Human Brain Farm-Chapter 441 - 426 Deep Affection in Friendship

Zhu Zhengwei looked at Zhang Zhi, feeling somewhat emotional.

The younger brother from back then had finally grown up and reached this day.

No matter whom I mess with, it could never be Zhang Zhi.

It’s always outsiders I target, never my own family.

"From now on, you need to work hard."

Zhu Zhengwei said, "There isn’t much time left. Normally, the Celestial Court can’t go a day without a ruler. Although no one knows the Jade Emperor’s secret... currently, the Jade Emperor is controlled in turns, seeming quite normal, but the personality within should immediately return to the Celestial Court and conduct the selection of the new Jade Emperor."

"Indeed, that’s true."

Li Shimin said, "We don’t have much time... We must finish the devilish training within three days, impart all knowledge and skills to you, make you strong enough, and then help you run for the election!"

"I understand."

Zhang Zhi solemnly nodded, "This will be an important moment defining my life."

Quickly, Li Shimin followed Zhang Zhi, heading for the devilish training.

But I am not without contributions either.

One could say that my Ginseng Fruit Tree, a treasure for longevity, was all given to Li Shimin as fuel.

My Ginseng Fruit Tree is now barren.

However, Zhu Zhengwei did not feel regret, "Feed him over with tons of energy supplements, and he’ll go full throttle, work like crazy... no, help Zhang Zhi work like crazy."

The most crucial part is that Li Shimin does the hard work, and I’m spared the reincarnation pain—I just have to wait here for three days, and that’s all.

During these three days, Zhu Zhengwei wasn’t idle either.

He went to the Fourth World, Bikini Bottom, and sought out Pai Daxing.

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"

Pai Daxing sat beneath a modest stone house, gobbling and drinking from a Crab King Castle, "Thanks to you, I managed to rouse the people to save SpongeBob, I owe you a favor."

"What do you plan to do next?" Zhu Zhengwei asked.

"Oh, I’m planning to take off my head and return to carefree days."

Pai Daxing, like a well-read scholar, smiled and said,

"Ever since I became smart, I can no longer play with SpongeBob as I used to. Those happy times are fading away, and I can never go back to those days."

"In a few days, I’ll be reverting back."

"After all, the temporary law can’t last forever, and my power is about to be completely exhausted."

Pai Daxing remained calm, half-closing his dull fish-eye-like eyes, "Of course, if there’s any urgent matter, just pull out a piece of Wise Coral from the distant coral reefs and stick it on my head, and I’ll become smart again."

"I see."

Zhu Zhengwei nodded, signaling his understanding.

Pai Daxing decides to revert.

He’d rather give up power, status, wealth, strength... even if all of Bikini Bottom became leaderless again, he would rather remain a simple-minded sea star to play with his friend again.

For the sake of friendship.

"Didn’t you say you’d owe me a favor?" Zhu Zhengwei suddenly said, "You can help me with something now."

"What do you want me to do?" Pai Daxing asked.

"I want you to make a Wisdom Potion, storing all the knowledge you learned in your head into it, which will allow the user to quickly gain 100% base True Skill power."

Zhu Zhengwei extended his finger, "And I want two of them."

Pai Daxing stared blankly, holding his forehead in exasperation, "Zhenyuanzi, you really know how to pose challenges, even this is difficult for me, but I will strive to do it, since you saved SpongeBob... Once I finish this, we are even."

"Luckily, my brain has learned 100% True Skill, just enough to create two Wisdom Potions with it!"

Anyway, I soon have to abandon this brain, so it doesn’t matter now.

With my wisdom, the next time I put on the Coral Brain Crown again, relearning the lost knowledge won’t take too long.

And Pai Daxing vaguely sensed who it was for.

Surely, Zhenyuanzi himself needs to drink one too!

After all, with his intelligence and wisdom, he likely noticed that Zhenyuanzi’s True Skill level had shockingly dropped to a pitiable 90%, barely qualifying as a Half-Saint.

Ever since I met him, Zhenyuanzi’s every odd move clearly hints at some big secret.

Whatever the reason is, he can’t be bothered to explore further.

"Understood, I will make the potions."

Soon, Pai Daxing donned a white lab coat and began researching the reagents.

Bubbling sounds.

After using a heap of oddly colored glass apparatus, two potions were freshly brewed.

"Only one more ingredient left, and I’ll complete these two ’Dave’s Reagents’!"

After saying that, Pai Daxing lifted his own skull and took out his brain.

Pop pop pop pop!

Squeezing it into liquid, he added it into the two reagents, casually strolling out of the room.

Zhu Zhengwei watched silently, observing the extremely bizarre cartoonish sci-fi style, and saw him leave.

The further he walked, the more sluggish and blurred Pai Daxing became, his brain growing increasingly unclear.

Because he no longer had his genius brain... as he walked on, he suddenly reached a restaurant, pushing the glass door open.

"Hi! Pai Daxing."

Octopus Brother’s expression was utterly blank, still sitting at the register.

SpongeBob poked his head out, grinning from ear to ear, "Pai Daxing, my friend, why did you come?"

Pai Daxing wobbled, appearing fatigued, staring at the yellow sponge ahead, mumbling lowly, "The cook selling crab pot by the roadside, can dishes live without a brain, but can a person live without a brain?"

"Ah!!! Again?!!"

SpongeBob screamed, "This time I won’t make a mistake again! Seeing you wobbling, I’ve guessed the reason—you must be fainting from hunger! Quickly, eat a delicious crab burger!"

With that, he was about to open Pai Daxing’s mouth, but mistakenly opened his braincap, stuffing a King of Crab Castle inside.

Ding dong!

A sound echoed inside Pai Daxing like a device turning on.

Pai Daxing suddenly opened his eyes, instantly full of energy, clumsily saying, "Hi, SpongeBob, my friend."

"Can I be your friend again? I can’t keep up with your wisdom, I’m not worthy of being your friend." SpongeBob, once again sensitive, teared up.

"If knowledge and wisdom could compare to friendship, I’d rather be an idiot." Pai Daxing said.

"No! More than just an idiot, Pai Daxing, you’re still my friend." SpongeBob replied.

"Let’s go catch jellyfish."

Pai Daxing and SpongeBob silly and gleefully lifted their nets and ran off joyfully.

...

The story of the Wisdom Coral Brain ended once more with catching jellyfish.

Zhu Zhengwei lifted his head slightly, letting slip a smile before directly leaving Bikini Bottom.

He arrived in the Celestial Court, three days had passed, and after waiting a while, he saw Zhang Zhi ascend to the Celestial Court, standing at the South Celestial Gate waiting.

Clearly, he was about to return to the Jade Emperor’s persona to join the competition.

This is a summon within the Jade Emperor, requiring all personas to return.

"Take this; it’s my support for you." Zhenyuanzi tossed a potion over.

"I understand, I’ll come back victorious." Zhang Zhi nodded and walked straight into the South Celestial Gate.

This was Zhu Zhengwei’s greatest help so far.

With 100% True Skill power and having gone through the crazily intensive period in Chang’an City, he believed none of the other Jade Emperor’s candidates stood a chance against Zhang Zhi.
