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

Of the four in Room 104, Ma Zhong had gone to the library.

Song Yi had also headed out early, while Zheng Jinbao remained fast asleep, snoring away.

After waking up, Lin Fan opened his phone.

Lin Fan casually marked the text message as read, then began scrolling through the news.

Buzz!

When the sun was high in the sky, Lin Fan's phone vibrated slightly.

A text message popped up.

Sun Luguo: Lin Fan, our family has acquired a century-old lingzhi. Are you at Jiangbei University right now? Seeing this...

Lin Fan's eyes lit up slightly.

He praised inwardly: As expected of a renowned pharmaceutical family in Jiang Province! Lin Fan: I am at Jiangbei University.

Sun Luguo: Alright, I'll arrive at the East Gate of Jiangbei University in about twenty minutes.

Putting down his phone, Lin Fan quickly got dressed and washed up.

Then, he walked straight toward the East Gate.

Before long, a white BMW Z5 parked in front of him.

Sun Luguo, wearing a plaid shirt, stepped out and said, "Lin Fan, sorry to keep you waiting."

Lin Fan said, "Not at all, I just got here."

"This is the century-old lingzhi my family acquired." Sun Luguo handed over an exquisitely packaged wooden box.

Lin Fan said, "You're really doing me a huge favor! By the way, how much is this lingzhi? I'll transfer the money to you right now!"

Sun Luguo waved his hands repeatedly and said, "If I took your money, wouldn't I be laughed to death by Jiaxin Jie and the others?"

Pausing for a moment, he offered a reminder: "Right, unlike ginseng and other herbs, lingzhi doesn't necessarily get more medicinal the older it is."

"Once lingzhi reaches a certain age, it gradually becomes woody. Usually, it can only be used for ornamental purposes and has no medicinal value to speak of."

Don't let Sun Luguo's street racing and rivalry with Liu Yuhang make him look like a typical spoiled rich kid.

In fact, growing up in a pharmaceutical family, their conduct and social acumen were very seasoned, and they had a deep understanding of medicinal herbs.

Lin Fan did not overly insist on paying him.

He also understood that Sun Luguo was not short on money.

Sun Luguo cared more about saving face.

And Sun Luguo's reminder was entirely out of genuine concern for him.

Therefore, Lin Fan fabricated an excuse and said, "I'm looking for a century-old lingzhi and a century-old ginseng for an elder. I don't care what the purpose is; since the elder needs them, I can only do my best to find them."

"However, I still want to thank you for the reminder. I will pass on the pharmacology of the century-old lingzhi to the elder."

Sun Luguo nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye out for a century-old ginseng for you as well. If I find one, I'll let you know."

Lin Fan said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you!"

"It's just a small matter, no trouble at all," Sun Luguo said.

Lin Fan said earnestly, "Still, this is very important to me."

Seeing the serious look on his face, Sun Luguo said, "Don't worry, we'll definitely find it. It's just a matter of time."

After that, the two chatted for a bit longer before parting ways.

Walking along the campus's tree-lined path, Lin Fan couldn't help opening the wooden box to glance at the wood-textured lingzhi resting inside.

Ding! Collect the century-old lingzhi?

"Yes!"

Instantly, the lingzhi lying inside the wooden box directly vanished out of thin air.

At the same time, a small lingzhi pattern appeared on the Medical Water illustrated guide within his mind.

How magical!

Lin Fan thought to himself: As long as I find a century-old ginseng, I'll have the authorization to purchase medical water.

By then, Dad's health should be able to recover completely!

"Ding!"

At that moment, the time hit precisely 12:00.

Lin Fan's phone vibrated slightly.

Red envelopes appeared!

"Ding! Congratulations, you obtained 10,000 yuan."

"Ding! Congratulations, you obtained 5 yuan."

"Ding! Congratulations, you obtained 2,000 yuan."

"Ding! Congratulations, you obtained 1 billion Shark Livestream coins."

"Ding! Congratulations, you obtained 3 yuan."

This time, Lin Fan obtained a total of over 40,000 yuan and 1 billion Shark Livestream coins.

Shark Livestream coins, abbreviated as Shark Coins, were the virtual currency of Shark Livestream, the largest livestreaming platform in the country.

1 yuan could be exchanged for 100 Shark Coins.

1 billion Shark Coins was equivalent to 10 million yuan!"Lin Fan, so you're here?" Counselor Sun Yaodong, wearing a slicked-back hairstyle, walked over from a distance and called out.

Lin Fan turned around and asked with a puzzled look, "Counselor, are you looking for me?"

"Oh, it's like this. The National Mathematical Modeling Contest is about to start. Your abilities are outstanding, so how about signing up for it? The honor of our class can only depend on you!" Sun Yaodong threw an arm around Lin Fan's shoulder, speaking in the tone of a buddy negotiating a deal.

Lin Fan thought: Could it be that he found out about me solving Zhou's Conjecture?

That made sense, too, since Sun Yaodong was his counselor after all.

Although participating in competitions and such would definitely be troublesome.

Lin Fan hated trouble.

Still, as a member of the class, he ought to make some contributions to it.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll sign up!"

"Haha! That's great! As expected of my student! I'll submit your name right now!" After saying that, Sun Yaodong hurried away toward the distance in long strides.

That appearance made it look as though he was afraid Lin Fan might regret it.

Lin Fan watched his retreating figure and shook his head slightly.

When Lin Fan returned to his dorm, Song Yi happened to have just walked back carrying a stack of mathematics materials.

Lin Fan said, "Song Yi, I never expected you to start loving study, too."

Song Yi laughed smugly and said, "Can't help it, the National Mathematical Modeling Contest is being held soon, and since my abilities are outstanding, I naturally have to sign up and win glory for the class!"

Ma Zhong, who was studying intently, turned his head around and said, "These words... wouldn't happen to have been said by Counselor Sun, right?"

"How did you know? Looks like Counselor Sun told you about my outstanding abilities as well, huh?" Song Yi said proudly, "Sigh, I've tried my best to keep a low profile, but I never expected people to discover it anyway."

Ma Zhong said, "Today, Counselor Sun said the exact same thing to me."

Zheng Jinbao, who was slurping down instant noodles, chimed in, "Huh, when I went to buy instant noodles just now, Counselor Sun also said my abilities were outstanding and asked me to sign up for the National Mathematical Modeling Contest."

Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao exchanged blank stares.

The corners of Lin Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

As it turned out, whenever Sun Yaodong saw any student in his class, he would tell them their abilities were outstanding and ask them to win glory for the class.

Then, he would sweet-talk the students into signing up for the national modeling contest?

Are college counselors' moves all this wild?

The counselor's wildness has snapped my waist! PS: Welcome to read my completed book "Super Red Envelope Immortal Group".
