After Tommy lay down and covered himself with the blanket, he looked at Luke at the door and said, “Goodnight, Dad.”
“Goodnight. Sleep well,” replied Luke, closing the bedroom door behind him.
His phone buzzed. He glanced at it but did not return to the master bedroom. Instead, he headed to the other room and made a couple of phone calls.
Once everything was sorted, Luke went back to the master bedroom.
Luca was already sitting up in bed, holding a tablet.
“Is the child asleep?” asked Luca. She looked up, assuming Luke had been putting Tommy to bed.
“Yeah, he's asleep,” answered Luke, getting into bed and sitting next to her. He glanced at the screen filled with dense text and asked, “Looking at more research?”
“Yeah.” Luca nodded. “Every study needs data to back it up. Look at this herb. It's poisonous but also has properties that can regenerate flesh.”
She pointed at the document to show him.
“I’ve been wondering why Shanks would use these herbs for research. Is he trying to develop a new poison? But these herbs aren’t particularly strong, so it doesn't seem necessary. I started thinking in other directions, like their medicinal properties beyond the poison.”
Luke did not understand much about pharmaceuticals, but he found her explanation interesting and spent some time looking at the research with her.
Regenerating flesh…
Back in ancient times, people used herbs like these to treat patients. Modern technology has advanced, so these herbs' medicinal properties are now obsolete.
If Luca had not done her research, she would not have known about these properties.
However, due to the poison in those herbs, they had been mostly phased out in medicine, and even naturopathy physicians would avoid them.
A lot of information about these four medicinal ingredients had been lost over time, making it very difficult to find.
“Was it hard to find this information?” Luke suddenly asked.
He recalled how long Luca had been searching for it. She had searched so long yet only found so little information. That was why he asked.
Luca nodded. “These herbs are rarely used now. They've lost their market value, so it's lucky to find any information on them at all. It took me a lot of time to find even a little bit of information on it.”
The internet had only been around for a few decades.
These herbs had been used for thousands of years. Western medicine's introduction to A City made naturopathy less prevalent.
Information on these obscure herbs was mostly found in ancient texts, and very little was available online.
“If there’s any information online, I can find it.” Luke pulled her into his arms.
Luca was surprised. “Really?”
“Percy knows a guy,” Luke reminded her.
“Adrian Daley?” Luca suddenly remembered the guy.
After revealing his identity, Luke told her many things, like how Adrian could track IP addresses back to her old apartment.
Amur's skills were impressive, comparable to world-famous hackers. The encryption software he used was so advanced that even hackers could not trace detailed locations.
However, the fact that Adrian could pinpoint the exact neighborhood left Luca astonished.
After she mentioned Adrian's name, Luke nodded. “Yeah, that’s him. Percy said he's recently developed a big data algorithm that can accurately find the information you need from publicly available internet sources.
"It also has an intelligent exclusion feature that eliminates duplicate data instantly, which significantly increases search efficiency.”
Luca was amazed. That guy was a genius!
“If Abel finds out about this computer whiz, he’ll probably do everything he can to recruit him.”
