The next morning.
“088, I want to sign in.”
“Sign-in successful. Your reward is one bottle of Brain Development Potion.”
A brain development potion? What was that?
The whitening and skin-rejuvenating essences rewarded by the system earlier could be substituted with similar technologies in Chu Wanchen’s current era. Even though their effects definitely couldn’t match the black technology of the system’s rewards, there were still traces to follow.
However, this brain development potion was something that Chu Wanchen’s era could absolutely never achieve.
An ordinary person has about 14 billion to 15 billion brain cells, of which less than ten percent can be developed.
Einstein, who proposed the theory of relativity, only had a brain development level of thirty percent.
088 seemed to know that Chu Wanchen had many doubts about today’s reward, so it began to explain:
“The brain development potion can be considered the X08 interstellar ‘enlightenment’ potion. Just as newborns in the host’s era need vaccinations at birth, young children born in the X08 interstellar era all need to drink the brain development potion. The brain development potion can develop brain cells up to seventy percent.”
“Why were the rewards double for the past few days, but today only one bottle is rewarded?” Chu Wanchen asked in confusion.
“Because the efficacy of this potion is relatively unique, and the system detected that the host’s bound candidate does not require brain development, so only one bottle is issued.”
Chu Wanchen thought about it and realized it made sense. She was a student who needed to use her brain regularly, so she could definitely use the brain development potion.
Her mom was now retired at home and didn’t need to engage in brain-taxing activities like high-society socializing, so she truly had no use for this potion.
“088, does this potion also take seven days to take effect like the previous essences?”
“No, host. The brain development potion takes effect immediately upon consumption; there is no need to wait for seven days.”
Hearing this, Chu Wanchen simply drank the potion down. The system wouldn’t harm her anyway.
The potion didn’t have any flavor. Right after drinking it, Chu Wanchen felt a cooling sensation in her mind, as if she had eaten a whole box of mints. Her brain, which had been a bit groggy from just waking up, instantly cleared.
Aside from her mind becoming instantly clear, Chu Wanchen didn’t have any other sensations.
Eager to verify whether she had truly become smarter, Chu Wanchen pulled out her phone and searched online for a few Mathematical Olympiad problems.
Chu Wanchen’s weakest subject was mathematics, just like the online joke goes.
If you don’t know how to write a Chinese essay, you can still copy the reading comprehension passages from earlier in the test. But if you don’t know how to solve a math problem, you can only write down the word “Solution.”
Chu Wanchen was the type of student who couldn’t be taught no matter what. If she got a problem wrong once, she would get it wrong again the second time she encountered it. She was exactly the type of student who would make a teacher’s vision go dark with frustration.
The problems Chu Wanchen looked up this time were from last year’s Mathematical Olympiad competition. For someone like her who couldn’t even solve ordinary problems, the difficulty of Olympiad questions was undoubtedly immense.
But now, for problems that she could never calculate a correct result for in the past no matter how long she worked them out, Chu Wanchen only needed to glance at the text of the question to calculate the correct answer directly.
She looked at a few more questions, all of which yielded answers directly without needing to calculate on paper.
Subjects that used to be a painful struggle were now as simple as 1+1.
Thinking about how she wouldn’t have to worry about studying ever again, Chu Wanchen was instantly overjoyed.
Amidst her joy, Chu Wanchen recalled that from the very beginning with the 100 billion yuan up to the current brain development potion, it seemed every single one of the system’s rewards was purposefully reconstructing her.
It was as if an invisible entity was playing a simulation nurturing game.
“088, did you really choose me by chance?”
“Of course, the system simply hopes the host can become better piece by piece.”
Hearing the system say this, Chu Wanchen stopped dwelling on it.
If the system didn’t want to tell her, it would be useless no matter how much she pressed for answers. It was better to live in the moment.
Because Chu Wanchen had delayed some time with today’s system reward, her parents had already finished breakfast and were resting to the side by the time she freshened up and went downstairs.
Father Chu was wearing a set of luxury brand clothes bought yesterday. It truly proved the saying that clothes make the man; his entire being instantly exuded an elite vibe.
He was currently playing around with the Apple phone that Chu Wanchen and her mother had bought for him a few days ago. He had always liked Apple products, and his previous phone was also an Apple, except it was a product from several years ago that had already been discontinued.
“You’re up. Go have breakfast quickly. Nanny Chen made Shanghai-style fried glutinous rice cakes today, they taste excellent, go try some.”
Since Father Chu was present, Shao Wenxin couldn’t easily ask Chu Wanchen what today’s reward was, so she just urged Chu Wanchen to eat breakfast quickly.
They were going to accompany Father Chu to handle his apartment checkout and moving during the day today, and they also had to treat Father Chu’s close friends to dinner tonight. The schedule was quite tight, leaving no time for Chu Wanchen to dawdle.
Chu Wanchen quickly finished her breakfast, and the three of them prepared to leave.
The driver, Old Li, first carried the three of them to the 4S dealership. Because they had already coordinated with Zhang Ping on the way, the pickup procedures for the LaFerrari had been processed in advance by the time they reached the store. The three of them quickly picked up the car and rushed toward their next destination.
Chu Wanchen also wanted to ride in a sports car, so Chu Jianping drove ahead with Chu Wanchen, while Shao Wenxin followed behind alone in the Rolls-Royce.
