Chapter 526 - 291: Introducing a Money-Making Expert to You (Part 2)
It turns out, this is the latest wilderness exploration vehicle developed by Fox Mountain, specifically designed to venture into the wilds to search for new herbs.
The wheels are particularly large, with ripples, capable of adapting to various extreme terrains, and they can even function as propellers in water!
Most importantly, there’s a giant foxtail grass on the roof, arching down and always pointing in the direction of Fox Mountain!
After all, the wilderness is immensely vast. If you venture too deep, you might get lost and never find your way back.
With this giant foxtail grass, no matter how far you roam, you can always find your way home.
...
The heavy rain in West State City has been on and off, stopping and starting again.
The roads are already flooded, and the air is getting colder.
In the laboratory, a group of students tightened the buttons on their coats, busily inputting literature into the computer.
Bai Mo sat nearby, sipping hot tea, watching the screen, with the mouse wheel scrolling quickly.
"Reading electronic copies of the literature is just so comfortable."
As Wan Bocheng and others joined in, the input speed suddenly increased.
Up to this point, ninety percent of the literature had been successfully entered.
While Bai Mo was reading, he opened the illustrations in the document.
These were hand-drawn sketches by Professor Ye, scanned and uploaded. Originally dim in color, they were brightened by Lan Fangfang using Photoshop, making the textures of different parts clear, more realistic, more vivid, and easier to read.
Bai Mo examined a few details closely, and a few vague knowledge points in his mind became clearer and more distinct.
The fox disciple Wind Chasing Claw, after serving his master tea, nestled in his master’s lap.
He doesn’t look at the literature!
Compared to his fellow disciples, he is quite straightforward; if he doesn’t understand, he doesn’t pretend to.
He much prefers snuggling in his master’s lap, nuzzling and nudging his master!
With every nuzzle, his face radiated happiness.
As Bai Mo continued reading, he rubbed the fox disciple’s plump belly, occasionally correcting mistakes, finishing a page before going back to review the index organized by Wan Bocheng and others.
Scanning from beginning to end, he recollected the knowledge he had learned in the present world, the knowledge from dreams, and his own observations. The fog of ignorance surrounding the "leaf" domain in his mind dissipated, and the framework of knowledge became clearer, its flesh and feathers more substantial... Finally, he closed the reading software and smiled slightly.
Knowledge, perfected!
Yet he had never seen the Super Immortal Grass of the Leaf Domain, nor the Primordial Immortal Qi of the Leaf Domain.
Just one look, and he could condense the vessel!
Nearby, the old professor watched Lan Fangfang as she retouched the images.
"How do you know that the leaf cross-section is this color?
"I didn’t draw it like that, did I?"
Lan Fangfang maximized the minimized browser and pointed to a video for him to see.
"Look, I found this on the video site."
In 4K high-definition video, one can clearly see the cross-section of this ginkgo leaf.
Professor Ye was suddenly enlightened and burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, well done!
"You’ve shown great diligence in your academic pursuit!
"Ahem...
He turned to look at Wan Bocheng, Guan Yue Ling, and the other students, watching them as they had finished their entries, now reviewing and proofreading on their screens again.
"Children, there is no need to proofread anymore.
"Expert Bai Mo has already reviewed all your entries.
"Any errors were corrected by him on the go.
"In fact, you didn’t have many errors.
"Well... some were your mistakes, and some were actually mistakes in my original work, hehe.
"Expert Bai Mo has already corrected everything.
"Your task is perfectly completed!
"I’ll go to the administrative office to arrange credits and work-study grants for you.
"You can leave now, go do what you need to do, don’t hang around my lab."
The students looked at each other, all smiles.
Turning to look at Professor Ye, they saw that the old man surprisingly had a kind and gentle demeanor.
"Professor, we’ll take our leave now."
"Goodbye!"
"Expert Bai Mo, come with us!"
"The Immortal Beast too!"
"Let’s tidy up first."
Everyone packed up their computers and gathered up the professor’s notebooks and hand-drawn sketches, setting them neatly in place.
With laughter and cheer, they left the laboratory.
Bam!
The door closed.
The joyful sounds in the lab instantly vanished.
Wang Pengpeng and seven or eight other early-arriving grad students sat at their computers, looking at each other.
They still had piles of notebooks that hadn’t been entered, and literature unfinished on their computers... Was the old professor confused? The work wasn’t done, why let those undergraduates go?
Just then, the old professor closed the door, turned around, and the kind and gentle demeanor crumbled instantly, as if it had all been an act, and he coldly faced Wang Pengpeng and the others.
"What are you waiting for?
"Waiting for them to come back and finish your work?
"Do you have any sense of shame left?
"Huh?
"Stop dawdling, get to work!"
...
In the private room of the restaurant.
Dozens of classmates divided into three tables, happily feasting.
"Ah, this roast lamb is so crispy and tender."
"Rainy days are perfect for eating dry and fragrant foods."
"Expert Bai Mo is treating us, everyone, help yourselves."
"Fangfang, could you pass me that kind of dipping sauce?"
"Haha, I figured it out, there’s almond cookie in this dipping sauce."
Wan Bocheng wiped the corner of his mouth.
"Expert Bai Mo, you’re really generous.
"Wu Qingyun, you practice martial arts, eat more to replenish your strength!
"I’m just a scholar, not a big fan of lamb, I can’t eat much, can’t really keep up with you guys, hahaha."
Bai Mo twitched his mouth. If the pile of bones in front of Wan Bocheng wasn’t as tall as the one he and Wu Qingyun created, he might have believed him...
In the whole gathering, Wan Bocheng was the second most voracious eater.
The first was not human; it was the fox disciple Wind Chasing Claw, an Immortal Beast, chomping on a sheep leg while sitting in Bai Mo’s lap!
"Expert Bai Mo, your classmates... they consume quite a bit too..."
Taking the opportunity while tagging along for a free meal, Mo Lanyou commented with slight surprise.
"This meal must cost quite a bit, right?"
Mo Lanyou was chomping on kebabs with some envy.
Bai Mo took a sip of hot soup, glanced at Mo Lanyou.
"I heard that the first batch of large-scale production of Array Inspection Grass is nearing completion and about to be launched.
"With such a large-scale project, you must have earned a lot of bonuses."
Mo Lanyou smiled wryly.
"Nonsense!
"This project separates research and production responsibilities, and I’m only in charge of research.
"Though the production scale is huge, the research scale is not!
"Besides... the research process exceeded the budget three times, requiring additional funds three times... I’m broke anyway.
"I’d love to give bonuses to the participating staff, but there’s nothing to give.
"This lamb restaurant is great, what’s the average cost per person?
"Perhaps I could treat my staff here for a meal?"
Bai Mo took out his phone and showed Mo Lanyou the menu.
Mo Lanyou’s face froze, then he said no more about it, concentrating on eating the lamb skewers.
Bai Mo gave him a suggestion.
"Why don’t you find a distribution agent, make a civilian version to sell, and recoup some funds, would that work?"
Mo Lanyou shook his head.
"This product is meant for public testing.
"How could we create a civilian version?"
That’s true... the Immortal Committee’s plan is to provide free testing to the public.
Since it’s free, who would pay to buy one?
Bai Mo smacked his lips, pondered for a moment, then suddenly said.
"Hold on a moment, I’ll ask a friend for you."
He took out his phone and sent a message to Master Chong inquiring about this matter.
[I have a friend...]
[... Is there any way to make money from this?]
Master Chong has many tricks and wild ideas; perhaps he could think of a way to help Mo Lanyou make some money?
As soon as the message was sent, Master Chong replied instantly!
[Wow!]
[Expert Bai Mo, you truly are a God of Wealth, hahaha]
[Another big money-making opportunity is here!]
[Are you with Expert Mo? Where are you? I’ll come right over!]
Making a fortune?
How could they make a fortune out of this?
Though Master Chong is unpredictable, he’s not bad-hearted. Surely he wouldn’t suggest a bad idea.
Bai Mo furrowed his brows but still sent his location to Master Chong.
He glanced at Mo Lanyou again.
"Wait a moment, I’ll introduce you to an expert in this field!"
