289: Chapter 289 Satisfaction

The moment the announcement was posted.

It was not just the internal network of the medical community; the entire internet ecosystem of the Xia Kingdom experienced a massive earthquake the very next moment.

The major mainstream media reacted with extreme speed, bypassing any complex editorial reviews and reporting on it immediately.

"Breaking News! Phase I Human Clinical Trials for Guben Yangyuan and the Hair Growth and Strengthening Agent Are a Complete Success!"

"A New Milestone in Life Sciences: Phase I Clinical Trials for Two Brand-New Wonder Drugs Triumph!"

"Shocking: Phase I Clinical Trials for Epoch-Making Drugs Are a Complete Success!"

...

One headline after another, bolded and highlighted in red, hit like a dense barrage of blockbuster bombs, delivering with terrifying heat capable of overturning the entire internet directly to hundreds of millions of mobile phones across the country.

At this moment, it was the peak of the Xia Kingdom's Spring Festival travel rush.

On crowded high-speed trains, the carriages were filled with the stuffy scent of instant noodles mixed with sweat.

Most passengers were leaning back in their seats, dozing off, their faces bearing the fatigue of travel and the anticipation of returning home.

Among them, a young man was idly scrolling through his phone when, suddenly, an eye-catching red news notification popped up at the top of his screen.

He glanced at it nonchalantly, but the next second, he sprang up from his seat as if he had been electrocuted.

"Holy crap!"

This outburst was extremely abrupt in the quiet carriage.

Several sleeping passengers nearby were startled and frowned, casting strange and dissatisfied looks his way.

But the young man didn't care at all; his eyes were glued to the news headline, his hands trembling violently with excitement, and then he roared out in ecstasy:

"It succeeded!"

"The medicine that God Lin created—the Phase I clinical trials have been a complete success!!"

As soon as these words were out, the passengers who had originally been full of displeasure were all stunned.

Immediately after, the entire carriage seemed to go crazy, and everyone scrambled to pull out their phones.

"Holy crap! Is it for real?!"

"I got the notification too! My god, it really succeeded!"

It wasn't just this carriage.

In crowded train station waiting halls, on highways jammed bumper-to-bumper, and even in bustling wet markets...

In countless corners of the country, hundreds of millions of people saw this news at the same time.

The fatigue of the journey and the anxiety of trying to get tickets that had been weighing on their minds were completely shattered at this moment.

Replacing it was an extreme excitement and fervor that rushed straight to their heads.

In the comment sections of major social media platforms, countless netizens frantically tapped on their keyboards and phone screens, the screen-filling exclamations seemingly about to burst through the display.

"Holy crap, the clinical trials were a complete success already? God Lin is awesome!"

"This is the most awesome New Year's gift I have ever received! Bar none!"

"With this speed and these results, God Lin is the pillar of stability for all 1.4 billion of us in the Xia Kingdom!"

Meanwhile, just as the entire internet was immersed in this massive New Year surprise.

Those involved could also not contain their inner ecstasy and began to share the results of the short three-day clinical trial on major social media platforms, forums, and Tieba.

"Thanks for the invite, just got discharged! My originally bald scalp has already started to show black stubble, and it feels a bit prickly to the touch."

"I won't say much else; I'm over thirty, and this morning, for the first time in a long while, I experienced the physiological embarrassment of an eighteen-year-old."

"My complexion is glowing so much that when my wife came to pick me up, she almost thought she had recognized the wrong person, hahaha."

...

With the emergence of these real-life feedback, the eyes of netizens across the internet couldn't help but turn red, and the jealousy soared to the heavens.

"Holy crap, you can feel prickly black stubble in just three days?! I've used imported hair growth lotion for a year and haven't even seen a single fluff! What the hell, this isn't hair growth medicine; this is a 'dead wood blooming in spring' technique for the scalp!"

"The physiological embarrassment of an eighteen-year-old? Brother, step aside and talk to me; explain in detail what kind of embarrassment! I have a friend who is very sick, and before he dies, he just wants to hear about this!"

"Damn it all!! That night when the registration channel opened, I actually listened to you bunch of trolls trying to discourage me, thinking there were unforeseeable risks, so I didn't dare click! So the risk you guys were talking about was returning to being eighteen?!"

"You bunch of bastards who got the benefit and are still acting coy! Were you the ones posting to call on everyone to be rational back then?! I actually believed your nonsense! Jealousy is making me unrecognizable!"

Amidst extreme envy and regret, the direction of the public discussion soon took a violent turn.

Since the efficacy of these two drugs had been confirmed and the clinical trials were a complete success, what were they waiting for?!

Countless people flooded the official accounts of the Xia Academy of Sciences and the Health Commission, frantically leaving comments and spamming the feed.

"Please! When can it be mass-produced and put on the market? Give us a definite answer! Even the donkeys on a production team wouldn't dare rest this much; hurry up and roll out the production lines!"

"Exactly, it's best not to do any more Phase II or Phase III tests; we aren't afraid, just post the link! Money is not an issue; I'll buy it no matter the price!"

"I've really had enough of the pain of hairpieces and hair transplants; put the Hair Growth and Strengthening Agent on the shelves quickly, I'll go broke just to buy it out!"

The calls urging mass production rose wave after wave.

And under the fermentation of this extreme emotion, the public's imagination began to spread uncontrollably and wildly into broader medical fields.

"Since these two drugs have already completed their Phase I clinical trials successfully, isn't the wonder drug for growing taller going to be released soon? I don't have high demands; just growing from 1.58 meters to 1.8 meters is fine!"

"And what about the medicine that can eliminate abdominal fat while lying down and grow an eight-pack, that must be on the way too, right?!"

"I am so looking forward to it! If God Lin really creates all these drugs, wouldn't we Xia Kingdom people all have supermodel bodies when walking on the street?!"

The entire internet was completely immersed in infinite longing and imagination for the future landing of medical technology.

No one doubted whether these things could be realized.

In their eyes, since Lin Yuan had stepped into the field of Life Sciences, everything was just a matter of time.

This almost blind worship and nationwide carnival transformed into an invisible, intangible, yet immensely massive torrent of belief.

...

A few days passed just like that.

In downtown Jingzhou, a dark official car was driving steadily, weaving through streets decorated with lanterns and filled with the growing atmosphere of the New Year.

Outside the car window were the lights of ten thousand homes and bustling traffic; the trees along the road were hung with little red lanterns, overflowing with the festive atmosphere of the approaching Spring Festival.

Inside the car, the light was slightly dim.

Lin Yuan leaned comfortably against the leather seat back, his fingers gently scrolling across his phone screen, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"It seems everyone is quite satisfied with this New Year gift."

"However..."

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head, calmly adding a sentence in his heart.

"This is just the beginning!"
