School of Pharmacy Laboratory.
A group of child prodigies bustled around the instruments, working methodically and systematically. The flustered scene from when they had first entered the laboratory last year had long since disappeared. Intense training had turned everyone into veterans, and steady confidence radiated from their every movement.
Liver Team leader Zhu Shunan had a neat short haircut. At first glance, she looked like a handsome young man, but she was actually a woman. With one hand in her pocket and the other holding the data submitted by her subordinates, she read it carefully.
After reading for a long while, she gave a satisfied hum, picked up the red marker from the side, and walked to the window.
A large sheet of white paper was pasted to the window. On it was a long progress bar with clear, thermometer-like markings. Most of it had already been colored red, reaching 93 percent. Zhu Shunan raised the marker and continued coloring, filling the bar to 95 percent!
A burst of cheers immediately rang out in the laboratory. Some people clapped, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.
"Who submitted this application for monkeys in the middle of the night?"
The laboratory door was suddenly shoved open. Qi Feng charged in with an unfriendly expression, holding a sheet of paper aloft as he shouted.
Everyone turned to look at him, then turned to look at Team Leader Zhu.
By the window, Zhu Shunan calmly capped the marker and turned around. "I submitted it. Is there a problem?"
"Why did you apply for 900 monkeys?" Qi Feng asked, his brows knitted tightly as he strode toward her.
"Because we need 900." Zhu Shunan was serious. "It is indeed a lot, but we really need that many."
"Are you crazy? What were you thinking?
