Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 192 - 153: Traffic Accident Ahead
As soon as Qiu Ruyue entered the consulting room, she locked the door.
She then washed her hands and disinfected them again with alcohol.
Li Ang, feeling the awkward atmosphere, tried to make conversation:
"Do traditional Chinese dicine practitioners also use alcohol for disinfection?"
Qiu Ruyue gave him a glance and replied,
"How novel, firstly, you need to clearly differentiate between Chinese dicine, Western dicine, traditional dicine, and modern dicine as four distinct concepts."
"Traditional Chinese dicine isn’t synonymous with backward tradition. It advances with the tis. Similarly, treatnts like bloodletting are part of Western dicine’s colorful past, but modern dicine, which is primarily Western, evolves over ti. Chinese dicine develops with the era as well."
Li Ang nodded. It seed he indeed had a narrow view on the subject.
After the preparations, Qiu Ruyue first examined his current state, recording the initial condition by observing his pulse, pupils, and facial features.
Next, it was ti for Li Ang’s Primordial Yang Qi to be released.
"This... is it done manually... or with the aid of instrunts, or is it artificial?"
Li Ang glanced at her and asked in a low voice.
"Of course, manual is the most accurate."
Qiu Ruyue answered without any hesitation.
"If it’s the first manual encounter, it’s still sowhat manageable, but once the number increases, the body will automatically understand and record the act. Therefore, your body won’t treat it as a genuine process, but will symbolically secrete so genetic material to et your need.
These genetic materials, both in quantity and quality, cannot compare to a real sexual encounter."
Although the topic of discussion was sowhat adult-oriented, Li Ang thought about it and rembered, and realized Qiu Ruyue seed to be correct.
This made him silently exclaim in admiration.
"Moreover, I can monitor changes in your body, and at the sa ti, study my own response. It’s rare to have such an excellent opportunity. We shouldn’t waste it. Let’s make it quick."
"So... right now?"
Li Ang had just asked when he noticed Qiu Ruyue starting to unbutton her clothes.
"Eh? You’re getting right to it? Isn’t that a bit too fast..."
He hadn’t ntally prepared himself when Qiu Ruyue had already climbed on top of him.
"Don’t worry, you won’t be contributing in vain. I’ll give you a discount next ti you co to get prescriptions."
...
Even on the way back, Li Ang was still reminiscing the recent scene. On the passenger seat lay the dicinal supplents he had earned through his physical labor.
To say whether it was comfortable, it was quite comfortable. Furthermore, after monitoring Li Ang’s body twice, Qiu Ruyue updated his prescription and usage precautions. She even gave him several packets of dicine for free, which made Li Ang feel sothing was a bit off.
But if the outco was good and the process was comfortable, then why think so much about it? He was in Arica now, so when in Ro, do as the Romans do.
Ever since Li Ang enhanced his "Vehicle Driving" [Skills] to the mastery level, he drove at the speed limit’s edge. When traffic was sparse, he would drive as fast as possible.
With these [Skills] at higher levels, it’s the sa deal: the training must be challenging and of quality to efficiently improve proficiency. Otherwise, it was nearly impossible to see any improvent.
In real life too, drivers accustod to slow driving would find their reaction and adaptability stagnating, because they didn’t need to use these abilities in everyday driving, and thus got no practice.
On the wide-open highway, Li Ang pushed the speed up to 160 mph, fully focused on the road ahead and checking for any police speed traps on the sides of the lanes.
This high-speed driving truly tested his ability to capture dynamic information up front and was the quickest way to master the performance and limits of his vehicle.
Suddenly, a police siren sounded not far behind him. Li Ang quickly responded, reducing his speed to below the road’s limit.
Soon, the police car that was behind pulled up beside him, cruising in parallel.
Li Ang almost thought he’d been caught speeding, but when the window rolled down, it turned out to be Officer Tyler on duty.
"I heard from Catina that you were seriously injured by a firearm misfire and hospitalized. Seeing your car on the road, I thought soone had stolen it."
Tyler was clearly surprised that Li Ang was out of bed so quickly and already able to drive.
Li Ang pointed to the bandage on his neck and answered:
"It’s not much of an issue, just a superficial wound. I’ve always been lucky."
Aside from having taken off his bandages earlier at Qiu Ruyue’s, he would continue to wear them in public to avoid unnecessary trouble, like now for instance.
If Tyler saw that Li Ang’s skin had recovered as if he’d never been injured, and then ntioned this to Catina upon returning, Li Ang really would have a hard ti explaining it.
"Good to hear you’re alright. I’ve got to go. I just received a call about a police matter."
After saying that, Tyler floored the gas and sped away from Li Ang’s car.
But it hadn’t been three seconds before Li Ang’s car reappeared beside the police car.
"So, officer, I’m a bit anxious to get ho for dinner, I hope you won’t mind my speeding."
After Li Ang spoke, he continued to press the gas pedal to the floor, and soon vanished from Tyler’s sight, so much so that he completely missed hearing the warning Tyler threw at him:
"Slow down, it looks like there’s been a traffic accident up ahead!"
The road ahead was straight and spacious; it would be a sha not to speed up, especially in the car he was driving.
And since Tyler was right there, it was unlikely that there would be other police ahead, otherwise, they would have called him first.
Li Ang kept speeding up to 200 kiloters per hour, a speed that was quite dangerous even if there were no cars on the road; after all, this place was not a freeway. The roads would not be swept for debris, nor would the conditions be perfect.
At this speed, even a slightly larger pebble could easily cause an accident.
There was a long uphill stretch ahead, followed by a downhill. When his car reached the top, his field of vision would be lost.
Although Li Ang was trying to improve his driving skills, he wasn’t reckless with his life. On this stretch, he controlled his speed, reducing it to 120 kiloters per hour.
As he passed over the hilltop, besides the expected limited visibility and strong sensation of weightlessness, Li Ang’s keen perception also made him aware of a strong sense of interference.
To an ordinary person, this might just cause an inexplicable sense of irritability, reduced sense of direction, and lack of focus. But for Li Ang, it was a glaring "spiritual attack."
However, there was no ti to think about "spiritual attacks" now, because the road just ahead had been occupied by two vehicles involved in a traffic accident, taking up two-thirds of the space.
The unoccupied part was also littered with scattered parts from the vehicles.
At this ti, Li Ang’s speed was still around 100. He calmly braked to slow down while focusing all his attention to maneuver the car as much as possible to avoid the larger obstacles.
In high speeds, making a turn is not so easy and seriously tests the driver’s control over the vehicle.
"Whew!"
Li Ang took a deep breath, having just managed to pass through this stretch without a single scratch on his car.
At the sa ti, his [Vehicle Driving] skills prematurely advanced to a master level.
A vast amount of knowledge on vehicle driving suddenly infused into his brain.
But with his current [Spirit] attribute, this data hardly put any pressure on him; he digested it with ease.
[Vehicle Driving] 18/1000 (Master)
(Trait: Dynamic Visual Acuity Enhancent 40%)
(Trait: Vision Enhancent 10%)
Beyond the increase in values for the original traits, this skill also gained a new trait, though not so new because [Hidden Weapons Throwing] had the sa trait as well.
This was the first ti Li Ang encountered two identical traits, but it was not a big problem. After all, their effects could be stacked, and the more useful traits, the better.
With further enhanced vision, Li Ang felt the clarity of objects in the distance had improved yet another level.
But he didn’t leave imdiately, instead, he parked his car on the side of the road.
Unless there was a surprise, Tyler was probably here because of this traffic accident.
The two SUVs in front of him had collided head-on, which is the most impactful form of collision. Both cars were crumpled up significantly.
Judging by the extent of the collision, it would be very difficult for the drivers to have survived.
Yet Li Ang was puzzled. Even with poor visibility, since there were two lanes, how could these two cars have collided head-on?
He didn’t rush in to rescue them, knowing he wasn’t a professional and fearing he might cause additional injuries.
A minute later, Tyler also arrived at the scene.
Seeing Li Ang safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, glad his warning had been tily.
But now was not the ti to chat; he hurried over to check the condition of the two vehicles and see if there were any survivors who could be rescued.
The drivers in the main seats of both vehicles were basically beyond the need for rescue. What could be seen of them was already mangled beyond recognition.
However, in the back seat of one of the cars, there was a little girl still inside. Although it was unclear if there were any signs of life, at least her body was intact.
The ambulance was on its way, but due to the distance, it was estimated to take another ten minutes or so to arrive.
There was just enough ti to extricate the person from the car.
Tyler had just cleared the glass shards from the top of the car window, but the door was deford, and despite pulling the handle, it would not open. The gap in the window had also beco exceptionally narrow, too small for his body to squeeze through.
As he was thinking of going back to his car to look for a tool, Li Ang’s voice ca from behind him.
"Let do it."
