Chapter 442: Chapter 217: Master Bai Yiduo (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch: Our King’s Mountain Patrol)
(The Alliance Hierarch “King of the Mountain” sends his regards, and the first chapter’s bonus update is dropped!)
Dragging the chub into the Biological Cabin, the glass do clicked into place, filling with Biological Repair Liquid.
The chub’s body gradually subrged, and seeing that he still smacked his lips, Mu Fan was reassured.
“It’ll be ready in 4 to 5 hours,” Bai Guyue said after pressing the last button.
“Mhm.”
Was he now just waiting for her grandfather?
When Mu Fan curiously watched Bai Guyue continue her experints, just over an hour passed, finally, a bell tinkled.
“It’s Grandfather.” Bai Guyue picked up the communicator next to the console and gestured to Mu Fan to be quiet.
Mu Fan could only faintly hear soone speaking through the communicator, but couldn’t make out the specifics. Bai Guyue humd twice before hanging up the Sky Communication.
“Grandfather wants to see you.”
Her face wore a strange expression; she thought it would be a notification to collect Inner Wall Heart Liquid, but unexpectedly, Grandfather specifically asked for Mu Fan to co up.
Mu Fan, unaware of the situation, simply thought it ant they could finally get the Inner Wall Heart Liquid, eagerly followed Bai Guyue into the hidden floating compartnt.
With a jolt, Mu Fan could feel himself ascending.
“My grandfather is very fierce, very powerful, try not to make him angry later,” Bai Guyue said, fear evident in her eyes for the first ti Mu Fan has seen.
It looked like the young lady was genuinely afraid of her grandfather.
“No matter how scary, he can’t eat people, right?”
Bai Guyue’s face was serious, “Really, really very scary.”
Mu Fan filtered out these words, thinking the girl was too timid.
“You should take it seriously, rember what I’ve said, he is, on this planet, no, I haven’t seen a Pharmacist more powerful than him. And…”
Mu Fan felt the lift co to a stop, saw the Floating Stairs open to exit, and couldn’t help but smile at the girl’s hurried words as he turned and asked, “And what?”
“And his nickna on the PO virtual network is really scary!”
Now Mu Fan was curious: “Your grandfather interacts with the network?”
The PO virtual network is different from the Battle Net; the forr eliminates combat features and fully simulates a real-world virtual network.
“Of course, they use the network to communicate within their small circle,” Bai Guyue said, her face displaying a hint of fright.
“So what’s his nickna that has you so scared?”
“You can’t tell anyone, okay? He goes by—”
Bai Guyue’s delicate face tensed up.
“—The Savage White Rabbit!”
Mu Fan looked expressionlessly at the young lady who was equally serious and tense, braced himself against the Floating Stairs’ doorfra, and then headed out without looking back.
He felt like he was conversing with a girl who was not on the sa age level as him!!
“I won’t go then, okay? Co straight to the underground lab when you’re done, good luck!” With a puff of encouragent, Bai Guyue’s figure disappeared behind the closing Floating Stairs door.
Compared to the first floor, the third floor’s space was spacious, bright, and unusually tidy; at least in the corridor, Mu Fan didn’t see such cluttered decorations.
There were classical teapots, chessboards, only a corner held a small number of glass bottles and jars.
In front of him was a separate room with a lone wooden door facing him.
“Co in.”
An old yet kind voice ca from inside the room.
The voice was upright and llow, compelling Mu Fan to instinctively want to trust it.
Mu Fan approached and placed his palm on the wooden door, gently pushing it open.
The door slowly opened, and Mu Fan saw the interior.
An old man dressed in white silk stood in front of a light brown wooden table, one hand behind his back and the other in front holding two wooden beads, his hair silver and eyebrows snow-white.
And what struck Mu Fan the most was the Grandmaster’s bearing, as if a mountain lood before him.
The elder quietly watched him, yet seed to be a towering mountain standing before his eyes.
“Young friend Mu Fan?”
The friendly smile and amiable voice imdiately made Mu Fan feel kindness.
Where was the eeriness that Bai Guyue had described?
It was clearly a very nice elderly man.
“Uh, yes. Old Master Bai, hello.”
He initially wanted to call him Old Master Bai, but that didn’t feel quite right, so Mu Fan ultimately addressed him as Grandpa. Would calling him Old Sir seem too distant?
Mu Fan really knew too little about these social niceties.
“There’s no need for formality; I am Bai Yiduo. Just call Master Bai,” the old man said warmly as his gaze swept over Mu Fan.
Master Bai!?
The term felt extrely familiar to Mu Fan. As he rapidly thought it over, he was struck by a sudden realization—a fragnt of mory flashed through his mind.
Star Curtain Auction, Beishan Xinyue.
“The auction for the next item will now begin…”
“As for which Great Pharmacist created it, it’s from the hands of Master Bai. That na speaks for itself, doesn’t it?”
The final price of 7 million was for just those few bottles of dicine.
Bai Guyue had also ntioned she was from the Biological and Pharmacist Association…
So the so-called First Pharmacist “Master Bai” was actually Bai Guyue’s grandfather!
Heavens!
Mu Fan truly felt like he had hit the jackpot.
The legendary Great Pharmacist was actually standing right in front of him, looking at him with kindness and benevolence.
“Hello, Master Bai, I’m Mu Fan!”
Mu Fan quickly bowed again and spoke. With such a strong backer, even he knew to cling onto this opportunity.
Bai Yiduo’s gaze lingered on Mu Fan for a mont, then furrowed his brows when he saw Mu Fan’s neck.
“Did Little Yue’er give you an injection in your neck?”
Mu Fan nodded to indicate that she had.
“How did that girl beco so bold now!”
“It’s okay, Master Bai. Bai Guyue is very skilled; it didn’t hurt,” Mu Fan hurriedly spoke in defense of the girl.
Indeed, the mont the kind-looking old man raised his tone, a suffocating presence was imdiately felt.
But how could an old man have such physical strength? Even if he was well-maintained! What was this subtle sense of oppression about?
A flicker of doubt crossed Mu Fan’s eyes.
“That child is just being willful! I apologize if she alard you. Please, feel free to sit,” Bai Yiduo gestured to the wooden chair beside him, indicating for Mu Fan to take a seat.
As Mu Fan sat down, he felt sowhat uneasy.
Bai Guyue had said her grandfather was very formidable. At first glance, he seed very amiable, but just now, Mu Fan sensed so form of oppression.
Now, he didn’t know how to characterize the elder before him. Perhaps more interaction was needed?
“Don’t be nervous. Let ask you a few questions,” Bai Yiduo said, smiling as he sat down.
“Please, ask away, Master Bai.” Mu Fan imdiately sat up straight. First impressions must be important, and he wanted to make a good one before his elder.
Bai Yiduo put down the two wooden beads he had been holding, twisting his beard. This gesture heightened Mu Fan’s anxiety.
“Young friend, do you find butts sexy or breasts?”
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Mu Fan’s back. Is this… Is this Master Bai’s question?
The line of questioning obviously wasn’t over; Master Bai’s voice continued:
“Do you think a single ponytail is prettier or a double ponytail?”
“Lastly, do you prefer black stockings or white stockings?”
Mu Fan’s body stiffened on the spot, with cold sweat covering his entire back.
These unexpected three questions made his neck go rigid.
The key point was…
He was actually seriously considering the question, smacking his lips, Mu Fan raised his head to et Bai Yiduo’s gaze.
The old man’s eyes clearly held an encouraging look.
“That, Master Bai, I think… the key really cos down to the face…”
After speaking, Mu Fan nervously awaited the other’s response.
He was also afraid that this elder, who had suddenly changed his deanor like Bai Guyue—who treated dicine as sothing intangible—was clearly far more intimidating!
Bai Yiduo’s gaze remained fixed on Mu Fan, but Mu Fan noticed the old man’s eyes began to brighten…
