Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 522 - 496: Brain Refinement

Chen Shouyi returned to his bedroom and turned on the light.

He let the Shell Lady out of his briefcase, and back at home, she was even more excited than him. As soon as she was out, she ran around wildly like a husky.

Chen Shouyi looked at the large pile of envelopes on the desk with a slightly stunned expression.

He didn’t expect there to be so many!

He casually picked up one; it was an invitation for a networking event organized by the City Government. He tore open the envelope and took out a letter.

He found out that it was overdue.

He had attended such networking events before.

They were basically matchmaking events.

But he was only nineteen, was it appropriate for him?

He didn’t want to find an older woman.

The second envelope was an invitation from the Martial Arts Academy to give a speech.

The third envelope was from Jiangnan University of Technology, also inviting him to give a speech.

The fourth was from the Martial Arts Inspection and Notarization Office, inviting him for inspection and guidance work.

The fifth was from the Provincial Political Consultative Conference...

...

Chen Shouyi read through each letter, then swept them all into the trash can, sighing:

"Why is it so hard to keep a low profile!"

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knocking sound at the door.

Chen Shouyi got up and went to open the door.

It was his sister, Chen Xingyue.

"Brother, did you see the invitation from our school?" Chen Xingyue said hurriedly.

"I saw it. I’m exhausted and don’t want to go!" Chen Shouyi glanced at her and said.

"Brother, I’m begging you, please just go, it won’t take long! The principal and the year director personally came to find me, and they said a lot of nice things. I even made a military order. You don’t want your cute sister to get in trouble, do you?" Chen Xingyue hugged Chen Shouyi’s arm, shaking it continually, pleading pitifully.

The last speech at Jiangnan University was a blow to the Martial Arts Academies in Jiangnan, greatly impacting their morale.

In terms of martial arts, they were the most professional Martial Arts Academy.

What did Jiangnan University have?

The Martial Arts Division was newly established this year, and they had even transferred a large number of faculty members from Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy.

Speaking of connections.

President Chen’s own sister graduated from their school and is now a teacher there.

What does Jiangnan University have?

It’s a pity that they carelessly snatched the title.

With the confirmation of the Chen Clan’s training method, the significance of this speech became increasingly profound, making Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy even more distressed. This honor should have belonged to them.

President Chen’s first time they tolerated, but the second time must be reserved for Jiangnan Martial Arts University.

They are the true hereditary succession.

These days, Chen Xingyue hasn’t had it easy.

Every day, including but not limited to the corridors, cafeteria, and bike shed, she would "randomly meet" the principal, adding to her pressure while feeling the weight of responsibility.

"Brother, just agree, won’t you? If you don’t go, I won’t leave!" Chen Xingyue whined and acted cute.

Chen Shouyi couldn’t stand it any longer: "Okay, okay, let go!"

The last wave of faith had already faded, and he could gain another wave this time.

...

Late at night, everything was silent.

Outside the window, the power lines crackled, with tiny electric arcs flashing continuously.

Chen Shouyi lay on the bed, eyes closed, immersed in deep meditation.

A vivid and complex four-dimensional human body pattern appeared in his mind, from large muscles and internal organs to small nerve endings and capillaries, the entire body radiating bright colors of light.

Currently, only the brain remained shrouded in dark shadows.

But at this moment, this picture that had been stagnant for months finally underwent drastic change.

Perhaps the quantity change led to a qualitative change.

As perception reached 17 points, the entire four-dimensional human body image suddenly expanded exponentially, perception became more detailed, and he began to see the neatly aligned cells on the body’s surface.

He saw red and white blood cells flowing in the blood, he saw neurons of the nerves.

Trillions of cells converged into a terrifying stream of information, pouring into his brain. For an average person, this could cause their brain to explode, even with 18.8 intelligence, it would be hard to bear such a massive influx of information in a short period.

But immersed in deep meditation, Chen Shouyi felt as if a gentle breeze passed by, completely unaware.

The change continued.

Under his subconscious control, the entire spinal cord, including the surrounding nervous system, lit up damningly bright as if electrified, illuminating the whole body transparently, and the brain’s shadows were gradually dispelled in this light.

As time ticked by.

Finally, at a certain moment, the brainstem connected to the spine seemed to be "ignited", emitting a faint glow.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

With this significant breakthrough, everything went smoothly from there, the light spreading all the way...

Soon, the entire brain emitted a translucent glow.

...

Chen Shouyi opened his eyes.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, his brain felt as if it had overclocked, becoming incredibly clear. He got up and walked around.

"This feeling..."

A hint of joy flashed in Chen Shouyi’s eyes. Although it wasn’t like the super state of burning faith value, the entire brain’s thought speed had unquestionably taken a big step forward. He thought for a moment, and the attribute panel quickly opened.

Strength: 19.1

Agility: 19.3

Physique: 19.1

Intelligence: 19.3

Perception: 17.0

Willpower: 17.8

Energy Accumulation: 5.13

Faith Value: 450.6

Chen Shouyi found that not only had intelligence leaped by 0.5 points.

It increased by 25%.

Even agility had also increased by 0.2 points.

"No wonder, I felt a little lighter on my feet!"

Chen Shouyi paced back and forth, adapting to the newly increased attributes, while pondering, "Is it because the brain, spinal cord, and surrounding nervous tissues all belong to the nervous system?"

"And this time, refining the brain obviously connected and optimized the entire system."

"Based on the experience of refining the marrow last time, as brain refinement deepens, it should increase again in the coming days!"

...

Four days later.

Otherworldly desert.

Chen Shouyi stood in the desert, with thousands of fragments of stones lifting from the ground, orbiting around his body, spinning wildly.

Each fragment followed a different trajectory at different speeds.

Yet, they moved smoothly, without interference, not one colliding with another.

During these four days, his intelligence had increased by 0.8, reaching 19.6.

Getting closer and closer to the 20-point threshold.

If he burned faith values, it had reached an astonishing 22.4 points.

"I wonder how I would fare against a True God with Weak Divine Power, but at least I could put up some resistance."

Just then, Chen Shouyi had a thought.

The next moment, countless fragments around him whistled like bullets, shot in rapid succession.

For a moment, they hit the cliff in front, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Telekinesis is still too weak." Chen Shouyi thought as he looked at the shallow pits on the cliff in front of him. "It seems that the most reliable thing is still my physical strength."
