Chapter 293: Cooking = Healing? That’s Too Fantastical
Mo Si looked at Jiang Qiuqiu’s earnest expression and realized she genuinely didn’t know she had healed people.
"You don’t know about your ability?"
"What ability?" ’So secretive.’
He realized that Jiang Qiuqiu had a flawed understanding of Spirit Healing. In the automated Hovercar on their way back, he decided to break things down and explain everything to her clearly.
"We’ve done a lot of Spiritual Training, so you should know that you use up a lot of spiritual power when you cook, right?"
"Yeah! I know that."
"Have you ever thought about why that is?"
It was part of a very complex system. Even interstellar people hadn’t fully uncovered all the secrets of spiritual power.
Mo Si and Mo Chengyu had discussed the information they had on this matter and had come up with a preliminary analysis of the cause.
They guessed that Jiang Qiuqiu’s spiritual power had a strong Healing Attribute. Furthermore, she was very focused when she cooked, and this focus made it easier for her to pour her spiritual power into the food, imbuing it with Healing Power.
"So, Black Hole, you mean... my cooking has a Spirit Healing function?"
"Yes." Afraid that Jiang Qiuqiu wouldn’t understand, Mo Si gave a very simple example. "The food you make has the same effect as Spirit Nourishing Liquid."
"But I eat it every day, and I don’t feel anything special—"
"That’s because you don’t know how to use your power yet. All the Healing Power comes from your subconscious," Mo Si analyzed. "Plus, you don’t have any genetic defects or a collapsing psyche, so you wouldn’t feel much of an effect."
"You’d only feel like you’re replenishing your energy."
Jiang Qiuqiu thought Mo Si was joking, but then she considered it and realized it would explain a lot of things.
Why she would get exhausted so easily when she cooked a little more at the beginning. And why eating something when she was tired felt like it was saving her life—
But she still found it all a bit strange. "So if I go to the Spirit Healing Department, what would I even learn?"
"It’s not like they’re going to teach me how to cook, right?"
"No." Mo Si recalled that the Spirit Healing Department at Federation University was currently run by Elder Zhu. "Qiuqiu, every Spirit Healing Master has a different healing method."
"Some people heal with music, some with song, some with painting. Someone like Mrs. Ai’er, for example, uses her Original Spiritual Power." Mrs. Ai’er’s spiritual power developed on the battlefield. Back then, there weren’t any fancy conditions; she just had to do it the hard way.
Perhaps Mrs. Ai’er had other methods in the beginning, but after doing things the hard way for so long, that was the only method she had left. She used her Original Spiritual Power directly, and when she was fast, she could heal three to five people at once.
"The Spirit Healing Department will teach you how to use your healing spiritual power, how to control it, and how to strengthen it—"
Mo Si’s words made Jiang Qiuqiu completely re-evaluate the Spirit Healing Department.
"So what you’re saying is... after I graduate, I won’t have to treat patients like Grandma Ai’er? I’ll just need to open a restaurant?"
"Theoretically, yes."
Jiang Qiuqiu: ...
She imagined it now: N years later, Jiang Qiuqiu, outstanding graduate of Federation University’s Spirit Healing Department, has started her own business! Come one, come all, don’t miss out!
On the verge of a mental collapse? Have a bowl of braised pork!
Exhausted from pulling an all-nighter studying Mecha piloting? Have a fried pork chop!
One bowl of Rice and your fatigue will vanish; two bowls will leave you refreshed and sharp...
It sounded just like a pyramid scheme.
Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing about?"
"Nothing." Jiang Qiuqiu shook her head. "I’m just suddenly finding the Spirit Healing Department very interesting."
Mo Si’s expression softened slightly.
