15.The Oscar trophy --------------------------- The old Taoist performed a set of tiger boxing. Suddenly, he yelled, and Jack was startled. The old Taoist then performed crane style boxing and Jeet kune do, and yelled from time to time. The old Taoist took a rest. He and Jack had some mysterious coffee together. The old Taoist took out a long sword. He wanted to perform the double handed sword technique. Jack can see that his sword technique is sometimes elegant like an immortal, sometimes smart like a snake. It seemed that he could cut everything off with his sword. The sword turns, as if many plum blossoms appeared in front of the body, dazzling. When the old Taoist priest finished practicing his swordsmanship, Jack welcomed him with applause. Jack looked around the gym and saw all kinds of cold weapons around the gym. He asked curiously: there are so many cold weapons here. Can you use them all? The old Taoist replied: The truth of martial arts is the same, but the forms of expression are different. The more you know it, the easier it will be to attack or defend. The old Taoist went to a strange weapon and stroked his sword gently. Jack found the strange weapon, and he was surprised and said: what is this? Isn't this an Oscar trophy? Can this be used as a weapon? The old Taoist nodded, and he replied: Yes, it's a weapon. It is made of copper, so we call it bronze man. Now young people like to call it a "little golden man". Little golden man, what an interesting name! Say Jack. In the past, Chinese people wanted their children to grow up safely and healthily. So parents give their children a name that they use only when they are young. Said the old Taoist: for example, iron eggs, hammers, iron pillars, etc. This little golden man is a symbol of love from the elder to the younger. The old Taoist saw that Jack liked it. He picked up the little golden man and handed it to him: take this and put it on the head of your bed. It will protect you. Really? Jack was very happy. After dinner, the Taoist priest brought Jack a copy of the secret of Golden Flower translated by Richard Wilhelm. He said: Richard Wilhelm has translated a lot of Chinese books. If you are interested, you can go to the library to look for it. Jack was reading the secret of Golden Flower translated by Richard Wilhelm. The old Taoist priest sat beside him with a bucket full of hot water and put his feet in the hot water. Jack said curiously: I really can't accept why Chinese people take baths at night and only wash their feet. There are two streams of gas in the human body. The purpose of the soaking feet is to let the clear Qi rise and the turbid gas fall. Said the old Taoist: Do you do one meaningless thing every day? Will all Chinese people do meaningless things together? You mean there are a lot of benefits to soaking feet. Is there anything in the water? Say Jack. There's only hot water in the bucket, and you'll love soaking feet in the future. Said the old Taoist. At the end of the soaking feet, and he went to put Jack to sleep. Chinese schools turn off the lights at 22:00 and curfew at 23:00. So now you're going to bed. Said the old Taoist: You are doing very well today. If you can't sleep, just think about this little golden man and have a good sleep. Jack's body was still hot, he was really tired, and soon he fell asleep. In his sleep, he remembered the old Taoist's words, and he thought of the Oscar. He found his body hard as if it had been cast out of copper.

The Power of Ten: Book One: Sama Rantha, and Book Two: The Far Future
(Author's Note: If you're wondering about the views, it's +1.8 million more on Webnovel, its original home. Updated daily starting Dec. 26, 2018, and continued with Book Three.) Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage made up a video game to train some people on the planet Earth for the catastrophe he knew was coming. That game was the Power of Ten. The gods seized this opportunity to take the templates of some of those characters, and even their souls, for use in other worlds, and other realms. Sama Rantha is one of those characters, and is going to find out that being a Hagchild and having to survive after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your Race at level One on a gamescreen. Join Sama Rantha on her Road to Ten, and letting her Hagmother know exactly what she thinks of her... ------ Warning: This book starts with a HARD OPEN! It was written as an extension of other stories that have not made it onto the Internet yet for National Novel Writing Month in Nov/2018. Book One/Sama Rantha: A traditionalist LitRPG in the fantasy world vein. The beginning chapters will be heavy with gaming terms and the supporting math as Sama exploits the rules as much as possible, minmaxing her heart out to get one up on the world trying to kill her. The math and rules lawyering tapers off, but are never eliminated, as Sama is going to do everything she can to exploit the rules of reality here and not die, while making sure those responsible for this get exactly what is coming to them... ------ Book Two, The Far Future (starting Ch. 286): The Warp, the final frontier; in the grim darkness of a galaxy far far away, there came a hagchild...QX! Sci-fi/Fantasy/psionics mashup, grimbright clashing with grimdark! Sama is sent into a setting she'd rather not be in, but the heart of a powergamer never says no, even in the crapsack galaxy of the Tellurian Empire. BOOK TWO IS COMPLETE WITH 357 CHAPTERS AS OF 9/2020. ----------- Book Three (updating daily): The Human Race (next Book!) - Urban Fantasy world. Three Power of Ten gamers come together in a world under the Shroud of the Cancer of Death. Whatever might happen when they do, and what might they find there? Book Three is complete with 500 chapters: right here. Book Four: Power of Ten is dumped into the Marvel Universe. Surely there'll be no changes to canon when that happens? A Fanfiction variant, with teeth! Dynamo The Original Sama Stories: Being posted at: over in this location. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Discord link: in zis location is always up if I'm online.
