CHAPTER 1904: CHAPTER 994: FINALLY, SOME GOOD NEWS_2

That day.

Just like usual, Ding Yue was "working" at his Mist City Arts and Science University. Although there were always various trivial and complex matters every day, his secretary Wen Ruohan could actually handle them well.

Since there wasn’t anything particularly important, Ding Yue just focused on domestic and international news every day and never forgot to video call his mom Zhang Cuiping and have a chat with his dad Ding Jianjun to relieve boredom.

"Principal Ding."

Secretary Wen Ruohan suddenly turned around and called out.

"Hmm?"

Ding Yue looked up at Secretary Wen Ruohan and asked, "What’s up?"

"Principal Ding, Director Bai from the School of Medicine says he will come over later to report on some matters regarding the medical research projects."

Secretary Wen Ruohan reported.

"Alright, I’ve got it."

Ding Yue nodded and then lowered his head to continue looking at the news on his phone.

The news was about the national football team being "furiously criticized" by some domestic netizens due to their loss in the semifinals of the World Cup.

This news made Ding Yue quite unhappy.

Geez.

The national team’s performance in the 2026 America-Canada-Mexico World Cup could be considered quite impressive, right?

They had already made it to the semifinals, which was the best performance since the national team existed. Yet, some netizens still criticized them. Ding Yue didn’t have to think to know they were probably professional trolls.

Fortunately, the vast majority of netizens still gave the national team full credit for their World Cup performance.

News media, in order to catch attention or generate traffic, naturally choose news that can spark discussion, like reporting that some netizens criticized the national team for losing in the World Cup semifinals, which in turn would prompt those who think the national team performed well to stand up and defend them, and even trigger a war of words among both sides.

In this way, traffic would naturally increase!

News media today only care about the word "traffic," and some even try to manipulate the narrative without any industry ethics.

Knock, knock, knock!

Just as Ding Yue was curiously browsing through the comments, the door of his office was knocked.

At the office doorway stood Director Bai Liwei: "Principal Ding."

"Director Bai is here, come, have a seat."

Ding Yue looked up and seeing Director Bai Liwei, asked him to come in and sit down.

This time, the School of Medicine plans to become a global leader in medical specialties and medical technology research, which certainly means there are many plans to be made, and as Ding Yue instructed Director Bai Liwei, the first batch of research projects must include those involving cancer-treatment technology.

"Principal Ding, our School of Medicine has developed some plans regarding its development recently. I’ve brought a planning report today for you to have a look at, and also to report to you in detail."

After walking into the office, Director Bai Liwei sat at Principal Ding’s desk and said earnestly.

"Alright."

Ding Yue nodded and then took the planning report from Director Bai Liwei’s hand.

"Then, Principal Ding, I will begin."

Director Bai Liwei said.

"Go ahead."

Ding Yue opened the planning report and listened to Director Bai Liwei’s detailed reporting.

In Mist City Arts and Science University’s School of Medicine plan, to reach the forefront of the global medical and pharmaceutical field, there must be technological breakthroughs in certain pharmaceutical areas.

Besides cancer-treatment technology, there is also research into HIV treatment and biomedical fields, all of which have been included in the School of Medicine’s development plan.

After reading it, Ding Yue felt the planning was quite good.

"Hmm, very good. Then, let’s have Mist City Arts and Science University’s School of Medicine follow this path in researching medical and pharmaceutical technology."

Ding Yue nodded slightly, looking at Director Bai Liwei and said.

However.

Ding Yue seemed to notice a lack of confidence on Director Bai Liwei’s face, so he asked, "Anything else, Director Bai?"

"Well, that is, if we are to develop all the projects outlined in the plan, I’m afraid the cost of research will be an astronomical figure, and more importantly, the final result might be... nothing gained."

Director Bai Liwei still voiced his concerns.

Especially things like cancer-treatment that can cure cancer still sound somewhat unrestricted, not to mention technologies like life-extension medical sciences, which are like "black technologies" found only in science fiction movies.

Even if Mist City Arts and Science University’s School of Medicine is quite capable, with strong teaching and research capabilities, dealing with such "black technologies" is extremely difficult.

Honestly speaking, Director Bai Liwei is not very confident at the moment.

"This... might end up with nothing gained, but we have to forge ahead and hope to achieve some results."

Ding Yue said to Director Bai Liwei calmly.

"Alright, Principal Ding, we will definitely do our best."

Director Bai Liwei nodded, his tone was much more determined than before.

Seeing Director Bai Liwei become a bit more confident and firm, Ding Yue felt somewhat satisfied. The potential of his Mist City Arts and Science University’s School of Medicine is limitless, as long as everyone maintains enough confidence, surely under Ding Yue’s BUFF bonus, they can achieve results.

Well.

Ding Yue already redeemed the [Cancer Treatment Technology] in his University System Mall. Next, he just has to find an opportunity, precisely after the start of the new semester, to impart this technology to the faculty and students in the School of Medicine. Then, they can officially start the research on [Cancer Treatment Technology].

After all, it was still summer vacation, and most of the students from the School of Medicine were still at home enjoying their holiday.

"Alright then, Principal Ding, I’ll head back and start preparing."

Director Bai Liwei said with plenty of enthusiasm.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Bai."

Ding Yue said with a smile and nodded.

After Director Bai Liwei left, Ding Yue immediately opened his University System Mall. He had previously completed the [Ambition] University Routine Task and earned 200,000 system points.

With this, Ding Yue had enough system points to redeem the [Cancer Treatment Technology].

"System, I want to redeem [Cancer Treatment Technology]."

Ding Yue moved his thoughts and opened his University System panel to start redeeming.

"Ding! Congratulations to Host for successfully redeeming [Cancer Treatment Technology]..."

The system’s notification sounded in his mind.

When Ding Yue heard the successful redemption, the corner of his mouth revealed a smile. Once this technology is redeemed, the special medicine that can cure cancer will be like truly taking the first step.

It could also be said that it’s half-successful. The next half depends on how Mist City Arts and Science University’s outstanding faculty and students deal with this challenging technology and the "infinite possibilities" they can reveal.

Just as Ding Yue successfully redeemed the [Cancer Treatment Technology], suddenly a phone call came to his phone, forcing Ding Yue to temporarily put away the system panel and pick up the phone.

"Hello, Tong Yihang."

Ding Yue answered the phone, and the caller was the pride of Mist City Arts and Science University’s mechanical department, Tong Yihang.

"Principal Ding, are you at school?"

Tong Yihang asked over the phone.

"Yes, yes, I’m here, what’s up?" Ding Yue asked, puzzled.

"Haha, there’s great news to tell Principal Ding."

"Great news?"

"Yes, Principal Ding, we’ve made a very significant breakthrough in photolithography technology." Tong Yihang said excitedly.

Phew!

A major breakthrough in the research of 3-nanometer process photolithography technology!

Damn!

That can definitely be considered good news!

Finally, there’s good news, Ding Yue felt his mood improve considerably.
