A Valiant Life Chapter 898 - I can't be fishing up things from other worlds, right?

What the h.e.l.l is this?

Lin Fan wasn’t speechless because he had fished up bra, but what the heck was that date?

2088?

It’s 2017 now, isn’t it? Who on Earth is so bored to play such a prank?

But when he thought about the angling major cla.s.sification of knowledge, he knew that it couldn’t be so simple. After all, it even had the Encyclopedia’s mystical boost. Could it be that this bra had really come from the future?

He could fish up things from the future?

Zhao Ming Qing saw the stunned expression on his teacher’s face and he thought that his teacher couldn’t believe he had fished up a bra for his first try. Then, he tried to comfort Lin Fan, “Teacher, there are all kinds of things in these waters. It’s perfectly normal. In the past, I’ve even fished up a pot before…”

Lin Fan glanced at Zhao Ming Qing. Even if you’re trying to comfort me, that’s not the way to do it. A pot? Why don’t you fish one up for me to see?

Then, he threw the bra back into the water. “Let’s continue. This was just a single mistake.”

But what Lin Fan didn’t know was that that bra which had submerged into the water was slowly disappearing as if it had never appeared before.

Zhao Ming Qing looked at the small fish in his hand and shook his head before letting it go. “This fish is too small. It’s better to let it continue enjoying its freedom.

Many people fish not to get fish but just as an enjoyment.

If they manage to catch small fish, they would let them go. If they catch a big fish, they would take a photo as a souvenir before letting it go too. This was because they didn’t need fish but just enjoyed the sense of antic.i.p.ation when fis.h.i.+ng and the sense of achievement when they catch something.

…

While they were fis.h.i.+ng, something major happened at Shanghai Chinese Medical Academy.

Chinese Medicine Studies Grade 2.

A group of students had gathered together and their expressions were all unpleasant.

“What did you say? Our Director Zhao has been replaced?” a short and stout student asked in disbelief.

“Yes, he has been replaced. This news hasn’t been announced yet. I heard the teachers discussing it when I went to the office.” The know-it-all female student was in a terrible mood. She loved Director Zhao. To her, Director Zhao was the kindest Academy Director.

At times, when she came across problems that she did not understand, she would go looking for the Director and the Director would seriously answer her queries. And in the school, if there were students who could not afford to pay for their school fees because their families were poor, the Director would exempt them from having to pay the fees. He would even lend personal a.s.sistance to those students to solve any problems they might face.

To the students, Director Zhao was a very good person. He had a great character.

Now that they heard that he was being replaced, they couldn’t bear it.

One person spread the news to ten people and ten spread to a hundred. This news became widely known amongst the students very soon.

“Did you guys hear that the Director is going to be replaced? The new Director is going through the procedures now.”

“D*mn. What on Earth is going on? Director Zhao was doing so well, why would he be replaced?”

“Was Director Zhao promoted? The Director developed the leukemia prescription with Master Lin, he must have been promoted because of that.”

“Promoted my a*s. I heard that he was demoted to an outcast academy to be the director there. Who the h.e.l.l decided all this? Does that person have a brain problem?”

“I came to this school because of Director Zhao. I love listening to Director Zhao’s lectures. Now that he isn’t around anymore, what’s the point of staying? Even if I become a delivery boy outside, I’d rather do that than stay here.”

“Let’s protest! We have to take Director Zhao back.”

“How will we protest?”

“We have to find reporters, of course.”

…

The students were all discussing this incident. Some of the students who had connections had actively contacted reporters and described the entire situation to them.

To the reporters, this was a huge incident.

Everyone knew that Director Zhao had partic.i.p.ated in the development of the leukemia prescription and his contribution had been invaluable. Now that he was being moved from his appointment and he wasn’t even being promoted, there was a problem.

Within the reporters’ circle.

“Did you guys hear? The Chinese Medical Academy’s Director Zhao is being demoted.”

“I heard it. And according to my research, the new director is a Chinese medical professor.”

“That doesn’t make sense. With Director Zhao’s contributions, how could he be demoted?”

“You must not know. This is called killing the chicken to warn the monkeys. Master Lin publicized the prescription instead of handing it to the higher-ups and this caused resentment. However, they couldn’t do anything to Master Lin, so they took it out on his student.”

D*mn, that’s lowly of them. We have to report this and expose them. Let’s use the media to find justice for Director Zhao.”

“Alright, I’ll go to Shanghai Chinese Medical Academy right now to interview some people. Let’s find out what exactly is going on.”

…

By the river.

Zhao Ming Qing caught a small fish every ten minutes or so.

But on Lin Fan’s side, it was a little f*cked up. Half an hour had pa.s.sed but he hadn’t even caught a shadow of a fish. This didn’t make any f*cking sense. Could it be that all the fishes on his side had gone over to his student’s side?

“Hey, Teacher, that’s a little strange. Why haven’t any fishes taken your bait even after so long?” asked Zhao Ming Qing.

Lin Fan was helpless. “If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask? There’s no hurry. I’ll keep waiting.”

Just then, a ripple appeared on the water surface.

“Teacher, something is happening on your side.” Zhao Ming Qing had been observing the situation on his teacher’s side the whole time. He felt that it was a little weird. His teacher’s bait was perfectly fine, why hadn’t any fish taken it?

Just as he had been thinking about that, there was finally some activity.

Lin Fan was very curious. He wondered what he would reel in this time.

Just don’t let it be a f*cking bra. Otherwise, this major cla.s.sification of knowledge would be rubbish.

It felt quite light, like a small object.

Without exerting too much energy, he raised the fis.h.i.+ng rod.

F*ck! Lin Fan cursed in his heart as he looked from afar. Isn’t that a f*cking bunch of gra.s.s?

Zhao Ming Qing was dumbfounded. What was up with his teacher? Could it be that he had done some sort of unspeakable act? Why was it that all he fished up was such rubbish?

It can’t be that he offended the legendary River G.o.d and got cursed to never catch any fish in his life, right?

Lin Fan was annoyed. He pulled the fis.h.i.+ng line in. but when he took a closer look, he was stunned.

Zhao Ming Qing was the same as they both exclaimed simultaneously.

“Red sage?”

“It can’t be. Why would there be red sage in the water? It isn’t suitable for it to live down there. It can’t be that someone threw this red sage into the river, right?” Zhao Ming Qing muttered. However, when he took a closer look, he was even more puzzled.

“Teacher, look at those roots. Why are there nine green lines? Could it be rotten?”

Zhao Ming Qing was very familiar with Chinese medicine. With one look, it was clearly red sage but then, something wasn’t quite right. Those green lines were very strange.

At this moment, Lin Fan was stunned. He had recognized what it was.

It was red sage indeed, but it was a ninety-year-old red sage.

Red sage was typically harvested two or three years after planting. But this ninety-year-old red sage was something he had never seen before.

Could it be that it came from another world?
