Diagnosis
Chapter 11 Diagnosis
Upon opening the door, through the glasses, Zhou Yu saw two beautiful and young animated girls waiting outside his yard. It was a shame that they didn’t wear sailor uniforms, otherwise, he would have really felt like he had transmigrated into a Japanese school in the Japanese animes.
Uh… the brat could be ignored. But Zhou Yu still felt strange about this group of people. Normally, it would be some kids, who wanted to go swimming, waiting outside his house, or some old men playing chess under the tree outside his house. Maybe it was his lucky day today. He thought. However, what he said next was totally different than what he thought.
"What do you want?"
Although seeing two live animated girls made Zhou Yu slightly excited. But his reticent nature still didn’t change. The unwelcoming words plus the indifferent tone instantly froze everyone outside the door.
‘What did he just say?!’
Both girls had cruciform popping veins above their eyes. Fortunately, He Yuanyuan was a magnanimous person. So she did not keep that mind. "Nothing, I have heard that you made a small pretty pavilion, we just want to have a look. I hope that you would not mind," she said casually.
‘Oh, so it is that,’ Zhou Yu thought.
The Pavilion of Wind and Rain was next to the dried pond. At this moment, the old dragon king and the beaver were playing the chess over there. Since other people were not able to see him, and realizing that they were not here looking for him, Zhou Yu went back to his house to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Yesterday, when he was looking for other small beasts to capture, he encountered a damn Shaolin monkey, that wanted to compete Shaolin staff technique with him. And the result was that he was beaten brutely by a set of Bodhidharma’s staff style. He even still felt the pains around his body at the moment.
Looking around in the yard, He Yuanyuan noticed that the yard looked dilapidated. It did not look like anyone was living here. However, the small pavilion was exactly like what Zhou Hao said, it was quite beautiful. It could be clearly seen, that the creator of the pavilion was very skilled in craftsmanship and had extraordinary patience that was beyond any ordinary people. Not only that, but there were also some other pretty pot plants in the yard, which had been trimmed into a variety of shapes. The unique artistic styles and the inventive themes that each pot plants wanted to portray could be easily seen at first glance.
She had to admit that Zhou Yu indeed had some skills. However, this was not supposed to be a young man’s hobbies. Taking care of flowers and plants, crafting some handicrafts, etc… he made himself look like a retired old grandpa…
A man of great talent, who also did not leave his house for a year. He was truly worthy of his reputation.
When Zhou Yu came out of his house again, He Yuanyuan began to talk about the gardening work. Because she felt like she was able to find some common topics if she talked more about the gardening work. Otherwise, how would she be able to finish the mission that her grandpa had assigned to her?
However, what she did not expect was that Zhou Yu was looking at her in surprise and said, "you like gardening? Do young people nowadays have this kind of special hobbies? Or am I out of fashion?"
‘Special hobby my ass!’
He Yuanyuan was speechless. It was he himself doing those gardening and handicraft things. He even had the audacity to ridicule her that this was not a hobby that normal young person should have. Zhou Shuyu, who was beside her also laughed when she
Although they did not have a very good start, eventually, they still got to know each other. They also learned that Zhou Yu was a small-time writer online. He often wrote some light novels to earn some pocket money. Not really a good career choice, but at least, he did not have to rely on his parents. Although He Yuanyuan did not know any about gardening and handicraft, she thought that Zhou Yu was much suitable for a miniature landscape gardener. At least, he would be able to earn much more than writing some novels online. After all, those pot plants looked very expensive.
After chatting with Zhou Yu for a while, a question began to emerge. Her grandpa said that Zhou Yu had a mental problem, but from the conversation she had with Zhou Yu, he seemed quite well. There was no sign of mental illness at all.
However she did not want to arrive at the conclusion so fast, he wanted to observe him for another few days…
After sending two girls away, Zhou Yu rubbed his cheeks. He felt like in just half a day, he had almost finished all the sentences that he would say in the whole year. Apart from the Eyes Of The ACG World, everything about him was wormed out by those two girls. He did not know who sent them to his house. He just guessed that it was probably his father. Otherwise, why would those two girls come to visit him?
Checking the time, it was time to go fishing. A group of kids had already gathered in his yard and waiting for their "lifeguard" to go to the river with them.
Mustn’t disappoint them, let’s go fishing.
…………………………
For the entire week, He Yuanyuan and Zhou Shuyu would go to Zhou Yu’s house if they had nothing else to do. Soon, they became Zhou Yu’s regular visitors. In addition to continuing the task, that her grandfather had given her, there was nothing fun in the village. At least, there was a strange person – Zhou Yu, who they could chat with.
Because of them, Zhou Yu was only able to use the computer during the night time to upload some chapters. In terms of the rest of the time, his computer would be used by those two girls. Luckily, those unhealthy videos had already been deleted, so he did not need to worry that those two curious girls would find out something strange inside his computer.
After a week of interaction, He Yuanyuan thought that Zhou Yu did not have any mental problem. Apart from being really unsociable and aloof, it was not that difficult to talk to him. But he indeed had some strange behaviors some times.
The strange behavior No.1: he would go out fishing every day, but he definitely would not be able to catch any fish. He Yuanyuan had actually done an experiment on this. She, who did not have any fishing skill, also went fishing with Zhou Yu for a few times, although the harvest was not great, she still caught something. However, he, who went fishing every day, always could not catch anything. In a way, he was also quite good at not catching any fish.
The strange behavior No.2: he would often wander in the village during the day time, without any specific patterns. Sometimes, he would suddenly perform some strange acts. For example, he would suddenly start to run around the village; or clearly, he was alone, but it seemed like he was playing badminton with someone. What was the most strange thing was that he even fought air, and then as if something invisible hit him, he was beaten repeatedly while rolling on the ground trying to dodge something.
He Yuanyuan had personally witnessed that Zhou Yu was having fun with himself more than once while secretly following him. She was completely stunned when she saw it for the first time. It was at the time when she saw Zhou Yu was sent into the air as if someone invisible kicked him.
She even checked the place a few times after Zhou Yu left, clearly, there was no one there.
Eventually, after what she had observed, she concluded that Zhou Yu had periodic psychosis. It meant that he would behave like a regular person most of the time, but if he was irritated by something, it would trigger the psychosis. Normally, this type of person should be kept away from other people, because no one knew what would trigger his psychosis.
Maybe he knew that he had this kind of illness, that was why he wanted to move to the quiet village.
The more He Yuanyuan thought of it, the more she was satisfied with her own false reasoning.
Zhou Yu, who had been diagnosed with periodic psychosis, was currently busy catching the tenth small beast. He did not have any luck yesterday. The first small beast he had encountered yesterday day was a fire breathing dragon, that wanted to challenge him to a leg-based martial art competition. In the end, he was almost knocked out by the dragon’s Lightning Kick, which was quite similar to Chun LI’s Hundred Rending Legs.
‘I wonder if there are any martial art training center around here. Otherwise, sooner or later, those small beasts will torture me to death. ’
Comparing to yesterday, Zhou Yu was somewhat lucky today. Although he failed the first three times, none of them were the fighting competitions, so he was still able to carry on. And the small beast that he encountered at the moment, was The Programming Ape. Surprisingly, it challenged Zhou Yu to a Chinese calligraphy competition. It was the first time for him to encounter such an elegant competition.
Zhou Yu had actually learned Chinese calligraphy back in school, he had even won an award for it. It was one of the few merits that he had. It was just he did not know how to win the competition, since there was no referee here, and he also did not know what the evaluation standard was. If the standard was different than the real world, then he would definitely lose.
Luckily, the ACG world did not let him down this time, after The Programming Ape requested both parties to write the Chinese words "banana(香蕉)", the small beasts willingly turned into a card.
Finally, he had all ten cards now.
