Every day is one step closer to reality

The atmosphere in the car was broken by this sudden "goo".

Xiao Ding looked at Feng Yi's face through the rearview mirror. He looked okay and said, "Boss, Director He called you when you were in there just now. Check to see if he has left you a message. Or call me back?"

"Um."

Feng Yi responded, but he didn't rush to check the phone. If it was an emergency, Director He would tell him clearly.

Xiao Bing skillfully dug out food from a small storage box in the car. They were jerky or biscuits made by Xiao B himself. Before each trip, the housekeeper would put some in the car.

After eating something to relieve his hunger, Feng Yi looked through the chat messages on his phone, read Director He's message, and called Director He back.

Director He only told Feng Yi two things. First, Feng Yi was promoted from temporary consultant to formal consultant and was selected as a formal member of the expert committee. In other words, Feng Yi had the right to speak on some relevant important matters.

This is what Feng Yi told the old man. Experts of this level are protected by the Joint Security Bureau. Once anything happens, the Joint Security Bureau will investigate to the end.

Talents are rare, and professional and gifted talents are even rarer.

The second thing is the opening of the new Yangcheng Natural History Museum on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Director He had a tight schedule, so the issue of the certificate to Feng Yi was also scheduled on that day. Director He had to leave after attending the museum activities.

After talking to Director He, Feng Yi looked at the scenery outside the car window, turned on his mobile phone to search, and then said to Xiao Jia: "Let's go have a meal first."

One of Bai Lu's restaurants was nearby, and Feng Yi asked Xiao Jia to drive there.

When he got to the place, Feng Yi originally planned to put on his sunglasses before getting off the car. He was now somewhat famous on the Internet, and it would be more troublesome if he was recognized. He was not in a good mood today, and he couldn't bear to deal with this.

But when putting on the sunglasses, Feng Yi remembered something again, so he took off the sunglasses. There is also a new pair of plain glasses in the mirror case, which I can wear instead.

Sunglasses are so iconic that they are easily recognized, and if you wear them when you go to a restaurant to eat, it will have the opposite effect no matter how you look.

His outfit today is different from usual, and it is also different from many photos posted on the Internet. He looks more like a business person, and he will not directly correspond to Internet celebrities such as "Snake Brother" and "Python King".

It's not the peak dining period, but you still have to wait for a table. Business at Bailu's branches has been very good.

There are no reservations or private rooms, but there aren't many people waiting to be seated, so you don't have to wait too long.

Among the people waiting to be seated, Feng Yi saw an acquaintance.

"Tang Kui?"

The time Mo Xiaoguang and Bai Lu asked them to go fishing, they went to Tang Kui's snake farm and took away two native chickens. The two chickens were eventually poisoned by Feng Yi.

Feng Yi consulted Tang Kui's breeding farm when buying a snake venom drying machine.

Tang Kui was checking his cell phone just now when he heard someone calling him. He looked up, confused, excited and a little unsure.

"Feng...yi?"

The last word was spoken silently.

Tang Kui also knew that Feng Yi was an Internet celebrity recently, so he didn't shout out directly.

However, he didn't recognize Feng Yi's outfit today. If Feng Yi hadn't called him, he wouldn't have dared to recognize him. It's too serious and formal, like you've just finished talking about business or attended an important meeting. It's different from your usual style, and it's not the way you look online.

"Alone?" Feng Yi asked.

"Ah." Tang Kui responded.

"Then the four of us will go together."

"Okay!" Tang Kui was also happy.

It was just right to share a table. He felt bored eating alone, so he could talk to Feng Yi for a while!

Tang Kui came here to do some errands and visit a few partners. It was almost dinner time and he was too embarrassed to stay at other people's homes. After all, they also had guests at home. Passing by, I saw Bai Lu's restaurant and came over directly. I didn't expect to meet Feng Yi here.

Tang Kui thought: I am so lucky today!

After all, the person in front of me is not just an Internet celebrity, he is a real and certified expert!

They quickly queued up and sat down at a table for four. The waiter brought a pot of tea and Xiao Ding poured a cup for each of them.

After ordering the meal, Feng Yi and Tang Kui chatted about the snake farm. Xiao Ding and Xiao Jia did not disturb them.

Although it was not a private room, there were some decorative partitions around it. Everyone on the table was either eating enthusiastically or talking enthusiastically, and no one was specifically staring at them, and ordinary chatter would not attract attention.

"Bai Lu is not here today, he is busy at another branch." Tang Kui sent a message to Bai Lu while waiting for a table, so he knew what Bai Lu was busy with.

"Brother Yi, did you go to discuss business just now?" Tang Kui asked casually.

"Well, that's right." Feng Yi said.

"You look like a business elite, I almost don't dare to recognize you, hehe."

Tang Kui didn't ask why Feng Yi was going so officially, but said: "I have been following the python hunting activities in Florida, but after you quit midway, I didn't have much interest."

He really wanted to hear Feng Yi talk about the situation of catching the giant python, but it was difficult to say much at this time.

"We'll make an appointment for dinner then. Let's see which branch of Bai Lu's family can make an appointment for a private room, and let's talk about it. Or go directly to my breeding farm. Anyway, the place is remote and empty, and there's no one else. You can just say whatever you want. The whole buffet barbecue and stuff like that…”

"That's okay. Bai Lu probably won't have time until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. His business is so booming that he probably won't be able to spare much time."

Feng Yi was somewhat interested in Tang Kui's snake farm. Although he had no intention of running such a farm, he was also interested in learning more about it, especially about snake venom.

When eating out, Feng Yi was more restrained and didn't eat much. He also chatted with Tang Kui about the sales of snake venom in the farm.

It was rare to meet Feng Yi here. Tang Kui wanted to make friends with him. Seeing that Feng Yi was interested in these things, he also talked more.

He talked about the business of his small factory. A few years ago, he sent a batch of dry snake venom powder to the pharmaceutical factories and laboratories he cooperated with, and the sales were very good. He also said that some of the research results related to snake venom that have been published are not particularly big or influential results, but for farmers like them, if there is research value, there will be business, which is a good thing.

Feng Yi couldn't see it on his face, but he was analyzing what Tang Kui said in his heart.

Snake venom is strictly controlled, and manufacturers or laboratories will not easily use snake venom from unknown sources.

So here comes the question, what is the method Xiao Wu mentioned for dealing with venom?

The venom is collected, where to send it?

Feng Yi was eating in the restaurant while listening to Tang Kui talk about the whereabouts of snake venom.

The old house of the Feng family in Yangcheng.

Mr. Feng was so angry that he smashed a teapot.

He also guessed where Feng Yi was going in a hurry and whether there was any secret, so he specially sent someone to follow him. Unexpectedly, the kid ran away to eat!

He didn't think Feng Yi and Tang Kui were discussing anything important inside, so he just let people continue to follow them.

Then, they learned that Feng Yi went back to Lu Hai's house directly after dinner.

Feng Yi knew that someone was following him, and he also guessed that it might be the old man who asked someone to follow him, so he didn't care. He just followed if he wanted to. Anyway, there was nothing shameful about him outside.

When I got home, the following eyes disappeared.

Feng Yi had a big meal and when he was satisfied, he went to see Dr. Xiao Wu.

The more he talked to Tang Kui, the clearer he became that it was difficult to deal with venom that could not be explained.

Feng Yi was quite curious, how could his venom be converted into money?

Also, my aunt also has fangs, so where did her venom go?

In peaceful times, it is really difficult to maximize the value of these venoms without exposing one's secrets.

I can't find any useful information online at all.

Regarding this, he had asked Dr. Xiao Wu before, but Dr. Xiao Wu didn't say much. He only said that if Feng Yi also had such a choice, he would tell the truth.

I didn't mention it during this period because Dr. Xiao Wu was still studying Feng Yi's enhanced venom. He didn't do too much research, just to see if he could choose the same path as his aunt.

"Have you got any results from the venom research?" Feng Yi asked.

"Um."

Dr. Xiaowu rarely looked serious. He pondered for a moment and then said, "It does have quite high research value, and it may also bring you countless wealth, but!"

Xiao Wu looked directly into Feng Yi's eyes, "I still hope you can consider it carefully!"

Feng Yi frowned, puzzled: "Is it hard to explain the source?"

"No, this is not a problem, a professional team will handle it!"

"Professional team?" Feng Yi perked up.

He knew that dealing with this kind of thing couldn't be easily solved by a single person or a few people, at least a team was needed!

"Put the team aside for now. What I hope you know is that once you make a choice, it won't involve one or a few people!" Dr. Xiaowu was extremely serious, without any hint of joking.

"Tell me carefully." Feng Yi felt a little nervous.

"You can think of the team behind this as a huge processing machine, and you are the only supplier of raw materials. Once the 'machine' is started, it cannot be stopped easily, and then it will transform these venoms into other precious The research materials are then related to the livelihoods of thousands of people, their careers, dreams, reputations, and wealth, involving hundreds of millions of fund changes every year, and continuous research time that may last for decades. In other words, Once you decide to put venom into this 'machine' now, you'd better not cut off your supply for decades to come, probably until the moment of your death."

Feng Yi tried hard to understand Xiao Wu's words, "So, the team behind it is actually a 'processing factory' that transforms venom that is inconvenient to be disclosed to the public into other things that can be made public, and then transports these substances to others to become A research goal for more people?”

Venom → processed into other substances → other people’s experimental materials

It sounds simple, but Feng Yi understands that the team behind it is definitely not simple!

"The team behind this, this 'machine' you are talking about, are all our own people?" Feng Yi asked.

"The 'machine' is just a machine. They won't know anything else. However, the ones who control the 'machine' are their own people."

Feng Yi was quite satisfied with this. The fewer people who know the secret, the better, such as a big team. If there are too many people, he will have to worry about the secret being leaked.

"If I choose this path, will I have to provide enough venom every day?" Feng Yi had to ask clearly.

"It doesn't have to be provided every day, as long as it is always available. After obtaining the functional fragments, a large amount of functional substances can be produced through amplification, purification and production technology. However, due to some limitations, to ensure the integrity of the functional fragments, a constant supply of raw materials is required supply.

"Perhaps certain research peak periods require increased supply, during which you may have a certain amount of pressure and burden. Not everyone is willing to bear this kind of responsibility and pressure. After all, you could have been a wealthy and idle person with no responsibilities. It's easier that way," Xiao Wu said.

Feng Yi listened to these words and understood what Xiao Wu meant. Xiaowu is emphasizing the sense of responsibility.

"Mandatory? What if I don't provide so much venom during the peak period you mentioned?" Feng Yi asked.

"Of course it's not mandatory. It's up to you whether to provide it or not. Of course, cutting off the supply won't have much impact on you, it's just a matter of making less money. It's not necessarily the case for other people. You know, what might be the consequences of cutting off the supply of core materials? Such consequences."

“Will those studies have a negative impact on society?”

"It's hard to say for sure when studying this kind of thing. However, taking the late Ms. Feng as an example, the venom she provided has led to many breakthrough research results in the daily chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Up to now, many functional types in the venom have been Proteins haven’t been thoroughly studied yet.”

Feng Yi nodded: "I understand, the 'machine' is mine, which means I study myself, and then, in general, it benefits society? At the same time, I can also make a profit?"

"You can say that too."

Feng Yi got the result he wanted, "If it really works, the venom is gold!"

Xiao Wu corrected: "You can't say that. It can be exchanged for countless golds, but gold may not necessarily be exchanged for it."

Feng Yi understood that this means that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!

The level of strength suddenly rose!

Having said that, I feel a little proud.

He never thought that venom could be so valuable!

However, these are just Xiaowu's claims and have not been confirmed.

"When can I see the 'Processing Machine'?" Feng Yi asked.

"After you've thought about it carefully."

Xiao Wu asked Feng Yi to consider carefully before choosing, and give the answer after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. He didn't want Feng Yi to make a hasty decision.

He hoped that Feng Yi could take responsibility instead of just making a fortune and running away.

After talking to Xiao Wu, Feng Yi returned upstairs from the laboratory and walked to the bathroom.

Looking at the two big white teeth in the mirror, he flicked them with his fingers.

"Be upbeat!"
