“Come, come, jungler, come and catch him!”

“Let’s attack him together!”

…

“Four-one zone. Hang in there, I’ll destroy the tower soon!”

“Damn, why are you all dead?”

…

“Guard! Guard!”

“Hurry up and return to the city. What the f** k are you doing by yourself over there!”

“Our high ground has been occupied by the enemy!”

“Enemy Triple Kill!”

“Enemy Quadra Kill!”

“Hurry up and run! Why didn’t you go back earlier?! Are you counting death? Noob!”

…

“Defeat!”

Looking at the huge “Defeat” on the screen, Yan Chong and Catherine looked at each other.

“I told you to come to the top lane to catch people, why didn’t you come! Also, what’s the point of taking so many mana buffs? You didn’t give me any! Our teammates are really too lousy!”

Yan Chong lowered his head in shame while listening to Catherine’s chatter.

In order to please Catherine, Yan Chong took out a phone that he had eliminated previously and taught this foreign friend how to operate the phone. Then, the man and cat started playing a popular game—King of Glory.

Yan Chong had thought that this was a harmonious and friendly game, based on the original intention of the Silver class big boss taking care of the new girl. However, he had underestimated Catherine’s learning and fighting skills. It could only be said that she was indeed a Legendary big shot. She learned things quickly.

Looking at Catherine’s nimble paws, Yan Chong carefully observed his long and strong hands and fell into deep self-doubt. You never know if your teammate playing games with you is a human or a—cat. The most annoying thing was that you were even worse than her.

“Ahem, this game isn’t fun at all.” Yan Chong cleared his throat and said nonchalantly. Even though he had already pumped a lot of money into the game.

“Come on, open this app. You’ll find a whole new world.” As he spoke, Yan Chong closed the game interface and opened another software. He spent more money on this software than the game.

“Qi Dian website?” Catherine looked at Yan Chong’s actions and also opened the Qi Dian app on her phone.

“Come, come, come. Look at the novels here. They’re much more interesting than games.”

…

7: 00 am.

“I’m going to school now. What about you? Do you want to go out for a walk? I’ll tell you the passcode for the door, and you can open the door directly. Unfortunately, your claw marks can’t be recorded into the unlocking system.”

Yan Chong said to Catherine as he carried his backpack.

Catherine was sprawled on the sofa, her tiny paws moving the phone screen beneath her. Her eyes were wide open as she read the text on the screen. She was engrossed in it. Hearing Yan Chong’s words, she waved her claws nonchalantly and said, “Alright, alright.”

Yan Chong shook his head and left the house. It was said that online novels could make people quit their addictions. From the looks of it, even Legendary characters could not escape this rule.

The air was fresh and the scenery was pleasant. After more than ten years of governance, the economy and the environment of Jiangdong City had improved. Especially the district where Yan Chong’s family lived, the greenery rate was very high.

He breathed in the fresh air and looked at the bright flowers and the verdant leaves. His mood became much more cheerful. Especially with the enhancement of his body’s status, this world was even more vivid in Yan Chong’s eyes.

When he arrived at the classroom, there were still many students who had not arrived yet. Yan Chong sat in his seat, opened his textbook, and began studying. Perhaps it was because of the increase in mental energy and intelligence, some of the previously obscure knowledge points seemed to have become much simpler.

Mathematics was Yan Chong’s specialty, so it was natural that he had a solid foundation. However, it was not to the extent that he could calculate the sums with just one look. Usually, Yan Chong did not memorize all the formulas. He liked to deduce them at the last minute. However, he still needed paper and a pen. But now, he only needed an instant.

The calculation of some values, not to mention the basic addition and subtraction method, could even be achieved through mental calculation. It could even be calculated to be more than ten decimal places.

“Could it be that my IQ is over 200?” Looking at his 2.8 points of Intelligence, Yan Chong was deep in thought. “Does it mean that IQ is related to Intelligence, IQ is the result of multiplying Intelligence by 100?

“However, that doesn’t seem right either. If I were to say that my IQ is as high as 280 now, that would barely make sense. But for the Mages of the Endless Mainland, wouldn’t their IQ be over a thousand if they had 10 points or even tens of points of Intelligence?

“Therefore, there must be a certain connection between Intelligence and IQ, and it’s positive, but you can’t compare them arbitrarily.”

Feeling that high school mathematics was no longer challenging, Yan Chong took out his English textbook.

Native language and foreign languages were two different things. The fundamental reason was that the mother tongue directly contacted certain actions or subjects and could be used for thinking.

Just by looking at the Chinese words “murder”, a normal person would instantly understand what it meant. There was no need to think about it and it would trigger fear, hatred, excitement, and other emotions.

When one saw the English word “Kill”, they would first automatically translate it into the corresponding Chinese word “Kill, Hunted” in their brain before understanding its meaning. Those with a higher level of English might be able to think of a specific scene, action, image, and so on when they saw a word, but this was still not at the level of a mother tongue.

Only by reaching the second mother tongue stage and completely breaking away from Mandarin would the foreign language barrier be removed.

But now, Yan Chong suddenly felt that he had reached this level. Originally, the difference in grammar and the limitation of vocabulary had made him experience the basic process of English—translation—Chinese. But now, this barrier has disappeared.

It was not just his ability to understand. The meaning of words that he usually could not remember was also slowly surfacing in the depths of his mind, incomparably clear. The words that had been memorized but hadn’t been consolidated in time didn’t completely disappear. They just slowly came back to life, like the deleted files in a computer disk.

“In that case, I have already grasped the legendary photographic memory?” Yan Chong was secretly delighted. He did not expect that he could grasp such a heaven-defying ability with just his status points reaching 2.0.

“However, there must be a reason why those professionals with higher intelligence and mental status need such high attributes. Those spells must have high requirements for their memory understanding.

“How terrifying must it be even when a photographic memory can’t satisfy this requirement?” Yan Chong secretly clicked his tongue and regretted not copying Catherine’s spell. At the very least, he would not be able to cast it. It would be good to see what was going on first. Unfortunately, he had only focused on practicing the Knight breathing technique yesterday.

At this moment, as time passed, the classroom became lively. Almost all the students had arrived.

Little Fatty’s voice suddenly came from behind. “Let me tell you, a lot of strange things have happened in the city over the past two days!”

“What strange things?” A girl asked. Yan Chong had some impression of this voice. It belonged to a short girl who often stole glances at him and blushed inexplicably.
