Chapter 71: Chapter 22 Peak Brain_5

His tone carried a sense of grievance that had finally been alleviated, a sentiment of youthful dreams at last realized.

The crowd fell silent; why did he always think he was so dumb?

Meimei murmured, "So it’s brain enhancement? Makes sense, even if you enhance combat power, there’s no way to catch up with those people this time. It’s better to boost the brain; that’ll be very beneficial for the next time playing the game."

Liu Xu asked, "Bro, how many points do you have left?"

Gao Xin blurted out, "Thirty."

As he spoke, he also took out the thirty redemption points he had found on the short man, the last ones he had; the rest were all spent.

"Eh?" The crowd looked on in surprise at the three pieces of nanosilk redemption tickets, standing erect at Gao Xin’s fingertips.

Thin as they were, the redemption tickets clung as if stuck to his hands, swaying slightly yet never tipping over.

Then Gao Xin toyed with the three tickets, his five fingers fluidly flipping and maneuvering them, tumbling them over and over like playing with three sturdy iron sheets.

Yet, even with iron sheets, it would be quite difficult to manipulate them so deftly.

But Gao Xin did it with ease, without even glancing at them. Meimei couldn’t help but think of four words: "Skillful mind and hands."

Su Lei could only scratch his head and mutter, "No way, big bro, did you just enhance some acrobatics?"

"All abilities require the brain; it’s the source that commands all skills and capabilities," Gao Xin said, without going into detail, simply inserting the three redemption tickets.

He continued to browse the exchange list, listing everything that could be traded with all 30 redemption points.

He was set on spending the last thirty as well.

Thirty points couldn’t buy much in terms of strength enhancement; he had thought about buying some medical products, but even the cheapest healing item required fifty points.

What was lined up now were various poisons, or bio-chemical drugs with strange and rare effects.

Items like reducing heart rate and metabolism to make a person dull as a koala, or hormone injections to induce rapid weight gain.

Gao Xin even noticed drugs that would cause only dreams or nightmares.

"Hmm?"

He skimmed through quickly. Now he could easily achieve reading ten lines at a glance, instant recall.

His eyes locked onto a peculiar description among the psychoactive drugs.

"MindShift #1? Is this an experimental drug?"

"The effect is to shift consciousness to the right hemisphere of the brain, lasting three hours, greatly enhancing emotions, intuition, inspiration, and the subconscious? But the side effect is reduced calculation, logic, language skills?"

Gao Xin didn’t expect to find something among the 30-point redemption drugs that would greatly enhance intuition and inspiration.

He wasn’t sure what shifting consciousness to the right hemisphere entailed, but after all, it was a drug related to brain enhancement. Although it only lasted three hours, AIs wouldn’t use the term ’greatly enhance’ lightly.

"By reducing some calculation, logic, language abilities to boost inspiration, intuition, this effect suits me well.

"My entire brain has been enhanced to the peak of a normal person, so a temporary decline in certain areas isn’t a big deal, especially when I particularly need intuition and inspiration. It’s a good deal for just thirty points."

After thinking it through, Gao Xin decisively made the exchange.

Immediately from above, a needle as thin as a toothpick fell into his palm.

This was a nanoneedle, meant to be inserted into the body for automatic absorption.

And with that, 3,316 redemption points were all gone.
