Extra: Alice (II)

After the sweeping devastation of the Artificial Intelligence catastrophe, most parts of the Great Dog Country were reduced to ruins, but as the former strongest nation, it had largely recovered its Origin Qi after three years of rectification.

Compared to before, the entire society's atmosphere had undergone significant changes; while Western medicine still dominated, Chinese medicine had made considerable progress.

In an inconspicuous street in Apple City, there was a small Chinese medicine clinic with a few large characters written on it: Extraordinary Chinese Medicine Clinic.

The clinic was not large, and there was only one doctor inside, a beautiful blonde, blue-eyed woman, who was none other than Alice, the former president of the World Medical Association.

It turned out that after witnessing the marvels of Chinese medicine in Huaxia, she had diligently studied Chinese and Chinese medicine upon her return.

Later, when robots blew up the World Medical Association, she simply resigned and opened her own Chinese medicine clinic, practicing and researching Chinese medicine simultaneously.

It must be said that this woman possessed an extremely strong talent in the Dao of medicine; although only seven or eight years had passed, she had already achieved profound mastery, and her skill was not inferior to some senior Chinese medicine practitioners in Huaxia.

At this moment, a white fatty lay prone on the examination bed, and she was performing acupuncture on him with silver needles, each needle inserted with precision and a masterful touch.

"Alright, you can get up now!"

After the acupuncture was completed, Alice collected all the silver needles and gestured for the white fatty to leave, then turned and called out, "Next!"

A Middle-aged Man walked in from the doorway, none other than Ishikawa Miwa of the Ishikawa Family.

Within the Ishikawa Family, he was responsible for business and external lobbying work, and to gather more biomedical experts, he set his sights on this former president of the World Medical Association.

Whether in biological research or the medical field, this former Genius always had a dazzling aura; no one could ignore her existence.

It was precisely for this reason that for a core scientist like Alice, Ishikawa Miwa did not send his subordinates but personally came to visit, showing his high regard.

"Doctor, I would like to invite you for a house call to treat my father!"

Ishikawa Miwa spoke in Chinese.

He was a cunning and sly person and did not reveal his true purpose, but instead wanted to trick the other party into coming with him, ideally bringing her back to their stronghold without shedding blood.

"I'm sorry, my clinic is small, and I do not make house calls."

Alice had never seen the other party and had no intention of making a house call.

"I am willing to pay a high consultation fee; as long as the Young Miss makes the trip, I will pay one hundred thousand usd regardless of the outcome."

Ishikawa Miwa offered a high consultation fee, hoping to move the other party.

However, Alice shook her head; she was a Medical skill fanatic and had little interest in money.

"Sir, please go home; I truly do not make house calls."

"Two hundred thousand usd, four hundred thousand usd…"

"Ten kilograms of gold!"

Ishikawa Miwa continued to raise his offer, not only increasing the price but also converting the usd into gold.

It should be known that in the current turbulent world, besides chinese yuan, gold held the most stable value.

This time, Alice looked up, her gaze burning as she stared at him, "Are you from the Great Dog Country?"

Ishikawa Miwa was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "The Young Miss is a clever person; you can even tell that."

Alice gave a cold smile, "Tell me your true purpose, and perhaps I can consider it; otherwise, get out."

"This…"

Ishikawa Miwa pondered for a moment and quickly had an idea; it seemed money wouldn't move the other party, so he had to try a different approach.

"President Alice, then I'll be frank; I plan to establish a Chinese medicine research institute and would like to invite you to oversee it. As for the remuneration, everything is negotiable."

"Not interested."

Alice showed no surprise that the other party recognized her and refused again without hesitation.

"I like novelty; Western medicine no longer attracts me. What I'm interested in now is Chinese medicine."

Ishikawa Miwa's brain worked rapidly, adapting to the situation, and he immediately had a new idea, looking directly at this legendary medical fanatic, "What if I said we're researching viruses?"

"Viruses?"

A glint flashed in Alice's eyes, "That's somewhat interesting, but it still doesn't attract me."

"I'll be direct then."

At this point, there wasn't much time to delay, and Ishikawa Miwa decided to burn his bridges; if the other party didn't agree and knew his secret, he would eradicate her, as he had over a dozen experts with him anyway.

"What I want to research is the strongest virus in this world, one that can infect everyone and then control the entire world through the virus.

President Alice, are you interested in such a grand endeavor?"

"Control the entire world?"

Alice was stunned for a moment, then a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

"That's somewhat interesting, but such a thing isn't done for free. I can join, but you have to agree to two conditions."

Seeing that the other party was willing to agree, Ishikawa Miwa was overjoyed, "Yes, state whatever demands you have."

"Firstly, I want one hundred tons of gold as compensation, and secondly, I want to personally oversee such an interesting project."

"One hundred tons of gold?"

This number was truly too large, and Ishikawa Miwa hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded.

Once this plan succeeded, their Ishikawa Family would rule the entire world, and one hundred tons of gold would be nothing; furthermore, at that time, the initiative of whether to give it or not would still be theirs.

"I can agree to your first condition, but not the second."

Alice shook her head, "Then there's nothing to discuss."

"President Alice, I hope you can understand."

Ishikawa Miwa quickly tried to persuade her, "After all, a project of this magnitude must be led by someone from our Ishikawa Family, but you can serve as deputy head and only need to be accountable to our Ishikawa Family."

Alice frowned, "That's acceptable, but my compensation must double to two hundred tons of gold."

"Agreed."

This time, Ishikawa Miwa agreed without hesitation, and the two reached an agreement; the clinic closed, and they quickly left the country, flying directly to the Ishikawa Family's base camp.

On the plane, Alice closed her eyes, her mind racing.

Agreeing to Ishikawa Miwa's demands was not about colluding but had her own considerations.

She was an extremely intelligent woman; since Ishikawa Miwa had revealed such a confidential matter to her, it meant he had already decided to kill her.

If she didn't agree, with her strength, she probably wouldn't be able to resist the other party and would suffer a terrible fate.

Moreover, as a qualified doctor, what she despised most were those who used Medical skill with malicious intent; the other party's plan was truly too grand and evil, so she had to stop it.

And for her, the most effective way was to intervene, as that would give her a chance to disrupt this evil plan.

Alice also understood human nature very well; if she had agreed without hesitation at the time, Ishikawa Miwa would have immediately seen through her flaws and intentions.

Therefore, she made an exorbitant demand, asking for two hundred tons of gold, solely to confuse the other party.

Facts proved that these actions were very effective and did not arouse Ishikawa Miwa's suspicion.

Or rather, the other party simply didn't need to worry, believing that once inside the Ishikawa Family's base camp, a woman wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
