Chapter 23 – Weight Loss Treatment
The next morning, Suo Jia asked his mom to go to the market and pick up a few fresh Quack Chickens. His mom didn’t think twice about the request, she was only thinking that Suo Jia was hungry and wanted to eat a few tender chickens for dinner. Money for them was no longer an issue, so if his wish was some poultry then she would do her best to accommodate his wish.
Quack chickens are magical pets with very tender and delicious high quality meat. They are bred in cold climates, so they have a thick layers of fat under their skin to resist the cold. It was because of this fatty layer that Suo Jia wanted to eat a Quack Chicken.
Although chickens and humans were very different, their lipid layers were similar. Using this knowledge, Suo Jia devised a simple plan to experiment a bit. He wanted to see if he could get rid of the fat in a Quack Chicken without causing any harm to the chicken itself. If this was possible, then he would be able to develop something similar for use on humans.
Suo Jia didn’t dare experiment on people for that would be far too inhumane. Quack Chickens, on the other hand, were a different story. Now, while Suo Jia was a kindhearted person, he was not so kind to have pity on a Quack Chicken.
That night, Suo Jia sat down on his bed with a simple stool in front of him. On it a tied up Quack Chicken rested. To prevent any potential cries of pain the chicken may utter, its mouth was firmly bound with rope. Also, from far away, people wouldn’t see a Quack Chicken, but a fluffy dumpling instead!
Suo Jia silently lifted both hands. He then pressed both palms on the Quack Chicken. It began to tremble. How unfortunate it was, even though it wanted move, to have been bound with so much rope. Aside from shaking in its place, there was nothing else the poor chicken could do.
Putting all his concentration in feeling the Quack Chicken’s inner water streams, Suo Jia soon realized that the water streams leading to the lipid layers weren’t the body’s main streams, but rather the very tiny ends of them. Even if these ends were cut off, there would be no effect on the water stream pathway itself!
If his target was a person, Suo Jia would not dare to be so excited, but since his current target was only a Quack chicken, he directly controlled the water streams from within the lipid layers to leave, with no hesitation at all.
Very quickly, the streams of blood within the lipid layers being controlled by Suo Jia were swept out. However, this was still incomplete; Suo Jia could clearly feel that within the lipid layers, a large amount of water was still being contained!
Inhaling a deep breath, Suo Jia knew that whether or not all the water content within the lipid layers could be completely sucked out was the largest problem. Just pulling the blood away was useless; only by completely sucking out all the water content within the lipid layers would he achieve his goal!
Based on Suo Jia’s feeling, the inside of the lipid layers was comprised of at least 20% water content, all of it freely floating around within the lipid layers. Actually removing this water content was really difficult.
However, since he was already testing it, no matter how difficult it was he had to continue on. Closing his eyes, Suo Jia concentrated on manipulating the water content in the lipid layers of the Quack chicken. With his efforts, finally stream by stream of fluids slowly permeated out of the lipid layers. Even though the process was very slow, and the amount extracted was very little, it definitely had an effect!
Along with the decreasing amount of water content, Suo Jia’s senses discovered that the previously energetic lipid layers began to grow more sluggish. After a short while, once the contained water levels had decreased to a certain degree, the whole lipid layer suddenly began to wither. Moreover….the edges of the lipid layers had already begun to show signs of fading away.
Seeing this, Suo Jia could tell that the supply of fresh blood and nutrients had already been cut off by the act of Suo Jia’s controlling magic. Adding on the decreasing amount of water content, the fat cells didn’t have large enough power supplies. Basically, once that fat was cut off, besides necrosis, there was no other possible result.
To test if the lipid layers were completely dying and whether or not his actions had caused any harm to the target, Suo Jia did not stop and continued to cut off the supply of blood. Essentially, he had completely squeezed out every drop of water from the lipid layers.
After some time passed, finally… the piece of fat that was under Suo Jia’s control was finally completely withered by necrosis. At this very moment, beneath the Quack Chicken’s skin, those fatty lipid layers attached to the flesh had completely disappeared.
Excitedly relaxing his hand, Suo Jia knew that it had progressed just like he had expected. As long as he could control the organism’s water content th
