I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

Chapter 75: Deep affection is fleeting, and the competing teams attract attention.

"Boss, Changnan mixed rice noodles." Chen Mu was starving, shivering and completely exhausted, as if he had collapsed.

I trained too hard, and I don't know how my body will recover. I still have work to do today.

"What flavor do you want?" the owner asked.

"One of each flavor, please," Chen Mu said.

"The boss suspects you're up to no good, so add a thousand negative emotions."

Chen Mu hadn't expected that there would be negative emotions associated with this.

"Then don't blame me." Chen Mu took out his phone, turned on the camera, and started taking pictures of the store. Then, pretending to be a food blogger, he began to introduce the store to the camera: "Family members, I've come to Changnan University. Many fans recommended this place to me. It's known as the number one mixed rice noodle shop. I'm going to try every flavor for you."

Upon hearing this, the boss's eyes immediately lit up.

So my shop is already this famous?

"Oh, welcome, welcome!" The owner immediately became enthusiastic and started cooking the rice noodles, adding double the toppings to each bowl.

For example, in beef rice noodles or pork intestine rice noodles, the beef is piled up like a small mountain, as if it were free.

Chen Mu understood the boss's idea; he clearly wanted to promote his shop.

Indeed, deep affection is fleeting, while clever tactics win hearts.

Then I won't hold back, let's show off!

Minced meat, tripe, pork intestines, and beef—we ate with great relish! The owner even gave us a complimentary bowl of preserved egg and meatball soup—so delicious!

The reason the boss believed it so quickly was mainly because Chen Mu was handsome; with such a face to make videos, he was sure to have a lot of fans.

The final bill was only a little over sixty yuan, which is incredibly reasonable.

Because pure vegetarian noodles only cost 4 yuan, and if you don't add any toppings, they're even cheaper than instant noodles, while dishes like pork intestines and beef are much more expensive.

After eating, I went back to the dormitory, took a shower, and changed my clothes.

Refreshing!

My muscles all over my body are aching.

The intensity is still bearable. It's really tough with the added physical strength. If I had trained like this before, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out of bed for days.

Zhang Weiji slowly woke up and yelled, "What the hell were you doing last night instead of going back to the dorm? Did you go to a hotel? With Jiang or Shen? Surely not both of them? You beast, you damn beast!"

"That phrase has almost become your catchphrase. Don't overthink it; we still have to live our lives today," Chen Mu said with a smile as he put on his clothes.

At the entrance of the biological laboratory of Changnan University, Chen Mu and others arrived at the designated location on time.

Zhou Qingchuan, the senior student, naturally arrived early to wait.

To Chen Mu's surprise, there was another group of people, both men and women, numbering about seven or eight.

After entering the laboratory, I introduced it to them.

"Changnan University has a total of four laboratories. The one you are in is the simplest. The three in front are for undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral students, respectively. The division of strength is clear and the hierarchy is strict."

As for me, I will be in charge of your work during this period. Your job is to each select a suitable engineered bacteria, and then successfully cultivate it. You will also learn about the various tasks in the biological laboratory, which will serve as a preview for your future university studies.

"Now, let me introduce you to each other. This is the biology competition team from the High School Affiliated to the Normal University. They are studying here to pursue a competition-based education. If they can win a national award, they can be guaranteed admission to Tsinghua or Peking University," Zhou Qingchuan said.

"I've heard of competitions before, but this is the first time I've seen one," Shen Qingyue said.

"Of course, most schools don't even have the qualifications to participate in competitions. You need to actively seek out information, which means you're not good enough. I know that, but my strength in all subjects is balanced, so I'm not at the level for competitions yet. Moreover, there are restrictions on competition participants. For example, in biology competitions, only the top 50 nationwide are eligible for direct admission to university, and they can only choose biology-related majors and cannot change majors. It's a kind of targeted talent training." Zhang Weiji finally found a knowledge point that he understood.

When the admissions office of Yunchuan No.1 High School contacted him, they mentioned this matter.

However, he still felt that the bonus for students from Yunchuan No. 1 Middle School who were admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University was too small, and he preferred to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond.

As a result, I have now met the biology competition team of the High School Affiliated to the Normal University.

Chen Mu also has blind spots in this area, after all, time is limited and it is impossible to learn about everything.

"So what level is this Affiliated High School of Normal University?" Chen Mu asked. "I've heard of Yunchuan No.1 High School, but I've never heard of the Affiliated High School of Normal University."

"In recent years, the best schools in the province, Yunchuan No. 1 High School, has an undergraduate enrollment rate of 90%, while the affiliated high school of Sichuan Normal University has an undergraduate enrollment rate of 100%. Basically, if you get into this school, you have no chance of getting into a junior college, which is a great pity," Zhang Weiji said.

"That's true. I hope they won't feel inferior. A good bachelor's degree is no worse than a junior college degree." Chen Mu nodded.

"Rebel against the Heavenly Gang!" Zhang Weiji shouted angrily.

After the introduction, Zhou Qingchuan said, "I've given you all the materials. I don't need to explain the procedures to you now, right? If you don't understand anything, you can go back now."

University biology labs are incredibly harsh.

We assume you can learn simple things on your own, otherwise you don't deserve to be here.

Then he brought over a basket of mushrooms and let everyone choose for themselves.

The bacteria culture mainly involves cultivating Escherichia coli.

E. coli is something everyone is familiar with; about one-third of everyone's stool contains E. coli, making it a true friend of humans.

Engineered bacteria are bacteria that have been modified using genetic engineering technology.

Simply put, it involves introducing foreign genes, such as those for human insulin, interferon, or enzymes, into bacteria, turning the bacteria into a miniature "biofactory" that helps humans mass-produce the proteins, drugs, and chemicals they need.

For example, to obtain insulin needed by diabetics, the human insulin gene is transferred into E. coli, which then produces human insulin at an alarming rate. After purification, the insulin is given to diabetics.

Hepatitis B vaccine, interferon, growth hormone, etc. are all produced by engineered bacteria.

E. coli, its greatness needs no further explanation!

Without this, diabetics would have to extract insulin from pig or cow pancreas, which is low-yield, expensive, and carries the risk of allergies.

Therefore, cultivating Escherichia coli has become a compulsory course for biology students.

Meanwhile, in the laboratory, genetic technology is used to arbitrarily and wildly modify E. coli.

This allows them to undergo various evolutions and mutations, thereby enabling the production of a variety of new drugs.

Different numbers indicate different modifications.

Some will become easy to raise, some will not reproduce, and some will die inexplicably.

Therefore, the exam begins as soon as the bacteria are selected.

Those who lack the expertise to understand the information naturally cannot select any good bacteria, quickly killing them and resulting in failure.

The people from the High School Affiliated to National Taiwan Normal University were clearly confident.

Prioritize making your choices confidently, while Chen Mu can't let his friends easily eliminate either of them. Although both girls have connections, having connections is one thing, and it's not good to keep using them forever.

"You can all choose number seven," Chen Mu whispered.

Chen Mu's teammates naturally had great confidence in his abilities.

Zhou Qingchuan was surprised that all three of them chose number seven: "Why did you all choose the easiest one to raise? Is Chen Mu one too?"

When it was Chen Mu's turn, he walked up to him and said directly, "Give me number ten!"

After he finished speaking, the students from the High School Affiliated to the Normal University all turned to look at him.

Because the data they studied together showed that number ten was the worst bacteria.
