The contestants picked their rooms and unpacked their luggage. Despite Paintaker's continued
refusals, Matthew kept insisting on giving him a new set of clothes and shoes. In the end, the monk
accepted the gift.
"My, my. How handsome," said Lola.
Paintaker blushed.
Since the other contestants from the hidden sects would only arrive in the afternoon or even the next
day, the three of them met up in a consultation room and held a discussion. It was mostly about all the
complex diseases they ran into during their work.
Lola was a smart woman to start with. On top of that, she came from a powerful organization that could
provide her with all the medical books she wanted. Paintaker came from a monastery and went on a
pilgrimage for three years. He had a lot of practical experience. As for Matthew, he had all of
Christopher's knowledge and skills. He combined that with the experience these contestants had and
came up with a lot of ways to deal with the more complex diseases. Everyone had their own strengths
and skills. Thanks to this discussion, these talented doctors gained a lot of new knowledge.
"I've heard that you created something called Reconstruction Pill, Mr. Larson. I have been looking
forward to having a look. If it's possible, can you explain how the pill works?"
Paintaker started his career in medicine at a young age. Despite his years of experience in this field, he
still had no idea how to cure cancer completely. Now that he finally met someone who could cure three
types of cancer, he got excited and wanted to know how the pill did that. If I can figure out how the pill
works, I might be able to figure out how to deal with other kinds of cancer. This is going to be great for
everyone. However, right after he asked the question, Paintaker realized it was inappropriate. Asking
how a doctor's exclusive recipe worked was a taboo, after all. He quickly said, "Ah, apologies, Mr.
Larson. Forget I ever asked."
Matthew would have smacked anyone else on the head if they had asked that question, but he
wouldn't do that to Paintaker. He respected the monk deeply. This question was only asked because he
wished to save more people. Everything he did, he did for the people. "It is alright. Our job is to save as
many people as we can. Give me a moment, if you will."
Lola too was curious about how the Reconstruction Pill worked too, naturally, yet she was surprised the
monk would blurt the question out. She was even more surprised that Matthew was willing to give them
an explanation.
Matthew took a diagram that drew out all the acupoints in the human body and grabbed some herbs
from Renew Pharmaceuticals. When he came back, Lola and Paintaker were already sitting up straight
like a student. "Calm down. This is just a sharing session. Don't make it look like a lecture."
His advice didn't work. Instead, Lola and Paintaker looked even more serious. Well. Matthew shrugged
and said nothing more.
"The Reconstruction Pill can cure three types of cancer—stomach, liver, and lung cancer. As you might
have realized, these are all related to the major internal organs…"
Matthew pointed at the diagram and explained the reasons that would trigger the cancer, then he
whipped out Reconstruction Pill's formula and explained how they worked against the disease. Next,
he shared his suggestions and concluded his class. "That's how this formula works." He then took out
two bottles and placed them in front of Lola and Paintaker. "This is the pill. You can experiment with it. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Come to me if you have any questions. Until the competition begins, that is. Don't blame me if your
experiment affects your preparation."
Lola and Paintaker ignored the joke and got even more serious than ever. Then, both of them stood up
and bowed deeply at Matthew like he was their teacher. "Thank you, Mr. Larson."
