Chapter 6: Side Effec (2/2)
At this time, I regained my senses, and felt embarrassed when I looked at Yan. I still had more questions in my mind, but I shouldn't ask. So the two of us just kept looking without saying any words.
After a long time, Yan looked at me and broke the silence. ”You asked one question just now and you still have another chance.”
At this moment, I had another question in my mind, but I couldn't say it. I could only say, ”Well, how can I save you?”
Yan looked at me, and laughed while waving his hand. This was the first time I had seen warmth on his face since I had known him. ”Alright, that's not the question you want to ask me. Furthermore, you can't save me now. What you want to ask is, why can you borrow the power of other things?”
”Yes”, I nodded hesitantly. Actually, I had planned to ask Liu Shuai about this. I had already guessed a bit about my situation, but I would keep my distance from this strange ability. Now that he had spoken it out, I did not want to make him lose face, so I could only continue it.
”Honestly speaking, I am not completely sure either. But it seems to have quite a lot to do with your unique Imbedding Body… Don't you realize that you usually like to imitate familiar people? For example, imitating your boss's speech, or some of your colleagues' catchphrases. Of course, those are mostly used as a joke skill. At the same time, people like you who have a part of the soul of the Underworld will experience a qualitative change when you are activated by some conditions. The qualitative change is, what you imitate might not be a person's ability, but some kind of ability that you believe in your subconscious mind, which has already become a classic, or even a semi-classic one. ”Yan thought for a moment, and tried his best to use the simplest words to make me understand it. ”For example, that night, what you imitated was actually what you subconsciously believed, and what most people thought were martial arts from classic literary works. Of course, this is also because you have read these works many times, and have a deeper understanding of them in your mind.”
”So powerful?” I suddenly felt that I could rove all over the world with my sword and see the prosperity of the world.
”Humph, do you want to try what happened to Zhou Yuan?” Yan looked at me coldly, and I couldn't help but shiver. ”There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you think you can eat it for free, you will not be far from becoming an idiot. There are two problems in this kind of special body. The first is, this ability must be activated through the use of mana, otherwise it would not work. The second is, it was almost impossible to cultivate such a body like Liu Shuai does. In other words, you won't be able to acquire mana. Unless someone else uses their own mana to activate it for you. So this ability of yours is basically a piece of trash.”
After Yan finished saying this, a faint smile appeared on his face.
”Damn it!” I collapsed onto the sofa. I had thought that I was just like the main character of a web novel who got an extremely powerful ability at once, but in the end, it was completely useless! Wait, that's not right. I suddenly thought of a detail from that night. ”That night, the first time you placed my hand on your forehead, it should be your mana that activated my ability, right?”
”That's right!”
”But the second time, when I placed my hand on the Kindle, you were already tied up by the Immortal Tying Rope, even though it was fake …” Fake...I muttered to myself. How did those unreliable magic tools come. ”Your mana was restricted. So how could I use that ability?”
”Why do you have such a good memory!” Yan shouted, ”No strict logic, ok? Can't you take it as a plot of Xuanhuan novel that riddled with errors? If you write novels on Chinese website Zongheng, you will be down and out! ”
”And here I was wondering how a staff member from the Underworld would know so much about the new products of the mortal world.” I rolled my eyes at him. ”Stop bullshitting, hurry up and say it.”
Yan was immediately embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, he said, ”I will say, but you will not be angry.”
”I won't. I will learn a way to activate my ability without borrowing your mana. What a great thing!” I smiled as I looked at him, thinking to myself that you'd better not to forget what I was good at, and I had a nickname in the company called ”Prince of Seeking Bugs”. I can even find out more than one bugs from the codes Liu Shuai wrote. If I could find the bug, this old guy would not be able to fool me. And as long as I learned activating the ability of Borrow Me Your Mana without the help of others' mana, I would be as awesome as the God of Thunder. No, I should be more awesome than the God of Thunder.
”Well, do you know the basic principles of Daoist cultivation?” Yan asked.
”Yes, I know the basics of theory, such as refining the energy into the qi, refining the qi into the spirit, refining the spirit into the void. What's wrong?” I wonder why he mentioned this.
”The principles are correct. Since your body cannot be cultivated, you cannot store mana. However, as long as the essence energy in your body is sufficient, you will be able to refine the energy into qi, then into spirit, and produce weak mana if you activate fast, even if I don't lend you mana. It is not much mana, but from what I could do that night, I could only activate it that way. But that'll bring side effect...”
”What side effect?” The corner of my mouth twitched, and my smiling face started to stiffen. I have a kind of foreboding feeling.
”Well, you know essence energy. Normally, people won't use it for refining qi, but for making love, as you know. So don't make me say something that isn't appropriate for children. However, this method will drain your essence energy in one go, and then your body will be in a protective state for a long time due to the lack of essence energy, so …”
”Don't stutter. What do you want to say!” I got more and more anxious, and my foreboding feeling got worse and worse.
”Well, it is that your cock won't have any reactions in a few days. You know, it's scientifically called ED in English.” Yan kept silent for a long time and finally said it. Then looking at my dull face, he felt that the atmosphere was too awkward, so he quickly added, ”Don't worry, it'll be ok in ten days or half a month. Hahaha, you're single anyways. So let it be. It's just September, and no masturbation in September, right? Take it easy. It's already been a week. Liu Shuai is even worse than you. He used even more essence blood than you did on that night. He will have to sing the song Wukong in half a year. As its lyric says — — What will my iron rod be used for?'

I ran into the bedroom...

Trying....
… ….
Again and again
… ….
After more than ten minutes, everyone in the neighborhood could hear that …
”Yan! Fuck you!”
