Learning to play games, a 40-year-old woman achieves a remarkable turnaround.

After this "Red Soil Incident" episode, Yuan Bao's university life in the game world began to return to a normal rhythm.

Early morning at Peking University, sunlight filters through the gaps in the plane tree leaves and falls on the stone path. Yuan Bao, carrying a backpack and with a red bean bun in his mouth, walks briskly toward the library.

More than a week into the semester, she has gradually adapted to the pace of university life—getting up at six o'clock every day, practicing her family's traditional health exercises for a while, and then heading straight to the classroom or library after breakfast.

However, despite adapting, Yuan Bao soon discovered a problem—the knowledge taught in class was too simple for her.

She had already memorized the contents of courses such as "Fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine", "Introduction to Formulas", and "Diagnostics of Traditional Chinese Medicine" by the age of twelve.

When the teacher explains the effects of a medicinal herb, she can instantly recall its growing environment, processing methods, contraindications, and even analyze which pharmacy has the best quality of that herb.

"I almost fell asleep during this class..." Yuan Bao rested her chin on her hand, idly drawing simple sketches of medicinal herbs in her notebook.

Seeing her relaxed demeanor, a classmate couldn't help but lean over and ask, "Yuan Bao, aren't you taking notes? The teacher's explanation of these incompatibilities is quite complicated."

Yuan Bao blinked and casually said, "Oh, this? It's clearly stated in the Compendium of Materia Medica that combining Coptis chinensis with licorice will reduce the efficacy of the medicine, but for damp-heat syndrome, the dosage can be relaxed a bit..."

The classmate stared in disbelief: "You've even memorized the 'Compendium of Materia Medica'?"

Yuan Bao then realized he had let something slip and quickly laughed it off: "Ah haha, no, no, I just saw a little bit before..."

This cannot go on.

Yuan Bao knew in her heart that her level of traditional Chinese medicine skills far exceeded that of ordinary college students, and might even be more profound than that of some professors.

Continuing to attend classes in the usual way is a complete waste of time.

Since that's the case, let's read through all the traditional Chinese medicine books in the Kyoto University Library!

-

From that day on, a peculiar scene appeared in the Kyoto University Library.

Every morning at eight o'clock, as soon as the library opens, a girl with a ponytail appears on time in front of the traditional Chinese medicine bookshelf.

She casually picked up a book and flipped through it quickly, taking only a few seconds to read a page. Her eyes were barely focused on the paper, as if she were just browsing casually.

After finishing one book, put it back, then pick up the next one and continue flipping through it at the same pace...

No one knew that Yuan Bao's eyes were like a scanner, clearly imprinting every word and every picture on the pages of the book into his mind.

Within her mental palace, a vast "Traditional Chinese Medicine knowledge base" is rapidly expanding—

The Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic is categorized under the "Basic Theory" section.

The prescriptions in the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases are automatically matched to the "Application of Classical Prescriptions" section.

The descriptions of medicinal materials in the Compendium of Materia Medica are detailed down to the sub-category of "Pharmacology"...

One can remember everything seen and apply it thoroughly.

Moreover, Yuan Bao discovered that her "max-level alchemy skill" seemed to be able to automatically optimize the prescriptions in the book—some prescriptions recorded in ancient books actually had flaws, and her brain would instinctively deduce a more perfect version.

"Hmm... the amount of astragalus in this prescription is a bit too little. Adding three more qian would make it even more effective..." She flipped through the book while mentally adjusting the prescription left by the ancients.

-

A week later, the library administrator finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Excuse me, are you... looking for some information?" A female administrator wearing glasses walked over and looked at Yuan Bao suspiciously.

After all, what normal person reads a book like that?

Yuan Bao looked up, revealing a well-behaved smile: "Ah, I'm doing literature research, looking for relevant materials, so I need to roughly browse the table of contents and the contents of the books."

"Oh, is that so... I thought you could actually remember the contents of the book just by flipping through it like that."

Yuan Bao blinked and casually pulled out a copy of "Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold" from the bookshelf. This time, in order not to attract the administrator's attention, he slowed down a little.

After flipping through the books, Yuan Bao smiled but didn't answer. He simply continued walking towards the next bookshelf.

-

A few days later, even the regulars at the library began to notice this "book-flipping girl".

"Look, she's here again..."

"Can she really remember it? Or is she just pretending?"

"I asked the administrator out of curiosity yesterday, and she said she was just looking for information, so she only glanced through it."

"So she flipped through so many books but didn't find anything useful?"

"Hey! What's it to you?"

Yuan Bao ignored the surrounding chatter and continued to focus intently on scanning the books on the bookshelf.

Her goal was clear—to memorize all the valuable traditional Chinese medicine classics in the Peking University Library in the shortest possible time.

University life proceeded smoothly, and Yuan Bao withdrew from the game world.

real world.

After another month of careful preparation, the shop finally completed its final renovation and acceptance.

Yuan Bao and Bao Guo stood in the center of the newly renovated shop, looking around—the ancient and elegant TCM clinic area and the fashionable and bright coffee area complemented each other perfectly, and every detail perfectly presented the original design concept.

“It’s even better than I imagined.” Bao Guo gently stroked the smooth surface of the solid wood medicine cabinet and nodded in satisfaction.

Yuan Bao pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee area, letting in the gentle breeze of early summer: "Let's move our place here first, and then choose an auspicious day to officially open for business once we're settled."

During the crucial stage of preparing for the opening, recruitment became the top priority.

After repeated discussions, the brother and sister formulated a detailed personnel plan:

For the traditional Chinese medicine treatment center, they decided to adopt a two-pronged approach.

On the one hand, the two enrolled in the "Traditional Medicine Apprenticeship Training Course" organized by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine to systematically learn theoretical knowledge and prepare for the professional qualification certificate examination;

On the other hand, through Lin Guodong's network of contacts, they began to look for qualified TCM technicians and nurses.

Yuan Bao and Bao Guo sat in their newly renovated office, sunlight streaming through the blinds and casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Bao Guo gently placed Professor Zhang's resume on the solid wood desk, adjusted his glasses, and said, "This Professor Zhang is not only highly accomplished in the field of acupuncture and massage, but also possesses high medical ethics. He has mentored many outstanding students at the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Yuan Bao nodded and picked up the planning document on the table: "Brother, I have some ideas about the business model of the two shops that I'd like to discuss with you." Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, her eyes serious and determined.

"First, I suggest that the TCM treatment center primarily operate on an appointment-only basis." Yuan Bao opened the first page of the planning document.

"This ensures that each customer receives sufficient treatment time and allows for better tracking of the treatment's effects."

Regular business hours will follow the standard five-day, eight-hour work week to ensure reasonable rest for employees.
