[Host signs up three people at the same time. Do you want to combine their rewards? Tip: You can get a higher level reward.]
Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows. This was an option that had never appeared before.
Usually when you receive signing bonuses, you get skills like lighting technician and stylist, which require time to master.
But if it is a combined reward for three people, what would it be?
If this opportunity is missed, it might be gone. After thinking for a moment, Xingchuan Taku said in his heart without hesitation: "Integration!"
[Reward integration in progress...]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special skill: Fist of the North Star Massage Method! ]
When hearing this skill, Hoshikawa Taku was shocked. What is the Fist of the North Star massage method?
Isn’t “Fist of the North Star” the strongest boxing technique inherited by Kenshiro in the comics? What does it have to do with massage?
The system was also introduced quickly.
[Fist of the North Star style is a special finger technique. The host will master top-level massage, acupuncture and physical therapy techniques, and can accurately grasp muscle conditions, blood circulation and meridian acupoints.]
Through precise pressure and precise application, you can quickly relax the other person's muscles, relieve lactic acid buildup, and even increase their recovery speed, allowing them to return to their optimal state in the shortest possible time.
[This is a physical therapy technique that has transcended the mundane, reaching the realm of relieving fatigue with one finger and connecting ten fingers to spiritual power. It can even enhance combat effectiveness by pressing corresponding acupoints.]
So awesome?
After listening to the introduction of the system, Taku Hoshikawa was amazed. What kind of skill is this? Can it improve combat effectiveness by pressing acupoints?
It's beyond human.
If I learn this finger technique, can I learn to use the Eight Gates like Might Guy?
[Does the host choose to learn? ]
"study!"
Taku Hoshikawa chose to study without hesitation.
The name sounded too intimidating, and he couldn't wait to know what kind of improvement this "Fist of the North Star Massage Method" could bring him.
……
Ps:
The "Fist of the North Star Massage Method" is inspired by the funny manga "Anakai Fuun", which tells the story of a man who practiced Fist of the North Star for ten years and became the best masseur in Japan.
The author has drawn "Back Street Girls", which is a very interesting work and I recommend it to you.
Chapter 196: The system’s bad taste.
The moment Hoshikawa Taku confirmed that he wanted to learn, a burning energy suddenly surged into his mind, like a boiling electric current passing through his brain and hitting the deepest part of his nerves.
A large amount of knowledge about massage, acupuncture, and physical therapy poured in like a flood, turning into countless fragments of information, which were quickly pieced together, reorganized, and internalized in his consciousness, eventually constructing a huge and clear knowledge system.
At this moment, his consciousness seemed to be pulled out of his body, and then he seemed to be in an ancient sanatorium.
It was a space with soft lighting and filled with the aroma of herbs. Behind a wooden screen hung yellowed meridian maps and muscle anatomy diagrams. On the stone table nearby were densely packed silver needles and ancient acupuncture scrolls. The air was filled with sandalwood, quiet and sacred.
A teacher in long clothes with a blurred face stood in front, demonstrating techniques on a human model with his hands as smooth as flowing water.
He said nothing, but it seemed as if every movement and every pressure was deeply imprinted into the depths of Hoshikawa Taku's consciousness.
The picture flashed, and Hoshikawa Taku's hands moved naturally as if someone was guiding them.
How to use the most appropriate force to relax tense muscles, how to stimulate acupuncture points to speed up recovery...
The force of every movement, the direction of every nerve pathway, and the treatment for every disease seemed to be deeply engraved in his consciousness, becoming a part of his body and instinct.
In Taku Hoshikawa's mind, this period of immersion seemed like a several-day-long retreat, but in reality, it only lasted less than ten seconds.
His eyelids trembled slightly, and as the last stream of information completely merged into the depths of his consciousness, Taku Hoshikawa suddenly opened his eyes.
As a drop of sweat slid down his forehead and meandered down his temples, his breathing gradually stabilized, his heartbeat returned to normal, and the whole world seemed to become exceptionally clear.
There was a faint current of heat floating in the air. Under the light, his fingertips seemed to be shining with an imperceptible luster. A perception originating from within the body was constantly flowing and stirring, driving every nerve ending in his body.
Taku Hoshikawa felt that his fingers were more flexible than ever, and even possessed a sense of precision that could not be described in words.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the three girls sitting opposite him, and found that their faces were slightly red.
Taoxiang was the first to tug at her collar, her lips slightly parted as she exhaled a breath of hot air: "By the way...is it a little warm in the room?"
She gently unzipped her coat and casually draped it over the back of the sofa, revealing her wet collar and a section of her white arm.
Fine beads of sweat slid down the side of her neck, shining brightly under the light. A layer of blush appeared on her cheeks, and even her breathing became a little rapid.
Jing Qinren's reaction was even more secretive. Her breathing was half a beat faster than usual, and her originally upright sitting posture unconsciously became loose. Her back leaned forward slightly, and her fingers tapped her knees uneasily.
An and Subaru, on the other hand, were fanning themselves with their hands while constantly changing their sitting positions. The hems of their skirts swayed slightly with their movements, and their eyes seemed a little vague.
"Yeah, it's a bit hot..."
She blinked, then suddenly looked up at Hoshikawa Taku, her tone teasing but with a hint of alertness, "Mr. Hoshikawa, did you put something in our tea?"
There was a joking glint in her eyes as she tried to laugh it off, but the wariness in her eyes could not be completely concealed.
On the coffee table, there was a cup of black tea in front of each person, the tea aroma was rich and the warmth had not yet dissipated.
When An and Subaru were in the arts school, they secretly discussed the "unspoken rules" with their classmates.
It is said that some small agencies will deliberately put something special in the tea or incense when signing artists, and take photos of the artists in disheveled clothes to use as a threat.
Could it be that Hoshikawa Taku is also like this...?
Although she believed in Taku Hoshikawa, she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful when she suddenly felt hot and aroused, especially when three of them felt hot and aroused at the same time.
Hoshikawa Taku knew that this was actually the system subtly transforming their bodies, but he casually shifted the blame by saying, "What does this have to do with me? Aren't you guys just too excited after signing the contract?"
As Taku Hoshikawa's eyes swept over the three girls' gradually flushing cheeks and restless reactions, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, why did the system always have to transform these girls in front of him? Couldn't it wait until they were asleep late at night?
Although it was indeed a feast for the eyes, it was also very embarrassing at times. If a stranger came in and saw this scene, he would think that I had added something to their tea.
The system is really funny...
Taking advantage of this moment, Hoshikawa Takuya quickly checked the hidden characteristics obtained by Subaru, Nina, and Momoka.
Band Lubricant: When An and Subaru are around, even if there are disagreements among the band members or the atmosphere is awkward, the entire band can ease conflicts and tensions. Like a well-oiled precision machine, it can run smoothly no matter what situation it encounters.
[Functional Monster: During long, intense performances, Ichinose Jinna's physical strength and vocal conditioning are significantly enhanced, reducing the impact of fatigue on the performance.]
[Passionate Heart: Kawahara Ki Momoka will not compromise due to external pressure, and will not go against her own musical ideals. She is extremely stable in her creations. Even when her inspiration runs out, she will continue to try and work hard to eventually create works that satisfy her.]
These three hidden characteristics not only fit their own personalities and strengths, but also seem to be tailor-made for them, providing solid support for their future development.
Taku Hoshikawa has signed many artists so far, and he has gradually become clear about the mechanism of assigning characteristics to the system.
The system does not force people to have certain abilities, but rather subtly amplifies their inherent qualities, allowing everyone to make continuous breakthroughs in the most suitable direction.
If she took her guess seriously, when she signed with Mizuno Ai, perhaps she could really gain some hidden characteristics that could improve her skin condition.
No...it seems that there is no need for a system. I can help her now.
Taku Hoshikawa looked down at his palms, the slight warmth still flowing between his fingers.
He could feel that the "Fist of the North Star Massage Method" he had acquired had surpassed the level of massage that normal humans could achieve, and could be said to be "otherworldly".
He raised his head again and looked at the three girls on the sofa. Their every smile, every frown and every breath were as clear as analytical charts in his eyes.
He could accurately read the subtle changes they were experiencing from their breathing rhythm, throat vibrations, and muscle movements.
Especially the celery.
She was sitting upright at this time, her breathing was particularly deep, and every time the air was exhaled from her chest, it was accompanied by a rhythm that was both explosive and calm, and it would be strengthened with each breath.
The system is probably currently subtly and comprehensively strengthening her lung capacity, vocal control, explosive power and endurance.
In addition to these changes, Hoshikawa Taku can also see at a glance some minor problems hidden in their bodies.
At this moment, An and Subaru were leaning on the armrests of their chairs, yawning and chatting playfully.
However, in the eyes of Hoshikawa Taku, the crooked angle of her neck, the slightly raised left shoulder, and the subconscious massage of her neck while speaking all pointed to one thing—
Her cervical vertebrae were slightly dislocated.
"Xiao Subaru, did you not sleep well last night? Did you have a stiff neck?"
Hoshikawa Taku suddenly asked.
"Eh? How do you know?"
An and Subaru blinked in surprise, "I haven't even told you yet!"
"This is because your poor sleeping posture causes a slight misalignment of the cervical spine, which compresses the nerves and causes muscle tension and pain."
Hoshikawa Taku said, walking behind An and Subaru, "I have learned massage, let me help you."
Before he finished speaking, his hands were already gently resting on An and Subaru's necks.
An Hemai originally wanted to raise her hand to stop it, but the warmth and pressure from the fingertips made her shiver subconsciously, and her movements froze in mid-air.
It was not a soothing kneading, nor was it a random rubbing, but a precise and decisive press on the area between the Fengchi and Jianjing points.
Just the first time, An Hesuba blushed and couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".
She seemed to have been drained of all her strength, her body suddenly went limp, and she leaned back in the chair, no longer struggling.
"Don't move, relax—"
Hoshikawa Taku said in a low voice, his tone as calm as a doctor.
He gently rubbed the Fengchi point on the back of her neck with his thumb, while his other hand followed the direction of the trapezius muscles on her shoulders and neck, accurately finding the Jianjing point.
"Your stiff neck is caused by excessive tension in the trapezius muscles, coupled with a slight deviation of the cervical spine that causes nerve involvement. I'll press this point and combine it with some reduction techniques..."
Before he finished speaking, his fingers suddenly slipped, and a force was transmitted from the Jianjing acupoint, and her neck suddenly made a "click" sound.
Then, a warm current flowed from the back of An Hesuba's neck, and the heat spread all the way along her spine. She seemed to be wrapped in steam, and even her consciousness became a little lighter.
“—Ahh! Hey! Wait a minute?”
An He Subaru screamed subconsciously, but then her eyes became confused, "...Huh? It doesn't hurt anymore?"
She gently turned her neck and felt no soreness or swelling at all, as if something stuck there was instantly unblocked.
Her originally stiff shoulders felt much lighter and more relaxed. She rubbed her shoulders, her eyes full of surprise.
"Mr. Xingchuan...you really know how to give massages? Where did you learn this? This is incredible!"
She looked at Hoshikawa Taku with admiration.
"When I was on vacation in Hawaii, I studied with a very good Chinese medicine practitioner and learned the secrets of massage from him."
Taku Hoshikawa once again used the old excuse of "Hawaii".
Chapter 197: Physical management of idols.
An Hesuba had no doubt at all. She was still immersed in the afterglow of that comfort, as if her whole body had been restarted, and even a little dizzy.
"It feels so good... Mr. Xingchuan, can you give me another press? I can do it!"
She blinked her eyes and spoke coquettishly to Taku Hoshikawa in a soft voice.
Looking at An and Subaru, Taoxiang was also a little moved and said: "Mr. Xingchuan, can you help me press it too? My neck is not feeling well either..."
However, Hoshikawa Taku raised his finger and pointed at her left wrist, saying firmly, "Compared to your neck, I think your wrist needs more attention."
"Your high-intensity practice routine has caused strain on your wrist joints. Sometimes when you play guitar, does your left hand hurt? Does it feel a bit weak?"
"It's an old problem. It's not a big deal, right?"
Taoxiang clenched her fists lightly, her eyes a little vague, obviously not taking it too seriously.
Hoshikawa Taku said nothing, but just reached out and put his hand on her wrist.
Just a little force made Taoxiang gasp and scream in pain.
"It hurts!"
Hoshikawa Taku retracted his hand and said calmly, "See? You think this is a minor problem and nothing serious, but if you don't pay attention, it could turn into tenosynovitis and affect your career."
"I think you should be a little careful. You've signed on with my firm now. In a sense, you're mine. I don't want to see your business fail halfway."
"It's written in the contract, right? Your health agency will manage it and fully subsidize any problems. You don't have to worry about the money, but if you hold it in and don't report it, and something goes wrong, that would be causing trouble for me."
