Chapter 012 Health Index
After buying vegetables and medicine, Chen Jue got on a seven-seater van at the entrance of Panlong Town.
There was no way. His body was severely depleted. Chen Jue felt weak after walking a few steps. He had only experienced such severe anemia once since he was a child.
That was when I was a child and had a bicycle accident and broke my thigh. I had to stay at home to recuperate during that time. In addition, the living conditions in the countryside were poor at the time and I didn’t get enough nutrition, which led to anemia.
Fortunately, Chen Jue has learned martial arts and his physical fitness is much better than that of normal people, so he can still barely hold on and return home.
…
Since it was morning, the minivan waited for almost half an hour before it had enough people in the car, and then it took more than 10 minutes to take Chen Jue back to Chen Village.
After returning home, Chen Jue closed the door and started to boil water. He first made himself three packets of donkey-hide gelatin, and then brewed a pot of ginseng slices.
The middle-aged lady who sold the medicine said that if the anemia is severe, you can take several packets together for a stronger effect.
In addition, after Chen Jue practiced martial arts, his digestive ability far exceeded that of ordinary people, so he no longer had so many concerns and drank three packets of donkey-hide gelatin in one breath.
The hot potion had an extremely sweet taste. As soon as it entered his stomach, Chen Jue felt his whole body getting hot.
I drank a few more sips of water soaked with ginseng slices, and soon the dizziness caused by anemia subsided a lot.
"effective!"
Chen Jue was delighted and hurried to the kitchen to wash the old duck, then added the purchased ingredients, salt, rock sugar and cooking wine and started to make soup.
The old duck soup must be boiled over high heat and then simmered over low heat. The longer it is simmered, the more flavorful it becomes.
Seeing the soup in the casserole boiling , Chen Jue turned on a low fire and let it boil on its own. He then ran to the living room to continue drinking the pot of ginseng slice water.
After gulping down a pot of hot water, he felt his stomach was bloated. But he felt that there was no time to waste, so Chen Jue began to practice the twelve moves of the Yi Jin Jing in the living room.
He persisted in this way for more than two hours, during which he went to the toilet several times and brewed another pot of ginseng slices. Chen Jue felt that the anemia deficiency began to subside faster.
At noon I finished all the cooked duck soup, ate a whole duck, went upstairs and lay down for a long sleep.
It was not until he woke up slowly around five in the afternoon that Chen Jue felt relaxed all over, and the feeling of physical weakness completely disappeared.
And the attribute panel had unexpected changes during the time he was sleeping and recovering:
Name: Chen Jue
Age: 27
Health index: 89%
Strength: 0.92
Agility: 0.84
Intelligence: 1.22
Constitution: 1.32
Skills Mastered: [Ship Fist Lv1 (69/200)] [Twelve Forms of Yi Jin Jing Lv0 (8/100)] [Eight Immortals Posture Lv1 (12/200)]
Allocable free attribute points: 0
Basically no changes were found in various attributes, except that the physical fitness unexpectedly increased by 0.02 after taking the tonic and old duck soup.
I guess it was the effect of the medicine that made up for the loss caused by last night's practice, which led to the improvement of my physical condition.
As for the newly emerged [Health Index], Chen Jue also figured out its function at the first opportunity.
This is a value that shows whether the person's body is in a healthy state. If it is below 70%, fatigue may easily occur. Once it is below 60%, it means that the person is in an abnormal state such as injury.
The health index of a normal adult male is generally around 80%. If it is above 80%, it means that the person is very healthy.
The factors that make up the health index are relatively complex. To put it simply, the higher the value, the healthier Chen Jue is, and the lower the value, the more abnormal he is.
"It should be because of the physical deficiency this time that the attribute panel automatically added new functions."
"It's just like patching and updating game versions. After 1.0, there will definitely be 2.0, 3.0, and other version iterations." Chen Jue took a look at the attribute panel and felt that his idea should be correct.
After waking up, Chen Jue once again regained the spirit of the previous few days. He opened his mobile phone and saw that there were several missed calls.
I must have slept too deeply in the afternoon and didn’t answer the call.
After calling back and asking, I found out that it was the worker who came to install the TV.
However, it was already past 5 p.m. and the installation master had already gone off work. Chen Jue had no choice but to apologize a few times and ask the other party to come again tomorrow morning.
In addition, there were several express delivery text messages, showing that the fitness equipment, clothes, etc. he had purchased before had been delivered to the store at the entrance of the village one after another.
Express logistics is well developed nowadays. Even if you are in the countryside, the things Chen Jue bought two days ago can basically be delivered within 48 hours.
After all, he had a habit when placing an order, always checking the "shipping within the province" option and choosing SF Express. Spending a little more money can save a lot of waiting time.
After getting up and turning on the rice cooker, Chen Jue went out and went to the store at the entrance of the village to bring back all the express deliveries he had received.
Seeing that Chen Jue planned to live in the village for a long time, the owner of the convenience store, Chen Aqiang, asked a few more questions.
The ancestral hall culture is quite popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The whole village has the same surname, and the descendants of one ancestor may still be one family for several generations.
Chen Jue was somewhat related to the shop owner, and he had to call him Uncle Qiang when they met. He chatted with him for a few more words, and he would have to come here often to pick up parcels and buy things, so he couldn't lose face.
After learning that Chen Jue had quit his job and returned to the countryside to settle down, the convenience store owner Chen Aqiang said a few words of pity.
In Chen Aqiang's opinion, for a college student who is young and strong and does not go to the city to work hard, it is simply a waste of his best years.
However, Chen Jue's pursuit is different. After experiencing the joy of practicing martial arts, he has completely forgotten the idea of making money to support his family and continuing the family line.
Anyway, he is the only one left in his family, with no old or young. As for the task of branching out and carrying on the family line, there are still several cousins around, so the ancestral incense will not be cut off.
The money he earned in Hangzhou was enough for him to live for several years, so he made up his mind to make practicing martial arts his first priority.
This is the difference in vision and pursuit. Chen Jue will not reveal too many of his secrets to outsiders.
…
There were a lot of express deliveries, so I ran back and forth several times before I took all the deliveries home. After unpacking them, I found several huge dumbbells on the floor.
There is also a sit-up rack, and a telescoping monkey bar that can be propped up against the wall.
As for the fishing rod and spare clothes, Chen Jue took them upstairs and put them away temporarily.
I went downstairs to cook dinner. There was still some old duck soup left from lunch, so I heated it up and ate it. By the way, I also made myself a pot of ginseng slice tea.
This is a good thing for replenishing qi and blood. Chen Jue plans to make a pot of it and drink it every morning and evening.
After all, as the great forum expert said, practicing martial arts requires both external and internal training, and you cannot rely solely on fresh ingredients to replenish energy.
Besides, I can no longer drink the donkey-hide gelatin powder. Because my health index has reached 89% and my anemia symptoms have disappeared, it would be a waste of the medicine to drink it.
Unless he encounters a similar situation of deficiency anemia again, Chen will never easily try to take this quick-acting Chinese patent medicine.
As for the tonic soup bought online, Chen Jue was looking forward to it.
This ancient recipe, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, must have unexpected nourishing effects, just like making tea with ginseng slices.
