At Principal Ma Guotao's ho.
After the elderly professors finished critiquing Zhao Yuan's answers, their appetites not yet sated, they urged Haoyu, "'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' is almost done with the questions. Quick, send him an email and see if you can contact him."
"Alright." Haoyu nodded and quickly tapped out an email, sending it to Zhao Yuan.
The email had only just been sent when the elderly professors asked impatiently, "Anything? Did he reply?"
'How could it be that fast,' Haoyu complained inwardly. Out loud, he said, "Let see." But as he opened his inbox, he caught sight of a ssage out of the corner of his eye and froze. "He... he logged off?"
His abrupt comnt made everyone in the room frown. Confused, they asked, "Who logged off?"
"'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor'—he logged off!" Haoyu replied.
The elderly professors exchanged glances, a developnt they had never anticipated.
"Why would he suddenly log off? Did he really co to our university's forum just to answer a few questions?"
This ti, they had actually guessed right. Wasn't Zhao Yuan's entire purpose for logging into the forum to answer questions?
"If we had known he'd log off right after finishing, we shouldn't have just sat here watching him answer questions. We should have been spamming him with emails!" one of the old professors said with regret.
"Sending emails would have been useless," Ma Guotao sighed. "This person probably didn't even look at his email."
Liu Mingzhang said anxiously, "'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' is exceptionally talented when it cos to basic theory! If we could invite him to teach at our school, the teaching quality for the Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese dicine course would surely undergo a qualitative leap! With a solid foundation, the students' clinical studies will naturally improve as well! Principal Ma, this is a talent we absolutely cannot afford to miss!"
Of course Ma Guotao understood all this. But the problem now was that they had no way to contact 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor'!
Xiao Xianlin sighed and said mournfully, "If only we knew where this person was. Even with just a general address, we could figure out a way to find him. We wouldn't be like this, running around like headless chickens."
Haoyu's eyes lit up. He slapped his forehead excitedly. "I've got it! I can use his IP address to find out where he is!"
Ma Guotao was overjoyed at his words and urged him on, "Excellent! Haoyu, hurry and check! If you can really find the address of 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor', I'll count this as a great service!"
Haoyu imdiately got to work. Before long, he had retrieved the IP address that 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' used to log into the forum. However, when he saw the IP location displayed on the computer, his jaw dropped in astonishnt.
Because the IP location was none other than West Hua dical University!
"'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor'... is here at our university?" Haoyu murmured.
"What? At our university? How is that possible!" The group of old professors exchanged glances, unable to believe the news.
After a long mont, Xiao Xianlin finally spoke, his brows furrowed. "I know all the teachers at the university. Yes, their standards are very high, but compared to 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor', they're still lacking by a fair bit!"
Liu Mingzhang nodded in agreent. "Old Xiao is right. Among our university's faculty, there really is no one with this level of skill. Not even or Old Xiao."
"If it's not a teacher, could it be a student?" Ma Guotao suddenly proposed a theory.
An old professor imdiately shot it down. "Impossible! Even we don't possess this kind of skill. How could a student possibly have it?"
"That's right," another professor chid in. "'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor's' mastery of basic theory is incredibly high. You can't achieve that without long years of painstaking study. We have quite a few promising kids at our school, including so from dical Noble Families, but their skill level is worlds apart from his!"
The other professors all nodded in agreent.
No one believed that 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' could be a student at the university. It was a joke. The level of skill he demonstrated in basic theory was far beyond that of these experts and professors. How could he possibly be a student in his late teens or early twenties?
Ma Guotao also felt his guess was unreliable. He gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject. "Then what's the deal with the IP location showing our university?"
The old professors all shook their heads. While they were highly skilled in dicine, they really weren't very knowledgeable about computers.
It was Haoyu who thought of a possibility. "I know! This 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' must be a computer expert! He didn't want anyone to trace his real address, so he spoofed our university's IP to log into the forum. That way, even if we trace the IP location, we won't find his real address!"
This deduction imdiately t with everyone's approval. Compared to the idea of him being a student, the professors were much more willing to believe that 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' was an expert in both dicine and computers.
"I never would have thought 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' was a computer expert too. Sigh, now even our last clue is gone." Ma Guotao shook his head and sighed. "It seems we can only wait for him to co online again."
"But what if he cos online next ti and ignores the emails again, just like this ti?" soone voiced a concern.
"Well..." Ma Guotao was stumped, and the others fell silent as well.
After a mont, Xiao Xianlin thought of a plan. "From what we saw today," he said, "'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' appears to be answering questions in the order they're taught in the Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese dicine. That ans his next topics should be within the scope of etiology, pathogenesis, health preservation, and treatnt principles. We could modify the relevant questions in the forum's test bank and place our ssage to him inside the questions. That way, as long as he does them, he's guaranteed to see what we have to say."
"Now that's a good idea!" Liu Mingzhang's eyes lit up.
The other professors agreed with this plan. Finally, Ma Guotao gave the final approval, "We'll do as Elder Xiao suggests!"
The professors imdiately selected a few representative questions and had Haoyu modify them, embedding West Hua University's recruitnt ssage for 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' inside.
By the ti they finished, it was already past eleven o'clock at night. But the old professors didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy. They simply turned Ma Guotao's ho into a conference room and began a heated discussion about the essay questions that 'Man Who Wants to Be a Witch Doctor' had answered that day.
After a round of study and exchange, every one of them felt they had gained a great deal. It was a kind of fulfillnt they hadn't experienced in many years.
