Chapter 23 Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique)
Without further ado, Mingzhao opened the first chapter and began practicing.
To learn light-body skills, the first step is to stabilize your lower body and ensure that you can maintain a stable center of gravity in any situation.
Mingzhao unbuckled his seatbelt, stood on the ground, and followed the breathing techniques described in the book, coordinating with the rhythm of the waves to find a stable center of gravity.
A huge wave crashed in, and the ship tilted at a 45-degree angle in an instant.
Mingzhao fell flat on her face, but she immediately got up, dusted herself off, and continued practicing.
As instructed on board, one should keep their feet stationary and adapt to the ship's movements simply by shifting their center of gravity.
After practicing for about an hour, I gradually mastered the techniques.
Now, no matter how much the ship rocks, Mingzhao can maintain his original position.
The next step is to practice small, quick steps for cushioning.
Quickly alternate between stepping on each foot, adjusting the size and rhythm of your stride to match the waves, maintaining a spring-like lightness of movement to ensure you can launch yourself forward at any moment should anything happen.
This step of the exercise also took an hour to complete, and Mingzhao wiped the sweat from his face.
The ship gradually slowed down, and she took out a new speed-up card and clicked to use it again.
I checked my sanity; thanks to the calming music box, I still have 40 left.
Mingzhao began learning the third part of "Lingbo Weibu": the diagonal flash step.
When you anticipate that the boat is about to tilt to the left, point your right toes to the left, twist your waist, and step back with your left foot. The opposite is true when tilting to the right.
The key to practicing this footwork is to go with the boat's rocking and use the power of the waves, rather than fighting against them.
Mingzhao practiced this step for an hour and a half and barely grasped it.
After practicing the three basic steps, it's time to practice the footwork.
At this point, Mingzhao's rationality was down to 22, and his physical strength was almost exhausted, so he had no choice but to stop regretfully.
When I opened the service area group chat, I found it was filled with cries of despair.
The king summoned me to patrol the mountain: "Does anyone have a medicine to restore sanity? I opened ten chests today and they were all full of monsters. I'm beyond saving."
Fish and Chips: "I'm offering a large sum of money for a bandage or medication to stop the bleeding, just so I can survive tonight."
Creamy Peach: "Waaaaah, I'm so hot! My finger is bleeding, it's so scary~"
Hyrule thug: "Looking for antidote and hemostatic bandages. Name your price."
...
Looking at it this way, the number of injured people is quite large.
Mingzhao's first aid kit contained 10 rolls of hemostatic gauze, 4 bottles of hemostatic spray, and a box of snakebite tablets, which should be enough for detoxification.
She was confident she wouldn't get hurt in the initial area, and she also had two station selection cards, which she had originally planned to use to buy some supplies at the hospital the next day.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "I have 10 rolls of hemostatic bandages and 4 bottles of hemostatic spray here. I'll send them to the trading hall later. Anyone who needs them can buy them. You can also list any leftovers."
Ignoring the string of "thank you, big shot" messages below, she simply hung the item up.
To prevent people from not being able to afford it, she added 5 ordinary ingredients to each set, which was practically free.
The moment it was put on the shelf, the inventory was reduced to zero.
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "Did everyone get one?"
Fish and Chips: "No, I kept refreshing, and the inventory went to zero the moment it appeared."
Hyrule thug: "I didn't manage to steal it. Am I really going to die? Sigh, I didn't even survive a week."
After refreshing the page for ages, not a single person said they had successfully snagged a deal.
Mingzhao found it strange and opened the transaction records, only to find that all the hemostatic bandages and hemostatic sprays had been snapped up by Drink More Hot Water.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "[Image], come out and explain what you mean by this? @DrinkMoreHotWater"
Regarding drinking hot water: "You've clearly marked the prices, why can't I buy it? You can buy everything in the supermarket, what law am I breaking by buying this?"
He kicked the lame man's good leg repeatedly: "[Image], I'm truly amazed—it's eye-opening. These were things that saved someone's life. You made money, but you lost your horse. Was it all worth it?"
The picture clearly shows the newly launched hemostatic spray and bandages from the "Drink More Hot Water" product line.
Each item comes with a full 10 upgrade cards!
Mingzhao was so angry that her liver hurt. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
The comments below are all people criticizing others for drinking more hot water.
Hyrule thug: "I'd rather die on this sea than buy anything from someone like you. You wait, I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
Fish and chips: "I'll f*** your mother, aren't you afraid of getting retribution?"
Drink more hot water: "This is the price I'm selling it for. Take it or leave it. If you don't want to buy, fine. If you curse me again, I'll block you."
Unity of knowledge and action: "[Image] Who can give me a tracking card? I'll go and kill this bastard."
The picture shows his gun, which seems to be more powerful than the last one.
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "DM me if you need hemostatic bandages and hemostatic spray, I'll buy them at the original price."
After saying that, Mingzhao sent a private message to the "unity of knowledge and action" group.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "This guy is so arrogant, I suspect he has an anti-tracking card. Threaten him first, track him down and make him use the anti-tracking card, then I'll kill him in five minutes."
Unity of knowledge and action: "Okay, you're all set, right? Do you want me to give you a more powerful gun?"
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "No need, I know what I'm doing."
As soon as I received the tracking card from a group member, I opened the private message about drinking more hot water.
Practice what you preach: "You wash your neck clean and wait, I'm coming to get you." [Image]
The picture shows the tracking card he recently received.
Drink more hot water: "Go ahead and try, it's not certain who will solve whom."
Now, by putting knowledge into practice, I am even more certain that drinking more hot water really does have anti-tracking effects.
He used a tracking card, which tracked his drinking more hot water.
Tracking card failed to work.
The message came from the invincible Tyrannomon, a creature that embodies the unity of knowledge and action.
Practice what you preach: "The tracking card failed to work, so his anti-tracking card must have been used up. Be very careful."
Mingzhao waited quietly for five minutes.
Drink more hot water. I just used the anti-tracking card and am still in a tense state.
She wanted to wait until he relaxed and felt that the matter was over before delivering the fatal blow.
He nervously peered out the window, looking around, until the anti-tracking card in his hand turned to ashes, only then did he feel relieved.
He took this card from his friend after his friend died, and used it to trick the Cosmic Invincible Greymon, which could be considered revenge for his friend.
More importantly, by the time those injured people have to use upgrade cards to buy his bandages and medicine, he will have enough upgrade cards to reach level three.
Perhaps this time he will finally get the golden treasure chest that he has been eyeing for so long.
Lost in his daydreams about the wonderful life he would have with the golden treasure chest, he didn't notice a ship silently appearing outside his window.
