Approval Granted

Forget it. Even if he couldn't earn points in the Main World, it wasn't that big a deal.

Although Li Mu Chuan was disappointed, he still kept his patience.

He had been away for a while during his crossing, and a layer of dust had settled in his room. After Li Mu Chuan cleaned it, it was already noon.

The little he had eaten that morning had mostly been digested, so Li Mu Chuan found a restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

As he ate, he pondered what he should bring with him on his next crossing.

His portable space was not particularly large. He could bring some food, and then there were weapons.

He couldn't possibly bring just a little knife or something, could he?

At that thought, Li Mu Chuan frowned slightly.

Or should he just fill his entire space with food when the time came?

Li Mu Chuan considered it for a moment and felt that it seemed possible.

After eating, Li Mu Chuan had nothing to do, so he went to the Movie Theater, bought a ticket, and watched a film.

Li Mu Chuan rather liked watching movies. It was work hours at the moment, and there was practically no one in the theater, so it was as though he had rented out the whole place for himself.

Holding an Iced Cola in his hand and watching the movie alone, Li Mu Chuan felt incredibly refreshed.

That was the benefit of not having a job. He could do whatever he wanted and act as he pleased.

By the time the movie ended, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Li Mu Chuan headed straight into the gym.

This time, he had around a month in the Main World. He could train some more over the course of that month.

A month of training would be enough to improve Li Mu Chuan's physical fitness a little further.

It just wasn't as effective as directly adding points.

Time flew by. More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. During those days, Li Mu Chuan spent several hours at the gym every day, only leaving once his entire body was weak with exhaustion.

Aside from working out, Li Mu Chuan would search around for tasty food, and his spending increased considerably.

He had originally eaten at places that cost five or six hundred per person, but gradually moved up to the eight or nine hundred range.

He did not have much money in hand, but that did not stop Li Mu Chuan from believing that money was meant to be spent once it was earned.

There was still a little over a hundred thousand left on his card. It wasn't much, but it wasn't little either.

Li Mu Chuan scrolled through his contacts and looked at the familiar names there. He rubbed his brow, but in the end, he still chose not to make the call.

Forget it. Once he earned a little more money, he would give some support to his family.

Li Mu Chuan looked at the familiar names in his contacts, then shook his head.

Li Mu Chuan had originally been an orphan. He grew up in an orphanage before later being adopted.

The Parents who adopted Li Mu Chuan had initially been unable to have children, which was why they thought of adopting one. No one knew why, but they had taken a liking to Li Mu Chuan back then.

Yet not long after adopting Li Mu Chuan, the two of them unexpectedly conceived a child and gave birth to a Daughter.

After their Daughter was born, their feelings toward Li Mu Chuan did not change. They did not show any particular favoritism, and they raised Li Mu Chuan all the way through college.

It was only after Li Mu Chuan grew older that he learned they had been unable to conceive for so long, so they had sought out a Taoist Priest. The Taoist Priest said that the two of them were missing something, and that if they adopted a child, they would be able to have one of their own.

It sounded rather mystical, but after they adopted Li Mu Chuan, they really did conceive.

"Forget it. Once the patent is sold, it won't be too late to help out at home. I can just make up some excuse then."

Li Mu Chuan put down his phone and rubbed his brow.

He had been out for so long without earning any money. Before this, he had always wanted to contribute a little toward the household expenses.

Unfortunately, his monthly salary had been so little.

Thinking about this, Li Mu Chuan stopped the treadmill and prepared to rest at the side for a while.

However, at that moment, Li Mu Chuan's phone vibrated slightly, and a text message appeared on the screen.

The patent application had been approved? So fast?

Li Mu Chuan carefully looked over his phone, and his heart jolted.

Patents like this generally took an especially long time to review. He had not expected this patent application of his to go through so quickly.

Delighted, Li Mu Chuan hurriedly took out his phone to look up his patent number. After searching with it, he confirmed that it had passed review and been entered into the system.

Next, they should send Li Mu Chuan the Patent Certificate and make a public announcement.

Once a patent application was approved, there would always be such a procedure—a public announcement.

Relevant companies would keep an eye on such announcements, which directly saved Li Mu Chuan quite a bit of trouble.

"Gene Immunity Serum? What is that? It's already received a patent?"

Looking at the announcement in front of him, an executive at a pharmaceutical company frowned at the patent. He had just come across this patent announcement.

Companies like his would all pay attention to relevant patents.

After carefully opening the patent and reading it, the executive's expression changed. The teacup beside him fell straight to the floor and shattered.

"Quick, call in our R&D team!"

After studying the patent for a moment, the executive hurriedly summoned his research and development team.

Before any drug could enter the market, it had to undergo lengthy research and development, consume enormous amounts of funding, and pass clinical trials before it could be approved for sale.

If they could directly obtain the relevant formula for a drug, they could skip those steps and save an immense amount of time and money.

As an executive in the relevant field, he naturally possessed a certain level of professional knowledge.

He could tell whether the information in this patent had substance after only a brief look.

At first, he had assumed it was some meaningless patent filed casually by an idle person, but now he realized something was off.

He had to get someone to confirm as soon as possible whether the drug described in the patent had any chance of succeeding.

If it did, they had to buy the patent rights from the owner immediately. If they were even a step too late, the patent might slip out of their hands!

While he was taking notice of the patent, High-Level Executives from many pharmaceutical companies also gradually learned of it.

The circle was only so large. The slightest stir would quickly become known to everyone within it.

Not to mention that some people had extensive connections, so naturally their information would not lag far behind.

Thus, the patent for the Gene Immunity Serum swiftly caused a huge stir throughout the industry.

With a patent like this, the efficacy alone was enough for countless people to understand just how enormous the profits from this piece of the pie could be.

Now that everyone in the circle knew about the patent, the next step was competing for ownership of it.

The only question was whether the patent could truly be mass-produced, whether it could pass clinical trials, and whether its effects were really as powerful as claimed.

In response to these doubts, pharmaceutical company executives immediately began arranging for people to verify it, while also rapidly trying to contact the patent owner.

Both efforts had to proceed at once, without wasting even a moment. Any delay could allow someone else to snatch it away!
