Chapter 97: Chapter 87 1.5 Million!_1

Back in middle school, Qian Quan learned a trick from his homeroom teacher: always drink two glucose drinks half an hour before any major exam.

Exams, being mentally taxing, demanded much energy. Drinking glucose could stave off the discomfort or even hypoglycemia that might come from nervousness.

He wasn't sure if there was scientific evidence backing this practice, but after he drank glucose and subsequently topped his class in an exam, he began treating this method as his secret weapon.

Even if the actual effects were minimal, the psychological boost certainly worked.

Every time he drank it before an exam, his mind felt sharper than usual.

That was until he first combined Red Bull with coffee.

The sensation of true "mental alertness".

It was the kind of feeling where one's body could collapse from exhaustion, yet the mind remained sharp, ready to tackle more work.
