TWWMABMTBH Chapter 18
by VolareChapter 18: This is All Doctor Rong’s Sincere Heart
For a moment, the surroundings were silent. Several villagers who were close to Rong Ziyan couldn’t help but steal glances at him, and when they were discovered, they would immediately look away as if nothing had happened.
[Doctor Rong looks gentle and good-tempered, but is this really his style in private?]
[Oh no, I just said that this jingle wasn’t good. Will Doctor Rong refuse to treat my goose now?]
[As expected of a top student. Even his jingles are so unique.]
These people indeed didn’t speak, but the subtitles above their heads had already explained everything. Rong Ziyan opened his mouth, feeling that he should probably explain himself.
But they all deliberately acted along with the play. Rong Ziyan thought for a long time but couldn’t find a chance to speak.
The system immediately laughed its head off: Hahahaha, the village chief is amazing! Host, you actually have a day like this!
Rong Ziyan: Blocked, I don’t want to talk.
Regardless of how embarrassed Rong Ziyan was, the jingle created by the village chief was indeed very brainwashing. Especially after he felt that his recitation was not rhythmic enough, he specially found Xu Da-sang, who had the loudest voice in the village.
“Just use your highest-pitched voice to recite it! Remember! It must be vivid and emotional.”
“Doctor Rong is usually so busy, this is all because he’s worried about us villagers that he wrote this while being so busy.” The village chief patiently persuaded him.
Xu Da-sang was also very moved after hearing this, so he reported to the village brigade every day on time and started singing in the broadcasting station.
The loudspeaker broadcasted it three times in the morning, noon, and evening. Even the eighty-year-old grandpa with bad hearing who walked around at the village entrance in the morning was humming this tune.
And as this jingle spread among the villagers, the emotional value Rong Ziyan earned every day also increased. There was no way, who told the village chief to specifically mark that it was instructed by the knowledgeable and clever Doctor Rong!
What Rong Ziyan didn’t expect was that, mostly because they saw how well their village was promoting it, several other surrounding villages also started doing it.
There were actually many anti-fraud jingles. Some time ago, the country even specially organized a campaign to solicit rural publicity material. Although the ones in those submissions were more standardized, how could they compare with the brainwashing and fun nature of the one from Rong Ziyan’s village?
Therefore, after discussing it with the village chief of Rong Ziyan’s village, the surrounding village chiefs all unanimously chose to use this jingle.
This made Rong Ziyan completely famous in the surrounding ten miles.
At six o’clock in the evening, Rong Ziyan sat in the office of the animal husbandry station, feeding the ducks, while Xu Da-sang’s rhythmic singing was in his ear. His mind was filled with the messages scrolling by in the system.
[Grandpa Li from Little Wang Village’s admiration value is 200], [Brother Liu from Lujia Village’s confusion value is 100], [Milk Grandma from Xu Family Village’s regret value is 1000], etc., and more, hundreds of messages floated by. There was even content like [MC Ba Dan Dan from Lujiatun’s admiration value is 1000].
Rong Ziyan: So what exactly is this MC Ba Dan Dan??
System: I asked the golden turtle, and it said that he’s the number one freestyle rapper in a ten-mile radius.
Rong Ziyan: …
System: The turtle said he even wants to become your disciple now.
Rong Ziyan silently blocked the system, wanting to calm down by himself.
As the jingle spread, Rong Ziyan’s fame also reached its peak in the countryside. It was just that the rumors about him were a little too exaggerated.
At the beginning, they were relatively reliable, like Doctor Rong is very knowledgeable, and his medical skills are excellent. Later, it became Doctor Rong is the reincarnation of the God of Literature, he has fiery eyes and golden pupils, and he can identify liars with a single calculation.
The system laughed so hard that it was about to lose its head, “Hahahaha, fiery eyes and golden pupils, what’s that?!”
However, after being watched for this period of time, Rong Ziyan himself became much calmer and didn’t take it to heart.
Even when a child in the village curiously asked him, “Doctor Rong, I heard you can shoot lightning with your eyes,” Rong Ziyan actually lowered his head and replied seriously.
“Yes! I can not only shoot lightning with my eyes, I can also do other things. Do you know the old Huang’s cow at the village entrance?”
The child: “Yes, I do.”
Rong Ziyan: “I knocked him down with a single needle.”
The child: “???”
Rong Ziyan: “Guess why I knocked him down?”
The child: “Why, why?”
Rong Ziyan: “Because he didn’t do his summer homework!”
“Wow! Doctor Rong is scaring people! Run!” Seeing that Rong Ziyan was teasing him, the child still laughed and ran away. He turned his head and made faces at Rong Ziyan from a distance. However, a row of small hearts popped up above his head, along with a lively “I like Doctor Rong the most”, making Rong Ziyan smile involuntarily.
Just like that, another week passed, and the reward for Rong Ziyan from the Forestry Bureau finally came. Unexpectedly, it was a full 20,000 yuan.
“Why is it so much?” Rong Ziyan himself was also shocked.
And the leader of the Forestry Bureau quickly gave an explanation. It was because the golden turtle was too precious. At the beginning, when it arrived at the wildlife park, the zoo asked experts to examine the golden turtle and unexpectedly discovered a very unfamiliar ancient text engraved on its shell.
After the text was copied and sent to ancient character researchers for deciphering, they found that it was a secret code left by an ancient emperor. After analysis by historians, they finally found the location designated by the secret code. After exploration, they discovered that there was an ancient tomb hidden below! And according to the information currently available, this large tomb complex was the burial ground of a previously undiscovered royal family of a dynasty.
This was undoubtedly a huge discovery. Now that golden turtle was being treated like an ancestor by the wildlife park, and Rong Ziyan had received an even higher reward because of it.
From this point of view, it was also considered good luck brought by that golden turtle. Although not much, it was still good.
Rong Ziyan: It seems that it’s quite impressive.
System: How about host, why don’t you go see him more often at the wildlife park when you have time?
[Resistance value from the golden turtle is 2000]
That golden turtle was probably raised by an immortal. As soon as the system mentioned it, it immediately sensed something and expressed a feeling of “Don’t touch me.”
Rong Ziyan imitated the way the system addressed the golden turtle before and exclaimed: It seems the turtle is also a person of character!
System: …
Dumbfounded by Rong Ziyan’s one sentence, the system fell silent and refused to communicate with him anymore. But Rong Ziyan started to calculate the gold coin value in his mind.
After his tireless efforts during this period, the gold coin value in the system was very close to 600,000. Although the Zhihu post wasn’t providing emotional value as quickly as before, it was constantly reaping it from the public.
And recently, the villages’ broadcasts on preventing fraud had provided Rong Ziyan with a huge amount of gold coins.
In addition to the ones he received from his daily life, he only needed another fifty to sixty thousand to upgrade.
This amount was not that much for Rong Ziyan. But it was coincidental that just when he needed an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime chance came.
Due to the matter of submitting his thesis to the core journal, Rong Ziyan’s tutor asked him to return to the university.
Because if it was just to publish in a regular journal, as long as you wrote a good thesis, found the correct submission address, and ensured the duplication rate, it was basically easy to pass.
Unless it was to submit to an academic journal, that would be relatively more troublesome. Because undergraduate academic journals usually looked at the first author’s identity, educational background, title, and such. But it wasn’t absolute. For example, junior college academic journals never discriminated against the author’s identity.
But if you wanted to publish in a core journal, then you needed a tutor. It wasn’t very likely for undergraduates to publish in core journals, but there were successful precedents. Usually, core journals looked at the first author’s education level and title, and some required research funding and fixed projects.
Therefore, in order to discuss the follow-up matters of submission, the tutor suggested that Rong Ziyan come back to the university.
Rong Ziyan calculated that it would take four hours to get from the village to Beijing. If he left early in the morning, discussed the project with the teacher in the morning at school, ate lunch in the cafeteria in the afternoon and then returned, he could return to the village in the afternoon. It should be acceptable to only delay one day.
Therefore, Rong Ziyan informed the village chief in advance and arranged for the work on his day off. He also informed the villagers of the time he would be away, and then packed up and prepared to go back to school.
At the school, the news that Rong Ziyan was going back was also known in advance by some well-informed people.
An opportunity to publish in a core journal! To come across this during one’s university years was no less than a pie falling from the sky.
Therefore, some busybodies mentioned this in the class group. And they all @Rong Ziyan to congratulate him. At the same time, several people who usually mixed notes with Rong Ziyan couldn’t help but ask for advice on his experience.
“You are usually so busy and also have to work and study, how did you manage to get research results so early? Is this the difference between a genius and a slacker?”
Looking at their sincere tone, Rong Ziyan thought for a while and replied, “Maybe because even though I don’t have a girlfriend, I don’t stay up all night playing ‘Honor of Kings’.”
[Li Fuhui’s depression value is 100], [Wang Quan’s depression value is 100], [Xia Dayu’s depression value is 100]…
The classmates in the class immediately provided Rong Ziyan with gold coins enthusiastically.
This was simply a naked mockery.
University nightlife was so rich, and for the majority of male students, girlfriends and games could be said to be equally important.
Rong Ziyan’s words directly hit the most painful point in their hearts, and the lively class group instantly became silent.
There was even a little fool who couldn’t understand it and asked to get to the bottom of it, “Class monitor, what does this have to do with girlfriends and games?”
Rong Ziyan: “Of course there’s a connection. Because in the nights when you are hesitating about not having a girlfriend and feeling lonely, only able to play ‘Honor of Kings’, I was in the lab figuring out the problems I couldn’t understand.”
Rong Ziyan thought for a while, and added another sentence: “And in the end, you didn’t succeed in getting to ‘Star Glory’ and dropped down from diamond rank. It was a pure waste of time.”
Damn, how realistic was this university life, how naked and unpretentious was this mockery. Everyone immediately didn’t want to talk to Rong Ziyan anymore. And this wave of Rong Ziyan’s also successfully harvested 10,000 emotional values, leaving less than 40,000 gold coins to the final system upgrade.
System: Ahhhhhh! We can finally upgrade!
Rong Ziyan: Hmm, it should be soon, it’ll be fine once we get to school tomorrow.
The system didn’t understand why Rong Ziyan said that. But the next day, when Rong Ziyan stepped into the teaching building and met that Rich Second Generation outside his tutor’s office, the system immediately understood everything.
Yes, Rong Ziyan could indeed collect enough gold coins this time, after all, a big sheep had appeared!
What was unexpected was that the reason why the Rich Second Generation came to the tutor’s office was also to talk about the submission of his thesis.
Even more disgusting was that this Rich Second Generation’s topic was very similar to Rong Ziyan’s, both related to duck diseases.
They were both submitting to the core journal at the same time. If the topics were similar, then when it came to accepting submissions, the editors of the core journal would definitely have to choose. This Rich Second Generation was obviously still trying to compete with Rong Ziyan. So, as soon as he saw Rong Ziyan, he put on a superior attitude.
“You’re here?” The Rich Second Generation was very smug.
Rong Ziyan stared at him for a moment, didn’t answer his question, and instead said something out of the blue, “Do you know that academic fraud is illegal?”
Was Rong Ziyan declaring war? The Rich Second Generation frowned.
But he never expected that the next sentence Rong Ziyan said would be, “Don’t get excited first, I’m sure you have Mediterranean seborrheic alopecia. I suggest you go to the hospital to get checked out as soon as possible.”
“To prevent… going bald at such a young age!”
