The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 108 Lecture
Outside the building entrance.

"Orcs are not allowed!"

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Mian paused slightly and instinctively turned around to look back. Zhou Bai, who was in front of her, also stopped and turned around to look as well.

"Sister, you go in, I'll wait for you outside." Chi Lin said with a smile, seemingly without any embarrassment.

“Okay, you can go do your own thing first. I’ll call you to come pick me up when I’m going back.” Jiang Mian nodded gently.

"Okay, I'll miss you, sister." Chi Lin smiled, her eyes sparkling.

Jiang Mian simply nodded and said nothing more. Turning around, she saw Zhou Bai waiting for her.

She suddenly had the feeling that she was the boss and the other person was her assistant.

However, Zhou Bai's handsome face remained calm, suggesting he had no objections.

Jiang Mian then walked over and said, "Mr. Zhou, let's go."

"Hmm." Zhou Bai responded calmly and businesslike, as always.

The two walked into the lobby on the first floor. Along the way, there were many other pharmacists heading to the lecture hall, some with their assistants.

As Zhou Bai walked, he operated the personal terminal and said, "Xiao Jiang, I have sent you the lecture agenda. Please take notes on the discussions, and pay special attention to the exchanges and sharing between Pharmacist Bai Zuo and Pharmacist Ling Ling. You don't need to come this afternoon. Just prepare a document at home and send it to me."

Jiang Mian replied businesslike, "Yes, Mr. Zhou."

A lecture hall resembling a huge tiered screening room.

Rows of red cushioned seats.

After Zhou Bai brought Jiang Mian in, a middle-aged man waved to Zhou Bai. That man was none other than Li Chengfeng, whom they had met in the White Moon Forest.

The middle-aged man had a refined appearance, but his eyes were sharp and he was full of energy.

"Brother Zhou, come and sit with us." Li Chengfeng smiled and waved to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai paused for a moment, then walked over and sat down next to him, and Jiang Mian followed and sat down next to Zhou Bai.

The exchange meeting hadn't started yet, so Zhou Bai and Li Chengfeng chatted casually.

I don't know how we ended up talking about staying up all night again.

Jiang Mian was casually scrolling through her personal terminal when she heard them talking about Bu Mian, her identity on the cloud network. She hadn't been paying attention to their conversation before, but now she started to listen to what they were saying about her.

"Brother Zhou, have you added that Sleepless One?" Li Chengfeng asked casually. "I bought all his articles, sent him a lot of messages but he doesn't reply, and he doesn't reply when I add him. I guess he's a strange and aloof old man."

Jiang Mian:......

A middle-aged male pharmacist behind them overheard their discussion about the powerful pharmacist, Unsleeping, and chimed in, "I've heard that Unsleeping has only added five people on CloudNet. I know one of the pharmacists who added her, and he only revealed that Unsleeping is an exiled pharmacist. If you check the list of exiled pharmacists in the Imperial Court, you might be able to find out Unsleeping's true identity."

Jiang Mian paused for a moment. She had only added five people, all by chance. For example, she would see a message from the other person and if she happened to be interested, she would click to chat.

These five netizens are Yanri, Qingyu, Xunmi, Baifeng, and Jin.

Apart from Yanri, who is an orc, the other four are human apothecaries. They usually just exchange information about potions.

Sometimes she would inadvertently mention the fact that she was in exile on a planet.

I don't know which netizen revealed that she was on an exile planet, but it didn't really matter. Those people seemed to have misunderstood and thought she was a pharmacist who had been exiled to a desolate planet.

In fact, the original owner of this body was not a pharmacist; he was exiled for other crimes, not for being a pharmacist. "It seems that Unsleeping isn't just a cold and eccentric old man, but also likes to research forbidden drugs, which is why he was exiled to a desolate planet," Li Chengfeng casually remarked. "Of those five people, only Xunmi is well-known on the Cloud Network; the others aren't famous at all. What criteria did Unsleeping use to include them?"

Jiang Mian:......

Can she say that she really just joined the group by chance?
"How can you be so sure the other person is an eccentric old man?" Zhou Bai asked calmly. "What if the other person is quite young?"

Li Chengfeng glanced at Zhou Bai and slowly said, "Those articles couldn't have been written by someone who wasn't fifty or sixty years old."

Jiang Mian:......

Because she came back from the future, it's as if she brought back knowledge from a hundred years in the future.

Indeed, it would take at least a century to write such a work.

However, Jiang Mian naturally couldn't explain this.

"And didn't the person next to you say that Bu Mian was an exiled pharmacist?" Li Chengfeng continued, "Pharmacists who concoct forbidden drugs are either madmen or geniuses."

The banned drugs were naturally made from unusual and outrageous ingredients, and were prohibited by the empire.

However, some pharmacists take an unconventional approach to pursue their research findings.

Li Chengfeng understood this feeling all too well. Just like when he was researching longevity cells and couldn't figure it out, he started thinking about some unconventional things. And he did indeed conduct underground research that couldn't be made public.

“I really want to get to know him,” Li Chengfeng smiled. “We’d definitely have a lot in common.”

Jiang Mian:......

She felt that it shouldn't exist.

"The lecture has begun," Zhou Bai said softly.

Their conversation then came to an end.

The pharmacists who shared their research findings or experimental hypotheses at this exchange lecture were all well-known pharmacists on Exile.

Jiang Mian did not forget the task Zhou Bai had assigned her: to input words using voice recognition on the quantum computer, and then cut out the unnecessary words and extract the essence.

She noticed that Zhou Bai next to her was also taking notes.

Jiang Mian paused. Didn't he tell her to memorize it? Why is he memorizing it himself?
Zhou Bai seemed to notice Jiang Mian's gaze as well, and simply said, "I will send you the communication records I have taken down later, and you can organize them together this afternoon."

“Okay.” Jiang Mian naturally had no objections.

Halfway through the meeting, the lights in the entire lobby suddenly went out, the system crashed, all four doors were locked, and thick, acrid smoke billowed up in the lobby.

"The smoke is poisonous!" someone exclaimed.

Suddenly, a cacophony of voices erupted as people rushed from their seats toward the door, but the door's system malfunctioned and remained unresponsive.

"Don't wander around, there are too many people and it's easy for a stampede to happen." Zhou Bai's cold voice rang out beside Jiang Mian.

In the darkness, Jiang Mian silently put on a gas mask.

"Mr. Zhou, here you go, this is for protection against toxic fumes." Jiang Mian stuffed one into Zhou Bai's hand.
