Chapter 60: Superior Intelligence
Zhou Dalang and his two younger brothers brought back a lot of Ligustrum lucidum fruits, but they didn't know what to do with them.
Manbao immediately went to Keke to check the entry for Ligustrum lucidum, and found that the entry for Ligustrum lucidum had not been written yet, and the reward points had not been issued.
She couldn't help but wonder, "Koko?"
The system said, "Researchers are still conducting relevant research. Although there are some records in the encyclopedia, they still need to verify whether the records are accurate before they can be added to the entry."
It said, "Unlike the previous purple wisteria and azalea, Ligustrum lucidum also involves pharmacological knowledge, so the evaluation will take some time."
Please rest assured, Manbao, as long as the researchers over there have confirmed the entries, they will be uploaded as soon as possible and the points for this part will be calculated.
Manbao didn't expect it to be so troublesome. Doesn't that mean that if there is something they can't research in the future, she will never get any points?
The system, fearing a dampening of her enthusiasm, said, "Such a situation won't occur. To protect the host's rights, the system has set a time limit. For plants, it's over a month, and for animals, it's over three months. If neither the entry nor the reward can be determined, a minimum of one thousand reward points will be paid first."
The system said, "If the host can discover an entry that future humans cannot create within the time limit, that thing must be an endangered species from long ago. Perhaps the host will have all the points needed to buy potions for your mother."
Manbao's eyes lit up. "So great? Then tell me what species will become extinct in your future, and I'll find them for you, right?"
The system didn't expect her to think so quickly. Its previous host had also discovered this method quickly, but that was an adult, and she was still a little kid.
The system regretted saying too much to her and quickly dissuaded her, "Host, our encyclopedia's main goal is to pursue comprehensive species coverage, not just include endangered species. Therefore, subsystems are prohibited from conducting searches in this area. They only scan the surrounding area while following the host and then conduct a comprehensive collection."
So even two years ago, when Manbao sneaked into the vegetable garden and pulled up some cabbage seedlings for it, and it entered them anyway, the encyclopedia didn't say anything and still gave Manbao some bonus points.
Well, it’s just that the points are too few, so it doesn’t feel comfortable deducting its salary.
Although Manbao felt sorry, he also thought that the encyclopedia's rule was good.
However, since there is no entry for Ligustrum lucidum, what should they do with their Ligustrum lucidum?
Manbao squatted on the ground and watched her brothers carefully take out bunches of Ligustrum lucidum from the backpack and hang them on the mat. She asked, "Do you want to dry them in the sun?"
Zhou Dalang asked, "Look at how plump this fruit is. How long does it take to dry it? Besides persimmons, I've never seen other fruits dried. And persimmons need to be peeled, so does this Ligustrum lucidum need to be peeled? Persimmons need to be pinched when drying, so does this one?"
The most important thing is, why did they carry this thing back? Even if they were to feed it to his mother, his mother wouldn’t be able to finish it.
Qian Shi came out, supporting Little Qian Shi's hand. Upon hearing this, she glanced at her silly son, then turned to Zhou Erlang and said, "Erlang, tomorrow you go into town with Lao Wu and the others, take a bunch of Ligustrum lucidum fruits to the pharmacy and ask them how to deal with them. Ask them if they accept processed Ligustrum lucidum fruits. If so, how much would they charge per pound? How much would they charge per pound if they were fresh?"
Zhou Erlang agreed.
Qian asked them to put all their things in the woodshed to dry, and told them to be careful when going in and out.
Manbao said to Keke proudly, "Even if there is no entry, my mother has a way."
The system also said: "The host's mother is very smart. She is the smartest person in this family besides the host."
Manbao was very curious and squatted down to chat with Keke in his mind, "How do you know I'm the smartest?"
"Scanning. In the future, humans will categorize human intelligence into several levels," the system said after a pause. "The host's intelligence is not only the highest in Qili Village, but also within a hundred-mile radius. When I landed, I prioritized the most intelligent people in this area."
Otherwise, even though it landed a little off, it wouldn't have landed in this mountain valley. In the first two years, the system did regret it, but as Manbao grew bigger and cuter, and they got along well, Manbao obviously didn't regard it as a machine, but as a friend and elder, so it no longer felt regretful.
The most important thing is that the host is young, and intelligence will increase with age. As long as she uses her brain diligently and learns more, she will get out of this valley in the future. Why should she be afraid of not gaining anything?
The system defines Manbao as a potential stock, and has been worrying about it a lot in the past two years.
Now that she has officially enrolled in school and has a teacher, Koko is no longer under as much pressure, so she starts to talk more.
Chatting with Manbao, he said, "In your family, your mother's IQ is higher than your father and second brother's, while your second brother and fourth brother have the same IQ, and are the highest among all brothers."
Manbao despised Zhou Silang. "Second brother is fine, but how come fourth brother is also a smart guy? He is so stupid that he actually gambles!"
"That's not just a question of IQ, it's also a question of self-control," the system said. "I only scanned their intelligence. A comprehensive assessment requires some other evaluation methods."
Manbao was particularly curious, "Which of my nephews do you think is smart?"
The system was silent for a moment and then said, "No, Arya's intelligence is similar to her father's."
"Big Head, Two Heads, Three Heads, and Four Heads are not smart?"
System: "Their intelligence isn't even as good as your brothers'. Of course, it could be because they're still young, and their intelligence can be developed."
Manbao: It turns out that my nephews and nieces are all fools!
Manbao looked at her nephews and nieces with a look of caring for fools, sighed sadly, and went into the kitchen to talk to her three sisters-in-law: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, next time you have children, let the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother go to pick walnuts for you to eat, okay?"
The three sisters-in-law were confused, "Are we going to have a baby?"
Isn't this the point, okay?
The point is, "Eating walnuts will make children smart."
If they have another fool, their family will become a den of fools.
The system wisely shut up and pretended to have crashed.
Manbao didn't let it go, and asked it about the intelligence of the people in the school.
The system said, "The host's friend is very smart, with an intelligence comparable to yours. Your teacher's IQ is also very high, just slightly lower. However, he has acquired this intelligence through years of study. If the host and your friend can study hard and think more, you will definitely become even smarter in the future."
Manbao exclaimed, she was extremely surprised, because in her opinion, Mr. Zhuang was very smart. It turned out that she was even smarter than Mr. Zhuang?
With this understanding, Manbao went to school full of energy the next day, and looked at Bai Shanbao with a particularly gratified look.
