CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 418: A STEP FORWARD

Outside the house.

The sound insulation is good, and even though the discussion inside can’t be heard, Ji You’s lips unconsciously curl up: "Fools! Lucky for me you’re blind! Blind as bats, else I’d be fallen really hard!"

"What are you muttering about?" Suddenly, Sheng Qingyan’s voice came from behind.

Ji You jumped in surprise, patted her chest vigorously, and cursed: "You sneak up like a thief! Why don’t you make any sound when you walk!"

Sheng Qingyan was puzzled: "What’s wrong with me walking quietly? Isn’t my voice loud enough?"

Ji You: "..."

That made sense, and she found herself at a loss for words.

"By the way." Sheng Qingyan asked further: "What were you muttering just now?"

She’s really pressing for an answer, and Ji You deliberately pouted: "Saying you all are blind, can’t recognize such a famous person like me!"

Sheng Qingyan despised: "Who are you?"

Ji You placed her hands on her hips, her aura billowing: "I am none other than the great, the one and only, ’Wodetian Haoshuai is also!"

Sheng Qingyan: "..."

Sheng Qingyan somewhat regretted asking such a question.

So, she quietly stepped away from Ji You a few steps.

Ji You was leisurely joyful, jogging slowly.

It took about half an hour to run back to the dormitory, and it was almost time to sleep, so Ji You simply cleared her mind and went to bed.

The next day.

Began a day of tense and busy training and learning.

Until the afternoon when school ended, even after a whole day’s learning, Ji You did not relax. After dinner, Ji You run to the infirmary and immediately saw Dr. Luo wearing a white lab coat, revealing a full face of loving smile.

Dr. Luo: "Yo~ Our Ji, the god of wealth, is here."

Ji You with a pained face, said: "Dr. Luo, please stop teasing me! With my poverty, what do I have other than a daring mouth and a daring heart?"

Dr. Luo, amused, said: "Today’s medicine bath is still 5000 points, quick, payment upon delivery!"

Upon hearing this, Ji You’s smile faded considerably, and with a wide-open mouth, she started to act pitifully: "Holding a steamed bun in hand, not a drop of oil in the food..."

Dr. Luo’s eyelids twitched, quickly said: "Enough! Stop singing! It’s oddly disturbing!"

Ji You sang even louder: "Holding a steamed bun in hand, the food has no..."

Smack!

Dr. Luo raised his hand and sharply knocked on the back of Ji You’s head, laughingly scolded: "You little rascal! If you keep being naughty, I’ll raise the price!"

Ji You: "..."

Ji You chuckled: "Jus... just joking."

Dr. Luo curled his lip: "Humph! Keep singing that, and it won’t be just a joke I’d let off."

Ji You scratched her head, slightly embarrassed: "Dr. Luo, why has the price of the medicine solution never dropped? It isn’t right... How can students afford it if this continues?"

Dr. Luo smiled and said: "I don’t rely on selling this for money."

Ji You speechlessly said: "Then why it’s so expensive."

Dr. Luo glanced at her, said: "You get what you pay for, want something cheaper? Go out, turn right, then left, and there’s a street bench, you’ll get rest faster if you sleep there."

Ji You: "..."

She realized, throughout the Lanyue Star Military Academy, from the principal, directors, teachers, doctors... down to the academy’s gatekeeper robots, cleaning robots... none had a mouth that spoke human words.

Sharp tongues...

All affected by radiation, that kind.

Nevermind.

Ji You didn’t bother to engage further, dull.

Dr. Luo earnestly began preparing the medicine for Ji You. Ji You watched for a long time but couldn’t make heads or tails of it. The medicine solution Dr. Luo prepared for her was extremely complicated, including hundreds to thousands of different types...

Several, Ji You took a quick glance and couldn’t help but feel a thrill of fear!

Expensive!

It’s really expensive!

However, the expensive medicinal materials are used in small quantities, and when estimated, the price isn’t so scary, which is the only comforting thought for Ji You.

This—

This incurred favor is a bit too much, in the future... can only study and train even harder to repay the school.

Of course, whenever the school has a request or need, Ji You will absolutely fulfill it dutifully.

Dr. Luo prepared the medicinal solution and handed it to Ji You, speaking in a somewhat stern tone: "Soak on time! Remember, if you have any adverse reactions, stop immediately and call me right away!"

Ji You nodded earnestly: "Yes! Dr. Luo! Thank you, Dr. Luo!"

Dr. Luo smiled and said: "Don’t thank me just yet, pay first."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You quickly transferred the money.

points, not one less, not one more.

Dr. Luo looked down, his mouth skewed, and cursed: "You slick one, shorted me 1 point again!"

Ji You chuckled: "Dr. Luo, please take pity on this kid... just consider it as buying me 2 pieces of ribs to eat..."

Dr. Luo waved his hand, his face full of disdain: "Annoying, just get out of here!"

So—

Ji You quickly left.

Back at the dormitory, Ji You immediately used the medicinal solution for a bath. After several days of continuous use, not only had the adverse reactions to the medicinal solution reduced, but while soaking in the medicine bath, Ji You only felt a slight discomfort, and after soaking, even felt a sensation like being cleansed and cut to the marrow, just like in a cultivation novel!

Magical!

It’s so magical!

After soaking, Ji You immediately performed a set of Fierce Tiger Body Forging Technique, and doing so after the medicine bath was like adding wings to a tiger, completing the set almost without pauses.

However, the Fierce Tiger Skill was too strong and vigorous, previously every time Ji You finished training, her physical strength was nearly depleted, feeling too tired to even move her fingers. But today, she inexplicably felt a bit of leftover energy...

Ji You was about to stop, then suddenly thought, should exhaust her physical strength completely!

So, Ji You performed the second round...

Only, with insufficient physical strength, this time she could only complete one-third of it before she could move no more.

Ji You simply stopped and closed her eyes to rest.

After a while.

After recovering most of her physical strength, Ji You crawled up from the floor. Another magical aspect of the medicine bath and body building technique was that Ji You’s physical strength recovery rate was increasing faster, which was absolutely rejoiceful!

As Ji You stood up and walked towards the bathroom, her steps paused; today’s feeling was even stranger than just recovering physical strength, her steps seemed lighter, her hearing sharper, and her vision clearer...

The changes in the five senses made Ji You widen her eyes, could it be—

Ji You couldn’t wait to enter the training and testing device she had bought.

After a systematic check, Ji You looked at the displayed results, smiling so broadly her teeth were almost not visible!

D-grade!

Her physical strength had finally improved to D-grade!

Now, her individual talent had finally become both spiritual power and physical strength at D-grade!

This step, the journey Ji You took was simply too hard! Too hard!

Eyes fixed on the results, Ji You couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch the sweat on her forehead, then clenched her fist tightly:

Today’s small improvement lays the foundation for a big step in the future!

In short!

There’s no shortcut to success, only step by step!
