The words had barely left his mouth.
Inside the Wish Bottle, a single star shone with a dazzling light and merged into his soul.
Zhou Chen shivered. His mind felt as cool as if he'd just drunk cold water after eating a mint, and his thoughts became clearer and faster than ever before.
It was like swapping an ancient, obsolete graphics card used for years with the latest RTX 9090 model. His processing and computational power received a massive boost, making everything feel brand new.
He opened a book and, for the first time in years, once again experienced the joy of learning.
This mysterious, unknown, profound, and extraordinary knowledge filled him with an insatiable hunger. When he entered a state of complete, focused immersion, the world seemed to fade away until only the book before him remained. He forgot everything, even the passage of time.
He was addicted to learning, unable to pull himself away.
