Chapter 219 Cancer-Fighting Drugs
Since Zhong Lisheng's younger sister woke up and learned that she had lost both legs, she attempted suicide several times but was discovered by medical staff and family members and rescued each time.
But Zhong Lisheng knew that this couldn't go on forever. His sister had more pride than anyone else. Letting her live like a cripple, being controlled by others in her every need, was worse than killing her!
By chance, Zhong Lisheng learned about mechanical exoskeletons, which could bring severed limbs back to life and even make them indistinguishable from normal people. However, this was ultimately just a figment of human imagination in the course of scientific research, and Zhong Lisheng was not sure if it could really be realized, so he chose to keep it a secret from his sister for the time being.
However, when his sister had another mental breakdown, in order to appease her emotionally distraught state, Zhong Lisheng had no choice but to lie and say that he knew experts in the field who could restore her legs to their original state.
So, in order to cover up the lie and to truly help his sister stand up, Zhong Lisheng kept learning about mechanics and looking for investors to develop a mechanical exoskeleton. However, he was ultimately a pharmacy major, and no one believed that he could really cross over and develop a mechanical exoskeleton, even with his fame.
Seeing his sister's spirits waning day by day, Zhong Lisheng was deeply worried. In order to attract investors, Zhong Lisheng could only try to use his pharmacology talent to attract attention, so that he could also get in touch with more wealthy people!
“You studied pharmacy. If it were pharmaceutical research, I would invest based on your performance just now. But different fields are like different worlds, and I can’t trust you to do mechanical research, so I won’t invest.”
Upon hearing the man's words, the ten buildings in Haishi, which had been silent until now, responded by sending out ten more hot air balloons.
He wasn't a philanthropist. He could tell the difference between receiving tens of thousands of yuan worth of gifts in a live stream and making endless investments. Investments without returns would only cause him to lose everything, so he refused the offer of ten buildings in Shanghai without even thinking about it.
"…Thank you, I understand." The man's face turned deathly pale upon hearing the reply from the ten buildings in Haishi. He knew that if he were in the other person's shoes, he couldn't believe that a layman could develop a cure for cancer…
Zhong Lisheng stopped paying attention to the ten buildings in Haishi and continued answering questions in the live stream with a dazed expression, trying to attract more viewers to attract investment.
a long time…
Just when Zhong Lisheng had been rejected countless times and had given up all hope of attracting investment through live streaming, Jiang Chengcheng switched back to the live streaming room using a different account.
Speaking of mechanical exoskeletons, Jiang Chengcheng suddenly thought of the drone armor she had developed before, which might be able to help Zhong Lisheng. After all, the two things are similar in some ways. However, in order to confirm again, Jiang Chengcheng still reconstructed the drone armor's design in her mind. As expected, Jiang Chengcheng's guess was correct!
"Can we connect?" Jiang Chengcheng was too lazy to type anymore after returning to the live stream, so she sent ten Sky City gifts and asked in the pinned post.
“…Okay!” When Zhong Lisheng saw Jiang Chengcheng’s comment about sending a gift in the live stream, he was momentarily dazed. He then realized that she was interested in developing mechanical exoskeletons, so he hurriedly replied.
Upon hearing Zhong Lisheng's reply, Jiang Chengcheng immediately initiated a connection request, and the other party approved the request almost instantly, as if afraid that she might change her mind.
"Hello, I'm 'Working Overtime Today Too.' You said you want to develop a mechanical exoskeleton. Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to like mechanical research. I'll make a bold guess: you just need a mechanical exoskeleton, right?" Jiang Chengcheng skipped the formalities and went straight to the point.
"You... how did you know? Yes... I need a mechanical exoskeleton..." Zhong Lisheng was startled when he heard Jiang Chengcheng's words, but then he thought that he might have been too obvious, so he replied.
"Let's get straight to the point. I'm a researcher in real life, and I can make mechanical exoskeletons. I can guarantee that I can deliver them to you within a month. However, I'm not a charity, so I'd like to make a deal with you." Jiang Chengcheng said calmly after hearing Zhong Lisheng's reply.
"What? You! Are you sure?" Upon hearing this, Zhong Lisheng jumped up from his chair and asked Jiang Chengcheng excitedly.
This...how is this possible?
He had specifically researched it! From a mechanical perspective, mechanical exoskeletons are like a cure for cancer!
"I'm sure. If you don't believe me, I'll leave you my real-life contact information, and you can come find me then," Jiang Chengcheng replied earnestly.
"Then! What do you want? Money? I only have 700,000 yuan on me. I wonder if it's possible to pay in installments? I promise I won't delay in paying you! No matter how much it is, I will raise it as soon as possible!"
Zhong Lisheng's eyes were red. Even though he didn't know if what Jiang Chengcheng said was true, he was still willing to believe her. It seemed that he regarded Jiang Chengcheng as his last straw.
"Host! Wake up! How could anyone in this world possibly make a mechanical exoskeleton!"
"Yes! You mustn't try any treatment you don't know!"
"I'm speechless! I thought this guy was some kind of tycoon spending so much money, but it turns out he was just trying to set up a honey trap scam!!"
"I'm telling you! The streamer is already in such a pitiful state. Judging from his appearance, something must have happened at home. Can you please stop being so heartless!"
"Heh! It's true what they say, bad luck always finds its way to those who are unfortunate!"
"I'm speechless! Has anyone called the police? Is this some kind of public fraud?"
"Heh! I bet the next thing they'll ask for money!"
"Don't be silly, streamer! Don't transfer any money to her!"
Perhaps Jiang Chengcheng's words sounded too much like a scam, because even the viewers in the live stream couldn't stand it anymore and quickly spoke up to remind her.
“...I don’t want your money, I only want to make a deal with you. I know you are a pharmacy major. I will give you a mechanical exoskeleton, and you will work for me and develop a cancer drug for me.”
Jiang Chengcheng was speechless when she saw the comments section and Zhong Lisheng's words. It turned out that they thought she was a liar.
However, Jiang Chengcheng is indeed suspected of fraud...
Because of her past life's illness, Jiang Chengcheng has never felt at ease. Even though she has been given a second chance at life thanks to the system, she was only 24 years old when she got cancer. No one can guarantee that she won't get cancer in this life. So, even if it's just to prevent it from happening, Jiang Chengcheng must find someone to develop a specific drug for cancer!
In her view, the person closest to a cure for cancer in her past life was Zhong Lisheng. If she could use a mechanical exoskeleton to get him on her side, Jiang Chengcheng's life would be more secure. Besides, even if she didn't get sick at twenty-four, a cure for cancer would still be a huge market, and Jiang Chengcheng would definitely make a profit.
