Du Cheng, who had his eyes closed, suddenly felt his mind go blank and his senses disappear for an instant.
Immediately after, after regaining consciousness, Xin'er's incredulous voice resonated: "How strange...!"
"Xin'er, what's wrong?" Du Cheng looked at Xin'er on the virtual screen in front of him and asked with some confusion.
A strange series of radio waves and numbers appeared before Du Cheng. Xin'er seriously observed that series of waves and numbers, which Du Cheng didn't understand at all, and said with equal seriousness: "Your brain development level is slightly higher than an average person's, reaching 6.5%. However, your potential is somewhat exaggerated. Normally, the brain area a human can develop ranges between 10% and 20%, and at most does not exceed 40%. But your potential is actually over 50%, and even a bit higher."
Du Cheng's initial brain development was only 6.5%, but if he managed to increase it by more than 50%, he would surpass 10% for the first time in history. Although Du Cheng didn't know what would become of him if his brain development reached 10%, he already longed for it.
Therefore, Du Cheng immediately asked Xin'er, "Xin'er, do you mean my brain development value has a chance to exceed 10%?"
"Well, if you just focus on future development, your brain development value will eventually stabilize between 10.1% and 10.3%." Xin'er said cheerfully. Originally, she wanted to use the brain vibration method to stimulate Du Cheng's brain development, but now it seems that is no longer necessary. Besides, the brain vibration method still causes some brain damage.
After receiving confirmation, Du Cheng still had a question, so he asked directly, "Xin'er, what will happen when the brain development value reaches 10% or more?"
"Simply put, a person with a 7% brain development rate will have one outstanding ability among memory, observation, and comprehension. A person with an 8% rate will have two outstanding abilities, and a person with a 9% rate will have all three skills outstanding."
Xin'er paused for a moment and then continued, "Just like Einstein, his brain development rate reached an astonishing 9%, which is why he was able to achieve extraordinary success in different fields. Even in the following thousand years, few people reached Einstein's level."
"And 10%?" Just hearing Xin'er say that made Du Cheng extremely excited.
"If it's 10%, then memory, observation, and comprehension will be improved by more than 50% compared to 9%. However, in the course of human history, it can be safely said that absolutely no one is born with 10%."
Xin'er is right. Without further development, Du Cheng's true brain development level is only 6.5%. Du Cheng is also aware of this and understands why this project was not made public until after the year 2450 AD. If it were made public now, it would probably create a large number of brilliant talents in a short time. Back then, the world would probably be far more than chaotic.
Seeing Du Cheng lost in thought, Xin'er's expression became extremely serious again. She said, "Du Cheng, remember something: a 10% brain development only gives you an initial advantage over others. But in the end, everything depends on your effort and dedication. Otherwise, even if you reach 100% brain development, it will be useless to you."
"I know, Xin'er. Let's start now. I'm incredibly excited..." Du Cheng replied without hesitation, his words filled with immense emotion.
"Mhm." Xin'er replied and then had Du Cheng close his eyes again. With his eyes closed, Du Cheng lost consciousness again.
On the virtual screen, another set of incredibly chaotic radio waves and numbers appeared. Xin'er watched very attentively, while continuously issuing commands with her mouth.
When Xin'er gave the command, the chaotic radio waves began to slowly dissipate. However, the numbers updated even faster, to the point of being imperceptible to the human eye. But to Xin'er, that meant nothing.
The whole process lasted almost ten minutes, during which Du Cheng lost consciousness for almost ten minutes. When the chaotic radio waves ceased and the rapidly flashing numbers stopped, Xin'er had already completed Du Cheng's brain regeneration.
10.2% – this is the value of the brain development after Du Cheng's post-development, which is almost the same as Xin'er's original budget.
At that moment, Du Cheng regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes. As soon as Du Cheng opened his eyes, he noticed that the sun was shining more intensely than usual, making it difficult for him to keep them open for an instant. He also felt a slight headache and a light dizziness.
"Xin'er, did you do it?" Du Cheng asked Xin'er impatiently, as he tried to let his eyes adjust to the dazzling sunlight.
"Easy job, don't you even know who I, Xin'er, am?" After completing the task, Xin'er once again resumed her incredibly proud attitude.
During this conversation, Du Cheng gradually got used to the dazzling sunlight. However, at the same time, he also discovered something else: his eyesight. Du Cheng noticed he could see much better than normal, and even his hearing seemed to have improved markedly.
"Xin'er, why do my eyesight and hearing seem to have improved so much compared to before? Could it be related to brain development?" Intrigued, Du Cheng, naturally, did not hesitate to ask more questions.
"Vision and hearing belong to the category of observation skills, so it's normal for them to improve. An increase of 10.2% in brain development can improve vision to almost double that of an average person. You can also develop dynamic vision, which refers to the eye's ability to capture, break down, and perceive images of moving objects. You'll understand when you see the screen."
As Xin'er spoke, she generated rapidly flashing digital images on the virtual screen. Although they were much slower than what she had seen before, they were still not something an ordinary person could see clearly.
Before his brain was fully developed, Du Cheng would never have been able to see the flashing numbers clearly. But at that instant, he found that he could easily capture the exact amount of any set of numbers that appeared flashing.
Du Cheng, looking at it in disbelief, asked, "Xin'er, and your hearing?"
"Besides allowing you to hear farther, the most crucial benefit of improved hearing is the significant improvement in your ability to distinguish sounds, allowing you to hear any sound you wish in the midst of chaotic noise." Similarly, this time Xin'er generated a set of incredibly chaotic sounds, which included the roar of a stereo, the noise of a car engine, the jumbled sounds of human conversation, and the roars of wild beasts.
Listening intently to those sounds, Du Cheng quickly showed a strange expression, because among them he discovered that he could clearly hear the faint sound of a silver needle falling to the ground.
Just as Xin'er said, Du Cheng's hearing not only allows him to hear farther, but it also possesses such a powerful discernment ability that even Du Cheng himself cannot believe it.
"Xin'er, besides this, is there anything else that's different from before?" Brain development can bring such benefits, but Du Cheng's intuition tells him that brain development seems to be much more than that.
Xin'er nodded and said, "Yes, besides the improvement in your hearing and perception, your nerve reflexes have also doubled. This will make it much easier for you to learn physical education. As for the rest, it's all implicit, and you will have to discover and understand it for yourself. Of course, you will also have to work very hard."
"Alright, Xin'er, I'll start studying those four areas right now." Du Cheng is not afraid of hard work; if given the opportunity, he is willing to put in his utmost effort.
"No problem. I've already prepared the main route for you. You can learn the rest on your own. With your current 10.2% brain development level, your learning speed will be at least ten times faster than an average person's."
As Xin'er introduced Du Cheng to the various categories of the main fields, she introduced him to the core of this perfect learning plan.
"Ten times the speed..." Du Cheng smiled slightly, knowing that he would have to work ten times harder.
