Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

A few days later!

In the early morning.

At Cloud Street.

“Master Lin, I’m here and I have good news for you.” Liu Xiao Tian’s face beamed as he came in smiling.

Lin Fan got up and smiled, “Inspector Liu, judging by your expression, it must be really good. But don’t tell me yet, let me guess. You’re getting promoted, aren’t you?”

Liu Xiao Tian chuckled, “I didn’t really get promoted. My appointment didn’t change but my ranking rose slightly. But enough talk about that, look at this.”

Lin Fan instantly became delighted. “I don’t just get a Good Citizen Award this time but I even get a banner? That’s amazing!”

Liu Xiao Tian said, “Of course. Now, every police station in Shanghai knows your great name. You’re even more well-known that our police stations’ own people now. The leader of the Third Drug Enforcement Team even wanted to recruit you but I immediately refused on your behalf.”

“Haha,” Lin Fan laughed. Sometimes, it isn’t good to be too capable. It is easy for people to keep thinking about you if you are too capable.

Liu Xiao Tian exchanged some small talk with Lin Fan. Then, he started to talk about proper business, “I haven’t forgotten what you asked of me. I’ve taken care of everything. The day after tomorrow, there will be an Honors Ceremony. As the main contributor, you must participate. You’ll have to go on stage to receive the award. Of course, the cash award will not be small. For this great service, the organization has decided to award you with $200,000.”

Lin Fan was startled, “They’re so generous?”

Liu Xiao Tian said, “They’ve always been so generous. That day, reporters will be present as well. We have to make some announcements. Sometimes, the information provided by the public comes quicker than what we police find through our investigations.”

“That is true.” Lin Fan nodded. Although the police force was very specialized, they can’t compare to the eyes of the public. The public has sharp eyes. Even a small action by criminals cannot escape their eyes.

Liu Xiao Tian waved his hand, “I’ve told you everything that I should. Remember to come on time in two days.”

Lin Fan said, “Do I still need to wear that monkey mask?”

Liu Xiao Tian laughed, “Why would you still need to wear it? The reporters have already exposed you. No need.”

Lin Fan smiled, “I don’t think I need it either. I did a good thing and I should be open and proud about it. Moreover, this is Shanghai. I don’t need to be afraid of anyone taking revenge on me.”

Liu Xiao Tian raised his thumb, then left the place.

...

At that moment, Fraud Tian looked enviously at Lin Fan and said, “Yet another Good Citizen Award and even a banner. I’m really dying of jealousy.”

Lin Fan held it in his hands and looked closely at it. “Not bad. We’ll hang it in the shop.”

Zhao Zhong Yang said, “Brother Lin, you have too many Good Citizen Awards. Could it be that you want to fill the whole shop with them?”

“I do have such thoughts,” Lin Fan said with a smiled, “But there is still a long way to go. I need to work harder and keep taking down criminals in order to decorate our little shop.”

“Awesome!”

Zhao Zhong Yang was at a loss for words and could only say that it was amazing. Only Brother Lin could dare to think of something like that. No average person would dare to have such thoughts.

After all, how would they come across so many bad people?

At that moment, Zhao Ming Qing’s call came.

“Hello, Ming Qing. What’s up?” Lin Fan asked.

Zhao Ming Qing said, “Teacher, are you busy right now?”

Lin Fan replied, “I’m not. Is there something going on?”

Zhao Ming Qing was acting mysteriously, “No. I will be reaching Cloud Street soon. Come with me to a certain place.”

“Go where? Why are you acting so mysteriously?” Lin Fan couldn’t figure it out even if he wrecked his brain thinking.

Zhao Ming Qing, “Your student will be reaching soon.”

Soon after.

A car stopped outside the shop. Zhao Ming Qing got out from the car. “Teacher, let’s get in the car.”

Lin Fan was curious. “What are you doing? Why are you acting so mysteriously?”

“Teacher, you’ll know if you follow me.” Zhao Ming Qing didn’t say it but he was filled with anticipation. When his teacher sees it, he would definitely be happy.

Seeing how Zhao Ming Qing wouldn’t say it, Lin Fan was helpless as well. He boarded the car. The driver seemed to know where they were going. In the car, Lin Fan asked once more but Zhao Ming Qing still refused to say it. All he said was that Lin Fan would know once they reached.

At a storehouse.

Zhao Ming Qing’s mysterious behavior made Lin Fan very curious. Lin Fan said, “I have to see what it is that you’re being so mysterious about.”

“Teacher, don’t be too shocked when you see it,” said Zhao Ming Qing.

Lin Fan smiled, “Don’t worry, your teacher isn’t so easily shocked.”

They entered the storehouse.

There was something being covered by a red cloth. It looked tall. It wasn’t big but it wasn’t small either. It was as tall as a person.

Lin Fan looked at it and his breathing suddenly became quicker. He couldn’t help but want to take a look.

He lifted the cloth.

Upon lifting it off, an alchemy furnace appeared before him.

This alchemy furnace wasn’t an exhibition item. It was an authentic alchemy furnace that was used in ancient times to concoct pills.

At that moment Lin Fan said in shock, “Ming Qing, this...”

Zhao Ming Qing said with a smile, “Teacher, this is your student’s gift to you. I know that you have been looking for an alchemy furnace, so I personally went to a Daoist shrine to get one for you.”

Lin Fan didn’t say anything. He touched the alchemy furnace in front of him. This was an alchemy furnace with history. “Daoist shrine? How did you get it? It must not have been cheap.”

Zhao Ming Qing smiled, “Do you like it, Teacher? As long as you like it, then it’s worth it.”

Lin Fan patted Zhao Ming Qing on the shoulder and said emotionally, “I like it, I really like it a lot. I never thought that you would remember this.”

Although Zhao Ming Qing was old enough to be Lin Fan’s grandfather, he had seen himself as a student ever since he started learning Chinese medicine from Lin Fan.

“Your student always remembers things about you, Teacher. I heard a good friend say that if I’m looking for an alchemy furnace, I can go look at the Daoist shrine, so I left Shanghai to go and look for it. I finally found it.”

Lin Fan had nothing to say at this moment. He kept patting Zhao Ming Qing’s shoulder, saying, “Good, not bad at all. You’ve put in a lot of thought.”

Zhao Ming Qing smiled happily, “If my teacher likes it, then that’s good.”

Attaining this alchemy furnace hadn’t been simple. But in this society, anything could be done if you had money.

Although he had paid a huge price, at least he managed to get it.

Lin Fan looked at the alchemy furnace and was filled with incomparable joy. With this alchemy furnace, those perfect little intelligence pills would be in his grasps.

Those pressure cookers paled in comparison to this. They were simply incomparable.

At that moment, Lin Fan couldn’t wait any longer.

“Ming Qing, we can concoct pills now,” Lin Fan said excitedly.

Zhao Ming Qing nodded excitedly as well. This was the first time he had seen his teacher so excited.

Lin Fan was really thrilled. He had never expected to really get an alchemy furnace. He couldn’t wait to start creating pills. It was as if those perfect little intelligence pills were waving towards him right now.

Just thinking about it was extremely thrilling.

And although the ingredients were a little expensive, it was all worth it.

During the recent period, he had saved some money. This money was enough for him to create pills.

With the Encyclopedia’s mystical boost, he would definitely be able to do it without fail.

Thinking about it was a little scary.
