At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?-Chapter 394 - 390: Wang Long, Aid Conference (Two in One)_2
Chapter 394: Chapter 390: Wang Long, Aid Conference (Two in One)_2
“Wait for it, I recently learned some new fighting techniques, and I’m quite confident that I can beat the squad leader!” Wang Long said with his head thrown back, brimming with confidence.
But his eyes were still darting around, as if he was afraid the squad leader would hear what he was saying at the moment.
However, he did not see the squad leader, who was late for getting meals just now and did not eat with them. Given the squad leader’s speed of eating, he should have left by now.
Wang Long let out a slight sigh of relief; he indeed had learned some new fighting techniques recently, but he knew that he still had quite a gap to close with the squad leader.
“Damn! I still need more practice!”
Wang Long placed his tray on the conveyor belt and, as he turned around, clenched his fist, his eyes filled with a longing for the challenge.
“Long, you’re not on duty tonight, right? Come on, let’s go to the combat room and have a match?”
Coming over from the other side were two people who usually hung out with Wang Long.
“Let’s go! I’ve learned some new moves recently, I’ll show you guys a thing or two.”
Wang Long reached out to hook the other person’s shoulder, but he was a bit too short in stature.
This was the tall guy Zhang Ge had mentioned; his name was Pang Gu, the only one in the whole squad, besides the squad leader, who could fight him to a draw.
“Sure, I’ve also picked up some new techniques recently.”
A glint of sharpness appeared in Pang Gu’s eyes, though he looked big and burly, he was far from clumsy.
On the other side, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue had arrived at the meeting room.
Perhaps because they were early, there weren’t many people in the large meeting room, mostly older men.
The older generation usually places great importance on punctuality, preferring to arrive an hour early than be late.
Seeing the two young people enter, the elders sitting at the front and chatting turned their heads to glance at them, but did not linger on Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue.
Even though the two were eye-catching, a beautiful face was less attractive to them than the knowledge they were currently discussing.
“I came across a patient with retrocecal appendicitis a few days ago… almost had him misdiagnosed as acute cholecystitis by my doctors, sigh, they just lack experience.”
“Retrocecal appendicitis, huh? That’s pretty rare, a misdiagnosis is quite normal.”
“The case I saw last time was something I had never encountered…”
“…”
Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue found seats near the aisle and sat down, with a couple of rows in front of them occupied by some middle-aged people, who seemed to be in their forties.
Their voices were relatively loud, and Gu Yu could hear what they were discussing.
Only he didn’t understand the specialized terms they were using.
“Such a strong academic atmosphere.”
Gu Yu gave Lin Xinyue a helpless smile. The sounds of people exchanging industry experiences and treatment knowledge surrounded them, making him feel somewhat out of place with Xinyue.
“Hehe, aren’t you a surgeon too? You could also find someone to talk with, right?” Lin Xinyue suggested.
Gu Yu quickly shook his head; he wasn’t the type who enjoyed initiating conversations with others.
He would rather sit and daydream than exchange knowledge about surgical operations with someone.
It wasn’t that he was aloof, but rather he didn’t know what to talk about. Although he had the skills of a primary surgeon, his clinical experience wasn’t plentiful.
And those people were basically discussing various special cases they had encountered during their diagnosis and treatment.
If he were to join in, he could bore the room to death.
So better not to make a fool of himself.
“Shall we read some novels instead?” Gu Yu took out his phone, and even though there was no network, he had cached a few novels on his phone beforehand.
Lin Xinyue leaned in curiously, only to find that all were urban god novels, as well as things like “The Ultimate War King,” instantly losing interest.
“I’m curious, do you read these godly-wealth novels because they have a strong sense of immersion for you?”
Lin Xinyue looked at Gu Yu and then made a funny face.
Gu Yu: “…”
“No, no, no, it’s because the plot is exhilarating! That kind of lavish lifestyle is something we poor people can’t experience,” he explained.
“Poor people…” Lin Xinyue stared at Gu Yu’s face, looking at it seriously several times.
She noticed that he actually managed to say that with a completely straight face!
He curled his lip, “If you were considered impoverished, it might take you several hundred years just to reach a moderately prosperous society.”
“No, no, no, I just mean, when it comes to the protagonist of the novel, I feel like an impoverished person.”
As Gu Yu explained, he casually flipped to the first chapter for her to read.
Lin Xinyue glanced at it and immediately felt embarrassed by the chapter title.
‘Chapter One: Spending Ten Trillion at the Start’
“Ten trillion!???” She was dumbfounded. What kind of bizarre plot starts with spending ten trillion!
Having studied economics, she knew that the annual fiscal revenue of Huaxia was roughly under twenty trillion.
In this book, the protagonist was going to spend ten trillion in just the first chapter…
Was this plot conceived by a rational person?
No matter how you looked at it, it was extremely unreasonable!
“This is so unreasonable… How can you even enjoy such a messy story!?” Seeing Gu Yu turn back to the chapter he had been engrossed in, she couldn’t help but critique.
Gu Yu’s face was full of puzzlement, “I’m reading for pleasure, why should I care about rationality?”
Lin Xinyue: “… I can’t argue with that.”
“And is the kind where you time-travel back to ancient times, starting as a commoner and eventually becoming the queen, reasonable?”
Gu Yu recalled the novels Lin Xinyue had read before and countered with a question.
“How is that unreasonable! Even commoners can dream of becoming a queen!” Lin Xinyue retorted with her neck stiff.
Gu Yu dismissed her argument with a curl of his lip, “Firstly, isn’t the idea of time-traveling pretty unreasonable to begin with?”
Lin Xinyue: “…”
Once again, silence.
“Oh forget it, I won’t argue with you, just read your novel!” Seeing she couldn’t win the argument, Lin Xinyue hugged Gu Yu’s head and turned it towards the phone.
“I’m not reading anymore, a meeting is about to start.”
And with that, Gu Yu put away his phone.
Lin Xinyue turned her head and saw a lot of people streaming into the front door of the meeting room. Glancing at the time, there were ten minutes left before the meeting was scheduled to begin.
What was once a spacious meeting room suddenly became crowded.
At least fifty people had taken their seats.
Gu Yu eyed these people, most of them middle-aged men and old men. Without a doubt, they must be well-known experts in their respective fields from within the country.
This trip, dubbed the Ark mission abroad, still had an unclear mandate.
Another five minutes elapsed and a middle-aged man wearing a white coat and a navy cap had appeared on the stage at some point.
He glanced at his watch and then surveyed the room with a smile.
“Haha, we’re nearly all here. Four more minutes and we’ll get started. I believe some of you already know the purpose of today’s meeting,” he said.
“Here, I would also like to apologize to those who were hastily informed and didn’t get the meeting details in time,” he added, bowing slightly in apology.
However, at that moment, two young men around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old walked in inappropriately, yelling as soon as they arrived, “We haven’t missed it, have we?”
“All your fault for insisting on watching the fish, hurry up, find a spot.”
The two bickered and scanned the room until they noticed Lin Xinyue, then unhesitatingly took the seats beside her.
“Sorry, beautiful, squeeze in a bit, there are no seats left.”
Lin Xinyue didn’t respond to the two but instead threw a pleading look at Gu Yu, who then swapped places with Lin Xinyue upon seeing her discomfort.
The young man who was originally seated next to Lin Xinyue looked at Gu Yu with a slightly annoyed expression after the switch.
The military doctor on stage had to hurriedly wrap up his interrupted apology.

“Since the last two people have also arrived, why don’t we start today’s review ahead of time? I’ll skip the pleasantries to save everyone some rest time,” he said.
The military doctor got straight to the point, and the room fell silent.
“Today we have some new faces, so let me introduce myself first. My name is Luo KaiXuan, the chief military doctor on the Ark. In the coming journey, I’ll be relying on everyone’s support,” he said.
“Without further ado, today’s meeting is to discuss the possibility of volunteers joining the humanitarian aid team for the Rohingya Refugee Camp.”
“We’re initially looking to recruit thirty people. Let me explain the situation first and then you can make your decision based on your willingness!”
