(Thanks to the leader Yin Yin's family for their strong support for this book)
Such a brutal action made Luke look sideways: "Do you have to be so ruthless?"
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he slapped the cruel Director Sai hard: "They are your parents, not the big animals on the ranch. How can you perform surgery whenever you want?"
"I think they are no more than the breeding cows on the ranch now." Selina rolled her eyes and didn't care about Luke's sneak attack. It didn't hurt anyway.
But she still couldn't help but continue to complain about her parents: "They just think about having children every day. Do they think children are cattle and sheep on the ranch, born to be sent to the slaughterhouse to create profits?"
Luke gently rubbed the place where he had just been hit, with a mysterious smile on his face: "Actually... this problem is not too difficult to solve."
Selina: "Fart if you want to."
Luke didn't say anything for a while. Instead, he laughed as if he had thought of something.
"What the hell are you thinking of?" Selina asked suspiciously, "Wait, my jaw is still sore, don't even think about it tonight."
Luke paused, remained silent for a moment, and coughed to get down to business: "You don't seem to have thought that Robert and Catherine only had Cindy in the past 20 years?"
Selina was stunned: "Isn't it because they took measures themselves? The two people in my family would not take the initiative to do this."
Luke shook his head again and said, "They stopped enforcing the measures a year before Cindy went to study in New York. Katherine felt that the house was too lonely and wanted to give us another brother or sister."
Selina's eyes lit up: "Did you do anything?"
"How is that possible?" Luke looked at Director Sai with the same eyes as he looked at Erha: "Do you still remember our research on Qigong?"
Selina's mind moved, and she instantly connected the key points: "You mean, practicing Qigong will affect fertility?"
Luke nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Shana: "You are a teachable kid (in English, it should be - you are so damn smart, kid)."
Selina slapped his hand away and said, "Are you looking down on my intelligence again? Touch yourself."
Luke calmly withdrew his hand: "It can enhance the practitioner's physique, but it will consume a lot of energy, and reproduction is undoubtedly an act that consumes a lot of one's own energy."
Selina frowned: "This side effect is quite bad, why didn't you warn me?"
"Strictly speaking, this is not a side effect." Luke shook his head: "Improving the physical fitness of practitioners will naturally increase the lower limit of conceiving children, making the innate conditions of the offspring better."
Selina: "Trading quantity for quality?"
Luke: "That's about it. And for infertility caused by insufficient activity of that thing, Qigong can increase the chance of conception to a certain extent, so it is not a sterilization method."
Selina was still a little uncertain: "But Robert and Katherine have been together for several years..."
Luke: "If you have mastered the Qi Refining Technique, you can live to 120-150 years old without the help of dragon power. You can have one child every 10 to 20 years, so you can still have three to five children."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, except for those who can't find a girlfriend."
Selina ignored his cold joke and asked the question that concerned her most: "But they have already practiced Qigong?"
Luke: "But it's not even at the entry level. Marino cares more about his ranch, and Sandra cares more about your little sister Leona, right?"
Selina suddenly realized: "It turns out that the power of energy conversion is not enough, so they are so idle."
"Don't forget, you gave them more than one dose of Life No. 1, which can easily cause people to have excessive energy," Luke reminded.
Selena was speechless: After all this time, it’s still my fault
She silently repented in her heart for a moment, and immediately asked: "Then how can we let them learn Qigong?"
It is impossible to force yourself to practice. The art of Qigong requires your own concentration and dedication.
Luke chuckled: "Have you forgotten the experience of learning in your dream?"
Selina slapped her forehead and said, "Yes. You can guide their subconscious mind to learn after they sleep, then there will be no problem."
With a complete solution, she was in high spirits, and her eyes immediately became bright: "Well, speaking of studying in dreams, I haven't done that in a long time!"
Luke was surprised: "What do you want to learn?"
Selina's eyes sparkled, and her body coiled up like a snake: "Of course...sunshine, beach, and delicious food, just you and me."
Luke: "... You actually want me to be your waiter, right?"
Selina leaned close to his ear and said, "Applying sunscreen is also one of the waiter's jobs."
Luke: "... Well, okay, it's not impossible to consider."
The country villa fell into a quiet atmosphere for the whole morning.
Only the dog was lazily lying on the porch lounge chair, enjoying the sunshine, breeze, and the fragrance of flowers and plants.
…
Early the next morning, Selina's father Marino woke up from his sleep with a dazed look on his face.
Next to him, his wife Sandra, who was over fifty but still looked as beautiful as if she was in her thirties, also opened her eyes: "Are you awake?"
Marino hummed, and suddenly an impulse surged from the bottom of his heart, and then he... lifted the thin blanket, got up and got dressed.
Sandra was surprised: "What are you doing?"
If he's just going to the toilet, of course he doesn't need to get dressed.
Marino was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head: "I... can't sleep, I kind of want to go exercise."
Sandra said, "Let's go there."
She closed her eyes and prepared to continue her all-important beauty sleep.
After a while, Marino came out of the bathroom after washing up, only to see Sandra, who had insisted on sleeping in in recent years, also got up and was getting dressed.
He was stunned: "You..."
Sandra frowned: "I can't sleep either, let's go exercise together."
After saying this, the couple fell silent, as if they felt that the style of conversation this morning was not in line with their daily routine for so many years.
However, the two of them still went downstairs together to eat something, then went out and stood on the grass, looking at each other.
Sandra looked at her husband and asked, "What kind of exercise should we do?"
Marino nodded: "Well, let's take this one. This is the easiest."
The so-called health-preserving exercises are naturally the "abridged version" of the Qi-refining technique that Luke has slowly adjusted over the years to make it more accessible.
As a result, the effectiveness of the Qi Refining Technique was greatly reduced, but it was still better than having him and Selina personally teach him for several weeks and still not being able to learn it.
At the same time, the movements of Qigong were also changed to be more correct than correct.
Unless you are the boss of Kunlun, it will be difficult to see any clues unless you are patient and think carefully.
A jack of all trades like Daniel Rand may not be able to see the connection between health-preserving exercises and Qigong even after observing them for several months.
Of course, the low barrier to entry also requires focus.
Just like when a beginner practices calligraphy, the difference between being careless and being serious will have completely different impacts on the results.
In the past, Marino and his wife were inactive and either didn't finish their practice or did it perfunctorily, which resulted in almost no effect.
Selina couldn't treat her own parents like she did with her future "students", using practical education and beating them until they submitted.
In addition, since Life No. 1 was effective, she gave up.
Until today, in order to make the couple behave themselves and stop causing endless deaths, she finally let Luke "kill" them and gave them a set of dream learning tutorials.
Therefore, the two of them finally decided to practice this simplified version of Qigong seriously.
As for whether they were suspicious of her sudden diligence in exercising, Selena didn't bother to care: Isn't it good to make the body healthier
It would be better if those dozens or even millions of brothers and sisters only existed in our imagination.
