How was the value of these gifts compared to the Marrow Cleansing Spring?

Chen Chu admitted that he didn’t feel guilty and accepted the gift with a clear conscience.

“By the way, Dad, Mom, I forgot to tell you. In the future, don’t use tap water to cook and drink at home. Use the water I brought back.”

Yang Yumei had no objections, but she was puzzled. “When did you bring the water back home? Why didn’t I know?”

Chen Chu said vaguely, “Oh, that’s mountain spring water. I asked someone to bring it. Aiya, Dad, Mom, let’s not talk about it anymore. I have to do my homework.” After Chen Chu finished speaking, he carried the bag containing the three sets and returned to his room.

Yang Yumei didn’t care. She just looked at the cosmetics and felt a little disgusted. She was already in her forties, yet she was still putting on makeup. However, these two bags were not bad. They were quite sturdy and felt good to the touch. The size was also suitable. She could take it to the meat stall to collect money.

In the room.

Chen Chu closed the door and excitedly opened the plastic wrapper on the phone. He opened the phone box and took out the brand new phone inside.

After removing the soft plastic film that contained the phone, Chen Chu held it and admired it for a long time before turning it on. He had wanted to change his stupid phone for a long time. It was laggy and the pixel was low, so he couldn’t run the memory.

While turning on the phone, Chen Chu looked at the label in the phone box and curiously went online to check the price.

Good lord, JD.com’s price was 12,699 yuan.

After turning it on, Chen Chu played with it for a while. The image on the screen was too realistic. It was high-definition pixels, and there was almost no delay in the response time. It was many times better than his previous lousy phone.

After changing his SIM card, Chen Chu connected to his home wifi and started downloading the apps. He rubbed his hands and opened the tablet and notebook. The tablet was an iPad. JD.com’s price was 16,999.

The laptop was a Microstar. After searching for the price, Chen Chu put down his phone and calmed down.

81,999.

Good lord, his gift alone cost more than 100,000 yuan. What else could Chen Chu say? He was rich and willful.

Chen Chu sighed for a moment. Then, he checked if the system was crazy. There was a notification on the system screen.

[Achievement Reward: Three years of lifespan, a full set of picometer intelligent industrial motherbed machines including technical information (Both available)]

[First Achievement Reward: Proficiency (As long as it’s something you want to learn, there’s nothing you can’t learn. If there is, it’s definitely because your proficiency is not high enough. You should add points!)]

Chen Chu could not help but click his tongue. Good lord, he had been rewarded with a set of industrial machinery that sounded very awesome. Finally, he looked at the special ability rewarded this time. Proficiency.

Chen Chu felt that this ability was no weaker than telekinesis. In fact, it was even stronger. With this proficiency ability, it would be very easy for him to learn anything. He could just brainlessly farm proficiency experience.

This ability was an absolute divine skill for the technological side. With this ability, what technical difficulties or technological barriers could he have? He could raise the skill level and directly broke it with brute force!

Chen Chu began to write the papers and do the question bank. Currently, he has mastered six subjects of the science departments. The rest were omitted. He was a science student. As long as he was good at science, it was fine.

Language, Mathematics, Foreign Languages, Biology, Chemistry, Physics. Basically, they were all at Level 3 with varying proficiency levels.

For example, Mathematics was Level 3, (688/2,000).

There are also other life skills.

Basketball Level 2, Gaming Level 2, Cooking Level 2, Guitar Level 1, Singing Level 1, Cycling Level 1, Running Level 1.

However, Chen Chu discovered a problem. These proficiency points were universal, and he needed to manually increase his proficiency points. After infusing proficiency into the skill, the skill would also receive real-time feedback. His skills would become more proficient and his comprehension would become deeper.

Gaining 5 proficiency points for solving a math problem.

Gaining 100 proficiency points after reading a book.

Gaining 50 proficiency points from playing a game.

Gaining 1 proficiency point from running 5 meters.

Chen Chu was shocked. So, in the future, I can openly say that I’m also learning when I’m playing games?

Therefore, he took out his phone as a matter of course. He played games until three in the morning. Before he fell asleep, he tested his telekinesis. His telekinesis was increasing explosively and could already support him to fly.

Currently, he had a lifting strength that was equivalent to 200 pounds. The telekinesis wrapped around him. Other than the telekinesis that was equivalent to his weight, the rest was used as a driving force.

It was equivalent to a 50-pound thrust that pushed a weightless object with human-shaped wind resistance. However, telekinesis simulated a special structure that could break the wind, greatly weakening the wind resistance.

He took advantage of the darkness to fly around. His flying speed should have exceeded 80 meters per second. However, he did not notice that a new skill slowly appeared on the proficiency interface.

Telekinesis, Level 1 (2,111/10,000)

When Chen Youlu returned, it was only six in the evening.

Chen Baijia was playing golf in the pasture when he saw Chen Youlu’s car return from afar. Therefore, he handed the golf club to Captain Lee, who was beside him, and took the car back to the mansion. “Youlu, why are you back so early? Didn’t you go out for a walk with Chen Chu?”

Chen Youlu felt a little guilty and did not know that Chen Baijia was speaking the truth. “It’s only our first day meeting. There’s not much to talk about. I came back after dinner. By the way, Dad, Uncle and Auntie brought some sausages and bacon that they dried themselves.”

Chen Baijia picked up a piece of vacuum-packed cured meat. “Hmm, it looks pretty good. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten our specialty cured meat. I’ll get the chef to make some tomorrow.” He was about to walk away when he suddenly saw the bucket of water. “Where did the water come from?”

Chen Youlu said, “Chen Chu gave it to me. I think it’s mountain spring water.”

Chen Baijia muttered to himself. The system revolved around Chen Chu in all aspects. There must be something extraordinary about him. This water should not be ordinary mountain spring water. Otherwise, Chen Chu would not have specially sent it over.

“Mm, are you full? If not, go eat some more.” Chen Baijia picked up the bucket of five-liters water and asked Chen Youlu as he walked towards the coffee table.

His bodyguard, Little Li, quickly took the water from Chen Baijia’s hand.

Chen Youlu touched her stomach and blushed. “I’m full.” She even ate too much.

“Alright, come and drink tea with me.” It was rare for Chen Baijia to be interested, so he personally made tea.

Speaking of tea, Chen Youlu thought of the tea she had drunk at Chen Chu’s house. Although the taste was ordinary on the surface, the strange feeling contained in it made Chen Youlu unable to stop.

“Dad, there’s tea at Chen Chu’s house. It tastes especially wonderful, although it’s ordinary at first. However, the feeling after drinking the tea did not feel like drinking tea. Instead, it felt like drinking a tonic soup prescribed by Old Master Xue. It might be better than Old Master Xue’s tonic soup. It would take effect after drinking it. I don’t know how to describe that feeling, but it’s very strange.”

Chen Baijia’s expression changed. “What kind of tea leaves are so unique?”

Chen Youlu pouted and rested her chin on her hand in a daze. “I don’t know.”

Chen Baijia was tempted. Coincidentally, the water boiled and was poured into the pot. The tea leaves rolled and stretched in the boiling water. In an instant, a misty mist rose, and the refreshing fragrance of tea filled the air. The fragrance of the tea was still the same as before. The difference was that the fragrance of the tea now had a magical charm that made people feel extremely comfortable.
