Chapter 10: Magical Gift

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

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.

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.

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!

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.”]

[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?”]

[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!”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “???”]

[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.

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.

.2 meters: a free drink.

.4 meters: a 50 yuan voucher.

.6 meters: 5% off total bill.

.8 meters: 10% off total bill.

2 meters: 15% off total bill.

.5 meters: 20% off total bill.

3 meters: all purchases free of charge!

.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: “???”
