Chapter 289: Chapter 267: This Product Can Destroy 1 Industry

The moment Baguda left Wind Manor, he called his secretary and asked her to find some nearsighted people.

He would never dare to delay a task from the Governor, always acting on it immediately.

Still, he was curious what was so magical about this wine. Why did it specifically have to be drunk by people who were nearsighted?

’Could this wine actually cure nearsightedness?’

’That’s impossible. It defies all logic.’

Looking at the wine jar in his hand, he immediately arranged to have some bottles sent to his office. After all, the Governor had instructed him to find many nearsighted people to drink it, so portioning out the wine would make distribution much easier.

By the time Baguda returned to his office, the bottles had already been delivered.

He immediately began portioning the contents of the jar into the individual bottles.

He had just finished when his secretary entered, looking puzzled. "Mr. Baguda, the people you asked for will be here shortly. They’re all government employees. May I ask why you needed me to find people who are nearsighted?"

Baguda looked at his bespectacled secretary and instructed, "Kerana, you’re nearsighted too. Take one of these bottles for yourself. I want you to drink some every day. Give the rest to the others we found. You’ll need to monitor their conditions and report back to me daily."

’Since the Governor ordered this, there’s bound to be some effect from drinking the wine. I have to monitor it closely.’

Kerana glanced at the bottles, her expression full of doubt.

’What on earth is Mr. Baguda up to? He had me find all these nearsighted people just so they could drink this wine?’

Still, he had given the order. She immediately had someone take the other bottles away, keeping one for herself. The rest were all distributed to the nearsighted individuals she had gathered.

After finishing work for the day, Kerana took the bottle of wine home with her.

Remembering Mr. Baguda’s instructions, she immediately took out the bottle, poured a glass, and drank it down.

The wine tasted perfectly normal, with no particular flavor to speak of.

A moment later, however, a warm, pleasant sensation spread through her eyes.

Ever since she became nearsighted, her eyes had been constantly dry. It had been a long time since they’d felt this comfortable.

Kerana was tired after a long day at the office. She had a small bite to eat, drank two more glasses of the wine, then took a shower and went to bed.

Kerana slept soundly until sunrise, at which point she woke up and stretched luxuriously.

As she woke up and rubbed her eyes, she froze.

She was astonished to find that her nearsightedness seemed to have improved significantly.

She blinked in disbelief, but it was true—without her glasses, everything looked much clearer.

It wasn’t her imagination.

She quickly put on her glasses and, sure enough, found the prescription was now far too strong. Looking through them made her dizzy.

As someone who had worn glasses for years, she could immediately tell her vision had improved by over 100 degrees.

Her prescription had been 500 degrees, but now it was definitely closer to 400.

An incredulous expression appeared on her face.

Then, she thought of the wine Mr. Baguda had given her and how he had specifically asked for people with nearsightedness.

’Was it because of the wine?’

A sense of anticipation washed over her. She quickly got ready and headed for the main office, where she had the other nearsighted participants summoned.

They had also drunk the wine yesterday.

When the others arrived, they were all looking at Kerana with the same expression of utter disbelief.

"Kerana, what’s going on with that wine? It’s incredible! I think my vision has improved a little."

"Yes, mine improved a lot too! I have a feeling that by the time I finish the bottle, my eyesight will be completely back to normal."

"..."

Clearly, everyone who drank the wine had experienced the same effect: their vision had partially recovered.

Once she confirmed this, Kerana rushed to Baguda’s office to report. "Mr. Baguda, the wine you gave us is incredible! It can actually cure nearsightedness! Everyone who drank it has seen significant improvement. If we keep drinking it, I think it could be completely cured!"

"Just as I thought." Baguda had suspected as much, but hearing the confirmation still left him completely shocked.

He added urgently, "Kerana, all of you keep drinking the wine. Report to me every day."

’The Governor is simply amazing,’ he thought. ’First the Dream-Returning Wine, which was already magical enough, and now a wine that can restore eyesight.’

’Who would even believe this if word got out?’

’The eyewear companies would go crazy, shaking their heads and shouting, "Impossible!"’

’This product could absolutely destroy the entire eyewear industry.’

After that, both Baguda and Kerana grew even more expectant.

So, when Kerana got home from work that day, she once again drank some of the wine before getting into bed.

Soon, the comfortable, warm sensation in her eyes returned.

’The wine is working again,’ she thought.

「The next day.」

Kerana woke up early once more.

Upon waking, she habitually reached for the glasses on her nightstand and put them on.

But the moment she did, the world in front of her became a complete blur.

The prescription of her glasses was now far too strong for her eyes.

Then she remembered: she had drunk more of the wine last night.

She quickly took them off, and her vision was even clearer than it had been the day before.

"’If I weren’t experiencing this firsthand, who would ever believe something so miraculous was possible?’ Kerana marveled, feeling as though she were living in a science fiction story."

On the third day, she woke up early yet again.

After drinking the wine for three consecutive days, Kerana was utterly astounded.

Her vision had recovered by more than half, and it had only been three days!

The speed of her recovery was astounding. She sat there, dazed, for a long time.

Even the laser surgeries advertised by hospitals required far more than three days when you factored in the consultation, the procedure, and the recovery period.

Kerana hurriedly dug out an old pair of glasses she had long since retired.

She never imagined she’d have a use for this dusty old pair ever again.

Back at the Governor’s Mansion, the first thing she did was summon all the other nearsighted employees who had been given the wine.

The moment they saw her, they all began thanking her profusely:

"Kerana, thank you so much! My vision has already recovered by more than half!"

"Yes, thank you for the wine! I can almost go without my glasses now."

"By the time I finish the bottle, I think I’ll be able to get rid of my glasses for good."

"..."

Seeing their reactions, Kerana went to find Baguda again, her face a mask of awe as she reported, "Mr. Baguda, you will never believe how effective this wine is. It’s beyond incredible, simply staggering! A single small bottle has already corrected more than half of my 500-degree myopia, and it’s the same for the others. What in the world is this wine? How can it possibly have such an effect?"

"I understand." Hearing her report, Baguda said just that one word before rushing out the door. He was, of course, on his way to report to the Governor. He also wanted to ask if this wine could be commercialized.

If this wine was brought to market, it would create massive waves. The eyewear companies would probably be crying their eyes out.

If no one was nearsighted anymore, who would they sell their glasses to?

...

「In Wind Manor.」

Lu Feng entered the game once more. He carried several jars of wine to the research department and summoned Guo Zhen.

Inside the research department, everyone, including Cheng Sisi, watched their boss with puzzled expressions, wondering why he had suddenly appeared with several jars of wine.

Lu Feng, however, went straight to Guo Zhen and gave his orders. "This wine can cure nearsightedness, which must be due to a special ingredient. I need you to find an expert in the field, analyze it to identify that ingredient, and then write up a report with the formula for me."

"Yes, Boss. I’ll take care of it!" Guo Zhen nodded. He didn’t know his boss’s objective, but he didn’t need to. He just had to follow orders.

Once he had delegated the task, Lu Feng exited the game with a single thought. He had just returned to Wind Manor when he saw Baguda arriving.

"His Excellency the Governor." The moment Baguda saw Lu Feng, he immediately launched into his report. "The wine you gave me is simply miraculous! I had someone with 500-degree myopia drink a little each day, and in just three days, their vision improved by more than half! Can you believe it? In just three short days!"

Even Lu Feng was surprised to hear this.

That speed was indeed incredibly fast. What’s more, the wine’s effects were that potent. If the formula could be cracked, this new wine would become even more popular than Dream-Returning Wine for a time.

At the very least, no one with nearsightedness would be able to resist its temptation.

With 1.8 billion nearsighted people in the world, this wine would be profitable at any price. Add another zero to the price tag, and the profits would be astronomical.

Moreover, if it could treat myopia, it could also protect one’s eyes. Drinking it regularly could likely prevent nearsightedness from developing in the first place.

Therefore, the market for this wine would be evergreen.

"His Excellency the Governor, is there any chance we can bring this wine to market? It’s an absolute cash cow!" Baguda asked, unable to contain his impatience.

"I’m still in negotiations with someone about this wine. It won’t be that quick," Lu Feng lied smoothly. "However, I have a facial mask whose effects are no less miraculous. Didn’t I ask you to set up a production line and purchase the materials? Take me there now."

"Ah?... I’ll take you there right away, Governor!" Baguda was stunned by Lu Feng’s words, but he quickly recovered and began leading the way.

He remembered the Governor had previously asked him to set up a production line for facial masks and purchase a large quantity of materials, and he had already reported back on his progress.

Now, what was he hearing?

He knew perfectly well how miraculous this wine was. ’Can there really be something even more amazing?’

’But the Governor himself said so. It must be true, right?’

At this thought, his heart filled with even greater anticipation, and his steps quickened involuntarily.
