Descendants of the Divine Doctor from the Mountain Village

After finishing the local news, Qin Luming switched the playback source. The TV began to cycle through programs stored based on his set keywords, including online videos, social media updates, and more.

"A 28-year-old man surnamed Long, who had been dating his 23-year-old girlfriend for less than three months, discovered she was extremely addicted to online novels. Not only did she often stay up late reading, but she also constantly used dramatic lines from novels in her daily conversations. She even demanded that Long cooperate with her and expected him to act like a novel's male protagonist. He was also required to kiss her awake every morning. During one such morning, Long discovered his girlfriend had extremely foul breath, leading him to suspect she had a serious gastrointestinal illness. After Long persuaded her, she went for a medical examination and her gastrointestinal tumor was discovered and treated early. After her recovery, the girlfriend broke up with Long. Long, meanwhile, developed a side hustle diagnosing cancer symptoms by smelling people's breath, earning over ten thousand yuan a month."

This was a news report about bad breath, and it didn't contain any unusual information. The possibility of this "girlfriend" being a transmigrator was very small.

Qin Luming also gained some inspiration and conceived of a story about a young male protagonist who was a city doctor capable of diagnosing illnesses by smelling people's breath.

The protagonist could come from a mountain village, giving him a simple and pure aura that would contrast with the other person's breath, thus validating his ability.

The protagonist first takes a train... No, that was the mode of transport used by protagonists leaving their villages in earlier years. Now it should be a high-speed train.

The protagonist takes a high-speed train. Given his mountain village background and the thousand yuan for travel expenses left by his deceased old master, he shouldn't be able to afford a business class seat. So how would he meet the rich young lady in business class?

Perhaps the author could contrive a situation where there was an empty seat in business class, and the protagonist takes it... Qin Luming wasn't that considerate, so he had to arrange for a passenger in business class to suddenly fall ill. The high-speed train would then broadcast a call for any available doctors, and the protagonist would naturally find himself in the business class section.

This passenger who falls ill could be depicted as older, making it easier to assign a background identity and use it as foreshadowing. This kind of foreshadowing could be casually laid down, to be used or not depending on future plot developments... The protagonist cures the passenger, who is grateful. The protagonist refuses any other rewards but accepts the passenger's offer to upgrade his seat. Thus, the protagonist gets a seat, right next to the rich young lady.

The rich young lady could be related to the passenger, or not, or merely know him... Still for the sake of casual foreshadowing, the young lady speaks to the protagonist. The protagonist smells a strange odor from her breath, which he mistakes for... No, he smells a peculiar odor and warns the young lady that she might have a gynecological issue requiring timely treatment.

Why is it so magical that he can tell she has a gynecological problem just by smelling her breath? Is there a problem with that? No.

The young lady is still a maiden. Shouldn't the protagonist smell something inexplicable like "the pure fragrance of a virgin"? The young lady becomes furious, and a conflict arises between them.

Readers enjoy watching characters who initially oppose each other, then gradually develop feelings and intimacy, right?

After the protagonist's initial progress, he goes to university, coincidentally attending the same school as the young lady, who is his senior.

Why should she be a senior? Because many things require balance. The protagonist has an advantage over the young lady in terms of medical skills, while as a senior, she can hold a guiding position relative to the protagonist within the school. This is all to create conflict, contradictions, and drive the plot.

Thinking this, Qin Luming stopped. He was just brainstorming and had no intention of actually writing such a story.

"Brother Qin, time to eat." Zuozuo walked over and stepped on Qin Luming's toes.

The little girl's toes were soft, and stepping on the plush carpet left shallow footprints that extended towards him. She was as lively as a little rabbit in winter, fearless of even the big bad wolf and the hunter as she trod on the snow.

Qin Luming went to the small dining area closest to the kitchen. Caicai lifted the lids off the serving dishes: blanched spinach with garlic, lobster and sea urchin ear pasta, and beef tenderloin with foie gras and black truffles. Three simple dishes were portioned onto three individual plates.

Qin Luming once again had sparkling water with his meal. Zuozuo wanted to drink rice wine, and Caicai poured a pot of sake. A peach blossom with a missing petal was on the pot. Cai Cai looked at it for ten seconds, then said the peach blossom resembled Zuozuo.

Zuozuo held the rice wine with both hands, sipping it carefully in small mouthfuls, ignoring Caicai's provocation. She was just losing a baby tooth; it would grow back tomorrow.

After dinner, Qin Luming watched television for a while longer before going to take a bath.

The hot water was ready. Qin Luming put on swimming trunks and stepped into the bathtub. As he crouched down, the hot water surged, soaking his skin. The heat seemed to penetrate his pores, and he couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

"Brother Luming, I'll help you scrub your back," Caicai said from outside the bathroom.

"Come in."

Caicai pushed the door open. Qin Luming didn't turn around. Locking the door was not very meaningful in this house. Both little girls had special abilities, and they were not children who had grown up receiving ordinary family education in a normal household. As a boy, Qin Luming also needed to be mindful of protecting himself at all times.

So, he had the foresight to wear swimming trunks. He would be showering again soon anyway, and he could rinse the traditional three key areas in the shower room.

Caicai entered the bathroom and began to scrub Qin Luming's back.

"What are you using to scrub my back?" Qin Luming felt something was off.

"A new broom!"

"Get out."

"I washed the broom clean!" Caicai emphasized loudly.

"Out!"

"Okay."

Qin Luming continued to soak. He was used to such incidents. He didn't treat Zuo Zuo and Cai Cai as maids to be ordered around... Although they often did the housework, for Qin Luming, the two little girls were like parts of his own body, making it difficult for him to harbor any lewd thoughts or satisfy any desires. He viewed them more like sisters.

Scenes of beautiful girls serving him while he bathed were just fantasies... They wouldn't refuse to scrub his back, but Qin Luming didn't have such a need. Moreover, their thought processes often jumped around. Just like Cai Cai bringing a broom to scrub his back earlier, what was she thinking? Qin Luming no longer tried to understand.

After his bath, Qin Luming washed his hair, rinsed himself off, and put on shorts and a bathrobe. He glanced at the living room downstairs, where the two girls were sitting side-by-side on the sofa, watching television with identical expressions of surprise. Qin Luming then walked towards the study.

He hadn't lied to Ma Shilong; he was indeed a web novel writer, but his purpose for writing wasn't to make money... He merely wanted to explore the bizarre and unexplainable phenomena happening to him and around him, things that couldn't be explained by known Earth science.
