Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

Chapter 224: The Great Battle in the Capital (4)

Lantian sighed again and sat in front of the window, wanting only to scratch his head.

A week had passed since the deadline for going to the countryside, and Xia Jun and Song Xiang, the scumbag couple, had their reputations ruined by her and had to go to the countryside.

But she hasn't figured out how to get to know Ma Pingyuan and Fu Ming?

According to the experience of the previous world, Ma Pingyuan will go to the countryside in more than two months.

This time, how can they avoid being framed?

The original owner did not have a job, but because she was the only daughter in the family, she was exempted from going to the countryside according to policy.

Now that Lantian is here, she doesn’t have to go to the countryside. Every day after the original owner’s parents go to work, she is so bored staying at home alone!

"We can't go on like this. We have to take the initiative." Lantian stood up and paced back and forth in the small room, feeling a little anxious. "Ma Pingyuan and Fu Ming must often go in and out of Jingda. I'll go look around Jingda and maybe find an opportunity."

"Host, I have a secret recipe for tea eggs. I guarantee that the tea eggs you cook will be incredibly delicious. I don't want 200 points, I don't want 100 points, I only want 20 points."

Suddenly, the voice of the self-deprecating Ergou echoed through Lantian's consciousness. Ever since Ergou had secretly deducted ten of Lantian's points to exchange for items, Lantian's Ren and Du meridians had suddenly opened up, and he began to consciously promote and return points frequently.

The arrogant Ergou had a grand dream: to earn himself a body. He carefully consulted the system manual and learned that if he could earn 100 million points, he could obtain a body, choose his own gender, and customize his appearance. He suddenly felt that if his heartbeat had any, it would definitely, should, must have reached over 300.

Lantian was stunned for a moment. Selling tea eggs?

Then, her heart was filled with joy.

"Ergou, you're amazing. You even thought of this idea. Okay, okay, no problem, let's exchange it."

The cocky Ergou couldn't help but secretly give himself a thumbs up.

Haha, he is really kind-hearted and lucky to have met such a host who has a lot of points and is not stingy.

What a lucky life!

Lantian couldn't guess what was going on inside the cocky Ergou. These days, selling things wasn't allowed. If she wanted to exchange something good for money, she had to do it stealthily. By then, she could sniff a few tea eggs a day and sneak around Peking University a few times, no problem.

Early the next morning, Lantian carried a bamboo basket filled with tea eggs that she had carefully prepared.

These tea eggs are cooked using a unique recipe provided by Ergou.

While it was still in the pot, the fragrance filled the entire house, attracting the children from the neighborhood to lie down at the gate and look around.

When she arrived near Peking University, Lantian found an inconspicuous corner and set up her stall.

She was a little nervous. After all, it wasn't her first time setting up a stall, but it was her first time in this era. Even selling small items was enough to worry about getting caught. She looked around cautiously.

After a while, a boy wearing black-framed glasses and holding a few books passed by and was attracted by the aroma of tea eggs.

"Classmate, how much are these tea eggs?"

The boy asked, his eyes fixed on the steaming tea eggs in the bamboo basket.

"It's only 20 cents each, absolutely affordable. If it doesn't taste good, I won't charge you!"

Lantian quickly replied, a warm smile on his face.

The boy hesitated for a moment, took out two cents and bought a tea egg.

He took a light bite, and his eyes lit up instantly:

"Wow, this tastes amazing! Classmate, how did you make these tea eggs? They're so delicious!"

The boy's voice attracted many passing students, and everyone gathered around.

In a short while, more than half of Lantian’s tea eggs were sold.

While collecting money, Lantian chatted enthusiastically with the students and quickly became familiar with everyone.

While collecting money, she racked her brains to make up all kinds of jokes, observations and short stories, taking the opportunity to get closer to the teachers and students.

Lantian looked around at the six or seven people around her and started telling her first joke.

"Worker-peasant-soldier student Xiao Li was taking a mechanical drawing class. The teacher asked everyone to draw a part diagram. Xiao Li racked his brains but couldn't come up with one. Finally, an idea struck him. He drew a large iron lump on the drawing and wrote next to it: 'I'm still forging this part in my mind. I can't draw it yet. Put it here for now. I'll draw it again when it's finished!'"

As soon as she finished speaking, the person next to her laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up.

Although people around found it funny, they were also quite puzzled. Wasn't this student's reaction too much?

"Why are you laughing like that?"

The classmate waved to everyone and took deep breaths to control his laughter.

"Hey, hey, then...that...the tea egg seller, were you eavesdropping on our class? That day, our Zhou Erhu was just like this. You don't know, he drew such a big iron lump, and he confidently said so to Professor Zhang. Oh, no, I can't take it anymore. Let me rest for a while. Wait a minute."

This classmate laughed so hard that he was out of breath and couldn't stand up. Everyone looked at him curiously.

"As a result, Professor Zhang was so angry that his face turned black. Hahahaha."

At this moment, all the classmates around started laughing.

"Little girl, you are amazing. You even know this classic joke in our class."

Countless alpaca passed through Lantian’s mind…..((/- -)/

She really just told a joke casually, but she didn't expect that it would actually bring up something that happened in other people's class.

Someone around spoke up.

"Little girl, you're amazing. These tea eggs look delicious, and I didn't expect you could even tell jokes. I can't take it anymore. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard."

Lantian is very much on the road right now.

She bowed to the people around her and said, "Brothers and sisters, I just want to earn some living expenses! If you think my tea eggs are delicious, please take care of me when you have time. I will tell you a few more jokes."

"Little girl, that's great. Such delicious tea eggs, and your jokes are just great. I'll have two tea eggs."

Many students who were still hesitant took out their money and bought one or two tea eggs.

"Host, you are truly amazing. Now, I think your tea egg business will be able to penetrate the inner world of Beijing University. You will soon be able to chat with the teachers and students of Beijing University."

"Haha, I'm borrowing your good words."

It was rare for Lantian to not have a complaint system, which made Ergou very proud.

While Lantian was showing off to Ergou, he quickly served tea eggs to the students and collected money. He also told a joke at the same time. He was really doing three things at once!

"When the country called on educated youth to go to the countryside, a university professor asked his students in class, 'Students, what is the biggest gain from going to the countryside?'" A student stood up and replied, "Teacher, I think the biggest gain is understanding why chickens caw so loudly when they lay eggs. It's because they, too, contribute to agricultural production, shouting, 'Big, big, big!'"

The students around them burst into laughter. In a short while, just these few people bought up all the tea eggs in Lantian.

In this way, Lantian came to the vicinity of Peking University every day to sell tea eggs.

Gradually, her stall became a popular gathering place for Peking University students and teachers during breaks.

Everyone came not only for the delicious tea eggs, but also to listen to Lantian's novel and interesting stories and various funny jokes. It was so much fun.

Through this opportunity, Lantian gradually integrated into the circle of teachers and students at Peking University and collected a lot of information about Fu Ming and Ma Pingyuan.

"Have you heard? Professor Fu Ming from our school has recently made a major breakthrough in the research of nanomaterials."

A girl holding a tea egg excitedly said to the classmate next to her.

"Yes, Professor Fu Ming is amazing. His classes are very popular and always packed."

Another classmate echoed.

Lantian's ears pricked up when she heard the name "Fu Ming." She pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Is Professor Fu Ming famous? I haven't even heard of him."

"Then you are truly ignorant!"

The girl smiled and said, "Professor Fu Ming is our school's top professor. He is a top expert in the field of nanomaterials. His research results have caused a sensation internationally."

Lantian was secretly happy, it seemed that he had found the right direction.

From then on, she began to intentionally or unintentionally ask her classmates about Fu Ming's whereabouts and preferences.

Finally, on a sunny afternoon, she learned that Professor Fu Ming would attend an academic exchange activity in the library.

Lantian arrived at the library early and waited outside the venue of the exchange activity.

The moment Professor Fu Ming appeared, Lantian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She took a deep breath, calmed her nervous mood, then walked forward with two tea eggs.

"Hello, Professor Fu Ming!"

Lantian greeted with a broad smile, "I sell tea eggs near Peking University. I heard you're an expert in nanomaterials, and I've always been interested in this area. Could I ask you a few questions? Here are some tea eggs I made myself. Please try them."

Professor Fu Ming has been in trouble lately. The people in the Revolutionary Committee have been getting more and more arrogant. In the past, he had a special status, and when the people above him said hello, they basically avoided him.

But recently, I wonder where these people get the courage from?

They always harassed him, all kinds of harassment and temptation. It seemed that they had received some kind of instructions and were constantly testing his bottom line.

Suddenly he saw the little girl Lantian, with white teeth and red lips, and most importantly, clear eyes and full of vitality, which made him feel like he was rescued.

He was moved by Lantian's enthusiasm and boldness, especially by his clear mind, which was not tainted by the world. He took the tea egg and said with a smile:

"Girl, are you interested in nanomaterials? This is not a field that most people can understand."

As he spoke, he took a light bite of the tea egg, and like everyone who has eaten Lantian tea eggs, an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Well, these tea eggs taste good. It seems you have a talent for business."

Lantian felt a little relieved when he saw Professor Fu Ming's kind attitude.

As long as Fu Ming doesn't reject her, she will definitely have a chance.

She began to ask Fu Ming some basic questions about nanomaterials.

Professor Fu Ming answered patiently, with appreciation gradually showing in his eyes.

He found that although the little girl selling tea eggs had not systematically learned relevant knowledge, she had a very quick mind and many of the questions she asked were very professional and in-depth.

"Girl, you have great potential!"

Fu Ming thought of several of his students, who had been experiencing undercurrents recently, and his face darkened.

He sighed in his heart, perhaps these clear eyes would bring him a different experience.

He looked at Lantian and finally said, "If you are interested, you can come to my class. I believe you will gain a lot."

Lantian was so excited that she almost jumped up. She nodded quickly:

"Really? Thank you so much, Professor Fu Ming! I will definitely go!"

Since then, Lantian often went to attend Professor Fu Ming's lectures. After each class, she would ask Fu Ming some questions, and their relationship became more and more familiar.

Professor Fu Ming was very surprised by Lantian's progress.

He didn't expect that a young girl with no professional background could master so much knowledge about nanomaterials in such a short time.

"Lantian, did you secretly study on your own?"

Once, Professor Fu Ming half-jokingly asked,

"Your progress is so fast that I can hardly keep up with you."

Lantian smiled embarrassedly:

"Actually, I've always loved machinery and nanomaterials. I'm different from other girls. I've loved machinery since I was little. I've dismantled and reassembled everything mechanical in my house. I seem to... I seem to..."

Speaking of this, Lantian frowned slightly.

"I seem to be born with a sensibility for machinery."

She looked at Fu Ming, her eyes full of longing and sincerity.

"Ever since I was ten, I've been thinking about what would happen if things were made of different materials. So, I would find old books at scrap yards and read them secretly. I found that I could understand them all."

After hearing this, Fu Ming's eyes grew wider and wider, filled with surprise.

This is a genius. He is naturally interested in materials science, especially nanomaterials.

Lantian looked at Fu Ming, knowing that what she said touched Fu Ming's heart. Anyway, no one could verify these things, not even the original owner's parents, and they couldn't completely expose her lies.

After all, she spent her entire life studying machinery and materials, especially nanotechnology, in the last century. So, she should be able to get started!

"As for me, after I went back," Lantian paused and continued, "right now, after auditing your class, I went back and read more books and thought more about what you said. I also found that I could understand it very quickly and thoroughly. What's more, you explained it so well that I understood it right away."

Fu Ming looked at Lantian with amazement in his eyes.

Wow, he's so lucky. Even in such a turbulent time, he's actually managed to pick up a treasure like this. Maybe he can even take in a disciple?!
