Ingenious Use

Previously: (Because Chapter 42 was censored and will most likely never be released): Xiao He had relied on his Superpower to defeat all kinds of viruses named "Lin Tiannan" and obtained a large number of antibodies.

"Tch, that was nothing. I got it done in ten minutes... I thought it would be dangerous. Looks like viruses aren't as hard to deal with as math problems. I was nowhere near my limit." Xiao He seemed thoroughly unimpressed afterward.

"Stop acting so proud." Ye Wanqing said irritably. "Didn't you see what a mess you were when you had that fever just now?"

Xiao He immediately clicked his tongue in displeasure, while Cui Man laughed from the side. "Exactly. Wanqing was worried sick about you just now."

"She was worried?" Xiao He raised a brow and looked at Ye Wanqing suspiciously. Her face reddened. "When was I?!"

"How were you not? You were so distressed, and you even questioned me." Cui Man said seriously.

"I... That was because... Even if it were a stranger, anyone would have found it unbearable to watch!" Ye Wanqing snapped, blushing furiously. "It has nothing to do with whether he's my boyfriend!"

"So you really were distressed." Cui Man nodded, then patted Xiao He on the shoulder and teased, "Looks like you two can sleep in the master bedroom together tonight. How nice."

"No!" Ye Wanjun glared at Xiao He angrily. "If you dare enter my room, I'll call the police!"

"I never said I was going in." Xiao He rolled his eyes. "I'm starving. Is there anything to eat?"

"There's staff food... Or would you rather wait until you get home for your girlfriend's loving dinner?" Cui Man teased, but then a researcher hurried in from behind them. "Commander Cui! We found something incredible!"

Cui Man turned and glared at the researcher who had interrupted her, her expression seemingly saying, If this isn't important, I'll kill you. The researcher was so frightened that he hurriedly explained, "The blood Yinglong drew earlier—we made some new discoveries..."

Cui Man raised her brows, finally showing some interest. She instructed a soldier nearby, "Get him something to eat. Don't send him home yet; we may need him later."

So Xiao He and Ye Wanqing returned to the training room outside. The soldier brought him some snacks and a boxed meal, but it was about the same as the food he had eaten during military training: bland cafeteria fare with barely any oil.

"It's not as good as your cooking. This is so bland..." Xiao He complained as he ate.

"Just make do with it." Ye Wanqing frowned, though she felt a little pleased inside. "I'll make you a late-night snack when we get back, all right? Just eat a little now to fill your stomach. You need to replenish your strength quickly."

"Mm..." Xiao He responded and continued eating gloomily beside her.

"Is your body all right? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Ye Wanqing asked as she unscrewed a bottle of juice. Xiao He silently took it from her, opened the cap, and handed it back. "Other than the spot on my arm where they stuck the needle hurting a little, I'm fine."

"Then... then... just bear with it." Ye Wanqing stammered, not knowing what else to say, so she lowered her head and took a sip of the drink.

She realized that Xiao He felt a little different now. He had become a little gentler... even if only by a little.

At that moment, Cui Man rushed in from outside and, without a word, pulled Xiao He into her arms.

"What's going on?!" Xiao He was surprised by this sudden perk, but he did not dare move.

"Your Superpower is a miracle!" Cui Man said joyfully. "Just now, those researchers found a special antibody in your blood sample. This antibody can inflict devastating damage on nearly every known virus and bacterium, and it can even revert cancerous cells back into normal cells! Do you know what that means?"

"You're not going to drain all my blood, are you?" Xiao He asked with a frown.

"Not at all. There's too little of it. Even if we drained you dry, the antibodies in your body would only be enough to treat one or two people. It wouldn't be worth it." Cui Man waved a hand, then smiled excitedly. "But we've already isolated this special antibody. What we know so far is that it really is produced within the human body! We don't know how it is produced or where it comes from, but if we can synthesize it artificially..."

"Then wouldn't every kind of cancer in the world be curable?" Ye Wanqing asked excitedly from beside them.

Cui Man winked at her. "That's right! Although artificial synthesis may take several years, or even more than a decade, the good news is that we have enough samples. We'll definitely find a way to synthesize it as soon as possible and benefit all humanity! Human medicine can take a huge step forward! And this is only preliminary research. It's very possible that these antibodies have extraordinary effects on other diseases as well!"

As she spoke, Cui Man patted Xiao He on the shoulder. "Come donate blood every month, kid. Big sis can reward you with your favorite breasts."

"I don't mind if it's just donating blood..." Xiao He replied with his arms folded. He felt it was worthwhile if he could contribute to curing those terminal illnesses, though he was a little worried that someone might do something crazy to him because of it.

Cui Man added, "Also, after your body defeats a virus, it produces memory cells for that virus. Even if that virus's name changes back, the memory cells in your body won't disappear. Understand? Your immunity will remain, which counts as a kind of enhancement for you."

"All right..." Xiao He shrugged. Cui Man sighed. "The flu has been raging in Nanhua City lately, and it's quite troublesome. Maybe your ability will come in handy very soon."

Only after they drew another tube of blood from him could Xiao He finally leave with Ye Wanqing. Before leaving, they saw Xie Haining and Xia Yu eating in the lounge.

Unlike the two of them, those two did not need to attend classes, so they trained here full-time.

This was also related to their abilities. Xiao He's fighting primarily relied on his power; once he activated his Superpower, he could basically solve the problem. Training therefore meant far less to him than it did to Xie Haining and Xia Yu.

"What are their codenames?" Xiao He suddenly asked curiously.

"They haven't been decided yet. We'll consider it when they get a chance to appear." Cui Man lowered her voice. "But they need a big enough stage to make a brilliant entrance. Otherwise, foreign media will mock them."

"But what about their training?" Ye Wanqing asked curiously.

Cui Man smiled. "Xia Yu's Superpower is quite formidable too. She can still unleash its power even without training. As for Xie Haining... that guy is something else. His ability is actually very suitable for bringing out human techniques. You'll find out when the day comes for him to go into action."

When they got outside, it was raining heavily again. It had been pouring for several days straight.

"It's been raining nonstop lately. It's so annoying..." Ye Wanqing frowned at the gloomy sky.

"Isn't that nice? Young couples can stay home and work out." Cui Man teased, then instructed her attendant behind her, "Old Li, take them home. I won't be coming along."

The square-faced driver who was always responsible for taking them home answered and waved at them. "Come on, I'll take you back."
