nChapter 38: A Hundred-Year-Old Spirit Branch; The Instructor’s Operation!

nThe next day, there were no classes in the morning.

nOf the four people in Dorm 104, Ma Zhong went to the library.

nSong Yi also went out early, and Zheng Jinbao was sleeping soundly.

nAfter Lin Fan woke up, he took out his phone.

nLin Fan casually marked the message as read and then started to read the news.

nDing! Ding!

nWhen the sun was high up in the sky, Lin Fan’s phone vibrated.

nA text message popped up.

nSun Luguo: Lin Fan, our family just bought a 100-year-old spirit branch. Are you at Jiangbei University now?

nSeeing this, he was startled.

nLin Fan’s eyes lit up.

nHe secretly praised in his heart, ‘No wonder they’re a famous medical family in Jiang province!’

nLin Fan replied: I’m at Jiangbei University.

nSun Luguo replied: Okay, I’ll be at the east gate of Jiangbei University in about 20 minutes.

nAfter Lin Fan put down his phone, he quickly got dressed and washed up.

nThen, he walked toward the east gate.

nNot long after, a white BMW Z5 stopped in front of him.

nSun Luguo, who was wearing a plaid shirt, came down and said, “Lin Gan, sorry to have kept you waiting.”

nLin Fan said, “No, I just arrived.”

n“This is the century-old spirit branch that my family received.” Sun Luguo handed over an exquisitely wrapped wooden box.

n“You’ve really helped me a lot this time!” Lin Fan said. “By the way, how much does this cost? I’ll transfer it to you now!”

n“If I take your money, I’ll be laughed at by Big Sis Jiaxin and the others,” Sun Luguo said while waving his hands.

n“Oh right, this spirit branch isn’t like ginseng and other herbs. The older it is, the more effective it is,” he reminded after a pause.

n“After reaching a certain age, the spirit branch will gradually turn into wood. Generally, it can only be used for ornamental purposes and has no medicinal value.”

nSun Luguo and Liu Yuhang often raced and fought each other, it made them look like playboys.

nIn fact, they grew up in a family of medical doctors and were very experienced in dealing with people. They also had a deeper understanding of medicine.

nLin Fan did not force Sun Luguo to accept his money for the item.

nHe also understood that Sun Luguo did not lack money.

nSun Luguo cared more about dignity.

nSun Luguo’s reminder was completely out of concern for him.

nHence, Lin Fan came up with an excuse. “I’m helping an elder to find the hundred-year spirit branch and hundred-year ginseng. I don’t care what they’re for. Since the elder needs them, I can only help him find them.

n“But I still have to thank you for your reminder. I’ll tell the elder about the medicinal theory of the hundred-year-old spirit branch.”

nSun Luguo nodded. “I’ll keep an eye out for hundred-year-old ginseng for you. If I find one, I’ll let you know.”

n“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble you for that!” Lin fan said.

n“It’s just a small matter. It’s not much trouble,” Sun Luguo said.

nLin Fan said seriously, “But this is important to me.”

nSun Luguo looked at his serious expression and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find it. It’s only a matter of time.”

nThen, the two of them chatted for a while more before they left.

nWhile walking along the forest path in the school, Lin Fan could not help but open the wooden box and look at the wood-like spirit branch inside.

nDing! Do you wish to collect the hundred-year-old spirit branch?

n“Yes!”

nImmediately, the spirit branch in the wooden box disappeared into thin air.

nAt the same time, the image of a small spirit branch appeared in the Medical Water Illustration Book in his mind.

nIt was very magical!

nLin Fan thought to himself, ‘As long as I can find the hundred-year-old ginseng, I’ll have the right to buy Medical Water.

n‘By then, Dad’s body should be able to recover completely!’

nDing! Ding!

nAt this moment, the time was exactly 12:00 p.m.

nLin Fan’s phone vibrated.

nRed packets appeared!

nDing! Congratulations, you’ve received 10,000 yuan.

nDing! Congratulations, you’ve received five yuan.

n…

nDing! Congratulations, you’ve received 2,000 yuan.

nDing! Congratulations, you’ve received one billion Sharkstream coins.

nDing! Congratulations, you’ve received three yuan.

nThis time, Lin Fan received a total of 40,000 yuan and one billion Sharkstream coins.

nSharkstream currency, also known as Shark currency, was the virtual currency of the largest live-streaming platform in the country, Sharkstream.

nOne yuan could be exchanged for 100 Sharkstream coins.

nOne billion Sharkstream coins were worth 10 million dollars!

n“Lin Fan, you’re here?” The counselor, Sun Yaodong, who had his hair swept back, walked over from a distance and called out.

n“Counselor, you were looking for me?” Lin Fan turned around and asked.

n“Oh, the National Mathematical Modeling Competition is about to start. Your ability is outstanding. How about you sign up? The honor of our class can only be won by you!” Sun Yaodong directly placed his hand on Lin Fan’s shoulder and said in a tone that seemed like he was talking to a friend.

nLin Fan thought to himself, ‘Could it be that he knows that I solved Zhou’s Conjecture?’

nThat was right. After all, Sun Yaodong was his counselor.

nAlthough it would be troublesome to participate in a competition and Lin Fan hated trouble, as a student of the university, he should make some contributions.

n“Alright, I’ll sign up!” Lin Fan nodded.

n“Hahaha! That’s great! As expected of my student! I’ll submit your name now!” After Sun Yaodong finished speaking, he quickly walked away.

nIt was as if he was afraid that Lin Fan would regret it.

nLin Fan looked at his back view and shook his head.

nWhen Lin Fan returned to the dormitory, Song Yi had just returned with a stack of mathematics materials.

n“Song Yi, I didn’t think you’d start to like studying,” Lin Fan said.

nSong Yi laughed. “There’s no choice. There’ll be a National Mathematical Modeling Competition soon. We’re outstanding men. We must sign up to win glory for our class!”

nMa Zhong, who was reading seriously, turned his head and said, “Did Counselor Sun say that?”

n“How do you know? It seems that you’ve also heard from Counselor Sun that I’m outstanding, right?” Song Yi said smugly. “Sigh, I’ve tried my best to keep a low profile. I didn’t expect that I would still be discovered.”

n“Today, Counselor Sun also said the same thing to me,” Ma Zhong said.

nZheng Jinbao, who was slurping his instant noodles, said, “Huh, when I bought the instant noodles, Counselor Sun also said that I’m outstanding and asked me to participate in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition.”

nMa Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao immediately looked at each other.

nLin Fan’s lips twitched.

nSo, Sun Yaodong was just going around telling students that they were outstanding and wanted them to bring glory to the university.

nThat way, he could trick the students to sign up for the National Mathematics Modeling Competition.

nWere all college counselors so sneaky?

nThe counselor’s tactics really made one speechless!
