348: Chapter 348 Human joys and sorrows are not shared.

The moment the announcement was released, the tide of public opinion across the entire Xia country internet, like a deep-sea volcano being detonated, was instantly sent to its peak!

The comment sections of all major official accounts were refreshing so fast they created afterimages.

"It's here, it's here, it's finally here!"

"Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this day? I've worn out the calendar on my desk!"

"Brothers, I won't lie to you. When I saw that official red-headed document just now, I touched my reflective Mediterranean-style bald spot and burst into tears on the spot!"

"Vitality-Restoring Oral Liquid! I declare this the greatest invention of the century! My status in the family and the happiness of the rest of my life depend entirely on it!"

"God Lin is awesome! Xia country is awesome!"

Countless people used the most direct language in the comment sections to vent their long-suppressed desire and ecstasy.

These two medicines were not targeting some rare, incurable disease.

What they struck at were the most common and most difficult-to-speak-of pain points for hundreds of millions of ordinary people.

The appearance anxiety brought on by hair loss, the family crises triggered by kidney deficiency.

Those agonies that were hard to talk about on ordinary days, which turned into sighs in countless deep nights, had finally ushered in their ultimate redemption.

However, after the wave of ecstasy that lasted for half an hour subsided slightly, a realistic anxiety rooted in the life experiences of ordinary people began to surface.

A question that was extremely sharp and concerned the vital interests of every single person was thrown into the heated discussion area.

"Brothers, don't be in such a hurry to pop the champagne. Shouldn't we discuss a core issue—"

"How much does this medicine actually cost? Can ordinary people afford it?"

As soon as this question was raised, it quickly ignited a massive amount of long-accumulated resonance.

"That's right! This is a miracle drug that cures stubborn human ailments with heaven-defying efficacy; the price definitely won't be low, right?"

"The price isn't actually the most headache-inducing thing; I could grit my teeth and buy it! What I fear most is that production can't keep up! The number of people across the country troubled by hair loss and weakness must be in the hundreds of millions, right? How long has it been since the clinical success? How could production capacity possibly satisfy everyone?"

"It's over! I can already imagine those damn scalpers smelling the scent and pouncing on it! When the time comes, they'll list it on the secondary market at several or dozens of times the price, and we ordinary wage earners will only be able to stare in frustration!"

"Don't say it; I just went to some private forums to search, and it's actually f***ing happening! In one screenshot, a scalper team directly marked a price of 99,999 for a first-release spot! They even claimed to have a 10,000-person script team matrix for grabbing orders! These animals really don't treat people like human beings!"

"Protest! Resolutely boycott scalpers reselling medicine!"

The sudden change in the style of discussion caused the hope that had just been ignited to be quickly shrouded in a shadow called "capital."

Many people feared that this epoch-making technological benefit would eventually become a privilege for a few wealthy people due to market greed.

There were even tech-savvy people posting, starting to analyze how to write automatic purchasing scripts, attempting to get a piece of the pie in the next medicine-grabbing war.

And just as the focus of public opinion across the entire internet was fiercely evolving towards directions like "how to counter scalpers" and "suggesting real-name purchase limits."

The official account of the Xia Academy of Sciences, along with departments like the Health Commission, extremely suddenly updated a relevant post together.

"Joint Statement on the Sales Channels and Management Measures for the Two Medicines."

Countless netizens held their breath, their fingers even trembling as they clicked in.

The core content of the statement only had three points, simple and clear.

First, in view of the special efficacy and extremely high social attention of the two medicines, after research, it has been decided that they will not be listed or circulated on any e-commerce platforms or physical retail pharmacies during the initial launch.

Second, the two medicines are classified as strictly controlled prescription drugs, uniformly issued by Grade-A tertiary public hospitals in all provinces and cities across the country; patients can only purchase the special medicines after being diagnosed and confirmed by a doctor.

Third, strictly implement real-name purchase limits bound to citizen identity, with medicine purchase information networked with the national medical insurance system; each person is strictly limited to the dosage for the corresponding course of treatment, and over-prescription is strictly prohibited.

As soon as this statement was released, the style of the comment section changed abruptly.

"Well done! Going through hospitals, prescriptions, and real-name networking—with this combo, scalpers are done for!"

"This is the demeanor of a great nation! Medicine is for curing illnesses, not for speculation! Doing hunger marketing and online flash sales is for selling mobile phones, not medicine!"

"Honestly, although I can't comfortably place an order online at home, this method actually makes me feel completely at ease. At least I don't have to compete on speed, I don't have to play a battle of wits with scalpers' scripts; I just need to honestly go queue up and register!"

"Our country is really taking the common people seriously."

"Duh! What is Academician Lin Yuan's status? Who would dare to treat the things he created as tools for profiteering? In front of God Lin, capital doesn't even amount to a fart!"

The hearts of the vast majority of netizens, which had been hanging in the air, were completely settled.

The storm on the internet had just subsided, and the execution speed of the huge state apparatus in reality was equally shockingly fast.

That night, the offices of the directors of all major Grade-A tertiary public hospitals across the country were brightly lit all night long.

The next morning, the official websites and app homepages of top hospitals in major cities uniformly updated their pinned announcements.

The bright red characters were incredibly eye-catching.

"Our hospital has officially opened a 'Special Medicine Exclusive Clinic'."

"Effective immediately, patients can make real-name registration appointments through the hospital's official app, WeChat official account, and offline self-service machines."

"To ensure order in medical treatment, this clinic implements all-weather dedicated window reception; please visit during your appointment time."

At exactly eight o'clock in the morning, the appointment channel of the hospital's official app was officially opened.

In just three minutes, the outpatient appointment slots for the day, and even for the next few days, were quickly snatched up by the massive demand.

On major social platforms, it once again became a large-scale crime scene of "human joys and sorrows are not always shared."

"Holy crap! No way, have you people been single for thirty years? I just clicked in and it immediately prompted that the slots were full?!"

"Ahhhhh! My hand shook and I clicked the wrong date; I backed out to reselect, but it was already all gone! I want to slap myself twice!"

"Hahaha! I got it, I got it! A slot for next Tuesday morning! I won't lie to you all, my wife has already gone to the vegetable market to buy a turtle, saying she'll stew a Ten-Complete Nourishing Soup for me tonight to warm up!"

"You upstairs, don't be too arrogant! Where's my knife?!"

Meanwhile, just as the entire nation's attention was firmly captivated by the two special medicines for "hair growth" and "vitality restoration," and the internet was full of longing for a better future life.

An piece of inside information, without any official background but exuding extremely rigorous and professional data, was quietly spreading in major medical forums and university laboratory circles.

The source of the news pointed directly to the Life Sciences Research Institute under the Xia Academy of Sciences.

"Everyone, major inside news!"

"Over at the Xia Academy of Sciences, just now, they are about to launch a new round of clinical trials for special medicines again!"
