Chapter 1426 Meeting the Envoy Again
The brief greeting showed Fang Qiu’s unbreakable self-confidence.
Hearing this, the media reporters also laughed one after another.
Before they interviewed Fang Qiu…
The representatives of traditional medical skills from other countries said the same thing.
All partic.i.p.ants of this medical exchange conference seemed full of confidence in their strength. Even the Hinndu doctor Sinde was full of drive and vigor, regardless of the negative remarks from others. He swore to win the final victory and the reward of 100 million dollars!
After Fang Qiu said that…
He walked out of the group of reporters for the Murica Medical a.s.sociation.
Meanwhile, the other five people being interviewed also said goodbye to these reporters and stepped into the Murica Medical a.s.sociation!
The interview was over.
These media reporters lost no time in publis.h.i.+ng the latest news and interviews.
Soon…
Headlines of the major media outlets in Murica revealed similar news one after another.
“Fang Qiu: Here I Come. Chinese Medicine Joins in. I’ll Win, and so Will Chinese Medicine!”
It seemed they had made an agreement. Almost every media agency used Fang Qiu’s words as their headlines. And their subt.i.tles were: “100 Million Dollars, Who Will Get the Money in the End?”
Of course…
There were also a lot of short reports.
No matter what, the headlines were all interviews with Fang Qiu.
As these interview reports appeared, many well-known critics began commenting on this matter.
“It’s more than a matter of the eye-catching 100 million dollars. This is a serious matter related to the rise of traditional medicine. For any traditional medicine that can eventually win, 100 million dollars is just a mere trifle in the way of profit. Do you know what they need and desire the most? It is to develop their traditional medicine in the world after the victory. It will spread all over the world as suddenly as lightning!”
“Various kinds of traditional medicine worldwide have always existed. However, none has found a suitable opportunity to publicize itself. As such, all of them haven’t grown rapidly. Among them, Chinese Medicine in Huaxia has the best development. But even so, Chinese Medicine can only expand within Huaxia. It is not welcomed in other countries, nor could it win people’s trust in other countries. The situation of traditional medicine in other countries is much worse. Therefore, this is not a compet.i.tion but an excellent chance for traditional medicine to bloom. Let’s look forward to seeing the final result — who will be the winner and who will be also-rans!”
“That’s right. This is a great chance to promote their products to the whole world. No matter who wins, any traditional medicine seizing this opportunity will rise unstoppably!”
“Next, let’s see who will win.”
“Whoever the winner is, traditional medicine will rise after this medical exchange conference!”
Not only these critics but even experts in various industries began to a.n.a.lyze this matter from their perspectives.
As these people joined in the discussion…
As a result, this incident gained a growing influence.
The netizens’ discussions became more and more heated.
“Anyway, I think Fang Qiu will win!”
“Fang Qiu is capable, but Arya’s strength is not weak. In my opinion, either Arya or Fang Qiu will be the winner. Frankly, I support Arya!”????w???oν?l. c??
“I bet 1000 Murica dollars on Sinde, and the odds on him are 1-300. So I do hope Sinde can win. Then, I’ll earn 300,000 Murica dollars!”
“Bro, to be honest, I support your bold move. But still, I bet 1,000 dollars on Fang Qiu, though his odds are only 1 to 0.8.”
“Huaxia, Hinndu, and Egyptt have traditional medical skills. But why doesn’t Murica have any?”
“Aren’t there any traditional medical skills in Murica?”
“Modern medicine is equal to our traditional medical skills. In this respect, our traditional medicine is the best among all kinds of traditional medicine worldwide.”
“But methods of modern medicine are not as magical as traditional medical skills. At least I have never seen Western Medicine cure patients in such a short time.”
Netizens across Murica carried on endless discussions with enthusiasm.
They talked about contestants and different types of traditional medicine. Soon after, they switched their topics to traditional medicine and guesses of the gambling game. Some scholars even began to collect information and discuss how to write papers about traditional medical skills.
There were reactions of great variety and diversity!
…
Before the Murica Medical a.s.sociation…
Fang Qiu entered with the other five people.
As soon as they were in the hall, they saw a young man in a suit. Led by him, the doctors and staff of Murica Medical a.s.sociation lined up on both sides to welcome them.
“Welcome, everyone.”
When the leading young man saw Fang Qiu and the others coming, he walked up with a brilliant smile. Then he reached out his hand to Fang Qiu, who was at the front.
Fang Qiu shook hands with him while looking at him carefully.
In his eyes…
The man was about 30 years old. Except for his golden hair, his figure and face were very ordinary. But his movements were surprisingly elegant as if he had been specially trained.
While Fang Qiu was observing him…
The young man shook hands with the other five people. Afterward, he turned back and introduced himself, “My name is David Jones. You can call me David!”
After his brief self-introduction…
He pointed to an elder about 60 years old with gray hair and introduced him. “This is John Clark, the president of the Murica Medical a.s.sociation. You can call him President John.”
Fang Qiu and the other five heard it.
They nodded knowingly.
“Since we’re already here, tell us the meaning of this match.”
Antun, hot-tempered, stepped out and said. He was the representative of traditional medical skills in South Murica tribes.
“Will the compet.i.tion start today?”
Sam, the Babyloon doctor, also put forward his question.
“Yes.”
The president of the Murica Medical a.s.sociation didn’t say anything. Instead, the young man nodded with a smile and responded, “Since everyone is in such a hurry, let me tell you the purpose and meaning of this compet.i.tion in detail.”
With this…
David strode forward and said to the six traditional medical representatives, including Fang Qiu, “Just as we announced publicly, we invited you here because we found a new virus. This virus has never appeared in human history. After careful research and experiments, we discovered it would not affect people’s normal lives. However, it will take away their vitality. Moreover, this virus is highly infectious and has a wide range of transmission channels. It is complicated to prevent it!”
Everyone heard this.
They couldn’t help raising their eyebrows.
“Such a powerful virus?”
Although supremely confident, they involuntarily felt worried when listening to the virus’s characteristics.
In contrast, Fang Qiu stayed calm.
Sure enough, the Murica government invited them to deal with the mysterious black substance!
“We’ve been researching for a long time, but this virus is tenacious. Our current science and technology skills are not enough to kill it.”
At this point, David paused, glanced at the six of them, and continued, “That was why we invited you here. It matters to the future of humankind. I hope you can do your best to deal with this mysterious virus.”
“As we have promised, anyone who eradicates the virus can be rewarded with 100 million dollars. In addition, we will help the winner carry out medical activities and promotions in Murica!”
After this…
The other five people’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Fang Qiu shook his head secretly.
These people couldn’t deal with the black matter. They might even be infected and bring the black matter to their countries.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s get started!”
Sinde, the Hinndu doctor, said eagerly. It seemed he could hardly wait to realize his potential.
“Okay.”
David said without hesitation. “Because the virus is contagious, it is now in the isolation room. Before we start, please change into isolation suits. Later, I will send someone to take you there.”
As they talked…
David waved his hand at the staff of Murica Medical a.s.sociation. Immediately, someone sent the isolation suits to Fang Qiu and the other five people.
In no time, they put on isolation suits.
Afterward…
Led by a worker sent by David, they walked out of the back door. After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at an isolated area.
There was nothing around. A whole stretch of land was laid waste.
Six rooms surrounded this area.
The outer walls here were made of bricks, yet the rooms were full of gla.s.s. The people in the six rooms could see each other’s situation.
They entered this place.
Everyone saw a person sitting in each room.
Then…
Each of them was led to a room. The six people would begin their one-on-one treatment.
Upon entering the room, Fang Qiu first looked around.
He found the room was set up entirely according to the standards of building an isolation room. There was nothing in it except the smell of disinfectant in the air. The whole room was completely sealed, and only a small ventilation system was running.
“Um?”
After Fang Qiu carefully observed the surroundings…
He fixed his eyes on the patient sitting alone in the room with his eyes closed.
With a closer look…
This person looked a little familiar to him.
“It’s… Lester.”
Suddenly, Fang Qiu trembled all over.
He knew this person.
The man before him was Lester, a special envoy from Murica. He had made trouble for him in Zhongdong. Though they had no contact later, Fang Qiu had seen him several times in the Egyptt relic. Therefore, he had a deep impression of Lester.
However…
Lester looked entirely different from before.
At this time, his face was so haggard that Fang Qiu almost couldn’t recognize him. As a vampire descendant, his face was pale because he suffered from anemia.
Back then, his cheeks and eyes were still plump, and he looked like a normal human being.
Now…
Both his cheeks and eyes were sunken. What was worse, he looked rather feeble. Fang Qiu even saw traces of black Qi on his face, which looked a little scary.
Seeing this, Fang Qiu had such panic fear.
Fortunately, he discovered the black substance early and found a solution. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome!
