“That’s good, that’s good. Give me your email address. I’ll send it to you after I compress the file.”
“Okay.”
After Zhong Nuannuan dutifully recited her email address, the teacher of the training camp was concerned that Zhong Nuannuan might have lied to him. He said, “You said that you’ve managed to understand all the questions I’ve sent you, so can I test you on some of them?”
“Sure.”
Then, the teacher randomly picked a few questions and started to read them out loud.
This time, Zhong Nuannuan did not recite the question before answering them. She only answered after waiting for her teacher to finish reading the question.
After that, the teacher came up with a few more questions, all of which were related to mathematics and chemistry. As a humanities student, Zhong Nuannuan still managed to answer those questions fluently.
The person in charge of the training group was so overjoyed that he was about to cry. He said, “Miss Zhong, I’m admitting you into one of the ten final spots. I still have many difficult questions here, but when the time comes, students from both countries will have to fight for the chance to answer. The organizers say that the questions aren’t difficult. They’re mostly focusing on everyone’s reaction speed and the scope of their knowledge. Therefore, you only need to try your best to understand these questions.”
“Okay.”
Zhong Nuannuan could not be bothered to talk to him anymore. She asked him to pass the questions over and hung up.
Taking advantage of this brief interruption, Zhong Nuannuan observed the movement of the bug in Matchmaker’s brain.
This time, she realized that she could see some large brain cells.
Zhong Nuannuan smiled.
This time, forget about needing six years—she could definitely attain the same level of proficiency that she was supposed to be six years later in three months.
Zhong Nuannuan’s eyes never left the bug as she attempted to figure out how the bug survived in its host’s brain and the nature of its locomotion.
After observing the bug for a few hours, Nuannuan fished out a silver needle and inserted it into the outer layer of Matchmaker’s head—right outside the bug—as she tried to stimulate the brain.
As her needle pierced into the skin layer quickly and precisely at a speed faster than the reaction time of a stimulus reaching the nervous system, the bug reacted.
The thin, hair-like bug quickly expanded.
Zhong Nuannuan realized that some of the cells in Matchmaker’s brain expanded as well.
Under normal circumstances without the bug’s interference, inserting the needle into the acupuncture point that Nuannuan chose would have woken Matchmaker in extreme pain. However, as the cells grew bigger, the cells that should have shrunk did not change much. That was why Matchmaker was still asleep even though Nuannuan inserted the needle.
Zhong Nuannuan tried a few more times, each time more painful than the last. She realized that every time she inserted the needle, the bug would react immediately.
The bug’s reaction speed was at par with her supernatural ability. Once activated, not only could she use her X-ray vision, but she could also increase her speed.
The bug was about as fast as how she used to be when she was under the influence of her supernatural ability.
Due to the bug’s influence, the cells of the bugged people reacted much faster than normal human cells. This was the best evidence they did not show significant responses to pain.
The bugs could control the cells of the central nervous system, numbing the central nervous system to the maximum when their hosts were injured.
After she was done with the experiment, Zhong Nuannuan turned on her computer and saw that the teacher from the training camp had given her tens of thousands of questions.
Zhong Nuannuan, “…”
He truly thought highly of her. Did he send every single question that was available to her?
This time, Nuannuan did not print out the questions. Instead, she read them directly on the computer by opening up 36 windows at once.
