20: Section 20

In the past, when medical institutions released new drugs,

which one didn't hedge their bets, claiming results might vary depending on the person, the illness, or the environment?

They would never make absolute claims.

This time, even Academician Zhao personally stated that this medicine is non-discriminatory—it doesn't matter the person or the disease—it can cure asthma attacks regardless of the cause!

Furthermore, whether the patient suffers from mild, moderate, or the most severe form of asthma, this medicine can provide a complete cure!

Such an unbelievable claim.

Even ordinary passersby trying to use the “knowledge” they gained from various short videos couldn't possibly argue against it.

Because neither domestically nor internationally has anyone ever proposed a feasible hypothesis for curing asthma!

...With dozens of top leaders from the Yanjing Government Building jointly urging action,

the efficiency of the Huaguo Pharmaceutical Administration was unprecedentedly high.

All procedures were completed on the same day with the highest priority.

Furthermore, since the production cost of lin's special medicine is low and the manufacturing process is simple, the full launch date was earlier than expected.

In order for all asthma patients to understand the situation,

the authorities personally stepped in to heavily promote it, issuing joint announcements from multiple parties to ensure everyone was aware of the new medicine.

For several consecutive days, the name “lin's special medicine” hung in the top three spots on Weibo... That night...

Zhao Xiaoying walked into the Huaguo Grand Pharmacy wearing a mask.

She herself had suffered from asthma for many years and had to wear a mask every time she went out.

Every time the season of cottonwood catkins arrived, it was nothing short of hellish torment for Zhao Xiaoying.

But generally, regular hospitals would tell her that the illness was incurable and could only be managed with medication.

As for small workshops or so-called family heirloom recipes claiming to offer a cure, taking those medicines only made things worse; not only did the asthma remain uncured, but avoiding being hospitalized was already considered a good outcome.

She happened to walk up to the shelf containing asthma medication, and the newly released lin's special medicine was placed in the most prominent spot.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoying couldn't help but frown: “Didn't they say this medicine was just a gimmick, just an IQ tax?”

“How could the dignified Huaguo Grand Pharmacy put this medicine on display?”

She casually picked up a box for a look.

She discovered that there was only one pill inside the medicine box!

“Isn't that profiteering too blatant?”

“When it doesn't work, will they say one box isn't enough and you need to buy several? It really is an IQ tax, hmph!”

However, when she saw another note on the medicine box—

“Due to the significant efficacy, this type of medicine should not be overused. Please purchase according to your own condition.”

Below that, the required dosage based on the severity of asthma was listed.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoying was stunned.

An IQ tax actually advises people not to buy too much?

Could it be... that it really works?

Her own asthma was only mild, and only the single allergen of cottonwood catkins was particularly irritating to her.

According to the instructions, it meant she could achieve a complete cure by taking this medicine just once or twice!

Zhao Xiaoying felt conflicted.

The season when cottonwood catkins fly everywhere was approaching, and she really didn't want to go through days requiring two layers of masks just to get by.

Moreover, this irritant was hard to guard against; sometimes a lot of it would cling to her clothes and be brought home, causing her to occasionally suffer attacks even indoors!

“Forget it, since it's officially a legitimate medicine originating from the Medical Science Academy, even if the efficacy isn't that strong, even thirty or forty percent effectiveness would be enough to give me some relief!”

Zhao Xiaoying looked at the price; it wasn't expensive at all, and she could even use her medical insurance.

Thinking this way, she felt even more that as long as the medicine didn't harm her body, it wasn't a loss.

If it had some effect, it would be a huge profit.

Since that's the case, she might as well try it!

...P.S.: Brothers, as everyone knows, data during a new book's free period is crucial, even determining whether a book can continue to be written!

The data for this book hasn't moved much, and I'm really panicking about it!!

Here, your humble author begs you to lift a finger; if you could give me a flower, a recommendation ticket, or even a reward, I would be eternally grateful!!.

Chapter 25: Public Opinion Reversal! Lin Bai: Who is this Lin family? They're amazing!

Chapter 25: Public Opinion Reversal! Lin Bai: Who is this Lin family? They're amazing!

“Cure asthma? That's impossible!”

“How can that lin's special medicine surpass the medical standards of more advanced nations?”

“I'm saying it right now: If lin's special medicine can cure asthma, I'll literally poop while standing on my head!”

“Ahem, as someone who has used lin's special medicine, I feel it's necessary to say: It really works!!!”

“Upstairs, send the group number? Let's make money together!”

“The Lin family is desperate; they've started buying paid shills.”

“Heh heh, fake is fake. We should actively suppress this kind of unscrupulous fake medicine!”

Watching the backend comments instantly grow by over eight hundred messages, mostly personal attacks against her, Zhao Xiaoying felt so wronged she almost wanted to smash the fruit 14 in her hand... Half an hour ago, she had bought lin's special medicine at the Huaguo Grand Pharmacy and taken it immediately.

Since her asthma wasn't currently acting up, she didn't feel any changes after taking the pill.

Just now, however, while walking down the street and passing a flower shop, the female owner inside accidentally bumped into her while carrying a bouquet of flowers.

And these were real flowers, containing a lot of pollen.

For Zhao Xiaoying, these were irritants that could easily trigger an asthma attack!

Immediately, she nervously pulled out her emergency inhaler from her bag, preparing to take a deep breath through her nose.

But in her haste, she suddenly stopped her hand movement.

She froze.

The asthma simply hadn't flared up!

“I'm so sorry, are you alright?” The flower shop owner panicked and quickly apologized.

However, Zhao Xiaoying had no time to respond to the owner; her growing excitement led her to make a bold move.

Facing the real flowers that were “lethal” to her, Zhao Xiaoying slowly took off her mask and cautiously took a deep breath.

Following that, an expression of disbelief erupted in her eyes—

“My asthma... is truly cured?!”

Afterward, Zhao Xiaoying walked into the flower shop for the first time without a mask and browsed around.

Aside from feeling a slight tickle in her nose and wanting to sneeze, it was nowhere near enough to trigger an asthma attack!

It was precisely because she had personally experienced the effect of this lin's special medicine.

She realized that this medicine was absolutely not the fake drug ridiculed online; on the contrary, this was a legitimate medicine with extremely powerful effects, developed by the state to care for asthma sufferers like them!

Thinking this, Zhao Xiaoying spontaneously became the staunchest supporter of lin's special medicine, starting to argue with the Experts on Weibo.

Naturally, the initial arguments were almost entirely one-sided.

However, as time passed, the voices supporting lin's special medicine online grew louder and louder!

“Don't talk nonsense if you haven't used it! I only took three pills of this lin's special medicine, and I'm completely cured!”

“I thought the same before using it, but after using it, all I can say is, the air is truly fresh!”

“If you don't believe me, check my homepage. I posted my previous certificate for severe asthma issued by the hospital. After taking this medicine, my latest hospital check-up showed I've gone from severe to moderate. After a few more courses of treatment, a complete cure is absolutely not wishful thinking!”

“Haven't checked Weibo in a few days, why are there even more paid shills now?”

“Upstairs, you think you're an expert, huh? It's fine to blindly criticize, but when clarification comes out, nobody believes it? It truly takes one mouth to spread a rumor, and a thousand legs to debunk it!”

What is real cannot be fake, and what is fake cannot be real!

After the passage of time, lin's special medicine was not only not slammed off the shelves, but it gained a group of loyal supporters.

After all, unlike those passersby who enjoy watching drama, these were genuine asthma patients!

If this medicine were to be criticized out of existence, they would truly have nowhere to turn.

Naturally, they had to protect the reputation of lin's special medicine!

Besides all this, the most curious thing was: who exactly was this Lin family? Which pharmaceutical group was it, or which professor named Lin?

“Who exactly is this Lin family?”

“They single-handedly raised the level of asthma treatment in Huaguo's medical community to the world's cutting edge!”

“Even those so-called old professors abroad have been thoroughly humiliated.”

As a passerby enjoying the spectacle, Lin Bai rubbed his chin and voiced the same question.

“I didn't expect such sensational news to pop up outside while I was resting for a few days with a cold.”

“Anyway, I don't have asthma, so it's not my concern. I should hurry up and take a few more orders; this month's rent is a big problem.”
