Chapter 10: 10

Under the other party’s explanation, Chen Yu managed to learn about the effects of the three items .

Enhanced Memory Circlet: A one-time use item . Stimulates the user’s brain cells to increase oxygen consumption and increases the transmission speed of neuron signals . This speeds up and improves the user’s memory for a period of time, thereby increasing work and study effectiveness .

2

Microkinetic Basketball Shoes: The shoe cushion is made with Air Sole air cushions, which was a type of memory foam . There is a special type of air mixture in the shoe cushion, which returns a certain amount of kinetic energy when compressed . It helps improve the user’s jumping ability and decreases the chances of getting injured .

Precision Homing Slingshot: The slingshot has a 3D positioning chip installed and the bullets come with a special feature that allows them to automatically correct their trajectory . After taking aim, there is a 96 . 7% chance that the bullet will hit the target successfully . The slingshot can accurately shoot targets up to 70 meters away .

The three “gifts” were equally useful in their respective ways, but Chen Yu could only pick one, making it a tough choice .

1

However, as a senior high school student, Chen Yu had his responsibilities . No matter how tempting the other two items sounded, Chen Yu knew that there was no need to hesitate, especially when the National College Exams were about to arrive .

5

In the past, he had no chance . Now, though, Chen Yu only wanted to be a senior high schooler who was up to par .

Thus, Chen Yu moved his thumbs, keying in his answer firmly .

[Chen Yu: “I would like the pair of basketball shoes . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Very well . I’ll open up the wormhole now . Please place the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory in it . ”]

[Chen Yu: “Okay . ”]

As soon as Chen Yu sent the message over, the space right in front of him distorted rapidly, forming a white spiraling hole .

He threw the Uranium-235 Nuclear Energy Laboratory into the spiraling hole just like he did for the contract . Plop! A white box fell out afterward .

When the wormhole disappeared, Chen Yu rushed over to pick up the box and open it . There was a pair of stylish looking, black basketball shoes lying in the box . The shiny pair of shoes shone brightly under the sunlight, blinding Chen Yu with the reflected light .

“Cool!”

Chen Yu gasped upon feeling how soft the tongue of the shoes was . He then slipped the shoes on .

Instantly, Chen Yu felt the shoes wrapping around him, warmly and tightly . The shoes enveloped his feet, and it was a comfortable feeling .

He grasped his phone tightly and did some warm-ups before doing a small leap as a test .

Whoosh!

He was lifted off the ground instantly . He jumped so high up that his hands that were raised up high were at most only 30 centimeters away from the ceiling .

5

Bang!

Under the gravitational force, Chen Yu was pulled back to the floor . The next second, he managed to land steadily . It made some noise, but he did not feel much of the shock .

“That high up?”

Taking a look at the basketball shoes on his feet, Chen Yu was pleasantly surprised .

It was just a light jump, but it got him 60 centimeters off the ground . If he had actually exerted some force, he would be able to leap higher than 100 centimeters away from the ground easily!

2

A basketball hoop was 3 . 05 meters high up in the air . With this pair of shoes, he would be able to do a slam dunk without a running jump!

After doing a few more jumps excitedly, Chen Yu then turned on his mobile phone and typed quickly .

[Chen Yu: “Since this pair of basketball shoes is a gift, can I sell it off, then?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “No, it’s just for your own use . You can gift it away for free, though . ”]

Such a pity, Chen Yu thought, seeing the other party’s reply .

[Chen Yu: “How did you know my shoe size, though?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “After you were confirmed to be our partner, the company did some simple investigations on you, so we have some basic information of yours . Be at ease, we only got basic information, nothing personal . ”]

3

[Chen Yu: “Understood . I really like the gift a lot . Thank you . ”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Can I ask you something?”]

[Chen Yu: “Yeah?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “According to the information I have received, you’re a student, a senior high schooler, right?”]

[Chen Yu: “Yes . Is there something wrong with that?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Since you’re a student, why didn’t you pick the Enhanced Memory Circlet that would help you improve your grades?”]

[Chen Yu: “I’m going to have my National College Entrance Exams soon! Don’t you know that?”]

2

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes, that’s exactly why I’m curious about your decision . ”]

[Chen Yu: “You can score extra points if you can play basketball well during the exams!”]

7

[Transdimensional Marketing: “???”]

4

[Chen Yu: “Forget it . You wouldn’t understand anyway . That’s it . I’m going offline . ”]

Chen Yu shut off his mobile phone and went out of his room with the pair of shoes on . “Eldest, Second Eldest, Third Eldest! C’mere!” He shouted to his younger sisters who were in the living room .

“What do you want?” Chen Yike put her textbook down doubtfully .

“I’ll bring you guys to a restaurant!” Chen Yu waved his hands generously . “We’re going to have a big meal!”

Yike: “…”

Erke: “…”

Sanke: “…”

“What’s with that look?”

“Brother…” Chen Yike walked up to Chen Yu, waving her hands right in front of his face . “Are you sleepwalking?”

“I’m not joking with you guys . Hurry up . ” Chen Yu strode toward the couch in the living room, grabbing Chen Erke in his left hand and Chen Sanke in his right . He pulled them out of the door, not letting them have a say in his decision . Chen Yu pressed the lift button .

“Brother, are you really alright?” Chen Yike hesitated .

“Hurry! Lock the door and follow or I’m going to leave you behind!” Chen Yu urged .

Of course, his words to the salesperson on WeChat were complete nonsense .

1

Chen Yu had an important reason for choosing the basketball shoes .

Grades were not something he could improve in a day, so he decided to focus on making money first . Couldn’t she see that his sisters are suffering from malnutrition?

Ten minutes later, a worried Chen Yike, nervous Chen Erke, and dazed Chen Sanke stood outside a restaurant called the Famous Imperial Kitchen with Chen Yu .

Through the restaurant’s elegant glass doors, they could clearly see four words drawn on the restaurant’s marble floor—Standing Long Jump Challenge . There was also a colorful standing long jump diagram placed right behind the words .

1 . 2 meters: a free drink .

1 . 4 meters: a 50 yuan voucher .

1 . 6 meters : 5% off total bill .

1 . 8 meters: 10% off total bill .

2 meters: 15% off total bill .

2 . 5 meters: 20% off total bill .

3 meters: all purchases free of charge!

3 . 5 meters: 3000 yuan cash!

“This is it . ” A devilish grin crept onto Chen Yu’s face . Holding onto Chen Erke and Chen Sanke, Chen Yu made his way to the restaurant . “Eldest, hurry up! We need to be faster and go to as many restaurants as we can before it turns dark . ”

“Brother… . ” Chen Yike tugged Chen Yu’s shirt . “Stop fooling around, what are you trying to do?”

“Eat! What do you think we are at a restaurant for?”

“This… this place looks expensive . ”

“Haha, you have never been to such an expensive restaurant, right? Me too . Let me broaden your horizons . ”

As soon as Chen Yu entered the restaurant with his younger sisters, two waitresses in qipao standing on the side bowed and greeted them .

“Welcome!”

This greeting came unexpectedly to the Chen sisters, making them jump up in fright .

Perfect country bumpkins… .

“Sir, how many?”

The female manager standing in the dining hall walked out with a smile plastered on her face .

“Four . ” Chen Yu smiled and pointed to the big table that was next to a window . “Is there anyone sitting there?”

“No . ”

“Then we’ll sit there . ”

“Very well, sir . ” The female manager smiled and led the Chen siblings to the table . She placed the thick menu on the table and bowed . “Please take a look at the menu, I’ll serve you tea now . ”

“Okay . ” Chen Yu nodded and threw the menu to Chen Yike . “Little sister, order whatever you want!”

Chen Yike took the menu with trembling hands . After a moment of hesitation, she flipped open the first page . Her heart sank upon seeing the price .

“Beauty, what would you like?” The manager smiled, reminding her .

“Uh… tea?”

“I will bring it here soon . ”

“Oh . ” Chen Yike looked up, with an awkward smile on her face . “Then we’ll just get four cups of tea . ”

Female manager: “???”
