Chapter 1223: Chapter 1223: Double the Power, Step onto the Continent of Stortia_1

A week after the drug trial, on the seventh morning, when the sky was just beginning to brighten, Chloe Collins jerked awake in bed, drenched in sweat, her hands subconsciously clamping over her ears.

In her dream, she had been chased by thousands of monks chanting sutras, which was disturbingly annoying. She had tried to dodge them everywhere, but in the end she could not escape their ’Five Finger Mountain’, like the Monkey King being suppressed under a mountain.

Once suppressed, those thousands of monks each raised a Buddha’s hand, read sutras incessantly with intense gazes, and the buzzing sound roared in her head, almost driving her mad.

She woke up abruptly, sat dazed for a while, then her vacant eyes suddenly refocused, tensing slightly.

Not long after, she became accustomed to it, turned on the light, opened the drawer next to her, and found the hearing aid she hadn’t used for a week and put it on.

After putting it on, she frowned slightly, not being fully satisfied.

In the past, as long as she wore the hearing aid, her hearing was almost the same as a normal person. But now, it had been reduced by half.

The chaotic and noisy sounds she had just heard were still present, just dulled.

She finally realized that not only had her abilities returned, but they had also doubled.

If she used to be able to hear things from kilometers away, now it was two, or even three kilometers.

In terms of sense of smell, she could now even detect the scents from the commercial street outside the community, and distinguish which breakfast shop had opened and which one was still cooking the soup base. What ingredients they were using...

A complex mix of fragrances, occasionally interrupted by the stench from the public toilets in the nearby park.

She got out of bed, lit some aromatherapy, and it got a bit better.

At breakfast, she called Albert Green and explained her current condition.

After hearing all of this, Albert Green stayed silent for a while, then said, "I should study the things that Mr. White brought back."

This time, strictly speaking, was still a failure.

They couldn’t figure out why Chloe Collins’ abilities had doubled, and they didn’t know if it was a good or a bad thing.

Later in the day, Chloe Collins went to the laboratory for a full-body exam and the results were encouraging.

Her abilities had returned, but data on her heart rate and other parameters were still at the level of a normal person.

This result lifted the spirits of the team members in the lab.

That evening, Chloe Collins hosted a celebration, also allowing everyone to relax and unwind.

With her condition improved, Chloe Collins took a vacation the next day and went to the Continent of Stortia with Alexander Foster.

-

Continent of Stortia.

There are 12 large and small countries on this continent, all of which are constitutional monarchies. Among them, Anstolas ranks first in strength.

The Yorks hold a distinguished position in Anstolas, being a first-class hereditary aristocracy, hereditary dukes, the current Duke of the York Estate being Mane York’s grandfather.

The Duke’s Mansion was full of joy in the morning, decorated in a very cute style everywhere.

Just because the master’s beloved granddaughter was about to return, he had ordered the mansion to be decorated in the way his granddaughter liked.

In the evening, people invited by the master arrived on time, and most were in the hall reporting to the master and others on Mane York’s learning progress, mostly words of praise. As Mane York was returning for the International Art Exhibition, the master took this opportunity to invite a few private tutors for a thank-you dinner, also seizing the chance to understand his granddaughter’s learning situation.

Outside in the courtyard, a man and a woman chatted under a tree. The man was in his forties or fifties, named Jerry River, and the woman was well-maintained that she looked about thirty-five, but in reality, she needed to add another ten years, named Jixiang.

Both were Mane York’s private tutors, one taught ancient martial arts and the other taught painting. The two were both from Grearon, hence they got along quite well.
