Lynn didn't answer him, but instead peeled an egg and ate it.

As I swallowed the egg completely, a line of system text appeared before my eyes:

[You have taken therapeutic medication, which has further cleared away the negative effects on your body.]

After he finished eating the four eggs, lines of text appeared in front of him, eventually becoming:

You have taken a large amount of therapeutic medication, and the negative effects on your body have been completely eliminated.

Lynn let out a long sigh of relief and let out a satisfied burp.

Sure enough, those hardcore A-level videos I watched online in my past life were useful.

In order to ensure that the hens lay eggs stably, healthily, and continuously, the farm adds a large amount of various antibiotics to their feed.

Although it is for veterinary use, its ingredients and content are basically the same as those of human medications.

A large portion of the antibiotics they consume transfers into their bloodstream and then into the eggs they lay.

"Let me tell you a little secret."

Lynn peeled the eggshell off his fingers and then gently clapped his hands.

"The antibiotics that chickens in farms are given can also be taken by humans. If you don't take too much, there are no major side effects. In fact, they can be life-saving in critical moments."

"Eating eggs can treat colds and various inflammations, and the effect will be better. However, it is too risky. If you accidentally eat a little too many, you will have serious side effects."

In her past life, when Lynn saw Prison A talking about this in a video, she was thankful that she was in Tokyo University and didn't have to pay attention to these issues.

Little did they know that a day later they would be transported to Xida University, where these seemingly useless "tips" would actually save a life!

The current situation at Xida University is that many homeless people, and even people from the lower and middle classes, are taking risks and directly using veterinary antibiotics in order to survive.

After all, once you get sick, you have to wait two or three months just to register, two or three months to wait for the tests, and two or three months to see a doctor after the tests. The worst part is that you have to wait two or three months to pick up the medicine after seeing a doctor!

Back and forth, at least half a year has passed. Those who were healthy have become sick, minor illnesses have become major illnesses, and those with slightly serious conditions simply cannot survive!

Otherwise, how could so many middle-class people accidentally fall below the poverty line and become homeless on the streets?

Moreover, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now has very strict regulations, and in many cases, veterinary antibiotics are no longer available in stores and must be purchased with a veterinarian's prescription.

At this time, buying a dozen cheap eggs on the street is the simplest and most convenient source of antibiotics.

Jack, who had originally just been eating eggs for dinner, immediately became nervous after hearing what Lynn said!

"Hey bro, you just told us this huge secret for free like that?"

"Won't that mean we'll have an inexhaustible supply of cheap antibiotics from now on? You wait, I'm going to tell all my brothers and sisters in Fountain Square this wonderful news!"

"Please don't, please don't!"

Seeing Jack's face light up with surprise, as if he had found a treasure and was about to run out the door shouting, Mike grabbed his shirt and pulled him back.

"Mike, what are you doing? I'm just about to share this great news with everyone! With this cheap and readily available source of antibiotics, everyone's illnesses can be cured, and no one will die in this cold winter!"

Jack turned to look at Mike angrily, and questioned him sharply with great incomprehension.

"Hey bro, take my advice, never tell this secret to anyone else. It'll kill you and them!"

Mike gripped Jack's clothes tightly, preventing him from rushing out again, and said in a deep voice.

"Why? Mike, I didn't know you were such a selfish person. Do you want to watch everyone die in agony because of a lack of medicine?"

Jack's expression changed from impatience to anger. He stopped walking out, turned around, grabbed Mike by the collar, looked him in the eye, and questioned him sharply.

"It's not that I'm selfish or petty, Jack, you're a good kid, but your kindness will really get you killed! Lynn, you listen to me too, you shouldn't have said that!"

"Huh? Why?"

Lynn had listened to the clippings from Prison A, but not the whole thing, so he didn't know why Mike was taking it so seriously.

"If this news gets out, and they say you told them, they'll kill you!"

Mike said in a very serious tone.

"They'll kill you, those big pharmaceutical companies. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying countless hospitals, doctors, and congressmen to tell you that taking antibiotics privately is dangerous, illegal, and an abuse of antibiotics, and that you must buy them with a prescription under the supervision of a hospital."

"But at this point, you can buy a dozen eggs with strong antibiotics for only $6.23 and cure your own illness..."

"Think about it, how much will the interests of those who have paid exorbitant prices be affected and harmed? If they can afford such cheap antibiotics, who would still spend their hard-earned money to wait in the hospital, enduring round after round of torture and exploitation?"

"If you really do that, we might find your body on the street tomorrow, picked up and sold, and forever deprived of your right to live in this world."

After hearing Mike's words, not only Jack, but also Lynn felt a chill run down his spine and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mike. I shouldn't have been so harsh with you. You're right."

Jack then calmed down and sincerely bowed his head to apologize to Mike.

"Mike, I... I really didn't know this was so dangerous... but..."

A strange thought suddenly popped into Lynn's mind.

"Mike, you... you said you used to be a high school chemistry teacher. Did you already know that?"

After thinking for a long time, Lynn felt that he couldn't keep this thorn in his heart after the two left Jack's tent, and he wanted to ask him about it.

"..."

Mike didn't answer directly, but instead gave Lynn a deep look.

"So, so that's really how it is! You knew this all along, didn't you? You were just afraid of retaliation, so you didn't dare tell anyone, not even me?"

Lynn looked at Mike, who, despite having fallen to the level of a homeless person on the streets and frequently using drugs and smoking tobacco, was still a man.

But he was simply thin and listless; I never saw him cough or show any signs of pain.

It turns out he already knew the secret of this antibiotic!

"I'm so sorry, Lynn, I... I've only known you for three months. You were far more of a scoundrel in those three months than you are now. You weren't this polite and capable back then—now I know it's because you gained the power of the Witch God that caused this change, but before that, I really didn't want to, and dared not, tell you these things..."

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days. I was planning to tell you another time, but you did it first... I'm sorry."
