Chapter 103: Playing Poison With the Old Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was a silly dog at home, a 20-year-old man. She played all kinds of games with him every day and coaxed him.

Now that she was at work, an old man with gray wanted her to play with him?

Did she come to the Great Shu Dynasty to play with these ‘fake children’?

Qi Yang scoffed, “How am I affecting your work? I’m not bragging, but playing with me is definitely better than you staying here to do odd jobs!”

Liu Shimei smiled. “You can’t say that. No matter how talented a person is, it’s useless without hard work. No matter how much I know about pharmacology and toxicity, and how few patients I’ve handled, it’s just theory.”

“So, you’re staying here to accumulate experience?” Qi Yang came to this conclusion.

Liu Shimei did not nod, but she did not deny it either.

Qi Yang thought that she wanted to accumulate experience in treating patients, but in fact…

She did want to accumulate experience, but it was far from just medical experience. She also wanted to gain business experience!

In her previous life, she had never been in business. She only knew how to treat people as a doctor. However, the threshold to open a clinic in this life was much lower than in the modern world. Why did she continue to work for others instead of opening her own clinic?

However, no matter how low the threshold was, one had to have the ability to do business!

Therefore, she had to observe other people’s patterns and combine them with better ideas from the modern era. It was not difficult to surpass the private Zheng Medical Hall.

In the future, when she marries into King Dun Yu’s Residence and has an official identity, it’s not impossible for her to crush the state-run National Medical Hall!

Of course, this was all in her mind. She did not say anything to prevent others from saying that she was being whimsical.

Qi Yang was curious and playful, so he felt uncomfortable being kept in suspense. Since he was more impatient than her, he did not beat around the bush. “Miss, your name is Zhi Liu, right?”

“Yes.”

Liu Shimei thought, ‘A stage name is also a name, that’s right!’

Qi Yang nodded and asked, “Since you want to accumulate experience, I can’t stop you. However, are you interested in playing poisons with this old man? You can be a doctor, but it won’t affect us playing together, right?”

Liu Shimei chuckled.

She had hit the nail on the head!

Didn’t she like to play with drugs in her previous life? She played with poisons and drugs until she died!

She smiled. “Of course I’m interested. But the prerequisite is that we can’t let go overboard. We play with the poisons, not the other way around. Also, we can’t use the poisons on ourselves!”

This old man was so reckless that he would use poisons on himself. She could not afford to sacrifice so much!

“Alright! Then I’ll take it that you agreed to play with me!” Qi Yang said.

He continued, “I’ve observed your use of medicine. You’re indeed very proficient in pharmacology and toxicity. You can even tell that the blisters and redness on my body are all caused by poison. I think you have some experience in the area of poison. Why don’t we spar!”

“Don’t tell me you’re thinking of using poison on yourself to spar?” Liu Shimei had read some books and knew that some people who played with poison liked to go big.

If they poisoned each other, they would lose if they could not cure each other, and if they lost, they would die!

There was another method, which was to poison one’s own body and let the other party cure it. If the other party could not cure it, they could still cure themselves. At least, they would not just die so miserably.

However, the poison was always painful. How ruthless must she be to poison herself?

Fortunately, Qi Yang did not have such plans. “I’m ruthless enough to myself, but when I think of a young lady like you… It won’t be easy to do it!”

Liu Shimei did not waste any time with him and changed the topic quickly. “Elder Qi, you are my senior. I encountered a symptom earlier and I still can’t find a solution.. If you’re willing, why don’t you listen to me and see if you have any ideas?”
