C5 Ask for a Name

Seeing Shi Xiaoshan remain silent, Tang Zhishu was not in a hurry. This was not an easy decision for anyone. Even Tang Zhishu himself had once wanted to leave this isolated and mysterious base.

As a young genius in the field of Physiology and Medicine, Tang Zhisu had long received unanimous recognition from his field of expertise. He had also become one of the youngest medical professors in the entire Star Continent. With the good will to improve the constitution of her country and extend the lifespan of her country, she high-spirited came to Ganquan Prefecture, this mysterious training base, to participate in this "National Lifetime Improvement Program" sponsored by the Head of State himself, hoping to contribute her knowledge and talent to the health of her people.

As time passed, the drawbacks of the National Lifetime Improvement Program began to show up. Not only was there no breakthrough in the study of Virus X, but Tang Zhishu didn't want to see methods like forcefully erasing the memories of the people involved.

However, since he had already become a part of the training base, it was impossible for any researchers to escape. Although Tang Zhishu was a young expert who had long risen to prominence in the physiologic and medical field, there was nothing he could do about it. She wanted to leave several times, but she was still worried that "clearing her memory" would cause irreparable damage to herself. As time passed, Tang Zhisu's enthusiasm for the research plan gradually cooled down.

In order not to cause any harm to others, Tang Zhisu, one of the most outstanding physiologists in the base, had asked to study the last few people in the base. In fact, he wanted to lighten the burden on his conscience.

In general, those who were ranked last were aware that their chances of winning weren't high, so most would choose to leave after their memories were erased. Compared to the unpredictable and risky nature of the powerful virus, being erased from their memories would cause relatively less damage to their bodies.

In the eight years since they entered the training base, although every year, the last entrants would be sent to the space-time machine, no one ever returned victorious. In fact, many of the entrants died on the spot because their bodies couldn't withstand the impact of the super virus.

As time passed, Tang Zhishu began to feel more and more that the so-called "National Lifetime Improvement Program" was an impossible task. Even if someone was lucky enough to get their hands on the virus, could he really become an expert in ancient martial arts?

Two thousand years ago on the Bright Moon Continent, it was said that there were many legendary super experts. Could a young man who was vaccinated with a special virus survive in that time and space and successfully find the secrets to longevity? So what if they did find it? Could he come back?

Besides, even if he could get back this secret, the only ones who could truly benefit from this would be the mighty leader and his trusted aides, right?

As he grew older and more experienced, Tang Zhisu had long been suspicious of the Star Continent's leader. Such a dictatorial and dictatorial government leader used such a method to find the so-called secrets to longevity. Even if he did get it, would the Chief and his trusted aides really be willing to share it with the rest of the country?

"I'm willing to try."

Contrary to Tang Zhishu's expectations, Shi Xiaoling didn't even consider how long it would take for him to agree to a custom-made virus inoculation.

Tang Zhisu looked at the camera in the corner of the wall and said solemnly: "Shi Xiaoling, have you thought it through clearly? Clearing your memory may have a certain impact on your future life, but not on your health. If you inoculate the virus, your life could be in danger. "

"With your current ranking, even if your body can withstand the rejection from the virus, your chances of entering the final ten are very slim. Moreover, no one could tell what the situation was like in the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago. Even if all the elites sent out in the past had gone missing, even if you really won in the end, there might not be a good ending. What's the point of you doing this? "

Shi Xiaoling was a bit surprised and laughed, "Professor Tang, are you trying to advise me to give up? That doesn't seem to be your job, does it? When the people behind the surveillance cameras saw you telling me this, they wouldn't blame you for not doing your job well, would they? "

Tang Zhisu was clearly unhappy. He sternly said, "I'm just trying to do what I think is right within my abilities. That's all. I think it's better to think carefully about your current ranking. "You may be a fan of ancient martial arts, but forgive me for my bluntness, but your physical condition isn't too outstanding. I have seen too many elite students whose talents far surpassed yours come to a miserable end, so …"

Looking at the serious expression on Tang Zhishu's face, Shi Xiaoling felt that this Doctor Tang really was thinking for his sake and didn't underestimate him. He couldn't help but bitterly smile and say:

"Doctor Tang, you also know that I'm an ancient martial arts fanatic. Since I've been tricked into this base, it's impossible for me to escape unscathed. I only agreed to inoculate the virus to round up my martial arts dream. I don't really care if I can advance to the next stage and win. Thus, this is really my careful choice. I am not so conceited as to think that I am a genius … "

"You only think about your dreams, don't you think about how your family feels?" Tang Zhishu asked.

Shi Xiaoling calmly said, "Isn't it dangerous to choose to quit and have your memories erased? I've thought about it, I've always been a useless child, old and useless. This time, if I have the chance to fight for my dream, my family should be able to understand it. My parents are in good health, and I'm very relieved to have my elder sister by their side. I'm willing to try my martial arts dreams here. "

Seeing the resolute expression on Shi Xiaoling's face, Tang Zhishu nodded speechlessly. She had already said what she should not have said and she had also advised what she should not. Since this Shi Xiaoling was determined to try, that was his own choice.

Tang Zhisu immediately took out a contract and handed it to Shi Xiaoling, saying, "As long as you sign this contract, it will mean that you have voluntarily vaccinated yourself against the virus. You should be confident in the consequences."

After Shi Xiaoling received the contract, he signed his name without looking at it. In his mind, signing the contract or not was just a formality in this ghost base where one's personal freedom was restricted. Since he had already made up his mind, he didn't hesitate anymore.

Tang Zhisu took back the contract and told the two male nurses behind him, "Prepare to be inoculated with the first grade X virus."

The process of inoculating the virus was abnormally simple. He only gave Shi Xiaoling an injection.

Seeing the expressionless Tang Zhisu inject a small tube of blue liquid into his vein, Shi Xiaoling was filled with mixed feelings.

He came full of enthusiasm for the ancient martial arts, but found out that the so-called "National Longevity Improvement Program" was not like that at all. They were just mice that were used for experiments by the scientific research institute in the base.

Although inoculating with the virus was more dangerous than clearing one's memory, Shi Xiaoling did not care. Since he had already been cheated, he might as well fight for his dream. If he could round out his dreams of ancient martial arts, then participating in this National Life Improvement Program would be worth it.

Tang Zhishu put away the syringe and said, "From now on, you'd better rest in bed. After the virus enters your blood, it will affect your blood vessels, nervous system, organs, and even your cell tissues. If you don't feel any discomfort within 24 hours, you can move normally."

"We will test and monitor your various physiological parameters according to your random reaction time. If everything goes well after ten days, we will continue to inoculate you with the level two virus." With that, Tang Zhishu packed up his stuff and left with the two male nurses.

Shi Xiaoling said to Tang Zhisu, who had walked to the door, "Thank you, Dr. Tang."

"Thank me?"

Tang Zhishu smirked and said, "Thank me for what?" Perhaps by this time tomorrow, you will already be dead.

Shi Xiaoling, who was still sitting in front of the table, shook his head and said, "Thank you for persuading me to give up just now. I can tell that Doctor Tang is doing this for my own good. Also, even if I die, I chose it myself, it has nothing to do with you. To be able to speak so much to a beautiful doctor like you before his death is a rare feat for a man in a big house like me. By the way, Dr. Tang, can you tell me your name? "

Tang Zhishu was stunned. She looked at Shi Xiaoling who was still sitting in front of the table. His face was full of fervent expectation. It was obvious that every word he said was from the bottom of his heart.

Tang Zhisu's cold face turned red for some reason. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "My name is Tang Zhisu. Hmm …" Good luck. " With that, he pushed the door open and left.

"Tang Zhishu? "What a beautiful name …"

Shi Xiaoling was very happy. Although he had been in this training base for more than a hundred days, he had never had much contact with this beautiful doctor. Just now, he suddenly gathered his courage and asked her about her name.

"So what if I know her name?" Shi Xiaoling smiled as he laid down on his bed.

"No matter what, even if I'm about to die, it would be a good thing to hear Doctor Tang's name before he dies …"

After tossing and turning for the better part of the night, Shi Xiaoling was already sleepy. He muttered Tang Zhishu's name and quickly fell asleep.

When Shi Xiaoling woke up, it was already noon of the second day. He carefully recalled last night's situation and recalled the small tube of blue liquid that was injected into his vein. He could not help but feel his heart tighten.

He tried to lie down on the bed and took a few deep breaths. He felt normal, as if nothing had happened to his body.

Shi Xiaoling got up from the bed and stretched his body in his room. Feeling that he was abnormally full of energy, he practiced the fighting technique that he had always practiced. When he finished practicing the fighting technique, his body would be safe and sound.

Shi Xiaoling was overjoyed. He thought that this blue coloured virus was only at the elementary level and didn't have any effect on his strong physique. He wondered if it would be able to help him practice his ancient martial arts.

When he saw that it was almost noon, he hurried out of his room to attend the routine training courses.
