One Problem, Ten Thousand Bucks

Half an hour later, Ji Chuxing finished her experiment.

She was overjoyed!

She had not only recouped all the money spent on the herbs but also made a tidy profit.

Hmm, live streaming really is a quick way to earn money.

A private message popped up from an account named "Lan."

Lan was someone she had met during her second live stream, where she conducted a chemical experiment—more accurately, a drug experiment. She successfully extracted and synthesized a substance from a herb.

Since then, Lan had frequently messaged her, always discussing medical and chemical topics.

Though not particularly close, Lan had become her most frequent correspondent since she started streaming.

From their conversations, Ji Chuxing deduced that Lan had a solid background in the medical field.

The three experiments she had recently conducted were all suggested by Lan.

But Ji Chuxing didn't mind.

Just like before, after her live stream ended, Lan sent a message: "Thank you, you are the best at conducting experiments I've ever seen."

Though Ji Chuxing didn't pay much attention to the comments, she was aware of some messages from the audience.

Blinking, she replied.

One: Why are you interested in the International Medical Alliance's internal test for substance reactions?

Lan: I was just curious to see who could do it.

One: Oh.

Lan: ...I'm serious, don't doubt me.

One: Oh.

Lan: No, what do you mean by "oh"? Don't misunderstand, I'm not lying.

One: Pay up!

Lan: Transferring now.

Ji Chuxing happily clicked to receive the payment, and seeing the many zeros after the 1, she felt very pleased.

Great.

This Lan is rich!

She would definitely do more experiments for him in the future.

After a moment's thought, Ji Chuxing sent another message: Do you know where I can get --935?

--935 was the name of a certain medicinal material.

Lan quickly replied: "What do you need it for?"

One: Just for fun.

Lan: ...You can't get it. --935 needs to be extracted from the Green Plant, and no one on Earth can keep it alive anymore. There's no --935 left.

Can't keep it alive, huh?

Ji Chuxing touched her chin.

She continued: So, there are seeds?

Lan: ...

One: So you have the seeds!

Lan: ...

No, what kind of genius is this? Can she read his expressions through the internet?

How did she know without him saying anything?

One: Give me the seeds!

Lan: I don't have them.

One: ...Two experiments!

Lan: Five!

One: Three!

Lan: Deal.

"One" was her codename from her previous life in the lab, given to her by the old doctor.

When doing the experiment, Ji Chuxing had casually used this codename.

Satisfied, she exited the live streaming app and checked her bank account, looking at the digits before the decimal point and nodding contentedly.

Then, she checked her recent expenses.

Seeing the digits before the decimal point, her little tuft of hair on top of her head stood up in shock!

No way!

She needed to do two more game streams tonight!

But when she got home, she saw piles and piles of documents on the living room table.

Bo Yanchen, sitting in a wheelchair beside the sofa, waved to her as she entered: "Xingbao, come here and see what big brother bought for you."

Ji Chuxing: No! I don't want to see it!

Big Brother Bo never buys good things.

That morning, he had gone to the bookstore and bought several boxes of books on adolescent psychology and rebellious behavior, along with a lot of college entrance exam review materials.

It all started with Old Huang's phone call, expressing concern about whether Ji Chuxing would be able to take the exam the next day.

Bo Yanchen realized that the next day was the first city-wide joint exam for senior high school students in Nan City.

During this period, he hadn't seen the little girl do any homework; her backpack was full of snacks and all sorts of strange trinkets.

He hadn't seen a single piece of homework.

What could he do? The little girl was growing up, and he couldn't scold her like a child or spank her.

Besides, he couldn't bear to say a harsh word to her.

So, he had to cram.

He decided to tutor her himself.

Fortunately, the classic review materials he had ordered from the capital had just arrived.

"Tomorrow is the exam, so I'll help you review the basics."

He didn't have high expectations; if she could solve the problems and get some basic points, that would be enough. Before coming to Nan City, her grades were quite good, often in the top three. But after coming to Nan City, the Wen family had tormented her, and she couldn't study properly.

But the basics in high school could still be mastered.

Ji Chuxing shook her head like a rattle, jumping three feet away, refusing to go near Bo Yanchen: "No, I already know it!"

Bo Yanchen sighed, knowing she would say that.

But he couldn't indulge her anymore.

"Come here, let me explain a few problems to you."

Ji Chuxing: "No!"

"One problem, ten thousand yuan, and you can have two extra jellies tonight!"

Ji Chuxing plopped down next to Bo Yanchen, placing her hands on her knees and looking at him seriously, as if her face said, "Tell me, tell me now."

She was so well-behaved that he wanted to pat her little head.

See, his little girl was still obedient. Bo Yanchen stroked her head and began explaining the basics of high school physics.

His deep, soothing voice made Ji Chuxing feel sleepy.

Three minutes later, Ji Chuxing yawned.

One minute later, she yawned again.

Her head kept nodding off.

Bo Yanchen: ...

But he still asked gently, "Did Xingbao understand?"

Ji Chuxing nodded firmly, yawning: "Yes."

Bo Yanchen: ...

He pushed a workbook towards Ji Chuxing: "Good, then write these problems, and I'll check your progress."

Ji Chuxing pouted.

More writing!

Bo Yanchen patted her head: "Write carefully, I'll go get you some jellies."

When he returned from the fridge with her favorite flavor, he saw that she had filled out the multiple-choice questions on the open pages of the workbook.

The scratch paper beside it was spotless, not even a speck of dust.

Bo Yanchen: ...

Oops, she must have copied the answers while he was gone.

But facing those innocent and well-behaved eyes, Second Master Bo couldn't bring himself to scold her.

He even opened the jelly and handed it to Ji Chuxing, praising, "Good job, our Xingbao is very smart. You understood everything I explained. You did great, all correct. Now, let me explain these problems to you."

Ji Chuxing took the jelly and started slurping it, listening to Bo Yanchen's explanation.

By the time he finished explaining one problem, the slurping sound stopped.

"The approach to this problem is like this, Xingbao..."

Before he could finish, a small head thumped onto his shoulder.

Ji Chuxing was fast asleep.

Bo Yanchen: ...

Oh well, maybe next time.

The little girl must be exhausted from the doctor's visit today.
