Chapter 96

Translator: StaringAtAStar

Lu Xiufan took Shang Ke all over the villa for a tour, the villa and the mansion's styles weren't that different, the surprising fact was that a laboratory was currently under construction at the villa, mainly to research drugs, diseases, medical equipment, and other projects, including the mental virus, which has plagued humanity for hundreds of years. Originally, this project had been put on hold for ages, but Lu Xiufan recently restarted the project.

He'd brought Shang Ke to this villa partially for better recuperation, but also in order to try curing him of the side effects from the surgery.

When Shang Ke saw the laboratory, he suddenly felt that Lu Xiufan was a Godsend.

The System had issued a task for him to study drugs, and Lu Xiufan provides him with ready-made research equipment as well as experts in the field. Although he currently can't directly provide the brain repair serum, he can absolutely seek the help of these professionals.

This world's task seems to have become less difficult with Lu Xiufan's assistance.

Shang Ke stared intently at Lu Xiufan, until the other wrote on an electronic tablet:
【What's the matter?】

He suddenly felt like they might actually be able to live together to a ripe old age.

Shang Ke shook his head, saying nothing.

The distribution center's affairs had already been handed over to an agent hired by Lu Xiufan, Yue Family had already arranged for a new successor, this freed up the time for him to peacefully stay at the villa and conduct scientific experiments.

There were several medicinal gardens near the villa, which were planted with many rare herbs. Shang Ke's room faced these medicinal gardens; if he opened the windows, he could smell the fragrant scent of fresh herbs. The purple flowers in the garden swayed gently, like surging waves.

Shang Ke fell in love with the room at first glance, happily enjoying the view outside his window.

Just then, the housekeeper knocked on the door. Shang Ke turned towards the door and saw him lead a white dog that was almost half as tall as a man into the room. He first gave a salute to Lu Xiufan before bending down to untie the dog's leash.

The big dog tilted his head and slowly wandered to Lu Xiufan's side, first rubbing against his leg before sitting at his side and giving Shang Ke an assessing look.

Shang Ke gazed at the dog's face a moment before holding out his hand.

The big dog shot him a reserved glance before extending his paws, touching Shang Ke in the palm of his hands in acknowledgment.

Lu Xiufan's eyes flashed with a smile as he petted the dog's head with one hand and touched Shang Ke's head with the other; both were good, both were worthy of praise.

Shang Ke and the big dog both looked at Lu Xiufan at the same time with surprisingly similar looks in their eyes.

Lu Xiufan: I suddenly feel as if life is very blissful...

The big dog's name, Snowball, didn't quite match his noble image. Because he was white, without a trace of any other pigment, he could walk across the snow as if he was invisible. When Lu Xiufan left, Snowball's main duty was to stay at Shang Ke's side.

"Where's Xiao Ze?" The rain-soaked Lu Xiufan asked the housekeeper when he returned to the villa and didn't see the man he'd expected to welcome him.

"Young Master Ze is in Laboratory 5," the housekeeper answered as he took Lu Xiufan's coat.

"The laboratory?" Lu Xiufan remembered not long ago Shang Ke had applied to join the lab, saying he wanted to help with research on the mental virus. Lu Xiufan naturally didn't refuse, thinking he only wanted to make up the time he couldn't work when he was injured.
