Activating the Omniscient System, I'm doomed!

It's 11 p.m.

In the dimly lit room, Song Yaowei clutched his head, practically going crazy.

The group asked him to crack the technology of anti-aging face masks.

But to this day, he still has no clue.

"I've analyzed the ingredients of the anti-aging mask, but I still can't understand it! What's the principle behind it, what's the reaction formula?!"

Song Yaowei was under immense pressure and extremely anxious.

After drinking a cup of coffee to perk himself up, he opened the alumni chat group and sent a message asking for help:

"Have any teachers researched the anti-aging face masks that are currently selling very well online?"

Discussions quickly broke out in the alumni group:

"Senior Brother Song, are you going to research this face mask?"

"I've been using this face mask for a week, and I must say, the results are amazing. I'm planning to find some time to study the ingredients."

"Something this effective must contain a lot of chemicals, right? It must have completely damaged the dermis."

"The amazing thing is that it doesn't damage the dermis. Instead, it starts from the epidermis and provides nutrients to every layer of skin tissue, just like farming. It can precisely reach every inch of land."

Song Yaowei didn't see any useful information, so he switched to the academic exchange group.

The request for help was posted, and someone replied very quickly:

"What a coincidence, my team just figured it out and has already verified it. The first reaction formula is..."

Ok?

The more Song Yaowei looked, the brighter his eyes became, and then his spirits lifted.

He quickly clicked on the other person's profile picture and requested to add them as a friend. "Teacher, I am Song Yaowei from Shiyao Group. Please accept my request."

I quickly received a notification from WeChat that my application had been approved and a greeting message.

"Professor Song, I've heard so much about you. I've often heard of your great name in the industry."

Song Yaowei straightened his back a bit more. "Not at all, we each have our strengths and can learn from each other. Take the anti-aging face mask that's been so popular lately, for example. I don't really understand it. I'm ashamed to say that."

"Is Professor Song also going to research this product? Is it a company plan, or a personal interest?"

Song Yaowei replied, "Yes, both. It's mainly part of the company's plan. May I ask your surname? And what is the purpose of researching anti-aging face masks? I just saw the first reaction formula you posted, and it gave me a sudden sense of enlightenment. What are the detailed processes afterward?"

"My surname is Yi. I just started a company and plan to specialize in researching cutting-edge technologies, so I let my team try it out and cracked the anti-aging face mask."

Hiss... Song Yaowei was shocked.

I couldn't find the answer no matter how hard I tried, and the other person was just practicing?

"Your team is amazing for cracking this technology so easily! May I ask which school of thought Mr. Yi belongs to?"

"We are anonymous and belong to no particular school of thought; we are simply collaborating with a group of foreign experts."

Song Yaowei looked enlightened and said enviously, "It seems your company has enough funds to hire a group of foreign experts."

"I've long admired Professor Song's reputation and am impressed by your pharmaceutical synthesis techniques. Would you be interested in joining our company?"

Song Yaowei was genuinely interested and hesitated before replying, "I wonder what the size of your company is? My company, Shih-Yao Group, is considered a world-renowned enterprise."

He didn't actually want to join a small company because alumni tend to compare themselves to each other, and it would be embarrassing if his company wasn't presentable.

The other party quickly replied: "Our company is certainly not as large as World Pharmaceutical Group, but we have no shortage of funds and have prepared a 20-year R&D cycle to purely develop cutting-edge technologies and dedicate ourselves to promoting the progress of the entire industry."

What a boastful tone… Song Yaowei took a sip of coffee, and even though he was over fifty, he felt a little longing for it.

If the technology developed can drive the progress of the entire industry, it will surely go down in history. In school, everyone will be eager to greet you with a smile.

"But how easy is it to do all that?"

The other party replied, "You can absolutely rest assured regarding our technical capabilities."

"If we can crack the technology of anti-aging face masks, we can naturally improve or even create more new technologies. At the same time, we will disclose all technical ideas and insights to company members and sign the names of all personnel involved in the research and development."

Can all R&D personnel be listed as authors?

Song Yaowei's eyes lit up. "What are the company's benefits like?"

"Monthly salary of 10 yuan, other benefits are the same as those at Shiyao Group."

Higher than my current salary?

Song Yaowei glanced at the urging message from the president of Shiyao Group, then at the recruitment advertisement on the other side. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

But he dared not make a decision at night, and replied, "Please allow me to think about it."

"Of course, we are building a new laboratory in Xincheng and will be recruiting a pharmaceutical synthesis expert in the next few days. If you have a suitable candidate, you can recommend them."

"Only one spot?" Song Yaowei immediately became anxious and replied, "If I join the company, will I be able to see all the technical details of the anti-aging mask?"

"Can."

"Then I agree to join. Please send me your address."

The other party, however, was no longer in a hurry: "You can think it over in the next few days. If you decide to join, resign from your current job, arrange other matters, and meet at this address three days from now in the afternoon."

"If you do not wish to join, please let us know in advance so that we can find other experts."

Song Yaowei responded with an OK sign, which only strengthened his resolve.

He knew very well that there were many pharmaceutical synthesis experts in China, and if he didn't go, plenty of others would, and he would fall behind.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Through his connections with the National Security Agency, Roy obtained his driver's license in just two days and bought a Volkswagen Tiguan as his car.

At 2 p.m., he drove to the villa laboratory in the suburbs.

The renovation work has been completed, and the equipment can now be brought in.

"Your construction team is very professional. This is a thank-you gift for everyone, one for each person."

Luo Yi gave each worker a red envelope because everyone cooperated and worked overtime to complete the laboratory renovation ahead of schedule.

The workers were all overjoyed to see the red envelopes. Before leaving, they made a point of cleaning up, wiping the floor clean, and taking all the trash with them.

One of the workers whispered a reminder: "Boss, I saw a very strange triangular snake in the backyard. I'll come over tomorrow and sprinkle some realgar to drive it away."

Luo Yi smiled and said, "Thank you. I happen to have some realgar. I'll go over and sprinkle some around tomorrow."

After seeing the construction team off, he began setting up the equipment and bringing over all the necessary medicinal herbs.

I was busy until 3:30 before I saw the two professors arrive together. It seemed they had chatted quite a bit on the way.

"Professor Song, Professor Yan, please come in."

The two looked at each other and were both surprised to see how young he was.

Yan Jiping looked around, then asked uncertainly, "You're President Yi?"

"That's right, I am the domestic head of Yifang Company." Luo Yi added, "Regarding your missing son, I saw the missing person notice online and arranged for a team to look for him three days ago."

"Huh?" Yan Jiping was immediately flustered and quickly shook hands gratefully, "Thank you, thank you! You weren't even sure if I would come, yet you still made the arrangements. You're so thoughtful!"

In fact, Luo Yi had already asked the Omniscient System about his son's whereabouts and knew his location long ago.

He's been missing for over twenty years, and now he's grown up and working as a programmer in a first-tier city. There's no danger there, so I plan to wait a few days before making any further plans, to prevent the other party from abandoning their responsibilities once they find their son, or from being distracted while doing their job.
