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

The next two days passed quietly in a flurry of activity.

On the vacant lot where the old house has been demolished, the outline of the new foundation has been roughly drawn with lime powder.

Luo Fei ultimately selected a design from the three options provided by Su Wanqing that featured a simple design and took into full account his parents' lifestyle.

The plan was finalized, and the construction contract was signed.

Today marks the official start of construction work for the construction team.

Early in the morning, two trucks loaded with building materials and tools, and a van carrying six or seven workers drove into Liuxi Village and stopped in front of the Luo family's old house.

The workers began unloading the goods, and the clanging sounds broke the tranquility of the village, attracting many villagers to watch from a distance.

Luo Fei and his family had already arrived at the scene.

His gaze swept over several cars before settling on a white SUV that drove up behind them.

The car door opened, and Su Wanqing stepped out.

Today she changed into a light gray tracksuit that was more suitable for outdoor activities, her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she wore a pair of lightweight sneakers.

"Luo Fei! Uncle and Aunt!" Su Wanqing greeted them with a smile as she walked over.

"Squad leader, thank you for your hard work." Luo Fei smiled and nodded in response.

"Hey, it's not hard work."

After replying to Luo Fei, Su Wanqing exchanged a few more pleasantries with Luo Weidong and Li Xiulan before turning to the person in charge of the construction team to discuss the specific construction drawings and site entry matters.

Watching from the side, Luo Fei had to admit that Su Wanqing was indeed very charming when she was working.

The daily selection rewards from the system arrived as scheduled over these three days.

On the first day, I chose the "Top Fishing Techniques" course. A wealth of knowledge about the habits of various fish species, the selection of fishing spots in different waters, bait combinations, the use of fishing tackle, and even the influence of weather flooded my mind.

The next day, the chosen item was a [Millennial Ginseng (processed, with all medicinal properties intact)]. The millennial ginseng, with its complete hair and beard, shaped like a child, and emitting a rich medicinal fragrance, was placed in the storage ring.

He tried to communicate with the system to see if, apart from rewards like real estate and vehicles that require documents and registration, other physical rewards could be directly placed into the storage ring.

The system responded with a brief thought: [Yes].

On the third day, which was this morning, I chose a Patek Philippe Starry Night watch (brand new, worth around 300 million RMB, with a full set of certificates and global warranty). A stunningly beautiful watch, with a dial resembling a deep starry sky, along with a rosewood box, certificate, warranty card, etc., instantly appeared in the ring.

At that moment, with a command from the construction team leader, the roar of the excavator began, and the huge mechanical arm carefully began to dig towards the foundation of the old house.

After watching for a while and confirming that the progress was going smoothly and that Su Wanqing was communicating well with the foreman, Luo Fei prepared to return to the farmhouse with his parents.

Just then, Luo Weidong's phone rang.

Luo Weidong was taken aback when he saw the caller's name displayed on the screen.

"It's your aunt," he said to Li Xiulan and Luo Fei, then answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone button.

"Feed? Yu Mei?" Luo Weidong's voice unconsciously rose a little.

On the other end of the phone came a tired and slightly choked female voice: "Brother, it's me."

Luo Fei had a deep impression of this aunt.

She was more than ten years older than Luo Fei. When Luo Fei was a child, before his aunt married far away, she treated him very well, often giving him snacks and playing with him. Later, his aunt married far away to Chongnan City, Sichuan Province. The distance was far, and after his grandparents passed away one after another, his aunt visited her parents' home less and less often, but she never stopped calling to greet them during holidays.

Luo Fei knew that his aunt had married well; his uncle was a senior executive at a large company and came from a wealthy family.

"Yumei, what's wrong? What happened?" Luo Weidong noticed the unusual tone in his sister's voice and immediately frowned.

Li Xiulan and Luo Ying also moved closer, their faces showing concern.

Luo Fei listened quietly.

"Big brother," Luo Yumei's voice choked with emotion, forcing back tears, "I really had no other choice but to call you. Linlin is sick..."

"Linlin is sick?" Luo Weidong's heart skipped a beat. Linlin was Luo Yumei's daughter, and she should only be fourteen years old this year. "What's wrong? Is it serious? Is she hospitalized?"

"I'm hospitalized at Chongnan People's Hospital." Luo Yumei sniffed. "They diagnosed me with acute leukemia. The doctor said I need to start chemotherapy as soon as possible, and we also need to prepare for the cost of a bone marrow transplant, which is very expensive..."

"Leukemia?!" Luo Weidong and Li Xiulan exclaimed at the same time, their faces turning pale.

Luo Fei's pupils also contracted slightly.

The formula he handed over earlier was specifically for this disease.

"Yu Mei, don't worry, we'll figure out the money together!" Luo Weidong said hurriedly. "Linlin's treatment is the most important thing! How much money do we need? And what about Zhiwei..."

Upon hearing her uncle's name mentioned, Luo Yumei on the other end of the phone suddenly broke down in tears: "Zhao Zhiwei is no human being!"

She began to sob intermittently.

It turns out that Zhao Zhiwei had been having an affair for a long time, had a mistress, and even had an illegitimate child. He had kept it a secret until his daughter, Zhao Lin, was diagnosed with leukemia.

Instead of actively paying for his daughter's medical treatment, he used this as leverage to force Luo Yumei to agree to a divorce and give up most of her assets, otherwise he would not pay for his daughter's medical treatment.

For the sake of her daughter, Luo Yumei reluctantly signed the divorce agreement.

However, after the agreement was signed, Zhao Zhiwei insisted on waiting until the divorce cooling-off period ended and he obtained the divorce certificate before he would pay the medical expenses.

Luo Yumei, a housewife with no stable income, had almost exhausted her savings on initial checkups and treatments. With nowhere else to turn, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask her older brother for a loan.

Listening to his aunt's tearful account, Luo Weidong trembled with rage, his face turning ashen: "That beast! A monster worse than an animal! Linlin is his own daughter!"

Li Xiulan's eyes also reddened, and she sighed repeatedly.

Luo Fei's eyes turned cold.

Preferring sons to daughters, having affairs, abandoning wives and daughters, and even using the life of one's own daughter as a bargaining chip in divorce proceedings.

This kind of scum doesn't deserve to be a father, doesn't deserve to be a human being!

"Auntie," Luo Fei suddenly spoke up, "Don't cry. Linlin's illness can be cured. Don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it."

The crying on the other end of the phone paused for a moment.

"Xiaofei?" Luo Yumei seemed to realize then that the phone was on speakerphone and that she could hear her nephew's voice.

"It's me, Auntie," Luo Fei said confidently. "Please send me the hospital's address, department, and bed number. I'll book a flight right away and get there as soon as possible."

"Xiaofei, come here?" Luo Yumei seemed a little flustered. "What can you do here? This illness..."

"Auntie, please trust me," Luo Fei interrupted her. "Linlin is my sister, I won't let anything happen to her. Send me the address first, then stay with Linlin at the hospital and don't go anywhere else. Wait for my call."

"Okay, Xiaofei, Auntie will listen to you," she replied, her voice choked with emotion.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Weidong and Li Xiulan both looked at their son, their faces full of anxiety and worry.

"Xiaofei, are you really going? I heard that illness costs a lot of money and there's no guarantee of a cure." Luo Weidong's voice was hoarse.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. Money isn't a problem." Luo Fei patted his father on the shoulder. "I have a way. I also have a way to cure Linlin's illness."

But seeing his confident eyes, his parents felt inexplicably at ease.

"Then be careful on the road," Li Xiulan could only say.

Luo Fei nodded, turned around and walked to the side, taking out his phone.

Instead of booking a plane ticket first, he found Zhou Mingyu's number and dialed it.

The phone rang a few times before being answered.

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

"Hello, Comrade Luo Fei," Zhou Mingyu's voice came through.

"Director Zhou, what's the current status of that leukemia formula?" Luo Fei asked directly.

Zhou Mingyu's tone turned serious: "Verification is underway. Following the complete process you provided, the first batch of experimental reagents has been prepared and is undergoing rigorous safety testing and in vitro cell experiments."

"The preliminary in vitro experimental results are astonishing! They showed near-100% targeted inhibition and clearance of various leukemia cell lines, while having minimal impact on normal cells! This is simply a miracle!"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"If the safety tests are passed, when is the earliest you can enter clinical trials?" Luo Fei pressed.

Zhou Mingyu hesitated for a moment: "Comrade Luo Fei, is there a reason why you're asking this?"

"My cousin, around fourteen years old, was just diagnosed with leukemia," Luo Fei said in a low voice. "I need a dose of the medicine made according to that formula. The sooner the better."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Mingyu's voice rang out again, now incredibly solemn: "I understand. I will coordinate immediately! Once the first batch of the drug passes basic safety verification, I will arrange for the drug and medical team to be sent to your cousin's hospital as soon as possible. Send me the hospital's detailed information."

"Okay." Luo Fei felt reassured. "Thank you, Director Zhou."

"Of course. Let's stay in touch."

After ending the call with Zhou Mingyu, Luo Fei immediately sent Zhou Mingyu the detailed address and bed information that his aunt had sent him.

Only after doing all this did he start looking up the fastest flights to Chongnan City, Sichuan Province.

There's a direct flight from Donghai City to Chongnan this afternoon, and the timing is just right.

He quickly booked his plane ticket.

Then, he walked toward Su Wanqing, who was still discussing details with the foreman.

"Squad leader, I have some urgent business and need to go on a long trip right away. I'll have to trouble you to take care of things at the construction site," Luo Fei said.

Seeing his serious expression, Su Wanqing knew it was no small matter and immediately nodded: "Don't worry, go ahead and get busy. Leave the construction site to me."

"Thank you." Luo Fei thanked them, then briefly explained a few words to his parents and sister, telling them to stay at the farmhouse and to contact Su Wanqing if they needed anything at the construction site.

Under the worried gazes of his family, Luo Fei returned to the farmhouse, found a small backpack, and quickly packed his luggage.

He sped towards Longhai City Airport, and on the way, he thought of the remaining Body Tempering Pills in his ring, and then asked the system in his mind.

"System, can the Body Tempering Pill cure leukemia?"

I received a system reply immediately.

【cannot. 】
