This kind of situation never happened before when important new drugs were released.

Some people even thought of sitting in protest for the medication.

If it goes on for a long time, it will be very bad for the company’s image. But promising them an increase in drug supply is impossible, as there’s not enough raw material available for processing.

To resolve the problem quickly, Admiral Bai and the directors of several public hospitals on Capital Star also attended the meeting.

The main reason for the patients’ protest is their trust in Su Xiaocai.

With other new drugs, most people would initially question their efficacy, observe for a while, and see if anyone uses them, then check for any side effects.

Only then would they consider whether to undergo this drug treatment.

Su Xiaocai’s drug skipped the "observation" step and gained their trust directly.

Most patients believe that anything produced by Su Xiaocai is of prime quality, leading to their hasty actions to sit-in and request the medication.

When Lu Qin read the investigation results, Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes, "So being trustworthy has its downsides too."

Admiral Bai: "So can you increase the drug supply? The Military Department cannot afford to give up its share, as the warriors are the most prone to genetic collapse and can’t delay treatment."

The hospital directors stated it’s no use, as other treatments could only suppress the condition. Patients, knowing there’s an effective drug, wouldn’t want to spend more on mere suppression, ignoring the root cause.

Moreover, they have to see if Su Xiaocai is in a good mood; if not, what if she doesn’t share any with them?

After much discussion, there was still no effective solution.

Su Xiaocai shrugged, "There’s only one way then."

"What way?"

"Just tell the truth." Su Xiaocai contemplated keeping the Martial Emperor Bamboo a secret for a while.

The fear is that once patients learn about the Martial Emperor Bamboo’s function, they might go mad digging up wild ones, leading to them all being uprooted.

"Aren’t you afraid others will learn it?" Admiral Bai asked in public.

"The technology is mine, how could I lose?" Just a little less profit, that’s all.

The cultivation liquid still has to be bought from her, and not everyone has a place to grow bamboo. Bamboo tends to be exclusive, except for fungi and Mang Blood, not many other plants can grow.

For families who enjoy gardening, they may only raise small ornamental bamboos. Martial Emperor Bamboo, being a large type, has such a thick stalk it requires two hands to encircle.

"After it’s made public, everyone learning to farm isn’t bad." For the Martial Emperor Bamboo to have gene-repairing effects, it must be freshly dug up and eaten, so eventually, everyone with land will learn to farm.

Thus, the title of the First Vegetable Farmer will be perfectly concluded, leading a new trend, encouraging everyone to grow bamboo.

Encouraging people to plant bamboo would at least prove she’s not lying; unable to increase production is not an excuse to raise prices; it’s truly due to a lack of raw materials.

Bamboo takes time to grow.

Martial Emperor Bamboo requires careful attention, with suitable soil and nutrient allocation being crucial. A slight change in environment can kill them; they may seem hardy, but actually need delicate care.

"As long as you’re willing to disclose, our medication won’t be less, right?" Admiral Bai continued.

"You won’t have less. In the end, it’s still me sacrificing profit to solve the issue. Next time, I won’t call you for a meeting, it’s a waste of time."

Everyone: "..." If you get any more blunt, you’ll offend us.

"It’s your problem anyway; at most, we can share some safety issues for you." Admiral Bai rose smoothly, posture upright, "If there’s anything needed, just say it; don’t be polite. After all, when it’s way too impolite, I can’t help either."

Su Xiaocai: "Please seal your venomous mouth, Admiral Bai."

"Heh." What venom, compared to Ji Li’s tongue, which can kill invisibly.

A sit-in led Su Xiaocai to compromise, which nobody expected.

No fuss, genuinely discussing terms with Su Xiaocai, and she would do whatever she could to meet their needs, not to betray their trust.

As work ended, Su Xiaocai informed those sitting in about the raw material situation.

Upon learning the raw material isn’t synthetic, but extracted from a type of bamboo, and realizing the limited bamboo supply was why production couldn’t be increased,

they didn’t struggle further, bowed to thank Su Xiaocai, and left.

Three days later, led by the government, a team was organized to guard the growth areas of wild Martial Emperor Bamboo, ready to act.

Su Xiaocai announced the effects of Martial Emperor Bamboo and informed everyone of the bamboo planting method.

If a suitable site is found, Martial Emperor Bamboo can grow, but if the soil is unsuitable, adjustments are needed, along with her special cultivation liquid.

The cultivation liquid isn’t expensive. Those with the land can try planting.

As for success, it depends on experience and patience.

Some people even manage to kill cacti.

And some people, like Su Xiaocai, rely on robots for all the farming.

Now that the method is disclosed, there’s nothing more I can do.
