Chapter 603: Comic Con Consultation
With the development of the times and the changing of the old guard, many things that sound very old-fashioned, such as 'Traditional Chinese Medicine,' have also begun to follow trends and intertwine with some secondary dimensions that were originally thought to be completely unrelated.
For example, a TCM streamer that Cheng Tian followed had very low viewership for his earlier videos explaining acupuncture points and illnesses on the website.
However, one day, when this TCM doctor invited a young female cosplayer to appear in the video with him and used her as a model to demonstrate acupressure techniques on the hands, legs, and feet, the viewership and follower count immediately skyrocketed.
Why the viewership soared and why the followers surged are, in fact, self-evident.
But you cannot deny that even if everyone went there purely out of LSP (lewd, perverted) tendencies, they still learned a little relevant knowledge, and the originally quite old-fashioned circle thus expanded its reach.
Similarly, TCM doctors, who might be university students or have been working for many years, have also begun to frequently appear at various exhibitions in the form of 'free clinics' in the past two years.
To be fair, people who like the secondary dimension and enjoy playing games are indeed high-risk groups for various diseases, especially the 'younger onset' of some geriatric diseases.
Their routines are generally irregular, and they always compensate by staying up late, feeling like they've been so tired during the day that if they don't play on their phone or game console at night, they'd be letting themselves down.
Their diet also has significant problems; most use takeout instead of home-cooked meals. While not every takeout meal is problematic, heavy oil and salt are inevitable, and excessive intake of fats and salts puts more stress on the body's kidneys and other organs than imagined.
Exercise is even less likely; for many, running a hundred meters exhausts a week's worth of exercise, and visiting a comic con for a stroll basically completes a whole year's worth of exercise.
Of course, this is not to blame young people; everyone lives a hard and exhausting life, with very little personal time. Many unhealthy behaviors are almost compensatory and retaliatory; indulging a little is understandable.
And this is the main reason why TCM doctors offering free clinics appear at comic cons.
Doctors can obtain a large number of medical subjects here for free, thereby gaining a large amount of data. Not only do they accumulate personal diagnostic experience, but it can also potentially be used for writing papers.
Patients can also receive some advice from doctors. If they listen, their health might improve; if they don't, that's their choice.
However, unlike TCM doctors at other exhibitions who still wear white coats, one of the older brothers at this booth directly and very congenially cosplayed 'Yagokoro Eirin' from Touhou Project, even hanging a 'Eientei' sign on the booth. He was clearly an old Touhou fan... If he offers medicine, should I take it or not?
Cheng Tian, with these peculiar thoughts, naturally joined the fun and lined up.
China's consultation speed is unparalleled globally; there's no need to apply and wait for half a year. Just by feeling the pulse and looking at the tongue coating, one can arrive at a fairly accurate conclusion.
"Oh? An old SNK fan~"
The Eirin older brother, who was both a TCM doctor and an old gamer, smiled at Cheng Tian, then motioned for him to expose his wrist.
He placed his fingers on Cheng Tian's pulse, and after a few seconds, his expression became serious. He tilted his head as if he had seen some rare species, making Cheng Tian's smile disappear.
"Hey! Come here! Hurry up!"
The older brother released Cheng Tian's wrist and directly called over several colleagues from the other side, then immediately said something that made Cheng Tian breathe a sigh of relief.
"Look! What's firepower? This is firepower!"
A colleague followed the Eirin older brother's words and took Cheng Tian's pulse, quickly revealing an astonished expression.
"How is it? Do you feel like the pulse is pushing against your fingertip?"
"Your qi and blood are too vigorous. Are you an athlete?"
The TCM colleague looked very curious, as if a pulse this vigorous was something he had never felt in all his years in the profession.
But before Cheng Tian could answer, a female TCM doctor on the other side couldn't help but exclaim.
"Come quickly! This pulse is amazing! I've never seen one so healthy!"
The older sister responsible for Bazett's pulse diagnosis's voice cracked on the spot.
The Eirin older brother felt Bazett's pulse, then his gaze moved back and forth between Cheng Tian and Bazett.
"A couple?"
Cheng Tian and Bazett nodded.
"Essence and blood share the same source; desires must not be indulged... I originally wanted to say that, but given your situation, I feel you might need to appropriately increase the frequency. Your qi and blood seem a bit too vigorous."
The Eirin older brother pretended to cough twice, very seriously.
"Ahem~ Let's leave it at that~ It's hard to imagine meeting two such healthy individuals here."
The older brother gave Cheng Tian a look that all men understand, and then saw Cheng Tian visibly start to sweat profusely.
Even wearing such thick, enveloping battle attire hadn't made Cheng Tian sweat, but this mere suggestion made him sweat... because this older brother had no idea what kind of devilish suggestion he had just made!
Eileen's side was actually fine; her slender arms and legs were easy to handle, and her resistance could be suppressed.
However, Bazett... she was a physical monster whose strength attribute had broken through the extreme value, and whose life level had undergone a leap!
Under normal circumstances, breaking through the extreme value of strength means surpassing conventional limits in terms of control over strength. Theoretically, Bazett could seamlessly switch between picking up tofu with chopsticks without breaking it and punching through a city wall. However, this doesn't mean she has absolutely no possibility of losing control.
The most representative example of this is precisely the situation the Eirin older brother mentioned.
It's important to know that the furniture in Cheng Tian's private space had all been replaced from conventional materials to high-strength alloys, precisely to deal with certain sudden situations!
It was also during that time that Cheng Tian personally experienced the profoundness and solidity of an old industrial base.
It is well known what terrible consequences will ensue when a unit with only 26 points of strength attempts to resist a unit with 60 or more points of strength in a ground combat technique judgment!
One can only say that the opponent is indeed a being from the FATE world. To contend with such a heavy industrial system, one must first become strong oneself!
Of course, Bazett doesn't lose control every single time, but the problem is that the probability is not zero. In other words, increasing the frequency is equivalent to increasing Cheng Tian's average probability of encountering risks... Cheng Tian, whose mechanic's license hadn't come down yet, was indeed having a hard time.
But when Cheng Tian subconsciously turned his head, he saw Bazett's small expression, a mix of slight worry and eagerness.
Thud!
Cheng Tian slammed his head on the TCM older brother's consultation desk, swallowing back his words about "we'd better take it easy."
Never before had Cheng Tian felt such a strong desire and need to improve his own strength attribute.
