Chapter 847: Chapter 847: Everyone has switched to making nutrient liquid

The impact was visibly significant, though not everyone was happy, for instance, various medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies were hit hard. Those who provided services to the pharmaceutical industry also faced significant problems.

Now, aside from some viral things, there’s hardly any need to produce other medications.

You see, if one’s body recovers on its own, even illnesses like colds and fevers would become rare.

If willing, most diseases can be withstood just relying on the regenerative Potions.

Especially for those with sequelae, there’s no longer any need to keep taking herbs to resist. Just regenerate one’s internal organs, and they’ll be no different from a normal person—no, they are indeed normal people.

“By the way, how is the government going to handle the employment issue with so many people?”

Although Zhao Guang asked this question, he was not particularly worried.

Back in the day, during the wave of layoffs, weren’t they all resolved? Now it’s just people from the pharmaceutical industry; even counting them, they’re not that many. Some might have influence, but it depends on what it’s based on.

Once their pharmaceuticals become useless, their voice and power drop to the lowest point.

Ye Zhi lounged comfortably on the sofa, having just finished a massage, not asleep but still very comfy.

“They’ve been given another task, to produce supporting Nutrient liquids, or to work as subcontractors for us, processing or cultivating medicinal herbs.” They haven’t been completely abandoned after all.

“So, they all switched to making Nutrient liquid now, right?”

“Yeah, that’s it. The Nutrient liquid isn’t complicated. As long as it has nutrients, it’s fine. If needed, concentrating glucose isn’t a problem; it’s easy to make.”

Glucose is easily absorbed and can replenish the body in the shortest time possible.

Zhao Guang’s Potion isn’t an uncontrollable strong medicine. Even if nutritional supplementation is delayed, the most that happens is a slower recovery, and the drug’s effect will still slowly manifest.

Otherwise, if it exploded all at once, how many could withstand it? He wouldn’t make that mistake.

Even if mistakes were made, they’ve already been identified and resolved during vast Otherworld promotions.

“But these people are greedy. Some even wanted to price the Nutrient liquid higher than the Potion itself.”

Zhao Guang frowned. There’s always someone like that. Disgusting. “The upper management won’t agree with these people, right?” Even if it didn’t affect him, it would still be disappointing.

“Of course not. Making Nutrient liquid more expensive than the Potion itself, and mandating it as necessary, is something people came up with? If they dared to do that, wouldn’t many ordinary folks find healthcare unaffordable again?”

The country isn’t affluent everywhere, many regions are still impoverished.

The more such places, the more they need various medicines for treatment.

“So, a policy was implemented: any Nutrient liquid sold beyond a certain price will be severely cracked down. Many who harbored dissatisfaction have reportedly been removed, ensuring such things don’t happen.”

Though Zhao Guang only heard a word from Ye Zhi, he could imagine the stormy upheaval involved.

No doubt, those who dared to make demands and harbor dissatisfaction likely had high status.

Thankfully, the people in charge aren’t completely rotten. Otherwise, one wouldn’t know how to handle it properly.

“That’s fine then. I don’t have any requests anyway. By the way, shouldn’t this be covered by insurance?”

Ye Zhi rolled over and sat up with a bitter smile: “Don’t joke around. Everyone needs it, regardless of age. Covering it under medical insurance would be expensive. Besides, it’s not urgently needed and not expensive.”

“The upper management’s stance is to wait till this wave passes and then include it in medical insurance.”

Is that possible? Zhao Guang thought he’d learned a new tactic. Maybe he could adapt it for his own territory. What, there’s no insurance there? It can certainly be added later.

Of course, the territory’s production scale needs to reach a certain level. It’s not enough now.

“Never mind, as long as there’s no major unrest, it shouldn’t matter.”

“Rest assured, those pharmaceutical companies aren’t solely reliant on this for profit.”

“Speaking of which, one of their most profitable sectors is ordinary cold and fever medications.”

Zhao Guang thought for a moment; it seemed true. These medications are common, household staples often consumed. Counted together, these ordinary medicines are the most profitable.

So, he should research in this direction next.

It’s not that Zhao Guang wants to eliminate them; he just realized that even abroad, their most lucrative products are these common medications.

With direction, there’s a new research goal, though it requires luck.

Better to have Mira and the others continue their studies, and wait for significant results.

“Well then, I’m done here. I’m heading back.” Zhao Guang wanted to return to continue his previous research.

But just then, Ye Zhi suddenly spoke again: “Oh, by the way, do you have time in the next few days? We may need you to make a trip.”

“What’s it about?” Only matters from the higher-ups could get him to go out.

Zhao Guang wasn’t opposed, just as long as it didn’t disrupt his plans too much.

“It’s like this: some people have reached the peak of spiritual energy cultivation, and they need to advance to opening meridians. But there are few methods and no experience in this area, so…”

They’re asking him to oversee their cultivation breakthrough? But how did it happen so fast?

According to his original calculations, even with the nation’s full efforts, reaching such a level shouldn’t happen so quickly.

After all, not everyone could be like him, directly guiding their family members.

In fact, even Ye Zhi, who received most of his guidance, was still far from this level. How did they manage it? Zhao Guang was curious; this is an important research topic.

“Got it, how about this: I’m free tomorrow or the day after.”

“Then let’s do it tomorrow. You rest up; I’ll get them ready.”

This isn’t them having time, it’s entirely scheduling around Zhao Guang’s availability. Quite possibly, these people have been waiting for this opportunity every moment.
