Chapter 57

Wang Ge remembered that for a period of time, his father and mother had been very actively discussing a topic, whether at the dinner table, before bed, or even in the bathroom when they had ideas, they would immediately gather to discuss it.

The topic that his parents talked about back then was that side effects had appeared among the users of the Dibao Essence, which prevented it from passing the Federation's review. The Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Group had issued a bounty in the research team, promising a generous reward to anyone who could come up with a solution to the side effects, as long as it was proven effective.

This situation continued for several months, after which his parents no longer mentioned the topic. However, during that time, his parents seemed to be in particularly good spirits. Wang Ge could remember this because the family's living standards had noticeably improved during that period.

Not only did his parents buy new clothes for Wang Ge and Wang Fei, but there was also more meat on the table. His father occasionally bought a pack of good cigarettes for 100 solar coins, and his mother often browsed beautiful clothes on shopping websites, humming happy tunes.

During that time, even when Wang Ge did poorly on exams, his father did not beat him as he used to, but instead smiled and patiently explained the problems to him, making Wang Ge feel quite surprised and honored.

Then, after some time, the "Double Eleven" explosion occurred in Tiancheng's Third Research Laboratory, and both his parents were killed...

The inspection agency's conclusion at the time was that Wang Ge's parents had violated operating procedures during the experiment, causing the explosion.

Wang Ge was 15 years old, and Wang Fei was 10. How could two minors have any suspicions? They both believed the inspection agency, which represented the authority of the Federation government, and accepted this harsh reality.

However, when he saw the description on the Dibao Essence that it was "purely natural and free of side effects," Wang Ge recalled these past events.

After piecing together his memories and thinking carefully, Wang Ge had a disturbing hypothesis. To verify his hypothesis, he began searching for answers in his notebook.

Although the notebook was messy, his mother Tian Yuan was a meticulous woman who marked the dates. So Wang Ge quickly found what he was looking for...

"May 5, 2091... I never expected that Test Subjects 1, 3, 4, 6, and 9 would all experience intense hallucinations and develop a strong dependence on the Dibao Essence. Within a month, they showed side effects such as mental confusion and memory loss... It's almost like... drugs!

"May 7, 2091... The Dibao Essence will definitely not pass the review, but if it is successfully launched, the benefits it will bring to the company and the group are unimaginable. The company cannot abandon this project, and the group places great importance on it...

"June 1, 2091... The company conveyed the group's bounty. Any researcher who solves this problem, even if they just propose an idea, will receive a 10 million solar coin reward...

"July 1, 2091... President Liang told everyone that whether you are a researcher or a regular technician, you can participate. As long as you can propose an idea and successfully solve the problem, in addition to the 10 million reward, the group will also grant joint authorship when filing for a patent! This is great, now we have a chance. If we can come up with a solution, we can get the reward, buy the Dibao Essence to improve Xiaoge's physical condition and life level, so he can definitely go to college, and we can also take Feifei to the Yan Yun Base to treat her legs...

"July 12, 2091... The root of Polygonum multiflorum can be used as medicine, with effects such as calming the mind, nourishing the blood, promoting circulation, and detoxifying. Perhaps it can...

"July 28, 2091... What if we add saffron? Saffron also has a calming effect! I'll try it tomorrow...

"August 9, 2091... How about Ligusticum chuanxiong?

"August 25, 2091... Time is getting tight. Today, President Zhao from the group said that in addition to the 10 million reward and joint authorship, there will also be a 10% profit share. The pre-sale price is set at 50,000 solar coins per bottle, with at least 20,000 profit per bottle, so 10% is 2,000. This is a great opportunity to change our fate...

"September 2, 2091... Attack with poison! Use deer antler, which has the effects of strengthening the kidneys, enhancing yang, generating essence and blood, and replenishing bone marrow, to counteract the side effects. This is a new idea! Although Old Wang thinks it won't work, I still insist on trying. Even if the deer antler doesn't work, maybe something else will!

"September 30, 2091... The idea of attacking with poison is correct. The final experiment used turtle shell! Although it wasn't the medicine I recommended, the idea was mine, so the bounty should belong to me, right? Old Wang still isn't convinced, hehe...

"October 1, 2091... President Zhang talked to Old Wang and me. The Dibao Essence has been sent for review. Before the results come out, Old Wang and I are to keep the information confidential. After the results are announced, the group will notify and award the prize. On the way back, I couldn't help but cry. It's great, Feifei's legs will definitely be cured, and Xiaoge will definitely go to college...

"November 1, 2091... The Dibao Essence has passed the review, but the company is still keeping the information confidential. When will our reward be awarded? I asked President Liang, and he said the group has a plan, and we should be patient...

"November 5, 2091... The old project is completed, and the new project hasn't started yet. Sitting in the lab every day is so boring. When will the reward be awarded..."

Tian Yuan's notes ended here. It wasn't a diary, so the content was quite messy, but after Wang Ge sorted it out, he finally verified his hypothesis.

The "Double Eleven" explosion in Tiancheng's Third Research Laboratory was determined by the inspection agency to be mainly due to his parents' violation of operating procedures during the experiment. However, his parents were involved in the Dibao Essence research project, which had already been completed and passed the Federation's review for production and sale. The new project hadn't started yet, so what experiment were his parents doing?

Wang Ge bit his lip so hard that the taste of blood filled his mouth.

There must be some hidden reason for his parents' death. Was it "when the birds are gone, the good bow is put away; when the rabbits are dead, the hunting dogs are cooked"? Or was it a murder to cover up the truth for profit?

Tiancheng Genetic Pharmaceutical Company...

Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Group...

Wang Ge looked at the dark night sky with a cold gaze. He had thought his parents died in an accident, so he felt the pain of losing his parents but not hatred. Now, his chest was filled with a burning hatred.

This anger made his handsome face twist, his forehead veins bulge, and his body emit a strong, evil killing aura, like a bloodthirsty insect beast, scaring the birds flying by to fly away quickly.

After a long time, Wang Ge finally exhaled a deep breath, and his entire body returned to calm.

He was still very weak. If he went to confront them now, the only result would be his own death and his sister's involvement.

But soon, he and his sister would enter the Starry Sky University. When he had enough strength, he would definitely investigate this matter!

If his parents were indeed murdered, he would make them pay with their blood!

The night was cool, and Wang Ge stood alone in the night sky for a long time before returning to his bedroom to sleep. He had to act normally to avoid arousing his sister's suspicion.

Before he had enough strength, Wang Ge needed to be patient and pretend.

Perhaps even he didn't realize the change that had occurred in him that night.

He, who had always been calm and composed, even when he had to drop out of school to hang out on Meteor Street, even when he had to save money by eating only one bag of instant noodles for breakfast and lunch, and even after experiencing life-and-death battles in the black market, now had a hint of brutality in his eyes.

The next evening, there was no boxing match, and Wang Ge left home early in the morning, heading to the Four-Faced Mountain.

After his life level increased the previous day, Wang Ge thought about it again and again. The increase in his life level seemed to have no warning, and the events of that day were a boxing match and the consumption of six or seven egg whites.

So, either the life-and-death battle in the boxing match caused his breakthrough, or it was the effect of the egg whites.

Regardless of which one it was, Wang Ge decided to go to the Four-Faced Mountain to hunt insect beasts. He had to work harder to strengthen himself and become powerful as soon as possible.

"Split the Mountain!" Wang Ge shouted, and his large axe, carrying a thousand pounds of force, suddenly slashed down. A flash of light, and blood splattered!

An insect dog was directly cut in half by Wang Ge. Before it hit the ground, its body had already split into two, and its internal organs fell to the ground...

When Wang Ge retracted his large axe, he saw that the blade was not stained with a single drop of blood.

This large axe was both heavy and sharp. The insect dog's incredibly hard armor was like soft tofu under the large axe, breaking the skin with a touch and shattering the bones with a hit.

With the martial skill he learned for the large axe, the efficiency of hunting insect beasts greatly increased.

This martial skill was indeed good, but unfortunately, it only had three moves: "Split the Mountain," "Sweep a Thousand Armies," and "Falling Flowers." Although they were powerful, they lacked variation. However, after Wang Ge mastered these three moves, he was invincible.

The moves were simple, basically following the "great strength leads to miracles" approach.

But because it was a martial skill, when Wang Ge used these three moves, both his strength and speed were enhanced, giving him a "one force overcomes ten skills" feeling.

In half a day, Wang Ge had already collected four egg whites. He could have collected more, but finding insect beasts on the Four-Faced Mountain was difficult because there were too few of them.

If he wanted to find more insect beasts, he would have to go deeper into the mountains. Beyond the Four-Faced Mountain, there were thousands of miles of mountains, and the deeper he went, the more insect beasts there were, and there were also many insect people.

Wang Ge checked the time; it was just past noon. Now that he had a suitable weapon, the large axe, why not venture deeper into the mountains?
