While Gong CaiCai was eating her ice cream sneakily like a timid little animal, Xiao Qin took the bag of hand cream from my hand so I could eat my ice cream with my free hand.
I accepted Xiao Qin's good intentions. After all, the diary in the other bag was not lighter than the hand cream. Also, I have a bad habit of swinging my arms when carrying things. If I accidentally broke the hand cream, I would be letting the class leader down.
After we finished off the ice cream, the three of us agreed to meet Professor Bai together. We walked out of the Henderson Mall and headed to the Science of Happiness class' classroom.
On the way, Xiao Qin said to Gong CaiCai as if she was trying to gain her trust:
"The law of attraction is really amazing! I only half-believed it at first, but I only tried it once according to the rules. I kept telling myself in my head: 'The law of attraction is effective', 'The law of attraction is effective' — — now I think the law of attraction is effective!! "
Hey! Doesn't that mean nothing was solved! A question like "prove the Pythagorean theorem is effective according to the Pythagorean theorem" will definitely be given a zero by the teacher!
Gong CaiCai nodded repeatedly and said with relief: "Xiao Qin classmate, Professor Bai told me: Believing in the law of attraction is the first step to the truth of the universe! Let's work hard together and pray that our wishes will come true! "
I remember Gong CaiCai's previous two wishes were to become a scallop and a panda. The reason was that scallops were protected by their shells and pandas were protected by the country. However, she later gave up because becoming a scallop would cause claustrophobia and the pressure of being surrounded by people was too great.
Speaking of which, recently, Professor Bai had changed his teaching location.
The Science of Happiness class was originally held in a simple classroom in the business district. The desks inside were very old and some of the stools were even broken.
Now it was different. It was probably because Assistant Teacher Chen couldn't stand Grandma Su's torture and surrendered to the police, which alerted Professor Bai. In short, the location of the Science of Happiness class was changed to a multimedia conference room in an office building. The windows were bright and clean, the tables and chairs were in good condition. The layout was very similar to a university lecture hall (except there were no stairs). There were six chairs behind each long table and the entire conference room had 12 long tables, which could accommodate 72 people at the same time.
It was close to 6: 30 after we bought the teacher's day gifts. Since it was meal time for ordinary people, Professor Bai did not arrange any classes at this time — — he directly received us in the empty conference room.
"Professor Bai! Please accept this globe! I can't come over tomorrow, so I wish you a happy teacher's day! "
As soon as they met, Gong CaiCai hurriedly held up the globe with both hands and handed it to Professor Bai. It was not like she was giving a gift, but more like a student who had made a mistake handing in a review report.
Professor Bai was quite surprised. On one hand, he didn't expect that a cult lecturer like him would receive a Teacher's Day gift. On the other hand, he didn't expect that I would bring Gong CaiCai along.
"Alright, it would be impolite to refuse. I'll accept your kindness."
Professor Bai took the globe with the demeanor of an educator and placed it on the podium table. The originally broken globe seemed to have been thrown away. On the podium table, which was much wider than before, there was a fish tank. There was only a thin layer of shallow water in it, and a palm-sized tortoise was lying lazily in the water, motionless.
I remember this was Professor Bai's pet, named "Da Vinci", which was the early Chinese translation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles boss, Leonardo.
"What a cute turtle!"
Xiao Qin, who had always had a strange sense of aesthetics, almost pressed her face against the glass of the fish tank and faced the turtle inside.
"What kind of turtle is this? Is it a smiling turtle? It looks like it's laughing! " Xiao Qin placed the bag of hand cream on a chair and asked Professor Bai excitedly.
Xiao Qin did not trigger her androphobia at all when interacting with an elder like Professor Bai who was about the same age as her uncle.
"Are you Ren XiaoQin classmate? It's our first time meeting, but I've heard a lot about you from Ye Lin. If it's convenient, I'll call you Xiao Qin from now on. "
Professor Bai enthusiastically extended his right hand towards Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin used her eyes to ask for my opinion. When she saw me nod, she shook hands with Professor Bai.
"Ye Lin classmate and I … Ye Lin classmate and I are here to join the society!" Xiao Qin immediately said excitedly as soon as her hand separated from Professor Bai's, "The Scientific Happiness Symposium uses scientific methods to obtain happiness. This is what humans have been pursuing in the course of evolution! Your theories are perfect! Too advanced! Surpassing humans by 500 years! Please let us join the society! "
"No problem, no problem. You can come and go freely at the Scientific Happiness Symposium. As long as you agree with our ideas, you can automatically become a member."
A drop of sweat dripped down Professor Bai's face. It seemed that Xiao Qin's flattery to his face was a bit too much.
What he didn't expect was that Xiao Qin had only just started and hadn't gotten into the zone yet.
"Professor Bai, you might have heard from Ye Lin classmate that my mother was a former world champion in women's MMA, so I also know a bit of martial arts … If the Scientific Happiness Symposium needs me, I'll immediately rush into the Dongcheng District's Heavenly King Temple and beat up the Daoist priests! Or rush into the Xicheng District's Jianren Temple and beat up the monks! "
"Why!?" Professor Bai was also taken aback, "Why would I order you to beat up the Daoist priests and monks?"
The elderly of Dong Shan city often say, "There are temples in the east and temples in the west", which refers to the Heavenly King Temple and Jianren Temple. The name Jianren Temple is often misspelled as "Slut Temple", but it is said that when it was established, it was based on the phrase "the wise see the wise and the benevolent see the benevolent". There is also a Buddhist temple with the same name in Kyoto, Japan.
When Professor Bai asked why she had a problem with these two religious buildings, Xiao Qin clenched her fists as if she was ready to shed blood for the organization at any time.
"Do you even need to ask! People of the same trade are enemies! Of course it's for competition! If we don't eradicate the Taoist and Buddhist forces in Dong Shan city first, how can we monopolize the market and make a fortune! "
Gong CaiCai shuddered and silently stood a little further away from Xiao Qin. She probably thought that even if they became parishioners, Xiao Qin was still a super violent parishioner, and her wish to make a fortune was too vulgar.
"That … Xiao Qin, do you have a misunderstanding?" Professor Bai broke out in a cold sweat, "Our Scientific Happiness Seminar is a scientific organization, not a religion. Some people call us the 'Scientific Happiness Church' because they are biased. We are neither in the same trade nor are we enemies with other religions. Making a fortune is even more ridiculous — — the fee we charge some members is only the electricity used to calculate the cause and effect."
"Can't you charge a little more?" Xiao Qin asked, "If I trick two old ladies to join, will you give me a commission?"
Hey! You're too immersed in your acting! You're no longer a cult believer, but a criminal who wants to use a cult to cheat money! Don't tell me you want to take Assistant Professor Chen's place and become the accomplice of the Church of Scientific Happiness!
"Can I talk to Ye Lin alone?" Professor Bai was embarrassed by Xiao Qin. He pointed to the desk in the back row and said, "There is a laptop in that desk. There are slides introducing our Scientific Happiness Symposium. Gong CaiCai, can you explain it to Xiao Qin so that she can dispel her misunderstanding of us?"
Although Gong CaiCai was afraid of Xiao Qin, she had a spirit of dedication for the Scientific Happiness Church. Thus, she went to explain the slides to Xiao Qin with the consciousness of a martyr.
Professor Bai moved a chair and sat in the first row facing me. He was quite far away from Xiao Qin and the others, so we couldn't hear each other's conversation without shouting.
"Can I see your phone?" Professor Bai was the first to make this request.
I was confident that professor Bai couldn't do anything in front of me, so I handed him the phone. He only weighed it with his hand and judged:
"It's 40 grams heavier than the original, it should have been modified. Gong CaiCai's tuition teacher, Xiao Hu, uses the same phone as you, I weighed it. "
I didn't expect professor Bai to be so accurate. I didn't even feel a significant change in the weight of my phone, are you a human spring scale?
"Your phone is clearly an old model, and it's turned on, but our monitoring system can't receive any feedback signals. According to simple cause and effect logic … your phone's internal hardware has either been replaced, or it's been modified into a dual hardware system — — the person who modified it is is Dr. Yu, right?"
I generously shrugged and admitted it. Professor Bai returned the phone to me and pushed his round-rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose.
"You kept our backdoor hardware to send us false information, right? It's a good move, but unfortunately you didn't execute it well. You used too much 'safe mode' and too little 'backdoor mode'. It's impossible not to make us suspicious. "
"Hmph, if that's the case, I'll get Dr. Yu to dismantle your backdoor hardware! It's useless now anyway, and it consumes a lot of electricity! "
Professor Bai rested his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and lowered his voice:
"Your phone was modified to be so special, why can't we use it instead? I hope we can develop new uses for the backdoor mode. "
After that, Professor Bai honestly told me what they could do with the backdoor chip.
Monitoring phone calls and text messages was the simplest function. It didn't seem difficult to record all text input on the phone and then transmit it to the monitoring center when using wifi.
When necessary, the phone could be remotely controlled to make a phone call. For example, if I was surrounded by four people who looked like fitness trainers with steel pipes, the phone would dial 110.
If you weren't worried about being seen through by the other party, you could also remotely activate the power-consuming "listening device" function, which was not used on me because of concerns in the past.
"Ye Lin, Dr. Yu modified your phone with the intention of letting you use the backdoor mode as a channel to transmit false information. But now that you're allied with us, there's no need to switch back to the backdoor mode from time to time and let us monitor some useless junk calls. Instead, you can openly use the safe mode. Only in special situations where you need us to actively monitor you, or when you need us for help, you can turn on the backdoor mode."
