Chapter 18: Sleep Test

Hula...

Sister Jiang Xuan, looking at his gestures, her eyes became hazy, and she started swaying.

As Jiang Li continuously made hand signs, his speed increased. Sister swayed her head, trying her best to stay awake, but she couldn't concentrate, as if she were drunk. However, she didn't fall asleep.

"Sleep, sleep, sister, have a good sleep. You will feel refreshed, and you will enter a deep sleep." Jiang Li smiled, his voice gentle, trying to enhance his mental influence to break through his sister's mental defenses. He sincerely hoped his sister would have a good sleep.

After half an hour, Jiang Xuan finally fell onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

"Finally, the hypnosis succeeded!"

Jiang Li panted rapidly, drenched in sweat, his vision blurred, and his physical strength was severely drained. Hypnotizing the Flower-faced Tyrant was simple, but hypnotizing his sister almost made him give up. The half-hour of repeated struggle left him mentally and physically exhausted.

However, he couldn't relax at this moment.

He stroked his sister's forehead, using the "Emperor of the Mind Seal." Indeed, Sister Jiang Xuan's breathing became steady, and her expression became more peaceful. Jiang Li smiled, and through his touch, he conveyed his emotions to his sister, who smiled sweetly in her sleep.

After his sister fell asleep, Jiang Li immediately entered a deep sleep to recover his strength.

After a full hour, he was completely restored.

Sister Jiang Xuan was still sleeping, and he immediately took out the sleep test device.

"Vital signs stable, brain activity relaxed, sleep quality: 98 points, excellent!"

The test device displayed a series of data, with the final score.

Modern technology can test sleep quality. Normal sleep is 60 points, passing the mark. Good is 70 points, very good is 80 points, and excellent is 90 points.

100 points is deep sleep, the perfect score.

Jiang Li's current sleep quality exceeded the perfect score, reaching an explosive state. Even without the milky white stone, he could enter deep sleep at any time, which made his mental cultivation far superior to those who needed to meditate, breathe, and guide for a long time to enter deep sleep.

If tested, his sleep quality should be close to 200 points.

Of course, his current life test device couldn't measure that. Only more advanced and expensive devices could do so. This kind of test device, like a thermometer, is common in every household and is not considered high-tech.

"Sister's usual sleep quality is 70 points, good. Now it has jumped to 98 points, excellent. It shows that my hypnosis is effective."

Jiang Li checked online again and found that he was not yet a low-level hypnotist, unable to hypnotize people into deep sleep. He needed to work hard to master hypnosis techniques.

"A low-level hypnotist can directly hypnotize people into deep sleep, 100 points, and can earn over a thousand star coins."

"I need to work harder. I must hypnotize people into deep sleep; otherwise, being a hypnotist apprentice is worthless." Jiang Li shook his head. "Unfortunately, I can't meditate on the Cosmic Brain while performing the Emperor of the Mind Seal. Otherwise, my brain cells would be ten times more active, and the seal's power would be greatly enhanced."

During the process of hypnotizing Sister Jiang Xuan, he seemed to have discovered deeper secrets of the "Emperor of the Mind Seal."

The sky was already pitch black.

Jiang Xuan woke up from her sleep, feeling refreshed. "Brother, I slept so deeply," she rubbed her eyes and jumped out of bed.

"Look at your sleep data."

Jiang Li showed her the test device.

"Wow!"

Jiang Xuan jumped up. "The sleep quality is actually 80 points, excellent! I used to get only 70 points. Brother, was this really because of your hypnosis?"

"Or what did you think?"

"Wealth, wealth, you can become rich by being a low-level hypnotist." Jiang Xuan counted on her fingers. "A low-level hypnotist is a big shot, a human ATM."

"98 points and 100 points are quite different. Only by hypnotizing you into deep sleep can I be considered a qualified low-level hypnotist." Jiang Li browsed the optical brain, checking various hypnosis records.

"By the way, where did you learn this hypnosis technique?"

"Online. I occasionally saw a post with this hypnosis technique and meditation patterns and immediately learned it. Unfortunately, the post was deleted soon after, and I couldn't save it." Jiang Li had already prepared an excuse and would say the same to others.

The internet is advanced and full of surprises.

A simple discovery online can explain everything.

If someone's bank account suddenly has millions, it could be due to a hacker attack causing data leakage. Such things can happen on the internet, so learning something is not impossible.

After talking with his sister for a while, Jiang Li asked her to go study, and he focused on researching hypnosis.

In the following days, he practiced the "Emperor of the Mind Seal" every day and studied hypnosis.

He used his sister as a test subject.

This was a win-win situation because his sister could receive good sleep therapy, and he could become more familiar with hypnosis techniques.

As his cultivation deepened, the hypnotic effect of the "Emperor of the Mind Seal" became better. Sister Jiang Xuan received his hypnosis every night, and her sleep quality gradually improved from 98 points to 99 points.

This small difference represented increasingly better sleep quality.

This was a terrifying statistic.

If there were precious fragrances at home, Sister Jiang Xuan might enter deep sleep every night.

In the park, Jiang Li was with a group of stray cats. After feeding the cats, he began to practice, performing the "Emperor of the Mind Seal" and then hypnotizing Dahu, Huamianwang, Dameng, and others.

"Army Body Piercing Fist!"

After practicing, he tested his physical strength. Although he had been learning hypnosis intensively, he couldn't neglect his martial arts.

He started with the simple "Army Body Piercing Fist." This set of boxing techniques has simple moves but strong offensive power.

Pure piercing punch.

Advancing piercing punch.

Retreating piercing punch.

Diagonal piercing punch.

Continuous piercing punch.

Everyone knows how to punch, just a simple fist thrust, the most basic and practical move in boxing. But the key in the "Army Body Piercing Fist" is the "explosion."

A single punch creates an air burst.

The more air bursts in a continuous punch, the stronger the person. Even a person with 1 vitality can only produce about twenty air bursts in a row.

Jiang Li wanted to see how many air bursts he could produce.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

He performed continuous piercing punches, like thrusting a bayonet, each punch and thrust, moving freely, one burst! Two bursts... eight bursts... ten bursts... eighteen bursts!

When he reached eighteen air bursts, he started to pant, his strength failing to keep up.

"So tired. I can produce eighteen air bursts. It seems my vitality has been slowly increasing recently, but without nutritional supplements, even intense training is futile." Jiang Li looked at his card balance, which was less than a thousand star coins, not enough to buy a vial of Green God medicine.

It seems he needed to earn money.

Jiang Li rested for a while, lost in thought.

Should he go to the police station to take on more tasks?

No use. Last time, he was lucky to encounter the Illusion Fox. He couldn't guarantee such good luck every time. Police station tasks usually earn little money and waste time, hindering his training.

Looking at his bank account chip, he wished there were more zeros on it.

Suddenly, another chip caught his eye.

It was Manager Lei Dong's chip.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head: "Right! Find that manager of the Xue Family Group. With my current hypnosis skills, I can definitely find a good job. I can't be a low-level hypnotist, but I'm still a skilled hypnotist apprentice."

Back then, he saved Xue Bier once, and the manager said he was always welcome to work at the Xue Family Group.

Although it might have been a polite gesture, Jiang Li's current skills were valuable anywhere, even without the favor of saving Xue Bier. He still believed he could attract the attention of a large company.

Ding, ding, ding...

The card vibrated, and a virtual light wave shot out, forming a human figure.

Jiang Li dialed the number on the card.

The card itself was a communication chip, allowing direct contact with the Xue Family Group manager.

The virtual light wave revealed the manager, who smiled upon seeing Jiang Li: "Hello, Jiang Li. Thank you for rescuing Miss Xue Bier last time. What brings you here today? I am Manager Lei Dong."

"Hello, Manager Lei. How is Miss Xue Bier? Has she recovered?" Jiang Li calmly asked, greeting him before getting to the point.

"Ah..." Manager Lei Dong shook his head. "She was forcibly hypnotized by the Illusion Fox, causing mental damage. She is still recovering and hasn't been able to thank you. Please forgive her."

"Oh?" Jiang Li, having learned a lot about hypnosis, knew that Xue Bier's mental damage was a "mental illness," which was hard to cure. Modern technology, though advanced, was helpless against mental and spiritual diseases. He had a sudden idea and said, "Manager Lei, perhaps I can help."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disdain appeared on Manager Lei Dong's face, thinking Jiang Li was boasting and trying to climb the social ladder by approaching Miss Xue Bier, which was somewhat despicable. However, his tone remained polite: "Jiang Li, we have invited many experts, including low-level hypnotists, but none could treat her. I appreciate your offer, but I don't think you can help much."

Jiang Li instantly sensed the stiffness in his tone but didn't point it out: "I have seen the Illusion Fox's eyes. He tried to hypnotize me but failed. I have extensively studied hypnosis and believe I can help Miss Xue Bier."

"Um..." Manager Lei Dong was suddenly startled. He remembered the case and how he rushed to the police headquarters, using his connections to gather information. He learned that the situation was very dangerous, and the Illusion Fox's blindness was likely related to Jiang Li.

With this, he took Jiang Li more seriously: "Jiang Li, if you can help Miss Xue Bier recover from her mental illness, the Xue Family Group will greatly reward you! However, we have invited many psychological experts and hypnotists, all to no avail. If you truly have a way, we can meet any of your conditions."
