Release That Man

Chapter 4 : Did you know?

Just as Mother Ye was about to drag her newly minted, perfect son out to show the world, Father Ye, who had just finished breakfast, stepped in to stop his wife and pulled Ye Shuang into the study to continue their earlier conversation.

"Xiao Shuang, you said the jade sculpture carried residual memory, then can you tell me exactly what happened to you‽"

Flipping through a thick encyclopedia, Father Ye started to search for the definition that could explain what had really happened to his daughter.

Father Ye wasn't an avid reader of web novels, so he wasn't privy to the common reactions of these main characters blessed with a sudden system or upgrade. However, even if Father Ye knew about it, he would most likely brush it off.

The main character who experienced such a miraculous event would hide it from their families and the public, afraid that they would be dragged to the lab to be tested as lab rats. However, eventually, the truth would be revealed, and using their inhumane talent, they would begin a path of endless face-slapping and harem-collecting!

However, the authors of such stories must have a screw loose somewhere. Why didn't any of the main characters worry about their body collapsing from cellular rearrangement or that the random system was not a perfect assistant but a schemer that meant them harm‽

The host in such novels would be completely under the control of a higher existence… So just how did those main characters believe such a wonderful upgrade would not carry with it a fatal downside? Why did the authors create such main characters that could not see beyond themselves to realize the possible dangerous consequences‽

Father Ye was practically a blank sheet of paper when it came to this kind of knowledge; he hadn't been brainwashed by web novels to think that only good things would come to Ye Shuang from this encounter. From how he saw it, be it a good thing or bad thing, they needed to first identify the origin and degree of this change. They couldn't leave everything to fate now, could they?

"The main changes involve the optimization of the physical body and the brain. However, as to the degree of change, I'm not so sure myself because the memory didn't contain any information regarding that." Ye Shuang understood that this was her father's way of expressing his worry and love, so she treated it seriously. "There are no superpowers; the optimization process is curbed by the limits of the body… Temporarily, there is no observable side effect."

Father Ye sighed in relief. "It's good that there are no side effects, but you had better get used to your new body as soon as possible… You can't go breaking all the chopsticks in the house simply because of carelessness."

Thankfully, this time it was just a pair of chopsticks, but if Ye Shuang became too excited when shaking another person's hand… Father Ye didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Ye Shuang felt like crying. It was not that she wanted to break the chopsticks; it was all thanks to that annoying little brother of hers….

"How about a little test?" Father Ye thought about it and decided to start with an investigation of the brain power. He passed the encyclopedia to Ye Shuang. "Let's see how good your memory and logic skills are."

Memory skill… Ye Shuang used a mere 10 minutes to memorize ten pages of the encyclopedia. Father Ye grabbed the book back with a drawn face. "Enough, I understand!"

F*ck, this world sure is unfair!

Father Ye, who was rarely jealous of his children, tried to calm his emotions. "Wait here, I'll go get some math papers from the university!" This would be the logic test.

"Dad, please don't!" Ye Shuang pleaded with tears in her eyes. "Please just give me some IQ tests instead! I feel the brain is quite vibrant at the moment, but…"
