Effect: As long as one took an Efficiency Pill, whether it was work or study, any task could be completed with high efficiency.
This was the second heaven-defying gadget Morin had drawn, one that he considered no less incredible than the Age Spring Rope.
If it merely improved the efficiency of studying and working, it would not have been enough to call it heaven-defying.
But?
In the official movies and episodic stories, Doraemon had used it very few times, but one particular use had left a deep impression on Morin:
After Doraemon swallowed one of these pills, he built an entire small island in less than a single night...
That was a whole island!!
In some ways, this had already gone beyond mere efficiency.
The effects displayed by this pill were absolutely far from simple!!
Genius Helmet! Strange Gadgets
After Morin swallowed it, he immediately felt the change clearly.
He suddenly felt that the world had become simple to him, and even the cultivation of Nen ability no longer seemed difficult.
His previous studies and training had been like raising his head to gaze at the sky, the firmament, and the universe until his neck grew sore and his eyes ached.
But after taking this pill, it was like gently lowering his head to overlook the sea, observing all its magnificent waves without being disturbed in the slightest.
The difference between the two was simply incomparable!
Biscuit clearly sensed the change in Morin's studying and training state after he took the pill, and she could not help sighing again.
"Just how many strange gadgets does this guy have in his hands?!"
"And a lot of them look pretty good too. Even I'm tempted!!"
Of course, she was not shameless enough to bully the young and snatch things from her own disciple.
She merely taught him with even greater effort and in greater depth after Morin took the pill.
Even without the pill, Biscuit had already been able to sense how terrifying Morin's talent was.
But after he took it—
Biscuit felt that teaching a disciple could actually be this satisfying and fulfilling!!!
Since Morin could not be taught to death and could perfectly absorb and accept everything, Biscuit completely let herself go—study until you drop!!
And so, with the Gourmet Tablecloth ensuring their nutritional needs were met, she rolled up her sleeves.
From making plans to setting training requirements and goals, she gave Morin a strict and detailed schedule, determined to go all out.
Thus?
One taught him to the brink of death, while the other relied on Efficiency Pills to study himself to the brink of death.
Very soon, in just a few days, Morin felt as if he had been completely reborn.
Pakunoda, who had been following at Morin's side, felt it deeply as well.
Whenever Biscuit taught Morin these days, she also brought Pakunoda along.
To ensure Pakunoda could keep up with the pace, Morin specifically gave her several Efficiency Pills.
Although the medicine's effects allowed her to learn quite a lot and benefit greatly, compared with a monster like Morin, she was still far behind, and the gap only continued to widen.
This made her realize the difference between herself and Morin, and it made her admire him more and more!
At the same time, as her aura reserves grew and her control and understanding of Nen became increasingly smooth, she felt heartfelt gratitude toward Morin.
If not for Morin, she would never have learned such knowledge or improved her strength to this extent.
Although Morin was the Vice-Leader, and it seemed only natural for him to look after a member like her, from Pakunoda's personal perspective?
As their training continued, she grew closer and closer to Morin.
Especially later, after Morin gave her an entire bottle of Efficiency Pills~
Although that was because Morin had obtained a new gadget of the same kind.
Still, his behavior of not treating her like an outsider at all made Pakunoda's feelings grow even deeper.
While following Biscuit's training and watching the days slowly pass, Morin naturally did not forget his daily gadget draws. For instance, he was currently wearing a round green helmet resembling a motorcycle helmet on his head~
Gadget: Genius Helmet.
Effect: Once worn, the wearer's mind would become exceptionally clear, granting them the mind of a genius. Even the dumbest idiot could become a genius!
Well, the color really looked rather off.
Morin found some time to dye the thing yellow in the Canned Goods Studio...
Perhaps that was also the color of the thoughts in his mind.
The Genius Helmet and the Efficiency Pill had much the same effect.
Both enhanced Morin's ability to train and learn.
Originally, Morin had wondered whether he could wear the helmet while taking an Efficiency Pill, using both together to study.
But when he discovered that using them together did not improve the effect much and instead caused their effects to overlap, he realized that he only needed to choose one of the two gadgets.
Thus, he kept the Genius Helmet, which could be worn continuously, and gave the remaining full bottle of Efficiency Pills to Pakunoda.
They were all on the same side anyway. Lending a hand was only natural.
It was just that after Pakunoda accepted the pills, the way she looked at him became somewhat strange.
Besides the Genius Helmet, Morin had also drawn many other strange gadgets, useful and useless alike.
For example, the Dream Confirmation Machine, a gadget shaped like a little vehicle with a palm on it that could confirm whether one was dreaming.
Its specific method was to use that palm to pinch one's face until it hurt...
The Automatic Nose-Picker, a machine that automatically picked one's nose. It had a handheld portion, two bent supports connected to a pointed tip, and its exact usage was unknown.
The Magic Hat, covered in stars. Its function was to serve as a costume prop for acting. Wearing it would not grant any magical power, making it completely useless.
The One-Man Fighting Gloves. After putting them on, one's hands would automatically beat oneself up, attacking the face. They were dangerous and useless gadgets.
There was also the Automatic Beggar Machine, a gadget made purely for comedy.
Its function was to conjure a begging bowl and broadcast begging requests to others.
When Morin took out this gadget, its begging voice made Biscuit laugh at him for quite a while.
Superpower Training Box!!
After that, over a period of time, he drew several bizarre umbrellas in succession.
For example, an umbrella that rained the moment it was opened, a true "rain" umbrella; the Bat Umbrella, which transformed into a bat and flew around wildly; the Celebration Umbrella, which released fireworks when opened; and the seemingly ordinary but extremely heavy...
Weight Umbrella.
Morin finally understood how Nobita's father must have felt.
When he saw so many umbrellas,
he felt countless curses and complaints rising in his heart.
Fortunately, these strange umbrellas were not entirely useless.
Biscuit kept the Bat Umbrella and the Weight Umbrella. One was for training Morin's degree of control over his strength, while the other tested his physical flexibility and agility.
Their effects were better than nothing.
Fortunately, perhaps because he had been too unlucky lately.
His subsequent daily draws gave Morin quite a surprise.
Gadget: Superpower Training Box
Effect: It could train three superpowers: Nen power, X-ray Vision, and Teleportation. One had to practice for three hours every day and continue for three years before mastering them.
The Superpower Training Box!
Among Doraemon's gadgets, this was one of the rare miraculous items that allowed people to acquire extraordinary abilities through training!!
Morin remembered this gadget particularly clearly, so clearly that he even knew it came from episode 690 of the anime.
The three strange abilities were all superpowers.
Nen power was not the Nen used to manipulate aura in Hunter x Hunter. Instead, it relied on one's will to influence the objective laws of things, including bending or moving objects. The most typical examples were bending spoons and moving objects through the air.
As for X-ray Vision, there was no need to explain it. It allowed one to see through things, for example, to watch women bathing... Ahem.
Teleportation needed no further explanation either.
In short, all three abilities were extremely good superpowers!!
Mastering them would be no less than learning three powerful Nen abilities!!
Compared to that, the requirements for learning them—practicing for three full hours every day and spending three years training—were not too difficult.
Moreover, those time requirements were meant for ordinary people like Nobita.
For Morin, who possessed the Genius Helmet, it would not take nearly that long.
And so, with yet another Superpower Training Box to practice with, Morin's training life became increasingly colorful.
Time always slipped away unnoticed, especially when one immersed oneself wholeheartedly in certain matters. It would feel as though time passed even faster.
Morin's life was highly regular. During the day, Biscuit either taught him Nen knowledge and guided him, or threw him into barren valleys to experience the dangers of nature.
He learned how to survive in dangerous environments and how to strengthen his awareness of danger when facing the endless stream of wild beasts.
At night, he would stay in the Canned Goods Studio, reviewing and reinforcing what he had gained during the day while learning the world's knowledge that Biscuit taught him.
And whenever he had time, he trained the superpowers from the Superpower Training Box.
When Morin had not spent much time fully familiarizing himself with the barren valleys and the ferocious beasts within them, eventually becoming the valley's tyrant,
Biscuit took him and Pakunoda away, heading toward terrain such as forests and swamps.
In her words, it would be a real pity not to properly train someone as talented as Morin.
After forests and swamps came lava volcanoes, Gobi deserts, cliffside gorges, whirlpool tsunamis, mist-shrouded mountains, and countless other dangerous terrains.
All of them would become perfect places for Morin's training.
Once Morin became familiar with all those places, there would basically be no natural environment in this world capable of troubling him anymore.
The world was vast, and he could go anywhere!!
On the way to those places, Biscuit and the others naturally passed through many cities as well.
Sometimes they deliberately stopped to shop a little. Biscuit bought bags upon bags of things, quickly emptying the sack of money Morin had taken from the bank robbers.
In return, she bought Morin and Pakunoda new outfits.
A black trench coat draped over his exceptionally well-proportioned body, making him look elegant, dashing, and overwhelmingly handsome.
Pakunoda, standing beside him, stared blankly, her eyes going wide.
As Biscuit, that old fujoshi, clicked her tongue in admiration, she said, "If I had met such a handsome young man when I was younger, I definitely would have taken a liking to you." Morin could only sigh inwardly, Good thing I didn't transmigrate that early.
He could not handle an experienced woman like that.
Besides clothes, Morin and Pakunoda also specifically purchased a phone.
That way, they could use it to contact the Phantom Troupe members in the future.
This left Morin completely broke.
After returning to their lodging, Morin took stock and discovered that he had only a single ten-jenni copper coin left on him.
For that, Biscuit kindly patted Morin on the shoulder and said earnestly,
"How can a man not have money? I have one million jenny here. You can take it and use it first, but..."
She blinked. "When you pay me back, there'll be interest."
Compound Interest Bank, Openly Robbing People!!
