Chamberlain was an old friend of Lin’s maternal grandfather, their bond forged in life-and-death situations.
He held an exceptionally high status, being a three-star general.
His arrival, naturally, commanded respect and quelled the atmosphere.
Lu Yuanhang dared not utter another word.
A quarter of an hour later, Chamberlain arrived. Upon hearing that overseas experts were to be consulted, he nodded in agreement.
Why rush into cranial surgery? The risks are too great! I believe we can also consider traditional Chinese medicine!
If there are good TCM practitioners, I will certainly find them!
He slammed his hand on the table, making his decision. Lu Yuanhang was even less able to protest.
Lin’s mother looked at her father’s old friend, her heart filled with gratitude.
The elder, however, noticed Lin Muchen, who was cowering behind Lin Cuiping. The spirited old man smiled kindly.
Is this Xiao Ci?
You’ve grown so tall! Back when you were born, I held you in my arms, you were so tiny.
By age, shouldn't you be preparing for your higher education exams?
Lu Yuanhang, standing nearby, impatiently signaled his daughter.
Xiao Ci isn’t a good student; she’s last in her class at school and might not even get into university.
Before he could finish, Lin Muchen interrupted him directly, her voice ringing out clearly.
I want to go to Qing University.
The elder opposite grew even more excited.
Excellent, an excellent aspiration!
That’s a fine university.
I know many professors there; I’ll introduce you then!
Lu Yuanhang said enviously from the side.
Xiao Ci isn’t academically inclined. My other daughter, Lin Miaoyu, is the real talent for studying. You could help introduce her too.
His intention was to boast about Lin Miaoyu’s academic achievements and, at the same time, curry favor.
However, he was interrupted by the elder.
The elder snorted, his voice full of vigor, pointing a finger at Lu Yuanhang’s nose and scolding him directly.
What is Lin Miaoyu? An illegitimate daughter who can’t even step onto a proper stage!
Do you really think I’m unaware of your improper actions? Xiao Ci is the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Those other vixen-like imps you want to present to society, aren’t they just embarrassing you?
Lu Yuanhang’s face turned ugly as he endured the elder’s tirade.
The elder then patted Lin Muchen’s shoulder.
If you need anything, call me.
Xiao Ci, don’t worry. This old man still has some ability. As long as I’m here, let’s see who dares to lay a finger on you or your mother!
Lu Yuanhang’s face was ashen as he returned. He made an excuse about going to the company and slipped away.
Lin Cuiping stayed at the hospital to accompany Lin’s maternal grandfather, who remained unconscious and required family presence.
Lin Muchen had school the next day, so the driver took her home.
Uncle Li drove her back to the villa. Lin Muchen gazed at the neon lights flashing past the car window at night, querying the system in her mind.
If I want to exchange for TCM skills, how many more points do I need?
The system replied.
Five hundred points. One point of favorability equals one point.
However, Ling Qianhe’s favorability can be multiplied by ten. Host, as long as you raise his favorability to fifty, you will obtain five hundred points.
I think it’s very cost-effective.
Lin Muchen tapped her fingertips twice on the car window.
She drew on the car window with her finger.
Ling Qianhe’s current favorability is zero.
Reaching fifty seems difficult.
She smiled and said.
Mm.
I understand.
The system felt somewhat peculiar.
Why did it feel like the host was quite confident?
The next morning.
Lin Muchen woke up feeling refreshed.
One thousand points were credited punctually. She used five hundred to exchange for TCM skills!
The system’s angry voice echoed in her mind.
Host, this is cheating! I told you, the favorability you obtained before is not transferable to this body. Although Ling Qianhe’s favorability eventually broke through one hundred, you cannot use those accumulated points to exchange for TCM skills!
But Lin Muchen said.
The previous possessed puppet was me, wasn’t it?
The system hummed.
But
Lin Muchen continued to ask.
Also, in those other small worlds, learning TCM skills and becoming the most formidable TCM doctor in that world, that was also me, wasn’t it?
The system felt a little guilty.
But rules are rules
Lin Muchen said leisurely.
I am merely using my points to get back what is rightfully mine. If this is considered a violation, then your system should just disband.
Without such fairness, who would undertake the task of conquering small worlds for you?
The system was cornered by Lin Muchen.
But Host, this is cheating!
Lin Muchen stretched lazily, her demeanor serene.
It feels so good to possess my own abilities again.
From today onwards.
I am
She raised her eyes, her gaze filled with unreserved confidence.
The world’s most powerful, peerless master of Chinese medicine!
