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

He can be considered a first-class, first-stage synthesizer.

Therefore, in the last half month, Zhang Chaoqiang must undergo intensive training and synthesis exercises.

The competition is scheduled for May 1st, and it is currently in mid-April. Generally speaking, the contestants and their accompanying teachers from each city will arrive at the competition area in Zhongzhou City a week in advance.

So, in a week, Zhang Chaoqiang will be going on another long trip to Zhongzhou City, which he just visited a few months ago during the Chinese New Year!

"Super strong! Tired of watching TV? Why not start studying?"

"Oh no, I misspoke. I meant I'm tired of studying, how about we watch some TV?"

At home, there was a constant knocking on the door. Almost every half hour, Zhang Chaoqiang's bedroom door would be punctuated by the concerned voices of his parents, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong.

Zhang Chaoqiang is using a "miniature synthesis table," which is a small synthesis table, only the size of a table, provided by the Tianan City Research Center so that he can practice synthesis at home.

Although small, this thing is complete. While it cannot support Zhang Chaoqiang in completing an entire synthesis process, it is sufficient for practicing the first and second stages of the second-order artificial crystal core synthesis embryo.

There's absolutely no need to worry about safety; the synthesis platform will absorb and dispose of all the radiation that the spiritual energy from communication would radiate into the air.

While undergoing the second stage of repetitive training for the synthesis of second-order artificial crystal nuclei, Zhang Chaoqiang took a moment to reply to his parents: "Okay!"

However, he continued to train diligently. He had no choice; the time to travel to Zhongzhou for the competition was fast approaching, and he had to train continuously, watching the [Spiritual Power Control] value in front of him repeatedly attempt to synthesize...

His rapid rise gave him a sense of security and satisfaction.

[Repetitive Action]: Doing things repeatedly leaves a deeper impression. 13/50

During his diligent training over the past few days, he was fortunate enough to obtain a related growth task. When he found himself repeatedly deepening his understanding of the second-order artificial crystal core synthesis operation, he realized that...

The increased [Spiritual Power Control] value was also accumulated through continuous repetition.

The first increase was 0.02, the second was a repeat increase of 0.04, the third was an increase of 0.06…

Thus, through his calculations, Zhang Chaoqiang arrived at the result that if he repeated the composite motion fifty times...

That will ultimately bring him an increase of nearly twenty points.

In addition, during the process of performing high-difficulty synthetic movements, one can also receive some amplification in spiritual power control.

In this way, one can gain several tens of spiritual power control boosts in a short period of time.

To be honest, Zhang Chaoqiang thought this incredible good news, this growth task, was very likely unrelated to him...

As the knocking on the door sounded again in the background, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei called out, "Chaoqiang, come out and eat some fruit!"

At that time...

Zhang Chaoqiang actually discovered...

The [Repetitive Exercise] stat in the original growth quest has had its cap increased from 50 to 51...

It was only then that he realized that perhaps it was all because of his parents that he had received this growth task.

Since joining the Synthesis Competition, he has devoted himself to synthesis and daily cultivation. Even after returning from school, he has been focusing on cultivation at home with his door closed.

This left the two elderly people suddenly feeling empty inside.

"Time, time, please slow down, don't let her grow old anymore..."

When the long, resentful song drifted from the living room, Zhang Chaoqiang suddenly realized what Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were doing all those repetitive movements for.

Every half hour, I make myself go outside to watch TV and drink soup, even if this so-called soup is just made with concentrated soup stock...

Why not relax a bit, eat some fruit, or have some snacks?

Although Zhang Chaoqiang didn't find the two annoying, he kept giving them perfunctory answers.

After careful reflection, he realized that he hadn't spent much time with his parents in a long time.

Even being within three meters of their line of sight is considered companionship, but this is something Zhang Chaoqiang has lacked in his daily life.

After having this sudden idea, Zhang Chaoqiang put aside the synthesis training that he should have been rushing to complete after finishing this synthesis phase.

I went out to watch TV with my parents. They watched those melodramatic and awkward youth dramas. They will always miss their own youth.

"Quick, eat some fruit!"

When Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei saw their busy son finally emerge from his room, they hurriedly greeted him. In that instant, all they saw was their son, not some so-called genius.

But Zhang Chaoqiang wanted to go back to his room immediately.

Because when he looked at the knife on the table and the cantaloupe on the table with its outer plastic bag still unopened, he realized that this was definitely a scene where he was expected to do the work himself.

After removing the seeds from the cantaloupe with a resentful look, he quickly cut it into small pieces that wouldn't get his hands dirty and served it to his parents, who were lounging on the sofa, snuggling together.

They seem to be truly paralyzed...

Zhang Chaoqiang personally stuffed the cantaloupe into their mouths, feeling as if he were Old Chen himself.

Chapter 217 Obsessed

This trip to Zhongzhou City was for a completely different purpose than the trip during the Lunar New Year.

With an absolute goal, they aim to be among the top ten in the synthesis competition, meaning they will rank in the top ten out of 123 participating students nationwide.

This is Zhang Chaoqiang's absolute objective this time.

Whether it was the reward clues obtained through Tan Yue's powerful family background, namely the famous and magical assessment secret realm of the Central Kingdom, the Brain Enhancement Space, or other hidden rewards that had not been made public.

These are things that countless students want to fight for.

It should be noted that the first Synthesis Competition held in the Central Kingdom would undoubtedly offer the most generous rewards, surpassing even the rewards of a national youth martial arts competition.

The higher the ranking, the more favor one will receive from the central leadership of the Central State, and at the very least, one will gain many opportunities to enhance one's own capabilities.

Most importantly, one could gain the favor of the bigwigs of the Central Kingdom and join an official organization or be recruited by some powerful hidden families!

Those reclusive families usually have their bloodlines dating back to the time when humans first appeared.

This bloodline, passed down from generation to generation, represents the family heritage and resources they possess, which are unmatched by those families and businesses on the surface.

Even those geniuses who have established a certain status in their own cities, and the young people who represent their cities in the competition, hope to obtain a better training environment and resources.

No one would complain about having too many resources and opportunities, through large-scale public competitions, whether it's mech piloting or combat tournaments, etc...

Any major competition that showcases skill will attract countless people eager to compete and gain a chance to participate.

Rewards are one aspect, but if one performs exceptionally well and catches the eye of various forces, then their future is absolutely limitless!

In Tian'an City, the school originally planned to hold a meeting for Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue, mainly to introduce the contestants from various cities to them.

This will allow them to be prepared for and have a clear understanding of the standards for this synthesis competition.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang, who has been overwhelmed by his parents' antics at home lately, has no extra time to listen to these things.

Every day at home, still dealing with Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong, he felt that his parents were just like newborn children and babies.

At home, I couldn't leave their sight for even a moment...

Otherwise, they will start repeating their harassing actions again.

And the current [repetitive behavior] has, under their harassment, increased from my initial 50 to 75.

Only when the price could no longer rise did Zhang Chaoqiang realize that he needed to complete the remaining 60 repetitions within the last week before heading to Zhongzhou City, which was a certain stage of the synthesis process.

This way, we can maximize the spiritual power control value of the repetitive movements brought about by the [Repetitive Behavior] in a short period of time before the synthesis competition.

In this way, he could only abandon all behaviors that were useless at school and continue to engage in synthetic repetitive behavioral movements on his own.

Zhu Bobi and others often joked around with Zhang Chaoqiang, claiming that he was:

Ignoring everything else, I focused solely on reading *Jin Ping Mei*...

"Oh, I mean the classics..."

The customer flicked Zhu Bobi on the forehead: "You don't express yourself clearly."

Therefore, the meeting specifically held to discuss the opponent's information status was only attended by Tan Yue alone. After all, Zhang Chaoqiang had to focus on his work, and since she knew that information, Zhang Chaoqiang knew it too.

In any case, compared to all the abnormal contestants, she would probably only be able to reach the bottom level. It would be better to let Zhang Chaoqiang cultivate and study hard, and strive to occupy a relatively high ranking in Tianan City.

The potential for growth in brain-related technologies…

Tan Yue often gets distracted during the information sessions for the contestants.

After all, this space can only be accessed through rewards from certain competitions, and is only open to the most outstanding students in the Central Kingdom. There is no other way to enter it.

Therefore, Tan Yue couldn't help Zhang Chaoqiang much. Tan Yue sincerely hoped and believed that Zhang Chaoqiang could achieve his goal, and she had great confidence in him.

"In this synthesis competition, among the 123 contestants from 123 cities, there are ten contestants with the highest synthesis master qualifications."

They are Gu Yizheng from Zhongzhou City, Tie Daren from Minjiang City, Xiao Xia from Liuhai City, Gao Guojun from Tongxin City, and so on..."

"Among them, based on the concentration level of the second-order artificial crystal cores they synthesized, Gu Yizheng, who belongs to Zhongzhou City, was able to synthesize a second-order artificial synthetic crystal core that is equivalent to twelve monster crystal cores of the same order."

This means that the second-order artificial synthetic crystal core he synthesized contains the pure spiritual energy of twelve demon beast crystal cores, at a medium concentration.

Tie Daren, Gao Guojun, and others had as many as ten of them.

Based on the information presented at the meeting, it is clear that Gu Yizheng did not have a significant lead over all the other players.

The emergence of a large number of talented individuals is the current state of affairs in China, a country that enjoys a peaceful environment for growth but is also full of various challenges.

Tan Yue was dumbfounded; she had never deliberately sought out much information about these other contestants…

However, after explanations from teachers like Ma Suying, she realized...

It turns out that Zhang Chaoqiang's first-class, zero-stage ranking was merely average...

As for myself, it was even more difficult to describe, because there were only ten names on each PPT slide, and when Teacher Ma Suying and the others flipped through the tenth page, my name still hadn't appeared.

Tan Yue smiled somewhat embarrassedly, but she was indeed a little unhappy inside.

It wasn't until Ma Suying took the initiative to change the subject and stopped looking at the PPT that Tan Yue became even more certain that she was probably in last place among all the contestants.

Tan Yue had already marked the detailed list of personnel she needed to record.

When she got back, she would proactively remind Zhang Chaoqiang which personnel he needed to keep an eye on during the competition, as well as which competitors in the synthetic competition could pose a threat to him.

As for various precautions, they were also recorded. We've done our homework on this.

In Tan Yue's mind, at an age when she has already entered adolescence, it would be absolutely impossible for her to have no competitive spirit at all.

Therefore, she even "accidentally" had the idea of ​​bribing her opponents in this competition, but she immediately dismissed the thought in an instant.

Under intense training conditions, Zhang Chaoqiang is now able to skillfully repeat the second stage of the second-order artificial synthetic crystal core. Each stage takes about half an hour.
