Sister Zhou Supports You

Zhou Yueyan has been having a very difficult time lately because of family problems.

Of course, the Zhou Household is not the first large Lineage to have to abide by the rules for the elderly.

Four years have passed since the establishment of the Old Age Residence.

Initially, the Old Age Mansion needed Luo Tianming and others to set an example. But when Zhou Xin toured various places, everyone who met the age requirement and was in the Sixth Sequence had to go in, regardless of whether they wanted to or not.

There are now more than forty people living in the twilight years' mansion.

These people include high-ranking elderly people from Western Capital City, as well as high-ranking elderly people from Lineage in other provinces and cities.

With the exception of a few possible escapees, almost all the dangerous elements from the Scarlet Alliance State who were supposed to be incarcerated have been incarcerated.

Zhou Xin, who promoted the plan for old age, was no exception and also needed to abide by the rules for old age.

However, Zhou Xin had one more option than the average elderly person. For him, who was not yet old enough, Qin Zhou Xin was his final destination.

This temporary bill was bogged down in the Sequence Committee for a long time, and many senior high- Sequence Holder Sequence Holder the Elderly Mansion participated in it. They were even given a choice, which allowed Zhou Xin to board the ship bound for Qin Meng.

Zhou Xin acted swiftly and decisively within the Scarlet Alliance State, and his departure was equally graceful, without any hesitation or reluctance.

Zhou Na, disheartened, also left the Scarlet Alliance State at the same time as Zhou Xin.

With the die cast and everything settled, Zhou Yueyan could hardly reverse it.

As the leading Lineage of the Scarlet Alliance State, the Zhou Household having only one Fifth Sequence and one Fourth Sequence as pillars is clearly untenable.

If the Sequence Committee had not made a ten-year agreement regarding the Lineage's transformation, the Zhou Household would have had to be divided immediately after Zhou Xin left.

However, Zhou Yueyan and her group will not have much time to spare, as no one will allow a weak Lineage to control such vast resources.

In the next ten years, the Zhou Household will need at least one member to break into the Sixth Sequence, or even someone with extremely strong Sixth Sequence power, or someone to step into the Seventh Sequence to replace Zhou Xin, for the Zhou Household to smoothly transition through everything.

This is a very ambitious goal.

Regardless of what others think, even Zhou Yueyan herself lacks confidence.

As the logistical supporter of the Zhou Household's scientific research, Zhou Yueyan felt that it would be quite difficult for Zhou Rihui to enter the Sixth Sequence, while entering the Seventh Sequence would depend on fate.

Nevertheless, Zhou Yueyan was busy with all sorts of things.

The threshold conditions for Zhou Rihui's Sixth Sequence include factors such as physical condition and blood serum, which can only be expanded upon by Zhou Rihui.

In the Seventh Sequence, which involves deciding the fate of the world in one fell swoop, hunting ferocious beasts is required. Zhou Xin's efforts and Zhou Yueyan's efforts in providing logistical support are necessary for its completion.

This also involves the Spirit-Forging Pill manufactured by Zhang Xuezhou.

Upon hearing the news of the Zhang Household's large-scale purchase of medicinal herbs, Zhou Yueyan dropped everything and rushed over.

But Zhou Yueyan didn't expect that while she was in a hurry, Zhang Xuezhou was exposed to the sun from morning until noon.

If Zhang Manqian and others hadn't stopped her, Zhou Yueyan would have loved to pick up Zhang Xuezhou and tell him not to waste his time.

"I was just trying it out casually, why are you in such a hurry? Have you finished arguing with Professor Luo Hui?" Zhang Xuezhou asked Zhou Yueyan.

"You can casually play around and get two million to buy medicinal herbs?" Zhou Yueyan complained. "You guys bought out several tonic pharmacies in Western Capital City yesterday, and some medicinal cuisine restaurants can't even open today!"

Two million isn't a lot!

Zhang Xuezhou purchased around 200,000 medicinal herbs to refine the Spirit Spirit-Forging Pill, and the total cost for multiple batches of refining pills was around one million.

His current method for refining the elixir of immortality is concentration, and he has decided to increase the specifications tenfold in his budget.

These two million were indeed the cost of his one-time refining of the Creation Pill.

As one's cultivation level continues to rise, the cost of cultivation techniques also increases.

But compared to resources like blood serum for sequence enhancement, his expenses are nothing.

Zhang Xuezhou might even recycle and resell them.

Zhou Yueyan arrived a little early, but that wasn't a problem.

When Zhang Xuezhou learned that Zhou Yueyan had criticized Professor Luo Hui, and that Professor Luo Hui was now in charge of treating Ning Que's injuries, Zhang Xuezhou nodded with great satisfaction.

"Do you want to combine it with a stronger emetic?" Zhou Yueyan asked directly.

"I have that idea," Zhang Xuezhou nodded, "But I don't know if it will work, and it would cost two million to try it once, so my chances of failure are slim!"

"Money is nothing. If you're short of funds, Sister Zhou will give you 20 million," Zhou Yueyan said casually.

"Then I'll have ten more chances to try," Zhang Xuezhou said with satisfaction. "I'm severely short of funds. If you're willing to help, please buy 20 million worth of medicinal herbs for me right now!"

"You really want to buy it?" Zhou Yueyan asked, stunned.

"I'll really buy it!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Concentrated medicinal herbs can be used to refine Creation Pills, while unconcentrated herbs can be combined to refine Spirit-Forging Pill. Zhang Xuezhou felt that he wouldn't waste any of these methods.

It was rare for Zhou Yueyan to be so generous as to offer cash support, so he accepted it without hesitation after she asked.

"Okay, Sister Zhou supports you!"

Zhou Yueyan was willing to provide Zhang Xuezhou with funds to allocate more potent emetics, but she never expected the support to come so quickly.

She doesn't care much about investing in experiments with a chance of success, but she's here without understanding anything yet, and she's about to invest 20 million.

This made Zhou Yueyan feel that it was a bit unreliable.

She wanted to first see the progress of Zhang Xuezhou's research, as well as the difficulties encountered in developing new products. Once she had a more comprehensive understanding, she would invest her money without any ulterior motives.

But after only a few words in their conversation, Zhou Yueyan has already lost 20 million yuan, which is a sum she needs to cash out immediately.

For a moment, she wished she could slap herself twice to shut up that rude remark from thirty seconds ago.

"If you support us, act immediately!" Zhang Xuezhou urged. "Your family is so wealthy and powerful; procuring medicinal herbs can be a piece of cake for you. We have to run around to several stores in Western Capital City to buy even a small amount, and they won't let us buy more!"

"Why don't you try applying for a different major first?" Zhou Yueyan asked.

"I have a high chance of failing, so I figured I'd feel more at ease if you had all the medicinal herbs ready," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"How tall is 'very tall'?" Zhou Yueyan asked.

"Theoretically speaking, my success rate should be around five percent," Zhang Xuezhou said. "But I've always been lucky, so I think I should have a chance of succeeding once every twenty or so attempts!"

"If you only have a 5% success rate..."

Zhou Yueyan had previously thought that Zhang Xuezhou's emetics were cheap and effective, but she suddenly realized that the cost of preparing the medication was not low either.

Five percent on average seems to mean one success out of twenty attempts, but it's also possible to fail ninety-five times in a row and lose everything, or even reduce the chance to fifty per thousand. It's quite normal to fail hundreds of times. If Zhang Xuezhou's success rate in preparing the medicine is around five percent instead of just over five percent, this number will drop even further.

Zhang Xuezhou's words might fool some ordinary calculators, but they couldn't possibly deceive someone like her who spends all her time in the lab.

Hearing about the low success rate, Zhou Yueyan felt a chill run down her spine, thinking that Zhang Xuezhou's work on developing this kind of emetic might be a bottomless pit.

She was the one who had no choice but to get involved.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Zhou Household must make significant investments over the next ten years, and Zhang Xuezhou's vomiting medication is one such investment.

Even though Zhou Xin was already quite old, only five years away from old age, his thinking became less controllable with age, so she had to invest a huge amount of money to push things forward quickly.

This 20 million yuan may just be an appetizer.
