Chapter 326: Chapter 197: Bai Mo’s Hardcore Treatment (Part 2)

Professor Zhang, does he know the secrets of the promotion ceremony? Does he know he’s taking risks?

Bai Mo instinctively looked toward Professor Zhang seated in the front row, just in time to see him looking down at his phone, from a slanted angle, seeing him turn off his WeChat.

Bai Mo’s gaze captured the last words in the conversation list between Professor Zhang and Chairman Chen Shu...

[I understand the risks. Just let me take this journey.]

He also saw a phrase in the conversation list, saying...

[Let’s get a divorce.]

Bai Mo furrowed his brow and looked again at the thick stack of documents in his hand.

"The refining has gone wrong.

"Could the errors be in this mathematical derivation process?"

He flipped open the documents and began reading from the first page.

Refining the Fire Consciousness Soup was just child’s play to him.

He had previously studied a lot in the area of mathematics.

The document involved linear algebra, discrete mathematics, probability theory, and mathematical statistics, which he wasn’t quite familiar with, so he took out his phone and quickly searched for some textbooks and resources to read through.

"I wonder if my newly acquired knowledge is adequate, if it works well?"

With some trepidation, Bai Mo started immersing himself in reading.

Thus, he read one article after another, flipped one page after another, only to find that it seemed not so difficult after all?

Additionally... his gaze stayed on the eighth page of the document, lingering on a certain inference.

"Huh?

"This?"

In the conference room, Li Fangming stood in front of the blackboard, still talking about the lab’s rules.

"...I most dislike smart alecks, those who don’t follow orders!

"For instance, some among you here are already flipping through the documents!

"Can you even understand?!

"Learned a bit of superficial stuff, wrote some toy papers, did some childish problems, and started putting on airs?

"Bai Mo!"

He snapped fiercely, glaring and pointing at Bai Mo!

"I’m talking about you!

"What are you putting on?

"Put the documents down!"

The conference room fell into silence.

The students turned to look at Bai Mo.

Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment, stood up, put on a smile, wanting to smooth things over.

But Li Fangming ignored him, continued glaring, shouting loudly.

"What are you pretending?!

"If you want to intern here, follow my rules!

"You, go to the side room, and write a 3,000-word reflection for me first!"

The students shivered in fear.

Wan Bocheng, Lan Fangfang, Guan Yue Ling, and others had just been looking at the materials, now their faces pale, secretly closing the documents.

Yang Zhan had also been looking at the materials, couldn’t understand them, just glancing for fun, quickly closed them too.

He understood that Li Fangming mostly disliked Bai Mo, while also wanting to use Bai Mo to give the students a wake-up call, to make an example and suppress all the students.

One could only say... Bai Mo was unlucky!

Bai Mo was very frustrated too.

Did this guy take gunpowder or something?

Why’s his attitude so bad?

He tossed the documents aside, stood up, and walked straight to the whiteboard.

Respect was mutual; since Li Fangming didn’t respect him, he didn’t need to respect Li Fangming either.

"There are very serious mistakes in your documents."

On Bai Mo’s shoulder, the agitated Bai Taiyang instantly understood his master’s intent!

With a swoosh, it leapt lightly, landing on the top of the whiteboard, swiped with its fox paw, shoving Li Fangming aside, almost causing him to fall.

Then it bent down, picked up a duster, cleaned the entire whiteboard spotless with a few swipes.

Finally, it grabbed a marker with both paws, offering it to the approaching master.

"Whimper!"

Thus, Bai Mo took the marker, stood before the perfectly clean whiteboard.

A nearly toppled Li Fangming, a wide-eyed Professor Zhang, and the stunned students all looked at Bai Mo.

Li Fangming was frightened by the Immortal Beast, dared not make a sound.

Professor Zhang hesitated whether to call for help, worried the Immortal Beast might lose control.

The students looked at Bai Mo’s slender fingers, at the pen in his hand, and watched him as he wrote lines and lines of flowing inferences and formulas on the whiteboard!

The students couldn’t understand it, only felt that Bai Mo’s Greek letters, English letters, and numbers, though cursive, though messy, were just exceptionally pleasing to the eye!

The whole whiteboard was soon filled up.

Clearly it was dense, varying in length with mathematical conjectures and formulas, clearly it was a vast and scattered matrix, but from Bai Mo’s hand, the entire board looked like a painting!

Swipe...

Bai Mo finished the last stroke.

Putting down the marker, Bai Taiyang at the top of the whiteboard jumped back onto his master’s shoulder, wagging his tail, puffing out his chest, lifting his head, full of pride!

Bai Mo sat back in his seat, and the meeting room remained silent.

The students couldn’t understand the content on the whiteboard, so they looked at Li Fangming and Professor Zhang.

Seeing Professor Zhang also completely baffled... after all, he’s not a math major.

Seeing Li Fangming stunned for a moment, he grabbed the eraser and was about to rush at the whiteboard!

"What nonsense are you writing!

"Don’t think you can fool people just by memorizing a couple of formulas!

"Mathematics is rigorous, engineering is rigorous too!

"Can’t...

"Not... not possible..."

Li Fangming’s eraser, above Bai Mo’s writing, seemed to freeze, unable to fall.

He stared wide-eyed, his expression gradually stiffened, his neck and ears turning bright red.

"Uh... uh..."

He looked like a rooster choked on a pebble, craning his neck, throat trembling, glaring at the whiteboard, but couldn’t utter a single word.

Professor Zhang’s expression turned weird.

The students’ expressions also turned weird.

Looking at Li Fangming’s reaction, could it be...

Then, they saw Li Fangming discard the eraser, actually hugging the whiteboard, heading straight for the door, opening it, and walking out.

He left in a hurry, not bothering to close the door.

Leaving Professor Zhang in the room with an awkward smile.

Leaving Yang Zhan clapping his hands, whistling, cheering.

"Bai Mo is amazing!"

Leaving the students laughing out loud, applause resounding.

...

In the Bronze Hall, Bai Mo sat behind the table, took a sip of tea, and continued reading the documents his apprentices just unearthed.

"This tea really tastes good.

"Cold-brewed tea, with a floral aroma, and a lot of freshness."

Bai Mo grinned, took another big sip, and continued reading the documents.

On the stone slab in hand, the records of herbal trades with the Yaochi Holy Land were noted down.

"A pound of hundred-year-old Celestial Bright Grass, traded with Yaochi Holy Land, exchanged for a hundred pounds of ten-year-old? What does this mean?"

Bai Mo frowned.

Hundred-year Celestial Bright Grass is of course a treasure, wouldn’t it be better for the Cyan Moon Pill Palace to keep it for themselves? Why exchange it for worthless ten-year-old Celestial Bright Grass?

Grabbing the documents, continued reading.

After checking two more stone slabs, he discovered the whereabouts of the exchanged Celestial Bright Grass, and suddenly understood!

"So that’s it."

Hundred-year-old Celestial Bright Grass has stronger medicinal properties, better refining success rate, and the Fire Consciousness Soup it produces is safer... but its quantity is scarce! Such rare good things are given to the Yaochi Holy Land.

Ten-year-old Celestial Bright Grass has weaker medicinal properties, lower refining success rate, and the Fire Consciousness Soup it produces is riskier... but it’s in abundance! These cheap mass goods are traded back and distributed to more disciples within the Cyan Moon Pill Palace.

"Have to accept it; it’s really just a matter of different classes."

Bai Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth.

As for the Celestial Bright Grass he used back then... grew for only a month, rushed with fertilizer, making the risk of the Fire Consciousness Soup terrifyingly high, a slight carelessness after drinking could turn oneself to ashes... But Bai Mo had enough knowledge to manage the risk, didn’t really care about it.

At that moment, a car swished to a stop at the entrance of the hall.

Then three fox apprentices cheerfully jumped out, holding herbs, rushed into the hall.

"Yip yip yip!"

Black Shoes carrying a pot of six-leaf Osmanthus!

"Howl howl howl!"

White Toe carrying a pot of Golden Grain Rice!

"Yip yip yip!"

Big Nose carrying a pot of tender buds!

Hmm?

Bai Mo directed his gaze towards Big Nose, this pot of tender buds are... Ink Jade Grape buds?

There was once a vine of Ink Jade Grapes on Fox Mountain, only eaten once, the vineyard was mistakenly fertilized by the apprentices and got burnt to death.

Hugging the fox apprentices who rushed forward to act cute, Bai Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth, inwardly exclaimed amazing!

Only having eaten Ink Jade Grapes once, Big Nose managed to rely on the memory of its taste and found the grape buds that hadn’t yet borne fruit in the meadow? Damn impressive!
