Learn one small skill every day

Bai Miao first went home and bought some black cloth from a fabric shop near his home. He then used the black cloth to make himself a set of pure black hood and robe.

On the contrary, voices are the easiest to imitate.

Once everything was ready, Bai Miao hailed a tricycle and headed directly to the vicinity of that small road.

After finding a secluded corner and putting on his clothes and hood, Bai Miao ran from the outer wall all the way to the rooftop, where he observed the whereabouts of the tooth collector.

Around noon, the man who collected the teeth walked into the alley with a happy expression.

Bai Miao jumped down from the rooftop using the drawn grid. The man who collected the teeth heard a strange noise from above and looked up to see a figure in all black descending rapidly parallel to the ground.

"?!"

His first thought was that someone was jumping off the building, and his second thought was that jumping off a building shouldn't be taking so long.

While he was trying to figure out what was going on, Bai Miao had already pinned him to the floor from above.

"boom!"

Several teeth flew out of his mouth, and his nose was completely smashed. This was only because Bai Miao held back a little; otherwise, it would have been enough to shatter his skull.

Why are you taking children's teeth?

Bai Miao asked in an aged voice.

As she spoke, she began to press several acupoints on his body.

These acupoints can make him more alert, but they will also amplify his current pain.

"what!……"

Just as he was about to cry out, Bai Miao pressed his thumb against his throat, instantly choking him like a hen being strangled while crowing.

"Don't even think about shouting, just answer my question."

"You are... offending someone you can't afford to offend."

"But I can afford to offend you now."

Bai Miao used the "Dislocating Tendons and Bones Technique" to separate every joint connecting the teeth collector's legs.

"How about that? Bones can hurt terribly, but none of that compares to the bone pain you're causing your children."

The broker stared wide-eyed, unable to fathom how such a secret could have been exposed.

How could someone notice something when such a perfect demonstration had already been done?

"I haven't settled accounts with you for taking the abducted children to make medicine last year. If you want to die quickly, answer my questions honestly, or I will smash every bone in your body, carefully separate every muscle from your bones, and at the same time preserve your nerves so that you can feel the pain to the maximum extent."

As he spoke, Bai Miao curled up a finger and forcefully poked the man collecting teeth into his arm.

Bai Miao's understanding of the human body is now so profound that he can see right through it, and he can even tell where a person has a hidden ailment just by looking at them.

A piercing pain swept over him, and the dentist kept nodding, seemingly willing to answer Bai Miao's question.

Who is your employer?

The broker, panting heavily, said, "Didn't you already know...?"

"Okay, what's the purpose of removing teeth?"

"To manufacture...medicine".

"What methods did you use to prevent everyone from realizing that losing a tooth is a serious matter?"

The man collecting the teeth hesitated, but seeing Bai Miao raise his hand, he quickly nodded: "I'll talk, I'll talk... it's a mask... it can alter perception..."

"What is your status, and how do you know so much information?"

"One of the regional raw material procurement managers, because the mask issue cannot be known to too many people, so the collection of teeth is basically handled personally by the manager."

Who has the mask?

"The group's... president isn't here; he's at the group headquarters."

Bai Miao recalled the location of the Shengshoutang Group headquarters, which was still outside the province.

It's at least two or three thousand kilometers away from here.

"So, your group uses this mask to modify perceptions, and then uses these modified perceptions to formulate plans?"

"I'm not aware of the group's strategy... I'm just acting according to the procurement plan..."

After asking some more questions about the internal structure and security measures of the Shengshou Hall in Heshan County, Bai Miao considered the matter carefully, wiped the fingerprints off the man collecting teeth, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and led him to the rooftop.

"Go to hell."

Bai Miao easily released the tooth collector, who immediately fell from a height and died on the path.

That evening, Bai Miao watched the county news and the CCTV Evening News.

The evening news program continued with its usual content, but the county's segment devoted a significant amount of time to promoting dental care, mentioning that the county health bureau had set up free dental clinics to provide dental check-ups for children.

Incidentally, news of the broker's death was also reported, and it was only then that Bai Miao learned his name.

"Cheng Tiyuan, the purchasing manager of Shengshoutang in the county, fell to his death from a high-rise building. The police are currently ruling out the possibility of homicide."

These news reports can actually represent the official attitude to some extent.

Firstly, Bai Miao saw that the authorities were making amends for these mistakes in a very proactive manner. Secondly, the police also had serious doubts about Shengshoutang.

If they're already ruling out homicide, then the case will definitely be closed as a suicide and hastily concluded.

They weren't even willing to investigate the matter further.

Let's just consider it as the murderer eliminating a scourge for the people.

Even so, Bai Miao still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

With his current abilities, Bai Miao might be able to eliminate Shengshoutang in the county, but when faced with the entire Shengshoutang Group that spans the whole country, he couldn't help but feel that he was somewhat powerless to help.

But after calming down, Bai Miao couldn't help but doubt that Shengshoutang's abilities might not be as powerful as he had imagined.

If it were truly possible to completely change everyone's perception, would the directors of Shengshoutang still obediently sell medicine?

They've already ruled the world.

In other words, the ability to modify the mask is greatly limited.

Rather than a modification, it's more accurate to say that it bypassed conventional thinking and guided everyone's thoughts in the direction they desired.

It's more like a hint.

The method of conveying hints... could it be through the advertisements they placed?

The methods used here were beyond Bai Miao's comprehension.

It can only be described as a possibility, and Bai Miao cannot verify the specifics.

Based on the intelligence we have so far, as long as we can completely eradicate the Shengshoutang pharmacy in the county, there will be no more crises like this in the next few years.

At that very moment, Bai Miao saw the scene before him freeze once again.

Are we going to be in fourth grade soon...?

The scene shifts rapidly, and Bai Miao spends another short time in his third year.

In 06, a polio virus outbreak occurred in Heshan County, affecting over a thousand primary school students.

The virus was transmitted through unhygienic eating habits, and the county has allocated substantial funds to help elementary schools establish their own cafeterias.

[Bai An was not infected because she consumed packaged food over a long period. Those who were infected also received adequate treatment because the infection was detected early.]

[At present, it cannot be ruled out that this virus incident is unrelated to Shengshoutang.]

Bai An's fourth grade went by very peacefully.

[Fifth grade...begins.]

By fifth grade, Bai Miao had grown taller again, reaching about 1.6 meters, and was expected to reach 1.7 meters by graduation.

On the first day of school, Bai Miao, as usual, sorted through his memories from the past two years.

First, there's the narration for the dungeon. This time, compared to the last time, the narration singles out the Birth Hall.

Could this mean that Sheng Shou Tang's protective umbrella is being gradually torn apart by itself?

If we can eliminate the Shengshou Hall before graduation, the expansion of this instance will probably be quite significant.

Nothing happened during the fourth grade, and Bai Miao believed that he had killed a regional purchasing manager.

The staff turnover and wrap-up work took up a lot of time for Shengshoutang.

It's also possible that Shengshoutang's research and development of new drugs has stalled.

In any case, the fact that Shengshoutang chose to make a comeback in the fifth grade indicates that it must have had enough confidence.

"This year, we might as well just give it to Shengshoutang to be completely destroyed."

That's what he thought, but Bai Miao wanted to stay a little longer to level up his skills.

After this year, Bai Miao estimates that he will be able to max out one or two skills.

Let's see what they're up to this year.

The school's construction is also accelerating. It now has its own cafeteria and has built another new building with an indoor swimming pool and other multimedia facilities, which it euphemistically calls the "Experimental Building."

Many open courses are available there.

Bai Miao also viewed the school's development history from this perspective.

In addition, Bai Miao learned something interesting from his memories.

Since the end of the third grade, after Bai Miao used the collection card to quickly spread the teeth, all parties have also noticed this glass card at the same time.

Upon learning that a single ticket could be worth tens or even hundreds of dollars, some parents immediately called the police.

The police took it very seriously and followed the trail directly to the shop owner.

The shop owner naturally wouldn't admit he was cheating people, and kept explaining that these were collector's cards, a trend in the city.

When the police told him that there was no such thing in the city, he still insisted that it was a primary school student who said it.

The police were very responsible, taking him from classroom to classroom to search for the person.

In the end, they actually found it on Bai An.

Bai An said she couldn't understand what they were saying at all.
