Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

What a wonderful Yunnan mushroom! But thinking about it carefully, it's truly a fucking genius idea!
This mushroom perfectly fits the bill: it brings joy to people, it's legal, and it's available for purchase.

No wonder so many people in Yunnan love to eat mushrooms, and some even continue to eat them despite repeated warnings and hospital visits.

However, they decided against it, since the hospitals in Jiangning didn't have that much experience. If someone got poisoned, they would be the ones who suffered.

But it has to be said that Miss Yuan is quite abstract. She even wants to drag her teacher and professor along. What is she thinking?

His teacher was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, not a chemistry teacher. Asking Professor Li to do this was really asking too much of him. Although they were both pharmacists, it seems that the only Chinese medicine that can make people feel happy is Mafeisan (麻沸散). After all, it's not his specialty!

It's no wonder people suggested Wang Duoyu invest; after all, who in their right mind would invest in something like this? It's pure money loss!

"Hey? Lao Mo, now that you're studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, aren't there any herbs in Chinese medicine that make people feel happy?" Chuan Mei asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him: "Get lost. I'm a legitimate TCM doctor, okay? I don't have any happy ones, but I do have quite a few that make people feel dizzy after eating them."

For example, aconite, strychnine, and even some other medicinal herbs contain toxins, but the dosage must be carefully controlled.

Of course, there are some medicinal herbs that you wouldn't want to eat even if they weren't poisonous. At least, don't ask what they are when you're eating them, because once you know exactly what they are, you won't be able to bring yourself to take a bite!

Hearing this, everyone became interested.

"Oh? The three of us have all tried some Chinese medicine. Is there any Chinese medicine that you know you don't want to take?" Chuanmei asked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo sneered, "For example, white philtrum, yellow philtrum, night-shining sand, human excrement, blood residue charcoal, placenta, and so on!"

"It all sounds normal," He Xiaoyue asked, puzzled.

Lin Mo smiled upon hearing this: "Then what if I said that the white part of the philtrum is human urine residue, the yellow part of the philtrum is licorice soaked in a cesspool, the night-shining sand is bat droppings, the human twig is fingernail, the blood residue is ash from human hair, and the placenta is human placenta, would you still think that's normal?"

Upon hearing this, the others immediately showed disbelief on their faces.

"Huh? This is also Chinese medicine?" Chuanmei swallowed hard and asked, seemingly unable to accept this reality.

In response, Lin Mo shrugged and said, "Otherwise what? You don't think that all Chinese medicine is herbs, do you? All kinds of feces, even cockroaches, can be a Chinese medicine."

Of course, there are even more outrageous ones, such as "human soul," which is actually the liquid that flows down from a person's feet when they hang themselves. It has a fishy and foul smell, and when it dissolves into the soil, it turns black like charcoal. This soil then becomes a medicinal ingredient, namely "human soul," which can soothe the soul and has a miraculous effect in treating excessive fright.

There are many other Chinese medicinal herbs with similar explosive properties; you can look them up yourself if you're interested!

He didn't know these things before, but since he started learning traditional Chinese medicine and reading the book Professor Li gave him, plus the learning he's done recently, he knows what the basic medicinal materials are.

What the general public considers traditional Chinese medicine is actually herbal medicine, which consists of various plants and herbs that have certain medicinal value, so people don't feel any difference when they take them.

But traditional Chinese medicine is not just about herbs; many unexpected things have medicinal value. Many folk remedies include one or two such items, the most common being children's urine.

Hearing his explanation, the group felt nauseous. He Xiaoyue and the class monitor, not believing it, went online to check and found something even more shocking. From then on, they never wanted to take Chinese medicine again.

As for Lin Mo himself, he had no intention of pursuing a career in traditional Chinese medicine or prescribing medicine. He was already quite content with his massage and bone-setting skills, which he used frequently and also had the ability to diagnose pulses. As for prescribing medicine, he would leave that to his teacher to find another successor; he simply didn't have the talent for it.

"Let's go, let's get away from this TCM practice. I used to think that Mo Zai studying TCM was some kind of high-class thing, but it turns out he's just playing with poop and pee. Maybe he even played with pee and mud when he was little, ugh..."

Miss Yuan left with a look of disgust, feeling that Lin Mo was filthy and not wanting to associate with him. Seeing this, the crowd followed suit, leaving Lin Mo looking at them speechlessly: "Hey! You guys don't want to do the dishes, do you?!"

Upon hearing this, the group walked even faster, quickly boarded the elevator, and then disappeared in a flash.

She was pretending to dislike him; her real intention was to slack off. Luckily, he was quick-witted and stuffed his own trash into the class monitor's hands, asking her to take it down with her, otherwise he would have been at a huge loss.

As for why the class monitor was chosen, it goes without saying that the class monitor is shy and finds it hard to refuse his requests.

After the others left, Lin Mo began to clean up, wash the dishes in the kitchen, and then sat back on the sofa to continue writing his thesis.

The first draft of the paper needs to be checked for plagiarism by the end of this month and then submitted. Fortunately, his progress is quite good, and there is plenty of time, so he is not in a hurry.

A little after five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Ruyan returned home from get off work.

"I'm home, little brother~~ Were you a good boy/girl at home today~~"

Liu Ruyan entered the house, casually took off her flat shoes, jogged to the sofa, and kissed Lin Mo on the cheek. It was clear that she was in a very good mood today.

"Take a break, I'll cook after I finish writing this part," Lin Mo said calmly without even looking up, his attention completely focused on the paper on his computer.

"Oh dear~~ You really don't cherish what you've got, little brother, you've changed. You're starting to brush me off. Tell me, do you have another woman on the side?"

Seeing his reaction, Liu Ruyan pretended to be angry and grabbed his neck with both hands, questioning him. It was more like a coquettish question, wanting her boyfriend's attention to be on her.

"No!" Lin Mo's eyes remained fixed on the computer screen, his hands still typing on the keyboard.

Liu Ruyan: "Look at you! You're so cold to me now, not as enthusiastic as you used to be! If another pretty girl comes along and tries to chat you up, you'll definitely dump me, waaaaah~~"

Lin Mo:
"No, I'm at home, I'm too lazy to even leave the house all day, so where would other women come to chat me up!"

"What if? Besides, it's not like you never go out. How about this, let's do an experiment. If I let other girls come up and chat you up, I'll see your reaction!" Liu Ruyan said, pulling his arm.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked up and sized up Emperor Ruyan, then asked somewhat ambiguously, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, get up now!"

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan pulled him up from the sofa, then took a few steps back herself: "Then I'll begin!"

Lin Mo nodded, and then Liu Ruyan walked over lightly, tossed her hair, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Handsome guy~~ Me."

But before she could finish speaking, Lin Mo reached out, grabbed her arm, and then threw her over his shoulder, sending Liu Ruyan crashing onto the sofa with a scream.

Then Lin Mo stepped forward and delivered a crushing blow: "You audacious vixen, you dare to seduce me? I'll beat you up!"

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan was firmly pressed onto the sofa. After a long while, she half-knelt up, propped herself up, and gave a thumbs-up:

"Ahem. Yes, yes, that's it, you win. From now on, when you approach other women, do the same thing. Ahem, make sure you go all out, don't hold back!"
