Chapter 355: Chapter 355

"That’s what I mean," An Yan nodded in agreement.

"Could this also be part of R Country’s extinction plan?"

Su Siming stood up angrily.

"Think about it! One person gets sick, and the whole family’s lifespan decreases. Who doesn’t have many relatives? Then everyone connected to them is affected. If you trace it back five hundred years, we were all one family. Does this mean the entire ethnicity’s lifespan will decrease along with them?"

"Those damn people! No wonder they’re so eager to sell this medicine in our country."

"The more people take the medicine, the closer we are to national extinction!"

Liang Chen pulled Su Siming down to sit.

"Cursing and getting angry are useless right now. What we need to consider is how to let everyone know that Revival Dan is not omnipotent!"

"Expose it directly?" Mu Enyu suggested.

"No!" Ya Zhuo said. "Exposing it directly is tantamount to advertising Revival Dan. A pill that can supposedly keep a dead person alive? That’s an Immortal Pill!"

"Don’t even mention shortening the lifespan of loved ones; many people are willing to trade their own lives for the health of their relatives."

"Go to any hospital. You’ll see how many family members of patients wish they could die in their place!"

"In matters of mutual consent, what right do others have to meddle?"

An Yan nodded. "Therefore, we cannot reveal the true nature of this medicine. Not only can we not expose it, but we also need to present actual examples to show everyone that this medicine cannot save someone who is destined to die!"

"Watanabe Isorou can be this example!" Liang Chen said.

"Right. That’s why Watanabe Isorou absolutely cannot return to R Country! Once he goes back, he can absorb the vitality of his relatives, and he has far too many of them. They chose him precisely to use him as a living advertisement!"

"But the problem now is, how do we make him stay? There are only ten days left in the competition."

"Extend the competition time," Liang Chen said. "We’ll apply to the production team to extend the competition duration to one month!"

"But will the production team agree?"

"They will!" Liang Chen said. "As long as we’re certain Watanabe Isorou won’t live past a month, the production team should agree to extend it to a month for the sake of viewership ratings."

"If they don’t agree, then we’ll just flip the table and stop playing! We’ll go hard! Sister Yan," Su Siming said, "can’t you use your brother-in-law’s connections to detain these people?"

Li Tianyao’s connections would certainly work, but...

"Flipping the table is the last resort," Liang Chen said, calming Su Siming. "If we can apply, we should definitely take the official route. It costs little and offers high returns."

"Alright, let’s do it this way!" An Yan made the decision.

Liang Chen immediately opened his computer and, with a rapid TAP-TAP-TAP, began to type a formal application.

Meanwhile, An Yan wrote the names of everyone who had taken the Resurrection Pill in the past few days on the whiteboard: Wang Jian, Jiang Runzhe, Zhang Mingliang, Watanabe Isorou, Matsumoto Mina, and her two assistants.

"Liang Chen, find a way to get the production team to agree to hand over Wang Jian, Jiang Runzhe, and Zhang Mingliang to us for treatment! No, apply to them to hand over all six patients to us!"

Liang Chen was stunned. "Huh? This... The production team might not agree, right? After all, this is a competition, Sister Yan." Read complete versıon only at N0veI.Fiɾe.net

"Even though it’s a competition, it’s also about human lives! Since we’ve clearly expressed our distrust in Revival Dan, we naturally have to consider the issue from the patients’ perspective!"

Su Siming asked, "Let’s say the production team agrees, and we also cure the patients. But how can you ensure Matsumoto Mina won’t jump out and take all the credit then?"

Mu Enyu nodded. "Exactly, Sister Yan! She might claim their medicine worked and we just went through the motions, essentially stealing their credit. And about Watanabe Isorou—you’ve already determined he’s going to die, so why should we even take him on?"

"It’s to give the other side room for negotiation," An Yan said. "If we demand all six patients, it’s like slapping them in the face; they’ll definitely fight back with all their might. Then, Watanabe Isorou will be the one they fight to get back."

"Uh... oh!" Mu Enyu nodded. Sister Yan is so impressive!

"Okay, then I’ll write the application ." Liang Chen opened his computer and began typing.

Soon, the application was sent to the production team’s email.

The directors exchanged opinions. The director from R Country was naturally unwilling. "This is too much! Just because An Yan’s team has suspicions, all the patients are to be given to her...?"

The director from Z Country immediately interjected, "What do you mean, ’giving all the patients to her’? Didn’t you hear the guest commentator’s opinion just now? Watanabe Isorou can be treated by Team R. As long as Watanabe Isorou is fine, that proves the Revival Dan is effective."

The R Country director thought for a moment and said, "...He’ll definitely be fine. He has ten pills and has only taken one. One per day from now on means he’ll finish them just as the competition ends!"

The Z Country director laughed. "What a neat plan! But the show can’t operate like that."

"The application clearly states that Student An Yan has determined Watanabe Isorou has at most one month to live. Therefore, we should extend the filming duration to one month. This will really whet the audience’s appetite and draw in significantly more traffic."

"That won’t work! This is a competition, and it was scheduled for half a month from the start. How can we just change it arbitrarily...?"

"So, Watanabe Isorou shows no problems for half a month, then he goes back to R Country with you, and then quietly dies there—just like that official who supposedly drank nuclear wastewater? After he drank it, there was no follow-up, was there?"

"What are you implying? That person is perfectly fine!"

"If he’s so fine, why don’t you let him make a public appearance? Why not let him speak to reporters? If you have nothing to hide, why keep him concealed?"

The R Country director glared furiously at the Z Country director. "That’s our country’s internal matter! You’re just a director; are you planning to meddle in our affairs?"

"Of course not. I can only call the shots here on the show. I propose extending the competition by one month! If you don’t agree, then I’ll release the recording of this discussion."

The R Country director’s face turned green with anger.

He didn’t know if there was truly a problem with the Revival Dan, but instinctively, everything An Yan said seemed well-founded and logical. On one hand, he worried that the Revival Dan genuinely had issues and wanted to end the competition early. On the other, he feared that if the Revival Dan was fine, ending the competition prematurely might actually backfire on them!

For a moment, the R Country director was stumped. He was stiff-faced, unsure of what to choose.

"How about this: we release the application," one of the other directors suggested. "It will attract some traffic, and we can also see if the guest commentators have any solutions to this problem?"

The R Country director grunted in agreement.

Three of the guest commentators are our people, after all. At such a critical moment, they’ll definitely speak up for us! Besides, once it’s announced, Miss Meina will see it too. I need to see what she thinks before I decide how to proceed.

The production team broadcast the full text of the application on the live screen in the guest commentators’ observation room.
