Chapter 731: 3D Scan

Chapter 731: Chapter 731: 3D Scan

Li Xu smiled modestly. "Dean Ai, Director Liang, I really shouldn’t decline an invitation from my alma mater. But to be honest, I’m completely tied up at the moment. I can’t even finish seeing all the patients lining up at my personal clinic every day. Furthermore, the oncology department at the City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has just begun its integration, and I still have to hold consultations there. I really can’t get away."

Li Xu picked up his teacup and offered a toast to the two leaders. "How about this: once I get past this busy period, I will definitely return to the university and give everyone a proper grand lecture." ℯ

Hearing Li Xu say this, Director Liang expressed his understanding, despite his regret. After all, for a top-tier expert like Li Xu—who held multiple positions and repeatedly performed miracles on the clinical frontlines—time was more precious than gold.

At the cafeteria of the City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Li Lin held his food tray, surrounded by a group of fellow interns who hadn’t been able to attend the lecture.

"Li Lin, hurry up and tell us! What did Senior Li Xu talk about today?"

"I heard in the group chat about ’diagnosing illnesses by listening to sounds’ and ’curing pain by stomping feet.’ Is it true?"

Li Lin shoved a mouthful of rice into his mouth and, beaming with excitement, vividly described everything that had happened at the university that morning from beginning to end. In particular, when he mentioned Li Xu using a potted plant to explain the rise and fall of yin and yang, combining raw scallions with honey to explain the principles of relieving constipation, and the embarrassing moment when the last male student openly passed gas in public, it drew continuous gasps from the crowd. They found it both hilarious and astonishing.

"Holy crap, that’s amazing! This is true traditional Chinese medicine thinking. Everything in the world can be used as medicine, and everything contains medical principles."

"Oh my god, why did I have to be stuck in the ward writing medical records? I feel like I missed out on a million bucks."

"Sigh. Compared to Senior Li Xu, we haven’t even graduated yet, while he’s already being dragged back by our alma mater to lecture master’s and even doctoral students. This gap, this talent... He can easily be considered the number one person since the founding of our school."

Thousands of miles away in the north, at the National Ski Jumping Training Base.

Surrounded by a vast, white expanse of snow, several massive ski jumps pierced the clouds. The countdown had entered its final sprint phase for the World Ski Jumping Championships, set to be held in Europe next week. Inside the training base’s logistics support center, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

"Peng Yunfei, it’s your turn," a staff member called out.

Having just finished his high-intensity morning adaptation training, Peng Yunfei wore a skin-tight sports undergarment as he stepped into a highly advanced, fully enclosed 3D human laser scanning cabin. In this extreme sport, often hailed as a "game for the brave," an athlete’s mid-air flying posture and the aerodynamic performance of their ski suit were crucial factors in determining victory or defeat. To prevent athletes from tampering with their ski suits, the International Ski Federation had extremely stringent requirements: all competitors’ suits had to undergo an incredibly precise full-body 3D scan before the competition. Based on the scan data, the suits would then receive a millimeter-level custom fit. The gap between the ski suit and the surface of the body had strict margin of error limits.

Beams of red laser light swept up and down Peng Yunfei’s body, accurately translating every contour and the rise and fall of every muscle into a 3D data model on the computer. A few minutes later, the scan ended.

Peng Yunfei stepped out of the cabin. While wiping away his sweat, he pretended to casually glance at the computer screen. He wondered nervously, his heart beating like a drum, whether the effects of the Divine Medicine would show up under the precision instruments.

The young technician in charge of data entry and comparison stared at the newly generated 3D model on the screen. He then pulled up Peng Yunfei’s historical scan data from three months ago for an overlapping comparison. Suddenly, the technician’s hand paused. His eyes widened as he leaned closer to the screen to examine it carefully.

"This... this data isn’t right." The technician pointed at a data deviation in a specific area on the screen. "How... how is this possible?" He had discovered that compared to three months ago, the data for Peng Yunfei’s crotch area showed an extremely obvious—even inexplicably illogical—bulge. According to this new volume data, if the ski suit were to be recut, the fabric for this critical area would need to be at least two or three sizes larger than before. This meant that while gliding through the air, this large extra piece of fabric would act like a small parachute attached to Peng Yunfei’s crotch. Under the impact of high-speed air currents, it would provide a highly substantial amount of extra lift.

"Peng Yunfei." The technician’s face looked grim. "Did you illegally inject something? Hyaluronic acid or silicone?"

"No, absolutely not." Peng Yunfei feigned composure, spreading his hands with an innocent expression. "Lately, all I’ve been doing is training, eating, and sleeping. I’ve barely even stepped out of the base’s main gates. How could I possibly get my hands on any prohibited substances?"

"Then what’s going on with this data?" The technician pointed at the screen. "How could an adult male’s organ undergo such a massive physical change in just three months? You suddenly grew an entire size larger. Are you treating this multi-million-dollar imported scanner as if it’s blind, or are you treating me like an idiot?"

This matter was too serious. Not daring to hide it, the technician immediately reported the abnormal data to the head coach and the captain of the national ski jumping team. Upon receiving the report, the captain’s face also turned grim. It was well-known that because foreign athletes had previously been caught using "physical cheating" methods, the World Anti-Doping Agency was currently keeping a very close watch. If a violation was truly discovered, not only would Peng Yunfei’s personal career be ruined, but the entire national team would also be disgraced.

The captain immediately called Peng Yunfei into his office. Closing the door, he shot him a stern look. "Peng, tell me the truth. What exactly is going on? If you admit it now, we can still figure out a way to handle it internally. But if it’s found out by WADA once we go abroad, not even an Immortal will be able to save you."

Looking at the captain’s murderous expression, Peng Yunfei knew he couldn’t keep it hidden anymore. However, he was confident and didn’t panic.

"Captain, I swear, I absolutely did not inject any prohibited substances, nor did I undergo any surgery." Peng Yunfei raised his right hand and spoke candidly. "I just... took a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Traditional Chinese medicine?" The captain froze.

Peng Yunfei no longer concealed anything. He gave a complete, unembellished account of his experience seeking treatment at Li’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Feng City, taking the Promoting Birth Formula for conditioning, and ultimately achieving a "second puberty."

"Captain, Doctor Li said that the prescription is completely made of pure, natural herbs. Cistanche, cynomorium, Goji Berries... they’re all things that tonify the kidneys and strengthen yang. This might seem inconceivable from a Western medicine perspective, but in traditional Chinese medicine, it’s merely activating the innate kidney qi and allowing qi and blood to once again engorge the vital sinews. This is completely natural physical growth. How could it be considered cheating?"

After hearing this, the captain couldn’t recover his senses for a long time. Taking traditional Chinese medicine could make *that* thing grow? It sounded even more sci-fi than injecting hyaluronic acid. But seeing Peng Yunfei’s certain demeanor, coupled with the fact that he actually did know of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor named Li Xu who had recently gained massive fame online for curing numerous difficult diseases...
