Chapter 34: Successful Preparation

Shi Qingyang knew the gap between himself and the Yin Family. No matter how hard he tried in his current situation, he could not become an expert in a short period of time. Even he wasn’t sure whether he could succeed as he did in his previous life.

Moreover, even if he became a master now, he was still only one person and was no match for the other side if he fought them, let alone anything else. Therefore, he had to rely on the strength of others.

Cheng Ran and Gu Changjin were the big trees he obviously depended on, but he also wanted to ensure their safety. In addition, he could rely on the original enemies of the Yin Family and the Yang family, as well as Cheng Xuze.

He was now in contact with the former, and the latter just lacked the bait. Moreover, if this matter was handled properly, it could be of great benefit to Cheng Ran.

When he returned to the villa with the herbs, Shi Qingyang specially looked at several hidden corners near the villa. Sure enough, he saw someone there.

“Young master, we are back. Are you home?” In the past, Cheng Ran was always waiting by the door, but this time he unexpectedly didn’t wait outside. Even though he knew that the city was safe, this situation still worried Gu Changjin.

“Grandpa Gu.” Cheng Ran opened the door, but he looked uneasy.

“Ranran, what happened?” Shi Qingyang put the herbs into the basement to prevent Cheng Ran from being hurt by the radiation on them. When he came back, he saw a strange expression on Cheng Ran’s face.

This expression was very similar to how Cheng Ran looked when he told him a few days ago that he was a pervert… Had Gu Changjin shown him something again?

“Shi Qingyang, I… I will be responsible for you. When we get older, we will get married,” Cheng Ran suddenly said, with a firm expression.

Although Shi Qingyang had already confirmed his feelings, he had to admit that Cheng Ran was too young–or rather that his mental age was too young–so he wouldn’t do anything to Cheng Ran.

Because of this, he had always felt that there was still a long ways to go, but he didn’t expect to suddenly get a proposal.

Gu Changjin was furious and glared at Shi Qingyang. “What have you done?”

“Grandpa Gu, I didn’t know before… It’s all my fault… I shouldn’t have done that to Shi Qingyang. I saw the film you gave me today. It said that you must be careful when you do that kind of thing, and you have to get married…” Cheng Ran took the initiative to admit his mistake before Shi Qingyang spoke.

He didn’t know until now that they had to get married before they could hold each other naked.

“What did you see today?” Shi Qingyang asked. Although he felt very sweet, he always felt that Cheng Ran’s brain circuit was different from his.

Cheng Ran soon took out another educational film he had watched.

The last time it was for children, this time it was the enlightenment chapter for primary school students. It was also mainly animation. Even if there were several pictures of real people, they were only used to explain the names of various parts, and was somewhat vague.

Shi Qingyang remembered that when he saw it, some people in the class said that it was not worth seeing, and no one took things like bad behavior before marriage seriously. He didn’t expect Cheng Ran to be so serious.

“Young master, what have you done? No, you couldn’t have done anything… Shi Qingyang, what happened?” Gu Changjin glared at Shi Qingyang, feeling that Shi Qingyang was too calm.

“Ranran didn’t see the film from the right angle…” Shi Qingyang was helpless. If Gu Changjin hadn’t been here, he really would have wanted to agree to Cheng Ran’s proposal just now.

Gu Changin could do nothing else. He took Cheng Ran upstairs and finally decided to have a face-to-face talk with him.

Gu Changjin tried to calm himself down, but after hearing Cheng Ran’s understanding of the two educational films, he felt like vomiting blood.

For the first time, he found that it was not easy to raise children.

After discussing for a long time, Gu finally explained the matter clearly. Finally, he said with caution: “Young master, you are still young. You must protect yourself.”

Cheng Ran nodded vaguely. “Grandpa Gu, when I get married, will it be like the educational film?”

“Of course, you can do that after you get married, young master.” Gu Changjin smiled. According to Cheng Ran’s status, he could choose his wife at will. But his condition was too particular. At present, he just hoped Cheng Ran could find someone he liked, and who liked him in return.

But Shi Qingyang… was tied up in revenge…

Even if Gu Changjin was a level five radiant warrior, he did not dare to confront the Yin Family. He was more sure that Cheng Hong would never help if he got into trouble with the Yin Family.

Therefore, if Cheng Ran was implicated in Shi Qingyang’s revenge, he would immediately clear up the relationship with Shi Qingyang.

Cheng Ran didn’t know what Gu Changjin was thinking. He was still thinking about getting married.

If he married Shi Qingyang, would they be together forever? Would he accompany him forever?

He really liked Shi Qingyang.

However, in order to get married, it seemed that he still needed to pursue and fall in love… Cheng Ran looked at the contact terminal that Gu Changjin has just removed a lot of shielding from, and thought about it.

At this time, Shi Qingyang had just looked carefully at the chip given to him by the other person, and finally figured out the cause of his parents’ death.

It turned out that the cause was just some stalks of ah furong1… This kind of medicine, which was used as a drug in ancient times, was now expensive. His parents found it and wanted to wait for it to mature before picking it. Finally, the Yang family picked the fruit of victory.

As for the person who gave him this message… There was a very famous female level-3 radiant energy expert named Liu Qilinin in Spark City. He had also heard of her.

Liu Qilin had a wide range of allies, befriended many low-level experts, and organized a hunting group to hunt beasts outside the city. Such a woman had a relationship with the landlady of the toy store, who was an ordinary person. She seemed to have a grudge against the Yin Family

He didn’t think any further on it. Seeing that Gu Changjin was still in the room, Shi Qingyang went to the basement. He removed the radioactive substances attached to the two herbs, and then took a small part of them to the villa. As a result, he happened to meet Cheng Ran, who had already talked with Gu Changjin

“This one is a Hundred Heads Grass2, and the other one is Taiji Herb3.” Cheng Ran looked at the processed herbs and the photos taken by Shi Qingyang, and soon recognized them: “These two kinds of plants are common mutated plants, and have no currently discovered medicinal value.”

“Ranran, you’ve only prepared medicine by watching teaching videos. If I give you just a prescription, could you prepare it?” Shi Qingyang asked.

Cheng Ran thought for a moment: “If it doesn’t require radiant energy, I should be able to.”

“Will you make me a potion?” Shi Qingyang gave Cheng Ran the recorder in which he had written the prescription: “Ranran, this prescription is very important. It is our secret. Don’t tell others for the time being, OK?”

“Of course,” Cheng Ran immediately agreed. Shi Qingyang said this as if he and Shi Qingyang had a secret that no one else knew. This made him very happy. 

And now he was planning to pursue Shi Qingyang. He just didn’t know what to give. He might as well make a good potion. If Shi Qingyang accompanied him, would this be considered a date?

Seeing Cheng Ran in high spirits, Shi Qingyang finally couldn’t help touching his hair: “Ranran, go to bed early today and do it tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Cheng Ran nodded: “Qingyang, can you touch my face a few more times?” Touching the body wasn’t allowed, but it was fine to touch the face, right?

After talking to Cheng Ran, Shi Qingyang went upstairs and contacted the account number given to him by the owner of the toy store last time.

“I’ve seen the chip,” Shi Qingyang wrote.

“Do you know the cause of your parents’ death? Do you want to cooperate with us?”

“I don’t know who you are.”

After a while, a video call request came from the opposite side. After Shi Qingyang connected, he saw the charming face of the landlady.

However, the proprietress, who used to look amorous, now looks serious: “I’ll introduce myself. My name is He Lan.”

“Your surname is He? Who is He Ming to you?”

“He Ming is my son. Shi Qingyang, I’ve heard of your name for a long time. I thought you were Mingming’s classmate. I didn’t expect that we would cooperate one day.” Knowing Shi Qingyang’s family and having He Ming to vouch, she would not hesitate to expose her identity and take the initiative to contact Shi Qingyang.

“Are you sure I’m willing to cooperate?” Shi Qingyang asked.

“You are so arrogant and deliberately offended Yin Tiancheng. Don’t you want the enemies of the Yin Family to find you?” He Lan smiled with great charm: “Although you’re now familiar with what’s behind the scenes, those people should not be willing to help you, right? Your own strength is too weak. If you want revenge, you may not be able to achieve it for decades.” In her later words, her face darkened. She had waited and waited, but in the end, she didn’t succeed.

In fact, at the beginning, she just thought that Shi Qingyang was an impulsive young man, so she didn’t plan to cooperate with Shi Qingyang. She just wanted to tell Shi Qingyang the cause of death of his parents so that he could fight the Yin Family or the Yang family.

However, after the investigation, she knew that Shi Qingyang was not so simple. Shi Qingyang asked for a lot of information from Gao, but if it weren’t for them, Gao would still have had no recollection.

“I just hope they have me in their sights so I can plan for them.” Shi Qingyang looked at the other and said, “What can you get if you cooperate with me?” Without interests, why should the other party look for him?

“You are very capable. You have a good relationship with Gu Changjin. Besides, you have set yourself up as a target. At this time, as long as you go outside the city alone, I’m afraid a group of people will follow you.” He Lan smiled.

Shi Qingyang was silent for a moment: “Happy cooperation.”

“Happy cooperation.”

When Shi Qingyang decided to cooperate with others, Yin Tiancheng was with his uncle, who had just heard from his subordinates.

Since Shi Qingyang fought with Yin Tiancheng, they specially sent people to watch Shi Qingyang. Naturally, they knew that Shi Qingyang and Gu Changjin were going out of the city today.

It would be easier to solve the problem of Shi Qingyang once he had left the city and gone to the periphery of the security zone, but it so happened that Gu Changjin was a level 5 radiant warrior… When the two went outside the city, they didn’t even dare to approach, let alone ambush.

“Tiancheng, it was uncle who did the wrong thing, but uncle can’t help it. You know, money is spent everywhere now, and you drink potions every month…” Yin Tiancheng’s uncle Yang Haitao complained to his nephew repeatedly.

The Yang family had been living an ordinary life. If it hadn’t been for Yin Tiancheng’s father, Yin Hao, marrying Yang Qiu, a woman with outstanding talent, how could they have the life they live now?

However, although the Yang family was now prosperous, their life wasn’t easy. Yin Tiancheng asked them for money all day long. Yin Hao usually didn’t want anything from them, but sometimes he spoke to them casually to get a cut of meat.

Now, the Yang family was like an aphid beast raised by an ant beast. Although they had no shortage of food and clothing, they had to take out honeydew to satisfy the Yin Family.

Yin Tiancheng was thoroughly disgusted when his uncle acted as if he’d already bestowed so much grace to him , and his face was a little ugly: “The most urgent thing now is to get rid of Shi Qingyang, or you will be unlucky when he grows up! In addition, remember not to mess with Cheng Ran and Gu Changjin, and continue to check their identities.”

“I know, I will never forget!” Yang Haitao repeatedly promised.

Yang Haitao was thinking about this and sent more people to wait outside the villa. However, to his surprise, for several days, no one came in and out of the villa. Only occasionally, someone went there to deliver things.

Yang Haitao’s men found these people, but they couldn’t ferret out anything. These people either came to deliver vegetables or medicinal herbs. Their backgrounds were clean.

However, there were only three people in the villa, but they ate so many vegetables every day… This shocked Yang Haitao, who grew scared and dared not act rashly – even he, who was so rich, did not dare to act this way.

Although the people sent by Yang Haitao were far away, Shi Qingyang once had experienced ambushing and monitoring a villa from nearby. Naturally, it was impossible for him not to notice.

But at this time, he really didn’t care about them. Now, he was busy preparing medicine every day.

Originally, Shi Qingyang intended to directly give Cheng Xuze a prescription and let Cheng Xuze find someone to try to make it and sell it. Now he wanted to use this medicine as bait and let Cheng Xuze come.

However, what Shi Qingyang remembered was just a recipe, which was not as clear as the one he had given Cheng Xuze. It was not easy to successfully prepare it. He and Cheng Ran could only test it again and again.

At the beginning, the medicine always failed for one reason or another. After dozens of attempts, the finished product was finally made.

Seeing the brown liquid in the bottle, Cheng Ran excitedly held Shi Qingyang’s hand, and soon blushed and let go.

If he hadn’t known that Shi Qingyang was in urgent need, he would have been eager to fail all the time, because Shi Qingyang was always with him when making potions.

It was said on the Internet that if you want to fall in love, you should stick together. If they stay together every day, would they be in love?

“That’s it.” Shi Qingyang took the potion that Cheng Ran had just made and tasted a bit. The taste was exactly the same as anticipated.

“That’s great!” Cheng Ran said, smiling. He spent a lot of time on this potion. He wrote two copies of his deduction notes at night. Now he had finally finished it, which gave him a great sense of achievement.

“Ranran is really awesome.” Shi Qingyang smiled. These days, he had witnessed Cheng Ran’s growth. In the past, Cheng Ran used to write down the steps of making potions through memory, but he didn’t have his own style. This time, he had been thinking about it by himself, and finally learned a lot.

The most important thing was that Cheng Ran still insisted on not telling Gu Changjin about the potion. These days, he had moved all the things he prepared on the ground floor to the third floor.

“If it’s correct this time, then I’ll always mix it accordingly like this. Qingyang, how much do you want?”

“The more of this medicine, the better, but don’t exhaust yourself.”

“Then I’ll mix it right away.” Cheng Ran was very happy. For the first time in his life, someone needed him. He would do whatever he was asked for him.

Cheng Ran increased the amount he prepared. Each time he had mixed four bottles of medicine, and in total he mixed twelve bottles of medicine.

Early the next morning, Shi Qingyang went to the gate of the city to find Shunfeng Logistics, the largest logistics company in China. He obtained a container with a refrigeration system, and sent an express delivery.

Footnotes

1 – ah furong: 阿芙蓉, previously MTLed as hibiscus. According to baidu, it is opium, but this is likely a poppy flower. Chinese wiki also said its name comes from the color of hibiscus which is why the MTL came out that way before. Not sure if I should keep calling it ah furong or just translate it as poppy flowers. [return]

2 – Hundred heads grass: 百头草, this is referring to the previously titled ‘guanzhong’. Cheng Ran uses different names for these herbs because, as Shi Qingyang said, the names Shi Qingyang knew were decided by the institute in the future. I’m just plucking the names Cheng Ran uses and directly translating each character. [return]

3 – Taiji Herb: 太极草, an actual IRL alias for the bai niuxi. [return]
