”What are you looking at?” Li Fengyun asked.

”That person is a bit strange.”

I pointed at the lonely young man in the corner. Li Fengyun also stared at him for a while before saying, ”It's indeed a little strange. Why isn't he one with the surroundings?”

Perhaps Li Fengyun's description wasn't particularly accurate, but it wasn't too far off.

Mo Kevin and Xu Haoqing also noticed the man in the corner and discussed softly.

”Why do I feel like that big brother looks like a solo player?” said.

”What do you mean?” Xu Haoqing asked.

”It's not interesting. It means that he has no internet connection and is just playing his own game while we are all online.” Mo Kevin's metaphor... Uh, interesting.

Sensing our attention, the man looked up at us, then down again, as if he were not interested in us.

Is this an autistic patient?

I rarely felt this degree of loneliness in a person, so I became interested in him, saying that I must talk to him when the lecture was over.

Just as he was thinking about the man in front of him, a plump old man walked up to the podium.

Looking at his bloated body, his huge beer belly, and his hairless head, I felt disappointed.

Why is it different from the picture?

When I was searching for Du Peng online, he was wearing formal clothes and his hairline was a little high, but he wasn't as bald as he was now. He was tall and his hairline was straight and shiny with intelligence, and he wasn't as fat as he was now.

It's probably a few years old.

Right now, Du Peng could vaguely see some of the elegance in the photo, but his entire face was oily, giving off the feeling of a wineskin and a rice bag.

Even though you can't judge a book by its cover, but this old fatty on the podium right now is a far cry from what I expected him to be.

Did such a person really know how to improve the utilization factor of the human brain?

Walking to the podium, Du Peng lightly coughed and spoke through the loudspeaker, ”Everyone quiet down for a moment. I thank everyone for taking the time out of your busy schedule to listen to this extremely meaningful lecture. I believe that through this lecture, a large portion of people's fates will change! My name is Du Peng, I'm the Deputy Director of the Human Brain Potential Research and Development Center.

The applause from the audience was thunderous. The position of Du Peng sounded quite impressive.

However, according to Xu Haoqing's investigation, the so-called 'Human Brain Potential Research and Development Center' was just a group of people without any official background. There were only a few researchers who did not have any academic qualifications.

The researchers thought every day about how to make humans smarter, but their research was not worth mentioning because of the lack of expertise and support.

As for Du Peng, even though he possessed some capability and had done quite well in helping his students improve their results, he didn't have a good education, and the content of his research wasn't that advanced either.

The main reason we're here is to check if this guy has anything to do with the organization.

After all, his research on improving the utilization of the human brain is consistent with that of the ”yes” organization.

”Alright, alright. Everyone calm down for a moment. The lecture has begun. Next, I will explain in depth how to improve the utilization ratio of the human brain. Please listen carefully.” Du Peng said.

The applause rang out once again. The listeners were very satisfied.

Du Peng began his speech. He was full of eloquence on the podium, but after listening to it for a while, I felt very disappointed.

”Friends, do you want to be smarter?”

”Do you want your child to win at the starting line?”

”Do you often feel that your memory has declined?”

”Do you think you're not as smart as the others?”

”Now, join us. I have mastered the ultimate profound mysteries of increasing the utilization rate of the human brain. I know how to make you smarter, how to develop and utilize your brain better!”

”...”

It was a marketing brainwashing speech...

He talked a lot, nothing more than selling himself and his training institute. As for the actual dry goods, it could be said to be nothing at all.

Kevin's face was also filled with disappointment as he sighed, ”Why is he a scammer? ”And here I thought that he really was an expert …”

Xu Haoqing and Li Fengyun also expressed that they had wasted a beautiful morning.

However, the audience seemed to be attracted by Du Peng, and from time to time, there would be applause and applause. I estimated that among these people, there must be some ”actors” that Du Peng invited who pretended to be fans in order to increase their popularity.

At the end of the lecture, Du Peng began to sell his own products, magnetic therapy machines, purely natural Chinese herbs pillows, health care belts, etc., claiming that as long as he used these products, he would be able to become smart and increase his brain's utilization rate.

I ignored the pseudo-expert and focused on the lonely man in the corner.

The disappointment on his face was even more obvious than that of Mo Kevin.

He closed his eyes and shook his head slightly …

Then he opened his eyes and looked at me.
