Chapter 28: Baseball training facility

It is known that the human brain has infinite potential, possessing nearly a hundred million neurons, both mysterious and fragile. Before the awakening of the yu beast codex, the brain was always considered to be in a dormant state, regardless of its condition.

After the awakening of the yu beast codex, it is referred to as an awakened state.

A high IQ does not represent the degree of brain development. The percentage of brain development is calculated starting from the awakening of the yu beast codex.

A normal Yu Beast Master, whose yu beast codex is awakened through magnetic wave stimulation, should have about 2% brain development, while a self-awakened Yu Beast Master’s brain development is around 5%.

Naturally, the more brain development, the better, but the prerequisite is stability.

From ancient times to the present, many researchers have conducted experimental studies related to brain development, and without exception, the conclusion reached is that brain development emphasizes stability.

If it is unstable, the brain is very likely to collapse.

Although Qiao Sang had previously sent her self-awakening certificate to the admissions backend, everyone at that time was immersed in the excitement of having a self-awakened special recruit apply to their school. They only recognized the person and the seal, so they wouldn’t look at it in such detail.

However…

Chen Shengtang glanced at Fire Fang Dog. Since this child could successfully contract a Pet, there shouldn’t be a big problem with her brain.

He thought for a moment, then still asked with some unease, “When you had your brain checked, did the person who checked you say anything?”

Qiao Sang nodded, “She said my brain waves fluctuated a lot and told me to rest more and eat more dried fruits.”

Then there should be no problem. If the degree of brain wave fluctuation was too severe, she should have been kept in the hospital for observation.

Chen Shengtang breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t want the only self-awakened special recruit who had applied to their school since its establishment to have any problems.

At this moment, the male teacher sitting opposite Chen Shengtang casually asked, “Your dark circles are a bit heavy. Didn’t you rest well?”

Qiao Sang said awkwardly, “I stayed up all night last night.”

Chen Shengtang: “…”

“Although the high school entrance exam is coming soon, you should still rest well. You can’t stay up all night just for studying,” Chen Shengtang earnestly exhorted.

Qiao Sang, who had stayed up all night because she was heartbroken over the loss of 5,000 alliance coins, felt a little guilty and nodded silently.

Seeing Qiao Sang’s obedient appearance, Chen Shengtang’s thoughts turned back to the brain.

If there were no problems, once stabilized, this child’s brain threshold fluctuation range could be as high as 9%! Only one step away from the second awakening of the yu beast codex!

Although it was unlikely…

Normally, this kind of brain fluctuation would eventually stabilize at the lowest value or a slightly higher value.

Chen Shengtang stopped his conjectures, returned the information card and the self-awakening certificate to Qiao Sang, and then turned his head to introduce the only bald male teacher present to Qiao Sang.

“This is Teacher Zhao, he is in charge of your brain examination this time.”

“Hello, Teacher Zhao,” Qiao Sang said.

Teacher Zhao nodded to Qiao Sang as a greeting.

“Don’t let Teacher Zhao’s appearance fool you, he is a bona fide brain expert,” Chen Shengtang said with a smile.

Indeed, it seems that experts in any field don’t have much hair…

…

Inside the examination room.

With the first experience, Qiao Sang was much more relaxed for the second examination and no longer overthought things when she saw Teacher Zhao’s micro-expressions.

With Qiao Sang’s cooperation, the examination quickly ended.

The door opened.

“Woof!”

Fire Fang Dog’s eyes lit up when it saw Qiao Sang, and it immediately pounced over happily, almost causing Qiao Sang to stumble.

Ever since Fire Fang Dog started wearing the weight rings, Qiao Sang hadn’t really held it. Fire Fang Dog also knew that it was a bit heavy now and its Yu Beast Master couldn’t hold it for too long. After staying in Qiao Sang’s arms for 10 seconds, it jumped down.

“You two have a very good relationship,” Chen Shengtang couldn’t help but say from the side.

It was his first time seeing a first-contracted fire-type Pet that was so obedient and attached to its owner.

“Yes,” Qiao Sang replied with a smile.

All the teachers who were in the office just now had come and were waiting neatly outside the examination room for Qiao Sang to come out.

Just an examination, but such a big commotion made Qiao Sang, who wasn’t nervous, become nervous.

Teacher Zhao handed the examination results to Chen Shengtang and said seriously, “No problem, it just hasn’t stabilized yet.”

Chen Shengtang took it and saw that the examination results were still the same as on the self-awakening certificate.

Special recruits who self-awaken have their high school entrance exam scores reduced based on the degree of brain development. Each school has different standards for special recruits.

For example, their school’s special recruit preferential treatment is a 100-point reduction from the Hanggang high school entrance exam’s minimum score line for 5% brain development, and a 200-point reduction for 6% development.

However, Qiao Sang’s brain was still fluctuating, without a stable percentage.

This made things a bit difficult to handle.

But the problem wasn’t big.

Chen Shengtang had already made a decision. He looked up and smiled at Qiao Sang, “Your brain hasn’t stabilized yet, so we’ll take an average value to reduce your score.”

Logically speaking, if the brain fluctuation was between 5% and 9%, it should ultimately stabilize at 5% or 6%.

But Chen Shengtang directly decided that her brain was at 7%.

The teachers next to him heard this and were not surprised.

This was the first self-awakened Yu Beast Master to apply to their school since its establishment. Whether the high school entrance exam score was 100 points less or 100 points more was not important; what was important was to show their school’s attitude.

As long as she applied to their Hanggang Sixth Beast Taming Middle School, the doors would be open for her!

Qiao Sang naturally understood the meaning behind it.

Most ordinary Yu Beast high schools only listed the score reduction standards for 5% to 6% brain development for self-awakened Yu Beast Masters.

That was because, in five years, a province might not even produce a middle school student with self-awakened brain development at 7% or above.

Even if there were, they would definitely not apply to an ordinary Yu Beast high school.

It would be false to say she wasn’t touched. This meant she could have her high school entrance exam score reduced by 300 points from the minimum score line, which was practically telling her she had already been admitted.

“Thank you,” Qiao Sang said.

…

…

After bidding farewell to Hanggang Sixth Beast Taming Middle School, the time was only 10:32 AM.

Qiao Sang did not take Fire Fang Dog to Tea Gui Park for training as she had in previous days.

Third floor of Willet Plaza.

Baseball Training Hall.

After paying for 2 hours, Qiao Sang took Fire Fang Dog to the mechanical training room inside.

This baseball training hall was specifically for people to practice baseball, but Qiao Sang felt it was very suitable for Fire Fang Dog to train its neural reaction speed.

The mechanical training room, only a dozen square meters, was empty, with only two automatic baseball pitching machines inside.

“Fire Fang Dog, try to dodge the balls that will be thrown. I’ll be right here with you, and tell me if you get tired,” Qiao Sang said.

Although Fire Fang Dog didn’t know where the balls would come from, it still obediently nodded.

The automatic baseball pitching machine had six gears, with pitching speeds increasing from gear one to gear six.

The weight ring on Fire Fang Dog’s right front paw had not been removed. Qiao Sang went to the automatic baseball pitching machine and started it on the first gear mode.

Both automatic baseball pitching machines started. The speed was not fast. Qiao Sang easily dodged a ball and then went to a blind spot nearby to sit down.
