Chapter 931
Serena leaned back lazily, a brow arched. “Sure p>
She remained in her seat, her gaze sweeping casually over the petri dish. “Your basic knowledge is memorized well enough, but all of it is dead wrong p>
The comment was clearly directed at Bianca.
Bianca’s face shifted. “What did you just say p>
“The extraction method you mentioned… do you have a death wish?” Serena scoffed. “Your method wouldn’t extract medicine. It would produce a lethal toxin p>
Serena lazily lifted her eyelids, shooting Bianca a sidelong glance before looking back at the petri dish. “Once the Violet Wraith Vine mutates, its roots and stems contain a massive amount of alkaloids p>
She kept it concise, getting straight to the point of why Bianca’s proposed extraction method would result in a deadly poison and the exact catastrophic risks it carried.
Finally, she cast another sideways glance. “The method you described is deeply flawed p>
Bianca exploded.
“You’re talking absolute nonsense!” She slammed her hand on the desk. “Serena, what the hell do you know? Do you really think showing off in Professor Warren’s class makes you some peerless genius? This is our Doyle family lab’s internal data, developed by dozens of PhDs and backed by clinical trials. How could it be poison? You’re a high-school dropout loser, what do you know p>
The moment the words left her mouth, Bianca clamped a hand over it.
She realized she had slipped up.
The entire class looked at her, their expressions shifting subtly.
Internal data? Developed by dozens of PhDs? Backed by clinical trials?
It meant Bianca’s confident, arrogant theoretical display just now wasn’t her own original thought or deduction at all.
She had just been reciting an answer key.
Wasn’t that basically cheating?
Especially after Bianca had just been throwing a righteous fit, swearing that Serena
had colluded with the dean and Professor Warren to cheat in public.
And now she was pulling the exact same stunt?
Wasn’t this a massive slap to her own face?
The students’ gazes grew increasingly peculiar.
Even Professor Lewis’s smile froze, a slight frown creasing her forehead.
“No, that’s not Bianca hurriedly tried to backpedal. “I mean… when I was helping out at my family’s lab, I encountered it p>
Serena let out a soft laugh. “If your
internal data is this disastrously
wrong, it just proves the Doyle family lab is employing a bunch of
incompetent idiots
“You!” Bianca was furious, stepping forward as if she wanted to charge at Serena.
But Professor Lewis intervened,
holding Bianca back as she looked
at Serena, “Serena, traditional
medicine is profound and complex. relies on years of accumulation and experience. There is no room for fabrication p>
“Since you claim the Doyle family lab’s extraction method is flawed, what do you propose are the correct reaction conditions p>
Serena didn’t waste her breath on useless chatter.
She stood up and walked straight to the podium.
Picking up a piece of chalk, she swiftly wrote out a complex chemical extraction formula across the board.
“This is the molecular structure of the Violet Wraith Vine’s alkaloids. To achieve true activity p>
She rattled off the explanation as she wrote.
When she finished, she tossed the chalk aside. “Professor Lewis, you can verify the calculations p>
Bianca stared at the formula on the blackboard, listening to Serena break down the structures, the compounds, and the extraction metrics.
Cold sweat began to bead on her forehead.
But she still clung to the belief that the data painstakingly researched by the dedicated scientists at her family’s lab and proven through clinical trials-couldn’t possibly be wrong.
