Chapter 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.

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.

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.

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

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: “???”
