Can Rabbit Brain Still Be Nourishing?

"You were told not to try it recklessly, but you just wouldn't listen."

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing complain, Du Hao, walking behind her, scratched his head. "I didn't think that would happen. Who could've guessed I'd lose control?"

"At least it proves the method works." After all, that move compressed Soul Power, and its power really was immense—not even inferior to some formidable Soul Skills.

"You've still got the nerve to say that." The two of them were so tattered now that anyone who didn't know better would've thought they'd fought in World War II.

They'd had no choice but to head back to the dorm early to clean themselves up. They were practically too embarrassed to go outside.

"Huh? Why is Xiao Wu on my bed..." The moment he walked in, Du Hao spotted a certain rabbit lying on his bed.

Option One [White]: Hurry and save the silly rabbit in front of you, whose brain is overloaded.

Reward: Unstable Hypnosis Phone

Option Two [Black]: Do nothing. The rabbit in front of you brought this on herself.

Reward: 100 Ways to Cook Braised Rabbit Head

Looking at the options that had appeared before him, and at the book still in Xiao Wu's hands—Soul Power Control: From "Beginner" to "Buried"—

The situation was already clear.

Clearly, this rabbit had taken the book he'd left beneath his pillow last time and hadn't finished reading.

Now, this book was nothing like math. If you couldn't do math, you simply couldn't do it. Nobody forced you to learn.

But this book was something else. It didn't matter if you didn't understand it; you could just stuff it into your brain. It was the kind of forceful method that poured knowledge straight into your head.

If you didn't have someone there keeping an eye on things, ah, this stuff was no different from that Cthulhu business. After all, this book... just went on and on.

From "Beginner" to "Buried" wasn't a joke.

"Her head's a little hot. Her brain's probably overworked." Zhu Zhuqing frowned as she reached out and touched Xiao Wu's head.

Seeing the book in Xiao Wu's hands, the reason for what had happened was obvious. Her brain had clearly "shut down" from overexertion.

"Let me check. Hopefully, we haven't fried her brain." This silly rabbit was already dumb enough. If she started saying things that took brainpower, would that rabbit brain of hers still be any use?

As he spoke, Du Hao went over to Xiao Wu and settled her on his lap. He placed both thumbs on her temples and slowly channeled Soul Power into them, massaging her.

He'd learned the technique from Soul Power Control: From "Beginner" to "Buried," too. It could greatly soothe the mind and calm the emotions.

It should help Xiao Wu right now. After all, standing by and doing nothing wasn't in his nature.

That silly rabbit might be dumb, but she was still a piece of meat in his bowl. He couldn't let her go to waste.

"Will that work? Should we call a teacher?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern from beside them. She'd never seen anything like this before, and she was genuinely worried.

"It's fine. It shouldn't be too serious." When they'd come in, Xiao Wu's book hadn't even been turned to the second page. She probably hadn't absorbed much knowledge yet.

That rabbit brain should be fine.

After all, when he and Zhu Zhuqing had read the book, they'd gone through more than ten pages at a slow pace, and they'd been fine.

Xiao Wu's rabbit brain had probably just needed a moment to recover.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything more.

Under Du Hao's gentle massage and the stimulation of Soul Power at his fingertips, Xiao Wu's eyelids, resting on his lap, began to flutter.

"Mm~" Before long, Xiao Wu slowly opened her eyes and saw two concerned faces gazing at her.

"I... What happened to me?"

"You're awake? Does your head still hurt?" Seeing Xiao Wu wake up, Zhu Zhuqing asked anxiously.

Du Hao stopped massaging, too, looking down at the rabbit on his lap with equal concern.

"I think... I'm okay now." Xiao Wu sat up uncertainly and raised a hand to rub her head.

"It just feels like there's a lot of strange knowledge in my head. It seems to be about Soul Power..." As she spoke, Xiao Wu knitted her brows slightly.

She clearly still wasn't used to having all that knowledge poured into her mind. It felt a little strange.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, didn't mind at all.

As long as Xiao Wu was okay now, that was all that mattered. As for the symptoms she mentioned, Zhu Zhuqing had felt the same way when she'd read those books.

It couldn't have been more normal.

But with Du Hao beside her, she'd never experienced the kind of brain shutdown Xiao Wu had.

"Oh! I remember now!"

After taking a moment to recover, Xiao Wu finally remembered what she'd done.

"I remember, under the pillow..." Xiao Wu recounted how curiosity had led her to open the book.

As Du Hao and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, the same thought came to both their minds.

What a silly rabbit...

Did she think she could just read that book whenever she liked? Even after realizing something was wrong, she hadn't put it down. What a hard head.

"By the way, is this why you two are so strong?" After taking in the knowledge in her mind, Xiao Wu had also learned about its pros and cons.

She suddenly thought of the two people in front of her and their strength. Could it be related to the book she'd read?

"Well... it's somewhat related, I guess." Du Hao knew his own strength. He wasn't exactly the hardworking type.

His was purely the result of talent and sweat. As for this book, it was just an added bonus.

"So, could you two train me, then?" As she spoke, Xiao Wu climbed off the bed and wedged herself between Zhu Zhuqing and Du Hao.

Xiao Wu looked at them with sparkling eyes.

Her rabbit brain might not have been very sharp, but her instincts were always good. These two were definitely no ordinary people.

Seeing her like that, Du Hao flicked her forehead. "Can you handle the hardship?"

As far as he remembered, this rabbit wasn't one for hard work.

He could already see her giving up halfway to eat, drink, and have fun.

Even Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow and pinched Xiao Wu's cheek.

"This is going to be really tough. Are you sure you can take it?" she teased with a smile.

After all, that was the impression Xiao Wu had given them over the past few days.

Surrounded by a crowd and playing queen bee, Xiao Wu had been utterly absorbed in hearing everyone call her "Big Sis."

She didn't seem like the hardworking type at all.

"How would I know unless I try?" Xiao Wu pouted in displeasure, looking a little upset.

Just as Du Hao was about to say more, his system reward arrived.

Looking at Xiao Wu pouting in front of him, Du Hao suddenly had an idea.

He wanted to test the Hypnosis Phone on this rabbit and see what it could do.

"Xiao Wu, look at this."

Xiao Wu had still been pouting unhappily, but when she heard Du Hao call out to her, she reflexively looked over.

"What are you—" Xiao Wu hadn't finished speaking.

The instant she looked up, she saw a glowing screen appear in front of her, with a heart on it that kept growing and shrinking.

"Listen to me..."
