Chapter 122: Retreat, Advance, and Temper
"Hmm... hum..."
At the end of the day, Jiang Yi turned into mud and collapsed on the chair.
The body twitched and the eyes were dull.
pain! It hurts so much!
Itchy! It itches so much!
The seven different experiences of the seven elements are completely different from the paralyzing pain of a single thunder element.
The pain comes in eighteen kinds of forms and the itch is like nineteen levels of hell.
The itching and redness like an allergy to the elements, and the unbearable scratching, made him collapse more than the pain.
He persisted until the end, trying to dance with the sword in his mind, divert his attention, and integrate his consciousness into the Tai Chi West Wind Battle Sword Dance.
Then, both the sword heart and sword intent were shattered.
Ordinary people have strong faith and will, and they remain calm even when they are stabbed with swords, burned in fire, or tortured.
Jiang Yi has no clear belief, and the sword intent is the strongest spiritual protection condensed from his energy and spirit.
Once the sword's will is broken and the spirit is drained, one's will will immediately become depressed.
Protect the turtle!
What a powerful turtle!
The body can recover through repeated treatments and withstand the ravages of the seven elements, but the spirit obviously cannot.
Just ignore the bold words I said before the experiment.
"Cheer up, little cutie!"
"Today, I made bone vegetable soup!"
"Sugar donated all the fresh bones she used for research, but she was reluctant to do so."
Lisa feeds Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi felt that today's soup did taste much better.
Just ...
"Wait, sugar, bone soup?" He shuddered.
Looking at those pieces of bones, bad memories suddenly came to my mind.
Yesterday, in addition to taking him to visit the Sweet Flower Plantation, Sandang also took him to see the laboratory at his request.
It's purely the curiosity of a liberal arts student.
After he entered Sugar's laboratory, he saw alchemical instruments that were even more amazing than the ones Lisa had seen, and... a pile of fresh bones with blood and flesh.
Collecting bones seems to be Sugar's hobby.
Inside, in addition to the common chicken bones, pig bones, frog bones, grass carp bones, lizard bones... there was also her favorite and most precious one, a Qiuqiu man's thigh bone.
Jiang Yi asked about the origin of the bone in a very suicidal manner.
By the way, I wonder if Sato is a dog-eared girl, which is why she has such an outrageous hobby.
Now, looking at this soup and the bones in the bowl, the more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong.
Sandang said that she bought too much yesterday and didn't have time to process the bones for preservation and splicing, so she decided to find a place to dispose of some of them.
"Is this bone of yours a pig bone?" Jiang Yi asked Lisa carefully.
Lisa stared at the soup, confused.
"My sister usually only stews vegetables, and the bone soup base is made with sugar at noon. Is it pork bones?"
"Sister doesn't know either?"
Jiang Yi's face turned pale and he covered his mouth.
"I'll ask the sugar before I drink!"
Although he felt that Sugar would not be willing to use the leg bones of the Qiuqiu people to make soup, he still felt more at ease by asking.
After a day of torture, I became so mentally weakened that I became a little suspicious.
"Sugar, do you still have your Hilichurl thigh bone?"
"Ah? It's... it's still there."
"Jiang Yi, do you want to use it? It's not impossible, but... you have to... buy it back next time."
Sugar’s reply is reassuring.
"I don't want it! Keep it well, don't let anyone use it to make soup!"
Ignoring Lisa's dangerous look, Jiang Yi mustered up the courage to make a pointed suggestion.
"Don't sleep too deeply tonight, little cutie!"
……
Three days later,
Jiang Yi walked out of the can, holding his head in autism.
"No!"
"My concentrated sword intent has shattered again!"
"A body of steel, a will of steel, it's easier said than done!"
"Even if you kill me, I won't go in!"
Lisa hugged her chest and held the contract.
"My Lord Honorable Knight, have you forgotten the contract you wrote?"
"When you wrote the contract, you anticipated that you might give up. So, in order to block your retreat, we forced you to grow up. But we wrote a huge price."
Jiang Yi looked at the words above and almost slapped himself.
Sure enough, it’s not good to know yourself too well.
If he could go back to the time when he wrote the contract, he would strangle himself to death.
"This is the performance of a normal human being." Albedo recorded the data and said to Jiang Yi while holding a notebook.
"It seems that you lack the motivation to persevere."
“For example, the anticipation after completing the experiment every day.”
"Would you like to have a nice meal, or see a circus or listen to a concert?"
"Due to closed management, the Alchemy Workshop cannot provide these!"
"But I can use alchemy to make something you like."
"what do you like?"
Jiang Yi looked at Albedo.
Albedo added: "It would be best if it was something I understood and easy to create. I heard from the Knights' information that you like to catch wind crystal butterflies."
"I could draw one right now and give it life."
"Forget it!" Jiang Yi lowered his head.
Albedo probably can't create things from his hometown.
Suddenly, I gave up the idea.
Sucrose covered her face with her notes and looked at the depressed experimental subject. She immediately thought of ways to comfort him and share Albedo's worries.
Healing of the mind and spirit is just as important as healing of the body.
She is not a Mondstadt idol who can soothe aching and depressed spirits with her singing.
But the cuteness of some things can also make people happy and help them get out of trouble.
For example, the cats at the Cat's Tail Tavern.
"Restore the subject's emotional health and prepare for the second phase of the experiment."
Sugar quick record.
"Although it will lose the effect of tempering your will, the anesthetic can make you feel much better!" Lisa tidied up Jiang Yi's messy short hair that was ruined and grown, grown and fallen out again.
"Mental resistance to pain is also a must for the strong." Jiang Yi rubbed his head in pain, "If anesthetics were used at the beginning, I would have used it!"
"But I have persisted for so long, and when I use it again, I don't think that the pain I endured before was in vain."
"To someone like me who has no idea where to go, wanting to grow quickly and safely is like an illusory dream."
"I have lived an ordinary life for twenty years and my extraordinary life has just begun. Why do I have to back off again?"
"Push a little, be patient!"
"If you're a little more ruthless, this month will be gone!"
"I'm begging you to hold on and complete the transformation!"
Jiang Yi pulled himself together a little, bowed and prayed.
"My dear, if you have the intention, I will encourage you." Lisa smiled gently.
Albedo stroked his chin: "Are you yearning for something extraordinary?"
"In another world, is being ordinary more unbearable than this pain?"
Another four days.
Jiang Yi stepped out of the can and fell to the ground.
His eyes were moist as he looked at the group of slimes in the back row who were also tearful and almost being squeezed dry.
Every day when these humans go in and out of the experimental cans, they have to experience the extraction of elements of frustration and despair that even low-level intelligence feels.
They are happiest when they are fed a little bit of elemental potion.
"Twenty-two days left!"
Jiang Yi wrote on the ground with his fingers.
Chief Alchemist and Librarian, plus Alchemist Sucrose for a month.
There may not be an opportunity in the future to spend such precious time and resources again to complete the training of the body and spirit.
The air in the chest disperses and gathers, gathers and disperses.
As devastated as the body.
Qi is based on the physical body, and the transformation of the physical body also affects the Qi in the body.
Among the seven elements, the Qi is unneutralized and unaffected.
It’s about to sprout!
