MFAW - Chapter 122 - Dispute in the Preliminary Round

 The entire building in the manor has been divided, with up to five rooms available on each floor, and these five rooms have basically been occupied since the beginning of the game.

When the door to the room is opened, only the assistant can enter and exit, and the door is kept closed the rest of the time.

At this time, the role of the assistant comes into play. When the representatives of each family are busy detoxifying and making antidotes, the assistant is the one responsible for food, drinks and other things.

Three meals a day were delivered on time so that they could concentrate on making the antidote.

After the first level of detoxification, there will be acupuncture and the most basic pulse diagnosis. Patients suffering from various strange diseases found from all over country G will be arranged to come.

Whether the patient can be cured is the most important qualification for promotion.

Those with the highest overall ranking will compete for the top three.

There is a special rest area outside the third floor, which is filled with medical books. In order to create a book-rich, relaxing environment, various rare flowers and trees are also placed around it.

In their free time, these people would come over to read books and take a good rest after the intense competition.

Wen Li placed the toxin on the shelf and began to separate it, using the equipment provided in the room to investigate its ingredients.

"Do I need to catch two mice for you to do experiments?" Su Jingjing leaned over and took a look.

Wen Li stood in front of the table and looked at the rich liquid poured out of the bottle. It had no smell, but the color was a bit unique.

"It's not needed right now."

After analyzing the ingredients, you can just use it when making the antidote.

Xia Chen served the boss wholeheartedly. Although he didn't know much about these things, he could serve tea and water to the boss.

It won't make the boss too lonely.

"If you feel bored, go out and help me look at it." Wen Li looked at the person lying dead on the sofa over there.

Su Jingjing sat up suddenly, "What are you looking at?"

Wen Li threw a packet of paper over, "Take one from it and put it in your pocket, and take it out every ten minutes while walking around."

"Why?" The person on the sofa was unhappy.

She could just go out and have a look by herself, and join in the fun with Wen Li.

"Some people's grudges may have already started. If you bump into them accidentally, they won't feel sorry for accidentally hurting you." Wen Li reminded lazily.

Su Jingjing nodded. This made sense. She hurriedly took one out of the box, folded it, and put it in her coat pocket.

"Then I'm going out. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to get you some useful information." Su Jingjing said and blinked.

Xia Chen looked over, a little worried, "Can Sister Su do it?"

Although Su Jingjing knows how to be flexible and not rigid in many things, this is a pharmacy competition after all. To put it bluntly, it is the process of preparing and detoxifying poisons.

More likely she'll be poisoned as soon as she leaves.

Wen Li, who was concentrating on looking down at the toxins, did not answer.

As soon as Su Jingjing went out, she ran into the boy next door. It wasn't An Zisu, but someone else.

The young boy took the little girl who just said she was hungry out of the door and led her to the rest area opposite.

He took a bottle of drink from the freezer and handed it to her. The little girl lowered her head, looking like she was not interested in talking.

"We can't have food delivery, right? We don't have a car. It's quite far from the center of the Imperial Capital. If you bear with it, we'll have dinner in a few hours."

The little girl weakly took the candy-flavored drink and took a sip, "But I'm really hungry. I haven't rested since I came from Qingcheng, and accompanied Zisu here."

The young man touched her face and said, "Yingying, be good. Zisu is busy now. Be obedient and don't disturb him."

An Zisu had been preparing for this competition for a long time and could not be disturbed at this time.

Zisu seemed to be quite embarrassed by the poison he had drawn this time. He sat at his desk and never moved.

He took Yingying out and so he can be alone, and maybe he could get some clues.

"If Zisu wins, can we go back to Qingcheng?" Yingying raised her head, her face full of hope.

The young man shook his head, "No, have you forgotten that Zisu still goes to college?"

An Zisu is different from them. They all grew up in the countryside of Qingcheng. They followed Mr. An, tried herbs, medicine and consulted doctors since childhood. They only graduated from high school without going to college.

But An Zisu, a student majoring in traditional pharmacy at Imperial University who was admitted with the best grades, is a sophomore this year and cannot go back.

In a small place like Qingcheng, the locals were happy for a long time when a college student like An Zisu came out.

It's a pity that the An family has declined, and An Zisu's only grandfather has passed away. They are the only two people left to take care of the An family pharmacy. If it weren't for helping An Zisu compete this time, they would not leave the place where they have lived for so long to come here.

As a result, they were late on the first day and almost missed the draw, which was a waste of time.

When Su Jingjing listened to the words of the two people, she could also see that the temperament of these two people was simple and not as arrogant as those young masters and ladies who claimed to be famous.

She became interested, casually took a book from the bookshelf, and sat down opposite the two of them.

"Let's sit here. I'll help you find a couple of books to read."

The door on the far left side of the corridor was opened from the inside, and a man wearing a light blue gown came out, rubbing his neck with his hands.

"I'm exhausted." Jiang Wei patted his neck and came over.

The assistant following behind him smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, do you need anything to drink? I brought some red wine and champagne. It would be good to drink some to wake you up."

"Okay, go over and pour me a drink. I'll take a rest."

As soon as Jiang Wei entered the rest area, he found a place to sit down. The assistant diligently took out the prepared things, and the rich and fragrant aroma of wine filled the air.

Soon, the elevator sounded, Tong Qi glanced at the man who was still sitting on the sofa and started tasting wine.

"Hey, do you already have a clue?" Tong Qi sat down in front of Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei pushed the cup at hand, and the assistant stepped forward to fill it up. The scarlet liquid swayed and gently slid down the transparent cup wall.

"It's not too difficult, it just takes a little more time." Jiang Wei said this with certainty.

Tong Qi became enlightened and clinked the cup with him, "Just think of it as a celebration drink in advance. If we can make the antidote within three days, we will win."

The Jingnan Tong family would naturally not be knocked down by such a poison.

"But before I came here, I studied all kinds of toxins that Mr. Bai has made over the years. I even looked at the toxins from the pharmacist. They are really not on the same level." Jiang Wei said this with some admiration in his eyes.

These two are both god-level figures. How many people have struggled all their lives to reach their status and fame.

"If we can really meet Pharmacist Li this time, it will be a worthwhile trip." Tong Qi said with longing on his face.

Both of them had a tacit understanding that they would not ask each other what number they drew. This was at least a sign of pride and confidence.

No one would depreciate themselves before a match has even started. A famous family has the dignity that a famous family should have.

"But in this competition, Mr. Bai has not shown his face until now, which is a bit strange." Jiang Wei expressed doubts.

It was an event hosted by the Bai family, but only Bai Nanxing and Bai Ziling were seen throughout the event.

Mr. Bai has never shown his face.

"There are rumors that Mr. Bai is not mentally normal, but I don't know if it is true."

At this age, there are always problems of one kind or another, which is normal.

"Yingying!!"

Just when the two were chatting happily, the young man over there shouted.

The two of them looked sideways and saw the girl sitting on the chair with her eyes closed and starting to twitch. The boy moved very quickly, took the prepared medicine from his pocket and stuffed it into her mouth.

The girl's twitching movements were loud, and the crackling sound of books scattered on the floor attracted their attention.

However, the young man responded quickly. After taking the medicine, he took out the wooden ruler he carried with him from his pocket and gave it to her to bite. He gently patted the girl's back, and the person who rolled his eyes quickly recovered.

Su Jingjing stood up and poured a glass of water and handed it over. The young man took it and said thank you.

The two of them saw clearly the whole process of the young man's rescue, and were able to determine what kind of problem this girl had, which broke out regularly.

The girl named Yingying opened her eyes and comforted the boy beside her, "I'm fine."

The two grew up together, so naturally they had a very good relationship. Qian Yi raised his hand to check her pulse and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

Yingying had this problem in the past. This disease does not cause death or damage the body, but it only attacks from time to time.

After Mr. An's treatment, Yingying's attacks have been reduced from once a day to once a month, and now to once every six months.

The sudden attack today is probably because she is not used to the sudden change in her environment. In addition, she was too tired from the long journey today.

"Let her rest for a while. I've ordered a meal for you and someone will bring it to you shortly." Su Jingjing said.

After listening to her words, Qianyi and Yingying both had smiles on their faces.

"Thanks."

A young man of this age if he is not from an aristocratic family and has a strong material foundation, will have an easier time leaving his hometown and traveling far away.

Jiang Wei, who had a clear view of everything, recognized Su Jingjing.

She is one of the three people from the Jin family.

Jin Yanhua's apprentice really dared to come and participate in the competition!

"Which family are you from?" Jiang Wei suddenly asked, looking at Qian Yi and Yingying who were sitting together.

Qian Yi stood up politely and said, "An Family."

Wansu, An Family.

Jiang Wei carefully searched for relevant information in his mind. The Wansu An family was not as famous as the Tong Jin and Le families.

They are a well-known family in the Wansu area, but in the past two years, I heard that the An family was in decline, and now apart from their medical skills, they probably have nothing to offer.

Jiang Wei glanced at the clothes of the boy and the girl. They were indeed extremely simple.

"This place is not something you can come to. Don't you know that no matter whether you win or lose this time, all participating families need to donate five million to the Medical Association?"

When Jiang Wei said this, the eyes looking at the two people became more presumptuous and also showed disdain.

Qian Yi looked unhappy and could hear the meaning behind this man's words, "I wonder what you mean, sir?"

Jiang Wei stood up, walked to Qian Yi and bent down, picked up something from the boy's feet and handed it over.

"This is what you dropped."

Qian Yi glanced at it and took it with a polite expression, "Thank you."

There was no hidden sarcasm on Jiang Wei's face, "You're welcome, put it away and don't throw it away."

Judging from the clothes of these two people, when the boy took medicine from his pocket just now, he not only took the medicine bottle and wooden ruler, but also a neat handful of change that fell out.

If he hadn't seen it today, he would have almost no idea that there are still people in this world using such banknotes, and there are actually one yuan.

And he folded it neatly, so he guessed that he took it seriously.

"You should pack your bags and go back. The five million donation is no joke." Jiang Wei said kindly.

Qian Yi nodded slightly, "Thank you for your concern, we will pay attention to it."

"You didn't understand what I said? I mean..."

Su Jingjing interrupted him impatiently, "Shut up, there's so much nonsense, isn't it just five million? It's no different from anyone else. You have money, why don't you donate several billion more to show your status as an old gentleman?"

Jiang Wei didn't have a good impression of this person from the Jin family, but after hearing her words, he became even more displeased.

"Although the Luo family is not as prominent as these high-ranking families, it is still a wealthy family. No matter how bad it is, our Jiang family is not a poor family. We can still afford these small amounts of money, so you don't need to worry about it." Jiang Wei snorted.

Su Jingjing sneered, "Everyone participating in the competition can participate in donations on a voluntary basis, which means they have the right to donate or not. You don't have to take this matter seriously. If you don't have the ability to get a ranking in the competition, it's not bad to donate more money to buy your reputation. 

"I think you are desperate for your life, dare to talk to me like this." Jiang Wei said, taking out a small transparent bottle from his arms, and just as he was about to raise his hand, a force penetrated his wrist.

There was a numbness in his wrist, and he loosened his grip and the bag fell to the ground.

Looking up again, Su Jingjing saw the person standing at the door who took back her hand.

Jiang Wei lowered his head to check the silver needle stuck on his wrist. It was inserted into the most painful acupuncture point. He also used ten minutes of force and half of the silver needle was inserted.

"You have been listening at the door for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't come out." Su Jingjing looked at Wen Li.

"You are quite capable of causing trouble. You can still get into trouble even if you go out for a walk." Wen Li walked in with Xia Chen.

Su Jingjing shrugged, she was emotionless and said, "I will draw my sword to help when there is injustice, okay?"

Wen Li ignored her muttering and looked at Jiang Wei instead.

This person was the one I met last time. He was dressed elegantly and decently, but his behavior was somewhat contradictory.

"If you dare to attack me, believe it or not, I will go to the committee to sue you. I will go to the committee to sue you for using illegal means during the competition and disqualify you from the competition!" Jiang Wei looked at Wen Li angrily.

He couldn't believe that he could be bullied and defeated by such a stinky girl.

"You can go and file a lawsuit. As a doctor, you see people getting sick and do nothing to save them. I want to see if the people on the committee will stand by you."

Wen Li's words were a reminder.

When Yingying fell ill just now, the two of them were just sitting around watching the show, and never participated in rescuing people.

For doctors, not saving someone is the biggest taboo.

This goes against what Bai Guangjing, the old man of the Bai family, said. As a doctor, you must have a benevolent heart. If you can't do this, winning the championship crown will be worthless.

"What did you say? How dare you scold me like that." Jiang Wei raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Wen Li, "Since he can come here, it means that he is capable. If this person dies here, it means that he is not very skilled. 

Xia Chen nodded in surprise after hearing his words. At first glance, it seemed quite right, but his reasoning was the same as that of a doctor who is not worthy of seeing a doctor when he is sick.

Wen Li was too lazy to argue with this person and glanced at Su Jingjing, "It's time to go."

"Oh." Su Jingjing patted her butt and stood up, walking to her side, "You're done."

"It's very simple, not something complicated." Wen Li replied to her.

These words stunned several people present, and Tong Qi, who had been silent, also turned his attention to Wen Li.

"You really don't know how high the sky is. If you want to show off, you have to choose the right method. Who do you think you are? How dare you say it's simple." Jiang Wei sneered.

If you want to be wild, you have chosen the wrong place. What kind of place and what kind of occasion is this?

The people who came here today are all leaders from various families, not ordinary people. They are famous in the field of traditional medicine. There are many doctors who have been treating people for ten or twenty years.

But no one dares to say such a simple thing, it’s really a slap in the face.

"Let's go, it's time to go back." Wen Li ignored his ramblings.

Jiang Wei was completely ignored, and he stepped forward to take action, "Get the hell back here!"

Xia Chen impatiently grabbed the person's wrist and put it behind his back, "What are you going to do? It's over, isn't it?"

"She pricked me with a needle, and you just let her go? You have to kneel down and apologize to me today!" Jiang Wei was obviously unwilling to let go, "It's just from the Jin family, the one who poisoned himself to death. how can you be so arrogant?"

Su Jingjing saw the cold light surging in Wen Li's eyes, stepped forward and kicked him in the leg.

"When you scold someone, don't insult their parents. When you insult someone, don't insult their teacher. You really know how to pluck the hair from a tiger's mouth. I don't think you want this life anymore."

How dare you talk to Wen Li like this.

A little more and she will really cut his body into five pieces. This man won't even have room to pick up his bones.

"What did you say!!" Jiang Wei was so angry that he was about to rush over.

Tong Qi stepped forward, grabbed the man, and advised him, "Today is the first day of the competition. If you have any questions, we can talk about it later. Don't make trouble today."

"You didn't hear what she said about me. If I don't show her how powerful I am today, I won't be a man."

Wen Li took two steps forward and picked up the small bottle that Jiang Wei had dropped on the ground. "If you are not good at craftsmanship, it will be embarrassing. You have to remember that you are not only losing the Luo family's face, but also yours." 

As she spoke, the tip of her nose moved and she smelled a strange fragrance.

"If you have the ability, show it. When the time comes, don't come over and beg me!" Jiang Wei said coldly.

Wen Li threw the bottle in her hand, and Jiang Wei raised his hand to catch it.

"If that's all you have, don't use it."

Tong Qi held Jiang Wei's hand tightly and said, "Don't be impulsive."

It is said that those who study medicine can only cure diseases and save lives by carefully concentrating their Qi and being able to deal with everything calmly. Unfortunately, Jiang Wei has not learned a bit of the calmness and self-control of doctors.

"Click..."The door on the other side of the corridor opened, and the boy who came out of it had his rain-stained clothes changed into a light blue T-shirt. He glanced at the rest area and walked towards his two companions.

"What's wrong?" An Zisu walked up to the two of them.

Qian Yi helped Yingying and said, "She just got sick."

Hearing this, An Zisu squatted in front of Yingying and took her pulse carefully. After confirming that nothing was wrong, he raised his hand to touch the girl's face and comforted her, "It's okay, just go in, eat something and sleep." 

The young man spoke softly, and his voice was gentle when he coaxed the little girl.

It can be seen that the relationship between them is very good.

Qian Yi looked at the people across from him, leaned into An Zisu's ear and said something.

The young man turned around, feeling enlightened.

"What's your name?" Jiang Wei pointed at the her and asked.

From the day when the traditional medicine competition started until now, he has never heard of this stinky girl announcing her family name.

"It is the most basic courtesy to say your own name before asking someone's name."

Jiang Wei was completely furious now. This stinky girl was so arrogant. If he didn't teach her a lesson today, his life would be in vain.

"Don't hold me!" Jiang Wei broke away from Tong Qi's hand.

At this time, a strong male voice came, "Quiet, everyone."

Several people looked sideways and saw Luole coming with someone. He was the person in charge of managing the manor and the person arranged by the Bai family to be responsible for the order of the arena.

The middle-aged man's voice was always extraordinarily rich. He was wearing a crisp suit and stood still in front of a few people.

"If there is a conflict during the game, if you pick a fight and cause trouble, the Luo family, the Jin family, and the An family will all be deducted two points!" Luole looked at several people and spoke.

Luole is the person in charge of this competition, so he is naturally familiar with the representatives sent by all the families. He has met these representatives on the first day of the competition, and they are all good people, so naturally he will not forget them.

"Sir, wait a minute. It seems that Jiang Wei is the one who provoked this matter. It would be a bit too unkind for you to punish him like this." Su Jingjing stared at Luole who suddenly appeared.

This person might have been hiding somewhere and eavesdropping, so he showed up at this critical moment.

"Two more points will be deducted for further quibbles." Luole said with a selfless expression.

Su Jingjing kept her mouth shut knowing the current situation, but she was sure in her heart that this person was definitely not a good person.

Jiang Wei opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but was taken away by Tong Qi with a wink.

This matter can only be given up.

"You are causing trouble on the first day of the competition. If you are not suitable for this competition, you'd better quit as soon as possible!"

After Luole said this, he turned around and left with the people.

Before leaving, he glanced at the three people over there who had never spoken a word. Their expressions were cold and it was difficult to distinguish between emotions and joy.

The rest area, which was quite lively just now, became quiet now. Su Jingjing touched her nose in embarrassment and directed it at Wen Li.

"Two points were deducted, it shouldn't affect you, right?"

On the first day of the competition, even if she couldn't help, she also made her be deducted two points.

Something doesn't seem right.

"In a points-based competition, points will not be deducted for those who fail," Wen Li said.

The two points deducted were insignificant and did not matter to her. However, Wen Li looked at the young man in the distance.

This has nothing to do with the An family,

Luole deducted points from the Luo family because of Jiang Wei, and deducted points from the Jin family because of her. There was no problem with that.

But the An family felt a little like something unexpected happened.

"Hello." An Ziran stood up, walked to Wen Li, and stretched out his hand to her, "I'm An Ziran."

Wen Li stretched out his hand to shake his hand, "Wen Li."

This is considered getting acquainted.

"Thank you for your protective attitude just now. I'm really sorry that your points have been deducted."

Su Jingjing, who thought he was going to settle the score, showed appreciation. This young man was really different, and he didn't look at the issue one-sided.

She did argue with Jiang Wei just now to protect the two children, but what happened next was indeed not a development she could have expected.

This person was too reasonable and didn't blame her for the points deduction.

"It's not all because of you, don't take it to heart." Wen Li took a very open mind.

An Ziran's eyes showed appreciation. Wen Li was a girl, but she was calm and self-possessed that others could not match. It could even be said that she didn't care about anything.

It’s not easy to be able to cultivate so calmly at this age.

"We still have things to do, We'll take the first step."

An Zisu nodded and said goodbye to them.

After they left, the meals ordered by Su Jingjing were also delivered. The meals from the best five-star hotel in the imperial capital were delivered by car in person, so there was no such thing as no one could deliver them.

Yingying ate happily, and An Zisu looked at the food. There really were more good people in this imperial capital.

"That young lady, I didn't even ask her name just now." Qian Yi was a little confused.

After arriving at the door and getting in the car, nine out of ten sentences Su Jingjing said were curses. That Jiang Wei really pissed her off.

Wen Li took out a folded tissue from her body, looked at the changing colors on it, and became convinced.

"Not very capable."

The next poison can be easily discovered by others. This Jiang Wei is also a man who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

As soon as she reminded her, Su Jingjing also took out the paper on her body.

"Changed!"

This paper is made of a special material that can capture changes in the air. If it is poisoned with gas, it will change color.

"I'll go, that brat dared to poison me!!" Su Jingjing was filled with indignation, "I'll break him into pieces tomorrow and feed it to the dogs!"

Wen Li took the discolored paper and looked at it, "This is not a toxin. Who have you come into contact with?"

Two colors melted into the paper. It was not as simple as one person poisoning...

Su Jingjing thought for a while. She walked around and didn't seem to meet many people.

Xia Chen slammed on the brakes and looked back at the white car that appeared in front of him.

"Boss, it seems to be Li Ruobing."

Why was this person blocking their car?
