Chapter:-47 host obtains Optimal Logic Proficiency.

As long as someone could see it, it was an external-type ability. His instant memorization

skill was so powerful that it could almost be considered a type of superpower. But it

wasn't visible to others, so it was an internal ability and therefore was allowed as a

regular wish.

Keith fell silent for a while before saying seriously, I want to make a wish. System, I want

to be able to work things out. I want a powerful logic and reasoning ability.

Wish successful. The host obtains Optimal Logic Proficiency. Description.

The host can use available information to understand the essence of things and form

correct conclusions. Note this ability will consume spiritual energy. The more

complicated the reasoning process is, the greater the consumption of spiritual energy

and the longer the reasoning time will be.

The host obtains one charm value. Description. As the system's voice faded, Keith felt a

chill run down his spine and his head spun.

The things that he had struggled to understand just moments earlier suddenly seemed

to become clear in his mind. He realized that as long as he was willing, he would be able

to answer even the most difficult algebra questions. Even languages would become easier.

He tried out a few phrases and realized he was able to fluently use all the Spanish

phrases that he'd memorized. He was even better than his old high school teacher. This

realization made Keith's spirits soar.

Putting other things aside, with his new logic ability and instant memorization, nothing

was stopping him from becoming a scientist. As long as he had enough time, he could

master anything. He could design next-generation computers or groundbreaking medical

equipment.

Keith picked up the next book and began to read like crazy. This time, whenever he

encountered any difficulty, he only needed a little bit of thought to work it out. It was a

piece of cake.

Keith felt confident that in the next three days, he could master the entrance exam

topics. He could even try for a top score and start applying for scholarships. The time

flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already four in the afternoon.

Keith had read so much that he felt a little dizzy. It seemed he'd used too much of his

reasoning ability, and his brain had grown tired. He suddenly remembered that his father

had said he needed to talk about something that evening, so he left the bookstore and

started heading home.

Keith's family lived in an old neighborhood on the outskirts of town. By the time Keith

arrived, it was close to six o'clock. He earned two more wish points on the way, so at

least he hadn't walked for two hours in vain.

As he opened the door, his mother greeted him. She asked with concern, "'Keith, is your

head all right?' Keith smiled and nodded. "'I went to the hospital for a checkup.

I'm fine, Mom.' "'Oh,' his mother looked relieved. "'That's good.' She wanted to say

something else, but a sharp voice cut in. "'The man of the hour's finally here.

We can start eating.' As well as his parents, two of Keith's aunts were at the house, Mimi

and Sandra. Sandra had also brought her two kids, Keith's cousins. Keith wanted to say

hello to all of them.

The food was already prepared, and it seemed that everyone was waiting for him. Keith

could tell something was up. He looked from the troubled expressions on his parents'

faces to the way his aunts were eyeing him, and he wondered what was going on.

The only person he couldn't see was his sister, Megan. Megan was a bit of a wild child,

and Keith had no idea where she might be. Sure enough, after only a few mouths full,

Aunt Sandra said, "'So, Keith, I heard about the bank robbery from your dad.

The mayor's office rewarded you with $20,000, right?' Keith nodded honestly and said,

"'Yes, that's right.' Sandra looked delighted. "'And you know that the college entrance

exam is coming up. Jaden's been scoring so high that he'll have no problem getting into

his first-choice school.' Keith frowned a little as he started to see where this might be

going.

"'Well,' Sandra beamed, "'I've already told your dad that the $20,000 can go toward

Jaden's tuition. Once he earns it back in the future, he can pay you back.' Keith was

stunned. He looked at his father and saw the resignation on his face.

He must have had an idea of what was going on. Keith's father was an honest man."

Sandra was an unreasonable woman. She knew how to get what she wanted, and once

she started making a fuss, his father had probably been browbeaten into agreeing to her

request. Keith's mother, Angela, was kind by nature, but she'd never stand up to her

sister's-in-law.

If his father agreed, his mother would go along with it. Keith frowned and looked at his

cousin Jaden, and then at Sandra. Her smile remained enthusiastic, but there was a hint

of disdain in her eyes.

Keith smiled and said, I'm sorry, Aunt Sandra, I really need that money. I'm sure you'll

find somewhere else to borrow Jaden's tuition money. What? Sandra couldn't sit still

when she heard his reply.

She said angrily, you're just a police technician. What do you need the money for? A

family's money should be spent where it's needed most. Jaden is going to college soon.

He needs to pay tuition, living expenses, and so on. He needs to get a girlfriend. He

needs money for real things.

We only want to borrow it. It's not like you won't get it back. His cousin Jaden, who'd

been silent all this while, said proudly, don't worry, Keith, when I graduate, I'll start my

own business.

I'll make sure to look after you then. You won't have to be a police grunt anymore. Invest

in me now.

I'll make it worth your while in the future. Keith could hear they were mocking him. His

stomach clenched, but on the surface, he stayed cool.

Hey, Aunt Sandra, didn't you borrow $7,000 from my dad last year? And you still haven't

paid a single cent back, right? So why are you borrowing money again? Jaden shut his

mouth and didn't say another word. But Sandra replied, your father and I are siblings. It's

what family does, she sniffed
