Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 432 - 316. Ordinary and Extraordinary_2

The White Spirit Crow responded, "Currently, the exoskeleton production factory is scaling up its capacity, and personnel training also requires some time."

Ahmed pressed further, "The Kingdom can deposit the full payment into the designated account by tomorrow. Can the personnel and equipment arrive at Alaba Base within a month?"

The Luotuo People hadn’t even paid yet, but they’d already made plans—to form an exoskeleton corps mainly for the defense of the capital.

The White Spirit Crow flapped its wings, "It won’t take a month, twenty days should be enough."

Ahmed was overjoyed, "Your country’s efficiency is impressive."

The general then promptly asked, "According to the rules, since Mr. Spirit Crows facilitated the transaction, the Kingdom should pay a 1% intermediary fee as compensation, which amounts to 500 million Xia Yuan..."

The White Spirit Crow interrupted him, "Transfer the 500 million Xia Yuan to the Great Xia Central Bank."

Ahmed didn’t say much, merely responded, "No problem."

Major Lin wasn’t surprised by the Luotuo People’s proactive payment.

Because the 500 million Xia Yuan could be considered an ’expedited’ fee paid in advance by Great Xia; the Luotuo People were always on top of things in this regard.

This was also considered a sort of "reputation."

And adding additional compensation in Mr. Spirit Crows’ name could please this superpower.

However, Major Lin was puzzled about one thing: Mr. Spirit Crows seemed to pay special attention to the Luotuo Kingdom.

The Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeleton, a black technology equipment, was also very much needed by Great Xia at the moment.

According to military estimates, Great Xia currently has an army of 31 million, totaling 290 divisions.

Based on an average of 100 Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeletons per division and 1,000 Tianfu Craft One Exoskeletons, this means 29,000 Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeletons and 290,000 Tianfu Craft One Exoskeletons.

Yet Mr. Spirit Crows is willing to use his influence to expedite the delivery of 500 Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeletons to the Luotuo Kingdom.

Clearly, there’s more to this than meets the eye.

Great Xia.

Tolan City.

Through the eyes of the White Spirit Crow, Yang Fan saw Ahmed’s excited smile and couldn’t help but smile faintly.

He had sent the White Spirit Crow there to actively help the Luotuo People deal with the threat from the Carmenians and had gotten the Luotuo Kingdom 500 exoskeletons, not without reason.

At this moment.

The elderly man sitting opposite suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Mr. Zhang, you aren’t an ordinary person, are you?"

The elderly man paused, then explained his reasoning, "Ever since you came to my clinic, there have been more people around it, and that pretty young lady who has come to the clinic several times, she seems to be a soldier, right?"

Yang Fan smiled and replied, "Dr. Ma, whether I’m an ordinary person seems irrelevant to you. In your eyes, people are either patients or healthy, isn’t that right?"

Dr. Ma thought for a moment and nodded, "You’re right."

The elderly man lowered his head and seriously started processing the herbs in his hands again.

A few seconds later,

the processing was completed.

Dr. Ma placed the herbs in a wooden box and curiously asked, "I’m just an ordinary Xia Medical doctor in Tolan City; how did you come to know me?"

Yang Fan didn’t answer directly, only smiled, "Dr. Ma, you are no ordinary doctor."

The reason he knew Dr. Ma was, of course, because of the Dream Realm.

In the long dreamscape where he obtained the fourth Primordial Star Formation, the "Past" Star Formation, he learned of Dr. Ma’s famous name—Ma Youde.

Because Xia Medical often specializes in health maintenance, although Ma Youde was over ninety years old, he looked like he was in his sixties.

Just as Dr. Ma himself said, in this era when Xia Medicine is in decline, the elderly man was just an ordinary Xia doctor, and not many knew of Ma Youde’s name.

But what Dr. Ma did was far from ordinary.

This clinic had very low charges, with almost no profit over the years, yet it helped a great many low-income people.

Not only that, Dr. Ma took on many disciples and imparted all his knowledge to each of them.

This ninety-year-old has only two requirements for his disciples.

The first—help those in need.

The second—you may earn money, but you must not earn too much.

The name "Youde" is truly fitting.

In the second year of the cold wave disaster, Ma Youde serendipitously obtained a special colloid.

This was a "mutated substance."

That is, something formed from the special mutation of certain materials on Canglan Star after entering the Supernatural Era.

Out of a Xia Medical professional instinct, Ma Youde pondered for several days and managed to come up with a prescription using this mutated substance as the main ingredient.

Before this, no one thought this thing could be used as medicine.

Because this mutated substance was highly toxic, consuming 100 milligrams could kill an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, before this prescription could be promoted, Dr. Ma met with an accident.

One day after finishing his consultations, on his way home, he unfortunately encountered a newborn Yeti.

And in a nearby yard, by coincidence, several children were playing, and their sounds attracted the Yeti.

In the critical moment, Ma Youde shouted loudly to take away the Yeti, ultimately getting killed by it, but saved the children.

Later, a disciple of his sorted through his teacher’s belongings and took the teacher’s manuscripts as a memento.

But this disciple had long given up pursuing a career in Xia Medicine and had become an engineer soldier.

The reason was simple: the harsh climate made herbs increasingly scarce.

To ensure food supply, the indoor farms across the country only grew food crops and couldn’t grow Xia Medical herbs.

Until five years later.

This disciple was tidying up his room when he found his teacher’s manuscripts and read through them, finally discovering the prescription.

Driven by curiosity, he found a way to gather the materials, brewed a decoction according to the prescription, and bravely tried it himself.

The result shocked him.

Because the efficacy was amazingly good.

The disciple promptly reported this to his engineering corps, bringing the prescription back into the light.

In the ensuing years, Great Xia used the prescription to produce a large quantity of finished medicine, which was sold worldwide, saving countless lives and earning considerable profits.

Ma Youde’s name became known to all the Great Xia People.

This prescription was named the "Youde Formula" by the Great Xia people.

The decoction made from the prescription was named the "Youde Decoction."

That’s why Yang Fan said, "you’re not an ordinary doctor."

Can an ordinary doctor change the world with a prescription?

At this moment.

Ma Youde, hearing "you’re not an ordinary doctor," waved it off, "From birth to death, I’m just an ordinary person."

Yang Fan smiled and said no more.

Dr. Ma stood up, walked to a nearby cabinet, opened a drawer, and took out a red colloid.

This was exactly what Ma Youde obtained in the dream, sent over by Yang Fan more than a year in advance.

Dr. Ma sat down again, "Mr. Zhang, what you brought over last time, I initially thought it couldn’t be used as medicine, but after pondering for several days, I’ve come up with a little idea."

Yang Fan couldn’t help but laugh, "Cold poison is one toxin, pyrolytic colloid is another. Using fire toxin to counter cold toxin fits the theory of mutual generation and restraint."

Dr. Ma chuckled, "Makes sense."

But both knew this was nonsense.

This was actually a theory concocted by the whimsical netizens in the dream.

Ma Youde curiously asked, "May I ask where this mutated substance comes from?"

Yang Fan answered, "This was extracted from the oil in the desert oilfields under the Luotuo Kingdom, more or less a product of asphalt mutation."

Dr. Ma made a sound of acknowledgment, "In ancient Naxi, asphalt was considered a kind of medicine; even in modern times, some people use asphalt to treat skin diseases. Who would have thought its mutation could have such uses?"

Yang Fan smiled, "The world is vast and full of wonders."

In the dream, this asphalt mutation had only one source, the Oil Peninsula.

The Luotuo Kingdom, as the largest oil producer on the Oil Peninsula, controlled over ninety percent of the asphalt mutation output.

Since the spread of Youde Decoction, the market price for this material once soared to as high as 1,500 Xia Yuan per gram.

Yang Fan’s arrangements in the Luotuo Kingdom evidently had a single goal—to monopolize the asphalt mutation.
