Director Wang walked onto the high platform and surveyed the crowd.
He then picked up the microphone and said, "Today is the second pharmaceutical competition. I hope everyone will go all out and achieve good results in today's competition."
Upon hearing this, all the pharmacists were eager to showcase their skills.
A few minutes later, all the pharmacists walked onto the high platform and stood by their tables. Su Dan Novel Network.
Soon, a group of attendants walked out from backstage and placed various medicinal herbs on the tables in front of the pharmacists.
There were many herbs, at least over a thousand varieties.
In addition to the herbs, each pharmacist also had a small stove for decocting medicinal soup and various tools.
All the pharmaceutical tools were present!
Jiang Yi scanned the items in front of him and smiled slightly.
It seemed the Provincial Chamber of Commerce attached great importance to the competition. The medicinal herbs alone must have taken a long time to prepare, costing at least several million.
However, on second thought, it was not surprising.
The Provincial Chamber of Commerce oversaw the entire business community of Jiang Province and was not lacking in funds.
Furthermore, the cost would ultimately be borne by the consumers. Even tens or hundreds of millions would be nothing to the Provincial Chamber of Commerce.
"Today's topic is to develop a medicine to treat 'Li Ge Da'!"
Director Wang said, "Li Ge Da is a type of bump on the skin. Many patients, with age, high work pressure, and frequent late nights, find these bumps increasing.
"As of now, there is no medicine that can cure Li Ge Da. While it doesn't affect health, it makes the skin very rough..."
Director Wang began to explain.
The topic of this competition was completely unexpected by all the pharmacists.
Li Ge Da was not a disease. Many renowned physicians had studied it, but none had managed to develop a medicine to eliminate these bumps.
Anyone who could develop a cure for Li Ge Da would undoubtedly become rich!
Over fifty percent of adult males developed Li Ge Da.
Many patients with Li Ge Da sought medical advice, but doctors would only prescribe medications for dermatitis.
Or they would simply state that it was not a disease and did not require treatment, advising good hygiene and adequate rest, suggesting the bumps would disappear.
In summary, medicine for Li Ge Da had a huge market.
"The competition time is three hours!"
Director Wang announced, "After three hours, all the medicines developed by the pharmacists will be handed over to drug inspectors for efficacy testing. These drug inspectors are very professional and will ensure fairness and impartiality!"
Hearing this, everyone's gaze shifted to the timer on the high platform.
"The competition begins!" Director Wang shouted.
As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, all the pharmacists got busy.
Developing a new medicine in three hours.
This was a great challenge for all the pharmacists.
Some pharmacists didn't even know what Li Ge Da was and had to use their phones to look it up online.
Jiang Yi glanced around at the other pharmacists and then began his work.
"Kid, you're bound to lose this time!"
Li Yong looked at Jiang Yi with disdain!
Jiang Yi ignored Li Yong!
Li Yong indeed possessed some skill, but in Jiang Yi's opinion, that was all.
Time continued to pass!
Soon, an hour went by.
Some pharmacists had still not found a way to treat Li Ge Da.
Others were attempting to concoct medicines, but they were unsure if their creations could cure Li Ge Da.
Only Jiang Yi and Li Yong appeared remarkably calm.
Another hour passed.
Several pharmacists gave up the competition as they were unable to develop the medicine.
Rather than face humiliation, they decided to leave early.
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath and bottled the medicine he had developed!
Jiang Yi was the first to complete the competition, and all eyes turned towards him.
"This kid Jiang Yi is simply an idiot."
"Even if he's the first to develop the medicine, it won't give him extra points. A thorough check might even improve its efficacy."
"Jiang Yi is just trying to show off!"
"Don't underestimate Jiang Yi, everyone. Remember, he took first place in yesterday's competition!"
...
The crowd began to murmur.
Only a minority favored Jiang Yi; most believed he would undoubtedly lose this time.
On the stage.
Director Wang's brow was deeply furrowed.
Although he felt Jiang Yi wouldn't be able to beat Li Yong, he still hoped Jiang Yi would win.
Seeing Jiang Yi finish the competition so quickly, Director Wang wore a look of disappointment and helplessness.
Three hours quickly passed.
Attendants came forward, collected the medicines developed by all the pharmacists, affixed labels with the pharmacists' names to the bottles, and handed them to the drug inspectors seated in chairs.
The drug inspectors applied the medicine to patients' skin, then began measuring the efficacy of the drugs, observing and scoring.
Everyone's face was filled with anticipation.
They all wanted to know who would ultimately achieve good results in this competition.
Even Li Yong showed a hint of nervousness.
Jiang Yi, however, remained calm.
Jiang Yi knew that he was definitely going to win this time.
"This medicine! It's incredible!"
A drug inspector suddenly stood up from his chair, bending over to examine the patient's arm.
In just over ten minutes, the Li Ge Da on the patient's arm underwent a miraculous transformation.
Black grime seeped out from the bumps, and after the pores opened up, fine hairs were revealed.
The skin became as fair and smooth as jade, resembling an infant's skin – delicate and lustrous, it could practically be used as a skincare product.
Many drug inspectors immediately crowded around, their faces filled with astonishment!
To allow everyone to witness the medicine's miraculous effect, the photographer focused the camera on the patient's arm.
The patient's arm was immediately displayed on the large screen on the high platform.
The crowd below gasped in amazement after seeing it!
"This medicine is too amazing! It took only ten minutes for it to take effect!"
"When this medicine is released, I must buy a lot. Even though I don't have Li Ge Da, I can use it as a skincare product. Its efficacy is even better than those high-end skincare products!"
...
Everyone was excited.
Soon, the crowd's curious expressions turned expectant, eager to know who had developed such a medicine.
Everyone was well aware that the person who developed this medicine was sure to take first place!
"I don't think we need to guess. The person who developed this medicine must be Master Li Yong!"
"That's right, it must be Master Li Yong!"
"Among all the pharmacists, who else could have this ability besides Master Li Yong!"
...
