"Why are you asking this?"

Chen Mu turned his head back to the school ambulance.

After closing the car door.

He habitually explained, "If there are symptoms of dampness, it's possible that people may fall into a deep sleep after consuming ginseng."

On the other end of the phone,

He Xingchen fell into silence.

Just when Chen Mu thought the other side was about to hang up, a rustling sound suddenly came through the phone.

Before long.

He Xingchen's sneaky voice came through, "Dr. Chen, I only have a Peach Wood Sword keychain, do you think that will work?"

Chen Mu frowned, "What's this got to do with a Peach Wood Sword?"

On the other end, He Xingchen's voice quickly rose, "Didn't you just say my roommate is possessed?"

Chen Mu: "…"

—

"Possessed? A student of traditional Chinese medicine burst out laughing!"

"What's wrong with being possessed? I interpreted it the same way as He Xingchen. Wasn't Dr. Chen saying something about possession?"

"This girl named He Xingchen sounds familiar. Hasn't she been to the campus clinic before?"

"If I mention her name, you might not remember, but if I say that NPC, you'll recognize her right away, right?"

"Right, the one with the nosebleed stack symptom buff?"

"…"

—

Chen Mu rubbed his slightly aching temples.

Just about to speak to explain.

On the other end, He Xingchen's nervous voice came through once more.

"Dr. Chen, I always knew you might know some things, but I didn't expect you to be so incredible!"

"You even understand possessions!"

"I've got my Peach Wood Sword ready, quickly tell me what to do next!"

"Should I draw a talisman, or perform a ritual?"

Listening to He Xingchen's voice, Su Bingbing was laughing so hard her stomach hurt in the back.

Chen Mu sighed softly, "He Xingchen, you misunderstood, I was talking about dampness, not possession."

The principal is still lying in the hospital.

If this comes to light and Hai City University's reputation plummets.

It's possible that old guy could come running out of the ICU to fight with me.

"External factors causing disease with characteristics of heaviness, dampness, and downward movement are referred to as dampness."

"This is a traditional Chinese medicine explanation regarding dampness; if your roommate shows symptoms of it, consuming ginseng might cause drowsiness."

Over the phone, He Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief.

"Dr. Chen, will the dampness you mentioned be lethal if they consume ginseng?"

Chen Mu: "Under normal circumstances, it won't be. If you're worried about your roommate's condition, I can take a look at them when I get to the school later."

"However…"

At this point,

Chen Mu couldn't help but frown slightly, "Do college students eat so well nowadays? Going to school and eating ginseng?"

On the other end, He Xingchen cheerfully said, "That ginseng was something my roommate picked up on campus this morning."

"Dr. Chen, I'm telling you, please don't let anyone else know!"

"My roommate is quite particular!"

"She believes found treasures should be shared, so that ginseng was split into four parts, and each of us in the dorm got a share!"

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow slightly, "Picked it up on campus?"

"How did you find it?"

He Xingchen proudly replied, "Today isn't it military training? Someone from our dorm building pried open the railings of the first-floor water room, and my roommate ran out at about five in the morning to join the fun at the campus clinic."

Chen Mu thought for a moment.

He took out a small notebook from his pocket.

Flipped open to a blank page and pulled out a pen, "What's your roommate's full name?"

"My roommate? She's called Gu Jiaojiao, doesn't it sound lovely?"

"Dr. Chen, let me continue telling you!"

"She went to the campus clinic to join the fun, but there were too many people in line, so she got bored after a few minutes."

"She went to buy breakfast at the school gate, and on the way, guess what she saw!"

"She saw ginseng in the school's green belt!"

Chen Mu waved his hand.

He wrote down Gu Jiaojiao's name, "He Xingchen, don't any of the four of you in the dorm have any common sense?"

"According to our country's law, if the ginseng is planted in the school's green belt, the ginseng belongs to the school."

"Not only did you take the ginseng, but you even told me, a school staff member."

"Hiss! Do you think I should report this to the principal and get you a penalty?"

—

"Huh? This thing has ownership rights? I thought if I picked it up, it's mine?"

"If you picked it up and didn't say anything, maybe it wouldn't matter, but if people know, it depends if the owning entity wants to pursue it or not."

"Within the school premises, all plants belong to the school, that's correct."

"You're all focusing on ginseng ownership? Am I the only one worried about the unlucky Gu Jiaojiao?"

"So funny! Managed to get lucky and find ginseng, kindly shared it with roommates, and immediately got betrayed!"

"But... I checked, and Hai City University doesn't have the environment to grow ginseng; how did it get there?"

"…"

—

"Dr. Chen, is this really necessary…"

"If you betray me, I'll become the traitor of our dorm!"

"How am I supposed to continue my university life! Boo hoo…"

As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking.

He Xingchen's fake sobbing came through the phone.

Chen Mu sighed as he looked at the red light in front of him.

90 seconds, it feels so long…

"You just said, the ginseng was split among you?"

"How many people have eaten it now, and are they all showing drowsy symptoms?"

He Xingchen whispered a few words over the phone, "Besides me, my other three roommates all ate it!"

Chen Mu was surprised, "They all ate it?"

"Aren't dormmates supposed to be in it together?"

"Why didn't you eat any?"

He Xingchen chuckled bitterly, "Dr. Chen, you know my health condition; that stuff is very nourishing! What if I get a nosebleed after eating it?"

"But, I was planning to bring it home to honor my parents, Dr. Chen, please don't tell the school!"

Hearing what He Xingchen said,

Chen Mu, who'd been counting down the traffic light seconds, suddenly became serious.

"He Xingchen! Are you saying that all three of your roommates who ate the ginseng are in a deep sleep?"

"How did you discover they were all in such a deep sleep?"

Over the phone, He Xingchen was still unclear why Chen Mu's tone suddenly became so serious.

But she looked over at her three roommates and honestly answered, "It's almost time for our major class, and our professor for this course is super strict!"

"If you're late once, you fail the final right away!"

"I called them to go to class, but found that they wouldn't wake up…"

"I was at a loss, so I wanted to ask you, Dr. Chen, if there's a way to quickly wake up someone who has eaten ginseng?"

Chen Mu seriously patted Driver He's shoulder beside him: "Old He, let's not go back to the campus clinic, let's head to the girls' dormitory first!"

Old He nodded with a smile, "No problem, Dr. Chen!"

Chen Mu lowered his eyes, "He Xingchen, first tell me, how much ginseng did each of your three roommates consume?"
