Chapter 126: An Astonishing Name

Alright!
It really is completely healed!
Putting on the bathhouse work uniform prepared by Wei Jingjing, Ming Tian repeatedly checked his hands and the Second Battalion Commander's condition, and the result was obvious.
Heed!
His hands had become as delicate as a newborn baby's. Not only were they healed, but it felt... as if they were even more flexible and powerful than before the injury.
The Second Battalion Commander's condition was the same—no, perhaps even healthier.
Could this hot spring really possess such miraculous effects?
Wei Jingjing's treatment method was very simple.
She scooped up a bowl of hot spring water, then gently touched the surface with the tip of her tongue.
The originally clear, yet ordinary spring water instantly emitted a faint blue glow.
At first, this blue glow looked rather frightening, somewhat resembling radiation contamination, but after actually using it, Ming Tian discovered just how miraculous it truly was.
Poured onto the wounds, whether new or old, internal or external, they healed completely in just a few seconds, just like in a science fiction movie.
Ming Tian finally believed it. It turned out what Cui Jue had said was true—transmigrators really did have an extremely low probability of obtaining a golden finger cheat!
Keep in mind that during the Health Explosion incident, Ming Tian still had two fragments lodged in his body that hadn't been removed. With just a splash of this spring water, the fragments actually automatically ejected themselves from his skin.
Ming Tian even used the remaining spring water to rinse his mouth. Hey, don't mention it, the effect was fantastic; even his dental calculus was gone!
It was just a pity that Wei Jingjing said this ability was hereditary and required saliva to come into contact with the spring water to trigger it, so this bathhouse could only be run by Wei Lai's descendants.
Moreover, even though he was Wei Lai's descendant, her abilities were already far inferior to Wei Lai herself.
It was said that the spring water Wei Lai once activated possessed over a hundred different effects, but nowadays, Wei Jingjing could only activate a mere six or seven effects.
Anyway, what other effects the spring water might have no longer mattered; Ming Tian didn't care. Putting on his work uniform and starting to work, what Ming Tian cared about was...
Why do I have to be supervised by this gorilla along with An Luo while working?
Why is this gorilla allowed to not wear a work uniform?
Why does this gorilla always wear a thong? And why do thongs get censored by debuffs?!
Do you know how big Xiao Ji's orbital satellite cannon is? Dangling in front of my eyes all day long, it's so disgusting!!
Ming Tian's face was livid as he mopped the bathhouse floor, finding it simply unbearable to look at Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji stood there with his hands on his hips, staring unblinkingly at Ming Tian and An Luo. His chest muscles, as huge and solid as buttocks, contracted rhythmically on the left and right.
And you know what? This rhythmic contraction actually made Ming Tian's brain mishear the tune of a cheesy pop song.
So... so awkward!
This guy's eyeballs are bigger than my fist, and he's been staring at me for half an hour. Could you at least say something, big brother? Are you a painting model? You can stand for half an hour without even blinking your eyelids.
Let alone Ming Tian, even someone of An Luo's physique looked like a dwarf from Snow White in front of this guy. As for Ming Tian in front of him... damn it, he felt no different from a Corgi!
"Ugh... um... Xiao Ji?" The excessively quiet air brought out an excessive amount of awkwardness. Ming Tian, who had always been a chatterbox, couldn't hold back anymore and broke the silence.
"Hmm? What is it?" The gorilla—uh, no, Xiao Ji blinked his eyes twice and responded very gently, except that... this voice, which was healing enough to cure Kugimiya disease, was truly agonizing to hear.
Ming Tian, who had never done heavy labor, was a bit out of breath and leaned on his mop to take a break: "By the way, you and that little girl next door... Xiao Fei, was it? What are your names anyway?!"
Xiao Ji pouting his lips, which looked like they weighed a pound, replied nonchalantly: "Xiao Fei's real name is Yun Yufei, and as for me... I'm the eighth in my family, so my name is Ji Ba."
Boom!
A thunderbolt out of the blue.
"Ji... Ji... Ji... Ji-ji-ji... Ji-what?" Ming Tian suspected he had developed otitis media...
Because it seemed like some incredible auditory hallucination had just occurred!!!
"Ji Ba," Xiao Ji replied nonchalantly, looking somewhat naive and cute.
Ming Tian was dumbfounded.
This... this is...
What kind of crappy name is this?! What on earth were your mom and dad thinking?!!! Who names their son that?!
Are you freakin' kidding me? Where... where is the Wonton Destroyer? Right now, I think your naming sense is actually quite tasteful! There's a guy here whose name is Ji Ba—yes, his name is actually Ji Ba! Ji Ba!! It's so twisted!!
Why do I feel like kneeling down upon hearing this name?!
"Cough, cough."
Coughing lightly, Ming Tian didn't want to laugh; instead, he wanted to cry for Xiao Ji.
No, what he was called shouldn't be blamed on him; it was his parents' fault.
"Just to be safe, I'd like to ask your honored father's esteemed name?"
"Hmm? My dad?"
Xiao Ji's subsequent frank reply made Ming Tian completely understand what the word "heavy" really meant.
"My dad is called Ji Lao."
So your grandfather's brain was messed up too!!!!
"Then what is your grandfather called?"
"Ji Qing."
"And your great-grandfather?"
"Ji Ji."
"Uh, I can't be bothered to ask anymore. Just tell me what your remote ancestor was called?"
"My remote ancestor? My remote ancestor had a very domineering name. He was called Ji Ba Dan."
So domineering!!!!
It turns out the brains of all eighteen generations of your ancestors were messed up, huh?!
What kind of crappy names are these?! Isn't this too bizarre?
You know that according to Darwin's theory of evolution, organisms evolve, right? Your family is slapping Darwin right across the face! Rather than calling this an evolutionary error, it's more like a case of atavism, isn't it? But even atavism should have a limit!
What on earth is the neural wiring of your family's brains constructed of?!!
Thinking back to when he had just transmigrated and clamored about wanting to commit suicide, Ming Tian clearly remembered complaining about his own name—Zhuge Buliang—thinking it lacked taste. But now, it felt...
Wow, I am so high-end! I actually have such a high-end, atmospheric, and classy name as Zhuge Buliang. The mom and dad of this world have such great taste! Thank you, my parents in this world.
Xiao Ji, you're a native, so I won't make fun of you. I'm a transmigrator; if I had transmigrated and found out my new name in this world was Ji Ba, I would have immediately jumped off a building to commit suicide.
"I think I'll just call you Xiao Ji..." Ming Tian felt he shouldn't use the particle sound associated with his name, and quickly changed it to "Alright."
"Why?" Xiao Ji tilted his head, still looking adorably clueless about what Ming Tian meant.
"Uh... because I think the name Xiao Ji has a richer sense of depth."
If I had to keep your name on the tip of my tongue all day long, I'd definitely go crazy.
Ming Tian had completely despaired of the naming tastes of people in this era.
It really lowered the bar again and again!
For the first time in my life, I feel that those two morons I wiped out in Yangzhou, the Death Twins... their names were actually so tasteful!
