Chapter 557 First Advanced Skill Upgrade!

“Chief Qin, I’m just telling the truth. You know about my situation.” Ye Lingchen could not resist rubbing his nose.“Aren’t you just trying to rush the island-building?” Qin Baichuan gave Ye Lingchen a look that suggested he had seen through everything, then stated, “However, this matter is quite important. Are you sure you can make this type of medicine?”

Ye Lingchen nodded. “Rabies, cancer, and other diseases. I’m confident in creating their corresponding medicine.”

“Little Friend Ye, this is something the country places great importance on. Are you sure?” Lin Tianxiong gave Ye Lingchen a serious look.

That matter concerned the lives and deaths of countless people. It concerned the country’s knowledge of medicine. If not for such a great impact, they would not have rushed over to the hospital.

“If that’s true, then I can make a decision on that. We’ll first look for Grandmaster Hao and speed up construction of the pharmaceutical factory for you!” Qin Baichuan slammed his hand on the table. “Not just that, but the country will subsidize half of the cost for the pharmaceutical factory! This is something that benefits the nation and will not be treated carelessly!”

Ye Lingchen’s eyes brightened up. He did not expect such a benefit. He then said with a smile, “Chief Qin, isn’t that a bit too much?”

“Kid, stop acting innocent after receiving such benefits.” Qin Baichuan gave Ye Lingchen a sarcastic glare. “This is the country’s trust in you. I hope you won’t let us down.”

“That, you can rest assured.” Ye Lingchen nodded.

“One more thing. Although I’m going to push forward contacting Grandmaster Hao for you, you better not delay that military-themed TV series. If it’s bad, you’ll answer to me!” Qin Baichuan reminded worriedly before leaving with the people from the Warrior’s Department.

As the building of the pharmaceutical factory was an important matter, he needed to report to his superiors and get it done as soon as possible.

Ye Lingchen also took his leave from Capital Hospital while Grandmaster Jiang and the others sent him off respectfully.

Along the way, Dong Miaomiao’s eyes were bright as never before as she stole the occasional glance at Ye Lingchen. Her lips curled upwards.

“Why are you smiling all by yourself?” Ye Lingchen asked.

“I just think that you’re a decent man.” Dong Miaomiao smiled, then said, “Can you really produce those medicines? It would be an awesome feat.”

“Is it that special to create such medicines?” Ye Lingchen pursed his lips. When the system upgrades his Chemistry skill, god knows what kind of medicine he could come up with. ‘When that time comes, you’ll know what true greatness is.’

“You’ve just got yourself the support of the nation. Moreover, with your renown, the pharmaceutical factory will immediately make it to the top of the country.” Dong Miaomiao shot a look of uncertainty at Ye Lingchen, asking nervously, “Are you sure you want me to manage the pharmaceutical factory?”

If she had any skepticism toward Ye Lingchen previously, it had all turned into her wanting to ride his coattails. That was definitely one that anyone could latch onto and soar together.

“I’ve said it before and I won’t go back on my words.” Ye Lingchen laughed. “What is it? You’re scared? Are you not confident enough to manage it?”

“Impossible.” Dong Miaomiao jumped like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She raised her fist and retorted, “Even if it’s on a larger scale, I’ll manage it impeccably. Just wait and see.”

…

Back at the villa, Ye Lingchen was smiling. His decision to visit the hospital was wise indeed. It brought him unimaginable profits!

First of all, he managed to collect data for his future medicine production as he already had an idea on how to tackle the issue of rabies and stomach cancer. He only needed to merge some medicinal herbs and create a medicine that would fight off those diseases.

Of course, he would not be making much money from those medicines. He planned to only make a 10 percent profit from them. However, along with the popularizing of these medicines, his renown would grow alongside it. From there, any other products of his pharmaceutical company would also have high demand. Even if his life-saving medicines were cheap while the healthcare products were expensive, a lot of people would still purchase them!

Next was the unexpected fortune. His actions alerted the country and the Warrior’s department, resulting in them giving him incentives. Not only were they moving forward with their plans to contact Grandmaster Hao, he was even granted a 50 percent subsidy for his pharmaceutical factory by the country. All he needed to do was pick the time to begin construction!

Of course, most importantly, his popularity points increased explosively!

This time, the increase was really magnificent. When Ye Lingchen saw his popularity points in the system menu, his head felt numb.

Medicine was relatable to all, thus naturally gaining attention from everyone. Moreover, compared to the entertainment industry and other fields, the field of medicine was more profitable for him in terms of popularity points. In other words, it was easier for him to gain adoration and respect from others. Therefore, one could imagine how much his sudden gain of popularity points was!

11,956,899!

That’s right. That was his new popularity point total!

From approximately 5.1 million points, it had increased by over six million popularity points!

That aside, this incident was still in its developing stage. A lot of people who were not paying attention to the matter were slowly gaining interest. His popularity points were increasing by the second.

By a conservative estimate, this incident would net him around 10 million popularity points!

That was a full 10 million points. All of Ye Lingchen’s previous gain in popularity points would not even add up to that amount!

Terrifyingly shocking!

Another stronger emotion he felt was excitement!

Previously, he was carefully trying to save up on popularity points. Who would have known that it would grow explosively like that?!

If he continued to create new medicines and promote them to the entire world, how many popularity points would he receive from the tens of billions of people?

Just the thought of it made Ye Lingchen’s heart race with excitement.

He swallowed hard, then continued to stare at the system menu.

Since his popularity point had exceeded 10 million, then it should be time for an advanced skill upgrade. His first advanced skill upgrade!

As of then, he had four intermediate skills. They were the Eight Extremities Brute Training (Intermediate), Parkour (Intermediate), Arhat’s Fist Force (Intermediate), and Animal Taming (Intermediate).

In order to prevent too much randomness, Ye Lingchen did not upgrade too many skills to the intermediate level. Of the four skills, aside from Animal Taming, the other three were decent. The rate of a good pick was at 75 percent.

Apart from Animal Taming, the other three skills would greatly increase Ye Lingchen’s survivability, allowing him to survive unexpected situations.

‘My luck shouldn’t be that bad, right?’

Ye Lingchen took a deep breath and struggled internally for a long time before selecting start with his trembling hands!

10 million popularity points were consumed in order to activate the advanced skill upgrade!

‘That’s 10 million popularity points. Oh heavens above, please watch over me. Don’t let me down.’

He prayed in his heart and did not dare to look directly at the system menu.

The golden glow in the advanced skill upgrade took on a purplish hue, giving it a noble splendor. It cycled over the four intermediate skills at an extreme speed. Ye Lingchen’s breathing became increasingly labored as he watched it anxiously.

Amid the dazzling sight, it suddenly came to a stop!
