44: Chapter 44 Get out of the way!

Don’t block me from saving someone!

44: Chapter 44 Get out of the way!

Don’t block me from saving someone!

Tang Xin snapped back to reality and immediately walked quickly over.

“Quick!

Don’t just stand there, hurry and get her on the bed in the room, laid out flat!”

Wu Jie immediately picked Lin Wan up around the waist and carried her to the room.

Tang Xin pulled Wu Jie away, bent down, and reached out to check Lin Wan’s breath and press on her acupoints.

Fallen into unconsciousness with no awareness, Lin Wan’s delicate and exquisite beauty was shockingly pale, invoking pity.

Wu Jie stepped aside and watched Tang Xin try to save her with her primitive methods.

“Lin is really something, to maintain her perfect figure, she eats very little for three meals a day, especially dinner, just an apple or a tomato.

How can she do this during her menstrual period?

Without sufficient nutrition, her body is weak and more prone to unbearable pain!”

Tang Xin complained while trying everything she could to revive Lin Wan, but she still couldn’t make her regain consciousness.

Seeing this, Wu Jie immediately inquired with the system.

“Lin Wan doesn’t have any serious issues, right?”

System: “When the host hugged her, a quick check was already done.

She is just extremely weak, nothing major.”

“Then, is there a way to cure her dysmenorrhea?”

System: “Dysmenorrhea comes in two types, caused by illness or abnormal hormone secretion.

Lin Wan’s is the latter, due to excessive contraction of smooth muscles causing vascular spasms, which lead to ischemic uterine cramping and colicky pain.

It can be alleviated and cured through methods such as keeping warm, applying heat, acupuncture to promote blood flow, medication adjustments, and so on.”

“Medication?

What kind?

Is it sold in the shop?”

System: “Of course, the ‘activate energy pill,’ one pill takes care of it!”

Wu Jie immediately browsed the virtual shop, but soon became enraged.

“Damn it!

Sixteen thousand energy points, are you robbing me?!”

System: “You get what you pay for!

To cure dysmenorrhea for good, it’s that expensive!”

Wu Jie hesitated.

He had to complete a system mission within a month, and he was still far from the one million energy points target.

Today, to deal with Wang Kun and his muscle-brained goons, he had already spent fifty thousand, and now if he were to spend another ten thousand plus…

Most importantly, what benefit would he get from curing Lin Wan’s persistent dysmenorrhea?

They were only landlord and tenant.

Did he really think a single pill could move a beauty enough to offer herself in gratitude?

Must have watched too many silly TV shows!

Furthermore, Tang Xin said that Lin Wan seemed to be more interested in women.

If he saved her, wouldn’t that just add another female rival in his pursuit of Tang Xin?

No way!

He couldn’t let her off that cheaply.

He wasn’t a saint, to have such an overflowing benevolent heart.

After all, they had only met three times.

However…

Watching Tang Xin struggle without success in waking Lin Wan up.

And Lin Wan, a role model, beautiful and kind-hearted, he couldn’t bear to see her in pain either.

“What about acupuncture?”

System: “We do have skills-related options.

You can exchange for a temporary use, or purchase it as a lifetime skill.”

Wu Jie immediately checked and instantly felt unable to even mock.

Primary Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncturist skill, lifetime purchase, two hundred thousand energy points.

It’s really not commonly expensive!

But then, it seemed reasonable, considering studying medicine usually takes several years, with much medical knowledge to master and many experiments and internships to undertake before becoming a qualified doctor, and the same goes for an acupuncturist.

Time cost, tuition fees, labor costs…

Two hundred thousand energy points, it’s a fair price after all.

However, Wu Jie still had to complete the task within a set time, and every energy point was too precious.

So, he made up his mind and chose a temporary skill worth one thousand energy points, lasting for fifteen minutes.

Ding!

[System: Congratulations to the host, for the first-time exchange of a medical skill, you have been rewarded with five hundred energy points, and a set of Medical Silver Needles.]

Huh?

There’s a reward too?

Then why didn’t he get a sports-related reward when he obtained the professional-level fighter’s skill before?

Is it easier to get a reward for saving lives and helping the wounded?

Wu Jie couldn’t bother about that now, pretending to return to his room, and came back holding a pack of silver needles.

“Fine, stop messing around and watch me!”

“I…” Tang Xin turned her head to look and was immediately stunned, “You…

what are you doing?

Where did you get that silver needle and medical alcohol?

Are you a doctor?

You better not mess around…”

“Why so many questions?

Move out of the way quickly!”

Wu Jie was quite forceful.

Skills have a time limit!

Half-believing, half-doubting, Tang Xin stood up and stepped aside, only to see Wu Jie swiftly lift Lin Wan’s nightgown.

Ah!!

Tang Xin screamed.

“How could you do that?

You big pervert!”

Tang Xin grabbed the blanket and covered Lin Wan’s abdomen.

Wu Jie looked surprised and said, “Girl, you were so unrestrained with me last night, so why have you become so conservative now?

It’s just the abdomen.

With belly shirts and bikinis everywhere, it’s not like no one has ever seen a woman’s abdomen before!

Hurry up and uncover her, let me treat her!”

Tang Xin pouted and said, “I…

I was just thinking about not having Lin’s consent!

Actually, I don’t mind, you can look at my abdomen anytime, but her…”

“Why so much nonsense?” Wu Jie said irritably.

“Oh man, such machismo!

Fine, fine, I’ll uncover her for you!”

Tang Xin lifted the blanket and stepped back with a pout.

“You’re just a regular working guy, and you understand acupuncture?

Don’t pretend to know if you don’t, it could harm people greatly!”

Wu Jie ignored her.

Now, with the skill in hand, every second was precious.

He took out a thin, long Medical Silver Needle, disinfected it, and then gently pierced Lin Wan’s delicate skin as smooth as jade, slowly rotating it until the needle gradually sank in, burying a good half.

Tang Xin watched with her scalp tingling, biting her lips tightly, and her fists clenched.

She nervously glanced at Wu Jie and then at Lin Wan’s expression.

“Hey, are you actually capable or not?

If you can’t do it, don’t show off.

This isn’t your time to play the hero!”

However…

Wu Jie didn’t answer.

After the first needle, Lin Wan showed no reaction.

The second needle…

Lin Wan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if in pain!

“I think we should still call an ambulance!”

Just as Tang Xin was about to make the call, Wu Jie inserted the third needle, and Lin Wan’s mouth slightly opened, letting out a long breath, seemingly feeling much more relaxed.

By the time the fourth needle was inserted, Lin Wan’s pale face gradually showed a hint of color.

And Tang Xin noticed that she seemed to stop sweating coldly.

…

After the final needle, Lin Wan already had a smile on her face, as if she had had a sweet dream.

Gently covering Lin Wan with the blanket, Wu Jie made a silencing gesture at Tang Xin, and the two tiptoed out of the room.

As soon as the door closed, Tang Xin punched Wu Jie hard.

“Impressive, my brother!”

“I had no idea you could do acupuncture!”

“If I have menstrual cramps one day, can you give me a few needles too?”

Wu Jie chuckled and looked Tang Xin up and down.

Round, plump lips, watery big eyes, a face of innocence yet adorably silly, truly a pleasing sight.

“Forget the silver needles, wouldn’t it be better to just have a child?”

“What?” Tang Xin exclaimed.

“Wasn’t that what you said?

Have a child, and you won’t have menstrual pains!”

“Get lost!

I don’t want to have your kid!”

Tang Xin punched Wu Jie again and huffed away…
