58: Chapter 58: Xiaoyu's Unforgettable Reward Leads to Endorsement

[Tutoring session ended. Overall Evaluation: Grade A!]

[Reward: Money, 100,000 Yuan!]

[Because a real experiment was used to let Xiao Yu realize that consciousness can change reality!]

[Special Reward Issued: Photographic Memory!]

[Photographic Memory: A permanent passive ability. You can autonomously choose to remember or seal memories!]

The reward notification faded.

Jiang Zhe suddenly felt a refreshing sensation, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.

His originally somewhat rusty brain now became incredibly clear and smooth!

"I need to go back to my past life for a bit."

In the master bedroom, Jiang Zhe shouted toward the door.

"Xiao Yu, if there's nothing else, don't disturb me. I'm sleepy."

"Okay!"

Meanwhile, in the livestream room.

Although the screen was black, the bullet chat ushered in one last wave of frenzy!

"After listening to today's tutoring, I feel like 'I' am no longer 'me'."

"First, the human brain is a radio, then the human brain doesn't belong to the material world... then consciousness can actually change reality... Heavens, my worldview is being refreshed every day!"

"And the [Deja Vu] Xiao Yu's Brother mentioned—Heavens, no wonder there's so much deja vu. It turns out that information isn't mine, it might even be from a past life!!"

"I'm so curious about what's next. Is it the immortality of consciousness, or is there nothing left after death, a total disconnection from the network?"

"I beg the big boss to pick a few lucky ones from Xiao Yu's [classmate group] next time he broadcasts. I want to know who I was in my past life!"

"+1, even if he just reveals what my past life's profession was, that's fine."

Skepticism still existed in the bullet chat, but it was drowned out by the massive amount of curiosity.

...

In the Principal's office.

Fu Songxiao, Old Wang, and Xiao Wang looked at each other in dismay.

After a long time, the Principal finally spoke with emotion:

"As educators, we have always been teaching children knowledge, yet we never considered what knowledge actually is!"

Old Wang and Xiao Wang both spoke up:

"Perhaps even we ourselves don't understand what [knowledge] really is!"

"+1!"

"Plus one your head!"

...

In a study within a university faculty residential compound in Kyoto.

Professor Chen, Old Wang, and Old Qian had already gathered there.

The sound of typing echoed continuously.

They argued from time to time.

"Old Wang, this section needs to be annotated."

Professor Qian Mingyi pointed out:

"Also, that glass of water—the argument for consciousness changing reality, and the possibility of whether the [akashic records] can be linked after external factors interfere with the brain to cause a brief full-power burst of consciousness—must also be annotated."

"..."

Soon, a comprehensive summary paper was completed.

Although it lacked the [zero-point field] mentioned by Jiang Zhe, the basic paper was finished.

Old Chen's eyes burned with intensity.

《The Impact of Consciousness Changing Reality and akashic records/zero-point field on the Advancement of Human Civilization》...

He could already see that if they continued to perfect it and conduct more experiments...

It would cause a monumental feat in the scientific community!

"Right, Old Li, we're just missing Old Li. As soon as his experiment results come out, this will definitely cause a massive earthquake in the academic world!!!"

...

Meanwhile, in the Chinese-style villa.

It was dead silent here.

After a long time, the Eldest Disciple looked at Wang Chongyang, "Teacher..."

"Hmm?"

Wang Chongyang, lost in thought, responded.

"If we follow Xiao Yu's Brother's scientific way of thinking..."

"The Six Realms of Reincarnation and the realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man seem to not exist."

"What exists are only the [Material Realm] and the [Non-Material Realm], just like a pencil and a [document] in a tablet. One is material, one is non-material; both are tangible existences."

"What kind of world is the non-material realm in science?"

Wang Chongyang glanced at his Eldest Disciple.

He really wanted to say: if you ask about Sinology, I understand.

But you're asking about this science stuff...

Do you really take me for a PhD in Physics or some Academician-level big shot?

"If your teacher were to look at it, the [Non-Material Realm] must be..."

"[Within this universe]!"

"It's a non-directional world; in foreign theology, it could be Heaven or Hell."

"From the perspective of domestic Sinology—it is the formless, substance-less, void world."

"Just like that dark energy, invisible and untouchable, where you can only find traces of its presence."

"Xiao Yu's Brother used an experiment to prove it—consciousness can change reality."

"If you really want to pursue an answer..."

"Then it's the [Microscopic World]!"

When mentioning the microscopic world, even this Sinology giant, Wang Chongyang, felt a bit guilty.

Because...

He really didn't freaking understand it!

His vague, half-real answers didn't count as tarnishing his title as "Teacher."

"Thank you, Teacher!"

The Eldest Disciple answered humbly.

The Second Disciple watched with a sneer on his face.

If you don't understand, you don't understand; why pretend?

"I need to contact a theology expert to discern whether this Xiao Yu's Brother is real or fake."

He turned and walked out of the villa, dialing a number.

"Is that Old Xu? Yes, I have something..."

"It's not that I've taken a liking to theology, I just want to ask you a few questions... Yeah, I've sent you the link. I'll treat you to tea tomorrow night."

...

Meanwhile, at the Dougu Platform operations department.

The place was buzzing with excitement.

"Brother Wang, this is incredible! Peak concurrent viewers hit 3 million, and it stayed stable above 2.5 million for over an hour; it's simply exaggerated!"

"Total donations are estimated to exceed 500,000 after tax, and it's still increasing."

Operator Wang looked at the rising backend curves with satisfaction.

He punched the air forcefully, his face full of wild joy.

"Right now, immediately, at once!"

"Clip the livestream video and promote [Consciousness Changes Reality] and [Past Life Calculation] on the Dougu homepage."

After giving the orders, Operator Wang immediately called Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, there's an endorsement suitable for you."

"It's for Mengniu Sports Milk. I've sent you the endorsement requirements; see if you accept."

...

Meanwhile, at home.

Xiao Yu had just finished washing up and was about to go to her room to sleep.

She immediately saw the backend message from Operator Wang on her computer.

She opened it to take a look.

[Merchant Requirement: Without Xiao Yu's Brother realizing he is being livestreamed, get him to proactively say the line, 'Mengniu, I love to drink it; after drinking it, I'm super fierce!' Line fee: 500,000 Yuan per instance. Opportunities: x2]

"???"

"Aren't you making things difficult for me, the Pure, Elegant, Heavenly-Fair, Ethereal, Invincible Steel Fierce Girl, Xiao Yu?"

"Would my brother say such a crazy line?"

Not happy!

But when Xiao Yu's eyes swept over the merchant's requirement that Jiang Zhe saying the line once could earn 500,000, and two lines could earn 1 million...

Hehe!

"Accepted."

"Brother Wang, how's the split for this? Still a 50-50 split?"

"I'm not taking a cut from this one. Let's improve your family's life first."

Xiao Yu didn't dawdle either:

"Since you're looking out for me, I, Steel Rain, am not someone who doesn't understand gratitude. For my endorsement, you take 20%. If my brother says that line twice, you just take 10%. After all, you've contributed a lot to my livestream room becoming popular."

If it weren't for Operator Wang, although she could have become popular, she definitely wouldn't be *this* popular!!!

The other side was typing...

After a long time.

A few words came through:

"Thanks!"

...

At this time, the final few livestream clips and edits of Jiang Zhe completely exploded across the internet.

[Ironclad Proof of Consciousness Changing Reality!]

[When Can Human Civilization Undergo a Large-Scale Update?]

[New Theory Shocks Livestream: Xiao Yu's Brother Mentions 'zero-point field Theory' Again, Claiming It Can Explain Past Lives!]

[Shocking: Is Xiao Yu's Brother Actually a Transmigrator?]

[Deja Vu: Is It a Brain Hallucination or Something Else?]

Various video clips, in-depth interpretation articles, and debates emerged in endless succession.

Supporters and detractors were everywhere, arguing incessantly.

Some also discussed what Jiang Zhe's '28 years' meant.

Until a veteran Taoist priest came forward to verify—

"It's the moment the Yang Spirit leaves the body; the body falls into dormancy, and the Yang Spirit receives what you call the akashic records, which in our country is called the Tao. Xiao Yu's Brother has realized a deep level of the Tao; it's not transmigration or hallucinations. Taoism, Buddhism, and even foreign theologians often do this to glimpse the secrets of the world."

After those words, the netizens felt a wave of disappointment.

But what was undeniable was—

The four words "Xiao Yu's Brother" burst into the netizens' field of vision like a powerful beast.

...

On the other side.

In Kyoto, at the Military General Hospital.

The old doctor, Li Yang, had just completed a surgery.

He returned to his office exhausted, slumped in his chair, and looked at the moon.

Suddenly!

"What did Old Chen ask me to do again?"
