21st Century Necromancer

The news of Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi winning the Nobel Prize quickly made headlines. Though neither of them was the youngest laureate in the history of the Nobel Prize, they were still among the younger winners. Additionally, their joint win and their youthfulness added numerous topics of interest to their achievement.

Particularly captivating was the photo published in the newspaper, showing the couple placing their Nobel Prize medals in the hands of their daughter. The little girl, evidently treating these symbols of world-class honor as toys or something edible, was seen putting them into her mouth.

This photo not only did not make people feel they disrespected the Nobel Prize but rather gave the impression that the couple did not care much about the honor. It was more like what Chen Yu said in his acceptance speech—they wanted to contribute to the development of human medicine.

Besides these matters, in their acceptance speech at the award ceremony, Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi mentioned Chen Yu's ongoing drug research aimed at curing cancer, which stirred quite a sensation.

The introduction of a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug was already an astonishing medical research achievement, and to completely cure cancer would undoubtedly be a major breakthrough that could rewrite the history of human medical development.

The issues and various interest entanglements involved in this would affect the entire world!

If Chen Yu hadn't said this at the Nobel Prize award ceremony, and if he weren't currently the focus of global attention, perhaps some people from pharmaceutical groups would have already tried to target him.

In fact, on the night following the award ceremony, people from a pharmaceutical group had already approached him, and even the King of Sweden expressed interest in the matter to Chen Yu.

However, these issues clearly couldn't affect Chen Yu at this stage. As a demigod, if he truly wished to release a drug that could completely cure cancer, no one could stop him.

But if Chen Yu did this, although the pharmaceutical groups couldn't prevent a demigod from pursuing what he desired, they still had various other unpleasant means at their disposal.

Furthermore, American pharmaceutical groups had just paid a significant price to acquire the production patent authorization for the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug from Chen Yu, and then Chen Xin claimed to be researching a new drug that could cure cancer, which seemed quite a slap in the face.

Due to this reason, when representatives from American pharmaceutical companies came to protest to Chen Yu, he nonetheless provided an explanation to them.

He explained to the American pharmaceutical company representatives that although the drug to cure cancer was indeed under research, its progress was very slow, and no breakthrough had been achieved so far.

He also stated that this would be a long-term study, and progress might not be made within the next ten years.

Although the American pharmaceutical groups did not believe or feel satisfied with this explanation, a demigod explaining and making promises to them already gave them sufficient face, so these companies could only let it go.

Yet, they became more cautious, proposing to Chen Yu that they wanted to join this project and contribute to the development of human medicine together.

Chen Yu certainly understood the intentions of these American pharmaceutical groups, but he did not oppose them. He merely stated that he would keep the project at Tokyo University Medical School Hospital for continued research and that he did not lack funding for experiments.

As for whether these pharmaceutical groups would send people in, Chen Yu was not concerned, nor did he need to be.

Although this research project was to remain at the hospital, in reality, Chen Yu, who held the core of the project, would relocate to the Maldives' island after his divine enthronement, leaving his daughter in Tokyo to continue her studies.

Among those who participated in the main research work thus far, Chen Yu had already discussed and arranged with Inomata Naoki, who would work at the Star Sea Island laboratory at that time.

Only a few peripheral researchers who did not participate in the core research would be left in Tokyo to maintain the existence of this research group.

Therefore, any attempts by American pharmaceutical groups to insert people would only result in them becoming unpaid labor under Chen Yu.

Moreover, if they sent ordinary people, Chen Yu could control them with just a hint, without any concerns about leaks or other issues.

Regarding the drug itself, although Chen Yu indeed desired to cure cancer, the problem involved much more than just medical issues.

Worldwide, there were many cancer patients, and a significant portion relied on anti-cancer drugs to sustain their lives.

The production of these anti-cancer drugs was a considerable industrial chain.

The impact involved not only the pharmaceutical companies themselves but also numerous other industries related to these companies, affecting countless livelihoods.

Therefore, Chen Yu did not intend to release a drug that could completely cure cancer in the short term.

The reason for announcing this news was merely to warn or threaten these pharmaceutical companies to avoid exploiting the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug patent from him excessively and pricing it out of the reach of ordinary patients.

After all, Chen Yu developed the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug to cure cancer, not for these pharmaceutical companies to make a fortune.

After receiving the award, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi did not stay in Sweden and directly returned to Japan.

At this time, it was close to the New Year in Japan, and there wasn't much time left before Chen Yu's scheduled divine enthronement day. Neither of them wanted to cause any more complications.

However, even if the couple didn't want any more trouble, there were still many matters for them to handle.

After returning home, both Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi received numerous invitations to give lectures, and even variety shows kept sending invitations.

Naturally, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi rejected all such matters, and for those they couldn't refuse, they used proxy puppets to handle them, managing things quite well.

But when it came to buying a house, the couple needed to deal with it together, as both had to be satisfied with the choice.

Upon learning about the Chen couple's plan to buy a house, several major real estate companies in Tokyo came directly, offering the best houses they had and expressing willingness to give them to the couple for free.noveldrama

To ensure the couple chose their company's house, the representatives from these real estate companies used various tactics, making various promises as if they were free.

Offering furniture and home appliances was a small matter, free renovation wasn't an issue, and some even proposed giving a car...

For such matters, Chen Yu didn't really care, but he and Hiromi Jounouchi still needed to select the house's location carefully.
