Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 1278 This disease is good, this disease is amazing!

He's been so busy lately that he didn't even notice the results of his thesis defense until he came back and logged in to check them.

To put it bluntly, it's fortunate that he has connections at his school, with Professor Mu speaking on his behalf. He's almost certain to pass. Otherwise, if he hadn't passed, he would have missed the second round of defense and might have had to postpone his graduation.

"Ouch~ Ouch~~ Ouch!!!"

The group chatted about their experiences over the past few days in the studio when suddenly, Miss Yuan let out three sighs, each one heavier than the last.

"What's wrong, Sister Yuan? Why are you sighing?" Lin Mo asked, turning his head.

At this moment, Miss Yuan was sitting on the sofa eating snacks. There was already a pile of snack wrappers on the coffee table, indicating that she had just eaten quite a lot.

"These snack manufacturers are really something else! If they think they can't do it, they shouldn't do it at all. It's infuriating to even look at them!" Miss Yuan said, taking a sip of her 4-yuan iced tea.

That's right, as the weather gets hotter, iced tea is back in style. No wonder, it has a unique taste when chilled.

Although many people call it a "low-class drink," Miss Yuan doesn't care; she likes it, which is one of the reasons why she was able to rise to the top, easily integrate into their small group, and even become a core member.

She has absolutely no airs of a rich heiress, and when she makes friends, she doesn't consider social circles or class at all; she only cares about whether they get along. She's also very down-to-earth.

Even though her family was already quite well-off, she still enjoyed drinking cheap beverages like Snow King from roadside stalls, which cost only a few yuan.

In contrast, Liu Ruyan was different. Although she wasn't arrogant and was even quite easygoing when people met her, her appearance alone gave people the feeling that she was otherworldly and didn't need to worry about food or excrement, making her seem a bit aloof.

If you say she's pretentious, she certainly isn't; in fact, she even has a bit of a hooligan side in private. But if she were to be like Miss Yuan, she wouldn't be able to do it. After all, she still has some sense of shame, while Miss Yuan can be shameless and act like a complete child.

Lin Mo was a little confused when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan picked up the potato chips in her hand, then tore open the packaging in front of him, revealing only a few chips inside, and said, "Look, this packaging is so big, it's almost as big as my head, and there are only six chips inside, one, two, three, that's ridiculous!"

I'm speechless about this merchant. I bought a bag, and he even gave me two potato chips for free! He's so nice!

Lin Mo looked at the potato chips that weren't even enough for Miss Yuan to eat in one bite and couldn't help but laugh: "Oh dear, isn't this just the trick these days? Reduce the quantity but don't raise the price, but when you add it all up, it's more than twice as expensive as before!"

"It's not just now, some snacks from the past have changed too, like this Little Master instant noodles, look!"

As she spoke, Miss Yuan tore open a bag of Little Chef instant noodles, revealing the pitifully small noodle cake inside, and continued, "I'm just wondering, Little Chef, if you find this business a bit too much trouble, then let's just give it to Little Raccoon!"

If all else fails, you can sell it for one piece. Besides, the people who ate MasterChef are the same ones from back then. They've all grown up now, have a little money, and can afford it. If we sell such a small piece, foreigners will think we can't afford it!

That's so stingy! I'm so tired from unpacking a bowl of instant noodles, and I can't even finish eating them as fast as I unpack them.

How come the family fortune has shrunk so much despite being in charge of this business? Seriously, I've never felt that eating Master Boy could give me a feeling of luxury. At this rate, I feel like I'm eating luxury goods!

Everyone:

It has to be said that although Miss Yuan is a military general and her cursing is always at the C level, her cursing without using any vulgar words feels even dirtier than swearing!

But looking at the small pancake and the few potato chips, Lin Mo nodded: "Indeed, this is a bit too much. When I was a kid, I would shamelessly ask my classmates for some, and the piece they broke off was almost as big as this bag."

How about we call Chuanzi down and have him post a video to rant? He's such a big influencer now, his words still carry some weight. Even if he can't get Xiaodangjia to increase the amount of content, he can at least give us some freebies.

We should take advantage of having an internet celebrity around; that way, we can still enjoy unlimited snacks!

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoyue's eyes lit up immediately: "Hey? That's great, that's great! I'll skip the snacks, I want the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. I'll ask Chuanmei if she can give me some freebies!"

The class monitor even played some music, and she sang a heavily modified version of "If I Take You Away":

"You give me the house as a gift, and also a car~~ Pay in full, put it in my name, and give me all the credit cards too~~"

I don't really need much. All I want is a Maybach car. And a fully furnished Tomson Riviera apartment—that's all I need.

Everyone:

Miss Yuan clapped her hands and exclaimed, "So this is the most shameless one here!"

You should know that even for Miss Yuan's family, it wouldn't be easy to come up with what the class monitor just asked for, not to mention the bank cards as well.

The class monitor smiled slightly upon hearing this: "What's so special about this? If you're about to make a wish and you don't dare to ask for something big, how are you going to get rich?"

Lin Mo gave a thumbs up: "That's true, but it's a bit difficult for Chuanmei to send you all that with her current income."

unless"

He Xiaoyue: "Unless what?"

Lin Mo: "The World Cup has started recently, so unless he goes all in with his current savings and wins every time, by the time the World Cup is over, he can give us all the things you asked for, except for the bank cards!"

Class monitor:

Upon hearing this, Director Wang immediately perked up: "Hey? Speaking of the World Cup, Lao Mo, which team do you like? How about we play a little game?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo quickly raised his hand: "Stop, I don't watch the World Cup, okay? I don't even know which team is strong, so why would I watch it?"

Also, class monitor, could you limit Director Wang's allowance recently, so he doesn't just buy sports and lose everything? The class monitor nodded silently, indicating that he understood, while Director Wang looked like he was about to cry.

There was no way around it; although they liked watching different types of football in their dorm, Director Wang did indeed love football. During the last World Cup, he dragged Lao Zhao along to watch it, while he and Chuanmei had absolutely no interest.

As for betting on football? It's fine to buy a couple hundred dollars worth, but anything more is not recommended.

Just then, the studio's main door was suddenly pushed open, and the Sichuan girl walked in listlessly, carrying a bag of square-shaped paper-wrapped medicines.

"I'm here, brothers!" the Sichuan girl said weakly.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw this and looked at what he was holding. Lin Mo even asked, "What's wrong, Chuanzi? Are you feeling unwell? Did you go to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"

Hearing this, the Sichuan girl nodded: "Ever since I came back, I've felt something's not right. I went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, made an appointment, and the doctor prescribed some Chinese medicine for me to drink first!"

"What did the doctor say? Wait a minute, tell me if you're a TCM doctor, and I'll take you to see my teacher. You know how well I know about my connections in TCM," Lin Mo asked with some concern.

In response, Chuanmei sighed: "Well, I can't trouble you with everything, can I? I went to the First Hospital first, and they suggested I take some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my body. It's nothing serious, just a bit of depression!"

"Depression? You?" He Xiaoyue looked him up and down, somewhat disbelieving.

The class monitor patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can't say that. We who work in social media are a high-risk group for depression. It's good that we have depression. At least when Sichuan girl's scandal breaks, we won't have to worry about being cyberbullied. We'll have a reason to shift the blame."

"I'm really sick, really. If you don't believe me, look at the medicine the doctor prescribed for me," the woman from Sichuan said, opening the packets of traditional Chinese medicine she was holding.

The first packet: peanuts!

The second bag contains edamame!

The third package: braised beef!

The fourth package: roast duck leg!

The fifth package contains duck products!

Packet 20: Vegetables with dipping sauce

Several people:

Miss Yuan: ()

Everyone was speechless, except for Miss Yuan, whose eyes lit up with excitement. She exclaimed, "This disease is great! This disease is fantastic! We can get more of this disease!"

Lin Mo rolled her eyes upon hearing this: "If I'm not mistaken, isn't there also a box of medicinal ingredients?"

The Sichuan girl was taken aback: "How did you know!"

"Get out of here! You're just craving a drink, aren't you? Just say so if you want one, why go through all this trouble?" Lin Mo spat.

Upon hearing this, the Sichuan girl pulled a hospital diagnosis from her pocket and slammed it on the table: "I really went to the hospital, you liar!"

Everyone was taken aback. He Xiaoyue picked up the form and looked at it, but since none of them were professionals, she couldn't understand what was written on it. So she asked directly, "Just tell me what's going on!"

"The doctor said I have a muscle strain and I'll be fine after a few days of rest," the girl from Sichuan said.

It turned out that he found himself unable to get out of bed this morning, his whole body ached, and he didn't manage to get up until the afternoon. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the hospital for a check-up, since he was making money now and valued his life.

Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him: "So what does that have to do with depression, and what does it have to do with this 'traditional Chinese medicine'?"

Hearing this, the Sichuan girl smiled slightly: "Didn't the doctor say I just needed to rest for two days? I told him I'd been feeling a bit unhappy lately and suspected I had depression. The doctor recommended I go to the psychiatry department. I went, explained the situation to the doctor, and he told me to get lost!"

"Are you kidding me?! Li Shiya, a top-tier internet celebrity with millions of followers, do you think I'd put up with this? Because of you, Lao Mo, and out of trust in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I went to a TCM hospital and registered there. TCM hospitals are so good! They're amazing! The doctor there diagnosed me with depression on the spot and prescribed these medications based on my condition!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo quickly stood up: "Wait a minute, what's the name of the doctor who treated you?"

Sichuan girl: "Fan Peng! He says he's your senior brother, given our relationship, how could I not believe him?"

Lin Mo: "Then it's alright, he really is a miracle doctor!"

After saying that, Lin Mo stood up and took out his phone to call his senior brother Fan to inquire. He found that Chuanmei had actually gone, and the prescription was indeed written by his senior brother Fan Peng. He had thought that Chuanmei was just playing around with abstract ideas, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Immediately after hanging up the phone, he called his teacher, Professor Li.

"Hey, teacher, I think it's time for our lineage to clean house!"

Professor Li: ? ? ?
