After concluding his communication with Alexander, Liu Hui initiated contact with Zerg of the Zerg race. "Esteemed Lord Liu Hui, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I have excellent news to share with you today," Zerg exclaimed with palpable excitement upon seeing Liu Hui.

"Esteemed Lord Zerg, what wonderful news might you have for me?" Liu Hui inquired, tinged with slight confusion. "Heh heh, didn't you ask me previously how to handle the issue of employees resigning after receiving the evolution fluid injection? After a period of rigorous analysis and research, we have finally devised a solution," Zerg announced, clearly delighted.

"Oh? And how have you managed to resolve it?" Liu Hui's spirits soared. "We have invented a novel sustained-release fluid.

We inject this fluid simultaneously with the evolution fluid into the human body. The evolution fluid will activate slowly, gradually strengthening the body. Concurrently, the sustained-release fluid begins its own slow depletion.

If new sustained-release fluid is not replenished within a certain timeframe, the previously injected evolution fluid will gradually convert into the sustained-release form. Consequently, all the enhancements the body acquired will slowly dissipate, returning the individual to their normal state," Zerg stated proudly. Liu Hui was overjoyed.

With such a mechanism in place, he no longer feared employees leaving his hospital, nor did he worry about them taking the secret of the evolution fluid out with them. "And within what timeframe must the sustained-release fluid be reinjected?" "That is entirely up to your discretion. The cost of this sustained-release fluid is negligible, less than one-hundredth the cost of the evolution fluid.

You need not concern yourself with large-scale usage," Zerg replied with a smile. "Excellent. I require ten units of Body Evolution Fluid immediately.

However, you must dilute these ten units to one percent of their original concentration. Additionally, I need one thousand units of the sustained-release fluid with a three-month duration," Liu Hui placed the order without hesitation. "We will fulfill your requirements swiftly," Zerg chuckled.

"Oh, right. That biological healing tank you provided last time—its usage cycles are depleted, and it can no longer facilitate healing. Do you reclaim such tanks?" Liu Hui suddenly recalled the miraculous bio-healing tank.

"Esteemed Lord Liu Hui, the most crucial component of the biological healing tank is the ** within it; the tank itself holds little value." "Then, if you were to replenish the ** inside, how many units of Marvelous Powder would that require?" Liu Hui asked. "If it is merely to replenish the **, only twenty units of Marvelous Powder are necessary." "I see. Very well, please replenish the ** within the tank for me then!" Liu Hui placed the biological healing tank onto the trading screen.

The tank had rescued him from the brink of death, cementing its formidable capabilities in his mind. Compared to his life, twenty kilograms of narcotics was clearly a small price to pay. Thus, he immediately requested a refill of the ** in the tank; essential life-saving measures had to be secured.

"One last thing, Lord Zerg, could you please examine this item for me?" Liu Hui produced the Demonic Beast Crystal Core that Alexander had traded him previously and sent it over to Zerg. Zerg held the Demonic Beast Crystal Core close, scrutinizing it carefully, before shaking his head. "This object cannot be identified by mere visual inspection.

I will need to take it to the laboratory for research. I will inform you once I have findings." "Very well, I shall trouble you then, Lord Zerg." After exchanging farewells, Liu Hui closed the communicator. Since the Han Tang Hospital had recently been infiltrated, exposing vulnerabilities in its security, Liu Hui dismissed some underqualified security personnel.

He and Wu Yuanjia personally recruited a new batch of capable guards from the open market. He planned to utilize the diluted Body Evolution Fluid to enhance the capabilities of the security team; with the sustained-release fluid in place, he had no need to worry about guards resigning. However, devising a proper management strategy for these guards would require careful planning.

On the way back to Han Tang Hospital, Liu Hui received a call from Liang Jingyue. "Ahui, are you free tonight?" "Tonight? If it isn't too late, yes, I am available.

What's up?" Liu Hui considered for a moment before replying. "It’s like this: we are having a high school reunion tonight, and they invited me to attend. If you're free, shall we go together?" "Oh, a high school reunion.

Alright, I'll go with you." Liu Hui felt he had devoted all his energy to the hospital lately and hadn't paid her enough attention, so he decided to accompany her to the gathering. After finishing work in the afternoon, Liu Hui and Liang Jingyue drove off together toward the hotel hosting the reunion. During the drive, Liu Hui and Liang Jingyue conversed.

"Jingyue, why do you bother attending these reunions? As far as I know, these so-called gatherings are merely arenas for classmates to engage in mutual comparison, filled with nothing but pretense." "I know, which is why I rarely attend them. But my best girlfriend from school is going to be there today, and she invited me, so how could I refuse?" Liang Jingyue smiled, then suddenly pecked Liu Hui on the cheek, adding, "They enjoy showing off, don't they?

Actually, I’m going there to show off today too?" "Show off what? You’re not the shallow type, are you?" Liu Hui asked, surprised. "Hehe, I’m going to flaunt my happiness.

Ahui, ever since I met you, I feel like the luckiest person in the world, so I absolutely must let everyone know how happy I am. Besides, you’re so handsome; I gain a lot of prestige just walking beside you," Liang Jingyue declared proudly. "Oh, so that’s the game plan.

Fine, I'll play along. What kind of demeanor do you want me to project? Melancholy?

Decadent? Or perhaps arrogant, or should I pretend to be a nouveau riche?" Liu Hui teased her. "You, just be yourself," Liang Jingyue laughed.

"Jingyue, tell me honestly, am I truly handsome? Because I certainly don't feel it myself." "Well, I think you’re handsome. As the saying goes, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' or in this case, the lover." "Oh, so I’m still not handsome.

Truly heartbreaking!" The two chatted and joked their way through the journey, soon arriving at the Jinwei Grand Hotel in downtown Bashan—the most luxurious five-star establishment in the city. They parked the car and proceeded directly to the revolving restaurant on the forty-eighth floor. A notice stood at the entrance: Bashan No.

1 Middle School Class of 2002, Grade 5 Reunion. "Jingyue, who is hosting this reunion? Why choose such an upscale venue?

And they’ve booked the entire place?" Liu Hui asked, puzzled. "I didn't ask in detail. High school reunions usually aren't held in such lavish places, are they?" Liang Jingyue also found it strange.

"Aiyo! Look who's here—our great beauty Liang! And who is this handsome gentleman beside you?" A man and a woman emerged from the restaurant.

"It’s Class Monitor Wu Changqing and the beautiful cultural committee member Wang Hui," Liang Jingyue quickly recognized them. She immediately introduced them: "This is my boyfriend, Liu Hui." "Heh heh, welcome!" Wu Changqing shook Liu Hui's hand warmly. Wang Hui beside him nodded in acknowledgment.

"Heh heh, I’m just tagging along for the excitement. You two carry on; we’ll find our own seats," Liu Hui said politely. "That sounds great.

Jingyue, take good care of your boyfriend. We still have to continue greeting guests!" Wang Hui smiled. Liang Jingyue and Liu Hui entered the restaurant.

Many classmates were already gathered inside; it seemed the turnout was quite complete. They found a table and sat down. "Jingyue, you look even more beautiful!

I knew you would come," a seductive voice called out. A tall, attractive woman approached and looped her arm through Liang Jingyue's. "Heh heh, Dandan, long time no see!

How have you been?" Liang Jingyue was genuinely delighted to see the tall woman. "Me? Still the same old story.

Oh, and who is this handsome guy beside you? Introduce us, won't you?" Dandan sized Liu Hui up. "This is Liu Hui, my boyfriend!

Ahui, this is my good friend Dandan. We were the best of sisters back then, but we haven't seen each other in years. I’m only attending this reunion because she’s here," Liang Jingyue introduced them to each other.

"Oh, your boyfriend looks rather handsome. I wonder what high-ranking position he holds?" Dandan inquired. "Ahui's company isn't very well-known," Liang Jingyue replied.

This was the cover story she and Liu Hui had agreed upon during the drive, considering Liu Hui’s recent status was somewhat sensitive. "No way! Working for some no-name company, that's pretty useless, isn't it?

It seems some handsome men really rely on their women for a living," Dandan glanced dismissively at Liu Hui. "Dandan, what nonsense are you spouting? Ahui is not a gigolo; he's very capable!" Liang Jingyue immediately retorted when her best friend spoke that way.

"Jingyue, I'm not mistaken! You lack life experience, so be careful not to be deceived. Some men are handsome but are inherently good-for-nothings who live off women.

Your boyfriend might just be after your family's assets—you need to wake up!" Dandan pulled on Liang Jingyue’s hand, attempting to persuade her. Liang Jingyue pulled her hand away coldly. "I forbid you from speaking ill of Ahui.

If you continue, our friendship ends here." Dandan felt awkward; she hadn't expected Liang Jingyue to be so uncompromising. She quickly found an excuse and retreated to another area. "Ahui, please don't be angry.

I had no idea Dandan would say such things. We haven't seen each other for a few years, so how could she change like this? She used to be my closest friend!" Liang Jingyue worried that Liu Hui might be upset.

"Jingyue, I told you before, these reunions hold no genuine affection; they are purely for comparison and showing off. Why would I be angry?" Liu Hui smiled and playfully tapped Liang Jingyue's nose. Just then, a commotion erupted near the entrance.

Liu Hui and Liang Jingyue looked over curiously, only to see several classmates escorting someone inside. "What? It’s him!

Why is he here? He wasn't even a classmate of ours!" Liang Jingyue gasped in surprise. The person entering was Lin Dao, who had been absent from the scene for some time.

Lin Dao spotted Liu Hui and Liang Jingyue, approached them, and smiled. "What a coincidence. I was handling some business in this hotel and saw you all gathered here, so I thought I'd join.

I'm part of this reunion now, any objections?" "How could we object? It’s rare for us to even get a meeting with CEO Lin! Having you join our class reunion is our honor; we should extend a warm welcome, don't you agree?" Dandan exclaimed loudly from the side.

"That's right! CEO Lin’s Huangyu High-Tech company ranks among the top few in all of Huaxia. If we have the chance to listen to CEO Lin’s guidance, we could save ourselves years of struggle!" Wu Changqing chimed in, followed by a chorus of loud agreement from the surrounding group, effectively compelling Lin Dao to stay.

Lin Dao glanced at Liu Hui, then took a seat near them. Liu Hui and Liang Jingyue exchanged glances, both feeling a subtle sense of unease, as if they had walked into a trap somewhere. At that moment, a dog ran in from outside the restaurant, somehow collapsing at Lin Dao's feet and spitting a mouthful of blood onto his shoe.

Lin Dao’s face immediately turned ashen. Restaurant staff rushed to carry the dog out, meticulously wiping Lin Dao’s shoe clean while offering continuous apologies. Liu Hui chuckled, turning to Liang Jingyue, "Finally, I get to see dog’s blood today."
