An American knife seller? No, please acknowledge me as your godfather.

"It has tasted it."

Lynn's voice was extremely flat.

His calm and collected tone made it sound as casual as if he were saying he ate two sandwiches this morning.

But these three words, when they reached the lecturer's ears, were like a thunderclap from a clear sky!

The lecturer was completely stunned.

His dark eyes stared intently at Lynn's face for several seconds.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

The next second, the lecturer suddenly burst into extremely exaggerated laughter, clutching his stomach and laughing so hard he almost dropped the wine in his hand:

"Haha! Dude, you win! Your Newbee hype really made me laugh!"

The lecturer laughed while staring intently at Lynn's crotch, making clicking noises under his breath.

"You're amazing! You said you've tasted it... Tsk tsk! Seriously, bro, with your deadpan humor, you could easily be a regular guest on one of those stand-up comedy shows in China!"

"Those celebrities who force themselves to perform are nowhere near as good as you! If you went, you could definitely win the title of 'King of Stand-up Comedy,' or at the very least, it would be a hundred times better than showing up on the Spring Festival Gala with a broken guitar!"

"Oh."

Lynn didn't care at all and just smirked at the lecturer's teasing.

As the saying goes, only jokes that hit a nerve can break a person's defenses.

As for him? What he said was the undeniable truth.

Moreover, he had already made up his mind at this moment.

No matter how late it is tonight, I must choose Katie first.

Let Yun Chang savor those youthful, vibrant, and luscious red lips again.

At this moment, Katie, far away at home, was completely unaware.

He was about to face a storm of criticism just because he made a few unintentional jokes.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

Just then, the lecturer's phone suddenly beeped several times.

The sound effect is extremely unique, it's the exclusive notification sound from TikTok.

The lecturer casually swiped open the screen and glanced at it twice. His brows, which had been relaxed from laughing, instantly furrowed into a tight knot.

He glanced up at Lynn, his face grim, and waved his phone: "Buddy, wait a minute."

Immediately afterwards, the lecturer began frantically tapping the screen with his two thumbs.

The hand speed was so fast that it even left afterimages, clearly indicating that it was driven by strong emotions.

"What? A pretty female fan asked you out for a 'deeper' chat?"

Seeing the lecturer's excited expression, Lynn raised an eyebrow and teased him with interest.

"Oh my! What kind of female fan is she? She's a complete brainless idiot!"

The lecturer spat in anger, but his fingers didn't stop: "I'm arguing with a bunch of idiots!"

At this point, the lecturer seemed to have completely opened up, his face showing a constipated expression:

"Dude, don't laugh at me, but ever since I started making videos on TikTok and gained a few followers, I've truly experienced what 'species diversity' means! The thought processes of some people in China have simply opened my eyes!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Lynn slowly exhaled a smoke ring, seemingly unconcerned, and asked in return.

"Hey! The people I watch the most for these videos are from Dongda University, right? Every day, all sorts of weirdos and freaks ask me questions about America in the comments section."

The lecturer scratched his head in frustration: "Sometimes when I'm in a good mood, I'll pick a few kind answers, but who knew... never mind, see for yourself!"

As he spoke, the lecturer shoved his phone right in front of Lynn.

A sense of curiosity arose in Lynn's heart, and she immediately threw away the half-smoked cigarette butt and took the phone.

The phone screen is currently displaying the comments section of a popular video.

Lynn didn't pay much attention at first, casually scrolling up and down the screen with her finger.

Soon, his previously calm expression became increasingly strange.

The cause of the incident was very simple.

It started when a user with the ID "Noir et Blanc" left a question in the comments section.

This netizen claims to be a junior high school English teacher in a second-tier city in Southeast China, and her husband is an engineering businessman.

With a house and a car, they definitely belong to the A7 (seven-figure total assets) middle-class family.

Some time ago, this English teacher was suddenly diagnosed with acute appendicitis.

However, she expressed extreme distrust of the medical expertise of doctors in China, believing that they were too perfunctory in their treatment.

This is especially evident in their over-reliance on antibiotics; they have no idea what it truly means to treat and save lives.

So she came to the comments section to ask.

In other words, is it better to go to the United States for medical treatment, or is it better to stay in China for treatment if necessary?

They also asked how much it would cost in US dollars to have surgery in the United States.

It's probably because the teacher's profile picture is a rather elegant selfie, and she's quite good-looking.

The lecturer, unusually kind, quickly replied with a blunt truth:

[What are you thinking! You can get your appendicitis treated in China, stop the hassle! Coming to America for appendicitis? Your A7 assets aren't enough to handle that! Don't be reckless!]

In Lynn's opinion, although the lecturer's words were a bit rough, even a little rude, the reasoning behind them was absolutely correct!

As someone who had personally experienced the devastation of appendicitis, Lynn deeply empathized with it.

Even middle-class Americans with Medicaid or expensive commercial health insurance can be financially ruined by the cost of an appendectomy.

Not to mention the foreigners who flew all the way from the University of Tokyo to be treated for appendicitis.

This is like looking for shit in a toilet with a lantern!

It's important to know that even for students from Tokyo University studying in the United States, if they develop an illness that requires surgery...

They would rather spend tens of thousands of dollars on an exorbitantly priced plane ticket to fly back to Dongda for medical treatment than dare to easily step into an American hospital.

This English teacher is something else; she actually went out of her way to get ripped off.

It's like she's choosing the path to hell when there's one to heaven!

It's important to know that foreigners without local social security can only go to private hospitals that are notorious for exploiting people, where the overall cost is several times higher than that of public hospitals!

The so-called A7 assets in China are only a few million RMB.

Even if it's a total of seven million, that's just fixed assets. The cash flow that can be readily used is at most one million.

Even if you manage to scrape together a million dollars in cash, it will immediately shrink by nearly seven times when converted to the US dollar exchange rate!

All in all, it's less than $15.

With this amount of money, let alone going to a famous hospital like Mount Sinai, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, or Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Even in the most ordinary private hospitals in Seattle, the cost is barely enough to cover the basic expenses of expensive preoperative diagnosis and various examinations.

This amount of money isn't even enough to see the attending physician.

"Ha, how naive."

Lynn silently gave her assessment in her mind and continued to scroll down.

As you swipe, the expressions become increasingly vivid.

He finally understood what the lecturer wanted him to see.

After the lecturer's blunt reply, the comment section of the entire thread became a chaotic mess.

The clash between all sorts of amazing characters is far more exciting and thrilling than watching several IPX-58 movies in a row!

【Noir et Blanc】: "What do you mean, blogger? Are you saying I can't afford to go to America for medical treatment? That's hilarious. Do you even know what an A7 is?"

Have you ever seen millions in your life? Do you think I've never been to America? I actually went to California for a two-week exchange program with my school!

Forget it, I shouldn't have asked a loser like you who begs on the street; it was a complete waste of my time!

This arrogant and unguarded reply immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

【Hakimi Kimi Loo】: "Haha, she's getting anxious! As the saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you care about it!"

This English teacher probably only went abroad once in her life using public funds, right? A few million in assets? In Beijing, anyone with an old, dilapidated apartment is worth a few million.

Fun fact: Assets are not the same as cash, and certainly not the same as being rich!

[The seemingly casual observation by Jixiu]: "Hot knowledge: Cold knowledge is generally correct."

[Name Unknown]: "Teacher, don't listen to those sour grapes, be bold and go to America to pursue advanced medical care!"

The regulations on antibiotics abroad are absolutely the most reasonable and stringent! And their surgical techniques are among the most advanced in the world!

Don't forget to stick to your opinion! By the way, a friendly reminder: fentanyl is very cheap and works extremely quickly in the US, so be sure to drive plenty to try it when you get there!

【Mijiuya】: "Holy crap, are all guys using Kira Yoshikage's avatar this insidious? This is practically murder without bloodshed!"

[Yearning for Freedom]: "To be fair, the medical environment and humanistic care at the University of Tokyo are indeed far behind those abroad. If you have the means, you should go abroad to see it."

You should know that medical care is completely free abroad! The government covers both major and minor illnesses! In addition, even if you don't have enough to eat, there are free aid stations and food banks.

I heard the government also gives money to the poor from time to time. This is a high level of welfare for all citizens, something Tokyo University can't compare to. This is truly a beacon of humanity!

[Reincarnation Player]: "Here we go again! It's typical that the whole world only has Tokyo University and foreign countries, right?"

And which godfather told you that medical care is free? Did you read too much old-fashioned "Yilin" magazine and your brain shrunk? So the whole of America is a charity?

Then let me ask you, if it's so great, why don't you just buy a plane ticket and head over there?

And if it's really that good, why are there so many homeless people on the streets of America? Huh? Explain that to me.

【Kimi Pot】: "I'm in Flushing, just got out of a black cab."

The person upstairs is right, the American healthcare system is a bloodsucking cesspool! Even if you get Medicaid, you'll still have to pay a heavy price!

First of all, white cards have strict limits on the amount and scope of use. In addition, once you use a white card and leave a record, you can forget about ever getting a green card again!

And those rescue stations? They don't even house dogs!

Let's not even talk about whether you can snag that pitiful bed among tens of thousands of homeless people. Even if you do manage to get in, it's only a one-time, temporary assistance for 24 hours!

And inside, you'll have to be constantly on guard against chrysanthemum explorers! Most importantly, once your personal information is registered at the shelter, finding a legitimate job will be virtually impossible!

[Zhao Mingyu, who likes mimosa plants]: "Although I don't understand it, more words must mean more reasoning!"

【Peaceful and Tranquil】: "Wake up, kids! Don't blindly believe whatever people say online, okay? Have you even been to America? I went there a few years ago when I was traveling."

The air there is exceptionally fresh, even sweet! The lake water is crystal clear, and the neighbors are incredibly warm and polite!

Anyway, in upscale resorts and Beverly Hills, I never saw any homeless people! Everyone was so elegant and welcoming; it was paradise.

【Longbow Evil】: "Wow, here comes another one. It's a typical case of 'if I don't see it, it doesn't exist.' Big sister, you're the one who needs to open your eyes and see the world, okay?"

Do you even know what a tourist exhibition area is? Next time, please step outside the resort and take a walk around a poor area or a homeless park; I guarantee you'll be robbed of everything, even your underwear!

……

After scrolling through several pages of the fiercely debated comments section in one go, Lynn couldn't help but click his tongue, his eyes full of amusement: "This is truly exciting!"

What a vivid and absurdly realistic comment section!

He found the clash of these different perspectives incredibly entertaining.

After saying that, Lynn locked the screen, handed the phone back to the still-angry lecturer, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile:

"Alright, there's no need to take this seriously with these online believers. Your few words of truth have directly ruined their painstakingly built American dream. They're bound to be furious and curse you out."

"From now on, don't get involved in these kinds of messy things. Put aside your desire to help others and respect their fate. Everyone has their own destiny. If she insists on coming here to throw money and her life away, then let her come."

The lecturer took the phone and nodded dejectedly.

"I understand what you're saying, but I just think these people are fucking ridiculous! They haven't been through the harsh realities of capitalism, and they really think this is a paradise paved with gold!"

Just as the two were chatting.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a very crisp sound of a bottle shattering came from outside the alley, followed by a fierce argument and a scuffle.

The sound came from the street directly in front of the Rusty Anchor Bar.

Faintly, one could still hear someone shouting in fluent, clear Chinese at the top of their lungs: "Let me go! You've arrested the wrong person!"

Lynn and the lecturer exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of schadenfreude in each other's eyes.

The next moment, the two turned around and walked towards the alley entrance at the same time, as if in perfect unison.

After taking only a few steps, the view suddenly opened up.

At the entrance of the bar, which was in complete disarray, two burly policemen stood on either side.

They pinned an Asian man wearing a bright red MAGA support hat to the ground covered in broken glass.

Despite his cheeks being scraped and bleeding from the rough asphalt, the Asian man struggled frantically like an eel.

Even with her hands tied behind her back, she still stubbornly shouted hysterically in a mix of broken Chinese and English:

"Why?! Why are you arresting everyone else for free purchases, but only me? This is discrimination!"

"No, you two damned bastards are spies sent by the Chinese Communist Party! You were sent by the CCP to persecute me! Let me go!!!"

Upon hearing that highly distinctive duck-like voice, Lynn immediately squinted and looked over.

When Lynn saw the face contorted with rage, his lips twitched involuntarily.

The Asian man pinned down by the police is none other than the famous Wang Weiheng.

No, Wang Weiheng has no recorded appearances on camera.

This thing in front of us should be called a donut!
