Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 575 - 375 Anti-Aging Drugs_1

Feng Yi had Ding take Feng Chi for a trip.

They still borrowed the steward’s plane, with Feng Yi covering the cost. It was also an opportunity to transport a batch of supplies and materials to the island, so they took Feng Chi along for the ride.

Feng Chi was so touched to know that even the plane was arranged that he went home the same day and begged his mother, wheedling and coaxing until he prised a box of face masks from her treasured hoard as a thank-you gift, for which he got his ear pinched by his mother.

Feng Yi, receiving the face masks and feeling a mix of emotions: "..."

Then he turned around and handed them to the steward.

There was no helping it; such gifts were wasted on Feng Yi.

And using them just made Feng Yi feel odd.

Ding carried the supplies to the island, with Feng Chi also tagging along. On their departure day, Feng Yi received a call from Yue Gengyang.

It started with the poaching gang related issues.

Geng spoke with a subtle tone, "Another criminal hideout has been raided."

Feng Yi: "I know, you’ve mentioned it."

Geng: "No, I’m talking about a different one now. You know, I had people raid one of their hideouts abroad, but one of the leaders escaped to another hideout. A sly rabbit has three burrows; these people have many places to hide. That leader fled to another spot in a neighboring country. That’s the one I’m talking about."

Feng Yi was surprised, "That hideout was raided too? The mercenaries you hired are pretty efficient, pretty quick!"

Geng said, "This wasn’t my doing! I’m telling you this because I want you to know... it might have been someone who couldn’t stand by and intervened."

A moment of silence.

Well, everything was left unsaid.

No need to say who specifically; upon hearing Geng’s words, Feng Yi immediately had a figure flash through his mind.

After a while, Geng added another topic: "Let’s put that aside for now. I called today because there’s another matter."

Yue Gengyang’s tone surged with excitement, "The items you had Wu bring from the island last time, the laboratory has made a new breakthrough!"

After buying the island, Feng Yi returned to Yang City after molting. Wu took Feng Yi’s stored venom and delivered it to the Ancestral Factory.

And now, there had been some new discoveries at the core laboratory of the Ancestral Factory.

Yue Gengyang said, "A few anti-aging drugs still in the experimental phase are going to be upgraded again soon because of these new findings!"

Feng Yi had heard Yue Gengyang mention the anti-aging drugs before.

The anti-aging and detoxification drugs from the core laboratory of the Ancestral Factory are top-tier globally.

Feng Yi didn’t remember the exact number of the anti-aging drugs in the core laboratory, but what struck him the most was Wu’s mention that the cheapest of these drugs cost 700,000, and the most expensive were over 1.5 million, just for a single dose.

Anti-aging drugs are mostly consumed by an older demographic with significant wealth. Ordinary people can’t afford them.

Yue Gengyang said, "Your... after that ’event’, the samples obtained contain some rare active substances. They are extremely unstable and tend to deactivate easily in normal environments. Only extreme measures in an experimental setting can maintain their structural stability. They’re not plentiful in number, and they only appear after that event of yours."

Yue Gengyang couldn’t outright say "molting," so he used a string of "that event" instead, which Feng Yi found rather strange. However, that wasn’t important.

What Feng Yi gathered from his words was that the venom had contained certain special and highly unstable active substances which were only present during the period after molting!

The core laboratory could use these active substances to upgrade the formulation of the anti-aging drugs.

Geng found it tricky, "The problem is, there’s too little of the sample, which limits the experimental progress. Actually, the core laboratory has several other research plans, but we just can’t support them with the experimental materials."

Feng Yi helplessly replied, "No way around it, there certainly won’t be more in the short term."

The next molting was still a ways off.

Geng was evidently disappointed, "Is that so, then we can only wait for the next time. Next time, we must collect more, the new anti-aging drug could also be worth several million per dose!"

Feng Yi: "Alright, alright, alright!"

As for how much venom could be taken by that time, it would obviously be based on Wu’s advice. Feng Yi was keen to provide more "raw material," but his personal health was more important. What if it affected his development?

Development is the most important!

After ending the call with Geng, Feng Yi walked out to the terrace, looking over the courtyard in front.

The steward was genteelly watering the small flowers in the flowerbed with a watering can.

An image of tranquil years.

On another front.

Feng Chi followed Ding, and upon boarding the plane, he was stunned.

Staring at the decorations in the cabin.

This... this... this...

The interior cabin decoration is actually of Feng Yi!

Such a huge portrait, and it’s retouched too!

Definitely the work of a crazy fan!

And not just any crazy fan!

Feng Chi sucked on a lemon, feeling very sour.

He didn’t feel embarrassed at all, in fact, he openly expressed strong envy and jealousy right on the spot! And he fantasized that one day he too could get such treatment!

It didn’t matter if he didn’t have crazy fans, once he made money and bought his private plane, he would put a retouched photo of himself in the cabin too!

Feng Chi added this to his to-do list.

After flying to the island and conducting a thorough inspection, the very excited Feng Chi, following his return flight, came to discuss the island rental details with Feng Yi.

"I’m going with this one, I’m super satisfied! But brother, I think many of the buildings on the island are still good, do you really need to knock them down and rebuild?" Feng Chi asked.

"Hmm, my preferences and habits are different from the previous Island Master," Feng Yi said.

"That’s going to cost quite a bit of money, and you’ll have to use a plane or a big ship to transport the construction waste."

Island isolated from the world and land on the mainland are different; additional expenses are necessary.

But seeing the way Feng Yi was, Feng Chi knew his brother was really willing to spend that money on renovations!

Alright then, "I’m happy" is priceless.

The day before, when Feng Chi mentioned the island rental to another investor of the show, that person had asked about Feng Yi’s source of funds.

Feng Chi didn’t know and didn’t want to ask Feng Yi; he worried that knowing too much, he might accidentally spill the beans during a social event after a few drinks, causing unnecessary trouble for Feng Yi.

Forget it, better not to know.

As long as he knew Feng Yi had money, that was enough!

Especially knowing that Feng Yi, who was currently renting someone else’s plane, had also placed an order for his private aircraft—such envy!

"Back then, when we all talked about our dreams, we agreed to take it step by step, but you, you’re taking off way too fast!"

Feng Chi was very happy after discussing the island rental.

Feng Yi felt it was not bad either. He was giving a lot of freedom, but there were also points he emphasized, like the environment, the waste pollution, and such.

"I’ll personally oversee it!" Feng Chi assured. He couldn’t let his family lose out; with so much rent and liberty given, if anyone from the show team violated the contract and messed up the place, there’s no need for Feng Yi to step in, he would throw the first punch!

Afterward, the show crew going to the island wouldn’t need Feng Yi’s aircraft anymore; the team would charter their own flights, and Feng Chi would be with them the whole time.

"We’re still in the preparation phase now, but I need to follow along more once the actual filming starts," said Feng Chi.

"Staying in Yang City for a few days?" Feng Yi asked.

"Leaving on the flight tomorrow night. If things go well, I should be able to come back after two or three days once we wrap up; there’s a banquet I need to attend."

"We can grab a meal together tomorrow if you’re free."

"Next time, I have plans tomorrow." As he said this, excitement showed on Feng Chi’s face, "My ’Tyrannosaurus’ has arrived!"

Feng Yi was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this, but after a while, he remembered.

"Is that the custom transformer car you arranged through Uncle?"

"Yeah, that one! It just got delivered tonight, but it’s even earlier than I expected."

At the ancestral family ceremony, Feng Chi had buttered up his uncle for a custom channel, where he then worked with someone to custom-make a Tyrannosaurus transformer car.

He had already seen the actual photos, and the Tyrannosaurus indeed looked much more badass than the Cobra model!

"I plan to take it to the supercar club track for a trial run tomorrow! Bro, are you coming?"

"No, have fun. Just don’t drive it on the road," Feng Yi reminded him.

Even though transformer cars could be driven like ordinary cars, their current status was still as adult toy vehicles, which are not allowed on motor vehicle lanes.

"Got it, the manufacturer mentioned that. Brother, how about we meet up tomorrow morning to test drive it first?"

"I have an online meeting in the morning, really can’t make time," Feng Yi explained.

It wasn’t an excuse. The United Protection Bureau’s Yang City branch had informed him that there was a small online meeting in the morning that they needed Feng Yi to attend.

"Alright, then I’ll take the car directly to the supercar club for a trial."

Feng Chi rubbed his hands together, planning how to show off his "Tyrannosaurus" at the club.
