19: Gene defect drugs are now available, allowing for the screening of trial participants.

Because there were many car models to test, the testing continued until after five in the afternoon.

Of course, the feedback was positive; even for the model with the largest displacement, the fuel consumption per hundred kilometers was only 2.1 liters. In Wang Jian's words, he had never seen such a badass carburetor.

Good products naturally gain favor. Wang Jian placed an order for ten thousand units on the spot, at a unit price of three hundred yuan. This price was a market median. Great Wall Automobile Factory was the first order Qin Yang secured. When other car companies come knocking, it won't be too late to raise the price.

Wang Jian's order of ten thousand was also to test the market waters. After all, no matter how good something is, without market validation, everything is just empty talk.

In the evening, Qin Yang hosted a banquet for Wang Jian at Hongbin Tower. With Song Wu and other Death Warriors specializing in culinary arts present, the dinner was naturally enjoyed by both host and guest.

Market feedback for the super carburetor would take some time; this required patient waiting.

A few more days passed, and good news came from Ma Jun's side as well. The pharmaceutical lab had been established. Ma Jun worked day and night and finally completed the first Gene Defect Medicine!

Qin Yang placed far more importance on the Gene Defect Medicine than the super carburetor, because the impact produced by the two things was simply incomparable. One was just about saving some money, while the other was a life-saving matter.

In the pharmaceutical factory lab, Qin Yang held a tube of light blue medicine, looking at it repeatedly. Of course, he couldn't see anything specific, but he simply liked it because this tube of medicine before him could bring immense fame and fortune; even building a business empire would be a piece of cake.

"What's the next stage?" Qin Yang looked at it for a long while before reluctantly returning the medicine to Ma Jun.

"Clinical trials are needed, which must be reported to the Drug Administration. A total of three phases of trials are required to obtain sufficient experimental data before applying for registration. Once the registration assessment is successful and approval is granted, it can be manufactured and launched," Ma Jun replied.

Qin Yang nodded. "Then report it under the name of the Third Pharmaceutical Factory. The name of the medicine needs to be changed; let's call it the God Medicine. By the way, the core formula of the medicine won't be leaked, right?"

"No, Boss. This Gene Defect Medicine requires dozens of drug factors to be made according to specific quantitative ratios. Without the ratio formula, dozens of drugs can have countless combinations. This is simply impossible for humans to crack," Ma Jun explained.

"That's good. Tell the others to make sure the safety of the formula is well protected."

"Understood, Boss."

Since the Third Pharmaceutical Factory was an established pharmaceutical factory, the Drug Administration approved it quickly, and clinical trials could proceed.

Over here, Qin Yang immediately began contacting trial participants.

Trial participants can be divided into two types: one is professional trial participants, who trade their health for money, and the other is patient trial participants, people who have reached a dead end due to illness. Out of confidence in the medicine, Ma Jun, and the system, Qin Yang planned to find a group of patient trial participants. Although the Gene Defect Medicine is harmless to the human body, its price is extremely high. In fact, before Qin Yang obtained the formula, the USA had already developed gene therapy, which had the same effect as the Gene Defect Medicine. However, the gene medicine developed by the USA could only treat one type of genetic disease, while the one in Qin Yang's hands could cure most genetic diseases. The value of the two was incomparable.

But even so, the gene medicine developed by the USA cost over three million USD per injection, equivalent to over twenty million RMB. A course of treatment required four injections to effectively treat that genetic disease. What did four injections mean? It was a price that most people in China could only look at with despair.

Qin Yang's choice of patient trial participants was partly out of confidence in the medicine and partly to accumulate merit for himself. Honestly, whoever was chosen would be a lucky person, with a ninety percent cure rate and not having to spend a single cent. If that's not a lucky person, what is!

Finding patients with genetic diseases was actually very easy because there were many Streamers on the Chinese TikTok platform fighting against illnesses. How should I put it? Many of these Streamers were in the late stages of their illnesses, and their families were unable to support the cost of their medication. Starting a live stream was, on one hand, perhaps to distract themselves and reduce the pain brought by the disease, and on the other hand, they could earn some medicine money if they met kind people.

Returning to Hongbin Tower and sitting in the boss's chair in his office, Qin Yang opened Chinese TikTok.

He typed "disease-fighting Streamers" in the search bar, and then the big data search began. Many bloggers fighting various rare diseases appeared on Qin Yang's phone.

Qin Yang clicked on them one by one. Cancer cases were the most numerous. In fact, cancer is also a type of genetic disease, caused by gene mutations. As long as it is a genetic disease, the Gene Defect Medicine can effectively suppress and cure it.

But the cancer cake was simply too big. Countless pharmaceutical companies in this world survived on cancer. If Qin Yang claimed he could cure it directly, he feared countless people would come knocking the next day. Qin Yang was left with only two choices: one was to share most of the profits and keep just a bit for himself, and the other was to resist with all his might. Although he had the system, he was only just starting to spread his wings and was far from being fearless of heaven and earth.

Once interests reached a certain level in this world, the degree of darkness far exceeded people's imagination.

This was the reason Qin Yang fell into deep thought upon seeing cancer patients. Qin Yang originally wanted to label himself a businessman and not be soft-hearted, but seeing so many patients on his phone tortured by pain beyond recognition, Qin Yang's heart softened after all.

Sighing, Qin Yang thought to himself: Forget it, forget it. Meeting this master, consider it your good luck!

Next, Qin Yang randomly opened a cancer-fighting blogger with over three million followers. For the first trial, Qin Yang planned to select only ten people. Choosing those with many followers was also Qin Yang's own selfishness; more followers meant more traffic. Once such high-traffic bloggers were cured by Qin Yang, it could better spread the fame of the medicine. This was a necessary move, as his Third Pharmaceutical Factory was unknown among pharmaceutical companies; to open up sales channels, he had to use some ingenuity.

This blogger's stage name was Coffee, and she had rectal cancer. She had undergone chemotherapy eight times and had a family history. It was already the late stage of cancer. Now she maintained her medical expenses and living costs by selling paintings. Qin Yang watched several of her videos. The young girl was not old and was not only very beautiful, like a porcelain doll, but her paintings were also very spiritual. If not for the cancer, she would likely become a well-known painter in the future.

After learning about her, Qin Yang sent a private message to the blogger.

The content was very simple: "My company has developed an anti-cancer drug that can significantly suppress cancer cells. We now need to conduct clinical trials and are recruiting cancer patients for drug testing. Congratulations, you have been selected by our company. If interested, you can reply to me via private message. We will reimburse round-trip travel expenses, food, and lodging!"

Closing words: "Give yourself a chance. What if it's real!"

Qin Yang's words were very blunt. He was indeed giving the other party a chance. There's a saying in the financial world: what you don't know the outcome of is called gambling, and what you do know the outcome of is called investing. This saying also reflected Qin Yang's meaning because he knew the outcome.

Then Qin Yang began to select the next trial participant.

This time he chose a blogger with a million followers, but the one who was sick was not her, but her younger sister, a patient with congenital ichthyosis. This was a typical genetic defect; usually, patients couldn't even live to adulthood. Qin Yang searched for the blogger and also got a general understanding of why she became famous.

The blogger's stage name was Xiao Lan, born into an ordinary rural family that had farmed for generations. Since her sister got sick, her parents had spent all their savings, which wasn't even a fraction of the medical costs. Before her sister got sick, Xiao Lan liked Lolita fashion and usually filmed some videos using rented clothes. She found there was some traffic, and thus, The young girl wearing Lolita fashion while doing heavy farm work appeared in the public eye. The contrast of The young girl also made her popular. It was this older sister who took over the burden from her parents, using the money earned online to start treating her sister.

After learning about her, Qin Yang used the same words to leave a private message for her.

Then he continued screening.

The third one was a blogger with over five million followers. However, to Qin Yang's surprise, there wasn't a single video on this blogger's page. There was only a simple line under the Big Bad Wolf avatar: "Requesting a Resurrection Scroll. If there isn't one, then never mind..." Such a situation naturally piqued Qin Yang's curiosity, so he began to search. With this search, Qin Yang learned the story of this blogger. It started when a small blogger posted a video in the middle of the night, and the blogger with the Big Bad Wolf avatar left a comment: "Go to sleep early, or your hair will all fall out!" followed by a playful emoji.

Facing the preaching of the Big Bad Wolf avatar blogger, the small blogger was a bit unhappy at first and replied, "Same to you." Then the Big Bad Wolf avatar blogger replied: "Mine has already all fallen out. Late-stage cancer!"

Seeing this, the small blogger realized they had misunderstood and quickly apologized. The Big Bad Wolf avatar blogger kept saying it was fine and comforted them.

This incident quickly went viral online. Fearing that some internet trolls would attack the small blogger, the Big Bad Wolf avatar blogger specially came back to comfort the small blogger and apologize.

In this way, the two became friends while apologizing to each other, until one day, the Big Bad Wolf avatar blogger sent the small blogger one last piece of text.

"I might be leaving soon. My body has been hurting very, very much these past two days. Today I signed the organ donation form. You must live well. Let's be friends again in the next life!"

After this passage, the Big Bad Wolf avatar blogger never appeared again, presumably having passed away.

After Qin Yang finished reading, he couldn't help but fall into silence. He hadn't expected the person to be gone, but he still sent a private message: "I have a Resurrection Scroll here. If you are still fighting the disease, then contact me!"

In this way, with a sense of bitterness, Qin Yang continued to select the remaining trial participants. Everyone had their own story. This afternoon, Qin Yang was completely emo! But fortunately, while heaven gave him a heart of compassion, the system also gave him the ability to save all living beings! How could this not be a good thing!"}],
