Back to the 90s: I Helped the Beautiful Factory Manager Become an Arms Tycoon

Qiu Meizi raised an eyebrow smugly and said, "Don't forget what I do."

Qiu Meizi's medical skills were quite good, so it was easy for her to develop a poison that only she knew about.

The problem is that with limited resources, the poisons we can produce won't be very effective.

"Stop beating around the bush, what are you planning to do?"

Seeing that Qiu Meizi had a solution, Lin Yunhai stopped rushing and waited patiently for her good idea.

Qiu Meizi said, "When I was in school, I knew a senior who knew some Gu techniques. I studied with him for a while. I couldn't make intractable poisons in a short time, but I could still do Gu techniques."

When Qiu Meizi talked about that senior, her eyes lit up, clearly showing her admiration.

This made Lin Yunhai feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He became extremely curious about the senior that Qiu Meizi had mentioned.

Having spent so much time with Qiu Meizi, this was the first time he had ever seen her show such an expression of admiration for any man other than him.

"Gu magic is very troublesome. Is it too late for you to learn it now?"

"There's still time, but you'll need to come with me up the mountain to find something."

The two set off immediately. After instructing Xu Bao to keep an eye on Jin Shao, they went directly to the mountain to find what Qiu Meizi wanted.

Because he was interested in the senior that Qiu Meizi mentioned, Lin Yunhai asked a lot of questions about that senior along the way.

Qiu Meizi didn't hide anything and told everyone she knew.

According to Qiu Meizi, that senior was practically an all-rounder, capable of everything, a top student in their medical school, handsome, and had many admirers.

He is gentle and refined, and acts with kindness; he is a popular figure at school.

The two had a pretty good relationship when they were in school, and they had originally planned to study abroad together.

However, after the old factory director suddenly fell ill, Qiu Meizi was forced to return to the arsenal, and the two lost contact.

This senior had become a blur in her memory. If it weren't for the mention of Gu techniques today, she wouldn't even remember that she had such an outstanding senior.

"You're just seeing things through a rose-tinted lens. There's no such thing as a perfect person."

After listening to Qiu Meizi's explanation, Lin Yunhai couldn't help but complain.

No one is perfect. The senior that Qiu Meizi mentioned was so perfect that he was almost not a normal person. This situation can only mean one thing: this person is an out-and-out hypocrite.

However, to get to that point in school, this hypocrite was quite good at pretending.

Qiu Meizi explained, "I used to think that way too, but after meeting him, he shattered my preconceived notions."

"I used to believe that no one is perfect, but his appearance made me realize that perhaps some people are born perfect."

Lin Yunhai fell silent, not wanting to continue the topic.

Because if he continues talking, he will only be the one who suffers.

The mountains and forests next to the county town were not very large, but few people came here, and there were almost no roads to walk on, so the two of them had some difficulty walking.

What is it that you want?

Lin Yunhai looked at the sweat on Qiu Meizi's forehead and carefully wiped it away for her.

"I was looking for tiny poisonous insects, anything would do. I didn't study much back then, so I didn't know many things, and I could only make the simplest Gu insects."

"But it's alright. As long as we have Jin Shao under control for now, I can study it properly when I get back. When we give him the antidote, we can take the opportunity to replace the simple one with the difficult one."

Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. They showed no mercy to Jin Shao; all they could do was maximize their own interests.

Having set a goal, the two headed deeper into the mountains and forests.

After nearly reaching their destination, Qiu Meizi stopped, then took out a packet of powder from her backpack and sprinkled it while saying, "Cover your mouth and nose, don't smell this."

Lin Yunhai obediently covered his mouth and nose and took several steps back.

After Qiu Meizi finished doing everything, she placed a small bottle behind the powder and took the opportunity to sprinkle some more powder into the bottle.

After doing all this, Qiu Meizi returned to Lin Yunhai's side, and the two then hid in a nearby tree.

"Does this really work?"

The two had been squatting in the tree for several tens of minutes, but there was no movement at the spot where the powder had been sprinkled, which made Lin Yunhai doubt whether the plan could succeed.

"Don't worry, senior has never failed when he does this."

Well, just thinking about that so-called perfect senior made Lin Yunhai's heart ache.

He admitted that he was jealous.

About twenty minutes later, a faint rustling sound came from the woods.

"coming."

Qiu Meizi was so excited that she almost fell off the tree.

"Be careful, don't get agitated."

Lin Yunhai quickly put his arm around her waist and held her in his arms.

The rustling sound grew louder and louder, and soon they saw many tiny insects crawling in from all directions, heading straight for the place where the powder had been sprinkled.

Are there so many poisonous insects in these mountains?

Lin Yunhai was somewhat surprised.

They hadn't seen any insects along the way, but they never expected that Qiu Meizi's powder would attract so many poisonous insects.

This is too dangerous. If you accidentally get lost in the mountains and forests and encounter these poisonous insects, you might lose your life.

"Mountains and forests are inherently dangerous, and no one knows what dangers lie inside. This is why many people come to the mountains and forests to take risks, but ultimately do not come out."

“It’s not that there are no poisonous insects here, but these insects usually rest in their own territory. Today I used the smell of the powder to stimulate them all.”

"There's going to be a great show later, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Seeing her mysterious demeanor, Lin Yunhai was filled with curiosity about what was to come.

Soon, Lin Yunhai learned what the "good show" Qiu Meizi was talking about was.

Many poisonous insects were attracted by the powder, and after they gathered together, they actually started fighting.

A large group of insects wriggling together—the sight alone was enough to send chills down your spine and give you goosebumps.

"Why are they fighting?"

"The smell of the powder will trigger their aggression. Two tigers cannot share one mountain; they cannot tolerate each other's existence, so naturally they will fight."

"Survival of the fittest, the poisonous insects that can serve as carriers for Gu magic must be the best, so they need to fight each other to leave the best one behind."

Not only do humans fight, insects do too.

To be precise, all things in the world must follow the natural law of survival of the fittest.

Especially in chaotic times, only the strong can survive; this is an unchangeable fact.

"Their war was quite intense."

"Human warfare is the same, there's no difference, is there?"
