Chapter 81: Professor Li
“Gulululu~ tui”
The next morning, Lin Mo was in the hotel bathroom washing up. At that moment, he stood before the mirror, baring his teeth and carefully examining the changes in them.
The reason for this was mainly because of the refreshed items on last night’s shopping page.
【Type 88 Sniper Rifle; same model as He Chenguang’s, trajectory veers left, rescue of bandits; ￥1.3】
【Yunnan Mountain Toothpaste, removes smoke stains, yellowing, tartar, whitens teeth in seven days, improves oral hygiene; ￥0.89】
【999 Fine Silver Ingot; 50 grams; ￥1.5】
【A box of small squid; ready to eat upon opening; ￥2.89】
Among the four items, they were fairly average—not disappointing, but certainly not as lucky as yesterday.
After a quick scan, Lin Mo decisively chose the toothpaste. Though he brushed his teeth every day, there was inevitably some residue left. It was still somewhat useful—at least better than those hot chicken noodles, right?
As for the first item, it was still stubbornly refreshing with firearms, but getting more and more abstract. Yesterday it was a sniper rifle caught by an eggplant, and today it was He Chenguang’s gun, with a trajectory that veered left. Even if the trajectory didn’t veer left, he still wouldn’t be able to hit anything.
Could ordinary people even use He Chenguang’s stuff? There were already plenty of jokes circulating online, like He Chenguang’s house, He Chenguang’s car—each one more absurd than the last.
After brushing, the toothpaste foam had clearly turned tea-yellow. When he finished, Lin Mo realized the effect was indeed pretty good—his teeth were indeed a little whiter than before.
As long as it worked, that was enough. Even though he didn’t have smoke stains, who wouldn’t want their teeth to be whiter?
When he came out, Professor Mu happened to be opening her door.
“Good morning, teacher. Are you heading out for exercise?” Lin Mo greeted her.
Hearing this, Professor Mu shook her head. “Not today. The hotel bed is too soft—it made me uncomfortable. I’m going to get some breakfast and rest afterward, otherwise I won’t have any energy. But thanks to you giving me that massage last night, I might not have even fallen asleep without it.”
Elderly people didn’t sleep long to begin with. After Lin Mo massaged her last night, she went to bed a little earlier, but woke up around three in the latter half of the night. Her body now felt a bit weary.
“As long as it helps. After breakfast, should I give you another massage?” Lin Mo suggested.
“Then I’ll trouble you again.”
“It’s nothing, teacher.”
With that, Professor Mu went to the cafeteria, while Lin Mo went out for a run. Exercise was all about consistency, though mainly, the effects of the Fuyang Post made him unwilling to slack off.
Half an hour later, Lin Mo returned to the hotel. After quickly finishing breakfast at the cafeteria, he went back to his room to shower. Feeling the warm sensation in his lower abdomen, he nodded in satisfaction.
He knew his own body. Though it had only been a few days, he could already feel his energy becoming more abundant than before.
Checking the time, he went out and knocked on Professor Mu’s door.
“Teacher, it’s me!”
“Xiao Lin, come in, the door’s unlocked.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo pushed the door open and saw Professor Mu sitting on the bed, gently massaging her waist.
“Young people really are better—so full of energy. Unlike us old folks, who can’t even exercise after a full day of meetings.”
Looking at her bright-eyed, energetic young assistant, the old lady couldn’t help but sigh at how wonderful youth was. No matter how much she took care of herself, there was simply no comparison.
Lin Mo smiled, washed his hands, and as he had done yesterday, gave Professor Mu a simple massage.
Half an hour later, Professor Mu stood up, stretching her limbs. With a look of delight, she praised:
“Xiao Lin, your massage skills are really something. I feel like you’re at the level of a professional doctor.”
“No, I’ve just figured it out myself,” Lin Mo said a little embarrassedly.
Though he knew his skills could indeed match hospital doctors, he wasn’t a doctor, nor had he studied the field, so of course he wouldn’t admit it.
“There’s no need to be so modest. If your teacher says you have the skill, you surely do.” After the massage, the old lady did feel much more refreshed.
Lin Mo checked the time and quickly reminded Professor Mu that it was almost time.
The two packed up briefly before heading out for the same venue as yesterday. Before leaving, Lin Mo even gave Professor Mu a cushion, telling her to place it behind her waist for support.
Just like yesterday, Lin Mo sat on the sofa outside the venue reading a book. From time to time, he glanced at his phone to see if there was any message from Miss Yuan.
He wanted to send a message to ask, but worried about seeming too impatient. After some thought, he held back. After all, though Miss Yuan had a bit of a temper, she was reliable in what she did.
Time passed quietly, and before long he had flipped to the last page of the book on massage and bone-setting.
“Phew~ finished.”
Lin Mo felt happy. Now he just had to find a chance to burn the book, and he would master more advanced massage and bone-setting techniques. It was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Even without burning it, he had memorized most of the book already. The Brain Platinum’s effect was quite good, though unfortunately, he had finished it yesterday.
If he could get a few more, he might even reach photographic memory.
“Young man, massage and bone-setting isn’t something you can just learn from books. You have to practice with your hands. I’ve read that book you’re holding—it’s so-so. If you’re interested, I recommend reading Fundamentals of Clinical Massage Therapy. It’s much more helpful for beginners.”
Lin Mo looked up to see an old man with a head full of white hair sitting beside him, watching him with a kindly expression.
“I was just reading it casually to pass the time,” Lin Mo replied with a smile as he closed the book.
The old man looked him up and down before speaking. “Judging from your age, you should still be in school, right? Which school? What major?”
“Jiangning University of Science and Technology, Computer Science.”
Old man: …
“Cough, cough… I see. In that case, never mind. That book is pretty good.”
Lin Mo: …
This old man’s standards were very flexible.
After that, the two didn’t say any more. The atmosphere felt a little awkward, but soon enough, the conference room doors opened and a crowd of professors poured out.
This time, Lin Mo went straight against the crowd into the conference room, intending to meet Professor Mu. As soon as he entered, he saw Professor Bai supporting the old lady out. Just as he was about to step forward, someone beat him to it.
“Your waist hurts again, doesn’t it? At your age, still thinking you’re young.”
The speaker was none other than the old man who had been sitting beside him earlier.
“I can manage. It’s the last day—just need to hold on. Right, this is the assistant Xiao Lin I mentioned.
Xiao Lin, this is my old man.” Professor Mu introduced.
Hearing this, Lin Mo felt a bit dramatic. What should he call him? Master’s wife’s husband? Grandmaster? Uncle?
Just as he was struggling, Professor Bai, perhaps seeing his awkwardness, explained:
“This is Professor Li from Jiangning Medical University—your teacher’s husband.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo gratefully glanced at Professor Bai, then quickly said: “Hello, Professor Li.”
“Ah, hello!” Li Chengyang nodded with a smile. He hadn’t expected this young man to be his wife’s student.
“Right, since you’re here, take a look at Xiao Lin later. He’s a bit weak—after a bit of exercise, he’s gasping for breath. Not even as good as me!” Professor Mu said, striking without mercy.
Professor Bai: →_→ (Wuhu, poor young man!)
Li Chengyang: →_→ (Young man, take it easy.)
Lin Mo: (┬﹏┬) (Completely defeated.)
