Chapter 1381: Chapter 1384: Progress Bar Soars!

Hearing the system prompt, Chen Cang was stunned!

He turned around and looked at the unremarkable booth.

Behind it was only one man who didn’t seem particularly outstanding, and there weren’t many people gathered around the booth either.

Moreover, the key point was that the booth didn’t exhibit any special materials or research products, just a thick stack of papers.

It couldn’t even be called a book!

The man had a very dejected expression, an indescribable feeling, but his eyes reflected a sense of deep loss.

Chen Cang greeted him.

"Hello!"

The man didn’t hear the first time; it wasn’t until Chen Cang called out again and patted his shoulder that he turned around.

The man pointed to his ear and apologized with a smile: "Sorry, I have a bit of a problem with my ear, wasn’t wearing a hearing aid just now."

While speaking, the man equipped his hearing aid, then turned to look at Chen Cang.

Upon seeing Chen Cang, the man smiled with surprise: "Oh! Professor Chen, hello! I’m Krofft, an independent researcher, an American."

Chen Cang smiled politely: "Professor Krofft, is this your research material?"

Krofft smiled awkwardly: "This is the culmination of my life’s work, but... it feels like... perhaps I’ve been heading in the wrong direction!"

Chen Cang was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Krofft sighed, unabashedly taking out the thick stack of materials.

"Failed research achievements, failed research data, all of this... can only be considered a summary of my life’s failures."

Upon hearing Krofft’s words, Chen Cang didn’t say much; he naturally didn’t think the system would make a mistake.

Of all the things in the exhibition hall, none had suggested to Chen Cang that it could progress his concept of cardiac arrest, except for here, which meant that Professor Krofft’s things were undoubtedly very valuable!

Thinking about this, Chen Cang casually picked up a sheet of paper: "May I take a look?"

Krofft generously said: "You can have it!"

Chen Cang consoled: "Actually, the experience of failure is as important as the experience of success."

Krofft couldn’t help but shake his head, looking at Chen Cang with a smile, his short cropped hair already turning gray, the mix of yellow and white making him appear even older.

He said: "Motivational words don’t do much for me anymore."

"Actually, I find that successful experiences are more important than failures, because... success can boost one’s confidence, while the experience of failure is merely self-consolation."

"I’ve experienced both success and failure in my life, and I know the despair that countless failures bring to a person."

At this point, Krofft looked at Chen Cang and smiled: "Professor Chen, people are different, most are ordinary, and most never recover from failure, while those who succeed are as rare as rare gems, just like you."

"What I’m thinking now is, if I’m lucky enough to find an investor, that would be great, but... I’m not holding out hope anymore, haven’t found one for years, so I don’t care about today either. Besides, in the future, the development will definitely focus on research in the field of continuous heart beating."

"So... after selling these materials for a good price, I might go back to university and become a teacher, doing research on my own is really exhausting!"

Krofft was very much like most failed researchers, having spent all his savings, with no clear results, no investors found, and a future still bleak, and most importantly, he wasn’t young anymore.

Chen Cang didn’t speak, but took a piece of paper that contained research about cardiac resuscitation liquid, offering great insights into cardiac research!

After reading it, Chen Cang suddenly found... his [Cardiac Arrest Theory] had increased by 0.1%!

This shocked Chen Cang quite a bit!

Is this... really a summary of failures?

This is simply... simply a book of experience!

Thinking of this, Chen Cang got a bit excited, even tempted to buy it all back.

But right now, he didn’t have much money.

Nor could he afford such a money-burning research institute.

Suddenly, Chen Cang remembered he had something special!

[Rapid Comprehension of a Book: Quickly read and understand a book, integrate and grasp its contents!]

Chen Cang had this item for some time but hadn’t had the heart to use it, now... perhaps it’s an opportunity?

Thinking about it, Chen Cang blushed a little, knowing that this behavior would be considered free-loading.

But he also knew this opportunity was rare, and most importantly, he wanted to see what was inside!

If possible, he’d even be willing to invest in him!

Though he had no money... at worst, he’d go back and return to his old trade, do surgeries for several rich ladies.

Having made up his mind, Chen Cang directly activated the item.

He then casually picked up these papers and flipped through them roughly.

As if casually flipping through a book.

Not long after!

A system prompt sounded in Chen Cang’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve gained 25% progress in the concept of cardiac arrest!]

[Ding! Current progress in the concept of cardiac arrest is 30%, reward obtained: Advancement in cardiac resuscitation research and technique.]

Hearing the system prompt, Chen Cang was dumbfounded!

He directly gained 25%!

That’s amazing!

But considering that this was Krofft’s life’s work, Chen Cang couldn’t help but sigh.

The content of these materials had been thoroughly read and understood by Chen Cang.

These were all Krofft’s longstanding research data and self-understanding regarding cardiac resuscitation liquid.

In fact!

Krofft’s research into the theory of cardiac arrest was profound, not inferior to Rehn.

However, successful experiments always involve some element of chance, requiring a bit of luck.

Of course, the most important thing might also be the existence of some small differences in understanding.

And with the advancement in cardiac resuscitation research he had just obtained, Chen Cang understood why Krofft felt so dejected.

After a while, Chen Cang looked at Krofft and said: "If I want to continue supporting you in researching cardiac resuscitation liquid, are you willing to continue?"

Krofft was immediately taken aback!

A bit skeptical, but... full of hope in his eyes, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said:

"Professor Chen, are you joking? You’re already studying the theory of continuous heart beating. Now doing cardiac resuscitation liquid, isn’t that... unsuitable?"

Chen Cang nodded with a smile: "If you don’t mind, give me these things, I’ll take a look and give you an answer before we leave tomorrow, how about that?"

Krofft hastened to nod: "That would be great! No problem! These things... can you finish them in one night?"

Chen Cang smiled and shook his head: "Not really, if Professor Krofft has time to explain it to me, that would be perfect."

Krofft suddenly got excited: "Come to my room tonight! Or I can go to your room!"

There are still three Chapters coming, can I ask for some monthly tickets...
