I Just Want to Pierce Something
A Desperate Gamble
The Da Huan Dan couldn’t be used.
Li Qingran was dying.
The only solution?
Contact customer support.
Chen Huaian immediately used his free daily deduction to find an answer.
“How do I save Li Qingran?”
The Cultivation World Trembles Again
BOOM!
The Cangyun Realm trembled.
Old monsters in secluded cultivation snapped awake.
“Again?! Who keeps deducing the secrets of heaven?!”
“Could it be the Ancestor of An Ci Nian Zhai?”
“Avoid! If they sense the Demon Sect’s presence, it could ruin our plans!”
While Cangyun Realm’s great powers panicked—
A new message appeared before Chen Huaian.
Two Healing Methods
[You can heal Li Qingran through two methods:]
- Transmitting power and regulating breath—recovers 30% of injuries.
2. Golden needle acupuncture—completely heals all injuries except for dantian and spiritual roots.]
[The ‘Electronic Girlfriend’ store has captured a ray of heaven’s secrets for you! For only 9998¥, you can permanently unlock the lost skill: ‘Golden Needle Acupuncture’!]
Chen Huaian: “…”
The store was literally extorting him.
9998¥ for a single skill?!
And even after purchasing, the golden needles would cost extra?!
“Is this game even treating players like humans?!”
But—
He looked at Li Qingran, dying in a pool of blood.
For some reason, he thought of his parents.
Even though they weren’t rich, they gave him everything they could.
And now—
He understood.
“Recharge!!!”
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the lost skill: ‘Golden Needle Acupuncture.’]
[Technique: Liuyun Hand <Activated>]
[Technique: Fengchun Needle Technique Lv1 <Activated>]
[Golden needle consumables – 64 special silver needles (640¥). Please recharge.]
Chen Huaian: “You greedy bastards!”
[Please recharge.]
“Fine! Take my damn money!”
With a bleeding heart, he spent another 640¥.
Time to Heal…?
[Please undress Li Qingran.]
Chen Huaian: “???”
Wait—
Finally?!
No, no, now’s not the time!
He shook his head, suppressing impure thoughts.
Saving lives is more important!
Meanwhile, in Reality…
A siren wailed.
An ambulance pulled up.
Doctors rushed over.
“Who needs medical attention?!”
Zhang Rui: “Him! This guy broke his leg climbing Mount Lu!”
The doctor turned and saw Chen Huaian—completely absorbed in his phone.
The young man wasn’t crying in pain.
Wasn’t clutching his broken leg.
He was just… staring at his phone like his life depended on it.
The doctor’s eyebrows twitched.
“…Is this Mandarin? How do ‘bone cancer’ and ‘fractured leg from mountain climbing’ go together?!”
Still, he checked the leg.
Pulled up the pant leg.
And his expression changed instantly.
“Get the stretcher! Now!”
The leg was a mess.
Swollen. Deformed. Bruised.
The subcutaneous lumps were clearly osteosarcoma.
The doctor felt a migraine coming.
“Kid, your leg might not be salvageable.”
But—
“Why the hell are you still playing on your phone?!”
Chen Huaian’s Divine Focus
Even as the nurses lifted him onto the stretcher,
He clutched his phone.
His eyes gleamed with determination.
From Zhang Rui’s perspective, the screen was black.
“Is this guy mentally ill?”
As the ambulance sped away,
Zhang Rui sighed.
And plugged Chen Huaian’s borrowed power bank back into a charging pole.
A strange feeling gnawed at him.
“Did I just argue with a mentally ill terminal cancer patient…?”
He raised his hand—
And slapped himself.
“I deserve to die.”
The Life-Saving Acupuncture
Inside the ambulance, two nurses eyed Chen Huaian.
He lay on the stretcher, tapping frantically at his phone.
The screen was completely black.
One of the nurses, irritated, waved a hand in front of his face.
“Sir, the doctor is speaking to you!”
Chen Huaian dodged the hand.
Without looking up, he muttered—
“Sorry, I’m busy. Wait a moment.”
The doctor: “…”
This cancer patient was… surprisingly polite.
Game View: Li Qingran’s Body
Chen Huaian was deep in focus.
Li Qingran was almost naked.
To avoid embarrassment, he pressed the phone screen against his face.
He wasn’t thinking anything improper.
Because—
- Her body was covered in wounds.
2. The acupuncture map blocked private areas.
3. He was sweating bullets trying to keep up with the prompts.
The S-ranked rhythm game of his nightmares had returned.
Each lit acupuncture point demanded a precise strike.
Too fast.
Too complex.
He had to focus entirely.
The doctor whispered to the nurse.
“Get the psych ward ready. Call Dr. Wu.”
Success!
The final golden needle pierced into place.
A stream of clear energy surged through Li Qingran’s body.
Her bleeding stopped.
Her flesh regenerated.
The deep wounds closed completely—
Leaving her unscathed.
Final Touch
[Grind the Immortal-grade Da Huan Dan into powder and apply it to the wounds.]
A stone mill appeared.
Chen Huaian ground the pill.
The medicinal powder sprinkled over Li Qingran’s body.
Her injuries vanished.
It worked.
Chen Huaian let out a deep sigh.
She was safe.
But…
There was one last thing left to do.
Battery: 1%
Just as he prepared to appreciate Li Qingran’s perfectly healed body—
[Mobile phone battery is low.]
BLACK SCREEN.
Chen Huaian: “NO!!!”
The power bank?!
Wait—
He was no longer in the mountains.
“…When did I get to a hospital?”
An old voice grumbled.
“Shut up, kid. Let an old man sleep.”
Chen Huaian turned his head.
A bandaged old man lay in the hospital bed beside him.
His eyes drifted to the metal cart beside the bed.
His fingers twitched.
Because lying there—
Was a set of silver acupuncture needles.
His hands itched.
A naughty feeling rose within him.
He gulped.
“I really, really want to poke something.”
