Prison Island

Chapter 38 Thirty-six Acupoints
In the middle of the night, Qiao Long came back and said that the matter had been settled.

The next morning, Captain 12 was executed at the execution ground in front of everyone.

Before his death, the man kept shouting his injustice, but the Japanese didn't care.

The Japanese were not unaware that Team 12 was already useless. In their eyes, this basically meant that the entire team was a reserve force for the hunting group.

When the next batch of new members arrives, we will directly reorganize the entire 12 teams.

They executed the captain, then counted the public funds of Team 12, checked the accounts, and directly appointed the black man with the highest contribution in Team 12 as the new captain.

Seeing that the Japanese had finished their business and were about to leave, the black captain limped after them.

He said awkwardly: "Um...our team's indulgence..."

"It has been confiscated in advance. You still need 6900 points. You must get them before the th." The Japanese said and left.

The newly appointed black captain was dumbfounded. As soon as he took over, there was a huge mess.

The Atonement Corps settles the indicators of each team in the middle of each month. It is already the 3rd, and there are only twelve days left until the 15th.

The entire team only earned 3100 points in more than half a month, and they were taken away.

When he took over, there wasn't even a chance for a final fight and a life-threatening consumer spending spree. Even including Jin Meimei, there were only fifteen people left in the team.

Each person had to earn 460 indulgence points in the last twelve days, which was almost a desperate situation.

Seeing the black captain's hopeless look, Sule couldn't help but ask Qiao Long: "Is our team 9 also much worse?"

Qiao Long said: "I made 8400 points this month, but if I take into account the savings I kept for myself, it's actually enough."

Suler was surprised: "Our team is so strong? Then it will be enough to just make up for it?"

Qiao Long frowned and said, "Just make do? Every time we send people into the game, we are risking our lives."

Sule remained silent, thinking of the horror of the Silver Hand again.

It was really bad luck to meet this guy in the first game for new players. Normally, the whole team would be wiped out.

Gao Xin asked him: "When do you plan to play games again?"

Qiao Long groaned: "Actually, I don't plan to enter the game again this month. In the past ten days, I have already made two thousand."

Su Le covered his mouth. Wow, Qiao Long earned two thousand by himself and completed one-fifth of the target. No wonder everyone in the team respects him.

"Then can't you use black medicine to become a radiator?" Gao Xin asked.

Qiao Long was surprised and said, "This is only a one in ten survival rate. I have indeed reached the standard a long time ago, but I have never wanted to go."

"I advise you not to have such an idea. Although you can turn things around if you succeed, it is actually more dangerous than playing games. There is no room for maneuver. If you succeed, you succeed. If you fail, you die."

Gao Xin could understand, but he could see that Qiao Long was not someone who would be content with what he had to endure.

He smiled and said, "If you have other hopes, you don't have to go."

Qiao Long glanced at Gao Xin and said, "I should be able to tell you in a few days."

Gao Xin understood that Qiao Long must have an escape plan, but he was only a low-level participant in this plan and there were big guys above him.

If you want to tell Gao Xin about the plan, you must first get approval from the people above you.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother!" Dongfang Yi suddenly came over with Jin Meimei.

Meimei excitedly expressed her gratitude to Gao Xin. She had originally joined Team 12, but after discovering the nature of that team, she became desperate.

As soon as she joined the team, she was taught the rules, and the captain assigned her a shift, requiring her to play games every day.

And they must bring indulgences with them; if they don't, they will be severely punished.

If Gao Xin hadn't dealt with the captain of Team 12, she would have been sent into the game early this morning.

"I finally understand why Liu Xu said that staying in the entertainment group is the best outcome."

"Luckily there's you."

Meimei said bitterly, and then looked at Gao Xin with light in her eyes. She had already learned about what happened last night, and thought to herself that she had made the right decision to invest in the right person.

I was just surprised that Gao Xin used his fists. Could it be that he didn't strengthen his brain? But if it weren't for his fists, Gao Xin wouldn't have been able to grasp the situation so quickly and save her from the fire.

Gao Xin shrugged and said, "You don't think that if you follow me, you won't have to play games, do you?"

"No, but following you, at least there is hope... You don't know, as for Team 12, when I went in and just listened to that guy talking, I knew it was the end of me joining this team." Meimei was still frightened.

Gao Xin frowned and said, "Your life is still tied to Team 12. This team still has a 6900-point hole."

Meimei's face turned pale. 6900 points! Besides, she was not in the same team as Gao Xin. Even if Gao Xin wanted to help, he couldn't help so much.

Dongfang Yi, on the other hand, said calmly: "We can only fight in the medium-level game."

Gao Xin asked, "Have you ever participated in a medium game?"

Dongfang Yi nodded: "I have participated. This team almost failed last month. That guy threw most of the players into the middle game in the last few days."

At this time, the black captain came over and said, "Yes, Dongfang Yi is one of the survivors, and he is the only one who brought out 3000 indulgences."

Everyone was shocked. Three thousand points in a single game! This guy saved the whole team at the last minute.

Qiao Long couldn't bear to listen any more: "I knew your team was outrageous, but I didn't expect it to be this outrageous!"

"If a sales champion like this were here, I would treat him like a god. If he wants me to be the captain, I would let him be the captain too!"

"How could you force him to the point where he wants to die with the captain? I'm really impressed!"

The black captain sneered, "It's all that guy's fault. We have no choice but to listen to him. After all, he has the final say on who enters the game and who doesn't."

Dongfang Yi glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

Gao Xin asked: "What is the medium game like? What are the rewards?"

Dongfang Yi recalled: "For us glass people, medium and low-level games are about the same in terms of danger."

"The increase in difficulty is actually more targeted at radiators, who are the real players."

"For us, it's a matter of life and death anyway. Considering the risk and benefit ratio, I feel that the medium-sized game is more cost-effective."

Everyone looked at him strangely and said, "Is the medium game more cost-effective? There is a difference between risking your life and risking your life. You think so after winning once, right?"

Dongfang Yi shook his head: "The basic survival reward for a medium-level game is one thousand. I also eliminated my opponent in the game and completed a task, so I have three thousand."

Gao Xin asked, "Is there a mechanism to eliminate them? Or did you use a trick to kill them?"

"Mechanical elimination, but I'm not sure if it happens in every game. Let me tell you roughly."

Dongfang Yi said, and began to tell about his medium game.

The whole process is thrilling, and the difficulty is indeed much higher than the entry-level game.

However, there is more room for maneuver because the difficulty is mainly placed on the radiator.

As long as the glass man is smart and cooperative enough, he can still survive, and may even use the mechanism to kill the radiator.

In short, those with weak abilities will feel that the intermediate level is too difficult to reach, and that they will die if they enter. However, those with strong abilities will feel that the intermediate level is easier to survive, which presents a polarized situation.

Of course, the premise is that it must not be an NPC.

According to Dongfang Yi's description, the NPCs in his mid-level game were as miserable as the quest items... they were almost certain to die!
Gao Xin pondered and said, "I roughly understand. The attractions of low-level games are killing and fear, as if a butcher is playing with sheep. Radiators are usually not very dangerous."

"But the mid-level game is different. Although the glass man still has a narrow escape, the radiator can also die easily. In the face of death, it is more equal."

“The risk is high, but the return is even higher. Theoretically, the reward can exceed 10,000 yuan.”

Dongfang Yi sighed: "It is possible to break 10,000, but it is too difficult for a glass man."

"I was also lucky at the beginning. If I dared to be more greedy, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."

Gao Xin knew what was going on, and asked the people around him, "Has anyone of you ever participated in a high-level game?"

Suler was shocked. Oh my goodness, he's already asking about advanced games? Do you think the intermediate level isn't tough enough?
Qiao Long frowned and said, "Boss Gao, the highest level a glass man can participate in is an intermediate level game."

"For players of advanced games, there are requirements for combat power. At least it has to be a tiger."

Gao Xin understood that high-level games were a game between strong people.

At this point, there is no point in matching the glass man.

Qiao Long had previously introduced that the true tiger-level strength is three hundred times the body weight. What does this mean? I'm afraid it can lift a blue whale! In front of such an existence, the glass man is more fragile than glass!

"I'm going to participate in the intermediate game." Gao Xin said determinedly.

Dongfang Yi said calmly: "My team owes 6900 points, I'll go too, do you want to form a team?"

Su Le said hurriedly: "Then I will go too."

Meimei hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and said, "I can go, too."

Gao Xin glanced at the two of them and nodded in agreement.

There's too much to say, but at least he's obedient. If it were someone else, he'd be distracted.

However, Qiao Long narrowed his eyes and said, "Team game? In this case, it will be a team competition."

Gao Xin asked, "Do you have experience?"

Qiao Long nodded: "Team games usually bring in more income than individual players."

"But I've only participated in team battles at low-level games, so I'm not sure about mid-level ones."

"In short, if you form a team, then the other participants will also form a team. If you form a team with the same number of people, then they will also form the same number of people."

Gao Xin glanced at the group and asked, "How many people can form a team at most?" "Five," Qiao Long said, "If you need me, I can make up the number."

Gao Xin nodded: "Then it's just the five of us."

"But take a few days off to get back in shape before going."

"Dongfang Yi, how is your injury?"

Dongfang Yi smiled. He was beaten half to death yesterday and was still covered with bruises today.

The team's public funds were taken away, and he couldn't get treatment, so he could only be treated casually at the medical station. He really needed to recuperate.

However, he said confidently: "It's just a flesh wound. Just apply some flesh-growing ointment. It's not a big deal if it doesn't injure bones or internal organs."

Gao Xin raised the corner of his mouth: "Did you make the skin-growing cream yourself?"

Dongfang Yi answered casually, "Yes. Team 12 often beats up team members. Everyone is injured."

"Although the island lacks medicinal materials, the Silver Tower can be exchanged for anything. The AI's potions are too expensive, so I spent a few indulgences to buy a bunch of Chinese medicinal materials. I made some white medicine and muscle-growing ointment myself, which are very effective for external injuries."

Gao Xin hugged him and said, "Okay, okay, let's go home. Come upstairs with me and I'll talk about the prescription."

So everyone agreed on a time and went their separate ways.

Gao Xin went back upstairs and pulled Dongfang Yi into the small room.

Dongfang Yi was not very strong and could not defeat him at all.

But when Gao Xin dragged him into the bathroom, Dongfang Yi's face changed: "No...what are you going to do?"

"Fuck, you guys in Team 9 are no good! I'd rather go to Team 12 and get beaten up."

Seeing that he was struggling, Gao Xin let go of his hand and said, "What are you doing? I want to see you for acupuncture."

Dongfang Yi shrank back into the corner, staring at him. "What acupuncture? Is this the terminology of your team 9?"

Gao Xin was surprised and said, "I heard that Chinese medicine can treat diseases by stimulating acupuncture points. Don't you know how to do it?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Yi came back to his senses and coughed, "Oh, you mean this needle..."

"Ahem, then why did you drag me to the bathroom?"

Gao Xin pointed at the flower petal water in the bathtub and said, "Because the medicinal bath we prepared ourselves is becoming less and less effective, can you help me prepare a better one?"

Dongfang Yi was stunned. He walked to the front of the bath and looked at the flower petals inside. "Medicinal bath? You call this a medicinal bath?"

"To clear away heat and relieve internal heat?"

He scooped a spoonful with his hand, looked at the blackened petals, and immediately threw them away in disgust.

Gao Xin said: "My brother prescribed it to me mainly to replenish my physical energy consumption and stimulate my body to heal injuries."

"It works well, but I think you can come up with something better."

Dongfang Yi was confused after hearing this, and rushed to the bathtub to splash water, and even tasted it.

Then he said, "Can this really work? Well, fill a bottle and I'll take it back to study it."

He even began to doubt himself, feeling that this was beyond his knowledge of pharmacology.

"What you did... might have some effect at the beginning, but methods like medicinal baths and fumigation are all one-time. Did you use them continuously?" Dongfang Yi said.

Gao Xin nodded: "Yes, there are too few flowers nearby, but what's wrong with a one-time thing?"

He didn't take it seriously. After all, he had soaked it more than once yesterday and it had worked every time, just getting worse and worse.

Dongfang Yi grinned: "What do you mean, so what? It's disposable, so it can't be used twice."

"After you used it, the ingredients inside changed, plus time passed and the flowers rotted."

"That means it becomes another medicine, or even poison!"

Gao Xin suddenly realized: "So that's it, it has become another medicine... I thought there was something wrong with my thinking."

He relies on the art of counterfeiting medicine to amplify and distort the effects of the medicine.

If it was a drinkable medicine, it would be fine, but this was for external use, and it was constantly being affected and changed. As he used it, the concepts he had implanted into himself using dark logic techniques became invalid, because this was no longer "Su Le's unique medicinal bath".

Dongfang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "What does this have to do with your thoughts?"

"Who the hell matched you with this? Didn't they tell you such basic things?"

"Chinese medicine is not that simple. Different people use it, different diseases use it, and even different times use it, and the effects are all different."

Gao Xin smiled and said, "Yes, yes, after my special training is over, the medicinal baths for healing and relieving fatigue will be handed over to you."

Dongfang Yi stroked his chin and thought: "Not for now, I don't have any herbs, I have to go to the Silver Tower to exchange them."

"But if you just want to relieve fatigue, reduce swelling and blood stasis, dredge meridians, and reduce inflammation and detoxify after training, you don't need a medicinal bath."

"I'll give you a wet compress massage and massage some acupuncture points."

Gao Xin was surprised and asked, "Massage? No need for acupuncture?"

Dongfang Yi smiled and said, "How can you use acupuncture for everything? If you just want to stimulate the acupuncture points and dredge the meridians, you can just massage the relevant acupuncture points with your hands."

Gao Xin clapped his hands and cheered: "Good, this is good!"

“I’ll go train first, and you can give me the press when I’m done.

Next, Gao Xin continued his training.

Dongfang Yi ate outside and went to sleep after eating.

But before he had slept for an hour, Gao Xin woke him up: "Okay, come on."

Dongfang Yi woke up sleepily: "No, I just went to bed... Have you finished practicing?"

Gao Xin was seen walking out weakly, leaning against the wall, looking powerless all over.

He curled his lips: "Brother, I didn't realize that you are a little weak."

"You look so strong, but you can't even last an hour?"

Gao Xin smiled and slid down: "It's nothing, we can practice again later, just rest for ten minutes."

Dongfang Yi hurriedly supported him and let him lie on the bed.

"You can rest for ten minutes? Why are you still bruised?"

"Where did this scratch come from? Were you torturing yourself in there?"

Gao Xin casually said: "My training is very intense."

Dongfang Yi shook his head: "Wait a moment."

Having said that, he ran away.

He quickly brought back a bottle of ointment and several rolls of bandages, applied the medicine, and bandaged all the wounds.

For a moment, Gao Xin's hands, feet, waist, abdomen, and chest were all wrapped in white bandages, and he looked like someone who had been training hard for a long time.

Dongfang Yi then went to get a basin of hot water, soaked a towel in it and wrung it dry, then applied medicine to other bruises and covered them with the towel.

At the same time, he gave Gao Xin a skillful massage.

Although Gao Xin looked weak, he still forced himself to stay alert and kept asking him where he was pressing and where he was pushing.

Dongfang Yi could only press it while introducing it to him.

But Gao Xin kept asking about the results. Dongfang Yi thought that he had no foundation, so how could he explain this to him?

So he said patiently: "Don't ask, it's very complicated. I also learned it in elementary school."

Gao Xin continued to ask: "Then teach me, let me recognize the acupuncture points, then I can press them myself, so I won't bother you anymore."

When Dongfang Yi heard him say this, he thought that he really couldn't stay here with him every day.

So he casually said, "Okay, I'll teach you thirty-six super effective acupuncture points. The techniques are simple and can be used by ordinary people."

"It can strengthen the spleen, cleanse the intestines, protect the liver, nourish the stomach, benefit the kidneys, soothe the mind, refresh the brain, activate blood circulation, dredge the meridians, relieve pain, remove blood stasis, and detoxify..."

"Rub it often, press it more often when you have nothing to do, you will get less sick and look younger."

He spoke a lot as if he was reciting a text, with a lot of rhymes in his mouth.

It was said casually, but Gao Xin was shocked!

So many functions? Can it stop bleeding, detoxify, and make you younger?

"Hi! So amazing? Chinese medicine is really awesome!"

"That's it! Master, this is what I want to learn."

Gao Xin was extremely excited.

Dongfang Yi was a little embarrassed: "Ahem, Chinese medicine is definitely awesome, but I'm not a master, I just learned some from my grandfather when I was young."

As he spoke, his eyes dimmed.
