Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Thirty Minutes

"How did it go?"

"Don’t even mention it..."

Li Lin looked miserable. "It burned like hell when I sprayed it on, and then after a while, it just went numb, like I’d been given an anesthetic. It lasted a little longer, I guess, maybe over three minutes, but I couldn’t feel a thing. It was like being a wooden post. Super lame. My girlfriend even thought I was sick."

Li Xu nodded.

’That’s a common problem with low-end sprays.’

He took a small bottle from his drawer and handed it to Li Lin. "Here, take this. It’s a new formula I developed yesterday. It’s purely traditional medicine, no side effects. Take it home and try it. The results will definitely surprise you."

"Huh?"

Li Lin took the bottle in shock, his eyes wide. "Y-yesterday we just talked about this, and you’ve already made it today? Isn’t that a little too fast? That’s practically light speed!"

He looked down.

It was a plain, unlabeled bottle.

His heart started pounding with uncertainty.

’Can something made in such a hurry actually work well?’

’No one’s tested it yet, have they?’

’Is he using me as a guinea pig?’

’I hope there aren’t any side effects.’

But he didn’t dare say it out loud. After all, his senior was just trying to be nice.

Besides, Li Xu’s medical skills were undeniable. Who knew? Maybe it really did have some miraculous effect.

"Thanks, Senior. I’ll go home and try it."

After thanking him, Li Lin left.

After seeing Li Lin off, Li Xu checked the time. It was the lunch break, and the clinic was empty.

He decided to try it himself.

It was just as he always said: How can a doctor know a medicine’s properties without trying it themselves?

Only by personally experiencing the subtle sensations could he accurately control the dosage when prescribing it in the future.

He went to the restroom and locked the door.

He carefully poured out a single drop of the pale green liquid and applied it to the "key area."

There was no stimulating sensation, neither cool nor hot. It was like an ordinary drop of water on his skin—mild, natural, and even carrying a faint, tea-like fragrance.

Other than that, there was no unusual feeling whatsoever.

"This mild?"

Li Xu was a little surprised.

Most sprays on the market, in order to work quickly, would add menthol or alcohol. When applied, they were either bitingly cold or scorching hot.

For this formula to be so subtle and gentle was a pleasant surprise.

Generally speaking, after applying a normal delay spray, you had to wait at least 30 minutes for the liquid to penetrate and be absorbed before it took effect.

Higher-end ones still took about 10 minutes.

But the information from the system stated: only 2 minutes!

minutes—just enough time to get undressed and do a little foreplay. It was perfect, not long enough for the spark of passion to die out while waiting.

Li Xu walked out of the restroom.

"Sisi, come with me for a second."

He walked to the front desk, pulled Song Sisi away from the show she was watching, and led her toward the room he used to live in.

It hadn’t been cleaned up yet.

But all the daily necessities were there.

Song Sisi blushed as she was pulled into the room. "What are you doing? It’s the middle of the day, and you have appointments this afternoon."

Li Xu didn’t say a word. He closed the door behind him, gently pinned her against the wall, and tenderly caressed her cheek with his fingers.

Song Sisi felt the fiery passion in Li Xu’s eyes. Her body went soft, and she fell silent, simply closing her eyes shyly.

Outside the window, cicadas chirped tirelessly in the trees.

Two sparrows landed on the windowsill, chirping and chasing each other playfully. They would fly up and then down again, fluttering their wings and composing a cheerful symphony on the hot afternoon.

The air inside the room gradually grew warmer, as if time itself had become thick and viscous.

...

「Half an hour later.」

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

The two lay side-by-side on the bed, panting heavily, their hair soaked with sweat.

Song Sisi’s cheeks were flushed, her dazed eyes staring at the ceiling. It took her a good while to come back to her senses.

She turned her head to look at Li Xu beside her, her eyes filled with astonishment.

"Li Xu... today... how were you so amazing?"

Before, Li Xu had been good, but he usually lasted about ten minutes, which was a normal performance.

But today, he had gone at it for over half an hour.

And his level of control and explosive power... it was like he was a completely different person.

Although Li Xu was a little tired and his back was a bit sore, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"Hehe, so? Are you impressed?"

He said with a smile, pinching Song Sisi’s nose.

’This is incredible.’

’It’s really incredible!’

’As expected of a product from the system!’

During the whole process, he hadn’t felt any numbness at all.

His sense of touch remained sharp, the pleasure was still intense—even more so!

The most crucial part was the "sense of control."

In the past, when he got excited, he’d always have to deliberately slow down or even stop to pace himself in order to control the timing. That feeling was actually quite frustrating.

But now it was different.

He didn’t have to deliberately hold back at all. He could control the rhythm as he pleased—fast when he wanted, slow when he wanted. This feeling of having everything perfectly under control was simply addictive!

Li Xu had always believed that if you wanted to be strong in *that* department, the most fundamental approach was to nourish the kidneys, strengthen the yang, and build up the body.

As for delay formulas, those were just crooked paths, things used by men who couldn’t perform.

Now, his perspective had changed.

Nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the yang was certainly the foundation, the groundwork.

But once the foundation was laid, having a suitable weapon as support was what allowed one to maximize their combat effectiveness.

Going from weak to strong is about nourishment. Going from strong to god-like is about technique!

This formula was definitely a god-tier artifact that every man dreamed of!

「Feng City Restaurant.」

Ding Kaifang was hosting a friend who had come from afar—Luo Sha.

Luo Sha was also a businessman, running a small-to-medium-sized pharmaceutical company. His main business was various health supplements and... delay formulas.

After three rounds of drinks, Luo Sha began to pour out his troubles.

"Old Ding, you have no idea how hard things are for me right now."

Luo Sha drank one sullen glass after another. "To develop a new spray, I sank millions in R&D fees and hired experts and academicians. And the result? The effect is mediocre. User feedback is either it’s too numbing or they feel nothing at all."

"This industry is just too competitive now! Top brands like ’Xiang Jiu’ have such a strong siphon effect, they’ve completely locked down the high-end market. And what’s left of the low-end market is just a bunch of no-name brands selling for a few bucks, waging a price war. We’re stuck in the middle, can’t move up, can’t move down. It’s miserable!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ding Kaifang with envy. "You’re the one with vision and good fortune, Old Ding. Two years ago, your factory was about to go under. Who could have imagined this? Eye drops, Aloe Vera Frost, hangover-cure tea, shampoo... you’re pumping out one bestseller after another, it’s like you’re printing money. Now you’re practically a leading company in the industry."

Ding Kaifang felt a sense of satisfaction hearing this. He raised his glass, clinked it with Luo Sha’s, and said with emotion, "Yeah. Two years ago, I was so worried I wanted to jump off a building. Who could have imagined things would be like this today?"

"This is all thanks to Doctor Li. He’s my benefactor, the greatest contributor to our factory. Without his miraculous formulas, where would Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory be today?"

When mentioning Li Xu, Ding Kaifang was full of the highest praise, lauding Li Xu’s medical skills to the heavens.
