Chapter 6

At this moment, Chu Tianlin already possessed two of Hu Jianming's software programs. Although they were basic versions, they were enough to allow Chu Tianlin to make a living. This was the change that the Computer Butler had brought to Chu Tianlin, so he was determined to explore all the functions of the Computer Butler.

After all, the Computer Butler had previously mentioned that the current host's capacity could only accommodate five basic skills, and only two skills could be run simultaneously. In other words, the "computer" he had, whether in terms of hard drive space or RAM, was extremely limited. Therefore, hardware upgrades were absolutely necessary!

Next, the electricity Chu Tianlin had just obtained through eating was quickly consumed, and the Computer Butler also displayed the words "Calculating."

After about six or seven minutes, the calculation was finally complete. Then, a line of text appeared on the virtual screen, listing over thirty traditional Chinese medicines, including trichosanthes root, lily, and dragon palm blood. Below these medicines were the methods for decocting them.

Chu Tianlin then asked, "How effective are these traditional Chinese medicines? Can they make me superhuman?"

The Computer Butler bluntly replied, "This method can only optimize the hardware of this machine to match the host's processor and memory."

Chu Tianlin responded, "To match the host's processor and memory? That's not bad."

Although this method could not turn Chu Tianlin into a superhuman, at least it could bring all aspects of his body to a level stronger than the average person, and his vision could be restored to 2.0. This was already quite good. Then, Chu Tianlin asked, "Is it possible to upgrade all my hardware and processor?"

"Theoretically, yes. The host needs to complete tasks released by the service provider, obtain data, and download the upgrade package."

"Data again. When will the service provider release the tasks?" Chu Tianlin thought to himself.

Although the Computer Butler had calculated the prescription, using a stove was not allowed on campus, so Chu Tianlin had no way to decoct the medicine. However, fortunately, a traditional Chinese medicine shop near Fuzhou University offered a service to decoct medicine for customers, though it charged a fee. Chu Tianlin's family was not well-off, but they were not so poor that they couldn't afford it.

Chu Tianlin had no problem with expenses at school; he could afford a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine. After printing out the prescription and decoction method from the virtual screen, Chu Tianlin went to the traditional Chinese medicine shop. Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is not as widespread as Western medicine, as Western medicine works quickly and is convenient to use.

Although traditional Chinese medicine has introduced ready-made medicines, it still hasn't surpassed Western medicine. The traditional Chinese medicine shop had few customers. Chu Tianlin directly handed the printout to the pharmacist and said, "Sister, I have the herbs and the method here. Please decoct three doses for me!"

Chu Tianlin had already asked the Computer Butler about the effectiveness of this prescription. The prescription was tailored to Chu Tianlin's body, and while it wouldn't harm others, it wouldn't benefit them either. It might cause diarrhea, hiccups, or nosebleeds.

The pharmacist, who was in her thirties, seemed to have some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. The variety of herbs on Chu Tianlin's prescription was complex, and she couldn't fully understand their effects, but they didn't seem harmful. She said, "No problem. Fifty yuan as a deposit. Come back in two hours to pick up the medicine." "Okay."

Chu Tianlin paid and left the shop. As he turned around, he saw a girl in a white dress walk in.

The girl looked to be around Chu Tianlin's age, tall and slender, with long, smooth, and fair legs. She had a perfect figure and an angelic face, with long black hair cascading over her shoulders, contrasting sharply with her fair skin. If Zhai Xiaolan were to walk with this beauty, she would look like an ugly duckling.

Chu Tianlin quickly recognized the beauty; she was a well-known campus beauty at Fuzhou University, with a fairy-like aura. She was Yin Xuerao, a classmate in the Foreign Languages Department. Chu Tianlin knew Yin Xuerao, but she didn't know him. However, after four years in the same campus, Yin Xuerao found Chu Tianlin somewhat familiar.

Although she was a great beauty with an impressive family background, Yin Xuerao wasn't someone who looked down on others. She smiled politely at Chu Tianlin and entered the shop. Chu Tianlin felt as if he had seen the smile of Qiuxiang, and his soul seemed to float away.

Such a beauty, with her fairy-like appearance, if she were to favor him, it would be a wonderful thing. But Chu Tianlin could only dream. Currently, the gap between them was too great, almost as if they were from different worlds. He had to improve himself first!

Back in the dormitory, Chu Tianlin excitedly told Feng Shirong, "Fatty Feng, do you know who I just met?"

Feng Shirong asked, "Who did you meet? The head of the department?" Chu Tianlin waved his hand and said, "Don't be a buzzkill. I just met Yin Xuerao. She's perfect!"

Feng Shirong replied, "Perfect is perfect, but she's not our type. Why don't we download a few videos from Boss Hua and watch some Japanese beauties?"

Chu Tianlin immediately got angry and said, "Don't compare my little fairy to those trash from Boss Hua!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Tianlin went to the traditional Chinese medicine shop to pick up the medicine. Unfortunately, the little fairy, Yin Xuerao, was already gone. He brought a jar of traditional Chinese medicine back to the dormitory but didn't drink it immediately.

Although it was his first time drinking such a concoction, Chu Tianlin had read many martial arts novels where many miraculous elixirs would cleanse the body, leaving it full of impurities. He estimated that even if his jar of traditional Chinese medicine didn't cleanse his body, it would likely make him have a few bowel movements.

So, after bringing the jar of medicine back to the dormitory, Chu Tianlin immediately prepared a towel and other items, then headed straight to the school's bathhouse. Outside the bathhouse, he drank the entire jar of medicine in one go, ignoring the curious looks from others, and then entered the bathhouse to start washing.
