Chapter 407 Bones, Blood, and Flesh
Chapter 407 Bones, Blood, and Flesh
After saying goodbye to Zhou Meili, Lin Zhenxi did not call for the hovercraft immediately, but walked slowly along the trail along the Xinlan River towards the "company".
They all ate too much, so they needed to move around to promote gastrointestinal motility and speed up the digestion of food.
There are many fishermen on the banks of the Xinlan River, but very few young people. Lin Zhenxi and Yan Qing seem a bit out of place here, not to mention that they are dressed so formally, which makes them stand out among a group of unkempt middle-aged and elderly fishermen.
Although Xinlan City is a newly developed city, its highly developed technological environment is world-renowned. Countless people flow in daily, seeking medical care, education, work, or even to realize their dreams. Unlike young people from humble backgrounds struggling to make ends meet, many of these newcomers are already wealthy and come to Xinlan City solely to enjoy life. Most of the people currently fishing here are such individuals.
Because young people are still busy working (laughs)
After all, the work pressure in New Blue City is actually quite high. But then again, in today's world, who doesn't live under pressure? Even these now-rich fishermen, who can know how much sweat and effort they put into their work when they were young.
Isn’t the reason we work hard now so that we don’t have to work so hard in the future?
For the anglers, the fishing rods in their hands and the floats floating on the water are much more tempting than the beauties walking by them. Even if Yan Qing sprayed herself with perfume with pheromone effects, it would not have any effect because the contact time was only a moment. There was no need for Lin Zhenxi to cast a breath-blocking spell on Yan Qing like he did in the hotel to prevent her perfume from affecting others.
Yan Qing had forgotten about the perfume because of the forgetfulness spell, but Lin Zhenxi hadn't. Not only that, she had to pretend it hadn't happened at all, quietly handling the matter to avoid Yan Qing embarrassingly digging out the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with her toes.
But what she didn't know was that Yan Qing had actually already known through surveillance what stupid things she had done at the instigation of Black Cat, and she was just pretending not to know.
Two clumsy actors trying hard to maintain their friendship which is almost deteriorating.
After walking less than three kilometers along the riverbank, Lin Zhenxi began to feel discomfort in his feet. In contrast, Yan Qing looked relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
So Lin Zhenxi was sure that the problem was with her shoes. If she was not used to wearing high heels, it would be impossible for her to be unable to walk such a short distance with the endurance she had trained regularly.
So Lin Zhenxi found a bench to rest, sat down and took off her high-heeled round-toed shoes that she was not used to wearing. Seeing that there was no one around, she quietly opened the space cube, took out the sneakers she usually wore, and put the high heels back.
After Lin Zhenxi changed her shoes, she looked up and saw Yan Qing staring at her, or to be more precise, at her feet. She leaned back tactically and became alert.
"Yan Miao, what do you want to do to me again?"
"Ah, nothing much. I just noticed that you really don't have any decorations on you, Maki, nya."
As she spoke, Yan Qing stretched her feet under Lin Zhenxi's eyes, moved her toes deftly, and showed Lin Zhenxi the shiny manicure on her toenails.
"Because I have to operate the equipment, my hands are not convenient for manicures, but it's okay for my feet. Don't you think they are beautiful, meow?"
Lin Zhenxi lowered her eyes and looked at the feet that Yan Qing placed in front of her. Although she did not deny that the nail polish on Yan Qing's toenails was beautiful, but you just put your feet in front of me, isn't it a bit offensive to me?
Not everyone's XP is useless!
"Forget it, it's not troublesome enough. What's more, I usually wear sneakers and I can't even see the manicure on my feet. Why bother?" Lin Zhenxi rolled her eyes and sentenced this meaningless and time-wasting dress to death from a practical point of view.
But it was obvious that Yan Qing was not someone who gave up so easily. She thought that Lin Zhenxi really didn't care about her personal image. She had a good figure and good looks, but she was too lazy to take care of herself. She went out with no makeup every day, making herself look like a high school girl who had to get up early every day to attend morning classes and had no time to take care of herself.
Originally, Lin Zhenxi scoffed at Yan Qing's argument that "Girls must learn how to put on makeup!", but Yan Qing's words hit her sore spot, which was that she looked like a high school student.
This was precisely what Lin Zhenxi cared about most. Her physical aging process had already ended the moment she signed the correspondent contract with the "company," and at that time, Lin Zhenxi had just finished the college entrance examination and was preparing to choose a university. In other words, she was in the final stages of high school, still a high school student.
But Lin Zhenxi has been working for thirteen years now. She feels like she's already a member of society, a mature adult who can stand on her own two feet. The last thing she wants to hear is people saying she looks too young, like a high school student.
So she started wearing shirts and trousers, dressing herself like a white-collar worker, and refused all kinds of clothes that were cute but cumbersome and looked childish, just hoping to make herself look more mature than she looked.
Now Yan Qing told her that if she learned how to put on makeup well and could skillfully use various cosmetics, she would no longer be looked down upon because of her youthful face. To be honest, she was tempted.
Seeing Lin Zhenxi's expression soften, Yan Qing perked up immediately. Her passion for transforming her best friend was now stronger than ever. If Lin Zhenxi could discover her true charm under her guidance, she would probably feel even more accomplished than if she had reached a higher level herself.
Moreover, Yan Qing is incredibly skilled in the art of makeup. Her primary profession is a doctor and pharmacist, and her second is a solo influencer. To succeed as an influencer, creativity is crucial, and a polished image is essential. The artistry of the camera and imagery is a welcome addition, but can sometimes be the final word. Fortunately, she's now proficient in all of these areas, well-equipped to teach others.
I've decided. Starting today, I'll teach Lin Zhenxi how to use all the dozens of cosmetics she uses. Even if she can't reach the level of a makeup expert, she'll at least be above average.
Looking at Yan Qing, whose fighting spirit was inexplicably burning, Lin Zhenxi shuddered and began to feel that his future might not be easy.
But isn't this just makeup? You apply it on your face every day according to a fixed routine. What's the big deal? Lin Zhenxi looked so confident, like an old general on the stage with flags stuck behind him.
When Lin Zhenxi changed into sneakers, the height difference between her and Yan Qing narrowed considerably, and they looked harmonious walking side by side. However, there's no comparison between sneakers and high heels in terms of comfort. Even Yan Qing, who walks around in high heels every day, still felt her feet sore after being led by Lin Zhenxi for a few kilometers. She felt like she was feeling the same way before Lin Zhenxi changed her shoes.
Since the food was almost digested, Lin Zhenxi opened the ride-hailing app and called a hover car. She first sent Yan Qing, who could not walk anymore, home, and then she went home directly.
Huh? It's not time to get off work yet? It's almost 4:30 now. Even if I go to work, I'll be considered late. I might as well skip it. It's just half a day off later. Lin Zhenxi has so much leave now that she doesn't even know how many days she has. When she has to use it, she doesn't feel bad.
After returning home, Lin Zhenxi threw all the clothes she had worn today, including her panties, into the washing machine. Then, she sat down in front of the table relaxed and unrestrained, and began to plan the specific measures for the big pot body training.
Although Lin Zhenxi made it sound easy, obtaining a body that was compatible with the soul through alchemy was no easy task. It required not only a high level of potion skills but also a host of rare magical materials. Lin Zhenxi wasn't even sure if she could find all those materials in the main world; she might even have to travel to the wizard's other world.
But before that, Lin Zhenxi wanted to try out a truth that Patchouli teacher took more than half a year to make her fully understand, that is, "magic is omnipotent."
With enough magical power, one can achieve miracles, making the impossible possible and bringing into existence things that never existed. While the past is set in stone and cannot be altered, the present can be transformed and the future can be influenced. Perhaps by praying to the magical power, Lin Zhenxi can obtain magical materials that originally existed only in the wizarding world.
This should be considered a very advanced application of magic. Although it has not reached the level of creating something out of nothing or making anything happen with a clap of hands, changing the original properties of objects and giving them mysteries that do not belong to them is something that Lin Zhenxi would never have dared to even think about before.
But now, she wants to give it a try, great force can make miracles happen!
Of course, even if you want to achieve miracles with sheer force, you still need to have some skills. Rather, it's the technique that's the decisive factor. As for that final "heavy force," even a child can do it if the conditions are right.
And now, before she can be a willful child, she has to do the work that only adults can do.
So, according to the procedure, what materials does she need?
The deceased's own bones, that's no problem, they're ready-made.
The flesh of the enemy... this is a bit difficult. How about using cockroaches instead? No girl would like cockroaches.
Well, forget it. Otherwise, when she is resurrected and finds out that the flesh on her body is made of cockroaches, she will probably be so upset that she will slit her own throat.
Let's put that aside for now and move on to the next item. Blood of a blood relative? That shouldn't be difficult, as long as she's not an orphan.
Then there are the pure magic materials: bone grass, mermaid tears, phoenix ashes, barnacle glue, shell powder, coral polyps, magic spring...
Ah, there are so many. What should I do if I don’t want to deal with them anymore?
