Chapter 130 Dahui 2 Middle School 8

When Yang Yi was eight years old, he learned that he had hyperthymesia.

He felt that it might be this disease that made him speak less and less. His mind was filled with too many things, and his attention was diverted to the past, so he had no mind to talk.

Before he was sold, he tended to speak less and less, which of course had something to do with his family environment. In that family, he had no desire to speak at all.

But he would go home on time, observe his soft, babbling brother, watch him crawling around, and reach out to stop him when he was about to hit the wall.

This is the only thing in the house that can divert his attention and make him forget many things.

So, when he was about to be sold to that underground research institute, he had to take his brother with him.

Luckily, he had his brother with him, so he was able to escape from the lab.

The happiest time of his life was in the tube building, where he was in pain but also very peaceful. He tried to resist his hyperthymesia and found a way to live harmoniously with the past and the disease. It was because he had his brother by his side.

He had only one idea and goal at that time, which was to raise his younger brother well. He didn't need to be as smart as him, but just wanted him to grow up stupidly, without the attention, and safely.

The process of raising his brother was enough to heal him, because when he was in the underground research institute, he understood that his brother was his tranquilizer. Raising him to grow up healthily was to raise himself and his sense of security.

Yang Mei is a brother like him, for whom he is willing to devote his whole life.

But they wanted to send the younger brother he had raised with great difficulty to a violent man in his forties.

Yang Yi never concealed his hatred for his parents. He was certain and resolute, and he never even comforted or persuaded himself.

When they hugged Yang Mei's legs, he asked why they were not dead yet, and it came from his heart.

It would be nice if they weren't there, he thought to himself more than once.

After he said it, he subconsciously covered his mouth, just because they were the "dad and mom" that Yang Mei had been looking forward to countless times since childhood.

He entered the game and gained a skill, but the funny thing is that he had to speak out this skill.

He could say everything he wanted, so he couldn't lie to Yang Mei.

Yang Yi once thought that this world had given him two major disasters, one was hyperthymesia and the other was gaming skills, but they were given to his younger brother.

His hyperthymesia made him constantly recall all the bad things in the past, and his gaming skills made him afraid to think of anything bad for a long time afterwards. The combination of his skills and hyperthymesia could become the third disaster.

When he had hyperthymesia, he had a younger brother. After he gained the ability, he no longer has a younger brother.

He upgraded his skills himself, adding restrictions layer by layer.

When he uses a skill, he often adds a "really?" This "really?" is to remind himself and give himself another chance to make a decision. If he says "really?", it means he has decided to use it. If he doesn't say it, he still has a chance to change his mind.

"Really?" is also the phrase he said most to his younger brother.

When Yang Mei was a very curious child, he always had some ideas that sounded stupid and funny. He often wanted to laugh when he heard these ideas. In order to cover this up, he would first reply with a "Really?" and think about how to tell him before speaking.

He used whatever methods he could think of to give himself peace of mind and to restrain himself.

[You actually want to reconcile with your brother, right? ]

No need to say it.

After seeing the last words that sounded like Yang Yi using a skill, Xia Bai walked away.

He felt that the conflict between the brothers had probably been resolved and they were no longer needed, but he was afraid that Yang Mei would cry, so he took the opportunity to run to the door.

Ling Changye knew what he meant and came out with him.

Hua Haoming thought they had some ideas or plans, so he followed them.

"Have you thought of any solution?" he asked.

Ling Changye: “No.”

Hua Haoming: “…”

"I thought you had some ideas." He asked, "Then why did you come out?"

Ling Changye: "Now that the main conflict between them has been resolved, let Yang Yi solve this problem. He will not ignore his own brother."

Hua Haoming also said: "Yes, he is our brother, so there is no need for us teammates to worry about him."

Xia Bai glanced at the two of them and felt something was sour, especially what Hua Haoming said. He usually disliked Yang Mei for being stupid and difficult to take care of, but now that Yang Mei and her brother have reconciled, he started to feel sour again.

"Yes, it's my brother. My brother is the most suitable partner." Xia Bai nodded.

Hua Haoming: "...I always feel like you are implying something."

Xia Bai rubbed against Ling Changye and said, "You are talking nonsense, I didn't do that."

Hua Haoming gritted his teeth and whispered: "A pair of dead lovers, a pair of dead brothers."

Ling Changye was not displeased by being called a dead couple, and even had a faint smile on his face, "It's okay, you are not alone."

After realizing what Ling Changye said, Hua Haoming returned to the dormitory with a sour face.

"What about me, captain?" Xia Bai asked.

"You have no choice but to go back and sleep with me." Ling Changye said that it was not known how long it would take for Yang Yi and Yang Mei to reconcile, and there happened to be an empty space in his dormitory.

Xia Bai was a little excited, "A bed?"

Ling Changye: “…Yeah.”

Xia Bai and Ling Changye returned to the dormitory. They got on the same bed. All night long, Xia Bai was competing with Ling Changye to see who could read faster and who had a better memory.

Extremely tired. Finally, Xia Bai collapsed on Ling Changye's bed, unable to move at all.

The next morning, Xia Bai was again woken up by Ling Changye's iced coffee.

Xia Bai said dazedly: "Captain, why don't you wake me up with a kiss?"

Ling Changye opened his iced coffee and took a few sips before saying, "Being too excited or too depressed is not good for studying."

Xia Bai stared at Ling Changye's Adam's apple that rolled up and down due to the coffee, and wondered if Ling Changye was a very health-conscious person. What he said sounded very health-conscious. Oh, he usually likes to drink tea, and it seems that he is very health-conscious. His love of jade also seems to be a hobby of an older man.

While Xia Bai was thinking, he saw Ling Changye had turned his head at some point and was looking at him with his eyes a little blue.

"Captain, you said last time that the location was not suitable." Xia Bai asked curiously, "What kind of location is suitable?"

Ling Changye smiled, said nothing, and stretched out his hands to him.

Xia Bai jumped into his arms and got up.

When he came out of the dormitory, Hua Haoming was standing in the corridor, with a look of confusion on his face. Xia Bai thought he had heard what he and the captain said, but he knew why he was like that after seeing what was said in front of him.

Yang Yi was walking out with Yang Mei on his back. Maybe Yang Mei's facial muscles hadn't adapted to the brain signals, so she smiled even more stupidly.

“…”

Xia Bai was the first to jog after them and asked happily, "Are you guys reconciled?"

Yang Mei probably didn't realize what he was asking, she just kept nodding her head faster than a chick pecking at rice.

Yang Yi took out a card from his pocket, on which was written: "Don't move."

Yang Mei immediately stopped moving and obeyed.

Xia Bai: “…”

That is to say, from now on, the assault team only needs to take care of the second child, and not the eldest child.

It’s a bit sad to say.

Ling Changye also caught up with them and asked Yang Yi: "Do you have any ideas?"

They all knew what he asked about Yang Mei.

"I analyzed the game mechanics last night, listen and see if I'm wrong."

Yang Yi said: "Before the first time that group of players got good results, no one got into trouble. In the ten days after they got high scores, we paid more attention to them. Only one person was a little crazy. He was the one who improved his score the most. The others didn't have any big problems. It was after the second results came out that the problems started to become obvious. In fact, there hasn't been a large-scale outbreak until now. In other words, there should be a safe period of about 20 days."

"The reason they have problems is because they overuse their brains, which can no longer bear the consequences. They develop brain fever, organic brain disease, go crazy, or commit suicide. This requires a process, which is the continuous increase in pressure on the brain until it can no longer bear it."

Ling Changye nodded, "That's right."

This is also the reason why he told them to use the school’s methods later, and to rely on themselves if they can.

"First of all, Yang Mei's brain speed shouldn't have increased as dramatically as theirs." Yang Yi said, "He started late, so he can hold on longer than those players."

They still don't know how much Yang Mei has improved her brain speed. They asked the players what happened before, but no one told them. They probably can't tell others, so they didn't ask Yang Mei.

Not asking doesn't mean they can't sense it. They tried last night and Yang Mei shouldn't have increased his speed too much.

"This doesn't guarantee safety." Yang Yi said, "We need to extend his time so that he can use his brain less. The greater the pressure on the brain, the more likely it is to develop a fever and lesions."

Through his previous analysis, they could understand this method, but in this game, reducing the use of the brain is not realistic.

Xia Bai asked: "How can we make him use his brain less?"

"First, reduce his movements and the friction between his brain and body. Then, he must take a break after studying our ten minutes. The brain cannot be used at such a high speed for a long time." Yang Yi said, "He will take a break for this exam, and with my tutoring, he will pass it without any problem. There are two remaining exams..."

Yang Yi said, "I will take half of the test for him, so he doesn't have to study too hard."

The three of them were stunned.

Xia Bai looked at the two of them carefully. Yang Mei and Yang Yi were brothers from the same father and mother. Xia Bai met Yang Yi first and then Yang Mei. Before he knew that they were brothers, he never thought that they were related by blood because their temperaments were completely different.

Yang Mei is soft and stupid, Yang Yi is cold and sharp, one is full of pink love aura, the other is full of calm and somewhat indifferent scholar temperament.

But putting aside their aura and just looking at their facial features, they do look somewhat similar.

"No." Hua Haoming said, "You look much older than Yang Mei."

“…”

Yang Yi walked a few steps with Yang Mei on his back expressionlessly before he said, "What are you thinking about? I'm talking about the face-pinching props."

Hua Haoming: "That's fine."

Yang Yi walked a few steps in silence, and his voice became lower, "But I only have enough points to buy one, and I need two for the replacement exam. Can you lend me some?"

“…”

Xia Bai thought he didn't hear clearly, but Hua Haoming asked directly, "What, you don't have enough points?"

Yang Yi said with a stern face: "You all know how expensive the items in the game mall are, and I have only downloaded the game five times, not counting this time."

That's true.

Yang Yi was so powerful in their eyes that they thought it was impossible for him to have no points even to buy an item.

But in fact, these props in the game mall are indeed very expensive. You should know that camouflage props are sometimes used as game rewards and given to the person who performs best in a game. They are earned with their lives. If they are placed in the game mall, they must be very expensive, starting from tens of millions of points.

Yang Yi had been studying the game, but he didn't like playing it and had only completed five games. It was indeed difficult for him to buy two, even though he had never spent any points in the past.

Ling Changye said: "Yang Mei is the player who ranks first in the points ranking. He has a lot of points, so he can buy his own share."

Yang Yi said nothing.

Seeing Hua Haoming was about to speak, Xia Bai took the initiative to say, "I'll lend it to you."

"Thank you." Yang Yi asked, "Any conditions?"

"Just give me back. I am also..." Xia Bai wanted to say that he was also helping Yang Mei, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his words, "Can you tell me why you treated Erwa like that?"

Yang Yi was puzzled: "Why did I treat Erwa so badly?"

Very good, Xia Bai no longer wants to lend him points.

Hua Haoming laughed angrily, "Don't you know why you were punished back then?"

“Who didn’t want to know what the anomaly was?” Yang Yi said, “The documents were sent down layer by layer, and the one at the top was Director Wang.”

"Besides, I don't think I did anything too harsh on Erwa. I just used the method of recreating the scene to make him recall it again and again." Yang Yi still insisted that he was right.

"Just?" Xia Bai couldn't understand and asked with a stern face: "You have also been maliciously studied by people from the underground research institute. Why are you still so lacking in empathy?"

This was also the reason why Xia Bai suddenly asked him this question. He had not wanted to ask it at first. But last night when he learned that Yang Yi had been studied by an underground research institute, he suddenly became curious. Since he had had such an experience, why did he treat Erwa like that?

Yang Yi did not hide anything and spoke slowly, probably because he did not want Yang Mei to hear, "I was studied to the eighteenth floor in the underground research institute, and Erwa was only studied to the second floor, so I did not think there was any problem."

Xia Bai was slightly stunned.

He considered this second level to be on qualified ground.

Yang Yi said nothing more, and they also arrived at the teaching building. After he sent Yang Mei to her seat in the classroom, he said to them: "I will be able to sort out the test points today, and I will give them to you after the evening self-study."

Ling Changye nodded, "Let's go to Yang Mei's classroom at night, study together, and supervise each other, which will be more efficient."

They all came to Yang Mei's classroom in the evening, and Yang Mei looked very happy.

The other people in the classroom had already left. Seeing that he was not worried at all, Wen Yuxin asked directly: "Can I use the method of increasing brain speed now? If I really can't do it anymore, can I use it too?"

"Give up your fantasy." Hua Haoming said, "You don't have a brother like Yang Yi to back you up."

Wen Yuxin's face fell immediately, and she looked like she was about to cry, "This time, I really can't do it."

Xia Bai gave her a copy of the test points that Yang Yi had copied, "Take a look first, and don't worry, you can copy them no matter which class you are in, your skills will help you pass."

"I can see that everyone had a difficult time taking the exam this time, and the effect of the stimulant isn't that great anymore." Ling Changye said, "I have another idea."

Hearing him say this, everyone immediately turned their heads to look over, full of anticipation.

Ling Changye said: "Before entering the game, I asked a few top students and teachers, and learned a method to maximize study time, which is not to sleep for a long time."

"In other words, there is no such thing as sleeping at night. Instead, you sleep for ten minutes for every forty minutes of study. Several students told me that this is a very effective extreme learning method."

“…”

There was silence in the classroom.

Is it a human?

Ling Changye carefully analyzed the feasibility, "Through the lectures during this period, I found that the teacher might be wasting our time. The more he talked, the more confusing it became. It is far less useful than the test points organized by Yang Yi. We can skip the lectures and use this method to study. On the most difficult nights, we can spend them together in the classroom."

“…”

Hua Haoming: "No, are you serious?"

Ling Changye: "Let Heihua come out."

“…”

Who could believe that they left their bed without even saying goodbye to it properly? That night, they were kept in the classroom by the captain who made people grit their teeth and started this inhuman learning method.

After forty minutes, they closed their eyes in almost the same position, as if they had only closed them for a second, before they were awakened by the ice. They rubbed their eyes while reading, with massagers hung around their necks.

Xia Bai wanted to bribe the supervisor with a kiss, but was ruthlessly rejected. Ling Changye was ruthless, but his voice was gentle, "Don't you want to surpass Yang Yi? You can do it."

"I can do it, I can do it." Xia Bai muttered while biting the pen, and finished reading half of the book in forty minutes.

Hua Haoming used his soft sword as a silk ribbon, passed through the electric fan on the classroom roof, and hung his head up, "Don't let him out, don't let him out, don't let him out..."

Wen Yuxin simply ate a bag of dry coffee powder and read a book while crying. Her eyes seemed to be less dry.

Yang Mei, Yang Mei was sleeping on the table.

It turns out that it is true that fools have good fortune. I am as envious as Wen Yuxin.

The Senior Grade 3 (3) classroom was brightly lit all night long. The light ushered in the sunlight, and a new day of study began.

Four days passed like this. On the fifth day, Xia Bai saw Hua Haoming wake up after ten minutes of sleep and smile at him. His smile was a bit evil. He only smiled for a moment and then lowered his head to read quickly.

Xia Bai was stunned for a moment and realized that Hua Haoming did not wake up after falling asleep just now, so it was Heihua who appeared.

He paused for a moment and then started studying again.

The lights in the Grade 3 (3) classroom were on for seven nights. After a good night’s sleep, they received their admission tickets for the first time, which contained their test numbers and test locations.

Xia Bai was taking the exam in his class, Ling Changye and Yang Yi were taking the exam in other classrooms, and Wen Yuxin was lucky enough to be in their class, and was in the same row as Xia Bai, with one person between them.

On the day of the exam, Xia Bai saw Zhou Peiman was still in their class, just in front of him on the right.

Xia Bai was surprised to find that Zhou Peiman seemed to have become a time speedster as well. Her steps were slightly uncoordinated, but her eyes were unusually bright.

Xia Bai didn't understand. She clearly didn't need to increase her brain speed to pass the test.

As if noticing his gaze, Zhou Peiman turned around and smiled at him. Xia Bai had never seen such a rich expression on her face. Her expression was not strange, and happiness and excitement were obvious, as well as a feeling of standing at a very high level.

She seemed to have found her excitement.

That time, Xia Bai saw what she wrote on her seat. Later, when he passed by her seat, he saw what she wrote on a card.

【Wish to swim freely, the body is the bondage of the soul. 】

There were a few people in their classroom who had improved their brain speed in the first elimination test. They were very obvious, with haggard eyes and stiff limbs. As soon as they entered the examination room, they sat down in their seats and said nothing.

It was the first time that Xia Bai was in the same classroom with them. During the exam, he couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

After such a long time, they had become able to write smoothly. Looking at the speed at which they answered the questions, Xia Bai knew that they had learned well. Two of them were sweating profusely while answering the questions, and he wondered if it was because of the heat.

They are like a machine that is burning out and about to run out of steam.

During the fourth exam, a player suddenly ran out laughing. The invigilator had probably seen this kind of thing before, so he didn't move at all, and many students did the same.

Xia Bai didn't even look up. He was holding the pen and answering the questions seriously. Suddenly, he heard a "bang" sound, and the tip of the pen stopped for a moment, and then he continued answering the questions quickly.

During the third elimination exam, four students were missing, and after the exam results came out, even more students were missing.

The results were still released at noon on the second day of the exam. At noon that day, Xia Bai had just walked out of the teaching building, and before he reached the bulletin board, he was greeted with a bottle of water. He tilted his head to avoid it, and saw a top student player pointing at him and cursing.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault!!! I could have passed the exam, but you didn't let us use the school's method!"

"Me too, I regret it so much! Why did I listen to you? You are the one who ruined me!"

"I told you at the time that this was a life-threatening exam. You had to be careful and increase your brain speed. Why didn't you listen? Look, I still scored over 680 points." A voice came from a cell phone.

"Even Zhou Peiman has increased his brain speed. Are you guys who are already at the bottom too stupid or too confident?" Also from the phone.

Xia Bai looked at the notice board. These days he had basically recognized the names of those top academic players. He saw that 11 of them had not passed the qualifying line.

Xia Bai pursed his lips and saw Ling Changye standing beside him, moving slightly forward.

Ling Changye said gently, but not gently at all, "I'm sorry for this result, but classmate Zhou said that we don't need to be responsible for your lives. You are the ones who should be responsible for your lives and choices."

"How can you say that! It was you who didn't let us find a teacher!" A boy with tears on his face shouted angrily at Ling Changye: "I am a student of Qilu University. Do you know how bright my future was? I have no obligation to participate in this game! Do you know how much sacrifice and contribution this is?"

Ling Changye's voice was still calm, "Do we have any obligations?"
