I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 9 009. Brain development!
After breakfast, naked except for a pair of briefs, Messer lay on the operating table on the second floor of the tree house.

As he breathed in coordination with Kuleha's finger pressure, he described the changes in his breathing and the subtle feelings of the energy flowing through his body.

He could sense a perception that seemed to penetrate his skin, flesh, and bones, scanning the changes in his body as he breathed.

Kuleha's eyes were indifferent as she kept asking questions and taking notes from time to time. This kind of naked investigation made Messer feel very uncomfortable.

I finally understood what I felt when I used my observation Haki to scan Garp and Kuleha.

How unpleasant!

After a long pause, Kuleha said calmly, "Okay, that's all for today. However, this kind of observation requires a long period of time."

"But you're really a treasure, your silent breathing has become another form. Interesting!"

Without asking the reason for the change, Kuleha only cared about whether the result could be replicated.

Messer stood up from the operating table, put on his clothes, and looked around.

The white walls and the items inside are neatly arranged, and some of the experimental equipment appear to be very delicate.

Some experiments are still ongoing.

"Doctor Doriel, have you made any breakthroughs in your bloodline factor research?"

Messer asked.

Kuleha: “What?”

"Do you have any drugs for developing the brain? You have some for strengthening the body, but what about those for the brain?"

A gleam of light flashed in Kuleha's eyes as she thought of the book Messer had read recently, which was full of conclusions and conjectures about various aspects of the human body.

"The brain is a very mysterious research topic. Why do you think so?"

Kureha asked.

Mercer thought for a moment and said, "After reading those books, I've been thinking about this recently. The human brain can only be developed to about 10% at most, and the average person only uses about 3% to 5%.

And it is recorded in that illustrated book that all previous users of the Brain-Brain Fruit were generally able to develop their brains to about 20%, possessing the magical ability to remember everything they saw and learn a language in an hour.

The book speculates that when the brain develops to a certain level, or a certain point, creatures will gain some magical abilities, possessing extraordinary abilities no less than those of Devil Fruit users.

"And physicist William Galen also said that any of humanity's wildest dreams have the potential to become reality."

There were many opinions about the brain development rate in the original world, and now, after reading those books, Messer made a decision in his mind.

"I want to explore the extent to which the brain can be utilized. I want to see if increasing brain development is a unique path for biological evolution. I want to see what organisms will become when their brains are fully developed."

It is said that Einstein, who once had the highest IQ in the world, only developed less than 15% of his brain.

The original world was ordinary, with no extraordinary powers revealed, but in this world, with all kinds of magical powers and resources, Messer felt that he would not be daydreaming.

Kuleha narrowed her eyes. She had been studying the human body and elixirs. Now, she had lived for nearly 121 years, and her physical condition was still at its peak. She could still live for a long time.

As for the brain, Kuleha said calmly, "It's a good idea. Although the human brain only accounts for 2% of body weight, it consumes approximately 25% of oxygen and 17% of energy. The brain is a mysterious and unknown area."

The human brain contains approximately 140 to 160 billion neurons, and the number of connection points between neurons reaches hundreds of billions, which is more than the number of stars in the known sky.

If you don't think about it, you won't know. Once you think about it, you will be shocked. Messer's point of view is refreshing to Kuleha. She is a doctor. She can't say that she is the best in the world in research on human body, but at least she can maintain the fourth place and fight for the third and second place.

As for longevity, Kuleha knows several ways and is constantly trying them. However, she has unknowingly reached a bottleneck. Should she try a completely new path?

then.

"Kid, brain development isn't some simple physical experiment. If you're not careful, you might become an idiot. And common medical conditions today don't involve that aspect. Have you thought it through?"

Kuleha asked seriously.

Kuleha never treated the little guy Messer as an ordinary kid. After all, ordinary kids at this age either play in the mud or eat and sleep.

Mercer said with a grin, "Don't we have Doctor Doriel? My skills aren't up to par yet, but that doesn't mean you can't. You're still young, and I'm still young too. We have plenty of time to study."

Hearing this, Kuleha was stunned, feeling a bit awkward and scolded angrily:
"You little bastard, you're so greedy, you're already trying to push me before we even start. I haven't even said whether I agree or not."

Mercer's face turned serious, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "What about you, Doctor Duolier?"

Seeing this, Kuleha narrowed her eyes and smiled: "You can ask me to agree to this, but you have to know that research can't just start with words. Funds, equipment, and materials are all indispensable.

"Do you have a lot of money? Do you have cutting-edge equipment? Do you have all the materials for experiments involving the brain? Regarding brain development, just talking about materials, there are precious and rare medicinal herbs, the brains of various creatures, such as large beasts and sea kings. These all require tremendous strength. Do you have them?"

Kuleha put the most realistic problem in front of Messiah.

If these problems are not solved, research on brain development will be just empty talk. Even if research is still possible, it will be at a snail's pace.

The purpose of saying these things is not to dampen Moses' passion, but these are the thresholds that cannot be circumvented. There is one more thing that Kuleha did not mention.

Even if Messier can gather all these conditions, he will fail in developing the unknown.

Looking at the aura emerging from Kuleha, Messer smiled, with a hint of arrogance on his little face.

A faint echo came from his mouth.

"I'm not even three years old yet, and I can defeat thirteen adults right now. I'll definitely be very strong in the future. I'll earn money, and as for the equipment, I have Xiongbao and the Swallow Swallow Fruit. I think I can synthesize the equipment we need. As for the experimental materials, once I grow up, those won't be a problem."

At this moment, Kuleha looked at Messer in a daze. It seemed that this kid had a unique and convincing charm.

"I'm crazy that I was persuaded by a little kid."

Kureha couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, and let out a happy laugh:

"Then I'll promise you first. If you can't do it in the future, I will definitely take off your pants and spank your butt."

Messer's expression suddenly froze, and he swallowed his saliva, looking depressed. "I was already grown up by then, and you had the nerve to take off my pants?"

Kuleha looked at Messer disdainfully and said calmly, "I raised you with all my hard work. I've seen everything I should and shouldn't have seen. I don't care, so why should you care?"

"vulgar."

Moses muttered.

Kuleha glanced at him and said calmly, "Say it again?"

"No, nothing."

There was nothing for Moses to do here, so he went downstairs, took the extremely hungry Xiong Bao out of the door, and headed straight for his vegetable garden.

Purple bamboo forest.

……

Two more days passed.

It was nine o'clock this morning.

Kuleha packed up and was about to go out when she said to Messer who was reading at the desk:
"I'm going to the Royal Castle on Drum Hill to collect the medical expenses for the past few days. You stay home."

Moses turned and looked. "Is it okay to go alone? Your rates have always been shady. What if the king has bad intentions?"

Kuleha raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly:

"In this country, I can go wherever I want, and the old king won't do anything to me."

Seeing Kuleha's confident look, Messer said, "Then be careful, but bring your weapons. It's worth millions of dollars, be careful not to be robbed."

"Do I look like a weakling in your eyes?" Kuleha said jokingly, "Believe it or not, I can make you call me mom with just one hand."

Messer looked at Kuleha and suddenly said seriously, "Doriel~ Mom, have a safe trip!"

The corners of her mouth twitched violently, and Kuleha laughed angrily, "Don't yell, you bastard! I'm not your mother. Call me Doctor Doriel."

With a smile on his face, he walked out of the door with brisk steps. Sensing Kuleha walking away with his observation Haki, Messer also stood up, put on his "Labang" jacket, and picked up his weapon.

Left a note for Kuleha.

Xiong Bao, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, made a "meow" sound, pried the door open with his claws, and was the first to go out. He carried the bamboo basket on his back and closed the door.

Leave the key in its usual place.

Walking on the crunching snow, accompanied by sparse snowflakes, the man and the bear disappeared into the deep forest.

Although pandas are extremely short-sighted, their sense of smell and hearing are exceptionally developed.

Xiong Bao has been exposed to herbal medicine since he was a few weeks old. Through this, he has developed the ability to find rare medicinal herbs.

Xiong Bao is smart. With his developed sense of smell and hearing, he can detect any dangerous creatures and never approach their territories.

The main idea is to quietly go into the mountains and make a fortune in silence.

In this regard, Messier let Xiong Bao lead the way.

Walking in the snow-capped mountains, medicinal herbs were discovered one after another. If he came across a suitable one, Messer would pick it with his experienced techniques.

If we come across something edible, we'll give it to Xiong Bao as a snack. The Magnetic Drum Island is not big, but the resources are by no means poor, and we've encountered all kinds of creatures along the way.

Today's goal is to collect herbs.

Don't do unnecessary things.

If you really encounter a blind bear, you can only send it into Xiong Bao's stomach. Anyway, with the ability of the Swallowing Fruit, Xiong Bao is no longer the bear he used to be. He doesn't mind eating raw or cold food.

There are many kinds of medicinal herbs picked, some are tree species and some are grass species.

The unused tree seeds and medicinal herbs are also given to Xiong Bao to fill his stomach, and the same goes for the grass seeds and medicinal herbs.

Messi is now definitely a qualified medicine boy, and Xiong Bao is definitely a qualified "trash can".

The most powerful thing about the user of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit is that they can never get an upset stomach no matter how much they eat.

Occasionally, I would run into fellow hunters and herb collectors in the mountains, but they would avoid each other early on, trying to keep out of each other's way.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Mercer and Xiong Bao also set out on their journey home. At one point, a rustling sound was heard from a bush not far ahead.

Remove the backpack from your back.

Holding the axe handle tightly in his hand, Labang with snow-white hair rushed out with his observation Haki.

It has the appearance of a rabbit and the physique of a bear, running towards us quickly on all fours.

The body length is about one and a half meters.

Messer narrowed his eyes.

"There's no other presence around. He's alone. And he's a minor."

A second before Labang was about to attack, Moser turned sideways and stepped back with his right foot, revealing the wide-open mouth and sharp fangs. At the same time, the axe in his right hand swung out diagonally.

Pfft!

Following its forward inertia, the axe blade chopped off its neck, cutting off its throat, and a handful of scarlet blood splashed out.

Moses and Laban missed each other and swung their axes down, shaking off the blood on the blades.

The posture is very handsome.

Messier turned around happily and looked at Labang, who was twitching all over in the snow. It was obvious that he was not going to survive.

A few seconds later.

An irregular crystal the size of a grain of rice, emitting a mysterious luster, emerged.

[Obtain F-level soul crystal*1]

At present, Messi has obtained a total of two soul crystals, each as big as a grain of rice.

Small animals like rabbits, or creatures below level F, cannot be used to extract soul crystals after being killed.

The same goes for small fish and shrimp.

Just like an ordinary human cub, its strength level does not even reach the lowest F level.

The extraction of the soul crystal means that Labang is dead.

Mercer came closer and looked at it carefully. The fur was shiny and flawless white, and it was a good material for making clothes.

Taking a scalpel from the inner pocket of Laban's fur coat, Messer began to cut along the midline of Laban's chest.

The classification of medicine is very complicated, with many subjects, including the surgical specialty of anatomy.

Kuleha is absolutely top-notch in medicine, not only in her own medical skills, but also in teaching.

Thanks to the A-level gift [Breathing], Mercer's use of his body has become more handy, his mind is calm, and his fingers are nimble.

With professional techniques.

The texture of the Laban fur was not damaged and Mercer peeled it off intact.

The remaining corpses were gutted and their internal organs cleaned out with the snow nearby. The clean internal organs were first given to Xiong Bao as a snack.

I cut a few branches to make skis and stacked the sorted meat.

Xiong Bao has eaten a lot of daily necessities these days, including ropes and saddles. At this moment, the ropes appeared, and the ropes on Xiong Bao's body were connected to simple skis.

Bear pulling skis.

Half an hour later, in Kesda Town, a ski resort on Drum Island, in a well-reputed tailor shop, Messer reached an agreement with the owner.

As a reward, he would get half of the precious Labang meat and make a fur coat out of the Labang fur he brought.

Come here to pick it up in a month.

Bring your invoice.

Sitting on skis, Xiong Bao walked out of the town. When it was getting dark, Messi finally arrived home.

The lights in the tree house were bright, indicating that Kuleha had also returned.

Open the door, bring the herbs and half of the remaining Labang meat into the house, and put them in order.

There was a sound of stir-frying in the kitchen. Kuleha was cooking when she heard the noise and said, "Little bastard, didn't I tell you you were home today?"

"I'm going to pick some herbs, and I'll take Xiong Bao along for a bite." Mercer said with a smile, "Doctor Dolly, I'm lucky today. I caught a Labang."

Next second,
Holding a spatula, Kuleha walked out with a dark face.

"Labang?"
