A somewhat familiar voice suddenly appeared behind Lu Luo, almost causing him social death.
"That powerful woman has appeared again. If my analysis isn't wrong, she should be coming for you."
The person speaking was Han Shiyu, the female doctor Lu Luo had met at Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, the one who had concealed his physical condition for him.
"Doctor Han Shiyu."
"You should call me Professor Han Shiyu now, student Lu Luo."
Han Shiyu slightly raised her ID badge on her chest, which read: "East Ring University, Department of Biology – Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences – Han Shiyu."
Although Lu Luo had finished reading the words on the badge, his gaze did not leave it. As for what he was looking at? Indescribable.
He was pondering what kind of arduous training it took to sculpt a physique to such an extent!
"Have you seen enough?"
"Slurp!" Lu Luo wiped his mouth, showing no sign of embarrassment.
"Hello, Professor Han Shiyu."
"Perhaps this is the thick skin a first-rate detective needs to possess."
Han Shiyu smiled, her gaze at Lu Luo always carrying an elusive meaning. She turned and beckoned to Lu Luo with a finger.
"I need you for something. Come, follow me to my office."
"Uh, is that appropriate? I'm innocent…"
Han Shiyu looked back, tilting her head and revealing a very provocative expression.
"What are you thinking? I am a Dawnbringer of the Dawn Church. In my heart, there is only Holy Light."
Her voluptuous figure, her restrained yet alluring face—many beautiful women possessed these. But when combined with the natural piety for the Holy Light emanating from her face…
Tsk!
Even with Lu Luo's 10 levels of self-control, he couldn't help but tremble. As for the remaining 90 levels of self-control, forget it, he'd leave that to the perverts.
"Dawnbringers are devout believers who dedicate everything to the Holy Light, serving the dawn. They are powerful combatants and healers.
They always walk with light, do not marry, and even the darkest abyss cannot twist the Holy Light—Dawnbringers."
"A Dawnbringer serving the dawn… Ah! Actually, when I was in my hometown, I often imagined myself turning into a beam of light."
Lu Luo mumbled, then followed behind Han Shiyu without speaking. Han Shiyu, walking ahead of him, subtly curved her lips into a smile… The two arrived at Han Shiyu's personal office, and Lu Luo was treated as free labor to move things.
Potion racks, chairs, various documents and books, as well as some shoes, clothes, and daily necessities—Lu Luo felt a headache just looking at it all.
"Professor Han Shiyu, shouldn't experts like you be equipped with spatial rings or storage bags?"
Han Shiyu was momentarily stunned by Lu Luo's question. Even with her extensive knowledge, she hesitated at this moment.
"Are you talking about folding space technology? Does such a thing really exist?"
"Spatial technology exists, but it's not something you can possess or master currently, not even Han Shiyu."
"Uh, no? Never mind, I'll just keep moving things."
After moving the office, there was the lab to move. After the lab, there was Han Shiyu's personal dorm.
Lu Luo was busy until evening before Han Shiyu finally let him go.
"All done! Student Lu Luo is truly a helpful and good student. How about this, as a reward, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Dinner?"
Lu Luo was about to refuse, but thinking back to the best meal he'd ever had in the wasteland—the one at Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals that almost killed him—he decided to agree.
"Opportunities like this don't come often. Eating something good will be a treat for myself."
He originally thought Han Shiyu would take him to a restaurant or something, but to his surprise, Han Shiyu led him through countless envious and jealous gazes, weaving left and right, and took Lu Luo into the cafeteria.
"I feel like this woman is asserting her claim over you, warning off any undesirables. This woman definitely has ulterior motives for you."
Lu Luo thought to himself:
"Not only is she asserting her claim over me, but she's also getting rid of some annoying flies for herself. But it's quite good to be misunderstood; it saves trouble later."
Since it was mutually beneficial, Lu Luo naturally had no objection to Han Shiyu's actions. However, he did have a strong opinion about her treating him to dinner.
"You're just treating me to this?"
Lu Luo looked at the same sour grain bar he had eaten before, his expression a little grim.
"You'll be eating this for a long time to come. Is there a problem with me treating you to it?"
"Okay, no problem."
Han Shiyu's expression was very calm. She ate quickly, and even though the cafeteria food was terrible, she showed no sign of disgust.
During the meal, Han Shiyu ate every last bit of leftover food, then wiped her tray clean with a napkin before returning it.
Compared to Lu Luo, who took a few bites, found it unappetizing, and then just left the leftovers on the plate, the difference was stark.
"You seem to really dislike the food here. Why? Is the grain bar and pickled vegetables outside more delicious?" Han Shiyu asked.
"The host has grown up, climbed mountains, fought tigers, trained martial arts at Shaolin Temple. He has endured all kinds of hardships, except for the hardship of taste."
Lu Luo couldn't answer. He couldn't exactly say he was a transmigrator. Having grown accustomed to delicacies and various late-night snacks, his lowest tolerance was for wasteland food.
The grain bars and meals outside before were somewhat tolerable, but the food in the cafeteria was simply an anti-human creation.
"It seems you're very dissatisfied with my dinner as payment. Never mind, take this as your reward."
Han Shiyu placed a potion in front of Lu Luo.
"Blue Sky Bio No. 1 Small Yellow Bottle - Type III."
Effect: Comprehensively enhances physical fitness, maximum increase of 0.5. Ineffective if attributes exceed 20.
Description: A product of Blue Sky Biotechnology from year 315. After years of development, it now possesses mature, complete, and safe technology. Highly valuable.
"This thing…"
"Don't be modest. Although this is very expensive, what can I say, Student Lu Luo and I hit it off immediately."
"An older woman three years your senior brings wealth; an older woman thirty years your senior gives you an empire. The ancients truly spoke the truth."
Lu Luo smacked his lips. Actually, he wasn't saying it was too expensive, but rather if he could exchange it for something else, like Dark Spirit Stones, so he could quickly increase his Qi.
With the Devourer, Lu Luo's need for attribute potions wasn't really that great.
"Alright, thank you, Professor Han."
After dinner, Lu Luo finally escaped Han Shiyu's clutches and scurried back to the dormitory area.
Han Shiyu watched Lu Luo's retreating figure, took out her mobile phone, and dialed a number.
"Why aren't you here yet? School is about to start."
A gentle, apologetic voice came from the other end of the line.
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I still have two Dawn Prayers to perform, but don't worry, I'll be there in a few days.
May the Holy Light protect us, may the Dawn be with you."
"Alright, alright, I know."
Han Shiyu's tone was full of doting affection. After hanging up, she glanced again in the direction Lu Luo had left, her voice low and complex.
"May the Holy Light protect us, but the Dawn is at hand!"
