As long as you keep it in your body, the symptoms will persist and manifest at the degree corresponding to the amount you are holding. Thankfully, Earth Chi is one of those with milder symptoms compares to other." Are there ways for use to discharge the excess chi naturally? Like a chi blast from our hands or eyes or something?

B Filial Child probably isn't that used to looking attractive anyway, having been homeless for so long. We can deal with some bald patches and weird looking skin. Don't give up on school though!

A IIIII B I C III You promise to not do anything like this until you are properly trained to handle it. -------------------------- Gained unknown Paired-Condition Hyperactivity: Gain bonus ??? If you fulfill your promise Weakness: Lost !!! if you fail to fulfill your promise --------------------------- “Showing restraint is good.” Doctor Why said approvingly. “I trust the Filial Child to keep to his words.” He gesture you to lie on the table and begin massaging you. “Since you aren’t consuming the Earth Chi inside your body, it would normally takes about three days for this amount of chi to disperse naturally out of your body, but it would be hard for you since your ‘urge’ to focus on making the dough will keep coming up as long those Chi are inside you.” You can hear your bones crackles as he stretches and bends your body, but it doesn’t hurt. “Lucky for you, Earth promotes Metal and is opposed by Plant, which mean treatments related to these two elements will fix you up quickly by drawing the chi out reactively.” “Herbal Remedy is wood element.” He explains as he went to another room and brought back a waterskin flask. “Drink it at your pace.” He said. You pull out the cork on the bottle and a small gust of air squirt out. It’s hard to see the liquid within, but you think it’s black and sizzling like it’s boiling. As if reading your thought, Doctor Why informs you, “It’s cool, drink up.” You took a few gulp of the drink. It’s sweet and acidic. Your tongue felt like it was burned but not the hot or cold kind, and the sensation went away as you swallow the liquid. *BURP* A large gust of gas expelled from your mouth. Doctor Why nods at the reaction and urge you to continue you drink it all. You burped a few more times afterward and feel your chest become much lighter. “Good. That freed your upper organs from the Chi.” He explains while pulling out an one inch long needle. “Lastly, acupuncture is the Metal element treatment that will free the rest of the chi from below.” He lifts up your legs with a reassuring smile, “Now, please stay still while I poke your Gushing Spring Point.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “The spleen and Stomach belongs to the Earth system. The spleen makes blood and chi from food and water. It also regulates dryness and moisture. The spleen meridian open mouth and lips – This affects taste and appetite.” Snow repeats to memorize the content of her homework. It’s the last thing to memorize and she can eat that deliciously divine Seafood Noodle Soup. Another patient walks in- It’s the noodle man! He’s back! Hurray! Praise Noodle! The noodle man asks, “Is the Filial Child inside?” Snow reply, “Yes. Please have a seat. “ and dive back into study mode after the noodle man sat down. She don’t have much time left! If she can’t memorize the final part before they left, then she might not get to eat that noodle for dinner! She can only hope the boy asks more questions and take up more of the doctor’s time. “AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The boy’s terrible scream echo throughout the building. “Wh-what’s going on!?” The noodle man stood up and question Snow in alarm. “It’s alright. Please sit down.” Snow reassured. Another regular day at the clinic, Snow thoughts. “O-ok.” The noodle man sits down hesitantly. “AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” he boy’s terrible scream echo throughout the building once more. “It’s alright. Please sit down.” Snow reassured before the man can even question again. The doctor must be poking the Gushing Spring Point again if the patient yelled twice. ----------------------------------------------------------- Doctor are scary, you thought as you walks out of the room. It makes you shiver at the thoughts of more dreadful treatment for worser symptoms. At least the insurmountable pain has broken your focus for the dough and you feel more clear-minded now. Doctor Why cautions you as you both walk out, “Remember to not do that thing you do and try not to think about making dough except during work.” Snow interrupts Nood as she immediately calls for the doctor’s attention, “Doctor! I have memorized everything!” Doctor Why strokes his beard and questions, “Already? Are you sure you didn’t miss anything?” “None at all, doctor!” She replies enthusiastically. Strokes his beard slower, Doctor Why tests her knowledge, “What are the healing method associate with Fire, Earth, and Water?” Snow replies confidently, “Moxibustion for Fire, Surgery for Earth, and Bodywork for Water!” “Correct.” Doctor Why remarks and impressed. “And what does the Extraordinary Medical Techniques – Closing the Five Gates, do?” “That’s…” Snow stumped and confused by the question. Doctor Why chuckle, “I jest, my dear, that wasn’t on your homework. I am just making sure you are not cheating.” “I don’t need to cheat!” Snow complained. “You never memorized your homework so swiftly before,” Doctor Why commented. “Are you sure you aren’t slacking before?” Snow reply with a poker face, “I’m sure the god of noodle has graced us with a blessing for the possibility of having a Seafood Noodle Soup tonight.” Doctor Why laughs. “Very well.” He turns to Nood. “The Fillial Child will have a full recovery by tomorrow. Now, make us two bowl of Sea Food Noodle Soup as payment.” Nood breathe a sigh of relief at your safety, but sigh again at the annoyance of the payment. He knows better than to argue with the doctor, so he goes into the kitchen. Snow hangs the ‘Temporary Closed’ sign on the door and hops happily into the kitchen. You ended up joining them for dinner and shares a few interesting topics and conversations over the meal. When Nood is ready to leave and take you home, Doctor Why hands you a rolled up parchment with a rope ribbon for your Uncle Liu. Why and Snow waves you farewell and hope you will come back again. You hope not. After you bid farewell to the departing Nood who dropped you at Uncle Liu front door, you look at the rolled up parchment on your hand. Is it another payment request for Uncle Liu? Is it something about you experimenting with dangerous chi? Are you going to be scolded? You...

Peeking at other people’s letter is wrong, in fact, the thought of doing something like this has never crossed your mind. You go back to your home and go straight to your Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu dropped his teacup when he saw your new look. “Dear Buddha! What happened to you!?” He kneed down and holds your face closely to inspect the supernatural change while you explain everything that happened today. He was relieved when you told him the doctor said it will only take a day to fully recover from this Chi imbalance, but he made a worried expression when you mention the doctor is Doctor Why. You urge him to return to his seat and hands him the letter. A servant has already cleaned up the broken teacup and readied a new one on the table. It’s a long silent as Uncle Liu reads the letter. You patiently wait for him to finish, but it seems he’s rereading the letter a few times while considering something. Finally, he looks back up at you as if he has forgotten you were here, and say, “Oh! Filial Child, please go rest in your room for the day.” You ask him what is written in the letter. He strokes his beard to consider and then nod, "I suppose you won't rest well without knowing your own condition." He informs you of the letter's content, "The letter explains your condition and recommends I find you a chi master since you could accidently wanders into other Chi cultivation method again.” He took a few sips of tea before continuing, “I have a few ideas and plans that could get you a master through favors and fortunes, but I will have to send out a few letters to my contacts and wait for their reply to see which of it is fruitful. I will call for you when the time comes.” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The ripple of the body has restored and will remind so as long as the promise is kept. The stone remind a stone, for now. Skill Gain: Crafting (Noodle) +5, Perform (Poetry) +5 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can ask any questions while I work on the Delivery Event.

Working at the delivery agency is quite an interesting experience. As an entry boy who isn’t strong enough to protect the cargo or handle complex logistic, you are tasked with delivery of unimportant letter to the local, catalog the cargo before dusk, and infrequently help out with tending the horses. Most mercenaries who protect the cargo are outsider who stays for at most a few days before traveling to other branches of the agency at another city. Most of them don’t pay much attention to you beside some casual chat of your filial deed, however, they begin treating you with more respect after you risked your life to save a friend from fire, and that virtue is well-respected in this life and death profession. Many hopes for you to join the long delivery trip when you grown up enough to at least be able to protect yourself. They certainly could use more allies that they can trust to watch their back and not stab it. Your deeds of caring for the deceased and the life of the alive makes them trust you more than their short-term partners. A few months into the job, and you learned a few more operational details about the agency: - The agency’s primary clients are merchants who have cargos of merchandise that needs to be shipped safely to another city. They are bandit’s favorite prey after all. Occasionally, some people who wish to travel through a bandit-ridden/dangerous area with their life and valuable would pay a lot to hire the agency’s many talents for any type of danger or geography troubles. You heard of a client who hired an herbalist to help him get through a poisonous swamp. - The logistic planner in the agency handles the planning of travel route to select both the safest route that can meet the client’s deadline. However, this agency mostly chooses the fastest route so it can schedule more jobs within the same time period, which resulted in a somewhat high injury and casualty rate of its employee, but the pay is very good and replacement are plentiful. This agency will take any route to reach its destination. Mountain, Road, Sea, whichever get there faster unless there’s no available talent who know how to navigate those terrain efficiently. You heard of a mountain specialist who was killed during a job and the surviving team member have trouble reaching the destination in time, so the agency horse-rush another mountain specialist to guide them. When it seem that specialist can’t get the delivery on time, the logician reroute/merge a few nearby teams to help out and manage to get the cargo there in time. Delivery is serious business. During your year of working in this job, which aspect of this job did you show interest and focus in? A) Running and delivery letter all over the city B) Talk to mercenary and ask about their story C) Cataloging cargos. Many items are interesting to look at D) Logistic Planning of routes. You enjoy looking at the map and discuss with the logician. E) Talk to the Mountain, Road, and Sea specialist to learn about traveling through those terrains F) Help out the stable guy more often and he might let you ride the horse for their morning walk.

Voting remains open. ------------------------------ A couple weeks after your Chi incident, Uncle Liu calls for you at the main hall. “My dear Filial Child,” he strokes his beard, apparently in a good mood. “I am glad your body is well for the past few weeks. At least you don’t seem to be suffering from further illness of this Chi imbalance. Please have a seat.” He gestures you to sit on a chair close to him, a spare tea cup is prepared for you. This can only mean a long talk, so you begin by inquiring if he has found a master. “Yes, in fact, five replied.” He smiles delightedly. ----------------------------------------- To be continued after delivery job event.
