"In today's world, environmental issues have become a global focal point. People are gradually realizing that environmental protection and economic development are not oppositional but rather complementary..."

As Lu Xuan recited about a hundred words, Ji Xiuwen couldn't help but shift his gaze from his phone screen, looking at Lu Xuan with slight amazement.

By the time Lu Xuan reached two hundred words, Ji Xiuwen was quite surprised.

And when Lu Xuan recited up to four hundred words, Ji Xiuwen was no longer just surprised but stared at Lu Xuan in disbelief, as if looking at a stranger.

Lu Xuan wasn't affected by Ji Xiuwen's change in expression and continued eloquently, "If we ignore environmental protection, the economic and social costs of environmental degradation will be immeasurable. Issues like air and water pollution, and ecosystem degradation not only harm human health but also increase healthcare and production costs, negatively impacting the economy..."

To Ji Xiuwen, being able to memorize forty to fifty words in twenty seconds was already quite extraordinary, over a hundred words was a miracle, and two hundred words seemed impossible.

But when the word count exceeded five hundred, Lu Xuan kept going without any sign of stopping, not even a pause, as if he wasn't reciting but simply reading aloud from a book.

The key is that reading a news article for the first time, without missing a single word, is quite challenging.

Seven hundred words!

Eight hundred words!

A thousand words!

"Damn!"

Ji Xiuwen could no longer sit still.

Yet Lu Xuan remained unfazed, continuing to recite the news article, "...Everyone should realize their responsibilities and obligations, actively participate in environmental protection actions, and contribute to creating a beautiful, sustainable Earth. Let us work together to ensure that green waters and lush mountains remain our most precious wealth."

"That's it!" Lu Xuan spread his hands after finishing his recitation.

Bang!

It was the sound of a phone dropping on the table.

Ji Xiuwen picked up the phone that had fallen on the table, glanced at it reflexively, then looked at Lu Xuan with a look of horror, "How did you do it? Twenty seconds, over two thousand words, not a single mistake!"

"I only gave you twenty seconds, even if there was some discrepancy, it would've just been a bit over twenty seconds. If it were me, remembering forty to fifty words would already be impressive, and I couldn't guarantee complete accuracy. But for you, it's over two thousand words! It's terrifying!"

Ji Xiuwen finally believed Lu Xuan's claim of having a photographic memory.

If this wasn't photographic memory, he'd never believe it even if he were beaten to death!

Although he had considered whether Lu Xuan had seen the news article before, upon reflection, even if he had seen it, who would bother to memorize such news in detail?

Just a glance would likely only remind one's of 'Green waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets', and nothing more.

"I told you I have a photographic memory, but you didn't believe me." Lu Xuan smiled faintly.

"Monster!"

Ji Xiuwen looked as if he'd seen a ghost, and he finally understood how Lu Xuan could memorize so many medical books, even knowing which book each part came from. With the ability of a photographic memory, it was indeed possible.

"Still want to study now?"

"You're mocking me, what's the point of studying!"

Ji Xiuwen had a bitter expression, "Is this something that can be learned?"

"Or, you could try to see if, considering I'm calling you godfather, can you lend me this photographic memory ability for a week? I'll go through all the medical books I can find and return it to you?" Ji Xiuwen licked his lips.

"Scram!"

Lu Xuan rolled his eyes at him. If this ability could be lent out, he'd have been taken for research.

Ji Xiuwen couldn't help but feel disappointed, "Just this morning, I was thinking that if I could learn even a tenth of your skills, I would consider myself graduated, even dominate in the field of traditional medicine. Now I know I was overthinking; if I can learn even a tenth of a tenth of your skills, I'd be laughing."

Lu Xuan looked at him puzzled.

Ji Xiuwen sighed, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm serious. With your photographic memory, your learning speed is hundreds or thousands of times mine. Plus, your innate talent is much higher than mine. Consider this, wouldn't it be quite impressive if I could learn even a tenth of a tenth of your skills?"

As he spoke, Ji Xiuwen drank a glass of plain water in one go.

This wasn't water, it was wine, drinking out of helplessness.

People aren't afraid of being inferior, just afraid of having no hope.

Ji Xiuwen now felt he was completely hopeless.

Before this, although he thought that in a little over half a year, his old classmate had suddenly become extremely skilled, able to cure any disease, using jargon fluently, like a famous senior doctor immersed in traditional Chinese medicine for forty or fifty years.

Even surpassing many famous senior doctors.

But he felt that with a bit of effort, double, or even multiple efforts, combined with guidance from Lu Xuan, he could eventually catch up one day.

But now, knowing that Lu Xuan has a photographic memory, Ji Xiuwen felt there was no possible way to catch up to his old classmate.

The two were no longer in the same realm.

Like two cultivators, one has ascended to the Divine Realm, while the other is struggling to ascend to the Immortal Realm, not knowing whether he can ever ascend, let alone reach the Divine Realm.

"Don't lose heart."

Seeing Ji Xiuwen deeply affected, Lu Xuan didn't know how to comfort him, as having this photographic memory was indeed a fact.
