Chapter 67: Deep Breath, Feeling Dizzy is Normal
These people were not English majors, and their school was only an undergraduate one. Although it was not to the point where they could not understand a single word, there really were not many cases where the English was this straightforward.
After all, if it was English they could understand, it was hardly good English. Anyway, Lin Mo felt that his English had almost all been returned to his English teacher already. Even his Level 4 exam was barely passed.
It had to be said, Second Master’s blade was sharp, but his words were even sharper.
It was obvious that as an outsider, Sichuan Girl had already noticed that something was wrong. But she could not possibly say directly to Wang Chu, “The woman you like is not a good thing,” right?
No matter how close the relationship, it could not be said so bluntly. What if the two really ended up together? That would be too awkward!
When the newlyweds took the stage to give a speech: “We went through many hardships along the way, now let Hardship come up and say a few words.”
Anyone would be unable to bear that.
In the end, Wang Chu still dragged Sichuan Girl away first. Lin Mo also did not expose these two ridiculous fellows who had come to the library to tail him. His mind was not on that matter at all.
After Wang Chu and Sichuan Girl left, Lin Mo returned to the library alone, continuing to quietly read books and enjoy the immersive pleasure of reading.
He did not know if it was the effect of Brain Platinum, but he felt that his brain was spinning extremely quickly. Normally, he had no sense of his memory ability, but if it increased or decreased in the short term, the change was very obvious.
At six in the afternoon, Lin Mo closed the book, having finally rushed to finish the upper volume.
In one day, he had even taken Brain Platinum three times. Although it was said to supplement brain nutrition, he still felt a kind of dizziness and swelling in his head.
He closed his eyes, did eye exercises, massaging the eye sockets for a while before finally relieving the eye fatigue.
“Why don’t I feel anything?”
Opening his eyes again, Lin Mo looked at his hands and realized he did not feel that same sensation of mastering a certain technique as before. He only had more theoretical knowledge of Massage and Bone Setting in his head.
But at the same time, he knew the knowledge in his head was what he had read and memorized, related to Brain Platinum, but definitely not the skill of Massage and Bone Setting itself. These were two different things.
It was like a medical student who had a head full of theoretical knowledge, but could not be called a qualified doctor.
“Could it be that I need to finish all three volumes? No way. If that was the case, then why make three volumes of upper, middle, and lower? Wouldn’t it be simpler to make one thicker book? Wait a minute...”
Suddenly, Lin Mo thought of the product description at the beginning.
【Massage and Bone Setting Illustrated Version, three volumes; made a decision against the ancestors, you will know it after reading, burn after reading; ￥24.5】
“Could it be that I have to burn it after reading?” Lin Mo wondered, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
From his experiences during this period, every single line of the product description on the shopping page had turned out to be true. In that case, “burn after reading” might be another precondition.
After a moment of thought, Lin Mo gritted his teeth: “Let’s do it, I’ve finished reading anyway.”
Saying that, he picked up the book and left the library where he had stayed all day, preparing to find a place to burn it.
If this still did not work, then the only option was to finish all three volumes of upper, middle, and lower to truly master the so-called skill.
He went to a supermarket and bought a lighter. He did not smoke and did not have the habit of carrying fire with him.
In their dormitory, only Wang Chu and Old Zhao smoked, but the two were quite considerate, hardly ever smoking inside the dorm. When they did, it was either in the restroom or outside.
At the curb by the back gate of the school, Lin Mo found a slightly secluded spot. He tore the book into single pages, then lit them with the lighter.
At first, he had thought of burning it inside the school. But since freshmen had just started, the Student Union was quite active. Although he was already a senior, there was no need to invite bad luck.
Outside, there were no such concerns. After all, outside, one’s identity was whatever one said it was.
But the downside was obvious—he looked very much like someone burning paper offerings by the roadside during Qingming Festival.
As the flames burned, Lin Mo clearly felt a difference this time. The sensation of knowledge entering his mind in a strange way had returned.
And as the book burned more and more, the knowledge in his mind grew, until the entire book had turned into ashes.
“It worked. I’ve succeeded!”
Lin Mo looked at his hands. At this moment, the technique of Massage and Bone Setting was completely mastered, as if he had practiced for many years, skillful and proficient.
He also realized that his current level was probably equivalent to that of a doctor in an ordinary hospital—professional, but not yet an expert. But it did not matter. Once he finished the other two volumes, he would definitely be a high-level Massage and Bone Setting master, the professional kind.
After confirming the fire was fully out, Lin Mo pinched a handful of burnt ashes, crushed them, and refined them instantly: “Hmm, almost at the peak of the third stage. Sichuan Girl, wait for me!”
After saying this, Lin Mo could no longer hold back the smile on his face. He turned around and jogged toward the dormitory.
Inside the dormitory, Sichuan Girl, holding her stiff neck, suddenly shivered: “Eh~ Why did I just get chills? Could it be I’m catching a cold?
Forget it. Anyway, when will Old Mo come back? The time is almost up.”
On the other side, Wang Chu, holding a large bouquet of white roses, smiled and said: “Soon, very soon. He said he’s already on his way back. Sichuan Girl, do you think if I give her this lipstick, my goddess will be happy?”
“If she likes you, you could give her a blade of grass and she’d be happy. If she doesn’t like you, even if you gave her ten gold bars, it wouldn’t matter. And if she neither likes you nor gold bars, then you’re just a dung beetle who’s run into diarrhea—came for nothing!” Sichuan Girl rubbed her neck, replying weakly.
Wang Chu: ...
“No, I admit what you said is true, but isn’t your metaphor a little... lacking elegance?”
“Then watch Second Master Guan’s video a few more times. That’s elegant.”
Wang Chu was left speechless. This whole afternoon, Sichuan Girl had already been annoyed enough by him. Not only had they not found the house, but her neck was stiff, and at night they still had to attend the birthday party of someone not even that familiar. Exhausting.
Just then, the dormitory door banged open, and Lin Mo rushed in, panting.
“You’re back, Old Mo. Hurry up, the location has already been sent. We...”
Seeing him return, Wang Chu immediately stood up to urge him. But Lin Mo directly pushed him aside: “Move away. Sichuan Girl, quick, let me play with you...”
Wang Chu: ???
Sichuan Girl: (⊙_⊙)
“Old Mo, wait, calm down! Right now I’m Chuanzi, not Li Shiya!”
Lin Mo directly pressed Sichuan Girl onto a chair: “Cut the nonsense. Tell me, your neck isn’t better yet, right?”
“No... no, it still hurts.” Sichuan Girl stammered, not knowing what he was up to.
Lin Mo let out a breath of relief: “Good!”
Sichuan Girl: ...
What kind of person was this? My neck hasn’t healed, and you’re happy about it?
The next second, Lin Mo stood behind Sichuan Girl: “Sit up straight.”
As he spoke, he began kneading the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles behind her neck. At the peak of the third stage, such a small problem was nothing to him.
“Does it hurt?”
“It hurts, lighter!”
“It’s fine, you’ll feel comfortable in a moment. I’ll be gentle.”
Wang Chu: ...
What the heck? These lines sound wrong. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Mo had Sichuan Girl lean back, his hands making a motion as if to twist her neck off, while his mouth said:
“Take a deep breath, feeling dizzy is normal~”
