Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 255: Lei Xiao Felt Like A Smart Robot

Lei Xiao coughed and didn’t harp on the subject. He lowered his head and looked at the data on the paper. A few minutes later, he said, “This plan looks fine. I will help you make the medicine now.”

But then he paused and asked, as if reconforming with her. “Do you really not know how to use lab equipment?”

“I don’t.”

Huo Yao contemplated and said, “Maybe I will figure it out in the future.”

Lei Xiao touched his nose before putting down the paper. He walked up to the cabinet by the side and retrieved two sets of laboratory gloves, and handed one pair to Huo Yao. “I can teach you how to use the equipment while I’m at it.”

Huo Yao put on the gloves but rejected him calmly. “It’s fine. Just focus on the meds.”

Lei Xiao thought that Huo Yao was worried that he might get distracted and end up wasting ingredients.

So he dropped the topic. He took the medicine box and walked up to the refining apparatus.

Regardless of ancient or modern refining methods, the same law applied. The prescription and dosage had to be accurate, right down to the milligram. The slightest variance could make the end product a lot less effective, leading to a failure.

So it was imperative to stay completely focused when refining medicine. Since Lei Xiao rarely did it and Huo Yao was standing right beside him, he felt himself tense up.

Even though Huo Yao claimed she did not know how to use the equipment, he felt the performance pressure building up inside him.

Making medicine was a tedious affair to begin with. Moreover, purifying it was a time-consuming task. Eventually, they could only finish one-third of the process that afternoon.

At 6:00 pm, Huo Yao noticed how exhausted Lei Xiao looked. He was clearly suffering from mental fatigue. “Go rest. I will wrap this up.”

After spending all afternoon standing there, she had attained a certain degree of familiarity with the equipment, so it won’t be hard for her to manage this much.

Lei Xiao looked at Huo Yao. “Forget it. Let me do it. These herbs don’t come cheap...”

Before he finished his sentence, Huo Yao had already taken over.

She deftly used the equipment to refine the medicine. Then she placed the liquid into the filter and removed its sediment. After watching her do it, she did not resemble a newbie, except for being slightly slow in her movements.

Lei Xiao instantly shut up. He had forgotten that Huo Yao was a quick study.

No wonder she told him to focus on refining the medicine. She was actually trying to be nice.

He felt like he was a smart robot, only capable of carrying out instructions.

Two hours later, Huo Yao removed the medicine they had refined. Light radiated off her cold face after she removed her mask, making her fair complexion look translucent. She held the end product next to her nose and took a whiff.

“How did it go?” asked Lei Xiao hurriedly.

Huo Yao poured the medicine into a glass bottle she had prepared and replied with slight displeasure. “Average.”

Although the medicine was a little less effective than the ones made using ancient methods, it ought to be enough to neutralize Huo Xiang’s poison.

She put the lid on and placed the bottle in her pocket.

A complicated expression emerged on Lei Xiao’s face when he heard Huo Yao call it average.

He had only refined one-third of the medicine. The rest of the steps were done by Huo Yao, who had claimed earlier that she never touched laboratory equipment before this day. Also, she only spent half the time required to make it. No one would believe if she still claimed to be a rookie.

Despite the 100% success rate, Huo Yao was dissatisfied with the outcome.

Oh God! He could not bear thinking about it.
