A Valiant Life

“Master Lin, I’m really so grateful for you.” Niu Da Ming grabbed Lin Fan’s hand. He was filled with gratitude. He hadn’t expected Master Lin to really come.

Lin Fan looked at this middle-aged man in front of him and was a little dazed. This Mayor Niu gave off the feeling of a simple farmer. He didn’t seem like a modern person who would follow celebrities. Then, Lin Fan said softly, “Mayor Niu, are you really my fan?”

Niu Da Ming was a little embarrassed but he nodded. “Yes, yes. I, Niu Da Ming, am your fan.”

“Mayor Niu, I can tell from your eyes that you’re lying,” Lin Fan said with a smile. But regardless, it didn’t matter. Actually, he wouldn’t have sat idly by if he had known the severity of this situation.

Niu Da Ming had not expected Master Lin to see through him. He shamefully scratched his head as he said, “Master Lin, I’m really sorry. I’m actually a fake fan. I’ve seen Weibo and I know that you are an amazing person. As Huang Yun Town’s Mayor, I pretend to be a fan of amazing people sometimes so that if a problem arises, I’d be able to request help.”

“That day, I called you because I had no other choice. I couldn’t watch my people continue getting tortured by the illness…”

“Alright, alright. That’s enough, Mayor Niu. You can become my fan from now on then. Next time, if I argue with someone on Weibo, you have to remember what happened here today and help me to scold the opposition,” said Lin Fan with a laugh.

After all, there were sure to be many flame wars in the future. If he had more fans, he would have a greater chance of winning these flame wars.

“Of course. Of course. From now on, you’re my savior,” said Niu Da Ming.

The influenza had finally been conquered now. The townspeople’s health was not an issue anymore.

Li Chong had been watching from the side the whole time. At this moment, he grabbed Lin Fan’s hand and said, “Master Lin, I thank you on behalf of all the county’s citizens. If it wasn’t for you, who knows when the influenza would’ve been conquered? And I don’t know if those townspeople would have been able to make it through.”

“You’re too courteous.” Lin Fan smiled. He had already received many words of thanks. He had had a pretty good rest the previous night as well, so he was very energetic.

“Oh, right. I think this matter has had a large impact on the Internet. I’m going to send a Weibo post now to explain things to the public,” said Lin Fan.

Actually, he felt as if his own Weibo post was more convincing than a Weibo post sent by government units.

When he brought that up, Li Chong thought about something as well.

“After this incident, I have to go to the city’s pharmacies to punish them. They actually raised the prices of medicine and some of them obviously raised it on purpose.”

After the incident when purchasing medicine the previous day, Zhao Ming Qing felt that this problem was rather severe as well. Normal citizens wouldn’t know the full situation but after the scare on the Internet, they were sure to make decisions for their own safety.

This allowed the distributors to take advantage of the situation by inflating the price of the medicine and earning a huge profit.

This indeed needed to be rectified. And it had to be done harshly. That was the only way to let those people know the severity of the situation.

Lin Fan opened his Weibo without hesitation. After putting together his thoughts, he started to type on the screen.

“The Huang Yun Town influenza has been conquered by me, so I’m naming it ‘One-hour influenza’. It has already been resolved completely, so the public doesn’t have to worry anymore. After today, the problem here in Huang Yun Town is over. As for those medications promoted by pharmacies, they are completely useless. Don’t buy them.”

It was very simple. And he had named the influenza. No matter what, he was the one who conquered the influenza, so he had the right to name it.

When this post was uploaded, the comments section instantly blew up.

“????”

“I f*cking spent hundreds of dollars on the medications. You’re telling me now that you’ve conquered it?”

“F*ck. Thankfully, I took a look at Weibo before buying the medicine. I would’ve wasted my money otherwise. Do you know how expensive it is?”

“Well done, Master Lin. These evil businessmen are destined for disaster once they meet Master Lin.”

“That scared the heck out of me. But Master Lin is amazing. As long as you intervene, there is nothing that cannot be resolved.”

In a certain city.

There was a huge crowd queuing at the entrance of a pharmacy. These people were all here to purchase medicine. The danger of the influenza had made them all frightened, so they were here to buy medicine for the safety of themselves and their family members regardless of the costs.

“Those in front, please buy less. Leave some for us.”

“Yeah! There’s no point buying so much. I need some for my family too.”

“Sigh, how can this influenza pop up all of a sudden. Is it trying to kill us?”

When the pharmacy owner saw this situation, he felt amazing. I’m going to be rich. I’m really going to be f*cking rich.

If he sells all those medications, his wallet would be bursting.

Thinking about those bosses in the chat group who had hyped things up to inflate the prices, he was really in admiration. He had really benefited thanks to them this time. Then, he happily opened his Weibo and sent a red packet.

“It’s not much but I hope everyone will be happy.”

Once the red packet was sent, it got snatched up in an instant.

“Haha, looks like Elder He is happily earning money.”

“How can he not be happy? He managed to catch this great opportunity. But don’t sell all the medicine. Leave some for later. When that time comes, we will really earn lots of money. This is just a little teaser.”

“Thanks for the advice, Boss. Don’t worry. I’ve basically kept all of my medicine for later on.”

Just as he was chatting cheerily in the group, a voice broke through his excitement.

In the crowd, a young man looked at his phone and suddenly yelled.

“F*ck! What are we still buying this for? Master Lin has already conquered the influenza and he even said that the medications being promoted are completely useless against it.”

“What? The influenza has been conquered?”

“D*mn, that’s amazing. Master Lin’s medical abilities are too strong. He conquered the influenza just like that.”

“Haha, I’m going home to go on the Internet. This gave me a scare but if it has been conquered, I don’t need any medicine anymore.”

“This pharmacy is really evil. I’ll never buy medicine from here again.”

“Me too. They took this opportunity to take our hard-earned money.”

Soon, the crowd dispersed all of a sudden. And as they left, they kept cursing this pharmacy. They really looked down on such behavior.

When the pharmacy owner saw this, he didn’t know what to say.

And when he picked up his phone as he wanted to tell the people in the group about it, he realized that the group was filled with mournful cries and everyone was talking about this.

“F*ck! This f*cking Master Lin doesn’t want to let us live.”

“I hoarded so much stock, how am I going to sell it?”
