The news that Ling Yi's fever damaged his brain somehow spread.
What Ling Yi found most unbearable was that everyone looked at him with a misleading sense of affection.
This frustrated Ling Yi for a long time.
But he made up the reason, and his family believed it, his teachers believed it, and his classmates believed it too. What could he do?
As soon as Ling Yi sat down, his deskmate Wang Quan Ling Yi handed him two bottles of drinks.
The beverage bottle packaging also features several walnut patterns.
"My dad bought this especially for me, saying it's good for the brain. Here, let me show off a bottle."
Ling Yi's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately he was too weak to speak.
I simply unscrewed the bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
It was a little over 100 milliliters in total, and it was gone in two gulps, but I must say, it tasted pretty good.
"How are you feeling?" Wang Quan asked earnestly.
"Do you think this is some kind of magic pill? Besides, tell your dad to watch fewer commercials in the future."
"It doesn't work? I feel like it's quite effective. Every time I drink it, I feel like my brain is a little bit sharper."
That's just in your head, isn't it?
Wang Quan's performance was even worse than Ling Yi's.
Even Ling Yi, whose grades have declined recently, is still better than Wang Quan.
This guy's performance has always hovered around the bottom three, remaining consistently stable without ever breaking through.
No one in the class, no, no one in the whole school, has such consistently good grades.
This walnut drink looks incredibly expensive just from the packaging; it's a rip-off.
However, Ling Yi was too lazy to argue with Wang Quan.
Since they say it works, even if it's just a placebo effect, it still works. Buying a self- Hypnosis isn't such a bad thing.
Moreover, Wang Quan is different from Ling Yi; he's a bona fide rich kid.
His father made his fortune in real estate, and he caught the wave of booming business more than a decade ago, making a huge profit.
There are several hundred million yuan saved up at home.
Although the real estate industry has started to slump in recent years, this only applies to those who entered the industry in the last few years.
It seems that those who had already reaped the benefits of that wave of dividends have either changed careers or crossed over into other fields.
Wang Quan's father was like that; when he realized the real estate industry was declining, he promptly withdrew and ventured into aquaculture.
It's said that the business is still thriving.
Even if Wang Quan is the last in the entire school, he doesn't have to worry about the future. He starts at the finish line for ordinary people, so there's no comparison.
Soon, the bell rang for class.
Ling Yi looked at the Physics worksheet that had been handed out, his face contorted in pain.
He really can't do it!
The Physics formulas above looked both unfamiliar and familiar to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi fiddled with his pen on the test paper for a long time, but couldn't write a single character.
In reality, what Ling Yi lacks now is time to review the basic knowledge.
As for Ling Yi, he would have to start from the very beginning of the first year of junior high school to have any chance of catching up on all the lessons.
"Time!" Ling Yi murmured.
I glanced at the countdown timer on the system interface.
That unreliable system guide seemed to have said that after traveling to another world, one month would pass before one could choose to leave.
As for what happens a month later, there seems to be no constraint.
Does that mean Ling Yi can stay in any of the worlds he travels to for as long as he wants?
In that case, wouldn't we have time?
Although the time travel was Ineffective Transmigration, the fact that the memories were preserved means it shouldn't be considered completely ineffective.
For example, can Ling Yi bring the knowledge he gained in the different worlds into the real world?
If Ling Yi increases his intelligence while traveling to different worlds, will he be able to bring that increased intelligence with him?
What are some worlds that can enhance intelligence?
The NZT48 in the Limitless supply seems to work, although it has side effects and its effects are temporary.
But as long as it's not overused, there shouldn't be any problem.
Ling Yi doesn't aspire to be like the Protagonist in "Limitless," who almost became the supreme ruler. He simply wants to use NZT48 to master the knowledge he learned at school.
Let's deal with the upcoming high school entrance exam first.
Moreover, it seems the Protagonist eventually developed a version of NZT48 without side effects. If he took it himself, wouldn't that cause a huge surge in popularity?
Besides this, it seems that cultivating immortality can also increase intelligence, right?
Cultivating immortality increases one 'Divine Power and mental strength. With Li Qiang, intelligence naturally increases as well!
If that's really the case, then the so-called Ineffective Transmigration is no longer truly invalid.
This made Ling Yi extremely excited.
Unfortunately, time travel is random, and Ling Yi has no way of choosing which world to travel to.
Ling Yi spent the afternoon lost in all sorts of random thoughts.
In the Physics exam, Ling Yi didn't exactly hand in a blank paper; he at least copied down a few formulas.
His English exam went a little better; at least Ling Yi's English was pretty good in his previous life, and he passed the CET-6 (College English Test Band 6).
In the math exam, Ling Yi still copied the formulas and then wrote down a solution.
Damn it, if it's not a blank paper, what's the difference between this and a blank paper?
Back home.
Father Ling Zhan was watching TV, while Mother Cong Lanzhi was busy in the kitchen.
Ling Yi immediately noticed the pile of boxes on the table.
Brain-boosting powders and Wisdom pills—they're all obviously scams designed to rip you off. There's a whole bunch of them.
This left Ling Yi feeling both helpless and touched.
These things don't look cheap at all.
It's likely that it will cost at least several thousand.
"Dad, there's no need to waste this money. If these health supplements really worked, then our Ancient Country would be full of geniuses."
"Why not give it a try? What if it works?" Ling Zhan said.
"Besides, we've already bought it, so let's use it for now."
Did Ling Zhan not know that these were scams targeting people's intelligence? Of course he did, but he was just hoping for the best.
Ling Yi didn't say anything more. He knew that saying more would be pointless, and arguing about whether it was a scam was completely unnecessary.
I used it myself; at least it will give my parents something to remember me by.
Moreover, Ling Yi has Transmigration System, even if it's rather weak, even if it's an Ineffective Transmigration system, it's still a system.
If I ever rise to prominence and achieve great success, I might still be able to make use of these "stupidity taxes."
After finishing his meal, Ling Yi carried the large and small boxes back to his bedroom.
Under parental supervision, I tried out one of these scams, just like everyone else.
Brain-boosting powder is sweet; brain-boosting pills are sweet and sour; brain-boosting powder, when taken with hot water, surprisingly has a coffee flavor.
Ling Yi even suspected that the main ingredient in this was coffee.
Fortunately, it had sugar added, so it tasted pretty good.
Fine, I'll drink it like coffee from now on.
Seeing that Ling Yi had eaten everything, Ling Zhan and his wife left Ling Yi's bedroom satisfied.
Ling Yi sat down in front of the Computer, unsure of what to do next.
I checked the system's countdown; there were still almost three hours left.
We can't just sit and wait for three hours, can we?
Another thing is that Ling Yi needs to think of some ways to make money.
Even without considering the system, Ling Yi does have ways to make money.
One is writing novels. Although he won't make a fortune, with his seven or eight years of experience as an online novelist in his previous life, he can still earn several thousand yuan a month.
Besides writing novels, I also work on outsourcing websites, doing software development work.
Ling Yi was a programmer in his previous life and has extensive experience in programming.
When I have free time, I often take on freelance work from outsourcing websites to earn some extra money.
If you're lucky, you can earn ten or twenty thousand a month by taking on a few medium-sized jobs.
These websites typically assign outsourced tasks in a task-based manner.
Based on difficulty, the packages will be divided into small, medium, and large sizes.
Some highly skilled individuals can easily earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan each month through these outsourced tasks.
Ling Yi level isn't considered truly high; at most, he can only accept level 2 medium-level missions.
But this is the best way for Ling Yi to make money right now.
Ling Yi turned on her Computer, logged into the outsourcing website, and registered an account.
Accounts also have levels; the higher the level, the greater the chance of receiving outsourced tasks.
This thing also relies on efficiency, credibility, and reputation.
This is reflected in the account as experience points and level.
As a newcomer, Ling Yi can only accept small packages like express parcels and temporary parcels for the time being.
But even a small bag costs money. A difference of two or three hundred yuan or a thousand or two is quite a lot for a junior high school student.
Fortunately, Ling Yi had already obtained an ID card and bank card; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to pass the registration stage.
Ling Yi was lucky tonight; she had only been registered for a short time and had already successfully snagged three small packages.
The task was completed in less than two hours, and I easily earned 1,200 yuan.
And before we knew it, it was midnight.
The system's countdown timer has also completely reset to zero.
[Should we proceed with the time travel?]
A yes/no option appeared in front of Ling Yi.
"Time travel!"
As soon as Ling Yi gave the order, his figure vanished from the spot.
A slight dizziness came over him, and when Ling Yi came to his senses, he was already lying in a hospital bed.
Before Ling Yi Ling Yi could even observe his surroundings, a line of text prompts flashed before his eyes.
[Your name is Ling Yi. You are a sophomore at Tongchai University Baihai City, majoring in Computer Science. You are also a member of the Tongchai University's Taekwondo Club.]
[This morning, you sparred with Ms. Hu Yifei, your Taekwondo Club instructor, and were knocked unconscious by Hu Yifei kick. You were then taken to the school clinic.]
[Your dorm room is 2F402. Your roommates' names are Deng Hai, Gao Tianyu, and Lin Jiang!]
Below the text, photos of Deng Hai, Gao Tianyu, and Lin Jiang were also provided.
Judging from his appearance, Deng Hai was very handsome, wore small glasses, and had the look of a refined scoundrel.
Gao Tianyu, on the other hand, has a rather thin face, a large nose, and a slightly protruding mouth, making him look like someone who doesn't seem like a good person.
Lin Jiang was a chubby boy with a fat face and a bald head. His most distinctive feature was his very small eyes.
[You're an orphan, grew up in an orphanage, and are 19 years old this year. Your tuition fees are covered by part-time jobs, so your life is rather frugal.]
[School is about to start summer break, and you're worried about finding a place to live after the holidays.]
The text ends here. Ling Yi scratched his head. "Damn, that's all?"
That's way too easy!
Wait, no, Hu Yifei? Which Hu Yifei? Could this world be the world of Love Apartment?
Just then, the door to the infirmary was pushed open, and a bright and beautiful figure walked in.
Upon seeing this figure, Ling Yi officially confirmed that he had transmigrated into the world of Love Apartment.
