The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 243 - 243 242 Younger Sister

243: Chapter 242: Younger Sister 243: Chapter 242: Younger Sister Xiao Yanzhu immediately became unhappy—not just unhappy, but very angry, and even she herself didn’t expect the Qi Force to rush to her head so quickly.

She pulled a long face and said to Huang Shun, “Professor Huang!

Please watch your language!

Your words should match the education you’ve received.

Besides, even if Mr.

Liu doesn’t have a pile of titles and certificates, his abilities are definitely ten thousand times stronger than yours, you sycophant!”

These words almost scared Jia Chen’s glasses off.

In his view, Xiao Yanzhu was as gentle as a cup of lukewarm water—never cold and certainly not scalding.

But today’s display had genuinely surprised him.

Liu Hun shared the same impression as Jia Chen; he too was taken aback.

Huang Shun was slightly stunned; he hadn’t expected this usually docile Persian cat to bite so painfully.

His face had been licked back and forth in an attempt to curry favor, and thinking about it now, he felt that spreading the word would be utterly shameful.

Now that the anger was out, he knew he had to regain face.

“Clap, clap, clap!” Huang Shun suddenly clapped his hands loudly and then shouted towards the doctoral and master’s students who were already looking this way, “Come on, come on!

Everyone gather around!”

“Huang Shun!

What are you trying to do?!” Xiao Yanzhu glared at Huang Shun angrily.

She no longer wanted to address Huang Shun with the title “Professor,” as that would be an insult to the word itself.

“Hmph!

What am I trying to do!

Let’s take a good look, everybody, and see how this farmer you brought here is better than me!

What gives him the right to act all high and mighty around me!” Huang Shun said harshly to Xiao Yanzhu.

He originally thought Xiao Yanzhu had some amazing trump card, genuinely believing she was keeping two kings and four twos up her sleeve, only to find out it was just a farmer—a useless three of spades!

The gathered doctoral and master’s students were very well aware of the project’s obstacles.

They had heard bits and pieces of the professors’ arguments and knew that the success of the project would be extremely beneficial to them.

Of course, failure would be a waste of their time and effort.

So, they were all very concerned.

With the entire laboratory’s crowd now gathered, and Xiao Yanzhu and Huang Shun at loggerheads, Jia Chen didn’t know how to play the peacemaker.

He just looked at Liu Hun with a deeply worried expression—an expression like that of a poor farmer hoping for a bountiful harvest from a patch of meager land.

Huang Shun glanced at Liu Hun, reckoning him to be an influenza virus that couldn’t possibly mutate—not even worth mentioning antibiotics.

Left in the air, he’d be dead in two seconds.

“Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, this experimental project has reached a certain stage.

I, Huang Shun, won’t say much more.

This project was initiated by Professor Xiao, and we have followed it to the current dead end!

Trapping me, Huang Shun, isn’t a big deal.

But you!

All of you!” Huang Shun said, looking as if he was about to grab his tears and snot in one gesture, his expression almost sorrowful for the lost talents of the nation’s young generation.

“Ah!

You have such bright futures ahead of you!

And yet here you are, wasting your youth and talent, casting an indelible stain on your own futures.

I feel heartbroken for you!

Truly, my heart aches!” Huang Shun said, actually beating his chest a few times, rivaling the pain of a heart attack victim.

Everyone knew that Huang Shun was famously dramatic at the academy, and some jokingly thought he wouldn’t even need Li An; any third-rate director could get an Oscar out of him.

No doctoral student gave him any attention.

But the new master’s students were like fresh recruits, confused and worried, so one of them couldn’t help speaking up, “Professor Huang, you…

don’t be too pessimistic.

Professor Xiao said she’s brought in reinforcements!

A very impressive person!”

“Yeah!

Could it be an expert from some renowned laboratory?

Maybe they could revive the project!” Another student chimed in, unable to hold back.

“Hmph!

I know you’re all hopeful!” Huang Shun said with a ‘the show’s about to start’ look on his face, then pointed at Liu Hun and announced, “Now, I have the honor of introducing to you, Professor Xiao’s big!

Shot!

Guest!!”

Everyone turned their attention to Liu Hun, scouring their memories for familiar faces from top academic journals, and a few who hadn’t paid much attention to their reading actually mistook Liu Hun for someone else.

“Liu Hun!

Mr.

Liu!

Throughout my whole life, I’ve never heard of any…” Huang Shun said, pressing a finger to his forehead, taking a long time before saying, “farmer from Wanbao Village!

I only have one question—have you even finished middle school?

Have you?”

Such blatant humiliation!

This tone, coupled with his expression, immediately infuriated Xiao Yanzhu.

But before she could speak out, Liu Hun pulled her back.

He smiled and replied calmly and composedly, “No.”

“Did everyone hear that?

Did you all hear that?!” Huang Shun addressed the students with gusto, as if missing a chance to be a salesperson in a pyramid scheme.

“This is the reinforment Professor Xiao has brought in, the help you’ve all been eagerly awaiting—a nameless farmer from a rural village, who hasn’t even finished middle school, coming to direct our project!

Isn’t this an insult?

Isn’t this an outright insult?”

Many students were indeed whispering among themselves, their gazes toward Liu Hun turning unfriendly, and some even started to blame Xiao Yanzhu.

Liu Hun, seeing this turn of events, retorted to Huang Shun, “Indeed!

I’m but a poor farmer from a remote backwater village, unknown and nameless!

May I ask who you are?”

“Hmph!

Professor at the Biological Institute of Imperial University!

Recipient of a special grant from the State Council!

Honorary academician at the Academy of Social Sciences!

Countless papers published!” Huang Shun haughtily responded to Liu Hun, the way they squared off reminding one of the flamboyant exchanges like in “Flirting Scholar” between Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang.

Today, Liu Hun decided to play the role of Hua An, a humble pupil lost in the worldly dust, piercing through the intestines of Huang Shun.

“Tsk, tsk!

It’s like heaven and earth apart!” Liu Hun couldn’t help but exclaim.

This exclamation left Huang Shun feeling immensely satisfied, from the top of his head to the base of his spine—it was as if Liu Hun was indirectly admitting defeat.

Xiao Yanzhu and Jia Chen tensed up a bit, starting to worry.

Liu Hun continued, “On the way here, I already heard from Professor Xiao that the difficulty with your project lies in the uncontrollable mutations of the N2 virus, right?

It’s simple!

Where is the virus, let me try!”

“Hmph!

Listen to him, aside from the few sentences Xiao Yanzhu told him, he doesn’t know any professional jargon,” sneered Huang Shun at Liu Hun, drawing agreement from quite a few people.

“This Liu Hun really looks dubious!

He’s already admitted he never even finished middle school, how can he still put on airs?”

“Don’t talk like that, we should believe in Professor Xiao, right?

It can’t be that she would trust the wrong person.”

“But it’s really uncertain, what if Professor Xiao has fallen for Liu Hun?

Look at him, he’s actually quite handsome!”

“…”

Xiao Yanzhu led Liu Hun to the experimental table, got everything ready, and pointing at the microscope, she said to Liu Hun, “You can observe the virus activity through the microscope.

Here are the three drugs we commonly use to stimulate virus mutations.” After speaking, she placed three bottles of drugs in front of Liu Hun.

Huang Shun crossed his arms, looking forward to the spectacle; he even doubted whether Liu Hun knew how to use a microscope.

It had to be said that Huang Shun’s doubt was not misplaced—Liu Hun really did not know how to use it.

As he sat down in front of the microscope, Xiao Yanzhu came up to him tenderly and softly explained to him how to use it by his ear.

After Liu Hun understood, he placed his eye on the microscope, and oh my goodness!

What in the world was all this?

So this is what viruses look like!

He was both surprised and delighted.

Although he had never attended school, he had always been curious about things in school and truly wanted to make up for this regret.

Liu Hun looked for a while, then pretended to draw up some drug with a pipette, just like a middle school student would do in an experiment.

Following Xiao Yanzhu’s instructions, he carefully placed a drop on the petri dish.

After the drug dropped, Liu Hun saw the previously free-swimming viruses start to squirm uneasily and their speed increased dramatically.

Although he did not understand the reason or consequences, he guessed this must be the mutation Xiao Yanzhu spoke of.

After satisfying his curiosity, Liu Hun’s fingertip gently touched the edge of the petri dish, and Qi Force followed.

As the Qi Force eagerly surged into the petri dish, Liu Hun, who had been watching through the microscope, suddenly widened his eyes—he saw it!

He saw it clearly this time!

Not in a dream, but in vivid reality!

A silver dragon, gleaming with silver light, had just entered the petri dish and immediately dominated like an emperor.

All the unruly squirming viruses behaved like subjects prostrating before their sovereign, humble and devout.

The silver dragon rapidly zipped past each virus, and the viruses that had been deformed by the drug all twisted back to their original shapes, as if the drop of drug had never been added at all.

In his dream, Liu Hun had not been sure, but now he could finally confirm that the true form of the Qi Force within his body was indeed a silver dragon!

“Even if you pop your eyeballs out, it won’t help—this is science, not a staring contest!

You might as well admit that you’re clueless and stop wasting time here,” Huang Shun ridiculed, thinking Liu Hun was only putting on an act.

After Huang Shun said this, Liu Hun left the microscope.

Huang Shun really thought Liu Hun was backing down, but to his surprise, Liu Hun turned to Xiao Yanzhu and said, “It’s already a success.”

“Suc…

success?!

Let me see!” Xiao Yanzhu was slightly stunned, then she brushed Liu Hun aside, excitedly sat down at the microscope, adjusted it, and added the drug that stimulated mutations.
