Chapter 22: Remove Su Lili (Y/N).

Li Ang, eighteen years old, carries the surname Li from his father. His mother and maternal grandfather have the surname Zhang, while his maternal grandmother has the surname Cheng.

In other words, he belongs to a case of intergenerational inheritance, inheriting the gravitational bloodline from his maternal grandmother.

His lineage assessment indicates a high probability of reaching grade six, but grade five is basically out of reach.

Of course, lineage assessment is not absolute.

Li Ang's maternal grandmother's bloodline has a maximum potential of grade seven, and all other relatives from both his paternal and maternal sides are commoners.

Yet, he himself possesses the potential for a maximum of sixth grade, which cannot be explained solely by genetic laws.

According to lineage assessment, a person's bloodline growth value is the weighted average of the bloodline growth values of all members from both paternal and maternal sides.

By this algorithm, Li Ang shouldn't have awakened his bloodline.

But he did awaken it, so lineage assessment isn't entirely reliable.

What if he gets promoted to the fifth grade?

So, after the combination, the family plans to change his name from his original name "Ang" to "Cheng Zi'ang."

According to the "Shuowen," "Ang" means high. The name Cheng Zi'ang implies the hope that he can break through to the fifth grade.

According to the information Cheng Yuexian has, the future Cheng Zi'ang, who is currently Li Ang, is indeed a top student, with excellent grades in high school.

After discovering his gravitational bloodline, he temporarily supplemented his algorithm knowledge and ranked second only to Cheng Jinyang in the comprehensive assessment of the fixed grade test.

The only issue might be that this guy seems to be a bit of a licking dog...

It was probably a few months ago when he joined the online forum for Miss Ah Zhi.

This forum was established spontaneously by fans of Xing Yuanzhi after the "Hundred Flowers Spectrum" incident that year.

Most of its members are young descendants of the Cheng and Xing families.

Li Ang's initial motivation, probably, was to quickly establish connections with the descendants of the Cheng family... but that doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, he went on a frenzy of posting to gain experience points in just a few weeks and has now become the second most active user on the forum, second only to the forum host who initially created it.

Due to rumors on the forum that the host is a wealthy girl, Li Ang started calling himself the number one male fan of Miss Ah Zhi.

Then Cheng Jinyang, the fiancé, appeared, and enraged Li Ang started rallying forum members to collect razor blades to convict Cheng Jinyang of "defiling Ah Zhi" and execute him – regardless of his initial motives, it seems like this guy is playing for real now.

When it comes to being a licking dog, Cheng Yuexian isn't sure how to evaluate it.

But she can be certain that if Xing Yuanzhi knew about this, she wouldn't be happy at all.

Shoot the horse first, catch the thief first.

Have younger cousin Jinyang defeat him cleanly, to deter those unruly "Ah Zhi fans" behind him.

At the same time, she could say some "motivational" words just right, inspiring the students to target younger cousin Jinyang, encouraging them to chase, sprint, and strive, killing two birds with one stone.

Cheng Yuexian made up her mind and turned around to start adjusting the equipment.

Unaware of Li Ang behind her, who, upon taking the stage, turned towards Cheng Jinyang and made a threatening gesture with his hand across his neck, indicating his intention.

Cheng Jinyang tilted his head slightly, gave a puzzled expression like a black person's smile, raised his hands in a shrug, and let out a series of question marks.

Li Ang: ???

Although not understanding the meaning behind his gesture, it was clear the other party wasn't intimidated.

So Li Ang smirked again, closed his eyes without responding, and focused on resting.

Cheng Jinyang, baffled, could only make a mental note of this eccentric guy and plan to settle the score later.

Meanwhile, Cheng Yuexian finished adjusting the equipment.

A large device resembling an old-fashioned hair steamer with added headgear and head covers. It looked somewhat like the special device in Fallout series' Vault 112.

After making them lie down on the two machines, Cheng Yuexian gave them water and medication, then placed electrodes on their heads.

Soon, both Cheng Jinyang and Li Ang fell asleep inside the machine's headgear.

"In the process of brain domain development, you need to maintain a special state of being 'both asleep and awake'," explained Cheng Yuexian, pointing to the two people sleeping in the apparatus, to the students.

"Then the apparatus will read the brainwave signals to a specific server, adjust them, and then transmit them back. Through the signal current, the brain is stimulated to complete the adjustment of the brain nerves."

"Of course, the above is just a brief overview for you to understand, and brief means it's not precise. If there are any know-it-alls who have read some books on neuroscience and want to question me about this, please find me after class, and I will give them additional essay assignments."

So the students, who were initially eager, quieted down upon hearing this, focusing on the large screen on the front wall.

Cheng Jinyang opened his eyes, about to instinctively roll away, but he forced himself to hold still.

At this moment, he was standing in the family's virtual martial arts arena. More precisely, it was a virtual arena constructed by a program.

Fifty meters away stood Li Ang, looking around bewilderedly.

In the center of the arena, the figure of Cheng Yuexian suddenly appeared between them, as if drawn from the void by a pencil, then she spoke:

"You are currently in the interface of brain domain development."

"The program is searching for the location of your active neurons. Next, please clear your mind, focus on imagining yourself fighting a powerful enemy."

"The enemy's attributes, the battlefield environment, the way of combat, all of it is up to you to freely set. You just need to concentrate on imagining, and let the program handle the positioning."

Cheng Jinyang followed the instructions and cleared his mind, and the first thing that came to his mind was a demon with stunning beauty and a fierce temperament.

In the depths of his memory was the demon that killed and devoured Su Lili.

Then, in his imagination, he brought out violent weapons like guns and swords to fiercely battle and kill the opponent.

"Alright," after a moment, Cheng Yuexian suddenly spoke, "While you were visualizing the battle, the program has already detected the most active areas of your brain related to combat through EEG. Next, we will replace the information stored in those areas with memories related to the supernatural abilities algorithm."

"Pay attention to the front of your sight, there should be a grid appearing. Each cell in the grid represents a memory partition of yours, and the closer to the front and top, the more active the corresponding partition is, representing the memories you are most likely to recall."

"Concentrate on observing these cells, you can see the information stored inside. Carefully visualize the supernatural abilities algorithm you use most often, and use them to replace the information inside. Of course, if the information originally stored there is very useful to you, you can first replace it with other cells below, find one where the stored information is not so important, and can be forgotten."

Cheng Jinyang followed the instructions and saw a list in front of him, with ten boxes in each row, scrolling down endlessly.

Let's see what's in the first box... Hmm, it's Su Lili feeding him grapes.

And the second box?

Uh, it's the image of Su Lili holding him.

Going through each one, Cheng Jinyang realized that most of the memories in the first three rows were occupied by interactions with Su Lili, with only a small portion related to Miss Ah Zhi.

It wasn't until the fourth row that Miss Wang, Princess, and some habitual, yet unconscious, high-frequency behaviors began to appear.

He suddenly understood why Sister. Wu and Ah Zhi said accepting brain domain development could cure depression.

Because the essence of brain domain development is somewhat like a visual operating system, allowing oneself to access and organize the information in the brain.

All memories related to Su Lili were laid out on the desktop, the most active shallow memory partition, so they could easily be accidentally triggered in daily life, leading to depressive states.

As long as they were completely overwritten by other information, he could completely forget about her, and subsequent triggering of these sad memories would no longer occur.

However, after some thought, Cheng Jinyang couldn't bring himself to completely delete these memories; he just archived them into deeper, relatively less active areas.
