The longed-for village system

Chapter 503 Martial Law
To be honest, Chen Qing wasn't sure if he had successfully refined the medicine. Based on the recipe and description provided by the system, Chen Qing was fairly certain that this was indeed a basic healing potion.

"It should be a success, but I haven't tested it yet, so I'm not sure if the drug's effects meet my expectations."

"Brother Chen, now that the potion is ready, can you tell us its effects?"

Hearing their colleagues' words, everyone turned their curious and questioning gazes toward Chen Qing. They had been too busy to ask Chen Qing about the function of the potion before, but now that it had been developed, they couldn't suppress their curiosity if they didn't ask him.

"This!" Chen Qing paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I call this a primary treatment potion. Its specific function is to restore the body's functions."

"What!!"

The experts present exclaimed in unison, all astonished by Chen Qing's answer.

They are all experts in various fields of medicine, and they understand why people get sick and die. Isn't it because viruses damage various bodily functions that people become unwell and die?

If this medicine can truly restore bodily functions, then it is a veritable panacea, capable of curing any disease with just one dose.

"It's not as exaggerated as you think. This is just a basic treatment. It can only restore a limited part of the body's functions and cannot solve all problems. For example, this medicine can only suppress diseases like cancer and cannot completely cure them."

The experts were speechless at Chen Qing's nonchalant tone. Although they had witnessed Chen Qing's extraordinary abilities, they still felt that he was too Versailles-like.

Are you still not satisfied with the effects of this medicine? You should know that this medicine is not just for one disease or terminal illness, but a veritable panacea. If I could develop a medicine with even half the efficacy of this medicine in my lifetime, I would be able to die with a smile on my face.

It has to be Brother Chen; ordinary people like them can't understand him.

However, upon further reflection, they were secretly delighted. Although they hadn't contributed much to the development of the potion, they had still put in the effort. After all, they had participated in its development, and their names would surely appear in history books in the future.

This truly deserves to be remembered in history; their names should even be given a separate page in the family genealogy.

It has to be Brother Chen, he's such a good friend. He could have eaten the meat and drunk the soup himself, but he insisted on pouring the soup into their mouths.

"Don't get too excited yet, everyone. Although the potion has been developed, it hasn't been tested yet!" Chen Qing interrupted their fantasies.

After a brief silence

"I come!"

"I should definitely do this!"

"Stop arguing, I'm the dean, I'll do it. Besides, I'm the oldest, so the experiment will have more significant results."

They certainly wouldn't dare risk their lives if the medicine was produced by someone else, because they couldn't guarantee what might happen after the medicine was administered, and one wrong move could very well lead to their death.

But they had the confidence that Chen Qing's products would be reliable. Even if something went wrong, they knew they wouldn't die because of Chen Qing. So how could they miss out on the good reputation of being at the forefront for the sake of the medicine?

Ultimately, the dean was chosen as the first person to test the drug. Everyone was incredibly envious as they watched him drink the drug with a smug look on his face.

Originally, everyone was just drinking soup together, but now someone not only drank soup but also ate a piece of meat—a big piece at that! How could they not be envious and jealous? A higher-ranking official can crush you.

For the next hour or so, everyone waited for the medicine to take effect. Although they were confident in Chen Qing's medicine, they all waited patiently, and the atmosphere became tense.

Chen Qing himself was somewhat uneasy. He realized he had trusted this damn system too much, and now he could only wait and see how the medicine went.

"How is the dean? How are you feeling?"

"I feel great, my whole body is warm and cozy, and I feel much better. I feel very relaxed now."

"It really is true. The dean looks much better now. He was tired just now, but now he looks like he's just had a good sleep."

They might not be able to see other reactions immediately, but their energy level is something that can be seen with the naked eye. They have visibly improved and don't look like they've been up all night at all.

"Let's go to the hospital now for a full check-up."

Seeing that the other party did not have any adverse reactions, Chen Qingxin was relieved. The next step was to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination with instruments to obtain accurate data so that the efficacy of the medicine could be determined.

A group of people pushed open the experimental door and were taken aback to see the crowd outside the mushroom house, but they didn't pay much attention. Their immediate priority was to go to the hospital to get data proving that their research and development had been successful.

A large group of people ignored the questions from those around them and got into their cars to head to the hospital.

"Brother Chen!"

Zhao Xiaogu was holding her child, with Ya Ya, Shi Shi, and a group of other women standing beside her. They also wanted to know what Chen Qing was doing.

"I'll tell you when I get back. I'm going to the hospital now." Chen Qing explained to Zhao Xiaogu, then went to the entrance of the Mushroom House and instructed the security guards, "Please keep an eye on the lab door for me. Don't let anyone in from now on."

Those present were all acquaintances and some TV reporters they had worked with, but it's always good to be safe just in case.

"Don't worry, sir, I guarantee not even a mosquito will be able to get in." The leading man saluted to assure him, then hesitated before asking, "Sir, should we report this to our superiors?"

Although he didn't know what Chen Qing and the experts had figured out that night, judging from their demeanor, the man felt that this matter was clearly not simple. Furthermore, the fact that Chen Qing had troubled them to take action now indicated that the matter had exceeded their expectations.

Chen Qing hesitated slightly at the guard's words, but finally nodded in response, "Report it to your superiors! There's no need for a big reaction; the specific situation is still undetermined."

Although this medicine is called a primary treatment, and its name doesn't seem to have much to do with the military, the actual probability of the military using this medicine is no lower than that of hospitals, and may even be higher.

Therefore, it wouldn't hurt to report this to higher authorities; I imagine some people there are already waiting for their response.

After receiving Chen Qing's affirmative reply, the man's attitude became even more serious, and he immediately ordered the other comrades to stop resting and come to guard the Mushroom House.

The crowd, who had been asked to leave, were shocked as they watched the fully armed troops from afar. They had initially thought they could get some attention and a reward, but now it seemed that the situation had far exceeded their expectations.

The troops, fully armed, have taken over; it's not something these small-time troop carriers can handle. The smart thing to do is to shut down the equipment and watch the show from a distance.
