Secret Medicine

As Wang Dong, who had been reborn, knew very well, as long as he inherited Yuan Shu's "War Axe," all the aforementioned problems could be solved.

This was because the War Axe possessed several ship modules with truly top-tier functions.

But he couldn't show it.

Don't be fooled by Yuan Shu's current amiable demeanor and think he's like the "wise old mentor" from a novel.

To persist in causing trouble for the Jin Family for decades while being pursued by them – is that something an ordinary person could do?

Before his rebirth, even with a golden finger, Wang Dong only lasted a little over ten years under the Jin Family's pursuit.

Therefore, Wang Dong was currently fully immersing himself in the role-play of "a promising young man."

Every word and action had to fit the "persona"; otherwise, if Yuan Shu noticed anything amiss...

Wang Dong knew very clearly that the Levistan Civilization's military-grade stimulant lasted for twenty-four hours, not a mere one hour!

Yuan Shu wasn't entirely without other options.

Wang Dong was not the right choice; there were plenty of other candidates in the mining area!

Yuan Shu had been exploring the galaxy for decades and wasn't just a naive noble scion. A little thought from Wang Dong was enough for him to understand the reasons for his refusal.

"It was my oversight. I forgot that young Wang Dong and people like us didn't inhabit the same world before," Yuan Shu said with some emotion. "I took command of the War Axe when I was thirty and have been exploring the galaxy for over seventy years. I've long forgotten what life is like for planetary residents."

Planetary residents were the term for ordinary people who lived their entire lives on planets and could not freely venture into space.

It was a neutral term, without any praise or criticism.

A rather fitting description.

Much like calling someone a "frog at the bottom of a well."

"Young Wang Dong, I'll take the liberty of calling myself an elder brother, as I am older and have seen more people and things. I understand you have your own ideas and know more than most, but perhaps you haven't reached the right level of exposure yet."

Yuan Shu struggled to unbuckle his seatbelt, which held him in his seat, and slowly straightened his body.

"I've been at odds with the Jin Family for so many years, yet I'm still living freely. The Jin Family has repeatedly increased the bounty on my head, but they still can't do anything to me. It wasn't until this time, when the Jin Family found the family of a key crew member and coerced and tempted him into betraying me and setting a trap, that they finally succeeded. The reason I've evaded the Jin Family's pursuit for decades isn't just luck. Nor is it the combat power of the War Axe. It's the foundation of my Yuan Family, which the Jin Family covets – the additional ship modules with special functions that my ancestors obtained while exploring the galaxy!"

"Additional ship modules?" Wang Dong asked, sounding surprised. "Aren't the modules on a Kindling Warship called ship modules? What does 'additional ship module' mean?"

"It seems you don't know enough about Kindling Warships. Ship modules are divided into two types: standard modules and additional modules. This is common knowledge. The War Axe's Shipborne Optical Computer has files on this; you can check them yourself later," Yuan Shu chuckled.

Wang Dong feigned a look of realization but still shook his head. "Mr. Yuan, hearing you say this gives me some confidence, but there's still one crucial prerequisite that I have no certainty about."

"What prerequisite?" Yuan Shu asked, puzzled.

"As far as I know, to become the Captain of a Kindling Warship, one must fuse with the ship's shipboard fire seed. The success rate of this fusion is very low. Unless one can cultivate the body-refining technique to an advanced level, it's not a guaranteed success." Wang Dong said with some shame, "I'm not part of the privileged class and don't have the qualification to practice the body-refining technique. I might not even be able to fuse with the shipboard fire seed."

Yuan Shu slightly shook his head. "The fusion success rate you're referring to is for the first-generation Kindling Warships. Transferring captaincy doesn't require considering the fire seed fusion success rate or the cultivation level of the body-refining technique; it's guaranteed to succeed."

Wang Dong nodded blankly. This was a question he had to ask. As he said, "persona" was very important. He needed to display certain excellent qualities, such as calmness, composure, and meticulous thinking, so that Yuan Shu would believe Wang Dong could cause trouble for the Jin Family in the future and wouldn't have any concerns about "choosing the wrong person." At the same time, he had to maintain a proper balance, not appearing too outrageous by knowing information far beyond what a normal person could access, or by being completely indifferent and just wanting to take over the captaincy.

"You can research the specific details later. Believe me, it will be a pleasant surprise," Yuan Shu's speech quickened, with a hint of impatience.

"Alright, I'll listen to you, Mr. Yuan. Of course, if you have any other instructions, please give them to me as well," Wang Dong said, nodding with some reluctance, knowing when to stop.

Yuan Shu would undoubtedly have other conditions. Why else would he have gone to such lengths to explain all this, just to hand over the warship to Wang Dong before his death? How naive.

"Very well, then let's settle things clearly first." Yuan Shu's voice weakened slightly.

As if receiving a command, the rotating intelligent medical robot that had been hovering above Yuan Shu slowly moved in front of Wang Dong. Then, a dark green syringe extended from one of its mechanical arms.
