Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

They had no choice but to withdraw from the synthetic space.

Therefore, she became the first contestant to be eliminated, and she slunk away from her own creation space back to the contestants' rest area.

The participants on the field generally only lasted for half or even a third of the time they did in the morning.

All of this is because the storm intensity in the synthetic space has further increased.

Even Gu Yizheng this time had to be careful to control and protect his mind so as not to be affected, so as to complete his synthesis task at such a critical moment.

If it were Zhang Chaoqiang instead, what level could he reach?

Will he be able to successfully synthesize the fifth crystal core?

Or perhaps, as in the morning, even ten crystal cores were not within his grasp?

Gu Yizheng has never been one to compare himself to others, but there are always exceptions.

There was no way around it; the reason I didn't like comparing myself to others before was that I had always been at the top of my peers, and I had far surpassed most of my peers in the research institutes I had come into contact with.

It wasn't until a genius appeared, someone even he had to look up to, that he understood what comparison meant.

It's not that I don't like comparisons, it's just that I haven't met anyone I need to compare myself to. And now, I'm in that stage of comparison!

Gu Yizheng stopped thinking about it. After the event, he and Zhang Chaoqiang made an appointment to have a private discussion about artificial crystal cores after the "Concentration" finals the next day.

Zhang Chaoqiang originally wanted to refuse, but after being invited by Lei She, the director of the research institute, he finally agreed to spend an hour or two the next evening to communicate with Gu Yizheng.

In fact, he was eager to return to the hotel near the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum to bask in the physical enhancement brought to him by the Guangxuan tree branch!

After being exposed to sunlight yesterday, Zhang Chaoqiang's three-dimensional attributes—body, internal organs, and brain—increased by 0.02.

He discovered that under bright light, the improvement in physical attributes might be faster in some aspects than completing growth goals.

"So, Tan Yue, do you feel your physical condition has improved?"

"Hmm, I'm not quite sure..."

Tan Yue shook her head blankly. To be honest, she didn't feel much.

Indeed, Zhang Chaoqiang nodded in agreement with her answer.

If it weren't for the fact that one's physical stats could be represented very concretely through data, an improvement of only 0.02 points wouldn't be a particularly noticeable improvement, to be honest.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal that Tan Yue could not immediately perceive any changes in her body.

Even Zhang Chaoqiang probably couldn't have observed it so keenly; otherwise, this Guangxuan tree branch wouldn't just be a third-color-level spiritual plant.

Such a rapid improvement makes it entirely justifiable to consider it as the highest color, gold!

However, among the purple-grade spiritual plants, the Light Mystic Tree Branch can basically be considered one of the top-tier spiritual plants.

The only drawback is its limitations.

Only martial artists and demonic beasts in their growth stage can bathe in the light of the Guangxuan tree branches to enhance their physical strength.

It was sometimes bright, sometimes dim.

Nothing could be more enjoyable than Zhang Chaoqiang, Tan Yue, Zhang Huolong, and Shen Qiangwei lying together on the sofa watching a so-called 16K TV. Even Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were quite impressed by the ultra-high-definition TV screen.

At first, the high definition of the TV screen made them reluctant to leave the TV commercials.

But later on, whenever the TV series aired commercials, the two clowns would start causing trouble.

Ever since learning that Zhang Chaoqiang had brought back something interesting from the Bureau of Exotic Beast Investigation, they had focused their attention on the luminous tree branch that disappeared when approached and reappeared when moved away.

Even though Zhang Chaoqiang had already placed the Radiant Tree branch from the hotel living room on a decorative cabinet that was relatively far from the sofa.

However, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, who seemed to have ADHD, played with it whenever they had free time. Although they only had a short attention span, they were still quite happy to do so that night.

At first, since the frequency wasn't too high, Zhang Chaoqiang didn't pay much attention. But later, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei came up with a new way to play.

That is, the two of them are blindfolded, and see who can accurately grasp the boundary between the appearance and disappearance of the light-emitting tree branch, as well as the point where the light dims and goes out.

This requires a very precise distance between the person and the branch of the Guangxuan tree.

Even after being blindfolded, one still spins around several times, centering on oneself.

Only then can we set off.

They weren't satisfied with just playing by themselves, so they dragged Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue along to play too.

Because in each round, a referee is needed to pose questions and announce the winner.

Therefore, the more people, the better.

So, Zhang Chaoqiang, determined to suppress his parents' competitive spirit and quickly extinguish their three-minute enthusiasm so as not to hinder their photosynthesis, decided to take action.

I've decided to defeat Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong in this game and make them lose interest in the Guangxuan Tree Branch!

In the first game, Tan Yue acted as the referee.

First, they blindfolded Shen Qiangwei, Zhang Huolong, and Zhang Chaoqiang, then made them spin around five times in a circle around themselves. Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were already quite dizzy…

When they had no idea which way was north, south, east, or west, and could only rely on Tan Yue's voice to determine their location, she announced, "Please find the location where the Light Profound Tree branch is in a dim and extinguished state!"

Unable to distinguish the location, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were truly like blind flies, having no idea where the Guangxuan tree branch was located.

They lost their direction and could only guess by chance.

Although Zhang Chaoqiang's vision was blocked, he had memorized his location from the very beginning of the game.

Then, he could completely control the direction, angle, and speed of the blindfolded spinning.

Most importantly, as a martial artist, one will not be dizzy from a brief spin; otherwise, it would be impossible to control the advanced armor!

Next, relying on his familiarity with the branches of the Light Mystic Tree, he took his first steps.

No one present was more familiar with the Guangxuan tree branch than Zhang Chaoqiang.

My parents, supporting each other, somehow somehow ended up in the bathroom.

However, the tree branch of the Guangxuan tree is located on a display cabinet near the balcony, which is in a completely different direction from the bathroom that is to the right after entering the door.

Guided by his memory, Zhang Chaoqiang approached the display case on the balcony and stopped when he was within two meters of the Guangxuan tree branch.

Then, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei's voices saying "It's done" could be heard from near the bathroom.

Although neither of them knew why their voices were so loud, they naturally wouldn't have guessed that it was an echo from the bathroom.

Because they always have a mysterious confidence that they believe they are always the ones who can win the game.

"Please remove your blindfold!"

After Tan Yue made the announcement, the three of them took off their blindfolds together, and unsurprisingly, Zhang Chaoqiang won.

After their first defeat, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong received instructions from Zhang Chaoqiang:

"Mom and Dad, don't forget, if we lose more than two games, you have to keep our promise: you have to go to bed early and get up early this week, and you can't eat any unhealthy or weird food..."

And from now on, we must not interfere with the normal illumination of the light-emitting tree branches!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei felt a sense of crisis…

However, this did not stump the two who were somewhat clever.

When Zhang Huolong acted as referee...

"Please stand in a position where the branches disappear!"

Without her husband's support, Shen Qiangwei swayed slowly, and then, due to dizziness caused by spinning, she took several steps, which made Zhang Huolong shake his head deeply.

Wrong, completely wrong.

Last time, the two of them headed towards the bathroom, but this time Shen Qiangwei still couldn't find the right direction and ended up in their bedroom...

Similarly, the location and direction of the elm tree branches on the balcony display case are opposite...

Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue were already within one meter of the Guangxuan tree branch when they approached this position.

The entire body of the Guangxuan tree branch turned into an illusory state and disappeared.

Suddenly, Zhang Huolong, who was usually slow-witted, sensed that something was wrong.

He realized that this game seemed completely unfair to him and his wife…

My family's super strong are martial artists, so they must be much more powerful than ordinary people. How can we possibly beat them?

And so, watching Shen Qiangwei bumping into the bedroom door like a headless fly, her face full of hope that she could do it...

Zhang Huolong tiptoed up to Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue and took the Guangxuan tree branch away...

"Huh?" Tan Yue and Zhang Chaoqiang noticed something was wrong.

"Don't open your blindfolds beforehand, because Super Mom isn't over yet!" Zhang Huolong covered his mouth and chuckled.

Then place the guangxuan tree branch inside the bedroom.

Then he announced, "Please remove your blindfolds!"

"Damn it..." Zhang Chaoqiang opened it and found that the Guangxuan tree branch was not in front of him at all, and even the sandalwood base on which it grew had disappeared.

Without a doubt, it was Zhang Huolong who did this.

Meanwhile, in her parents' bedroom, Shen Qiangwei, having removed her blindfold, was congratulated by her husband Zhang Huolong: "Wife, congratulations on winning!"

Knowing she had finally won, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong embraced, as if a hero had defeated a dragon…

Tan Yue was somewhat speechless at this: "Wow, Zhang Chaoqiang's father is being unreasonable..."

"No, no, no, Xiaoyue, that's not right. What do you mean by cheating? There's no rule saying the referee can't move the tree branch. If it stays in one place, what's the point?"

The two remained silent.

Zhang Chaoqiang, who originally wanted to punish some of the parents, shook his head and decided not to affect Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong's mood.

After all, the branches of the Light Profound Tree won't truly disappear; they'll have plenty of time to bask in the light in the future. Let them play if they want...

In the third round, Dad and Mom followed suit once again. Shen Qiangwei deliberately placed the Guangxuan tree branch close to Zhang Huolong. With the couple working together, they were able to overcome any obstacle and ultimately won the game!

"It's only natural that a son is not as good as his father, Chaoqiang, you don't need to feel inferior!" The two parents quickly hugged each other to celebrate.

Seeing the couple showering Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue with affection, they immediately decided to leave temporarily and go downstairs for some ice cream or something.

When they returned, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei had already grown tired of playing with the Guangxuan tree branch...

I thought it would just be a passing fad, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly...

Thus, the two of them were once again able to bask in the light of the Guangxuan tree branch and improve their physical strength.
