But Ling Yi was still not satisfied.
The Intelligence-Enhancing series of potions only temporarily boost intelligence, and the effect is too short-lived. Most importantly, they have side effects.
Don't assume that eating more means there won't be side effects.
Eating too much will greatly increase the burden on the digestive system, and over time, it will lead to common gastrointestinal diseases.
However, after his final bout of Intelligence-Opening Potion, Ling Yi stopped taking the medication thirtieth year later.
Because, in the past ten years, Ling Yi Ling Yi developed the more potent Intelligence-Opening No. 3, and the Intelligence-Opening No. 4, which is almost indistinguishable from poison.
The Intelligence-Opening No. 3 boosts intelligence by two times, but only for half an hour. After that, the hunger becomes unbearable.
Most people simply couldn't handle it.
Ling Yi Ling Yi couldn't take it either, but he could play around with burning techniques and just die. Anyway, every time he died, he would be fully Resurrection.
Ling Yi used Intelligence-Opening No. 3 like crazy, completely Ignore the side effects, and forcibly developed the Intelligence-Opening Potion Ultimate Version, namely Intelligence-Opening No. 4.
After taking it, it can boost intelligence by 10 times for 10 minutes. After that time, the brain will stop working due to energy overload.
Fortunately, Ling Yi has an immortality cheat, allowing him to Resurrection with full health after death, which is an incredible benefit of the system for Ling Yi.
Unfortunately, this benefit can only be used within the travel world; it cannot be used in the real world.
Why did Ling Yi stop taking the Intelligence-Opening Potion after the thirtieth year?
Because Ling Yi has basically learned everything he should and shouldn't have learned.
Ling Yi has learned more than sixty languages alone, and Ling Yi has also mastered various subjects to a high level.
Biology, medicine, chemistry, Quantum Physics, genetics, geology, and so on...
However, Ling Yi also discovered a problem with himself.
This intellectual boost can only amplify his learning ability, but his innovation or creative ability remains at the level of an average person.
Ling Yi finally understood one thing: high intelligence only means Li Qiang, but it does not mean that one is a genius.
True genius lies in creativity, especially the kind of creativity that creates something from nothing.
Many people throughout history have surpassed Einstein in intelligence.
But there is only one Einstein in this world.
With nothing left to learn and unable to break through his current limitations, Ling Yi naturally stopped using the intelligence-boosting drugs to suffer.
Ling Yi has lived in the world of Love Apartment for a full fifty years.
Ling Yi has had a fulfilling and happy fifty years.
He and Tang Youyou supported each other through thick and thin, growing old together.
She had three children: two sons and one daughter.
Her two sons went into politics and business, while her daughter became a household name.
Both of his sons are already married and each has given Ling Yi a grandson.
That year, Ling Yi was 69 years old, Tang Youyou was 73 years old, and Ling Yi was 69 years old.
That year, both Ling Yi and Tang Youyou were getting old.
However, Ling Yi looked much younger than Tang Youyou, appearing to be only in his thirties or forties.
Because every time Ling Yi takes a break, he returns to his best state at 19 years old.
When he was almost forty-nine years old, in his thirtieth year, Ling Yi had his last episode, returning to the age of 19.
For the next twenty years, although Ling Yi was 60 years old, his actual biological age was only 39.
However, Ling Yi has a cheat code, while Tang Youyou does not.
Six months ago, Tang Youyou was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. After catching a cold, she became bedridden.
Ling Yi knew very well that Tang Youyou's time was running out.
Love Apartment World, July 22, 2058, 9:00 AM.
Tang Youyou, who had been in a daze, regained her senses for the first time.
" Ling Yi, so many years have passed, and you're still so handsome." Tang Youyou looked at Ling Yi from her hospital bed, her eyes filled with longing and reluctance.
"Am I ugly right now?" Tang Youyou asked.
Ling Yi held her hand, unable to hold back his tears.
"No, you're not ugly, not ugly at all," Ling Yi said, choking back tears.
" Ling Yi, I'm sorry, please forgive my selfishness." Tang Youyou tremblingly reached out and stroked Ling Yi's cheek.
"It was me who forced you to stay in this world with me for fifty years; it was me who made you endure this pain you shouldn't have had to suffer."
"I have been very happy these past fifty years, every single moment of which has been filled with happiness."
"I am also very happy. If I had left fifty years ago, that would have been true regret," Ling Yi said, shaking his head.
"Didn't you say that I could never find a girlfriend or wife as beautiful as you in the real world?"
A faint smile appeared on Tang Youyou's face, a serene smile, especially her two dimples, which were still as beautiful as ever.
In a moment of realization, Ling Yi seemed to see Tang Youyou in her younger days.
But Tang Youyou's breathing grew weaker and weaker.
" Ling Yi, thank you!" Tang Youyou said softly, almost inaudibly, before slowly closing her eyes.
Ling Yi felt as if his heart was being torn apart at that moment.
Although he had anticipated this moment, Ling Yi still found it difficult to bear when it actually arrived.
Ling Yi wasn't the only one in the ward; Zeng Xiaoxian, Hu Yifei, Lu Zhanbo, Lü Ziqiao were also there.
However, Chen Meijia and Lin Wanyu did not appear; they had passed away two years prior.
By now, Zeng Xiaoxian and the others had all become old men and women, but their health was still relatively good, and they could probably live for another three to five years.
Zeng Xiaoxian walked over and patted Ling Yi on the shoulder, but didn't say a word.
Over the next week, Ling Yi handled Tang Youyou's funeral arrangements and completed the cleanup work in this world.
He left a letter for each of his two sons and one daughter, and also made a will.
Then they returned to room 3702 of the Love Apartment.
Thirty years ago, Ling Yi and Tang Youyou moved out of Love Apartment and bought a villa outside.
However, Ling Yi kept apartment 3702 and even bought it.
Occasionally, I'll come back with Tang Youyou to stay for a couple of days and reminisce about the past.
Now that Ling Yi has returned here, he is all alone.
Looking at their wedding photo on the wall, Ling Yi could no longer hold back her tears. She curled up on the sofa and cried her heart out.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yi gradually fell asleep amidst sobs.
When I woke up again, it was already three in the morning.
Ling Yi wiped away his tears, opened the rudimentary system interface, and prepared to return.
But just as I was about to click the "Return" button, I stopped.
His current state of mind is not suitable for a return to normalcy.
Family members will inevitably notice something is wrong.
Moreover, the fifty-year time gap has made Ling Yi's memories of the real world much more blurred.
He needs to get back into the swing of things.
"I must never get involved in relationships again after time-traveling," Ling Yi murmured with a bitter smile.
Ling Yi never wanted to experience that kind of pain of separation and death again.
But Ling Yi's gains in this world were also considerable.
The knowledge he gained, especially from his mind, was Ling Yi's greatest achievement in this world.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi ran to the storage room, rummaged around for a while, and found a box.
Inside the box were the complete set of junior high school textbooks.
Ling Yi casually opened a copy of the second semester of eighth grade Chinese textbook, and after just one glance, the relevant content immediately came to mind.
Clearly, Ling Yi's memory is very reliable; he has not forgotten what he has seen over time.
But Ling Yi still managed to read through all the textbooks over the next few days.
Then, Ling Yi chose to return.
In the real world, it's 00:00:15.
Ling Yi's figure suddenly appeared.
I checked the time on my phone and then tried to recall the memories in my mind.
Ling Yi still retains all the knowledge he learned in the world of Love Apartment.
But in Ling Yi's mind, the image most deeply imprinted was still Tang Youyou's.
Yes, fifty years of love, fifty years of mutual support, how could I possibly forget?
Looking at the system interface, the time travel countdown reappeared.
However, Ling Yi doesn't plan to time travel these next few days.
He needs to adjust his mood.
Ling Yi tossed his phone aside and collapsed onto the bed.
At seven o'clock the next day, there was a knock on Ling Yi's bedroom door.
"You brat, it's past seven o'clock. If you don't get up soon, you'll be late for school." Cong Lanzhi outside the door.
Ling Yi opened his eyes groggily, only to realize that he was no longer in the world of Love Apartment.
At this moment, Ling Yi had the illusion that he couldn't distinguish which world he had traveled to and which was the real world.
Shaking his head, Ling Yi changed his clothes before opening the door.
"I put it on your table earlier. The factory is going to be busy these next few days with inspections from higher-ups, so you'll have to take care of your own lunch and dinner."
Cong Lanzhi spoke, she took out two hundred yuan and stuffed it into Ling Yi's hand.
"Don't waste money! And don't forget to drink your brain-boosting supplement!" After saying that, she and Ling Zhan Haste left.
Ling Yi only came to his senses after the couple had left in a hurry.
He gave a wry smile and said, "Looks like he's really back."
Later the dining table in the living room, quickly finished his breakfast, and then headed to school.
As familiar scenes appeared one after another, Ling Yi's aftereffects of time travel finally began to ease.
The sense of temporal and spatial disconnect caused by the different times and spaces was truly unbearable for Ling Yi.
The world of Love Apartment has been around for fifty years, but in the real world, only a second has passed.
This huge time difference can easily create a sense of disconnect.
However, Ling Yi knew very well that he had to adapt to this situation.
After all, there are countless worlds waiting for him to travel through in the future, and he can only adapt and get used to them.
As soon as Ling Yi entered the classroom, the homeroom teacher Luo Hong, walked in carrying the test papers.
"It's weekly test today. Same rules as always. Put West City away from your desks and silence or turn off your phones," Luo Hong said, placing a stack of papers on the podium and scanning the students below.
I just got back from time travel and I'm already taking an exam?
However, Ling Yi's mind is not on the exam at all right now.
Instead, they were considering future plans.
The first question is, does he really need to continue his schooling?
With his current knowledge and expertise, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is world-class, or even surpasses the world's top level.
It's important to know that in the world of Love Apartment, the time before Ling Yi's return was 2058.
There is a 34-year time difference between it and the real world.
Thirty-four years is a huge gap in technology.
Especially in Ancient Country, the cycle was almost five years, let alone 34 years.
Whether in the world of Love Apartment or in the real world, the Ancient Country is the fastest-growing country in the world, bar none.
