Chapter 75: It’s Not Like We Haven’t Beaten Them Before
After several days, he finally shipped something out again, and Lin Mo was so excited he could hardly contain himself.
After all, in the first two days when the shopping page had just opened, it had given out valuable things—ginseng, sports cars, and the like—but back then he thought it was fake and didn’t pick them.
By the time he actually wanted them, they were gone, and he could only choose items beneficial to his health or some skills.
But no matter how one put it, what he wanted most right now was still money. If it weren’t for the facial cleanser working so well, letting him get his first bucket of gold from those two rich women, he would still be dirt poor now.
Don’t be fooled by him wearing a watch worth hundreds of thousands and driving a car of the same value—neither the car nor the watch was really his, and he couldn’t spend them as cash.
The money in his hand was only a bit over two hundred thousand, far from the level of financial freedom he dreamed of.
Luckily, heaven rewarded the patient—his wait finally paid off.
He had checked online, and Angong Niuhuang Pills from before 1993 were selling for a very high price now. In fact, at an auction in the capital, one had been sold for 360,000, close to 400,000 yuan.
If he sold these two pills, plus what he already had, he could easily become a millionaire.
Although he saw online that there were many imitations of this medicine nowadays, he wasn’t worried in the slightest—his were 100% genuine.
And the only reason these pills were being driven up to such prices was that there were too many fakes and too few genuine ones.
Without hesitation, he placed the order, and instantly, two green brocade boxes appeared in his hands.
Opening one, he saw a wax-sealed pellet. Inside the beeswax was, unsurprisingly, a pill wrapped in gold foil. He didn’t touch it—this thing was far too expensive.
After carefully putting the boxes away, Lin Mo jumped down from the bed, grabbed the big bottle of mineral water from the desk, and took a huge gulp.
“爽！Hahaha!”
“My sons, where are you? Call me daddy, and tomorrow I’ll treat you to a feast!”
Lin Mo shouted loudly at the two who were gaming. This time, he was full of confidence, leaving them both stunned.
“Aren’t you supposed to go work as Professor Mu’s temporary assistant tomorrow?” Wang Chu spoke up.
Lin Mo: …
“Cough, cough, then let’s talk about it in a few days!”
With that, he hurried back onto his bed. Damn it, his act didn’t land—how embarrassing.
Seeing him swagger down so confidently, only to slink back in defeat, Wang Chu and Sichuan Girl exchanged a glance.
“Uh, what’s wrong with Old Mo? Wasn’t I the one who just got dumped? Why does it feel like he’s the one who took the hit?” Wang Chu asked, baffled.
Sichuan Girl thought for a moment before saying, “The weather’s hot, people are restless. Maybe Old Mo’s just craving women.
Hey, Old Mo, want some toilet paper?”
“Get lost!”
Hearing Lin Mo’s voice coming from behind his bed curtain, Sichuan Girl finally relaxed. That was the right vibe—if he didn’t get cursed at once a day, he felt uncomfortable.
The next day, Lin Mo got up early to wash up, then went to the sports field for his daily exercise.
Maybe because he was too tired yesterday, Wang Chu didn’t get up. He had shouted slogans loudly, but his willpower was average.
Professor Mu wasn’t at the track either today. The old lady had a meeting, so she hadn’t woken up early. She only told Lin Mo to come meet her at the faculty residential building at 7:30.
That area was where the old professors lived. Young teachers rarely stayed on campus—they usually lived outside.
But living on campus made commuting easier for the elderly professors and let them enjoy the academic atmosphere and the convenient facilities.
Even without Professor Mu today, Lin Mo still did his run, arm swings, and stance training without skipping a thing.
He had breakfast, then packed two portions to take back for his two “sons.”
By 7:30, he was already standing at the gate of the faculty residential compound.
“Hello, are you Student Lin Mo?”
As soon as he arrived, a middle-aged man in a white shirt came forward.
“Hello, I am,” Lin Mo nodded.
“That’s right then. I’m Wang Jianshu, Professor Mu’s driver for today. Let’s just wait here.”
“Hello, Brother Wang!”
Lin Mo stepped forward to shake hands. They exchanged a few polite words and then chatted casually by the car.
Before long, Professor Mu appeared, dressed like an old cadre, carrying a suitcase.
Before Lin Mo could react, Brother Wang jogged over and took the suitcase from her hand.
Seeing this, Lin Mo felt a little useless. Brother Wang was clearly sharp and attentive. He himself needed more practice—after all, wasn’t this supposed to be his job?
“Ah, Xiao Lin, you’re here. Did you bring everything? We’ll be staying in the city tonight and won’t return until tomorrow afternoon,” Professor Mu said with a smile, holding an old-style thermos.
Lin Mo nodded. “I brought everything, Professor Mu. You look especially energetic today.”
He didn’t pack much—just a change of clothes, a backpack, his phone charger, the Massage and Bone Setting volume, two doses of Brain Platinum, toiletries, and of course, the two Angong Niuhuang Pills.
The pills were too valuable—he wouldn’t feel safe leaving them behind. More importantly, he had arranged to meet Miss Yuan, planning to let her help him “digest” them.
After all, ordinary people couldn’t afford such things. Miss Yuan was an excellent candidate. At the very least, she could help him find a buyer.
If he went looking for one himself, he wouldn’t even know where to start. If he asked around carelessly, he might even get tricked. Better to hand them to someone familiar—after all, such things definitely existed in reality.
Having been complimented by a young man, the old lady was clearly in a good mood. She immediately felt she had chosen the right assistant.
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, regularly looking at handsome men and beautiful women helped with longevity, since good moods promoted circulation.
Especially after exercising with him these past few days, she felt she had gained at least one more day of life.
The three of them got into the car. Professor Mu sat in the back seat with her eyes closed, while Lin Mo sat in the passenger seat.
Brother Wang drove steadily, the ride almost without bumps. Seeing that Professor Mu was resting, neither Lin Mo nor Wang spoke.
But Wang Jianshu was quite impressed by this new assistant.
Not only was he good-looking, but the watch on his wrist screamed “rich second generation.” Wang couldn’t help but sigh—having money was really nice.
The car headed toward the city in silence.
Over an hour later, they finally arrived.
After handing Professor Mu’s suitcase to Lin Mo, Brother Wang said, “Student Lin Mo, Professor Mu is in your hands now. If anything comes up, contact me.” He then handed him a business card.
Lin Mo nodded and accepted it. Brother Wang then drove off, leaving the hotel entrance.
“Professor Mu, finally you’re here! Without you around, we had no backbone!”
Before Lin Mo could react, a middle-aged bald man in a suit came rushing over, showering Professor Mu with compliments.
“It’s just an exchange meeting. Why are you so tense? Where’s Old Sun?”
As she spoke, she walked inside with the man.
The man gave a bitter smile. “Professor Sun has already arrived. I just feel this time is unusual. Even the Americans have come. Without some heavyweight figures on our side, we all feel unsettled.”
Hearing this, Professor Mu glared at him. “So what? It’s not like we haven’t beaten them before!”
Lin Mo: …
