Chapter 304 The Cold Marshal Is Not Cold 18

Chao Yao had a month's rest after participating in the semi-finals, so she decided to return to the residence she shared with Ye Fufeng.

As soon as she got home, she rushed into the laboratory, staring at the potion she had made earlier with a frown, and fell into deep thought.

Knowing that Chao Yao had returned home, Ye Fufeng no longer lived in the legion.

As soon as he got home, he saw Chaoyao concentrating, so he walked gently to her side, hugged her from behind, and said softly: "Yaoyao, are you still worried about the potion?"

Without even looking up, Chao Yao replied, "Well, if this defect is not resolved, I will not be confident in the finals."

Ye Fufeng held her shoulders, turned her body around to face him, and said, "Don't worry too much, let's think of a solution together. I have also encountered some similar problems in the army, and maybe I can give you some ideas."

It would certainly be better to have his help.

As for a boyfriend, it’s a waste if you don’t use him.

Chao Yao raised his head, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes: "Really? Tell me quickly."

Ye Fufeng pulled a chair over and sat down, saying seriously: "When we encounter complex situations during missions, we first conduct a comprehensive analysis to find the key to the problem. Where do you think the main flaw of this medicine lies?"

Chao Yao bit her lip, lowered her head slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "I think the ratio of the ingredients is not accurate enough, and there may also be deviations in the temperature control."

Ye Fufeng nodded and took Chao Yao's hand: "Then we can start with these two points and conduct multiple experiments and adjustments. By the way, I can use the resources of the legion to help you obtain some more advanced experimental equipment and rare materials."

Is this considered abusing public power for personal gain?

Chao Yao hesitated for a moment and gently pulled back his hand: "Would this be a bad idea? I don't want to cause you any trouble because of my affairs."

Ye Fufeng smiled and held her hand again, comforting her: "Yaoyao, don't worry. There are some idle advanced equipment in the army with excellent performance, which just suits your experimental needs. I have communicated with the relevant person in charge, and they agreed to lend it to us temporarily."

"Really? But wouldn't this violate the rules?" Chao Yao was a little surprised.

Ye Fufeng patted her hand gently and said, "Don't worry. I applied for the permit on the grounds that my research on new medicines would be helpful for the future medical care of the army. Everything is in accordance with the procedures. In order to find those rare materials, I also asked many comrades to help me find out."

Ye Fufeng took out a small notebook with the sources and acquisition methods of various materials densely written on it: "Look, a senior collector has a small amount of these rare materials in stock, and I have already negotiated the terms with him. There are also these types, although it is a bit difficult to obtain, but I have arranged reliable people to look for them."

Looking at these densely packed things, Chao Yao was so moved that her eyes turned red: "Fufeng, you have done so much for me."

Ye Fufeng held her in his arms: "For you, everything is worth it."

In the next few days, Ye Fufeng personally led people to transport the experimental equipment, and was busy installing and debugging the equipment to ensure its normal operation.

Those rare materials were also sent to Chao Yao's laboratory one after another, and each piece of material was strictly checked by Ye Fufeng.

Chao Yao devoted himself to the experiment, and the two worked closely together to make the final sprint for the final.

After a period of intensive experiments and repeated debugging, Chao Yao discovered that although those advanced experimental equipment and rare materials could improve the quality of the medicine, they could not fundamentally solve the problem of medicine defects.

Chao Yao fell into deeper thought and began to re-examine her previous thoughts.

After another failed experiment, Chao Yao leaned tiredly on the chair in the laboratory, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over some common materials in the corner.

A bold idea emerged in her mind: perhaps she could try to use common substitutes to solve the problem of ingredient ratio and temperature control.

Chao Yao immediately started preparing for a new experiment.

She carefully selected several common but stable materials, carefully calculated their proportions, and adjusted the parameters of temperature control.

The results of the first experiment were not ideal, as the medicine precipitated.

Chao Yao was not discouraged. He carefully analyzed the data and adjusted the plan again.

In the second experiment, the stability of the drug was improved to a certain extent, but it still did not achieve the expected effect.

Ye Fufeng felt distressed when he saw Chao Yao trying again and again, but he knew that Chao Yao would not give up easily.

After countless improvements and attempts, Chaoyao finally found the best formula and temperature control method.

When the new drug showed a perfect state in the experimental vessel, Chao Yao jumped up excitedly. She ran to Ye Fufeng, hugged his neck tightly with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Fufeng, it succeeded! It really succeeded!"

Ye Fufeng was infected by her enthusiasm, put his arms around her waist, and said with a smile: "I know my Yaoyao is the best!"

Chao Yao's face flushed with excitement. She looked directly into Ye Fufeng's eyes and said with a trembling voice: "This is all thanks to you for always being by my side and supporting me. I love you, Fufeng."

She seldom expressed her love like this, and as far as she could remember, she had never said she loved him.

Ye Fufeng's eyes became hot. He lowered his head, put his lips gently close to Chao Yao's ear, and whispered, "Yao Yao, I love you too, madly."

Perhaps it was because the look in his eyes was too passionate, Chao Yao slightly raised her head, and Ye Fufeng kissed her lips. The two of them were immersed in this sweet moment, as if time had stopped.

After a long while, Ye Fufeng let go of Chaoyao, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Yaoyao, you will definitely shine in this final."

Chao Yao's eyes sparkled as she said coquettishly, "As long as you are here, I am not afraid of anything."

The two smiled at each other, preparing for the upcoming finals with great anticipation.

A month passed in a flash, and the day of the final finally arrived.

On the south square of the school, a row of silvery-white aircraft with smooth lines are neatly arranged, their shells gleaming with a cold metallic luster under the sunlight.

The contestants, wearing protective gear made of nanomaterials and carrying fully functional smart backpacks, gathered here with nervous and expectant expressions.

The team leader stood excitedly in front of everyone, with detailed information about Lingyun Star displayed on the virtual screen next to him.

He said loudly: "Students, this final will be held on the mysterious Lingyun Star, a place full of unknowns and challenges. I want to tell you in particular that in order to ensure your safety, the First Legion of the Interstellar Alliance will escort you! However, if you choose to call for help when you encounter danger, it means giving up the game! So, everyone must make a careful decision!"

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, a low murmur of discussion suddenly arose among the crowd.

When Chao Yao heard the news, her heart moved slightly. She knew that Ye Fufeng was in the First Legion, but her expression remained calm, with only a hint of imperceptible relief flashing in her eyes.

The teacher glanced at each contestant and continued, "This final is designed to fully test your innovative abilities and your ability to deal with complex situations. You will be accurately dropped into different areas of Lingyun Star by advanced airdrop equipment."

"Remember, the basic tools you carry with you and the resources you obtain on the planet are the key to your success. Make advanced potions with specific effects within the specified time."

"During this period, you may encounter extremely bad weather, such as purple energy storms; you may encounter extremely ferocious beasts whose attack power is beyond imagination; you may also face the dilemma of scarce materials. But this is a challenge, and it is a stage for you to show yourself."

Qiu Shimiao stood aside, with his hands folded across his chest, his lips raised, and said with a hint of disdain: "Hmph, what is there to be afraid of? I will definitely win the championship, and some people just wait and see." As he said that, he glanced at Chao Yao provocatively.

Chao Yao had a calm expression, her eyes firm and clear, and she responded calmly: "The competition depends on strength, not on eloquence."

Afterwards, everyone boarded the aircraft in an orderly manner.

Inside the aircraft, the futuristic light blue console was flashing a soft light, and data was scrolling rapidly on the transparent screen.

Qiu Shimiao sat in his seat, fiddling with his high-tech tools, muttering to himself, "This time the championship must be mine, no one else can take it away from me."

Chao Yao sat quietly aside, closed his eyes, and constantly reviewed the previous preparations and possible situations in his mind, silently planning a response strategy in his heart.

Finally, the aircraft arrived above Lingyun Star.

Blue airdrop lights flashed by, and the contestants were accurately dropped into the designated areas one by one by advanced airdrop devices.

The moment Chao Yao was airdropped, a layer of light blue energy shield unfolded around her body, ensuring that she fell steadily in the air.

She adjusted her posture, passed through layers of clouds and mist, and landed smoothly in a lush forest.

After landing, Chao Yao quickly activated the smart bracelet on his wrist to scan and analyze the surrounding environment.

The tall trees around reached into the sky, and the strange plants emitted a mysterious purple light.

Before she could take a few steps, she heard a terrified cry for help not far away.

"Help! Help!" The voice was filled with extreme fear and despair, and it seemed particularly abrupt in the silent forest.

Chao Yao's heart tightened and he became alert instantly.

She stopped and listened carefully to the direction where the sound came from.

The cries for help were intermittent, accompanied by the sounds of branches breaking and heavy objects hitting the ground, and it seemed that the situation was very critical.

Chao Yao didn't hesitate at all and ran quickly towards the direction of the sound.

She was agile and nimble, moving swiftly through the dense woods, avoiding the branches and thorns that grew everywhere.
