CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 400: MEDICINE BATH

Chapter 400

After ending the communication, Ji You felt the changes in her body and found that apart from the initial burst of medicinal efficacy, which caused sudden intense pain, her body gradually stabilized.

The previous feeling of tearing, explosive pain also gradually disappeared.

Then—

She could distinctly feel that every cell in her body became more vital and lively, even the fatigue from a whole day was swept away, and Ji You even felt that she could now run down the stairs and complete 10 laps without stopping.

This!

The effect of this medicinal bath was so significant!

points per session, when calculated, was truly worth it.

Moreover, Ji You thought about the first medicinal bath she purchased on the Star Network, which also cost her a lot of credit points. That was the simplest and most basic medicinal bath.

The effect of that one, compared to the one specially prepared by Dr. Luo, was entirely beyond compare.

After the medicinal bath, Ji You was about to get up when she looked down and found a lot of impurities flowed out from her skin, the smell was simply indescribable. Pinching her nose, she hurriedly washed herself clean.

Following that.

Ji You took out the Body Refinement Realm technique given by Teacher Mu Jianling. The carrier for this Body Refinement Realm was not a book, and when Ji You opened it with her Light Computer, she found it was a holographic video. Within it, a fictional character would demonstrate the layers of Body Building Technique.

Very convenient, and there was no chance of misunderstanding.

Ji You started to imitate the virtual character’s demonstration.

This Body Building Technique was called Fierce Tiger Skill, comprising three layers.

After watching the entire sequence, Ji You understood that although this set of Body Building Technique was called such, it was more like a set of tactics. Its three layers represented a complete process of a fierce tiger hunting its prey.

The first layer: Lurking. It involved spotting prey, stealthily approaching, and laying in ambush. Every move in this layer had to be very gentle, to ensure complete silence, but no matter how soft the movements, all limbs and organs must be coordinated; otherwise, it would be impossible to perform the full set of movements.

The second layer: Chasing. If the prey notices something amiss and starts to flee, the fierce tiger certainly would not allow this. It immediately starts the chase. Thus, every movement in this layer is very forceful, whether punching, kicking, or pouncing... Each movement must be performed with full strength, or else the expected training effect cannot be achieved.

The third layer: Pounce and Kill. This layer is the most crucial, decisive one, emphasizing speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness! A move made must deal a fatal blow. Therefore, one must unleash a sudden burst from the whole body...

Ji You, following the guidance of the virtual character, completed the entire set of Body Building Techniques, exhausting her completely and draining all her physical strength.

She lay motionless, as limp as a dead pig on the carpet.

minute.

minutes.

minutes.

...

After lying prostrate for half an hour, she barely managed to get herself up.

According to this set of Body Building Techniques, since she was a beginner, she must progress step by step, so she only needed to perform the complete set of three layers for the first day, and then she could stop and rest well.

After that, she would practice once every day for a consecutive week.

Once the second week started, she would begin to increase the repetitions, performing the whole set twice each day.

...

The increase in Physical Strength isn’t something that can be achieved overnight; it is a long-term process. Ji You is not in a hurry and diligently follows the instructions and explanations to complete the tasks.

Then, Ji You looks at her still trembling hands and shaking legs, realizing that she won’t be able to do anything tonight. She can’t do her Material Department’s homework, nor can she compete in matches on the Star Network.

After thinking it over, Ji You decides to go to bed early.

Before going to sleep, Ji You pauses with her finger and reactivates her Light Computer, scrolling through a list of contacts. Eventually, her eyes stop at a name that has been absent for a long time.

——Ryan.

Outside the window, it’s pitch black, with only specks of light spilling through the transparent window. Ji You lies there with her eyes open, looking out the window. In the sky above Lanyue Star, there are very few stars. From Ji You’s bedside view into the sky, only a few dozen stars are visible, among which the brightest and largest one is called Nami Star.

Nami Star is also the Main Star of the Alliance.

This star is beautiful and dazzling in the starry sky. It seems close but is actually very far away from Lanyue Star. Even aboard the Alliance’s most advanced spaceship, it would take approximately 15 days to reach Nami Star.

Ji You has never been there, but through the Star Network, she is already familiar with Nami Star’s prosperity and splendor, a world completely different from Garbage Planet No. 101 and Lanyue Star.

There, lies the safest Protective Shield in the All Alliance, and the most powerful military force.

There, all the elites of the All Alliance gather...

There, are the most beautiful artificial gardens in the All Alliance...

There, is...

There also happens to be the place where Ryan was born and grew up.

Ji You stares intently at the brightest star for a while, occasionally unable to help thinking: Could it be that Ryan, having been missing for such a long time, has gone back to Nami Star?

The messages sent out, the phone calls made, all seem to have sunk into the ocean.

...

With a furrowed brow, Ji You wonders, why doesn’t Ryan reply to the messages? Is he in trouble, or is there some other reason?

In any case, given Ryan’s personality, he would definitely reply immediately to the messages sent by herself, Sister Lingzhi, Sister Liya, and others; he would never leave them unanswered for so long.

So Ji You can’t help but start to worry.

Her feelings for Ryan are purely of admiration and respect, without any romantic tinge. She simply and purely likes this gentle-mannered, handsome, and kind young man, who brought a ray of light into Ji You’s most difficult and helpless times. His gentle and appropriate help allowed Ji You to get through that tough period.

Ji You is very grateful and moved, cherishing all of Ryan’s kindness at the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, even though she knows her calls might not be answered, and the messages might not receive replies, Ji You still contacts Ryan regularly, every day, at the same time.

Today is no exception.

Ryan’s contact number still indicates he is out of the Star Network communication range.

The messages sent disappear without a trace.

Ji You turns off her Light Computer, heavy with disappointment, and prepares to sleep when suddenly her own contact number rings. Her eyes flash with surprise as she quickly checks—

It’s Xie Lingzhi.

Thinking it was Ryan, Ji You is somewhat disappointed, but still cheerfully answers the call. Soon, Xie Lingzhi’s face appears on the Light Computer screen; she is wearing a black uniform, rubbing her forehead, seemingly just coming out of the lab, not yet having had the chance to change before calling Ji You immediately.

Ji You quickly asks, "Sister Lingzhi, how come you’ve decided to call me?"

Xie Lingzhi snorts lightly, "What, am I not allowed to make a call?"
