University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 712: Chapter 528: 100 Bucks to Bribe You to Flunk for Me! (Part 2)

Also, on the campus path, helping students pick up all sorts of strange end-of-semester assignments.

Facing the videographer’s speechless gaze, Chen Mu couldn’t help but laugh, "Do you find it incredible to be picking up these things in the middle of the night?"

The videographer nodded.

Chen Mu dismissively chuckled, "This is nothing, I’ve picked up even more outrageous things on campus."

"Have you ever heard of ’buying life money’?"

The videographer nodded, "It’s money thrown on the ground by terminal patients or their families, supposedly allowing them to trade health or misfortune with the person who picks it up."

"But all of these are unverified metaphysical claims."

Speaking of which.

The videographer involuntarily shivered again.

Looking at Chen Mu with eyes that seemed somewhat unusual.

It just made Hai City University’s campus feel even spookier than he had previously imagined.

He whispered, "Dr. Chen, there’s not actually ’buying life money’ on the ground at your school, is there?"

—

"No way! This fragile college student doesn’t believe it. If it’s real, I would have pocketed it!"

"At the end of the month, you throw some ’buying life money’ on the ground, all the fragile college students will gladly do it."

"I’m all about not believing it, the money’s mine!"

"That’s easy to say, but fragile college students aren’t that bad, right? Throwing ’buying life money’ at school?"

"I’m from Hai City University, and this time I really feel Dr. Chen is exaggerating. Neither I nor my friends have ever encountered ’buying life money’!"

"I’m also from Hai City University. Is it possible... that Dr. Chen is just using ’buying life money’ as an example..."

"In recent years, with mobile payments, it’s better. A few years ago, when we still used cash, you’d really see some fifty or hundred yuan bills in the bushes on campus... and no one dared to pick them up..."

"???"

"So I can’t afford a plane ticket home at the end of the year, not because Hai City University is too far, but because I started school too late???"

"If you follow this logic, did the alumni from previous years become rich?"

"No, no, no!!! That money is too wicked; the seniors didn’t dare touch it!!!"

"..."

—

Listening to the videographer’s cautious questions.

Chen Mu chuckled and shook his head, then said, "Naturally, there isn’t ’buying life money’ on the ground at our school."

"That’s good, that’s good..." The videographer felt the campus of Hai City University wasn’t as eerie as before.

At that moment.

Chen Mu’s slightly cheerful voice rang out again: "However, the things that the money on the ground are intended to buy might be scarier than ’buying life money’ for fragile college students?"

"What?"

Once again, the videographer’s imagination ran wild.

Chen Mu: "Those guys might have been inspired by the ’buying life money’ jokes, and at the end of the semester, they start throwing money on the road. But what they’re trying to ’buy’ isn’t life, it’s grades..."

"They want to buy passing grades from their fellow students."

Videographer: "Huh?"

He thought his imagination was already quite vivid.

But at this moment.

"Basically, if you pick up my money, you owe me your passing-luck on the exams."

"As college students, right before finals, the Kobe and Conan posters at the school gate are the hottest sellers, so coming up with something like ’buying grades’ might not be all that surprising?"

Videographer: "..."

Really.

Not surprising?

—

"Wow! ’Buying grades’ sounds great! When it comes to the end of the semester, I’ll throw some too! If a straight-A student picks it up, wouldn’t I pass?!"

"No way... You guys actually believe this ridiculous concept?"

"Why not believe it? I’m so far from passing, it’s worth a shot!"

"Yeah! What’s wrong with buying some peace of mind?"

"Honestly, there’s still some time before the finals, right? Instead of thinking about this nonsense, you should start reviewing early."

"I’ve already started reviewing, but what if the results aren’t satisfactory? It’s always good to have a backup plan."

"Okay, okay! Two-pronged strategy, right? One hand on science, the other on metaphysics! You really know how to prepare!"

"My roommate has already gone down to find his bank card, ready to delve into metaphysics, and is going to withdraw cash tomorrow."

"Different way of thinking, folks! If you don’t believe this, wouldn’t you be able to make a fortune on campus tomorrow?"

"Hmm! The friends on the bullet screen are really quick-witted!"

"Whether I can afford lipstick for my girlfriend this month depends on how much you all don’t want to fail!"

"With great rewards come great efforts!"

"..."

—

Chen Mu glanced at the videographer’s inexperienced look.

Chuckling, he said, "This is just the beginning; did you know that apart from military training, the number of patients at the school clinic also increases at the end of each semester?"

The videographer shook his head.

Chen Mu chuckled and said, "Most of these are because of the end-of-semester exams, and the patients mainly fall into two categories."

"One category is those who try all sorts of ways to improve their memory right before exams."

"They buy all sorts of things online, claiming to boost memory, and end up needing help at the school clinic because they made themselves sick."

"The worst case was one student who damaged his kidneys, and the school later introduced new rules because of this."

"Who knows how many of those fragile college students actually read the school regulations?"

Hearing Chen Mu’s words.

The videographer’s lips twitched.

Is this it?!

There are still people online making fun of old folks for buying health supplements, isn’t this a similar scam?

Are there really college students who get fooled?!

Just listening to it.

The sense of disbelief is overwhelming.

In the videographer’s overly surprised gaze, Chen Mu chuckled and nodded, then said, "Yes, it’s just like this!"

"If you don’t believe it, you can visit the school clinic at Hai City University at the end of the year; we have such cases every year."

"Final exams, after all, there’s always some panic-induced approach."

—

"What? Those drugs can actually harm your body?"

"At this moment, a fragile college student is shivering; I really bought it! I really ate it!"

"???"

"When Dr. Chen said it, I treated it as a joke. Dude, you really mean it!"

"I failed two courses last semester, and recently can’t concentrate on studying, so I bought some supplements online that are said to help quickly tackle exams..."

"Alright, I get it now. It’s not that buying health supplements leads to aging, but those who buy health supplements are getting older."

"I thought these scams targeted only the elderly group. Didn’t expect fragile college students too..."

"Fragile college students are prime targets for telecom fraud!"

"I used to not understand why people get scammed, but now I kinda do..."

"Amazing!"

"..."

—

"And the other category?"

"Besides those who take health supplements, what is the other main group of end-of-semester patients like?"

The videographer heard from the director in his earpiece that the livestream popularity was increasing.

Completely forgot how scary the campus is at night.

Looking at Chen Mu with eyes almost gleaming.

Standing before him now is more than just the school doctor at Hai City University.

It’s also his career performance!!!

"The other category..."

Chen Mu recalled, a more helpless grin forming at the corners of his mouth, "This other one is even more intense..."

"I think it was back when I just joined Hai City University. The principal wanted the fragile college students to know there was a place on campus to take care of their health, so he put a small note on the university’s website explaining that the school clinic offers traditional medicine."

"It was from that point that I got into trouble..."

"Every time it gets close to finals, a group of fragile college students comes to the school clinic, knocking and asking if I can prescribe them some traditional medicine to boost memory, preferably something that will keep them from failing."

Videographer: "Huh?"
