Chapter 59: Even a Mosquito Leg Is Meat!
Xiao Yin looked at Jiang Zhu, who was slumped on the ground. He had just finished teaching her a lesson and was about to say something comforting or something like that.
Ding!
An extremely weak electric current prompt sound sounded without any momentum deep in his mind.
Compared to the cold and clear mechanical sound before, this voice seemed particularly... shabby.
Xiao Yin: "…"
This broken system, after overdrawing, even the prompt tone becomes fake?
[A faint fluctuation of willpower has been detected... Source: Current plane, Dou 1, Crimson Pearl.]
[Core of her wish: Her whole body aches and feels weak, her Spirit power is overdrawn, and she really wants a massage that can instantly restore her...]
[Mission Objective: Fatigue Recovery Massage (requires the host to perform the massage personally, lasting for at least ten minutes, and achieving the 'physical and mental relaxation' standard.]
[Task Reward: Wish Points +1.]
[Failure penalty: None.]
(System Note: Energy is insufficient, unable to execute the punishment program, but please actively complete the task, even if the value is small, it is still meat! T_T)
He looked at the shabby task panel, especially the note "Wish value +1" and the system's built-in emoticons, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He understood instantly.
The system had warned before that because of the huge "loan" of nearly 100,000 wish values that had been overdrawn, the system itself was extremely short of energy and could no longer capture the strong wishes of other worlds and generate "matching tasks" as it did before.
Now, it had entered the "forced mission mode" and could only capture the current plane, that is, the world of Dou 1, no matter how small the wish was.
Mosquito legs are meat too!
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to get the matching tasks with rich rewards like before in the short term.
He guessed the current system would like to generate a task for every wish like "I hope to have an extra chicken leg for dinner tonight."
"It's like a tiger in trouble being bullied by a dog... No, it's the system in trouble being bullied by the task."
He complained helplessly in his heart.
Looking at the tearful and disheveled Jiang Zhu in front of him, and then looking at the wish value +1, he sighed.
Well, it's always good to have many skills, but even if you have a lot of debts... you have to pay them back slowly.
The nascent gentleness on his face quickly transformed into an expression of... well, eldership.
"Don't cry," his voice slowed down. "After strenuous exercise, your muscles become tense and your Spirit power is overdrawn. If you don't relax in time, it will affect your subsequent cultivation foundation."
Jiang Zhu paused her sobs for a moment, and she looked up at him confusedly, her eyes red like a little rabbit: "Ah? Then...what should I do?"
He remained calm and began to talk seriously:
"Special massage techniques are needed to dredge the Qi and blood, activate the tendons and bones, and at the same time inject gentle Spirit power to help you recover quickly.
You are lucky, my unique technique is not available to ordinary people."
As he said this, he sat down next to Jiang Zhu very naturally.
"Massage...?"
Jiang Zhu's face suddenly turned red, even the tips of her ears were red enough to drip blood. She subconsciously hugged herself tightly, her voice as thin as a mosquito:
"Senior...this...this is not good, right? I...I just need to rest for a while..."
In reality, Jiang Zhu's inner thoughts were: Ahhhh! Massage?! And by Senior himself?! This, this, this... This is too embarrassing! No, no, no!
"It is unacceptable to hide one's illness and avoid seeing a doctor."
His expression was serious, as if he was explaining a truth. "For a Spirit master to cultivate, the body is the capital. How can you achieve great things if you are so timid? Turn around and face me."
His tone carried a natural sense of command, which made Jiang Zhu obey subconsciously.
Jiang Zhu turned around dizzy and sat with her back to him. Her heart was pounding fast and she felt even more nervous than when she was being chased by the Inferno Grey Wolf just now.
Damn it! I really need a massage! Senior's hands...are they hot? What should I say? Oh my god!
He didn't care about the little drama in her heart. The system task required him to operate it personally for ten minutes.
A trace of extremely gentle life force and Spirit power from the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone gathered in his palm and he gently pressed it on Jiang Zhu's back.
"Um..."
Jiang Zhu's whole body trembled violently, and a trembling moan escaped from her lips uncontrollably.
Those palms seemed to have magical powers, and the gentle power penetrated through the thin clothes, instantly dispelling the fatigue in her whole body.
So... so comfortable!
The original shyness began to quickly disintegrate under the impact of this extremely comfortable feeling.
His technique seemed casual, but in fact it precisely stimulated her tired muscles.
Jiang Zhu's tense body gradually relaxed. At first, her back was stiffly straight, but later she softened slightly unconsciously.
Her head also drooped a little bit, like a kitten that felt comfortable after having its fur stroked.
Ten minutes seemed to pass in a flash to Jiang Zhu.
[Ding! Mission 'Fatigue Recovery Massage' completed. Wish value +1. Current Wish value: -96845.]
The system reported the bill weakly.
He looked at the pitiful "-96845" on his account and felt that he still had a long way to go.
"How do you feel?" He stood up and clapped his hands.
Jiang Zhu suddenly came to her senses. It was over so quickly?!
She stood up hurriedly, stretched her arms and legs, her face full of surprise: "Much better! Senior, you are amazing!"
At this moment, the look she gave him was filled with admiration and gratitude.
He looked at her sparkling eyes and thought: This +1 wish value is not too bad, at least the after-sales service seems to be good.
"Basic operations."
He thought for a moment and continued, "After training, I'll give you a couple of presses depending on your situation. Now, can you walk back by yourself?"
This kind of training... Ugh! It seems like the feeling of leading students is not bad!
"Yes! I can!"
Jiang Zhu nodded immediately, her voice becoming much louder and full of energy.
"Let's go." He turned around and walked slowly out of the forest.
Jiang Zhu hurried to catch up, secretly looking up from time to time to glance at his tall back.
The seniors...are really great!
Although the training method is a bit scary, it's all for my own good, and... the massage skills are really amazing...
She was lost in thought, and her cheeks felt hot again.
He deliberately slowed down his pace and did not use any Spirit power to hurry on his way. Instead, he chose to walk back to Heaven Dou City.
Firstly, it was to hone Jiang Zhu's perseverance and physical strength;
Secondly, although the majestic original power of the Water and Fire Dragon King in his body had been absorbed, there was still a small portion of pure energy deposited in his body, which needed to be slowly digested and integrated.
Walking in the mountains and forests and feeling the breath of nature actually helped him to look inward and refine these powers.
The two walked along the forest path, one in front and one behind. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than when they came.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
Suddenly, a violent sound of Spirit power collision came from the dense forest ahead!
Strong energy fluctuations could be clearly perceived even from a distance.
He frowned slightly, and subconsciously pulled Jiang Zhu behind him, his Spiritual power spreading forward like an invisible spider web.
He saw three masked figures chasing a woman in the clearing in the woods ahead.
The three of them cooperated well with each other, and their Spirit power was surging. They were all Soul Emperors above level 60!
The woman they were chasing had a slim figure, but her movements were clumsy. She was surrounded by green leaf-shaped light and shadows, and was struggling to resist the attack from behind.
He could see that she was obviously at the end of her strength, with wounds all over her body and her breathing disordered.
This woman's figure...why does it look a little familiar?
