2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

After the firearms test was completed, Yan Muyun suddenly felt sleepy. He lay down on a chair in the lounge and slept for an hour before proceeding with the combat test.

For the researchers who participated in the whole process, this was more like an ultimate imitation show than a test.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai, military fighting skills, Chinese martial arts... As long as Yan Muyun has seen enough detailed video information, he can grasp the key points in ten minutes at most, and the moves he performs will not have any charm at all. Weaken those masters who have been immersed in this way for many years.

Gao Cheng commented: "He doesn't need to sign up for the academy's shooting courses and fighting courses."

"No, no, no, I still want to retaliate." Hearing his words, Yan Muyun shook his head repeatedly.

Gao Cheng was startled for a moment, and then he secretly expressed his approval. He felt that this young man was humble in nature and did not rely on his talent to be arrogant. He was a rare good prospect. However, he still said on the surface: "Don't underestimate yourself. With the talent you have shown now, you don't need to waste too much time on these courses. What you lack now is only practical experience. You just need to add logistics and practice to integrate what you have learned." ."

Professor Bai next to him saw Yan Muyun's strange expression, realized something, and asked with a smile: "What are you really thinking?"

Someone was also sincere, but he hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Why don't you want the credits you got for free?"

Gao Cheng's face froze, and after a long silence, he took off his camouflage jacket and walked to the center of the dojo: "Come on, let's practice without opening the gene lock."

...

During lunch, Yan Muyun, who was feeling sore all over, saw half of a dark gold chain exposed from the breast pocket of Bai Yongning's jacket who was sitting opposite him. He suddenly remembered that he had just logged out from the virtual space a few days ago and the other person was holding a chain. A pocket watch dangled in front of him, and then the surrounding environment changed quickly.

He swallowed a mouthful of food and asked curiously: "Professor Bai, is your superpower an illusion?"

Bai Yongning looked up at him: "I am an ordinary person."

"Ordinary people?" Yan Muyun was also stunned. Could it be that there was someone else who used supernatural powers that day? So what does this old man mean by waving his golden pocket watch twice in a pretentious manner?

Professor Bai already knew what he was thinking. He took out the pocket watch from his pocket, put it in his hand, and explained with a smile: "I am an ordinary person, but this pocket watch is not an ordinary pocket watch."

Yan Muyun's heart moved slightly and his eyes widened slightly: "Extraordinary item? Is this a heritage item or a forbidden item?"

After the first few months of high-intensity surfing, he now has a clear enough understanding of the world today. Even because of the existence of Jie Ke, many secrets that are simply inaccessible through normal channels can occasionally be learned.

Extraordinary items are items that the awakened person has a very small chance of being able to pin his abilities during his lifetime on after death.

Scholars at home and abroad have studied this phenomenon and come up with the rules of this phenomenon.

Awakened people must have extremely strong obsessions when they die, regardless of good or evil. At the same time, the item needs to be related to its ability, such as a release medium for the ability, or an item that the ability can affect, so that it can inherit its ability. And if it is an item that he often carried with him during his lifetime and has a deep connection with himself, he has a greater chance of success.

Of course, this so-called greater probability of success is only relative. The probability of the extraordinary item itself appearing is terrifyingly low.

Today, there are no more than three hundred extraordinary objects that can be identified in the world.

Among them, extraordinary items are divided into inherited items and taboo items due to the obsession of the awakened person before his death.

The former is a normal extraordinary item, and there are no restrictions on its ability. The latter seems to be attached with the deep malice of its original owner. Every time it is used, its user or innocent people except the target will pay a heavy price.

For example, the most widely discussed extraordinary item in the Jieke forum is [Reincarnation Soul Stone].

After the user is fatally injured, even if his head is shattered into mud and his heart is blown to pieces, he will not die within three hours. As long as it can touch any creature, its will will attach to it and seize the body of the original owner.

The prerequisite for the use of this forbidden object is that ten people must be killed first and all their brains must be smeared on the [Reincarnation Soul Stone].

When he first saw this post, Yan Muyun was a little disdainful. He felt that it was just an urban legend made up by an imaginative guy, purely to scare people.

This rounding is almost the 22nd century. We have to pay attention to science. How can a person be resurrected after death? Not to mention seizing other people's bodies.

But as he experienced more and more, he saw too many strange powers, experienced the catastrophe of Menxia City, and even touched the finger of the "god" himself... No matter how unbelievable he was, it was inevitable. I believed that post quite a bit.

At this moment, he finally saw an extraordinary item in real life. Yan Muyun stretched out his hand, carefully took the dark gold pocket watch from Professor Bai's hand, and looked at it carefully with curiosity.

Bai Yongning had finished his meal at this time and allowed the food delivery robot to put away the dishes. At the same time, he explained: "This is a heritage item. Although there are restrictions on its use, it will not cause danger to the user or others. "

"Restrictions?" Yan Muyun's eyes flashed with interest.

"It cannot be used more than three times a day, and the user..." At this point, a smile appeared on Professor Bai's face, a little complacent and a little joking: "It can only be people with double doctorate degrees or above. "

Yan Muyun: "???"

What kind of messy restrictions are these? You can understand it by using it no more than three times. How can this gadget, which was almost eliminated at the end of the last century, detect whether the user has a doctorate? Two more? ?

Several researchers nearby looked at this scene with smiles, and Lin Shitong also looked here with a smile in his eyes.

Yan Muyun realized that he might have been tricked, and raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, Professor Bai continued: "This pocket watch is called [Mengdie], and its ability is..."

Yan Muyun waited for a long time without waiting for the next part, and asked a little eagerly: "What is its ability?"

"What did you want to say just now?" Professor Bai raised his eyebrows.

"I would like to say that only a great scholar like you, Professor Bai, who is profound in learning and poetry, is qualified to use such extraordinary items that exude elegance and nobility." Yan Muyun's expression was extremely sincere.

Professor Bai nodded with satisfaction and smiled, seeming to be quite satisfied: "[Mengdie]'s ability is to create a half-real and half-illusory world."

"Exactly?" Yan Muyun blinked.

Professor Bai coughed dryly and explained: "For example, if I create a desert around you now, the sun will burn your skin, the sand will get into your shoes, and the thorns of the cactus will prick your fingers... Even if you Even though you know that all this is fake and you should be in the restaurant of the scientific research building now, the impact of these environments on you will still happen."

Yan Muyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said, "What if I turn into a molten demon and make a big fuss? Is the damage I cause real?"

Professor Bai adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "The destruction you caused is real to that world. Maybe the yellow sand will turn into magma, maybe the cactus will be burned to char. But when the illusion is eliminated, the real world does not It won’t be affected.”

"This is also why [Dream Butterfly] will act as a second layer of insurance to prevent you from going berserk while you are in a coma. Even if your powers go out of control again after you wake up, at least for a short period of time, the damage you cause will not affect the real world. "

And this period of time is enough for those awakened ones who can subdue you to come over.

Bai Yongning didn't say the last sentence because it was not necessary.

"Magic." Yan Muyun clicked his tongue a few times and returned the pocket watch with some reluctance.

Bai Yongning put away his pocket watch, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Professor Bai." Yan Muyun called him.

"how?"

"I want to discuss an academic question with you."

"Oh?" Bai Yongning's eyes flashed with curiosity, wondering what questions this boy could ask.

Yan Muyun coughed dryly and said with an extremely serious expression: "I thought of an excellent thesis topic. You might be able to research it: 'Exploring the possible direct proportional relationship between the thickness of the skin of domestic scholars and their academic level.'"
