America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

After studying Walter White's cancer-fighting drug in depth, Bruce Banner classified it as a potent gene therapy.

This drug can have irreversible effects on a person at the genetic level in a very short time.

Walter's cancer lesions were extremely similar to Mrs. Chen's. The inhaled drug acted directly on the lung lesions, and the special drug could also be absorbed into the bloodstream through the alveoli to exert a systemic therapeutic effect, completely avoiding the first-pass effect of the liver and maximizing the drug's effectiveness.

Inhalational drug delivery requires specialized medical equipment, and Dr. Banner saw a device that looked like a "gas chamber" in Norman's laboratory.

Inside the transparent isolation chamber is a tilted restraint bed. The person on the restraint bed lies at an angle that makes it easy to be observed. After the medication is nebulized, it is sent into the isolation chamber from the bottom, giving people a contradictory feeling of barbarity and technological advancement.

Dr. Banner felt that this "gas chamber" should have been found in a mental hospital in the last century.

Fortunately, only Walter White and Norman Osborn have used this "gas chamber".

Dr. Banner redesigned a respiratory drug delivery device.

Dr. Banner's design is small and efficient. It is a nebulizer based on the Venturi jet principle, which uses high-pressure gas and high-speed airflow to break down liquid medicine into inhalable aerosols. Users only need to wear a breathing mask when using it.

Dr. Banner has drawn up the design of the nebulizer, but this "medical device" requires Dr. Banner and Li Qun to "hand-rub" it together, and the "hand-rubbing" process will take more than a month.

Wade is a careless person and lacks a rigorous scientific spirit, so Dr. Banner cannot trust him.

Imagine if Wade were to serve as Li Qun's research assistant during the day while he was at school. Dr. Banner can imagine what a terrible scenario it would be: Wade would either break components or lose parts.

……

……

On the day of the graduation ball, Li Qun only stayed at the school for a morning, while the school gave the graduates an afternoon to prepare.

On this afternoon, the girls got their makeup and hair done and changed into beautiful dresses, while the boys got their hair styled and got ready in suits.

Li Qun and Peter booked their suits a month in advance, while Gwen and Stephanie rented their dresses from different dress shops.

All of New York City knows that high school students graduating in May need to rent dresses for their prom.

Both boys and girls care a lot about whether their clothes are presentable or not on this day.

The formal dress rental market is entering its peak season, and it's essential to book well in advance to secure a beautiful gown.

If you book late, you can only wear "average" clothes.

The graduation ball is not held on campus, but off campus.

The school rented a banquet hall in a four-star hotel in Manhattan as the venue for the graduation ball, and the graduates needed to purchase admission tickets and arrive within the specified time to enter.

This is not a free graduation event.

"What bad luck..."

Inside the smelly subway station, Li Qun, wearing a mask, complained, while Peter cautiously looked around, and the two boys protected the two girls.

"I'm going to catch that thief who took my tires!" Gwen clenched her fists.

In the few minutes it took Gwen to pick up her dress at the dress shop, two tires on the same side of her car, which was parked on the side of the road, were removed.

Not only did Gwen lose two tires, but she also had to call a towing company to remove her car. The towing and storage fees were $300, and the four of them had to wait for the tow truck for more than an hour.

The initial plan was very promising.

The four of them picked up their formal attire, changed, and then went to the hair salon to get their hair and makeup done, so they could arrive at the hotel looking their best.

Now, after leaving the barbershop, they encountered New York's rush hour, with traffic jams everywhere. Taking the subway was still a sliver of hope for them to arrive at the party on time.

Li Qun was feeling agitated, as was Peter.

They all possessed unusual travel skills, but they could not use them now.

"Someone fell!"

The subway platform was also crowded, and Li Qun and Peter heard someone scream.

"Has anyone fallen off the platform?" Peter just waited in the crowd, not daring to look ahead, worried that he might push the people in front of him off the platform as well.

"The train is coming!"

Li Qun dared not imagine what would happen to the person on the platform after the train arrived at the station.

Li Qun squeezed through the crowd and jumped off the platform. The train's bright headlights were rapidly approaching the platform, and Li Qun saw the unfortunate man who had fallen onto the platform in the light.

"The subway absolutely cannot stop operating at this time." At that moment, Li Qun had only one thought in his mind.

Li Qun scooped up the unlucky guy with one hand and grabbed the edge of the platform with the other, then jumped up.

The train grazed the back of the Liqun train as it pulled into the station.

Applause erupted from the crowd waiting for the subway.

How dare you!

The train doors opened, people got off the train, and people on the platform got on.

Gwen grabbed Li Qun inside the carriage, staring at him with both eyes.

“How dare you!” Gwen repeated.

“I’m fine, and that person was saved too. I only dared to do this because I knew what I was doing,” Li Qun said, looking into Gwen’s eyes.

"You scared me to death!" Peter nervously reached out and pressed down on Li Qun's shoulder.

“You are the bravest person I have ever met,” Stephanie said to Li Qun, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You almost, you know, you almost got hit by the train and smashed to pieces."

“If the person who falls off the platform gets run over by the train, we’ll miss the prom,” Li Qun calmly told Gwen.

“I have nothing to say.” Gwen shook her head.

“You’re practically Superman,” Peter said, looking at Li Qun.

Li Qun turned and met Peter's gaze.

“You absolutely cannot hesitate in this situation, or you will be defeated,” Li Qun said to Peter with a smile.

“I understand.” Peter turned his head and let out a long sigh.

“I’m going to write to the mayor and ask him to install safety barriers in all the subways in New York,” Gwen said.

"The mayor's mailbox is just for show. How could the mayor have time to read the emails that New York citizens send to his mailbox?" Li Qun complained.

“I don’t care. As long as the platform safety railings aren’t installed, I’ll send him a letter every week,” Gwen said firmly.

“It would be better to write to Wilson Fisker, New York’s top philanthropist, at least he would respond publicly after seeing the letter,” Li Qun said.

Chapter 312 Do you want to dance?

Liz waited anxiously at the entrance to the banquet hall.

The graduation ball was scheduled to start at 6 p.m., and there were only seven minutes left before the end of the entry time.

At the end of the red carpet at the entrance to the banquet hall, Liz saw four disheveled figures rushing towards the entrance.

"How could you manage such a tight five-minute time limit?" Liz asked her dance partner with concern.

“Five more minutes? We can still get some fresh air from the subway.” Li Qun turned to Peter behind him and said.

"You came by subway?" Liz looked at the four people in surprise.

“Gwen’s car had two tires stolen, and it took some time for the tow truck to arrive. If we had taken a taxi, we would still be stuck in traffic,” Li Qun told Liz.

"Let's go inside first and then talk."

Li Qun and Peter pulled out the crumpled ball invitations, while Gwen and Stephanie's ball invitations were perfectly preserved.

Two security guards at the entrance of the banquet hall used ultraviolet lights to check the anti-counterfeiting marks on the invitations and the students' ID cards. After signing in, Li Qun and his group received commemorative wristbands, which were then placed in the banquet hall.

“If we’re really late, I can find a way to get them to let us in,” Li Qun said, trying to sound casual.

"Like in the movies?" Gwen asked.

“No, I’ll call the vice principal and tell him we’re being kept out.” Li Qun laughed.

The five entered the banquet hall, where their former subject teacher and dance partner warmly greeted them and gave each of them a gift with their name written on it.

Only five people were missing, and the subject teachers easily delivered the gifts to the people whose names were on the list.

Look here!

The photographer invited by the school set up his camera, ready to take pictures of the five people.

"Wait a minute, you're missing one person," the photographer said, peeking out from behind the camera.

Harry had been looking for someone, and when he spotted the five people who had just entered the banquet hall, he hurried over.

Harry has his own custom-made suits, unlike Li Qun and the others who have to go through the trouble of borrowing them.

“Now we have six people, he and she together.” Gwen shoved Harry next to Stephanie.

The photographer found the perfect angle, and Harry immediately forced a smile for the camera as they took a group photo with their teachers.

One more!

The photographer's flash went off continuously, and the principal, vice-principal, and other faculty and staff members came over to take photos with Li Qun and the others.

After several minutes of fiddling, the commemorative photos for the graduation ball were finally taken.

“I’m a bit too early. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I almost thought you weren’t coming,” Harry said, letting out a long sigh of relief.

“What if we hadn’t come?” Peter asked.

“I’ll have to partner with Liz, thankfully there’s an odd number left.” Harry smiled politely at Liz.

Liz gave Harry a helpless look.

The lights in the banquet hall gradually dimmed.

Mr. George Sr., the Vice Principal and representative of the graduation ball organizing committee, picked up the microphone and addressed all the graduates.

"What stage are we at now?" Peter asked in a low voice.

"Please take your seats, everyone." The voice of Vice Principal George echoed throughout the banquet hall.

“Dinner,” Gwen whispered to Peter.

Because they arrived the latest, they were seated at the very edge of the room.

"When does the ball officially begin?" Li Qun asked Liz.
