Chapter 423: Chapter 242: Primordial Immortal Qi Descends Upon the World

The autumn wind sweeps up the fallen leaves.

Today, the parking lot next to the conference hall at the North Suburb Base is packed.

A row of black cars, varied in appearance, yet all share the same powerful aura.

The security guard carefully, with a smiling face, guides yet another black car to its spot.

"Alright, here we go!"

The car door opens, and the driver in his forties quickly steps to the back seat, opens the door, and escorts his boss out.

"Professor Li, we’ve arrived!"

A middle-aged man steps out of the car, stands tall, stomps his feet in his large leather shoes, bald with a protruding belly, wearing a subtly reflective thick black suit, his expression serious, his eyes showing a hint of excitement, it is none other than Li Fangming!

After getting out, he looks at the conference room in the distance.

He asks the driver to wait here, and then takes his secretary, heading towards the conference room with head held high.

The security guard hands the driver a cigarette.

"Buddy, come with me over there, let’s go sit in the security office.

"Today’s meeting is urgent, many leaders have arrived, the drivers are all over there."

Li Fangming laughs, takes the cigarette, and follows the security guard across the parking lot.

"Brother, what kind of meeting is this today?

"Seems very high-level?

"I’ve never seen Professor Li attend a meeting so formally, so excited!"

The security guard blows a smoke ring.

"I don’t know either... but I heard that those who can enter this venue today are at least Sequence Eight.

"Not even a hundred in the entire West State City.

"And... video conferencing, nationwide meeting, hosted from Shangjing.

"Anyway, it’s definitely high-level!"

The driver nods and takes another look at the inconspicuous conference room, silently remembers the security guard’s words, preparing to boast later.

Swoosh...

Another car drives into the parking lot.

The security guard perks his ears, just about to run back to guide, but upon seeing the car, his face changes, immediately pulls out a baton, brandishing charged towards it, running to the driver’s side!

"Hey! Get out!

"There’s no place for you to park here!"

Turns out this car is a shabby minivan.

The paint job is patched, body is dented, headlights filled with grime, the gaps in the body could fit a mouse.

Oddly, the car’s front windshield is opaque, can’t see inside from outside, but the security guard doesn’t care.

"There’s an important meeting today, the leaders are parking here, no spot for you, move this jalopy away!"

Swoosh...

The car window opens a crack, a hand reaches out holding a bright red expert certification.

The security guard hesitates for a moment, tilts his head, peeks at the book.

Only sees a golden sword and shield emblem on the cover, no words.

"What the hell is this? Never seen it before! Don’t know it! Stop fussing, move move!"

He’s shouting, when Professor Li Fangming’s driver suddenly realizes something, quickly rushes over, shouting towards the inside of the minivan.

"Expert Bai Mo, don’t get the wrong idea!

"Indeed, parking is difficult here today, I’ll guide you!"

While shouting, he’s signaling the security guard to move aside.

Li Fangming’s driver recognized Bai Mo’s shabby minivan!

...

The minivan parks well.

Bai Mo, as usual, wearing a black sweater, carries his disciple Moon Tail on his shoulder, with a tablet under his arm, gets out of the car.

He glances at the driver with a pleased face, and the security guard’s embarrassed face.

Looks at the row of luxurious official cars, then looks at his shabby van, wrinkles his brow, tugs at the corner of his mouth.

Thinks it’s really not the security guard’s fault.

"Sorry, a little misunderstanding."

With an apologetic tone, he nods slightly, carries his disciple, and walks towards the conference hall.

Received notice today, there’s a very important meeting here, he must attend.

Just as he leaves the parking lot, he coincidentally sees Professor Hong Anxi and Qu Hailou, both jog over, smiling and exchanging greetings.

"Expert Bai Mo, we wrote another paper on Mycelium Healing Patch recently, we’d appreciate your review.

"Can we list your name as corresponding author?"

Bai Mo feeling slightly embarrassed.

"No need for such formality. I can’t be the corresponding author, just list my name at the end."

Professor Hong Anxi quickly waves his hand.

"No no no!

"If your name is at the end, no one else can be ahead."

...

In the parking lot, the driver and the security guard look at Bai Mo’s back from afar.

"Who’s that handsome guy?

"A celebrity?"

The driver shakes his head.

"That’s Sequence Seven’s Expert Bai Mo!

"See, he doesn’t need to wear a suit for such meetings. Whatever’s comfortable, he wears.

"He shares an office next to my Professor Li, heard his ride is a shabby minivan, thought it was a rumor, didn’t expect it to be true?"

The security guard’s face is full of embarrassment, feeling somewhat wronged.

"These people... love to play the pig to eat the tiger, huh? What kind of style is this?

"He comes in a shabby minivan, who knows what he does?

"Isn’t this just messing with people?"

...

Walking towards the conference room with Professor Hong Anxi, Bai Mo notices the two gazing eyes behind him.

Not only the security guard feels awkward, he feels awkward too.

"Maybe I should really get a more presentable car?

"But I don’t have that much money in my account.

"Drive Su Yaoyao’s car?

"That one’s small, uncomfortable, hard to modify... after all, it’s someone else’s."

Feeling down, Professor Zhang appears wearing a lab coat, happens to walk over and joins him with a smile.

"Expert Bai Mo, what a coincidence?

"The bonus for Mycelium Healing Patch has been credited.

"Have you received it?"

Ah?

Bai Mo pulls out his phone, glances at recent messages, soon finds a notification of the credit.

"Ah? So many commas? So many zeros?"
