Chapter 848 This Is a Groundbreaking Book!
“Whoosh…”
Just when everyone was feeling shocked that Fang Qiu’s prediction came true, the scene on the TV screen suddenly changed o the sky above the uninhabited island.
At this moment, the sky was no longer as clear as it was in the daytime. It had completely darkened. Dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and the wind was whistling and wandering wildly between heaven and earth.
It looked like that a storm was coming.
Due to the depressing atmosphere and the fact that the people on the island had no rain gear or shelter, the audience couldn’t help feeling worried.
Just then.
With a sudden flash of lightning tearing through the rolling dark clouds, the screen went black.
The ending song rang out just when the audience wondered if something went wrong.
“d.a.m.n it!”
The audience was dumbfounded.
“It’s not over, isn’t it?”
“They said that there would be only one episode. Now it comes to the third episode. What’s wrong with the show? Where is the treasure? Where is it?”
“The crew are being funny. Can’t they just compress it? Although there is nothing to complain about in this episode, there are some inappropriate parts that they should have deleted. Why did they keep them in the episode?”
“Two episodes have been broadcast, but I haven’t seen the f**king treasure yet.”
“It’s treasure worth several billion! How could it go missing just because of the rain?”
The audience was annoyed.
However, everyone knew that there was no problem with the editing of this episode.
Although the time span of an episode of the show was usually three days and two nights, there were too many contents in the show involving Fang Qiu. Thus, it had to be divided into more than two episodes. However, it was uncertain whether the contents were enough to be edited into three episodes.
The audience was angry.
But they were still staring at the TV screen fixedly.
They were surprised to find that there was a preview of the next episode at the end of this one.
In the preview.
There was a heavy rain, mysterious characters left by the people of the Ming Dynasty, countless bats that soared into the sky, and deep dark caves.
In the end.
It was a scene in which a group of people looked dumbfounded at the entrance of a bright cave with sun s.h.i.+ninginto it through a crack.
The view on the screen changed.
The audience saw a huge black python holding its head high and a few tattered wooden boxes.
A scene of a person fighting with the python flashed by!
The audience was all shocked when they watched the preview.
“There really is treasure!”
“That huge python looks so scary. Is it venomous?”
“Could it be possible that the person fighting with the python is Fang Qiu?”
“Fang Qiu has killed a shark. Is he going to kill a python next? He is awesome!”
“That python is so big. Can it swallow a human being?”
“What about the treasure? I haven’t seen it yet. Are those shabby boxes the treasure worth several billion? Are they kidding me?”
For a while…
There were all kinds of heated discussions.
At the same time.
The rating of the second episode was revealed.
It was even higher than the rating of the last episode and reached 7.5%!
Such a high rating amazed all of the people in the circle of variety shows.
At first, everyone thought that 7% was extremely high, but unexpectedly, the rating of the second episode was much higher than that.
It was simply amazing.
The most amazing thing was that there was a third episode of the show.
From the first episode to the second episode, the ratings of the show increased by 0.5%. According to the preview of the third episode, it would definitely be more exciting than the second one. That was to say, it was likely that the rating of the third episode would increase.
At the thought of this…
The production crews of the major TV stations didn’t dare to think further about it. Their shows had been suppressed for two weeks in a row. The ratings of their shows were only about 0.5% in the first week and even lower in this week.
Under such circ.u.mstances, the variety show teams of the major TV stations were scared and began to inquire each other to see if anyone had signed a contract with Fang Qiu.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they found that no station had managed to sign a contract with Fang Qiu.
After all, in their eyes.
If a particular TV station didn’t sign a contract with Fang Qiu and the other ones didn’t do that either, it would be a tie between them. If any other TV production team managed to do it, the station would suffer again.
On the other side.
After seeing the increased rating of the show, all the members of the Run Wild&Survive production team of JZ TV got extremely excited, and they were more motivated to make the third episode!
Of course.
Fang Qiu was completely unaware of all this.
In the morning of the day following the date on which the second episode was aired, Fang Qiu quickly finished his writing and rushed out of the library. He went to the pharmacies outside the school one by one and then visited them again from the first pharmacy to the last one. He collected the boiled medicines and then returned to the dormitory.
“Hiss…”
After taking a deep breath, Fang Qiu summoned up his courage and began to test the medicines.
He drank them one by one.
These medicines were not pleasant to drink, but he had to bear it.
In order to write the book, he had no choice but to do so.
It might take about half an hour for other medicines to take effect, but in order to speed up the test, Fang Qiu directly used his internal Qi to catalyze these medicines so that they could take effect more quickly. In fact, his ultimate purpose was to observe the effects of these medicines inside his body.
Just like that.
He kept testing.
Two days later, Fang Qiu was almost exhausted from testing the medicines, and he walked out of the dormitory again and went to the library.
Xu Miaolin, who had not seen Fang Qiu for two days, felt curious and thought that Fang Qiu’s interest in writing books would be a pa.s.sing fad.
However, while he was wondering, Fang Qiu suddenly appeared in the library.
He saw Fang Qiu again.
Seeing his haggard face, Xu Miaolin hurried over to show his concern. “Are you alright? Why do you look so pale? You look worse than those who have suffered for three days and nights in the hospital. What have you done?”
“I took too many medicines,” Fang Qiu said.
Xu Miaolin immediately understood that Fang Qiu was testing the medicines with his own body.
“Why did you test the medicines so recklessly?”
Xu Miaolin rolled his eyes at Fang Qiu.
However, he did not say much.
After all, how could a Chinese Medicine pract.i.tioner not test the medicines himself?
It was common that one got sick from drinking medicines for the purpose of testing them.
Fang Qiu could only give a wry smile after seeing Xu Miaolin’s reaction.
He thought to himself, “Why don’t you try one hundred medicine formulas within two days?”
Fang Qiu walked into the library, struggling to hold on, and began to draw pictures like crazy.
Finally.
Five days later.
He finished writing.
He printed his writing in the printing shop of the library, inserted the copies of his drawings, arranged the papers neatly, and then bound the sheets together with a stapler.
“It’s finally done.”
Fang Qiu heaved a sigh of relief and began to flip through the book he wrote.
He read all pages of it.
“Well, it’s not bad.”
He nodded with satisfaction and felt a sense of accomplishment.
He wrote this book in his own way. From his point of view, it was perfect.
His own opinion was not that important, and what mattered most was other people’s opinion. After all, he wrote this book to promote traditional Chinese Medicine. To achieve this purpose, the first thing he needed to do was to make the readers interested in reading the book. Otherwise, if the readers did not even want to buy it, there would be no way for him to promote traditional Chinese Medicine through the book.
“Should I find someone to read it first?”
Fang Qiu thought for a while and realized that almost no people he knew were in school, so he planned to ask Xu Miaolin to do it.
As a highly skilled doctor, he had some keen insight.
If he couldn’t understand the book, there would be no way for others to understand it.
“Mr. Xu.”
After entering the reading room, Fang Qiu handed the newly bound book to Xu Miaolin and said, “I’ve finished writing this book. Would you like to read it?”
“Oh, you’ve finished it.”
Xu Miaolin said in surprise, “You wrote it pretty fast!”
“Yes.”
Fang Qiu nodded.
“I thought it was just a pa.s.sing fad. I didn’t expect that you managed to make it.”
Xu Miaolin chuckled and said, “Then I’ll read it to see if you will let me down.”
Having said that, he took the book and started to read it.
He opened the book and read the first page.
Just then, he raised his head and glanced at Fang Qiu in shock. After that, he continued to read the next page and just could not stop reading.
After reading for several hours, he finally stopped, still wis.h.i.+ng to continue reading.
“Whew…”
He took a deep breath and looked up at Fang Qiu, who was flipping through a medicine book. Overcome with emotion, he said, “This is… a groundbreaking book of modern Chinese Medicine!”
Fang Qiu froze for a moment. He didn’t expect that Xu Miaolin would think so highly of this book!
“I’m flattered, Mr. Xu.”
“I mean it.”
Xu Miaolin shook his head, feeling deeply touched, and then he said, “At first, I was very curious about what kind of book you would write. I didn’t expect that you would give me such a big surprise. If I had come across such a book earlier, I would have become a holy doctor by now!”
Upon hearing those words, Fang Qiu was also shocked.
He didn’t expect that Xu Miaolin would think so highly of it!
“A holy doctor!”
“How could that be possible?”
“It is just a book!”
“What?”
Xu Miaolin cast a glance at Fang Qiu and said, “It seems that you are not aware of the value of the book you wrote.”
“Forget it. It’s okay that you don’t know that. Hurry up and print it. I’ll send a copy of the book to my father-in-law and laugh at him. I will tell him that my student wrote this book, haha!”
At this point, Xu Miaolin couldn’t help laughing.
“Okay, I’ll do it as soon as possible.”
Fang Qiu answered as he reached out his hand to get the book back from Xu Miaolin.
“What are you doing?”
Seeing Fang Qiu holding out his hand, Xu Miaolin immediately tightened his grip on the book and said, “I’ll keep the book and go on reading it. You have the original copy anyway, so you can print another one.”
Fang Qiu felt helpless.
He gave a wry smile and went to print another copy with his laptop and drawings.
Fang Qiu walked away.
Xu Miaolin looked at the book in his hand, took a deep breath, and said, “This brat is going to overwhelm the Chinese Medicine community. I’m looking forward to the day when this book is published.”
“Fang Qiu, do you know? Even I have seen the way to become a holy doctor in your book, let alone others!”
Fang Qiu printed another copy of his book, arranged it neatly, booked a flight to the capital, and headed towards the Complex Characters Culture Publis.h.i.+ng Company.
This time, Fang Qiu was familiar with the procedure.
Therefore, he didn’t inform Zhang Xingjie, the manager of the company. Instead, he went straight to the third floor wearing a mask and walked towards the manager’s office.
Along the way, he attracted attention from many suspicious eyes.
As soon as he took off his mask, the look in these eyes immediately changed, and no one came to stop him.
Everyone was curious about what he came here for this time because he had paid a visit two weeks ago.
Fang Qiu came to the manager’s office.
“Eh?”
Sitting at his desk, Zhang Xingjie froze for a moment when he saw Fang Qiu. Then he quickly stood up and said, “What are you doing here? It will take two more days to complete the printing of your books.”
