Chapter 198: Chapter 199: Hidden Occupation, So Tempting! (Seeking monthly passes!)

A few students standing against the wall corner couldn’t help but steady themselves on the wall, their eyes fixed intently on Chen Cang, then thought better of it and let go of the wall!

They don’t even need the wall to stand, just respect you!

You frickin’ show off, and you even got the department head to play your straight man!

Behind the door of the ward stood a little fatty of almost 200 pounds, who was Qian Lin. After much deliberation, he still didn’t dare to enter, listening intently to what was happening inside and his heart was filled with excitement!

This brother is awesome!

Proficient in language, math, and foreign affairs. (Language refers to foreign languages, math refers to logic, chemistry, and mathematics, and foreign affairs to surgical operations.)

Impressive, impressive!

I, Qian, am finally not on the mind of this she-devil anymore. Peering through the crack of the door at Ge Huai’s distraught face, Qian Lin couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. With a she-devil as a superior, if you’re not subdued, who is?

With that thought, Qian Lin inevitably felt some sympathy for Chen Cang.

After all, a promising young man with a good head on his shoulders, but with faulty thinking, actually following the she-devil.

Thinking this, Qian Lin sighed and decided to wait a bit longer!

Wait for the she-devil to sign her name before leaving, then go and tell Uncle that Director Meng already has a student, and this person is especially awesome, even more capable than oneself.

At this moment, Meng Xi was moved, the capabilities of this student had seriously exceeded her expectations!

Even Meng Xi wondered if she had the skills like Chen Cang when she was younger?

At this time, Xia Gaofeng couldn’t help but say, “Little Meng, if you don’t want to recruit students, then pass this young man to me!”

“I’ll shamelessly ask the graduate department for an extra quota! Honestly, I haven’t seen such an outstanding young person for a long time, with a boundless future. By the way, young man, what’s your name?”

Chen Cang: “Chen Cang, as in the vast vicissitudes of the ocean and the fields.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Gaofeng exclaimed, “Good! Great name!”

The many resident doctors: What’s so good about it!?

Xia Gaofeng continued, “You are already working, right? At which hospital? Which department?”

Chen Cang: “I’m currently at the Provincial Second Hospital’s Emergency Department.”

Xia Gaofeng was taken aback, “Oh? The department where Director Li Baoshan is?”

Chen Cang nodded, it seemed that Director Li had a reputation in the province.

Xia Gaofeng nodded slightly: “Not bad, not bad!”

[Ding! Xia Gaofeng’s favorability +10.]

…

…

The patient’s condition stabilized, and everybody then returned to the office.

Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang, although happy inside, she kept a calm expression: “Why did you choose me?”

Chen Cang: ……

In broad daylight, why on earth are you spouting nonsense as a teacher?

When did I hug you?

Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t dare!

Seeing Chen Cang not speaking, Meng Xi continued to ask, “Why did you choose me as your teacher?”

Chen Cang finally understood and gave an awkward laugh, “My research abilities are inadequate. I think one of the most important differences between graduate and undergraduate students is the gap in research capabilities. Graduate students should learn to research, to understand scientific research. I’ve read your articles, Director Meng, and you’re really amazing in this field; I think I can learn a lot from you.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Xi nodded slightly, “Give it here.”

Chen Cang hurriedly handed over the advisor signature form.

Meng Xi swiftly signed her own name.

Chen Cang was elated, “Thank you, Teacher!”

[Ding! Hidden task, ‘Becoming Meng Xi’s Disciple’ completed!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the inheritance: Disciple of Meng Xi.]

[Opening Meng Xi’s skill library…]

[Meng Xi’s Skill Library, expend favorability to unlock new skills. Reminder: Different skills require different levels of favorability to exchange, complete master missions to gain favorability.]

Chen Cang was dumbfounded…

I tm…

I frickin’ worked so hard and you give me this as a reward?

Expend favorability to exchange for skills?

This is what they call a hidden task?

This is what they call a hidden profession?

Meng Xi is only about 30, how many skills could she possibly have?

Thinking this, Chen Cang felt like he wanted to cry but had no tears; he couldn’t believe that he had foolishly taken the trouble to get rid of his own graduate student advisor.

Can I… can I return it?

I don’t want her anymore!

Can I change teachers?

With that thought, Chen Cang suddenly felt that women are trampling pigs, and you shouldn’t trust appearances, the prettier the woman, the deeper they harm!

After being filled with countless emotions…

Chen Cang forced himself to calm down; he was terrified that a moment of irrationality could make the last remaining 5 goodwill points that Teacher Meng had for him disappear without a trace.

Isn’t this just the same as selling oneself for glory?

Using goodwill points to obtain skills, the system really came up with that one.

I’m apprenticing, not selling my body!

I, Chen Cang, swear right here! I’ll never be a bootlicker, even if it kills me!

Meng Xi looked at Chen Cang and said, “I’ve got something else going on today. You can go back first. Oh, and leave me your WeChat and phone number.”

Chen Cang nodded, exchanged contact information, then got up and left.

Sitting on the bus, Chen Cang still felt somewhat stifled.

After a lot of thought, Chen Cang decided to have a look at Meng Xi’s skill library.

Thinking of this, Chen Cang immediately opened the skill library.

He was stunned!

Chen Cang discovered that Meng Xi’s skill library actually had three different directional skill trees.

[External Skill Tree]

[Internal Skill Tree]

[Scientific Research Skill Tree]

Chen Cang couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, cautiously opening the External Skill Tree, and he was dumbfounded. He saw that the tree was laden with fruit, each one glowing with a purple hue—these were clearly purple skills!

And, occasionally, Chen Cang could see some fruits glistening with a golden light!

This… This must be perfect-level skills, right?

Isn’t this just too awesome?

Chen Cang was somewhat taken aback.

Is Meng Xi really that powerful?

To possess this vast number of skills?!

[Ding! Meng Xi is the carrier of a profession. Apprenticing under Meng Xi allows you to obtain a hidden profession; the skills are irrelevant to Meng Xi.]

Chen Cang understood the situation now.

While he was apprenticing under Meng Xi, these skills were not Meng Xi’s.

He was merely using Meng Xi to acquire these skills.

With this realization, Chen Cang couldn’t help but get excited.

But…

How to spend goodwill points to gain skills?

[Ding! A level 1 skill requires 20 goodwill points to unlock, each exchange consumes 10 goodwill points, and once successfully obtained, the skill will directly become a purple skill. A level 2 skill requires 40 goodwill points to unlock, each exchange consumes 20 goodwill points; level 3 skills need 60 points, with each exchange consuming 30 points; level 4 skills require 80 goodwill points to unlock, and each exchange will consume 40 points.]

Chen Cang was flabbergasted.

Does this mean I don’t need to upgrade skills?

Direct exchange and it’s a purple skill?

Isn’t this too strong?

Is this the benefit of a hidden profession?

Thinking of this, he felt that everything was too unreal, too fake; a hidden profession could directly grant purple skills!

The feeling was wickedly satisfying!

Moreover, Chen Cang had come to see things clearly.

To get skills!

You’ve got to win over Teacher Meng’s goodwill points!

I have to play the bootlicker for Teacher Meng, don’t I?

The better the bootlicking, the higher the return!

Chen Cang took a deep breath.

He thought about a lot.

He thought about the distant future…

He thought about whether the kids should go to Elliston Elementary School or to the daycare in the village.

This profession would be so suitable for little bootlicker Qin Yue. If she apprenticed under me, she would definitely empty my skill library!

However, thinking about the wealthy women around him, it seemed like he had quite a high level of their goodwill.

So…

I should have an advantage in increasing the goodwill of the wealthy, shouldn’t I?

At this thought, Chen Cang suddenly felt that this hidden profession was desirable!

Never be a bootlicker? Ha!

Oh boy… It’s actually so appealing!
