I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

As dawn broke, the sounds of roosters crowing and birds chirping outside the window shattered the village's morning tranquility.

Luo Fei lay on the bed and opened his eyes.

At the same time, he silently recited, "System, trigger today's choice."

[A divine choice has been triggered today.]

Two options appeared on the virtual panel in front of us:

[Option A: Obtain one bottle of "Body Tempering Pills" (containing ten pills, which can slightly enhance the user's physical fitness, clear the meridians, and gently eliminate impurities from the body.)]

Option B: Obtain one ton of "Liuwei Dihuang Wan" (a classic Chinese patent medicine, used to tonify the kidneys and replenish essence; each box has clearly defined specifications).

Luo Fei's gaze lingered on option B for a full three seconds.

One ton?

Liuwei Dihuang Pills?

His lips twitched involuntarily.

Does this system think he needs kidney tonics? Or does it think his family owns a pharmacy?

He shook his head slightly, silently thinking, "A ton of Liuwei Dihuang Pills? Am I supposed to eat them like food?"

In contrast, option A, "Body Tempering Pill," sounds like something out of a fantasy novel, and its description makes it seem more practical.

And there are ten of them.

His mind stirred slightly.

Is this "Body Tempering Pill" still useful to me?

He tried to ask the system in his mind.

The system immediately provided a response.

The Body Tempering Pill has no effect on the host.

really.

But Luo Fei was not disappointed.

Although this elixir is useless to him.

But it's useful for ordinary people.

My parents and sister are just ordinary people.

As my parents get older, their bodies inevitably suffer from some wear and tear from years of farming. Although my younger sister is young, she can also help improve her physical condition.

These ten pills arrived at just the right time.

Without further hesitation, I silently said to myself, "I choose A."

[Confirm selection. Rewards being distributed...]

There were no light effects or sounds.

A small, palm-sized, pure white bottle, resembling a slender-necked, round-bellied piece of jade, appeared out of nowhere beside his pillow.

Luo Fei picked up the jade bottle; it felt slightly cool to the touch.

Remove the stopper, which is made of the same material as the bottle.

A refreshing scent immediately wafted out, not strong, but instantly filling the entire room.

Inside the bottle lay ten perfectly round pills.

Just by smelling the aroma, Luo Fei could sense the extraordinary nature of the elixir.

It's definitely not some mud ball that those charlatans rub off their bodies.

He put the cork back on.

He carefully placed the jade bottle on the bedside table and got out of bed.

After getting dressed and quickly washing up, I walked out of the room. The main room was quiet.

My parents are already working in the fields.

On the table lay breakfast covered with gauze: two bowls of still-warm white porridge, two boiled eggs, and a small dish of pickled vegetables.

He sat down and ate a simple breakfast.

After clearing away the dishes, I went back to my room, took the white jade bottle, and went to my sister's door.

I knocked gently on the door.

A sleepy reply came from inside: "Who is it...brother?"

"Xiaoying, are you awake? I need to talk to you about something." Luo Fei's voice was soft.

There was a rustling sound in the room, and after a while, the door opened.

Luo Ying, wearing pajamas and with her hair disheveled, rubbed her eyes and looked at him sleepily: "Brother, what's up so early?"

"Let's go inside first." Luo Fei stepped into the room.

Luo Ying's room wasn't big, but it was tidy, with several posters of her favorite celebrities on the walls.

Luo Fei gestured for her to sit down, and then pulled up a chair and sat opposite her.

He took out the white jade bottle and placed it on the desk.

Luo Ying's attention was immediately drawn: "Wow! This bottle is so beautiful! Is it made of jade? Brother, where did you get it?"

"Don't worry about the bottle for now." Luo Fei looked at his sister seriously. "Xiao Ying, what I'm about to tell you is very important. You must do as I say, and you must keep it a secret. You can't tell anyone outside of Mom and Dad. Can you do that?"

Seeing her brother's serious expression, Luo Ying instantly woke up from her sleepiness and sat up straight, nodding vigorously, "I can! Brother, just tell me, I promise I'll listen!"

Luo Fei picked up the jade bottle and uncorked it.

That refreshing scent filled the air once again.

Luo Ying's small nose twitched, her eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! It smells so good! What is this smell? It's like every pore on my body has opened up!"

"This is a very special pill." Luo Fei carefully chose his words, unable to explain the existence of the system to his sister. "I call it the 'Body Tempering Pill.' After taking it, it can gently strengthen the body and eliminate accumulated toxins and impurities. Simply put, it can make the body healthier, improve physical condition, and may even improve skin."

He poured out a milky-white pill, held it in his palm, and handed it to Luo Ying.

The elixir gleamed and emitted an alluring glow in the morning light.

Looking at the beautiful pill, and hearing her brother say that it could also improve her skin, Luo Ying didn't hesitate at all.

"Should we eat it directly?" she asked immediately.

"Yes, just swallow it. There might be some reactions, like sweating or a slight stomach discomfort, which are normal and part of the detoxification process. Go to the restroom first and get a change of clothes, otherwise you'll be in a rush later," Luo Fei carefully instructed.

"Okay!" Luo Ying accepted the pill.

Without further hesitation, she followed her brother's instructions, first preparing clean clothes and placing them in the bathroom, then filling a large glass with warm water.

Then, he put the Body Tempering Pill into his mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm, soothing current that flowed down the throat and spread throughout the body.

It didn't have the bitter taste of medicine I expected; instead, it had a slightly sweet flavor.

"How is it?" Luo Fei asked with concern.

"It's warm and comfortable..." Luo Ying's expression suddenly changed before she could finish speaking.

She felt a slight cramping pain in her abdomen.

At the same time, the skin all over the body began to heat up, especially the visible areas such as the face and neck, where a fine layer of sweat, somewhat dark in color and with a fishy smell, quickly seeped out.

"Brother! I...I smell bad." Luo Ying panicked a little; the smell was really unpleasant.

"Don't worry, it's normal detoxification! Go to the toilet and flush!" Luo Fei said immediately.

Luo Ying didn't care about anything else and rushed into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Luo Fei sat outside, waiting patiently.

About half an hour later, the bathroom door was opened again.

Luo Ying walked out with wet hair and a blush on her face.

"Brother!" She ran to Luo Fei in a few steps, her voice filled with incredible surprise, "I feel so light! It's like a heavy burden has been lifted off my shoulders! I have so much energy! Look at my skin!"

She stretched out her arm, and her already youthful skin now shone with a rosy glow, delicate and smooth, as if one could pinch water from it. The few minor acne scars on her face were completely gone, and her whole face was radiant.

"How are you feeling?" Luo Fei asked with a smile, feeling relieved.

The system's product is indeed of high quality.

"That's great!" Luo Ying jumped up and down excitedly. "Brother, this medicine is amazing! Let's give it to Mom and Dad too!"

"We'll talk about it when they get back at noon." Luo Fei put away the jade bottle.

At noon, Luo Weidong and Li Xiulan returned from the fields, still drenched in the summer heat.

At the dinner table, Luo Fei took out the jade bottle.

With Luo Ying's corroboration and persuasion, the parents, though still somewhat skeptical, each took a Body Tempering Pill out of trust in their son.

The process was similar to that of Luo Ying.

The two spent a little longer in the bathroom (they're an old married couple, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to be in the same bathroom, right? Of course, they were taking a shower, so don't get the wrong idea!).

But when they came out looking refreshed, the fatigue on their faces had vanished, and their backs were straighter than usual.

Luo Weidong stretched his arms and legs, exclaiming in surprise, "This medicine is truly miraculous! My old, rheumatic legs seem much better! My whole body feels much lighter too!"

Li Xiulan touched her face, both surprised and delighted: "My skin feels so smooth now, this medicine must be very expensive, Xiaofei?"

"It's not expensive, a friend gave it to me, as long as it works well, that's fine." Luo Fei glossed over it. "Dad, Mom, as long as it feels good, that's all that matters. Let's just keep this to ourselves, don't tell anyone else."

"I know, I know." Luo Weidong nodded repeatedly. He was no longer surprised by the things his son brought out.

Seeing his parents' significantly improved mental and physical condition, Luo Fei felt gratified.

There are still seven Body Tempering Pills left in the jade bottle.

A thought struck him.

The effects of this elixir are so remarkable that it is undoubtedly a treasure for ordinary people.

I've kept seven for myself, but I don't need them for now.

Could we take out a few and give them to Director Zhou Mingyu?

Moreover, this is a good opportunity to have an in-depth discussion with Director Zhou about the "formula for a specific drug for leukemia".

That matter would be difficult for him to handle properly on his own.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated.

After his parents finished their afternoon nap, he went out into the yard, took out his phone, found Zhou Mingyu's number, and dialed it.

The call was answered quickly.

"Director Zhou, it's me, Luo Fei."

"Comrade Luo Fei, hello." Zhou Mingyu's voice came through the background noise, which quickly subsided. "What can I do for you?"

"Director Zhou, there are two things I'd like to discuss with you in person. I wonder if this is a convenient time for you?" Luo Fei got straight to the point.

"In person?" Zhou Mingyu hesitated for a moment. "About what?"

"First, I've come across a rather unique drug that I'd like to give you; perhaps your researchers will find it interesting," Luo Fei said carefully. "Second, it concerns a drug formula that has significant medical implications; I'd like to hear your advice."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Mingyu's voice rang out again, now extremely serious: "Medicine? Formula? Comrade Luo Fei, where are you now?"

"I'm at my old home in Liuxi Village."

"Okay. I'm in Kyoto right now, handling some urgent matters," Zhou Mingyu said quickly. "I'll personally go to Qingyang County tomorrow, or at the latest tomorrow afternoon. Where would you like to meet me?"

"Let's go to Liuxi Village, to my old house, or you can arrange it," Luo Fei said.

"Okay." Zhou Mingyu paused. "Comrade Luo Fei, are those two things you mentioned... very important?"

"I think it's very important," Luo Fei replied confidently, "especially the second one."

"...Understood. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."
