Chapter 2 The End of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the Technician
What is this? A system??
While Li Yi was in a daze, a message came to his mind.
It turns out that this traditional Chinese medicine system can obtain a satisfaction value by treating patients each time.
Satisfaction points can be used to extract experience books for various traditional Chinese medicine skills and upgrade skill levels.
"Wait a minute! I've been interning at the Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital for the past few days and have treated patients, so why hasn't the system been activated?"
Could it be that I possess some kind of innate massage physique?
As Li Yi was wondering, a sudden attribute panel appeared in his field of vision.
[Host: Li Yi]
[Diagnosis: LV1 (98/300)]
[Recipe: LV1 (75/300)]
【Massage: LV1 (189/300)】
[Acupuncture: LV1 (45/300)]
Cupping: LV1 (108/300)
[Gua Sha: LV1 (98/300)]
[Guide: LV1 (16/300)]
Current satisfaction level: 100
The information on the entire panel is clear at a glance.
Li Yi never expected that after four years of hard work studying traditional Chinese medicine, all his skills were still only at level 1.
That's really bad!
With such limited skills, it would be quite an achievement if they could even avoid causing someone's death, let alone cure the illness and satisfy the patient.
Just as Wang Tao was starting to feel some relief in her neck, she noticed that the hands on her shoulders had stopped.
"Hey? Xiao Li, why did you stop? Keep going!"
Suddenly bound to a system, Li Yi was both surprised and delighted, so he subconsciously forgot about the massage.
He only came to his senses after hearing Wang Tao's words.
It's not appropriate to draw a prize in front of outsiders right now.
However, you can also take this opportunity to increase your satisfaction rating.
"...Sister Wang, I've almost finished pressing the Fengchi and Jianjing acupoints. Hold out your hand, and I'll press the Hegu and Houxi acupoints for you."
Seeing Li Yi turn and walk towards her, Wang Tao immediately became wary. "Kid, my neck hurts. Why are you massaging my neck? You're not trying to take advantage of me, are you?"
"Sister Wang, what nonsense are you talking about? All the acupoints on the human body are connected. Massaging the Hegu and Houxi acupoints on the hands can not only promote blood circulation but also relieve the symptoms of a stiff neck."
Seeing that Li Luo's explanation was logical and that the massage had indeed relieved many of her symptoms, Wang Tao began to believe him.
"Okay, go ahead and press it."
Wang Tao's hands looked as delicate as jade, her fingers were as white as scallions, and they felt warm and smooth to the touch.
For some enthusiasts, these hands alone could keep them entertained for two and a half years.
Li Yi was focused entirely on the system, so he didn't notice how alluring the landlady's hands were.
The Hegu acupoint is located between the first and second metacarpal bones on the back of the hand, at the midpoint of the radial side of the second metacarpal bone.
Houxi acupoint is located on the ulnar side of the back of the hand, in the depression between the base of the fifth metacarpal bone and the triquetrum.
After locating the acupoints, Li Yi began to massage them attentively.
As he massaged her, Wang Tao felt a little sore at first, but soon noticed that her neck was becoming more and more relaxed.
"Huh? It seems like pressing the acupoints on my hands is more effective than before!"
[Ding! Current patient satisfaction score +200!]
Hearing the notification in his mind, Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he explained earnestly:
"Sister Wang, both Hegu and Houxi acupoints have the effect of clearing the meridians and relieving pain, especially for stiff neck caused by neck pain, which is why you feel this way."
However, massage can only temporarily relieve your symptoms. After you get home, remember to apply a hot towel two to three times a day for about ten minutes each time.
In addition, pay attention to keeping your neck warm and do some stretching exercises regularly.
[Ding! Current patient satisfaction score +200!]
Li Yi was just giving a few casual medical instructions out of professional habit, but unexpectedly, he gained another two hundred satisfaction points.
So he got even more excited.
"Sister Wang, you have a stiff neck, your back must hurt too. Let me massage your Tianzong acupoint!"
"Hey, Xiao Li, no need to bother, I feel pretty much done..."
Wang Tao's head was throbbing so badly it felt like it was going to explode, so she didn't think much of it.
After a simple massage from Li Yi, she felt much more relaxed.
Afterwards, she suddenly realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate for a man to press and rub her like that.
However, after realizing how bad he was, Li Yi wasn't about to give up the opportunity to improve his satisfaction rating.
"Don't mention it, Sister Wang. You always take such good care of me, it's only right that I give you a massage."
"..." Before Wang Tao could stop it, she felt a pair of large hands on her back.
Fortunately, the Tianzong acupoint is not a sensitive area, and Li Yi only wanted to massage the area and did not do anything out of line.
After feeling the soreness in her back, Wang Tao stopped saying anything and let the other person massage her.
[Ding! Current patient satisfaction score +200!]
A dozen minutes later, after reaping another wave of satisfaction points, Li Yi finally stopped.
"Sister Wang, I've pressed all the acupoints for your stiff neck. Is there anywhere else that's bothering you? Let me press those too."
"Hey, you've got yourself hooked on this, huh!"
Wang Tao knew nothing about the system. Seeing Li Yi's eager face, she assumed he was doing this because of the rent. "Alright, stop bothering me. I'll give you another month's grace on the rent."
Li Yi originally intended to curry favor with the landlord through a massage, but unexpectedly, the rent issue was resolved before he even had to ask.
"That's great! I knew it, Sister Wang, you're the best landlord in the world."
"Tch! Don't try to flatter me, I don't fall for that."
Wang Tao said no, but a smile appeared on her face. "Little Li, I think your massage skills are quite good, so your medical skills must be pretty good too. How come you can't find a job?"
Previously, Li Yi would have been quite confident in his medical skills, but now he felt somewhat ashamed.
"Sister Wang, traditional Chinese medicine is not that simple. My skills are nothing special. In addition, I accidentally offended someone during my internship a while ago, so it's hard for me to find a job now."
"Oh? How did you offend someone? Tell me?"
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that a leader's daughter has taken a liking to me and insists on being with me, but I'm not interested in that right now."
Li Yi was too embarrassed to say that Liu Yuxiang was too imposing and that he really didn't like her.
Wang Tao was taken aback when she heard this, and looked at him with some disbelief.
This kid doesn't take shortcuts even when they have them; he's really principled.
Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly said, "Xiao Li, let me find you a job."
"What kind of job?"
"I run a club on Jiangbei Road and I happen to be short of technicians. Your TCM massage skills are so good, why don't you come work for me?"
"What? You want me to be a technician?"
Li Yi was taken aback upon hearing this.
"What's wrong with being a technician? Traditional Chinese medicine includes massage, so it's a relevant major."
Wang Tao owns several rental buildings and more than a dozen shops, earning a large sum of money from rent every month.
Although they weren't extremely wealthy, they weren't short of money either.
However, anything even remotely related to Traditional Chinese Medicine requires professional knowledge and extensive experience.
The young female technicians who do foot massages at the club only know a little bit about the basics.
After experiencing Li Yi's technique, she gained a new understanding of traditional Chinese massage.
In addition, after listening to Li Yi's story, Wang Tao felt that he was a good person, so she decided to help him.
"What a perfect match for my major!"
Li Yi never imagined that with the times having developed to this point, the ultimate goal of traditional Chinese medicine would be to become a technician.
However, upon closer examination...
Even with the system now, it's incredibly difficult to gain satisfaction points by treating patients using my current abilities.
Instead of doing that, you might as well become a technician, first gain a lot of satisfaction points through massage, and then improve all your skills.
Once I become a master of traditional Chinese medicine, will I still be afraid of not finding a job?
"Hey! Are you going to do it or not?"
Seeing that Li Yi had been thinking for a long time without saying anything, Wang Tao became a little impatient. "If you don't want to, then forget it."
"Who says I don't want to? Sister Wang, I'll do it!"
