Picking Up Fragments-Chapter 339: Powerful Functionality
This was actually the result of Xu Kun repeatedly crossing the line, leading to today's downfall.
When he was faking traffic and popularity, CCTV had already criticized him by name, but he refused to change his ways and continued as before.

Now that another incident has occurred, the authorities decisively took action to put an end to him.
This move was truly satisfying! Countless netizens cheered in approval!
He might be the first artist in China whose downfall has brought so much joy and excitement to the public. Xu Kun has certainly "made history."
A flood of viewers rushed to his past works, filling the comment sections with messages:
[Lighting incense] [Rest in peace] [Family members express gratitude].
As soon as the news of Xu Kun's ban spread, all the celebrities who used to associate with him quickly distanced themselves.
All of his works, including songs, rap tracks, and TV shows he participated in, were completely taken down.
The programs, advertisements, and sponsors that had contracts with him immediately went to his studio to demand compensation.
Since he was banned, they suffered huge losses, so they naturally came to collect their debts.
Xu Kun's studio had no choice but to pay them back.
However, the penalty fees were too high, and in the end, they had to pawn off all of Xu Kun's luxury cars and mansions.
With no money left, who would still work for him? The studio disbanded instantly.
Xu Kun went from being a "rich man" to a "debt-ridden man" overnight—his entire fortune was used to pay off debts, and he still owed a massive amount.
A top-tier celebrity, at the peak of his popularity, fell from grace in less than a day. Truly, a dramatic downfall.
When Jiang Siming heard about it, he was also shocked.
He thought at most Xu Kun would be publicly criticized by authorities, but to be outright banned?
Emm...
From Welis and Qian Jiajia to Dolce & Gabbana, and now Xu Kun, it seems like... all of their downfalls are somehow related to him.
How did this happen?
Jiang Siming couldn't figure it out, nor did he want to.
After all, wasn't it a good thing that these people were taken down? He was only doing good deeds.
Right now, what Jiang Siming cared about was this bottle of advanced gene serum.
Advanced Gene Serum:
Marrow cleansing and bone refining: Enhances physique to the optimal level for cultivation, increasing cultivation speed by tenfold!
Perfect memory: MAX memory enhancement.
Wisdom of a hundred dragons: MAX intelligence boost.
Irresistible charm: Significantly increases charisma and carries a 1% chance of triggering the hidden skill [Love at First Sight].
Love at First Sight: When triggered, the opposite sex's favorability towards the user will instantly reach 100 points.
...
The powerful and comprehensive effects of this serum left Jiang Siming astonished.
Lying in the bathtub, Jiang Siming decisively poured the serum into his mouth.
A warm current surged into his body, spreading through all his meridians.
However, unlike before, no black impurities oozed out of his body. This was likely because the intermediate gene serum had already refined his physique to perfection.
So, there were no more toxins to be expelled.
Even so, he could still feel changes occurring inside and outside his body, especially in his brain—it felt as though his mind was expanding.
The human brain is typically only developed up to 7%, but Jiang Siming felt that his had now reached 15%, or possibly even higher.
Brain development is divided into two types:
Left Brain: The "Commander of Knowledge," responsible for analytical thinking, logical reasoning, and intellectual development. Often called the "Mathematician's Brain."
Right Brain: The "Commander of Creativity," responsible for imagination, intuition, and divergent thinking. Often called the "Artist's Brain."
Jiang Siming could feel both his left and right brain being enhanced.
Things he previously couldn't remember now surfaced instantly, with crystal-clear clarity.
Academic problems that once puzzled him were now effortlessly solved in his mind.
If he were placed on the "Super Brain" competition show now, he could easily crush all previous champions.
And that wasn't all—his body also underwent subtle but noticeable changes.
Stepping out of the bathtub and looking into the mirror, Jiang Siming initially thought he looked the same.
However, with his newly enhanced intelligence, he immediately noticed the differences.
He had grown 2 cm taller, and his skin tone had darkened slightly—not enough to be obvious, but he looked healthier than before.
His body muscles became more flexible, no longer stiff and tense like before, as if a Muay Thai fighter had suddenly mastered Tai Chi, blending hardness with softness.
Another noticeable change was his overall charm. This change was significant—even Jiang Siming himself found it hard to handle when looking in the mirror, feeling relieved that he wasn't a woman.
However, at this rate, Jiang Siming feared he might be overwhelmed by women in the future… Emmmm… This was truly a headache-inducing problem.
The biggest change, in Jiang Siming's opinion, was in his dantian. The speed of his true energy growth and circulation had increased by several levels.
Originally, his true energy had already taken a liquid form, but now he noticed that it was becoming more viscous, as if it was beginning to merge.
It felt like he might level up again in a short time, especially if he diligently practiced his **Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Technique**…
All these changes made Jiang Siming very happy—he was one step closer to his dream of being invincible.
After the Foundation Establishment stage, the next step was the Golden Core stage.
He wondered if reaching the Golden Core stage would allow him to achieve sword flight. If it did, that would be incredibly cool!
After getting dressed and heading downstairs, Wang Xinyi and Yin Zhirou stared at Jiang Siming in a daze for a long time. Finally, their eyes sparkled as they ran up to him, inspecting him from head to toe.
"Senior Brother, why do you look so much more handsome all of a sudden~?"
"I think so too. Darling, are you planning to make all the women outside fall for you?" Yin Zhirou covered her mouth.
Jiang Siming shrugged as if saying, "Is it my fault for being handsome?"
That evening, he picked up Li Yingzi from work and went to her house. She had the same reaction, completely mesmerized by Jiang Siming's "beauty."
Even when clapping, she couldn't bear to let go of Jiang Siming, which made Old Jiang quite happy…
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.
It was also the first day of the national college entrance exam. Of course, aside from households with senior high school students, everyone else was celebrating the festival as usual.
Early in the morning, Jiang Siming was still sound asleep in the arms of his beloved when he received a call from his mother.
"It's already so late, and you're still not up? How are you planning to spend the Dragon Boat Festival, son?"
Jiang Siming yawned while holding Wang Xinyi's fragrant shoulders and replied, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm spending it with my girlfriend. She made zongzi and cooked a meal, so your son won't go hungry."
"That's great, hahaha."
Hearing that Jiang Siming was spending the holiday with his girlfriend, his mother was very pleased.
Jiang's father grabbed the phone and said, "You little rascal, not coming home for the Dragon Boat Festival? When you do, I'll teach you a lesson."
"Ahem, Dad, I'm doing this so I can bring your daughter-in-law home sooner. I need to spend more time nurturing our relationship." Jiang Siming made up an excuse.
Wang Xinyi, who had just woken up, giggled under the covers when she heard this.
