C22 Obtaining the Ability of the Deductive Proficiency!
He was oversimplifying things. Learning isn't just about rote memorization. Much of knowledge requires understanding and the integration of concepts to form a complete system.
Take math, for example. Knowing formulas by heart isn't enough; understanding the problems is key.
Moreover, memorizing English vocabulary is one thing, but grammar requires flexible application. Relying solely on memorization won't cut it.
Suddenly, Yang Ling had a realization and quickly asked, "System, you mentioned that the unlimited wishmaking opportunity is an extra reward. Does that mean I still have one more wish left unused?"
"The host still has one regular wish opportunity. You may use it now or save it for later. Your Wish Value will be recalculated during this period."
"Fantastic!"
Yang Ling was thrilled. He ventured, "I'd like to have superpowers, is that possible?"
"Ordinary wishes cannot grant the host external abilities beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."
"I thought as much."
Yang Ling gave a wry smile. He was familiar with the concept of external abilities—like controlling lightning or flying—abilities that are visible to others.
His Unforgettable Memory, however, was so potent it could be considered a superpower, yet invisible to others, making it an internal ability, which is unrestricted.
After a moment of silence, Yang Ling declared earnestly, "I wish to have a powerful ability for deduction!"
"Wish granted. The host has acquired the skill: Deductive Proficiency. With just a sliver of evidence, you can gradually deduce the essence of things and arrive at the one true conclusion."
Note: This ability will consume Spiritual Energy. The more complex the deduction, the greater the energy consumed, and the longer the deduction will take.
"Ding, you have gained 1 Charm Value."
As the System's voice faded, Yang Ling felt a cool sensation flood his mind. Suddenly, things he hadn't understood before clicked into place.
He realized that with a bit of effort, he could swiftly solve even the most challenging Olympiad math problems, and English was a breeze.
He could articulate the English grammar he had mastered with ease, even surpassing his teachers!
This newfound ability truly delighted him.
Without a doubt, possessing this skill along with his Unforgettable Memory meant he could easily pursue a career as a scientist. Given sufficient time, he was confident that he could even design a fifth-generation computer using nothing but an abacus.
He then embarked on a voracious reading spree. Whenever he stumbled upon a challenging concept, a bit of pondering allowed him to deduce the solution effortlessly—it was as easy as pie for him.
Brimming with confidence, he was certain he could conquer the entire high school curriculum in just three days, achieving complete mastery. The prospect of becoming the valedictorian of the college entrance exams didn't seem far-fetched at all.
Time zipped by, and before he knew it, the clock struck four in the afternoon. After hours of intense reading, Yang Ling felt a bit lightheaded and weary, a clear sign he had overexerted his mental faculties.
Remembering his father's request to speak with him, he left the bookstore and wearily made his way home.
Yang Ling's neighborhood had once been a dormitory area for a state-owned enterprise. Following its privatization, it had transformed into a quaint residential community.
It was one of the older neighborhoods around.
Arriving home around six, he had managed to collect two additional wish points on his walk, making the two-hour journey worthwhile.
As he opened the front door, his mother greeted him with a look of concern. "Ling, how's your head feeling?"
With a reassuring smile, Yang Ling nodded. "I've been checked out at the hospital. I'm fine."
"That's a relief..."
His mother was about to add more when a piercing voice cut in: "The star of the show has finally arrived. Can we start dinner now?"
