Chapter 38: Ma Baoguo Angrily Left The Stream
Peggy stared at the group of researchers, sending chills down everyone’s spines.
“Professor, why don’t we let it go this time? It’s impossible for us alone to bring this tiger back. Let’s think of a way and come back another day,” suggested one of the male researchers in his 30s. His forehead was covered in sweat.
“Yeah, professor, let’s just go! The South Chinese tiger is no joke!”
Professor Wang Lin sighed. He did not want to leave the tiger, but he was forced to accept the fact. “Fine, let’s just go.”
Peggy’s intimidating presence scared the researchers away. After all, it was a wild tiger, a tiger without restraint. If it got angry, the entire group of researchers would not even be enough to be considered a meal.
It was impossible for them to take the tiger away, so they had to regroup and plan this out before coming back.
After the researchers left, the viewers in the stream cheered.
“Hahaha! They’ve finally left! I didn’t like them the moment they appeared!”
“Yeah, who do they think they are? Coming into people’s house and taking people’s tigers away?”
“A 500 RMB certificate? Who wants it anyway? Even pork costs more than 30 RMB per 500 gram. 500 RMB isn’t even enough for a beggar!”
“This is what you call a pro!”
The viewers in the stream had fallen in love with Peggy and the cubs after watching them for days. Therefore, they complained and almost caused a riot when the researchers wanted to take the tigers away.
They stood by Su Yu’s side and supported his decision to keep the tigers.
Uncle Zhang followed Su Yu to the little table under the tree.
After the researchers left, Uncle Zhang curiously asked, “Lil’ Yu, be honest with me. Where did you get yourself a tiger? You are really daring!”
“Uncle Zhang, it’s a long story. This is the tiger I ran into the other day in the mountains…” Su Yu then told Uncle Zhang about the encounter with Peggy the other day.
When Uncle Zhang heard that Su Yu encountered the tiger while bringing the wild boar back, his face turned pale because he would imagine how dangerous it could have been.
Running into a tiger in the mountains was extremely risky.
Even if Su Yu had a hunting gun, the chances of him escaping alive were slim. After all, tigers were at the peak of the food chain.
Uncle Zhang was curious how Su Yu could have survived the tiger encounter, and when he heard that Su Yu had punched the tiger away, his jaw fell to the ground. He was speechless.
A single punch and Su Yu sent the tiger flying away? A real tiger?
An average adult South Chinese tiger weighed around 240 kg and this one that Su Yu encountered was a lot bigger at approximately around 360 kg!
It was huge even for tigers, yet Su Yu was able to KO the tiger with a single punch.
Just how strong was Su Yu?
Uncle Zhang said, “Lil’ Yu, can you tell me how strong you are now?”
Although Uncle Zhang had seen Su Yu carry a 240 kg wild boar back alone with his own eyes, he was still not sure about the extent of Su Yu’s strength.
“How strong am I? I’m not sure either. I’ve never tested my strength as well,” Su Yu said.
Uncle Zhang pointed at a worn-out millstone at the corner of Su Yu’s yard. The millstone was once used to grind soybeans and it was estimated to weigh around 180 kg.
“Why don’t you test it out on the millstone?”
The millstone?
Su Yu walked over to the millstone, sank into his stance, and took a deep breath. He put his hands on the millstone and pulled as hard as he could.
Rrrr!
Grumbling noises came from the millstone before Su Yu lifted it up with his bare hands.
“6666! The millstone is at least 120 kg, right? Dude, you are awesome!”
“120 kg? You’ve underestimated the millstone! I think the millstone is made of cordierite. I have one in my house, but it’s not as big as Master Su’s. The one at my house is already 120 kg. Master Su’s millstone must be over 180 kg!”
“Who cares about the weight now? It’s awesome enough! Those haters who called Master Su a fake, where are you guys? Being a coward now?”
“Yeah! Aren’t you people so righteous with your dumb logic? Master Su just lifted a millstone for you guys. Say something please!”
“Dogs will always be dogs, following people blindly. Now they are too shameful to say a word! 23333!”
…
Su Yu lifted the heavy millstone up, but it was not as strenuous as he thought it would be even though it was around 180 kg. He felt at ease.
He even had the mood to do a little extra while holding the millstone, such as practicing an entire set of Tai Chi Fist.
Su Yu looked skilled while lifting the millstone. The millstone felt like nothing in his hand.
“D*mn! Tai Chi Fist? I’m already on my knees! Is this even something a human can do?”
“Carrying a 180 kg millstone and practicing Tai Chi Fist? Is this the real tai chi epitome of Tai Chi Fist?”
“Ma Baoguo of Heavenly Earth Form Tai Chi School leaves the stream angrily.”
“Lei Style Tai Chi School Lei Lei leaves the stream and reports the streamer.”
“66666!”
Su Yu got tired after a while, so he put the millstone down and rested.
Uncle Zhang was astonished by Su Yu’s strength. Why had he not noticed this before?
Su Yu had just lifted the 180 kg millstone like it was a basketball! Uncle Zhang was forced to accept what he saw.
That was a display of superhuman strength!
“How’s that, Uncle Zhang?” Su Yu said.
“It’s great! If you were born in my time, you would definitely have been a great plower!”
“Hahaha! D*mn, that’s funny! A plower!”
“Master Su is crying inside. He showed off his strength for so long, and Uncle Zhang just called him a plower?”
“Uncle Zhang, why don’t you start your own stream? You are so funny! I bet you will go viral!”
Su Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry at the comments about Uncle Zhang.
It was then that Uncle Zhang grunted in pain and clutched his right leg tightly.
“What’s wrong, Uncle Zhang?”
“It’s fine. It’s just some old injuries with my intervertebral disc, but I’ll be fine after some rest. That’s it for me today, Lil’ Yu. I’m going back.”
Su Yu pondered about the matter. He could not let Uncle Zhang delay treatment for his condition anymore. He wondered if he could find something useful in the system to treat Uncle Zhang’s condition.
“System, do you have anything to treat my Uncle Zhang’s intervertebral disc condition?”
[Ding Dong! There are three suggested options!]
[1. Massage. You can learn authentic massage techniques from the Cerulean Sky Chiropractic Hands manual to help the patient with his condition. Massaging can heal the disc problem.]
[2. Medicinal method. You can buy the Black Jade Discontinuous Balm from the shop and apply it to the patient’s back to heal the disc problem.]
[3. The condition can be slowly healed if the patient consumes the spirit water for a long time.]
The system listed three possible options with the last being the slowest in terms of efficacy. While it was the cheapest method, it was also the most gradual.
Su Yu did not want to go with the slowest method either. Instead, he planned to use the first two methods together.
“System. I want to purchase the Cerulean Sky Chiropractic Hands manual and the Black Jade Discontinuous Balm!”
[Ding Dong! Congratulations on spending 150,000 Popularity on the two items!]
