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

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

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

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

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

    [Notice from Merchant Bank: 710,200 yuan has been deposited into your account.]

    [Name: Lin fan]

    [Level: LV4]

    [Level 4 reward: 10 yuan for every breath; 10 yuan for every second of sleep; 10 yuan for every step taken. Rewards are distributed at 12 a.m. daily.]

    [Funds: 16.01 million.]

    Lin Fan casually marked the message as read

    and then started to read the news.

    Ding! Ding!

    When the sun was high up in the sky, Lin

    Fan’s phone vibrated.

    A text message popped up.

    Sun Luguo: [Lin Fan, our family just bought a

    100-year-old spirit branch. Are you at

    Jiangbei University now?]

    Seeing this, he was startled.

    Lin Fan’s eyes lit up.

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

    Lin Fan replied: [I’m at Jiangbei University.]

    Sun Luguo replied: [Okay, I’ll be at the east gate of Jiangbei University in about 20

    minutes.]

    After Lin Fan put down his phone, he quickly

    got dressed and washed up.

    Then, he walked toward the east gate.

    Not long after, a white BMW Z5 stopped in

    front of him.

    Sun Luguo, who was wearing a plaid shirt, came down and said, “Lin Gan, sorry to have

    kept you waiting.”

    Lin Fan said, “No, I just arrived.”

    “This is the century-old spirit branch that my

    family received.” Sun Luguo handed over an exquisitely wrapped wooden box.

    “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!”

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

    “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.

    “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.”

    Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang often raced and fought each other, it made them look like

    playboys.

    In 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.

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

    He also understood that Sun Luguo did not lack money.

    Sun Luguo cared more about dignity.

    Sun Luguo’s reminder was completely out of

    concern for him.

    Hence, 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. “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.”

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

    “If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble

    you

    for that!” Lin fan said.

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

    Lin Fan said seriously, “But this is important

    to me.”

    Sun Luguo looked at his serious expression

    and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find it. It’s only a matter of time.”

    Then, the two of them chatted for a while

    more before they left.

    While 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.

    [Ding! Do you wish to collect the hundred-year-old spirit branch?]

    “Yes!”

    Immediately, the spirit branch in the wooden

    box disappeared into thin air.

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

    It was very magical!

    Lin Fan thought to himself, ‘As long as I can

    find the hundred-year-old ginseng, I’ll have the right to buy Medical Water.

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

    completely!’

    Ding! Ding!

    At this moment, the time was exactly 12:00

    p.m.

    Lin Fan’s phone vibrated.

    Red packets appeared! [Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 10,000 yuan.]

    [Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received five

    yuan.]

    [Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 2,000

    yuan.]

    [Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received one billion Sharkstream coins.]

    [Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received three

    yuan.]

    This time, Lin Fan received a total of 40,000 yuan and one billion Sharkstream coins. Sharkstream currency, also known as Shark currency, was the virtual currency of the

    largest live-streaming platform in the country, Sharkstream.

    One yuan could be exchanged for 100 Sharkstream coins.

    One billion Sharkstream coins were worth 10

    million dollars!

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

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

    Lin Fan thought to himself, ‘Could it be that he knows that I solved Zhou’s Conjecture?’ That was right. After all, Sun Yaodong was his counselor.

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

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

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

    Lin Fan looked at his back view and shook his head. When Lin Fan returned to the dormitory, Song Yi had just returned with a stack of

    mathematics materials.

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

    Song 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!”

    Ma Zhong, who was reading seriously, turned

    his head and said, “Did Counselor Sun say

    that?”

    “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.”

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

    Zheng 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.’ Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao

    immediately looked at each other. Lin Fan’s lips twitched.

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

    That way, he could trick the students to sign

    up for the National Mathematics Modeling

    Competition. Were all college counselors so sneaky? The counselor’s tactics really made one

    speechless!
