Chapter 234: 220 new discoveries four_2

He really meant what he said. Tang Zhiwei’s meal of four dishes and a soup included stir-fried mushrooms and pork, four happiness meatballs, braised pig trotters, and stir-fried white mushrooms with yams, plus a tofu fish head soup.

The majority were meat dishes, exuding a delicious aroma that enticed the appetite.

"Speaking of which, it’s tough for you Blind Spot Individuals. The state doesn’t pay much attention to you, only seeking your cooperation with research occasionally when needed. You have to be careful of sudden Blind Spots all the time," Tang Zhiwei sighed. "By comparison, Xiao Wei is quite lucky."

"It’s okay, I’ve actually gotten used to it," Li Chengyi said with a laugh. "By the way, shouldn’t Sister Xiao Wei be graduating soon?"

"Yeah, her master’s thesis has been submitted, just waiting for the approval from above. All I need is to sign off on it," Tang Zhiwei nodded. "The problem now is what to do after graduation?"

"With a major in special combat, she could either join the military or Jiu Yi, or be assigned to safety bureaus across the country, right?" Li Chengyi asked.

"That’s tough, the quotas are all full. And this Feiyi thing, you need a lot of money for maintenance; otherwise, you can’t even afford to use it," Tang Yuwei shook her head. "Don’t be fooled by the number of Feiyi majors in the country; only a very small percentage of graduates end up working as Feiyi Masters. Most are engaged in related jobs. After all, not everyone can afford it."

"So what does Sister think?" Li Chengyi asked, intrigued.

Tang Yuwei picked up her rice bowl and pinched a piece of yam with her chopsticks, placing it on top of the rice.

"Given my congenital limitations, I can’t be on the front line. After graduation, I plan to apply to the local Brain Calculation Center Assessor position."

"That’s a good idea as well," Tang Zhiwei added from the side. "Living an ordinary life without being on the front lines is another way of life."

He chuckled, looking at his daughter.

"Speaking of which, Uncle Xue asked about you a few days ago. His son is very promising, a teaching assistant at Dong’an University, and likely to become permanent faculty in a few years. He suggests that you two start getting to know each other?"

"Dad... I’m only twenty-two!" Tang Yuwei said helplessly.

"What’s wrong with being twenty-two? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a grandson for me to hold early?" Tang Zhiwei smiled.

"Sister doesn’t want to resign to such an early ’death’," Li Chengyi teased from the side.

"Exactly, marriage and all that, it’s too much trouble," Tang Yuwei nodded.

She looked at her father, seeming somewhat hesitant.

"Dad, there’s a mutual aid meeting this afternoon, and I plan to take Xiao Yi over to have a look."

"A mutual aid meeting?" Tang Zhiwei was taken aback. "He’s just a beginner Amateur Feiyi Master; it won’t do him any good going there."

"I’m bringing him to broaden his horizons," Tang Yuwei explained.

"Uh, may I ask, what is a mutual aid meeting?" Li Chengyi couldn’t help but inquire.

"It’s a meeting between Feiyi Masters who lack finances and need sponsorship and wealthy people. They choose each other and agree on one-to-one sponsorship support, signing a contract. Afterward, the Feiyi Masters have to work for a certain amount of time for their sponsors," Tang Yuwei quickly replied.

"Because of the special nature of our school, the sponsors who can enter are usually nobility. Ordinary businessmen don’t qualify," Tang Zhiwei explained. "And the nobility usually sets very high standards."

"I see... Now I understand," Li Chengyi nodded comprehendingly. "But why Sister?"

"I didn’t get in because of my dad," Tang Yuwei hastened to explain. "Aside from practical combat, my grades in all other subjects are at the top level! I already have the qualifications to go in. Plus, I can bring two people with me."

"Practical combat is indeed the issue. Xiao Wei’s illness prevents her from enhancing her body, putting her at a significant disadvantage against those enhanced Feiyi Masters," Tang Zhiwei sighed.

"Have you tried seeking treatment elsewhere?" Li Chengyi asked.

"We’ve tried that... We’ve used all kinds of methods and spent a lot of money. The only effect is to slow down the deterioration, to prevent it from getting worse," Tang Yuwei answered.

"Is that so?" Li Chengyi frowned. "Speaking of which, I happen to have a method on my side. Would Sister be willing to give it a try?"

Tang Yuwei had great potential, and he would need to buy better controlled materials and Force Field Generators in the future. This girl was undoubtedly a good opportunity for him.

If a Level Four Force Field was that powerful, how unimaginable would higher levels be?

"What method?" Tang Yuwei swiftly questioned.

From the side, Tang Zhiwei also set down his bowl, looking seriously at Li Chengyi.

Seeing that he had gathered the attention of both father and daughter, Li Chengyi spoke earnestly.

"The teacher knows I’m a Blind Spot Individual. I’ve started a company, and my partners are from all walks of life, so I have access to a wide and diverse range of information," he said.

He paused, then continued.

"By chance, while I was investigating a Blind Spot clue, I stumbled upon a miraculous medicine. It’s a special pill used by the local minority communities..."

"Wait, no need to go on, I get the intention, but such medicines definitely won’t work," Tang Zhiwei interrupted him, shaking his head.

These are what’s known as folk remedies.

He had seen, more than once, cases of people who believed in these remedies and ended up hospitalized for poisoning. Not to mention, his own daughter had suffered from it twice.

While a very small number of such folk remedies can be somewhat effective, many of them treat just the symptoms, not the root cause.

They can also have significant side effects.

"Alright then. It’s just that we’ve used it ourselves and everyone says the effect is good," Li Chengyi said softly.

"Time for dinner," Tang Zhiwei called out.

However, Tang Yuwei, on the other side, glanced at Li Chengyi and took the matter of the medicine to heart.

As long as it was effective, she was willing to try any remedy!

After dinner.

Tang Yuwei saw Li Chengyi downstairs.

"I wanted to take you to the mutual aid meeting, but sadly daddy wouldn’t let me. Sorry about that." She had become quite familiar with Li Chengyi by now and had a very good impression of this warm-hearted and reliable junior brother.

"Sister, you’re being too kind." Li Chengyi smiled, "Actually, I’ve been meaning to say that a condition like yours isn’t uncommon in the place I’ve been to. Their medicines are not primarily for treatment, but for enhancement, so..."

Li Chengyi got into the car, rolled down the window, and handed Tang Yuwei a small bottle.

"Try this, sister; the effect is guaranteed to be good. It’s free, and if you’re not reassured, you can have it tested."

Tang Yuwei took it and looked. It was a dark glass bottle containing a purple-red orb.

"Thank you. Is this medicine expensive? Should I transfer money to you?"

"It’s just a small amount, the main thing is to see if it works. If it can help sister, that would be the best. If it doesn’t, just pretend I didn’t say anything," Li Chengyi said with a smile.

"Alright, see you then," Tang Yuwei also smiled, stepped back, and waved goodbye.

As she watched the car slowly drive away, she picked up the bottle again. There were no labels or marks on it; it indeed was an unbranded product.

’Should I... give it a try?’

A thought surged from the bottom of her heart.

"Right, how do you take this thing? Chew it? Swallow it with water, or before or after meals?"

Realizing she had forgotten to ask, she quickly took out her phone to call Li Chengyi.

"I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is not in the service area, please try again later."

Suddenly, a mechanical female voice came through the handset.

"???"

Tang Yuwei was astonished and pressed redial, but the result was the same.

"What’s going on?"

Inside the taxi.

Li Chengyi leaned back in his seat and exhaled deeply.

He had finally given away the Floral Bead. Now, he just had to wait and see if it would have any effect on Tang Yuwei.

This girl was the best breakthrough point chosen by his boss, Xindela, and himself. If this didn’t work, other methods would be much harder.

He sat in the back of the car, silently pondering the likelihood of success and how to deal with the possible scenarios that could follow.

But after just a few minutes, he felt something was off.

’Why is the car going so slow?’

Li Chengyi immediately became alert and looked out the left side window.

Outside, the scenery had, without his notice, turned into a gray haze.

The bustling streets filled with cars and people were now devoid of a single person or vehicle.

A gray fog enveloped everything around, and it seemed like his was the only car moving forward on the entire street.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengyi recognized it immediately in his heart.

He had entered the Blind Spot again!

’And at this time of all times!’

He had just returned to Luo An, fully absorbed Gladiolus’s flowers three times, and was about to set up Horror Magic to continue absorbing Evil Thoughts.

Tomorrow, he would be able to complete the third evolution of Gladiolus thoroughly.

But... it had to be now.
