Chapter 8 - How Genius Is Made

"Congratulations, you have successfully activated the skill "Photographic Memory", increasing your mental power limit by 50 points, and rewarding your mental power limit by 30 points!"

80 points?!

On the pile of books in the bookstore, Chen Ke was holding a copy of "Three Character Classic" and looking at the pop-up window in the viewer, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

His eyes were still rolling rapidly, and it took a long time for them to stop.

Name: Chen Ke]

Attribute: "Unknown"

Realm: "First level of physical training"

Mental strength: [40/290]

Skill:

"Embroidery, Mastery"

"Photographic Memory, Getting Started"

Chen Ke couldn't help but feel proud as he saw that he had acquired another skill. Finally I don't have to embroider bellybands anymore. Reading is so noble.

After taking a pill, Chen Ke picked out the thinnest primer from the bookshelf and opened it to the first page.

The supernatural power was triggered, and countless electric sparks jumped in his head. Two golden halos flashed in the depths of his pupils.

Buzz!

The next moment, the two eyeballs began to rotate at an extremely fast speed.

His moving eyeballs were like two high-definition cameras, capturing the words on the pages and imprinting them directly in his mind.

Incredibly clear.

Chen Ke flipped the pages of the book quickly, but the speed at which he turned the pages could not keep up with the speed of his memory.

Finishing it in one go, Chen Ke closed the last page and exclaimed, "Great!"

It's just that the consumption of mental energy is a bit high. One medium-grade mind-concentrating pill can barely allow you to read six books.

Chen Ke couldn't help but sigh, this is the advantage of being rich, you can practice while taking drugs.

A person's energy is always limited. If he relies solely on his own mental strength, even if he has the ability to remember everything he sees, how many books can he read in a day?

After a short rest, he continued to pick up thin booklets to read, and took drugs once he read the sixth one.

Before I knew it, I had finished reading the tenth book and stored it completely in my memory.

No rewards were given.

Well, it seems that the more advanced the skills, the more difficult it is to obtain rewards.

I'm hungry again.

Chen Ke asked Tie Niu to bring over a table of delicious food. After eating and drinking, he continued to work hard.

Boom!

When Chen Ke saw the 30th book, the window suddenly changed to a black filter.

A dialog box popped up, with large, scarlet characters on it:

"Your life magnetic field is approaching weakening, please take some rest."

The life magnetic field weakens?

Is this considered anti-addiction?

After the window returned to normal, Chen Ke rubbed his swollen head and found himself sore all over and exhausted.

He quickly lay down among a pile of books and closed his eyes to rest.

It's a pity that I haven' t mastered the method of cultivation, otherwise meditating at this time would definitely be more effective than sleeping.

But wanting to copy the skills of those practitioners is simply a fantasy.

Which practitioner's life magnetic field would not be strong?

Even his follower Tie Niu would need a mental strength limit of 2,000 points to spy on something, let alone a real practitioner.

"Superman didn't wear red shorts at the beginning, take your time."

Chen Ke encouraged himself and fell asleep after that.

When I woke up, it was already night.

Chen Ke was full of energy, his eyes shining, and he continued to pick up the book, remembering everything he saw.

Sixty copies.

Boom!

"Your life magnetic field is close to weakening, please take some rest."

Ninety books.

Boom!

"Your life magnetic field is close to weakening, please take some rest."

One hundred books.

Oh, the skills are not upgraded?

Come again!

Two hundred books!

bite!

"Congratulations, you have finished reading 200 books, and your skill of "Photographic Memory" has been upgraded from entry level to mastery.

Your mental power limit has been increased by 100 points, and you are rewarded with 100 points of mental power limit!"

200 points?!

Finally upgraded, come again!

bite!

"Congratulations, you have finished reading a thousand books. Your skill of "Photographic Memory" has been upgraded from mastered to proficient. Your mental power limit has been increased by 300 points, and you have been awarded 200 points of mental power limit!"

500 points?

500 points?!

Chen Ke's eyes were red and his hair was messy. He looked at the pop-up dialog box and clenched his fists excitedly.

Two skill upgrades increased his mental power limit by 700 points.

Brush, brush!

In the window, streams of data flashed by gracefully.

>>

Name: [Chen Ke]

Attribute: "Unknown"

Realm: "First level of physical training"

Mental strength: [60/941]

Skill:

"Embroidery, Mastery"

"Photographic Memory", Mastery"

>>

Chen Ke was extremely excited; his hard work had not been in vain. Not only had he improved his "Photographic Memory" to "Mastery", he had also tripled the upper limit of his mental power.

Thinking back to those three days of working day and night, Chen Ke was filled with emotion. It turned out that genius was not so easy to become.

Wait, something's not right. Chen Ke's face changed instantly.

He clearly remembered that his previous mental strength limit was 290. After two upgrades, the upper limit increased by 600 points.

By this calculation, his mental power limit should be 990, not 941.

So where did the missing 49 points of the upper limit go?

This is so wrong. There are fifty avenues, and everyone else's is the 1 that escapes.

Why is it that when it comes to me, it becomes the 49 that escapes?

Chen Ke had a strange expression on his face, and suddenly he thought of the previous pop-up warning and began to understand a little.

It must be that he consumed too much energy and damaged his life magnetic field, which resulted in the inability to replenish the upper limit of his mental power.

The more Chen Ke thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. Otherwise, at the age of five, Tongtong would have already mastered the innate skill of "Photographic Memory" to "mastery".

It is because Tongtong is too young and cannot over-consume energy and damage his foundation.

Therefore, his reading volume was intentionally controlled, and his skills remained at the "entry-level" level.

Chen Ke realized this and didn't dare to endure it any longer, so he lay down among the pile of books and fell into a deep sleep.

Tomorrow is the day to compete with the genius children.

Well, that was also the day when I, Chen Ke, divorced my wife.

Woo, woo!

In the early morning, from the bell tower in the center of Meicheng, a dull horn sound

spread and quickly spread throughout the city.

Air raid siren!

Chen Ke opened his sleepy eyes and sat up from the pile of books in a daze.

There was nothing to be afraid of, he had gotten used to it in the past few days.

The flying army of the demon clan could not break through the tight city defenses. Those that occasionally managed to break through were shot down near the city wall and could not even fly over the main city.

Otherwise, Meicheng would have been in chaos long ago, and there would be no prosperous and bustling scene.

Sure enough, the bells rang from the bell tower again, and the alarm was lifted.

Chen Ke rubbed his eyes and suddenly felt something was wrong.

The world before my eyes became extremely clear, and the colors became bright and vivid.

It was as if there had been a gray film covering the eyes before, but it had now been removed. Not only did his vision improve, but his hearing also improved. He could clearly hear Tie Niu's long breathing while he was meditating in the duty room in the hall.

"This is probably because my mental strength has improved." Chen Ke was extremely

surprised.

There are less than 100 points of mental strength left, so I'd better replenish it first to be prepared.

In one breath, Chen Ke took two medium-grade mind-concentrating pills and two low-grade mind-concentrating pills, and his mental power surged upwards.

He didn't dare to take nicotine too frequently, and would continue taking nicotine

when he arrived at the academy.

After going downstairs, Chen Ke came to the desk, picked up his pen and began to write on the paper.

After blowing the ink dry, Chen Ke rubbed it a few times and put it into his sleeve.

This is a marriage certificate, and he wants to tear it into pieces in front of Su Yuqing. Well, life cannot be without a sense of ritual!
