"Have you heard of dala aspirin?" Xiao Peng asked.

Amelia shook her head. "All I know is aspirin."

Xiao Peng explained: "Dala is a drug used to treat parasitic infections. It is aimed at people with immune system defects such as AIDS, malaria, cancer, pregnancy syndrome and so on. has been recognized by the World Health Organization as the world's top drug. "

"The formula for this drug is in the hands of a man in your country named Martin Shkeley, a former hedge fund manager who bought it for fifty-five million dollars and was the only drug manufacturer in Stars and Stripes that was approved by the FDA. Do you know how expensive this medicine is? $750 a piece! Do you know how much the drug cost before Martin Shkley bought it? 13.5 dollars a piece! However, Martin thinks that the price is still too low and will continue to rise. "

Amelia gaped. "Such a bad person?" No one can take care of him? "

Xiao Peng laughed, "This is the sudden profit of the medical industry. Who can take care of him? According to what is said here, his actions are legal, this place isn't like us China who have a price bureau monitoring system, where even according to the anti-monopoly law, we can't control him. "Who told you to be 'free'? If you want to buy or not, he'll sell it for such a high price!"

Amelia fell silent. Xiao Peng smiled. "Of course, it's not like no one didn't take care of him. A group of chemical-loving, fifteen-year-old Chinese high school students at the Sydney Grammar School in Australia secretly formed a team to fight against Martin Shkley. After a year of trial and error, they managed to synthesize 3.7 grams of very pure dala aspirin, costing less than $20, and the weight of dala aspirin required $110 thousand on the market. "After this group of kids applied for their patents, they generously posted the formula and experimental methods onto the internet."

Amelia, too, was delighted. "Is this the end of the good days for Martin Shkeley?"

Xiao Peng shrugged, "It was too early. First of all, how many billions of dollars has Martin earned? Secondly, he didn't know how long it would take for other pharmacists to get involved in the production of this medicine. So, Martin Shkrelli can still be his super billionaire. And what about the price of artemisinin from China, a high-end drug of the world? A few cents! And all of this was because the artemisinin was refined from plants, and all of this was rejected by the world's major medical companies! Say it's unscientific! Such a good medicine could only be used in China and not abroad! What about the efficacy of this medicine? Since 2000, at least 1.5 million people in sub-Saharan Africa have been saved by the drug! Take a few cents a piece and compare it to a few hundred dollars. That's the huge profit for the medical profession! "

"There are ten big medical groups in the world, and all of them are extremely wealthy. Why are there so many new drugs appearing all day long?" Do you really think that this is for the benefit of the public? No! You are too naive, according to the statistics of the World Health Organization, from the time the Western Medicine appeared until now, a total of ten thousand different kinds of Western Medicine were produced. But now, less than a thousand different kinds of Western Medicine were used in clinical practice, so the remaining nine thousand different kinds of Western Medicine had all been withdrawn from the historical arena. Why was he eliminated like this? It's because western medicine has very serious side effects. The emergence of new drugs is to make a profit while patching up old ones, just as you need to spend money to upgrade your Windows operating system. The number of people dying each year from taking Western medicine in the Star Division alone amounted to 120 thousand. If it were the entire world, how many would die? Moreover, this kind of expensive and inexpensive Chinese medicine had a huge impact on the expensive Western medicine. Therefore, he had to strictly resist it. Otherwise, how could he collect a windfall? As a result, all sorts of disgraces were added. As long as they paid for the troll army, there would be countless people working for them. As for those medical companies, they lacked for everything except money. So it became the situation today, which is called the power of capital. "

Amelia shrugged. "All I know is that I have to take medicine when I'm sick, but I didn't expect there to be so much knowledge in medicine."

Xiao Peng said with a smile, "This is not called the medical industry. All we can say is that this is business. Everything is just business competition."

The two chatted and laughed, but Xiao Peng didn't feel tired as he cleaned up the Tempest Grass. Suddenly, Xiao Peng stopped moving and pricked up his ears to listen, "What is that sound?"

Amelia said, "The sound of the engine. "What's so strange about that?"

Xiao Peng frowned, "Why do I feel that the voice is directed at me?"

Before Amelia could answer Xiao Peng, he saw the Tempest Grass in front of him pouncing towards him.

"What the f * ck!" Xiao Peng hurriedly turned around and ran. Before he took two steps back, he saw a red pickup truck charging towards him. "It was exactly the girl that Xiao Peng saved yesterday through the windscreen." "F * ck, are you trying to repay a favor with an enmity?" Xiao Peng cursed loudly as he ran.

The girl also saw Xiao Peng and hurriedly stepped on the brakes. However, she didn't expect the pickup truck to suddenly accelerate.

"Damn, do you know how to drive?" "Brake!" F * ck, he was using the throttle as a brake.

He was not afraid of the car. He dodged to the side, but what about Amelia? She was still hiding in the back.

Xiao Peng can hold this car? That works too! But then stop thinking about traveling with Amelia and the others.

A monster that was going head on against the pickup truck? Who would still dare to play with him? However, seeing that the pickup truck was getting closer and closer to him, Xiao Peng didn't have time to think anymore. He stopped running and turned around to face the truck, preparing to carry it head on.

Just as Xiao Peng was about to force his way into the pickup truck, the girl in the truck also came back to her senses. She stepped on the brakes and desperately headed in that direction, then the pickup truck charged past Xiao Peng and flipped into a nearby bush.

Xiao Peng, who had already gathered his Shaman Energy, was stunned on the spot. What was this? Are you here to scare me?

It was Amelia who reacted first. "Xiao Peng, save him first!"

Only then did Xiao Peng come back to his senses as he hurriedly jumped onto the overturned pickup truck. Ye Zichen dragged the unconscious girl out of the car. The girl's luck wasn't bad, she wasn't doing anything, but she was obviously scared silly. Xiao Peng put her on the ground, turned off the engine, and jumped out of the car. "Hey, are you alright?" Xiao Peng asked.

The girl shook her head and sat on the ground without saying a word.

Amelia walked over and whispered, "You can step on the brakes wrong way. I really don't know how to get my driver's license."

Xiao Peng asked Amelia, "Do you have a driver's license?"

Amelia nodded. "Of course."

"Is it blocked automatically?" Xiao Peng continued to ask.

"Of course!" Amelia said matter-of-factly.

Xiao Peng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then where are your feet placed?"

"Left foot brake, right foot throttle!" Amelia didn't know what Xiao Peng meant.

Xiao Peng nodded his head, "Then the same situation might happen to you as well."

"Huh?" Amelia froze.

Xiao Peng explained, "A lot of people drive automatic cars and are used to using their left foot to brake the accelerator. This is a mistake. Because in a situation like this, when they are in danger, they would put their feet together and the car would fly out -- like she was doing just now. So remember, when you're driving an automatic car, don't step on anything with your left foot and only use your right foot to operate it. "

The girl finally snapped out of her daze and burst into tears. "Amelia went to comfort her," she said. "You're fine now."

After hearing that, the girl took a look and muttered, "The visibility is so poor. How do I know where I'm going? "

"Please, can't you feel the bumps on the shoulder? You dare to drive your car on the road with such skill? I really admire you. Fortunately, nothing big has happened. " Xiao Peng examined her and found that the girl wasn't hurt.

The girl looked at the overturned car and felt like crying again. Xiao Peng sighed, "Take a photo first and tell the insurance company about the situation of the car. I'll think of a way for you to bring the car back!"

The girl nodded and stood up. She took out her cell phone and called the insurance company. As for Xiao Peng, he took off the bracelet he wore on his hand.

"What is this?" Amelia asked curiously.

Xiao Peng showed the bracelet to Amelia and explained, "This is called the Rope of the Paratroopers. In the wilderness, you have to have one no matter what. Don't underestimate this little bracelet. After unfolding it, it will be a 3.7 metre long seven-core paratrooper rope. It can even be used to drag and tie at critical moments. It also has a north pointing needle, survival whistle, flint, and a cutting knife. It's very convenient in the wilderness. " When Amelia was finished, Xiao Peng folded the rope in half and fastened it to the truck. The other end was attached to the Indian Chief, waiting for the girl to finish her call.

Amelia looked at the thin paratrooper rope. "It looks so thin."

Xiao Peng laughed, "Don't underestimate this parachute rope. It's extremely sturdy. Not to mention turning the car over, it's not even a problem to drag it to Chicago."

The girl hung up the phone and indicated to Xiao Peng that they had reached an agreement with the insurance company. Xiao Peng nodded and started up the motorcycle, causing the engine to roar. Finally, he flipped over the big pickup truck. The damage to the car is not that great. It's all scratches. "

Only after hearing what Xiao Peng said did the girl's expression improve. Xiao Peng got on the car and started it up, "Sure, there won't be any problems with the car. Be careful when you drive." With that, he untied the paratrooper rope, re-woven it into a bracelet, and put it on his wrist.

"Ah?" That. I don't have a Star-Spangled Country driver's license. "
