A Case of Milk a Day, Endless Energy

Who are you people?

The office worker crumpled up the milk cartons, held them in his hand, and looked at the wall clock.

"What are you doing at our company so late at night?"

Fang Jun produced an identification badge with a natural movement, then quickly withdrew it. "We are a social survey team from the government. We are selecting people of all ages throughout the city to collect information and conduct a happiness index assessment."

His credentials are so ridiculously exaggerated; he'll add any title he can think of.

They're so skilled.

"Um."

Chu Tianshu smiled and said, "I am the doctor assigned to this investigation team."

Office workers were surprised. "You guys are out conducting social surveys in the middle of the night?"

"There's no other way; we not only have to sample different age groups, but also different time periods."

Fang Jun sighed bitterly, "One word from the boss, and the subordinates are running themselves ragged."

The office worker looked on with a sense of empathy. "Yeah, okay then, just ask me anything, I'll try my best to cooperate."

Chu Tianshu took out his phone. "Hey, where's that questionnaire file?"

He then pulled Fang Jun outside the office area, speaking in a very low voice.

"Did you figure it out?"

Fang Jun nodded. "He seems to have a clear mind, no strong desires, and the Spiritual Qi around him is relatively weak, even weaker than Kong Wenju's back then."

Chu Tianshu, holding the thermos, said, "Yeah, look at these markings... wait, why is this test tube changing color?"

The light in those two test tubes, which was originally colorful, is now turning transparent.

Fang Jun's expression changed slightly. "It's a small closed loop."

Some combined Evil Spirit relics, if one part is destroyed, or completely lost for some reason, may become unusable.

When the remaining traces of the treasure come together, they will form a small closed loop.

It's like putting five marbles into a bowl; they can form a circle.

If you remove two marbles, the remaining three at the bottom of the bowl can also be arranged into a circle.

After hearing the explanation, Chu Tianshu said, "So, you don't have the Five Viscera Precious Jades, only the Three Organs, because the connection was completely severed recently?"

"That's hard to say."

Fang Jun said, "After all, it's been several hundred years. Perhaps two of them were destroyed in history, and the remaining three have long been in a small, closed loop."

"However, we only managed to gather all three auras today, which is why the test tube is only now showing changes."

Chu Tianshu looked towards the office workers. "Alright, it seems all we have to deal with right now is this Evil Spirit in the precious jade. It's quite troublesome."

Fang Jun asked doubtfully, "The Evil Spirit inside him is weak, and he doesn't seem to be affected at all. Can't we just help him get rid of the Evil Spirit inside him and close the case?"

Chu Tianshu shook his head, his eyes deep in thought, "It's not that simple. Hmm, let's go ask again."

He simply searched for a happiness survey template on his phone and went back.

Fang Jun also took out his phone, pulled out a stylus from the side, and pretended to take notes.

Chu Tianshu said, "Tell me your name first. What are your main responsibilities at work?"

My name is Yin Fengxin, the Fengxin of hyacinth.

An office worker said, "I'm a clerk. I don't have a specific job in particular. If I had to pick one thing I do most often, it would be data entry."

My main job was to input various documents into the computer, and sometimes in the meeting room, I was responsible for recording what the leaders said.

Yin Fengxin sighed.

"I worked really hard to get this job back then, it's not as stable as your jobs."

"I've heard that some places have developed scanners that can transcribe text from a thick booklet into a computer in just a few seconds."

"Our boss often tells us that if we don't work hard, the company will grit its teeth and invest in this kind of machine in a few years, and we'll be out of a job."

Chu Tianshu first asked a few unimportant questions, and seeing that the other party had relaxed, he then asked, "How have you been feeling lately? Have you noticed anything unusual?"

"Fortunately, our company provides annual health checkups."

Yin Fengxin laughed, "After all, if someone dies in the company, the boss will have to pay compensation."

Chu Tianshu pressed further, "You're still working overtime here in the middle of the night, are you really in good health?"

Yin Fengxin hesitated and said, "It seems like about half a month ago, I felt quite anxious for a while. At that time, I also hesitated about whether I should go to the hospital for a checkup."

"But one day, I slept very soundly when I got home, and when I woke up, I suddenly felt very energetic."

Yin Fengxin said happily, "It must have been because my sleep quality was poor back then. Recently, my sleep quality has been getting better and better, and I have a lot of energy. I feel very comfortable sleeping for four hours every day."

As he spoke, he took a bag of milk from the milk box next to his workstation, took a small bite, and began to suck on it.

Chu Tianshu stared at him.

Noticing their gazes, Yin Fengxin felt a little embarrassed and pulled out two more bags. "Would you two like some drinks too?"

Chu Tianshu and Fang Jun took a look and found it was just ordinary milk.

"Perhaps it's because they have a lot of energy, do a lot of work, and are particularly prone to thirst."

Yin Fengxin explained, "Drinking plain water feels tasteless, only pure milk is palatable. Lately, I've been drinking more than a carton every day, and I don't even want to eat."

"Haha, maybe he drinks too much milk, that's why he has such a bull-like spirit."

A subtle glint flashed across Chu Tianshu's expression. "Single?"

Yin Fengxin said with a hint of melancholy, "I had a girlfriend when I was in school, but it didn't last long because my family wasn't well."

Chu Tianshu leaned closer, put his arm around his shoulder, and lowered his voice. "You seem to have a lot of energy lately. Have you been thinking about women? Getting some business cards or going to private rooms or something?"

"Don't worry, it's just a social survey. You can tell the truth without any problems."

Yin Fengxin looked a little embarrassed.

Chu Tianshu pointed at Fang Jun bluntly. "Just look at him, you can tell he's never short of women. He changes them too often; his conduct is definitely questionable. But I haven't even reported him, so why would I harm you for no reason?"

Fang Jun touched the corner of his eyebrow with his index finger, his smile perfectly matching the image of a slightly wicked playboy.

"Of course I think about it, and lately, for some reason, I've been thinking about it particularly frequently."

Yin Fengxin relaxed a bit at this point, "But you might not believe it, but I used to occasionally browse websites to find something new and interesting, and use some toilet paper. Lately, I haven't used any at all!"

He cheered up.

"It must be because I used to watch those kinds of things that I had no energy. Now that I'm sleeping better, I have more energy, and I can do 60% more work every day than before. My boss even said that my bonus will be increased."

"The more you do, the more money you earn!"

"Once I've saved enough money to buy my own house, I can get married. Or I can date a girlfriend first. If it doesn't work out, I can always find someone new. Changing girlfriends isn't illegal."

"So I must maintain my current condition and absolutely not let my hands or the things on the computer ruin my current health."

Yin Fengxin clenched his fist, full of fighting spirit.

"In the past two weeks, I've thought about those kinds of things countless times, but I've held it all in."

"Work! Make money! Having money is the most important thing!"

Fang Jun couldn't help but show a look of admiration.

The Kidney Jade Evil Spirit awakens in the body. An ordinary person should have already gone to replenish yin and yang. Not to mention going to do business, they might even be unable to resist dragging people into alleys in the middle of the night and committing crimes repeatedly.

This Yin Fengxin, on the contrary, has become even more stoic than before.

The desire to earn a wage can overwhelm the influence of Evil Spirit; this is no ordinary person.

Chu Tianshu sighed inwardly, his eyes reflecting Yin Fengxin's face, which was full of fighting spirit and hope.

The perception from the Insight Technique was correct; this person did not suppress the influence of the Evil Spirit Evil Spirit, but rather forcibly reversed its influence in another direction.

To be able to do this means that although the Evil Spirit within him is weak, the degree of entanglement between him and the Evil Spirit is extremely deep.

With Chu Tianshu's medical skills, it's almost certain.

Yin Fengxin has already died suddenly once.

He must have encountered the Kidney Jade- tonifying apoplexy at the moment of his sudden death.

But logically speaking, a healing performed by Evil Spirit shouldn't leave a person with such a clear mind.
