The innate vital energy originates from the kidneys. Lafra's kidney energy is deficient, so the kidneys cannot perform their functions well, and she also suffers from frequent urination at night.
“I’m covered in injuries…” Li Wei muttered to himself softly.
Laura said, "I feel pretty healthy in every way except for the hormonal imbalance."
Laura was somewhat unconvinced. She was ranked first in ability within the Black Rabbit Squad, and her physique was far superior to her companions. Therefore, she couldn't accept Levi's statement.
Laura realized that she was slightly impatient because of Li Wei's words, which shocked her. It was just an acupressure massage, yet she had reacted emotionally.
"I! I was actually emotional just now! And I still am!" Laura said incredulously.
Li Wei held down Laura, who was trying to get up, and said, "Don't move. Once you start acupressure massage, you have to do the whole set, otherwise it will have a negative impact on your body. Being able to feel the emotional changes is a good thing; it means the treatment is working."
Laura looked at the ceiling, a smile already on her face, and said, "It's incredible. My mind was in a complete mess right now, but I've suddenly regained my sense of emotion. Right now, I feel like my head has exploded, all sorts of thoughts are rushing out all at once, and it's like the whole world has become vibrant again!"
Laura finally realized that she was indeed alive; she wasn't a robot in human skin, but a living, breathing person.
Chapter 4. The Trip Plan
Li Wei didn't say anything, but continued his work. In reality, ordinary massage is useless for this kind of hormone deficiency. Although massage has a very wide range of applications, it generally treats diseases that can heal themselves. It doesn't have a direct therapeutic effect on the patient's deficiency itself; it can only alleviate the symptoms to a certain extent and prevent the patient's condition from worsening.
However, Li Wei's massage is different from ordinary massage. Even with the addition of medication, ordinary massage can at most allow the medication to penetrate into the lymphatic layer of the subcutaneous tissue, activate antibody cells such as macrophages in the lymphocytes, and kill the pathogens that are present in the body.
For conditions like hormone deficiency, which are inherent to the patient, an "external supplementation method" is needed. This involves using certain methods to deliver the missing substance to the affected area and then addressing the rejection issue so that the medication can be effective.
Lafra's condition involves a significant hormone deficiency, resulting in a disordered endocrine system. Treating it with conventional medical methods is likely to be counterproductive, like "pressing down one end while lifting up the other," resulting in futile efforts.
In severe cases like this, external treatments are ineffective. Li Wei read Lafra's memories and discovered that Chifuyu Orimura had privately asked doctors to find a way to repair Lafra's hormone deficiency. However, after numerous attempts by the top medical team, the final result was still unsatisfactory.
Laura managed to keep herself from completely losing her human emotions by relying on folk remedies she discovered in ancient books.
The magic power seeped into Laura's body and began to slowly repair her. Because her body was severely overdrawn, Levi dared not use excessive force and could only address the problem bit by bit.
Half an hour passed in a flash. Li Wei released his grip and said, "Today's treatment ends here. It seems to have been effective."
Laura sat up instantly. She felt warm all over. Even though the massage had stopped, the comfortable warmth lingered at the acupoints where Li Wei had massaged, and it didn't dissipate for a long time.
She knew her own body well. Although the long hours of overload training had given her the physical qualities of a top-tier soldier, she would feel a dull ache in her body whenever it was rainy.
Having mastered classical German medicine, she knew that her body was suffering from a deep injury. Such old wounds could only be healed slowly over time. She had tried classical massage before, but she had never encountered such good results before.
However, the human body is inherently wondrous, and there are still many aspects of classical medicine that modern science cannot explain. She, who never blindly believed in science, only trusted what she saw with her own eyes. Li Wei's treatment was very effective for her. Although she didn't know the principles behind this massage, the good results were enough; she didn't have the energy to delve deeper into the subject.
Laura gently stroked the places that felt comfortable, a deep, bone-deep comfort that made her feel much lighter.
Laura asked, "When is the next treatment scheduled?"
Li Wei said, "It's not decided yet. At least I have to solve the problem of medicinal materials. The academy doesn't have the medicinal materials I need. I plan to go to Yokohama's Okinawa district on Sundays. There are many pharmacies there, and I should be able to find the medicine I need for treatment there."
Chinese people are found all over the world, and Japan is no exception. Moreover, Japan's Chinatown has its own unique charm, with things that are rarely seen in China, which can often be found in such places.
Laura said, "May I go with you?"
Although Laura is still emotionally sluggish, she's no longer like a robot. Now, a sense of curiosity about Levi has stirred within her, so she wants to follow him and see a completely new world she's never experienced before.
Laura has always been in the military and research institutions, and knows very little about the outside world. If she were in her previous state, such things would naturally not matter to her. But now she has regained her human emotions, and she wants to satisfy her curiosity.
Li Wei walked into a nearby cubicle, turned on the tap to wash his hands, and said, "If you don't mind the trouble, you can come along. I'm going to collect medicinal herbs for you, not to play around, so it might be a bit boring."
Laura said, "It's good enough to be able to go out into the world. I'm unfamiliar with this place, and if I go out alone, I'm likely to run into trouble because I'm not familiar with the local customs and culture. It's much better to have someone who knows the locals guide me than to go out alone."
If she were in her original state, once she decided to do something, she would go all out to collect a lot of information to ensure that she could achieve her personal goals.
Now that she has regained human emotions, her mobility is not as strong as before. She now chooses to let Li Wei take her out, which is a kind of laziness for her. However, she likes this feeling now, which is absolutely rational, though it is not a pleasant thing.
Li Wei used his mind-reading ability to see into Laura's heart; she had indeed changed, which was a good thing. Moreover, going out alone together was a good opportunity to cultivate their relationship. A simple girl like Laura wasn't too difficult to win over.
"Great! It's settled then. We'll go out of the academy on the weekend," Laura said excitedly.
Li Wei calculated that the effects of his massage would last for about a week. After that, the magic would gradually disappear, and the therapeutic effect would also diminish.
The microscopic systems that Laura currently lacks are being sustained by his magic power. Once the magic power is exhausted, the original healing effect will become nonexistent, and the various healing substances will soon be expelled from Laura's body through her own metabolism.
Magic is a near-omnipotent power, but ordinary people cannot withstand it well because they are inherently too fragile. The only way to improve Laura's magical tolerance is to have her embark on the path of cultivation. However, Laura herself does not possess the talent for cultivation. Even though she is the chosen one of this world, blessed with good fortune, without substance, there is no substance—this is an unchangeable fact.
Because there are no cultivators in this world, becoming an immortal or a Buddha is just a legend. Even the female protagonist is just an ordinary person.
Chapter 1. Home and Furnishing
After finishing his treatment, Li Wei said goodbye to Laura and left the infirmary.
When Li Wei returned to the dormitory, he saw Charlotte practicing the harmonica. Charlotte was a girl whose interests leaned towards the arts, and she also had a certain talent in music, knowing how to play several instruments. The harmonica was a new instrument she had recently learned, and compared to the other instruments she was already proficient in, she seemed a little rusty.
Charlotte heard the door open and stopped playing.
Charlotte smiled and said, "You're back. How's that girl?"
Charlotte knew about Laura; Levi had told her. After all, there was no need to hide such a thing. Charlotte already knew that he possessed extraordinary powers, and given Laura's impulsive personality, she would easily expose it to the girls around him later, so he didn't intend to conceal it.
Moreover, after learning about Laura's past, the girls felt sympathy for her and didn't mind Levi's "meddling."
Li Wei took off his sneakers and put them on the shoe rack next to him, saying, "The effect is pretty good. Her condition is more stable than I expected. All we need now is some medication to solve the problem at its root."
Charlotte opened the curtains. Because of the spell she had cast, no one outside the window could see inside, which was why she dared to open the curtains so freely.
The dormitory had been extensively modified by Li Wei using numerous spells. Although it looked much the same as before, the interior was completely different. Li Wei created a "spirit" with basic intelligence to serve as the dormitory's smart core, making it like a fully equipped smart home system. As long as the residents made a request, the "spirit" could smoothly use its magic to cast various spells.
Whether it's cooling or heating, soundproofing or preventing peeping, or any other strange commands, they can all be executed precisely.
Charlotte stretched, and in the glow of the setting sun, her nightgown was slightly see-through, clearly revealing her beautiful curves from Levi's angle.
Charlotte said, "It's good that she can be cured. That child is really pitiful. Compared to what she has been through, what I have been through is nothing."
Charlotte felt great sympathy for Laura. Although Laura had gone through a lot, at least she still had people who cared about her. Even though her mother was gone, she still had her loving father. Although she was an illegitimate child, her father did everything he could to fight for her. No matter the circumstances, she was loved.
Unlike Laura, who was truly alone and had hardly ever experienced sunlight, Laura, who grew up in such an environment, did not wallow in self-pity but instead survived tenaciously with the spirit of a soldier.
Putting herself in Charlotte's shoes, she felt she couldn't do such a thing; she probably wouldn't have been able to endure that kind of brutal training.
Li Wei said, "Charlotte, you don't need to underestimate yourself. Actually, you're quite capable. The feuds between wealthy families are no less intense than military training. You're walking a tightrope. A slight misstep could bring you to your death. If someone else were in your position, it would be difficult for them to survive this long."
Li Wei saw into Charlotte's mind and knew that the girl was getting stuck on her own thoughts, so he used this method to help her regain her confidence.
Charlotte lived in a very oppressive environment. As an illegitimate child, she lived a very humble life to avoid revealing her female identity. Only after leaving Falesse and coming to the academy was she able to smile. In Falesse's old house, she had to be careful even when she saw her nominal mother, fearing that the other woman would cause her trouble.
Of the girls Li Wei encountered in this world, Laura and Charlotte were arguably the two with the most tragic fates. The other girls faced various problems to varying degrees, but none of their problems were as sharp as these two's, or even life-threatening.
Li Wei walked up to Charlotte, put his arm around her, placed one hand on her head, and gently stroked her hair. He said, "Charlotte, you are amazing too, so don't think of yourself as inferior. You are calm, courageous, and charming. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone. You are you, a girl with great inner qualities."
·Requesting flowers·· ······
Charlotte was a little embarrassed, but Levi's warm embrace made her reluctant to push him away. She whispered, "Am I really that amazing?"
Li Wei said, "Isn't this obvious? A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million. Don't you love reading? Every book you've read has deepened your soul."
Li Wei wasn't simply trying to flatter her; he was unusually honest. Charlotte's love of reading gave her a depth of thought far beyond her peers. Conversing with her sometimes felt like talking to a storybook—it was incredibly enjoyable. Few girls could evoke such feelings in Li Wei. He found conversations with Charlotte extremely "pleasurable." She could easily pick up on psychological and literary jokes that other girls couldn't, and even throw them back at him.
.......
Charlotte laughed and said, "I'm not a little girl, there's really no need to comfort me like that. If Laura regains her human emotions, she's the one who needs comfort the most. Levi, you should stay and spend more time with her."
Li Wei sighed inwardly, thinking that Charlotte was a girl with a keen mind. She didn't use her keen observation skills on messy things, but instead used them with kindness and consideration for those around her. Such a girl could be described as a perfect homemaker.
If I had to say, I saw a resemblance between Charlotte and Megumi Kato. Both of them were very sensible, but Charlotte had more of a refined lady's demeanor. She was sensible and considerate, and she was not jealous, which made her look like a proper first wife.
Li Wei has collected quite a few important female characters from the world, and he has appraised all sorts of girls. Some girls are very beautiful, but their minds are not mature enough, and their beauty is only superficial. But some girls, because of their rich knowledge, possess a charm that comes from knowledge in addition to their physical beauty. This unique temperament requires time and the accumulation of knowledge, and not every girl can possess it. Girls who possess this temperament are treasures, and in terms of gacha pulls, they are all SSR-level characters.
Chapter 1. The Seeds of Rebellion
Before you know it, it's week.
After school, Li Wei went back to his dormitory, took a shower, and then went to the station where he had arranged to meet Laura.
The college has a sea train that connects it directly to the outside world. The long sea track provides the college with a relatively stable transportation route to the outside world.
Laura arrived at the station earlier than Levi. By then, she had changed out of her school uniform and was wearing casual clothes. Laura herself had a very good figure, but she was petite and thin, like Izumi no Kotoko. Her front was like a steel plate, with almost no curves.
However, these days, I doubt many people recognize this adorable god. I'm afraid even the leader of the Kasuga guild is largely unknown.
Laura wore a fitted light green tulle dress, her long silver hair was tied into two low pigtails, and her eye mask had been replaced with a long strip of cloth with colorful patterns. Her whole demeanor was much softer, unlike her previous murderous aura.
A black eye patch covered her left eye, making it seem to outsiders that she was blind in that eye. Coupled with her usual serious expression, Laura gave the impression of a professional soldier, and the kind of professional soldier who was in combat mode. She was the kind of soldier that ordinary people would avoid, the kind of soldier who would kick stray dogs in the roadside wherever she went.
After the black eye mask was replaced with a long, colorful cloth, which was placed diagonally to cover the left eye, it not only lost its sharp look but also had a kind of half-hidden beauty, making people want to lift the colorful cloth to see just how amazing the eye underneath was.
Laura now has a vibrant and adorable charm, like the girl next door.
When Laura saw Levi, she ran over excitedly and asked, "How is it? How is it? How's this outfit?"
Levi placed his hand on Laura's head and said, "It looks great. Did you choose it yourself?"
Laura didn't slap Levi's hand away and said, "My roommate picked these out for me. After she found out I was going out, she took me around the shopping street in the academy and picked out a few sets of clothes to change into."
Li Wei knew Laura's roommate, who was also a petite girl. However, even though she was petite, she was still larger than Laura, who was like a toddler. At least her figure was very curvy, unlike Laura, who looked like she was just starting elementary school.
Laura was very dissatisfied with her previous state. She never thought about dressing up before because she couldn't feel any joy in it. Besides, in the oppressive environment of the Black Rabbit Army, even if she dressed up, who would she be showing it to?
But things are different now. The academy isn't as oppressive as the Black Rabbit Squad. Apart from the school rules, she can do whatever she wants without worrying about any restrictions.
Moreover, dressing up beautifully in front of Li Wei gave Laura a sense of pleasure. This outfit was strongly recommended by her roommate, who said it was a "girly" style that would bring out her best features.
Laura, who lacks common sense about daily life, has no knowledge of clothing styles and has no idea what style is. So she just listens to whatever her roommate says and obediently acts as a doll to be dressed up.
Fate is unfair in some ways. Laura possesses a doll-like exquisite face. As an artificial being, the obsessive-compulsive German researchers, even though they are creating biological weapons, still want to achieve perfection and create an existence like a "Valkyrie".
Their ideal Valkyrie not only needs to possess immense strength but also stunning beauty. This is also a requirement of the military, as it makes it easier for them to conduct propaganda; a young and beautiful woman is always more pleasing to the eye than a "Junker lady."
Therefore, during the gene-editing stage, Laura was programmed to be a stunningly beautiful woman. When her body fully matured, she would become the most radiant person in the world. Of course, achieving this effect depended on her actually growing that large, which was extremely difficult, as she could very well die from the brutal training or on the battlefield. Even if she didn't die from these things, she might succumb to organ failure caused by overexertion.
