Chapter 18
"And then there was nothing else. I only memorized some prescriptions and nearly half of the herbs in the book. After that, no matter how hard I pushed myself, I couldn't learn anything. Massage was okay, but I only learned half of it. No matter who I was asked to prick, I wouldn't dare to do it." Speaking of this, Bei Qiao was actually a little regretful: "When I took the college entrance examination, I didn't apply for medicine. Fortunately, I persisted in martial arts classes for a longer time and achieved some results." This martial arts class is not the martial arts class in martial arts novels, but a martial arts class in reality that simply teaches people to practice boxing and kicking.
"Hey, maybe you're just not good at this, and are better at something else? To be honest, although I'm studying medicine, I still want to yell, even a dog wouldn't study medicine!" Qi Zhi made a face.
“Pfft, hahahaha…”
Because Beiqiao had a special car to pick her up this time, and the price happened to be right, Qi Zhi bought a lot of medicinal herbs, and it took some time to sort them out.
It looked like it was going to rain that evening. Large dark clouds were already gathering in the distant sky, and the sky was rapidly darkening. Seeing the increasing number of dark clouds, Qi Zhi hurriedly urged Bei Qiao to return home, even paying him twenty copper coins as wages: "Hurry up, or you'll get caught in the rain if you're any later."
"Okay, thank you." Bei Qiao took the copper coin with a slightly serious expression.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so serious?"
Bei Qiao came back to his senses and smiled. "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a little sad. It's really impossible to get rich by working." The copper coins in the game are like real-life savings, increasing slower than a turtle. I need to change my mindset, otherwise making money here will be no different from being a social worker.
No, there is a difference. If she doesn't work hard, she will be even poorer than a regular office worker. One can't just start a business. Fortunately, she doesn't have much savings, so if she fails, it will only be a failure, not a loss of money.
"Haha, who doesn't want to get rich quickly? Before I studied medicine, I thought I would become the youngest dean, and I could make diseases flee by chatting and laughing, but...tsk." Qi Zhi looked at the sky outside and shook her head: overtime, huh!
"Then I'll be leaving first. It looks like it's going to rain. Don't worry about the medicine yet. Just close the doors and windows." Bei Qiao jumped onto the donkey cart: "Go!"
"Goodbye!" Qi Zhi waved and watched Bei Qiao leave, turning to look at the deserted street: "No one's closing the shop!" It's so cool to open your own clinic. You can close it whenever you want. Oh, right, I need to put some typhoid medicine in the window to prevent someone from knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
By the time Bei Qiao drove back to the escort agency, it was already dark. In the distance, layers of dark clouds formed, the air became humid, and the wind began to pick up.
Bei Qiao led the donkey into the shed, checked the trough, and then pushed the cart into the shed and secured it in the corner to protect it from the rain. Finally, she rubbed her head and checked all the locks in the yard: "Okay, no problem, I can close the security door and leave safely."
Bei Qiao took off his holographic glasses, rubbed his eyes, opened the bedroom door, and just in time smelled the fragrance of rice.
"Are you done? Come over and eat." Qiao Lin brought the porridge out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table. "Go get your chopsticks and walk around a bit. Your dad and I have finished eating and are planning to go out to digest our food. After you finish eating, wash the dishes and then go out for a walk. Don't stay at home all the time."
"I know!" Bei Qiao walked into the kitchen yawning.
After eating and washing the dishes, Bei Qiao changed out of his slippers, took his keys and cell phone, and went out.
It was not raining in the real world and the sky was still bright. Bei Qiao strolled all the way to the gate of the community, crossed the road, walked into the park across the street, and began to take a walk to digest his food.
The city where Bei Qiao is located is called Blue Sea City, located in the north of China. The climate in the summer is not particularly hot, so it is a good place to escape the heat. There are especially many people coming out to play at night.
"Summer vacation is almost over...ah, yes, I don't have summer vacation this year." Sitting on a wooden chair in the park, Bei Qiao looked up at the sky: Although only two days have passed, he has encountered a lot of things. He doesn't know how other players are doing hunting on Yuanshan. He must find a chance to go up the mountain and take a look next time.
"Hello, auntie!" A little girl with a pink bow on her head skipped by. Children of this age seem to like saying hello especially, and they call everyone uncle or auntie.
"Hello." Bei Qiao didn't care at all about being called Auntie. She nodded casually, took out her phone and tapped a few times, then stood up and continued to stroll around to digest her food. "The next martial arts class starts in an hour, so I'll stroll around for a while."
Half an hour later, Bei Qiao left the park and returned home. His parents, who had gone out to digest their food, had already returned and were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching the news broadcast.
After saying hello to his parents, Bei Qiao closed the door, changed his shoes, and went back to his room to change into light clothes to prepare for martial arts class. Martial arts classes are taught online in a holographic mode, with both multi-to-one and one-to-one formats. All you need is a large enough space and a mat at home to take classes anytime, without having to leave the house. It's very convenient.
After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Bei Qiao put on his holographic glasses again: "Open the official website, search for martial arts trial classes, select the many-to-one mode, and confirm to enter."
As the name suggests, a martial arts trial class allows students to take a trial class first to get a feel for the intensity before deciding whether to pay for the full course. The first class is free, but subsequent classes will incur a fee. The tuition is not high, just the price of two cups of milk tea.
Perhaps because everyone dreams of becoming a martial arts hero, this trial course has an astonishingly high number of views, consistently topping the charts. Some, lacking perseverance but still possessing unwavering dreams, even revisit the trial course repeatedly, regardless of the expense. However, their perseverance only goes so far; even with just a trial course, some people give up midway. Ultimately, their martial arts dreams are fulfilled by posing for photos.
There is still some time before the course officially starts, and students are still logging in one after another. More and more people appear in the holographic classroom, and then they are divided into different rooms by the system.
The martial arts holographic classroom simulated an outdoor sports field. The instructor stood on a stone platform at the front of each room, dressed in a bright yellow training suit, his head held high and his chest puffed out, his gaze fixed squarely ahead. When the time came, he didn't wait for everyone to quiet down before beginning the lesson. He didn't care how many people were listening, or how much they absorbed the lesson.
The first thing to do in a martial arts class is to warm up. Students who don't have the patience to warm up won't be able to move on to the next stage. After all, safety is an issue that cannot be ignored.
"The movements must be performed properly. Those who fail to do so and suffer cramps will be identified by the system, and complaints will not be accepted." The martial arts teacher performed each movement carefully on the stone platform. The bright yellow training suit with outlines made his each movement very conspicuous.
After the warm-up, the second stage is to practice basic skills. To ensure that the students' movements are accurate, the system automatically simulates a human figure that matches the students' appearance. Students must perform the movements exactly as the figure and repeat them a sufficient number of times before they can move on to the next stage.
Bei Qiao herself had a foundation in martial arts, so the basics came easily to her, and she didn't feel tired at all after completing a set of movements. However, her lack of fatigue didn't guarantee that others wouldn't either. Simply getting the movements right was enough to stump many. By the time she finished the set, more than a dozen people had already left the class, unable to continue.
"It's good that only a dozen people quit today." The martial arts teacher nodded with satisfaction.
The third stage of martial arts class is the back-to-back body position.
"Why do we have to learn this?" The previous basic training was very physically demanding. When they learned that they would immediately begin mental training after the physical exercise, the students complained: "I'm here to be a hero, not a doctor."
"Yes!" A student who was too tired to stand up sat on the ground and raised his hand to press his swollen solar plexus. If he hadn't cared about his image, he would have wanted to lie down on the spot: "Teacher, my head feels so tired that it's buzzing and I can't concentrate on anything. Can I not learn?" Please tell me I can, thank you!
"Of course you don't have to learn it." The martial arts teacher who was distributing disposable reading materials nodded casually: "The purpose of the learning level is to lay the foundation for practicing internal energy and light skills. If you don't plan to learn these, then..."
"What kind of internal energy lightness skill is this?" The man's eyes lit up, and he struggled to get up from the ground with his weak legs: "Don't help me, I can still continue practicing!"
When the others heard that the back acupoints were related to internal strength, they immediately became excited: I can be a hero who comes and goes like the wind!
"You have perseverance, keep it up!" The martial arts teacher gave a thumbs up: "Oh, by the way, even though the internal force of Qinggong cannot be used in real life, but..."
"Ah? If you can't use it in real life, forget it." After hearing that they couldn't use internal force in real life, several students who were still struggling decisively withdrew from the trial class: after all, the other world is another world. If you can't use internal force in real life, then what's the point of practicing martial arts so hard?
Martial arts teacher: “…” Forget it, I’m used to it. There are many people like this who lack perseverance.
"Teacher, why can't internal force be used in reality?" Bei Qiao asked, raising his hand.
"Scientists haven't studied this issue clearly. The most reliable theory at present is that our Earth lacks a kind of energy compared to the other world, something similar to spiritual energy. Without that thing, internal force is like water without a source, and it naturally cannot come out." After handing out the information, the martial arts teacher returned to the stone platform and demonstrated light work to everyone: "However, in "Martial Arts in Another World" and the affiliated martial arts classes, internal force exists and can be used. It is not difficult to learn." Those who find it difficult basically cannot learn it.
"Those who cultivate internal energy in another world for a long time will also see improvements in their physical fitness in reality. This theory is supported by data... Okay, hurry up and memorize it. Remember one thing, you may not remember the acupoints, but you must not remember them wrong!" The consequences of internal energy going the wrong way in the meridians are not fun.
