After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 258 Enhanced Brain Abilities, Xu Lin Fabricates Oracle Bone Script, Second Departure to Ning Yuhan's Home
"Does brain development really exist?"

Xu Lin stopped typing.

There has been a rumor about brain development that lacks scientific basis: that Einstein developed more than 10% of his brain, and some speculate that he developed as much as 15%.

For ordinary people, the maximum is no more than 5%.

However, these claims currently lack concrete scientific evidence and may be rumors.

But perhaps it's not just a rumor, because science is constantly advancing.

Just like the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, which proved that quantum entanglement is achievable. You know, Einstein didn't believe in this stuff back then.

But that doesn't mean Einstein was wrong.

Because truth and falsehood can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. Truth can become falsehood, and falsehood can become truth. What is true today may be proven wrong a hundred years from now, and vice versa.

In short, human society is constantly developing.

The human brain is a mysterious part of the human body, and the scientific community has been conducting endless research on it.

Does brain development even exist?

Now, the system is telling Xu Lin that this thing really exists.

Brain capacity development increased by 13%!

Why 13%?

Or what is meant by "God's forbidden zone"?

Just as there are rumors about brain development, there is a corresponding claim that beyond the 10% of the brain that is used, there is a mysterious realm that is beyond the reach of current human science, hence the name "God's Forbidden Zone".

English name: God Forbidden Zone.

13% falls right in this range.

So, what's the point of strengthening the brain to this extent?
Xu Lin decided to take a look.

First is memory.

Xu Lin already had an exceptional memory. For example, he could memorize an article after glancing at it twice, or he could memorize it after lingering on it for three or four seconds.

But now, Xu Lin only needs to glance at it to remember everything.

After the brain is enhanced, exceptional memory directly becomes photographic memory.

Next, we'll discuss Xu Lin's thinking speed and ability.

At this moment, Xu Lin was able to think very quickly.

A math problem that is difficult even for Xu Lin is like a college student looking at a 1+1 math problem and knowing the answer is 2 at a glance.

Third, spatial imagination ability is enhanced.

What is spatial imagination?

For example, when you think about a geometric object, many people have a rather vague idea of ​​the various faces of that geometric object, which means they have weak spatial imagination. And this is just a very ordinary solid geometry. Xu Lin can now think about very complex irregular geometric objects and construct some complex geometric objects in his mind at will. This is an enhancement of spatial imagination.

Fourth, logical thinking.

This is a rather complex thing. For example, Newton was hit by an apple and pondered why the apple fell from the top instead of falling upwards, thus deducing the law of universal gravitation. This is called inductive logic.

At this moment, Xu Lin had already made up his mind.

"13%, that shouldn't have much of an impact, right?"

Xu Lin was a little afraid that he would become an emotionless robot.

Moreover, Xu Lin thought of Einstein. After Einstein died, his head was stolen and then cut into 240 pieces for scientists from all over the world to study.

From a scientific perspective, this seems to be something useful for all of humanity.

But there's an old saying that goes, "Respect the dead and let them rest in peace." Yet, in the end, he was dismembered after his death.

So, after about ten minutes, he stopped thinking about the problem and decided to deal with it tomorrow.

Xu Lin held the fragrant Ning Yuhan in his arms, buried his nose in the crook of her neck, and took a deep breath.

"It still smells delicious!"

Xu Lin said that his hands were also restless, reaching inside the other person's clothes and doing random things.

"itch!"

Ning Yuhan's face was flushed.

How's work lately?

Xu Lin realized that he hadn't asked her how her work was going. He had been busy with his own things and had neglected this gentle girl who cooked for him every day.

"Sister Linyue was very kind to me, and I learned a lot from her."

"What did you learn?" Xu Lin pressed.

"I went to discuss business with her today, and she seemed very capable and had a strong presence. She's really impressive..."

Xu Lin finally showed interest in her work, and Ning Yuhan launched into a long explanation. She had known Chi Linyue for a while and felt a sense of admiration for her.

The two chatted until after 1 a.m. before going to sleep.

The next morning, Xu Lin drove her to her company.

Seeing that Ning Yuhan was very happy today, Chi Linyue couldn't help but ask, "Hanhan, why are you so happy today?"

“My husband brought me here, and I’m very happy.”

"What about him?"

"He went home and got busy."

That heartless person, they're downstairs and they don't even come up for a seat.

Chi Linyue felt a little resentful and speechless.

Forget it.

He also has things to do.

I just don't know when I'll be done with this.

Chi Linyue thought back to the summer after her freshman year of college, what she was doing that year.
It seems like they're just playing around, right?
Chi Linyue doesn't remember much about going to university, because she went to university at sixteen, and at seventeen, which was around this time nine years ago, during summer vacation.

Nine years is enough to smooth over many things, and Chi Linyue's memories have begun to fade.

but.

At this age, most people are probably just playing around, unless they come from poor families. Maybe they'll take a summer job during the summer vacation, working for a month or thirty or forty days to earn some money and then buy some things they like.

Chi Linyue had no idea what Xu Lin was busy with.

Ning Yuhan wasn't quite sure either.

Ning Yuhan wouldn't enter the room when Xu Lin was busy, so as not to disturb him.

the other side.

After returning home, Xu Lin continued developing his code.

These are the last three languages, and Xu Lin faces the highest level of difficulty here.

After brain development, Xu Lin's thinking speed increased and his thinking ability improved.

The code level is naturally higher as well.

Xu Lin's typing speed is just not keeping up. It's still as fast as before, it can't go any faster, unless he has four hands.

Of the three languages, Xu Lin used Chinese, which is the most difficult.

Not only is the script itself obscure and strange, but Xu Lin also used oracle bone script directly.

Xu Lin didn't even use the existing oracle bone script.

With so many Chinese characters, is there an oracle bone script for each one?
of course not.

In fact, there are only about four thousand characters in oracle bone script, while there are nearly one hundred thousand Chinese characters.

Many Chinese characters did not originate from oracle bone script; they were created by the ancients over a long period of time.

For example, the character 曌 in 武曌 was a new character created by Wu Zetian.

Therefore, there were far fewer oracle bone characters than later Chinese characters.

However, this did not stump Xu Lin, because Xu Lin could imitate and create oracle bone script himself.

The oracle bone script created by Xu Lin cannot be input by computers because the characters themselves do not exist.

Xu Lin then developed a separate oracle bone script input method.

In just two days, Xu Lin created a thousand non-existent oracle bone characters, and even compared them with real oracle bone characters, achieving a level of perfection.

If this had happened before today, Xu Lin certainly wouldn't have been able to create it, but now, with his brain developed, he can create some special symbols and patterns through imagination and deduction.

Aren't oracle bone script just special symbols?
It's no exaggeration to say that if Xu Lin were to release the thousand oracle bone characters he created, it would cause quite a stir in the national archaeological community.

How did you obtain these 1,000 oracle bone script characters?
However, Xu Lin didn't just make things up.

After his brain was developed, Xu Lin was able to refer to the existing oracle bone script font library to understand the rules of oracle bone script character formation, and then work backward from the evolution of Chinese characters to oracle bone script, starting with traditional characters.

It must be written in traditional Chinese characters.

Because the scope of simplified Chinese characters is too broad, and the country carried out a series of Chinese character simplification projects to eliminate illiteracy, strictly speaking, simplified Chinese characters are not a natural evolution of Chinese characters.

So Xu Lin started with traditional Chinese characters and worked backwards, from regular script, clerical script, seal script, bronze script, and finally oracle bone script.

He pushed back one character at a time, but Xu Lin could multitask and was able to reverse four characters at once.

With the added speed and enhanced thinking ability, Xu Lin can deduce four oracle bone script characters in three to four minutes.

Ok.

To be precise, it's fabricated. Many Chinese characters only appeared later, so where did the oracle bone script come from?
Xu Lin currently possesses powerful brain abilities, enabling him to accomplish these tasks with ease.

Therefore, if Xu Lin were to release these thousand oracle bone inscriptions, aside from the fact that there is no specific carrier for oracle bone inscriptions, namely tortoise shells, animal bones, etc., the archaeological community might really have to question the meaning of life.

Xu Lin's oracle bone script input method only contains these one thousand fabricated oracle bone characters.

Without his two sets of tools, you wouldn't be able to type any code.

The last three languages ​​were taught using a thousand fabricated oracle bone characters and a specific oracle bone input method.

Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

As August drew to a close, Xu Lin completed the final three languages.

However, he did not release it; this was the core programming that he kept hidden.

"The coding work is finally finished!"

Xu Lin felt a sense of relief and ease throughout his body.

He started programming in Chinese in late May and has been working on it for more than two months, now in early August. Although he wasn't busy with it every day, he was busy most of the time, so he put a lot of effort into it. He truly devoted himself to it.

Today is Tuesday.

In the evening, I waited for Ning Yuhan to get off work and come home.

"I'm on vacation recently, where would you like to go?"

Xu Lin said, "I've been too busy lately and haven't spent much time with you."

"Really?" Ning Yuhan asked expectantly.

"Of course it's true, and I need to relax too."

"Actually, I want to go back to my family home and stay for a few days." Ning Yuhan was homesick.

"Let's go back together then. I haven't seen Sui Sui An An for half a year."

Xu Lin was getting a craving. "Do you have any pickled green beans at home?"

"Yes! My mom also pickled sauerkraut, pickled ginger, and pickled taro stems!"

"I know the first two, but what is 'sour yu he'?"

"It's the root and leaves of taro!"

"You can pickle this?"

Xu Lin had never heard of such a thing.

"Yes, it's delicious!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Yuhan became interested, saying that pickled taro stems and leaves are made by pickling taro roots and leaves, which are also fermented with salt and pickled for a period of time, resulting in a very good taste.

"Then I understand."

After listening to what Xu Lin had heard, he was genuinely tempted. After eating so many delicacies, he wanted to try something different, like some light and refreshing foods.

"Honey, will you come back with me?"

"How about we go back together? I need to relax a bit these days." "Okay!"

On Wednesday, Xu Lin went to the set of a Maybach movie.

Xu Lin hadn't been there for a while, so this time he was treated to good food and drinks.

In addition, this production team should be able to finish filming in about two months. As for the post-production work, that's their responsibility.

Besides, Xu Lin wasn't on set every day, so he couldn't really say anything and could only tell him that it was good enough.

Plans can't keep up with changes, and Xu Lin hadn't expected to be this busy lately.

On Thursday and Friday, Xu Lin was at the filming location of "The Great Jing Dynasty," and he drove there as well.

In August, the weather was very hot.

The temperature here can reach 40 degrees Celsius during the day.

Xu Lin was feeling very uncomfortable, but he still stayed with the crew for more than a day.

They were also treated to good food and drinks.

There was no other way; Xu Lin hadn't been here for a long time, and he needed to learn the ins and outs of life.

He was incredibly busy.

After these two dramas, Xu Lin estimated that he would not be involved in any more TV dramas. Even if he were, he would not be a screenwriter. Selling scripts or being an investor would be fine.

Besides, he doesn't go often, and he has a lot of things to do afterwards.
Xu Lin returned home at 12:30 a.m. on Friday night, looking travel-worn.

Ning Yuhan was still waiting for him.

Because Ning Yuhan had asked Xu Lin in advance when and where he would arrive.

So the moment Xu Lin returned home, he smelled the delicious aroma of the food.

Four dishes and one soup!
Freshly baked, Xu Lin's appetite was whetted just looking at it.

"It looks good!"

Xu Lin sat down and began to eat.

When a man comes home, his wife has prepared a delicious meal for him.

Happiness is actually that simple.

Eat more!

"Have a piece of beef."

Xu Lin picked up a piece of beef and gave it to Ning Yuhan, who opened her small mouth and took a bite.

"Have you packed your luggage?"

"It's packed!"

"That's fine, we'll set off tomorrow morning." Xu Lin nodded slightly.

After eating and drinking enough.

Xu Lin went to take a shower, and Ning Yuhan washed the dishes.

The two of them didn't go to sleep until after 2 a.m. They didn't actually do anything, they just went to sleep quietly because Xu Lin came back really late.

On Saturday morning, Xu Lin and his group quickly packed their luggage and drove to Duanzhou in Guangdong Province.

"By the way, can my sister leave you some time?"

"She told me to go back and rest for two weeks, and to have some fun and relax, but I didn't think it was necessary to go that long, and it's not good to not go for too long."

"Then relax for two weeks, it's nothing. When you officially enter the workforce, you'll have endless work and chores. Now that you've finally got a break, there's no need to overthink it."

Xu Lin said that Chi Linyue actually thought the same thing.

Just like many people regret not having enough fun in the three months after the college entrance exam, or not having enough fun during the summer vacation of their freshman and sophomore years.

Because basically, unless you become a teacher in the future, you will never have such a long vacation in your life.

We can't just stop working, can we?
That's only a small portion of people. They don't lack money, they don't work much, and they can rest whenever they want. Then there are those who are absolutely complacent, but that doesn't include those who think about complacent but envy others' good lives, because they are not truly complacent.

Xu Lin: "We won't be going to work for the next two weeks. We'll go to the countryside to escape the summer heat."

"Are you staying at my house for two weeks?" Ning Yuhan asked expectantly.

"Yes, I'll stay at your house for half a month."

"Aren't you usually busy? You've been busy the whole time lately."

“I’m on vacation recently, and I’m doing some trivial things occasionally. You see, I’ve given myself a break, so you should give yourself a break too and relax.”

"Then I'll listen to my husband!"

"That's right!"

Xu Lin and his group set off in the morning. The distance from Jiangdu to Duanzhou is more than 1,000 kilometers, and the drive takes at least 15 hours.

They arrived in Guangfu at 11 p.m., and Xu Lin checked into a hotel for the night.

The next morning, Xu Lin and his group arrived at their home in Ningyuhan County.

Ning Haifeng went out to work, while Ning Yuhan's mother, Wu Xiulin, who is a teacher, is taking care of the child at home during her summer vacation.

"Brother-in-law!"

"Brother-in-law!"

Sui Sui and An An said in unison, both children were excited to see Xu Lin whom they hadn't seen in a long time, and they rushed over to him.

The last time we met was in January of this year. Now, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. We have both grown quite a bit taller, but we are still very good-looking. After all, we have excellent genes.

"Sui Sui, An An, let your brother-in-law hug you!"

Xu Lin put down his things, bent down, and picked them up.

“Brother-in-law, you look so good today!” An’an said.

"An'an is pretty too, she'll grow up to be a beautiful girl!"

"Brother-in-law, where's Sui Sui?"

Sui Sui quickly spoke up.

"Sui Sui will grow up to be a handsome young man!"

What is a "handsome guy"?

Five-year-old Sui Sui doesn't know what a handsome guy is, and has no concept of it in her mind; she looks completely bewildered.

"He's just as handsome as my brother-in-law!"

"Then I want to be as handsome as my brother-in-law when I grow up!" Sui Sui understood immediately.

"Has Xiao Lin grown taller?"

After Xu Lin sat down on the sofa, Wu Xiulin poured him a cup of warm tea.

"I've grown a little taller recently, now I'm exactly 1.9 meters tall, but it's about the same height as before."

"1.9 meters tall, that's really tall!"

Wu Xiulin gestured with her hand, indicating that it was much taller than her head.

She is 167 meters tall. Although the height difference between her and Xu Lin is only 23 centimeters, a person's height is not just a concept of height, but also a concept of volume. Tall people, unless they are sticks, are generally larger and give people a sense of oppression. Wu Xiulin's height of 1.67 meters makes her look relatively petite next to Xu Lin.

Xu Lin brought a lot of toys, clothes, shoes and snacks for the two children on this trip.

When it came time to distribute the gifts, both of them were very happy. Children love these things, just like most people look forward to the New Year when they were young, because during the New Year, the relatives you care about will be at home, and there are also delicious food, fun things, and all kinds of new clothes and shoes. It would be strange not to be happy.

"Xiao Lin, Hanhan and I are going out to buy groceries. You and Sui Sui stay here."

Ten minutes later, Wu Xiulin and Ning Yuhan prepared to go out.

"Okay, I'll stay here and take care of An'an and the other two."

Then, the mother and daughter went out to buy groceries, leaving Xu Lin and the others at home.

"Sui Sui, An An, are you going to start elementary school this year?"

Xu Lin has two children.

“Brother-in-law, we’re going to be in first grade!” An’an was the first to answer.

"Brother-in-law, are you in first grade yet?"

He asked me every year.

Xu Lin thought to himself, "I'm already in college, but An'an is only five years old. He's still at an age where he can be easily fooled with a piece of candy. There are some very simple concepts that he might not understand."

An'an corrected him, saying, "Sui Sui is such a fool. Her brother-in-law is in college, just like her sister!"

Then, An'an started arguing: "We start first grade in September, then we finish sixth grade, then we go to middle school, study for another six years, and then we go to university. Sui Sui is the dumbest!"

"An'an is so smart!"

Xu Lin affectionately patted her little head.

Both Sui Sui and An An are very good-looking. Actually, Ning Haifeng and Wu Xiulin's looks can't be described as stunning. Although they stand out in a crowd, they are not particularly outstanding. Ning Yuhan is already far above average, and the same goes for Sui Sui and An An. They won't be any worse than Ning Yuhan when they grow up.

"Brother-in-law, I want to be patted on the head too!"

Sui Sui walked over, and Xu Lin touched him.

After Ning Yuhan and her friend went out to buy groceries, the two of them were not at home for the next half hour.

Xu Lin played with the two porcelain dolls in the living room.

Later, on a whim, he took a cute group photo of them.

Then I sent it to Ms. Ren.

Ms. Ren was resting at noon.

"Whose child is this? So cute!"

Sui Sui and An An are the kind of porcelain dolls that make you want to have children just by looking at their photos, because they are just so beautiful.

"Hanhan's younger brother and sister, twins, aren't they adorable? Doesn't it feel like a dream come true?"

"Twins!"

Ms. Ren said, "Actually, my dream used to be to have twins, a boy and a girl, so that I would have both a son and a daughter. However, twins of different genders are rare and hard to come by."

Ms. Ren liked it more and more as she looked at it: "After you and Hanhan get married, try to have two children too!"

The little ones are so adorable, they've really melted Ms. Ren's heart and brought out her maternal instincts.

Sui Sui An An is really cute, five years old, which is exactly the age when she is especially adorable and cute.

Most people, regardless of gender, are actually unable to resist "cute" people and things.

Xu Lin: "Then we should wait until I'm in my twenties, which is probably a long time coming."

"Where is this? At Hanhan's house?"

"Yes, I'll come here for a visit during the summer vacation."

Are her parents good to you?

"That would definitely be great, no doubt about it!"

The two chatted for more than ten minutes.

Afterwards, Ning Yuhan and the others went to the vegetable market and started making lunch.

Xu Lin finally saw the pickled taro stems, which are the roots and leaves of taro, cut into slices and then pickled.

When cooking it, Ning Yuhan and the others added chili peppers, which made it especially delicious.

Having tasted countless delicacies, Xu Lin experienced for the first time another kind of rare delicacy.

This kind of pickled cabbage is different from those common pickled cabbages, such as pickled cowpeas; it tastes completely different.

Moreover, the roots and leaves of this type of taro are not sold in the market. It seems that you can only find these pickling materials if you grow taro in the countryside.

Perhaps because it was his first time trying it, Xu Lin ate with great relish, finishing four bowls of rice before still feeling unsatisfied.

"The rice cooker is out of rice! My brother-in-law can really eat!"

An'an hopped and skipped around with her rice spoon in hand.

Sui Sui patted her little belly and said, "My brother-in-law eats more than me!"

"How big is your belly?" Ning Yuhan was both amused and exasperated.

Wu Xiulin laughed and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. Otherwise, look at your father, he has a bit of a stomach problem, and he can't eat as much as he used to as he gets older."
