Logging 10,000 Years into the Future

Chapter 41: Thats him!

Chapter 41 – That's him!

But that was just a teacher at school.

Who was Xiao Yuhe?

He was the president of the Baihe City’s Martial Arts Association, one of the bigwigs of the Baihe City.

There was simply no comparison between the two.

Looking at the bronze-coloured badge that her parents held in their hands and were flipping over and over, just short of taking a bite out of it, that it occurred to Lu Qinghe.

There was a time when one of the students in her class secretly brought her dad’s badge to school to show off to them, and she had seen it once.

But that was only a Level 1 Martial Artist badge. This was the first time she was seeing a Level 2 Martial Artist badge.

What’s more, there was a bonus. A sum of million yuan in prize money! Today was also the day she found out a scholarship could be so outrageous!

It was such a huge shock that Lu Qinghe was stunned by the impact.

She sat on the sofa for a long while, and only when her mood eased up a little did she get up.

“Mom and Dad, I’m going back to my room.” Lu Qinghe said. Her parents didn’t respond.

Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen were still staring at the two items in their hands and chattering about it amongst themselves.

A sourness inexplicably roe in Lu Qinghe’s heart.

This was the first time she had been ignored by her parents since she was a child, or was she feeling this because of her brother, Lu Sheng?

It's so unfair …

…

“No results yet?” He Ling Su asked as she walked around the shop impatiently.

Ma Fei cautiously answered, “I can occasionally get in touch with him, but every time, before I could even say anything, he hangs up on me.”

"Useless! Weren't you patting your chest and saying it was absolutely no problem earlier? I trusted you…" He Ling Su stomped her foot and pointed at Ma Fei’s nose, chastising him.

Ma Fei felt suffocated, but he didn’t dare refute her. Who told him to make such promises? He had lost all face now.

He Ling Su was so annoyed. It had been a week. It had been more than a week, and she still hadn’t been able to meet the mysterious pharmacist. She didn’t even know what he looked like or what his name was.

If she couldn’t meet him, she couldn’t get the new potion.

Without the new medicine, there was no way for the He family to get out of their current predicament. That was why He Ling Su was so anxious and angry that she had barely slept well for the past week, and her skin had even dulled considerably.

All her time and energy went into this new medicine, and while she was at it, she had received news about several other medicines, but she didn’t go.

She was afraid that if she walked away, she would miss out if the mysterious pharmacist returned. In theory, this was not necessary at all, casting more nets usually meant you can catch more fish.

But the current situation couldn’t be dealt merely with common sense.

During this week, He Ling Su kept analysing the pharmacology and ingredients of that mysterious medicinal liquid. The deeper her studies went, the more astonishing results she obtained.

The efficacy of this unknown supplement, in strengthening blood, exceeded all the Grade 1 and Grade 2 supplements that were available in the market, which met the standards released by the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, and even surpassed some of the Grade 3 supplements.

Not only that, but it had more than a dozen additional effects, with almost non-existent side effects, and the overall effective period was frighteningly long.

And with such excellent medicinal conditions, the cost of this supplement …

Surprisingly, it is only more than double the cost of Blood Nourishing Potion! Which wasn’t even considered a proper supplement! God! It wasn’t even officially recognized as a Grade 1 Supplement.

Nowadays, Blood Nourishing Potion was at best a health supplement, and only families with poor economic conditions would buy it as a potion for martial arts training.

But this wasn’t the most crucial point about this mysterious supplement.

He Ling Su had to search through the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association’s database, but didn’t find a single mention of this supplement.

There was nothing similar either.

What were its implications? It meant that, in all likelihood, this was a new supplement that had just been developed.

A great new medicine with epoch-making significance!

This was why He Ling Su was so adamant, clinging to it, throwing her weight around, and insisting on putting all her eggs in one basket.

This was not a basket, this was a gold mine that could bring the He family back from the dead!

It was just that … This golden mountain was now visible and untouchable, and she had yet to find a way to the foot of the golden mountain.

He Ling Su sighed softly and tiredly rubbed her temples.

“He … Miss He …” She heard Ma Fei call her.

“What is it?!” He Ling Su asked unenthusiastically.

Ma Fei had no skill whatsoever, but he was top-notch in bragging; she couldn’t stand the sight of him.

“I … I’ve found that master.”

“What?!” He Ling Su froze for a moment, and her whole body jumped up. “Where is he? Where’s that master?!”

Only to see Ma Fei with an incredibly strange expression on his face, his eyes staring straight in one direction. He then pointed out using his finger.

“Right there.”

He Ling Su immediately turned her head and what she saw was the television set placed in the lobby of the pharmacy.

A news message was being broadcast on the television at the moment.

“… Yesterday, an incomparably outstanding martial arts genius has appeared in our city. At only 17 years old, he passed the official examination for a Level 2 Martial Artist, and his Combat Power Index even reached the standard of a Level 3 Martial Artist.

“This feat has broken all previous records for martial artists previously set in our city for his age group. Even the president of the Martial Arts Association, Mr. Xiao Yuhe, expressed his high appreciation and encouragement for this young martial arts genius.

“This martial arts genius, Lu Sheng, who is currently studying in Class 5 Senior Year of Baihe High School.

It is understood that student Lu Sheng …”

He Ling Su was staring at the television in a daze, when she heard Ma Fei’s hushed voice.

“Miss He, the one who borrowed our blending room, and the one we have trying to contact … it’s this Lu Sheng.”

“What?!” He Ling Su’s eyes snapped wide open.

Lu Sheng … martial arts genius… a master pharmacist …

He Ling Su looked at the young and almost juvenile face, with handsome features, that was announced in the news. Her mind buzzed for a moment, as if a hundred planes were flying over her head at the same time.
