and entrepreneurs. People like James Shi Misi are top-notch even in the upper class. How could ordinary people like me have the opportunity to know him."

As he spoke, Hu Leqi added, "I actually met him at the registration site of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical. He didn't look special at first glance, and the people around him didn't recognize him at all. I could recognize him because I studied biological science in the United States. All students studying biological science, gene technology, and chemical pharmacy in the United States should know him. After all, he was once the 'blue sky and old master' (a respectful term for a high official) of these majors."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "What is your main direction in biological science? Is it biomedical research and development?"

"Yes." Hu Leqi nodded, "My major is biochemistry, and I planned to go to a pharmaceutical company after graduation to participate in the research and development of a new generation of chemotherapy drugs. As a result, I didn't expect that before the drugs were developed, I became a late-stage cancer patient first."

As he spoke, Hu Leqi smiled and sighed, "This is the so-called 'the hero dies before he can achieve his goal, making the hero shed tears'. I wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country, but as a result, I 'ga' (died) before I even put on the military uniform."

Shu Lan beside her smiled and said, "Everyone has their own destiny. Like us, we are just here for a tour, so being able to live happily before going back is more important than anything else."

Hu Leqi nodded gently, hugged Shu Lan gently, and said with a smile, "God has been very kind to me, letting me find my true love before I die. This life is not lived in vain."

Shu Lan's face flushed slightly, and she scolded, "Oh, you are so cheesy."

Hu Leqi smiled, "There is not much time left for me to be reserved and implicit, so I must be unrestrained as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he looked at Shu Lan and asked with a loud laugh, "Shu Lan, will you marry me?"

Shu Lan was a bit stunned, while the others around were suddenly enthusiastic.

A boy of similar age to Hu Leqi smiled and said, "Damn! Old Hu, are you proposing?"

Hu Leqi smiled embarrassedly, "It counts, it's just that I didn't prepare an engagement ring in advance."

As he spoke, he looked at Shu Lan and asked very sincerely, "Shu Lan, will you marry me?"

Shu Lan came back to her senses, pursed her lips, and said, "There isn't much time left, do we really have to get married? Getting married is very troublesome. We have to meet parents, choose wedding dresses, book hotels, and then prepare for the wedding. Instead of wasting so much time, it's better to be together simply. That way, the time we spend together can be longer, right?"

Hu Leqi was silent for a moment, then looked at Shu Lan and said seriously, "I want to have some experiences I haven't had before I die. If possible, I also want to take you to live in the United States..."

Shu Lan smiled and said, "After this hike, we both have to start chemotherapy. Once chemotherapy starts, the physical condition will retreat significantly. By then, we might not be able to move. Moreover, you have to go back to the United States for treatment, and I have to go back to Yanjing for treatment. If we really prepare for a wedding, it might delay the treatment."

As she spoke, her expression gradually became serious, "Leqi, let's make a promise. Let's try our best to live through this year. If there is a miracle next year and neither of us dies, you come to China, meet my parents, and after getting their consent, I will go to the United States with you."

Hu Leqi, who had always been happy, suddenly had a look of dejection and powerlessness on his face. He said in a low voice, "There are still four months until next year. I'm afraid that even if I don't die next year, I won't be able to come to China to see you."

Shu Lan's eyes turned red, and she smiled, "It's okay, we'll just video call every day then. Everything is online now, and even courts often hold hearings online. If it really doesn't work, you can hire a priest, and I will marry you online."

Hu Leqi held back his tears, nodded gently, and smiled, "Then it's a deal. I'll go find a priest when I return to the United States, and we'll have an online wedding on January 1st!"

The emotions of the other companions gradually fell into a trough.

Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen and asked in a low voice in his ear, "Young Master, isn't Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical yours?"

Ye Chen nodded and hummed, "It's mine."

Lin Wan'er looked at Hu Leqi and Shu Lan, and asked again, "Then look if you can..."

Ye Chen didn't wait for her to finish, and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, but not now. I will arrange it properly when I leave."

Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and her mood became much better. However, thinking that Ye Chen had always been very strict about the rules he formulated for himself, she asked tentatively, "Will it make you very difficult?"

Ye Chen shook his head, "No, every game designer has a set of basic rules for the game, but he will also actively put Easter eggs into the game rules, and passively leave bugs. I am the hidden NPC in this game. Meeting me will trigger the hidden Easter egg."

Lin Wan'er felt relieved when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, then the former person in charge of the FDA they just mentioned, he also met you, why didn't he trigger the Easter egg?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Easter eggs are not triggered just by meeting an NPC. You have to use the correct way to trigger them, combined with a pious heart to be possible. The two points that make me most dissatisfied with that James Shi Misi are one is overconfidence, and the other is the byproduct of overconfidence—looking down on others. With these two points, I won't give him a chance."

At this time, Hu Leqi started to organize, "Alright, it's about time. Let's hurry up and start a fire to cook. If it's any later, we can only eat dinner in the dark!"

Soon, a group of people began to work together in an orderly manner.

Some prepared firewood, some prepared ingredients, and some took out everyone's folding tables and pieced them together into a long table.

Ye Chen contributed the ingredients and wine he purchased. While everyone was preparing dinner, he first set up the tent.

Although the camping tent he bought was for two people, the internal space was about the size of a 1.8-meter double bed. Lin Wan'er helped lay the moisture-proof mat on the side, and also said in a low voice somewhat shyly, "Are we going to sleep here tonight?"

Ye Chen nodded, "Let's see when Wu Feiyan appears. If she doesn't appear, we will let nature take its course."

Lin Wan'er asked again, "What if Wu Feiyan appears after everyone is asleep? In that situation, we can't sneak out and monitor her secretly, right? If we do that, she will definitely find out soon."

Ye Chen smiled, "Don't worry, I'm all prepared. I integrated a trace of spiritual energy into the wine. Everyone will be very excited tonight and won't feel any fatigue. This bonfire party might last until tomorrow morning. Wu Feiyan is in such a hurry to fly to Myanmar, so she definitely won't delay time when she comes over from Myanmar. Before tomorrow morning, she should be here anyway!" ===== CHAPTER 2801 =====
