However, there was no doubt that Wei Wei had made rapid progress in mastering Evil Thoughts.
After discussing the problem of mental transmission with Wei Wei for a while, Feng Qi suddenly thought of a problem and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Sister Wei, using psychokinesis consumes your mental strength. Don’t you feel tired from such frequent training?”
Facing his question, Wei Wei smiled.
“I forgot to tell you that my mental strength and mental reserves are more than three times that of your current level.”
Hearing this, he was stunned.
At this point, human research in the mental domain was advancing gradually. The enhancement of mental strength primarily relied on consuming specialized spiritual materials generated within the domain field.
The increase in his mental strength was mainly related to killing a few elemental domain creatures in his future dream.
However, he was very curious about how Wei Wei did it.
Faced with his question, Wei Wei thought for a moment and said uncertainly.
“Could it be that I’ve been staying up all night?”
He didn’t know if staying up late could increase one’s mental power, but he knew that he would go bald. He felt that Wei Wei’s explanation was a little perfunctory.
“Alright, I’ll stop joking around. I don’t know why my mental strength is so strong. Ever since I interacted with Mu Yao, my body has changed a lot.”
“I exhibit minimal aging, boasting an extended lifespan as one of the most noticeable alterations. Moreover, my mental strength has seen an increase, and there’s a transformation in my physical prowess. Don’t assume I’m frail— my combat power evaluation can reach the upper Bronze tier. My physical fitness is also the key factor enabling me to frequently engage in overnight scientific research projects.”
Hearing Wei Wei’s explanation, Feng Qi was enlightened.
He had read Mu Yao’s memories and knew that her combat strength was extremely terrifying.
However, her origins remained a mystery. He only knew that she had lived for a long time and had been searching for miracles.
Scarlet’s first director, Ye Huang, Wei Wei, Mu Qing, and other historical figures were all miracles that Mu Yao was looking for.
She had a significant impact on history.
He even had reason to believe that Mu Yao might be behind the rapid progress of modern cultivation.
After some communication, Wei Wei chose to continue strengthening her faith connection.
Feng Qi stood up and left Wei Wei’s room, walking straight towards the virtual research department.
During breakfast, he interacted with the director of the newly established virtual gaming department, Liang Yu.
Liang Yu stated that he had applied all the virtual information Feng Qi brought back to Breaking Dawn’s architecture and invited him to participate in the test.
Before leaving, he decided to visit the virtual department.
The virtual department was located on the third floor of the Scarlet Research Institute.
Feng Qi came to the entrance of the main laboratory and stood still. The detection device automatically scanned and opened the door.
He was now one of the highest authorities in the Scarlet Research Institute.
He could travel freely without any hindrance.
At this moment, he entered the main laboratory of the virtual department.
The main laboratory covered an area roughly equivalent to a soccer field, housing a multitude of recently transported state-of-the-art technological equipment from the Future Research Institute.
To promote the technological development of the virtual reality department, the Future Research Institute also sent all the information related to virtual games to the Scarlet Research Institute.
Coupled with the information Feng Qi brought back from the future, the growth of the virtual department at this stage was very fast.
As he glanced around, he noticed Liang Yu standing in front of the main control console.
Standing at approximately 5.7 feet tall and aged 38, he bore signs of weariness, evident in the graying temples resulting from prolonged periods of staying up late.
Initially serving as the deputy director of the Intelligence Engineering Department, his primary responsibility involved managing its data. More recently, he assumed the role of director for the newly established virtual department.
As if sensing his gaze, Liang Yu turned around at this moment. The moment he saw Feng Qi, a smile appeared on his face. Then, he walked over quickly.
“Ah Qi, you’re here!”
“Yes, Director Liang. I’m here to take a look.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yu smiled and patted his shoulder.
“We’ve completed the first round of testing of the two virtual dungeons you brought. Do you want to experience it for yourself?”
Feng Qi was curious about the virtual dungeon and immediately nodded.
“Sure, thank you for the opportunity.”
“Don’t stand on ceremony with me. Just treat me as a friend. Follow me.”
As he spoke, Liang Yu turned around and walked towards the virtual gaming capsule in the distance.
Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately followed.
Liang Yu stood still in front of the virtual gaming capsule. Then, he turned around and introduced the updating process of the virtual gaming capsule to Feng Qi.
These high-end virtual gaming capsules, resembling flat eggs, differed significantly from the batch previously sent to Star City Academy.
The technology had undergone three innovations.
Whether it was the immersive experience in the game or the nourishment of the body during the game, it was far from what the initial version could compare to.
To deepen the immersion of virtual reality, which was the degree of realism, the materials used to build this high-end virtual gaming capsule had also been added with dream stones produced by the dream domain field.
On the other hand, the cost of this type of virtual gaming capsule was also extremely high.
The cost of one was $450,000. If it was sold in the future, it would cost at least $470,000, including logistics.
How to reduce costs at this stage was also a problem that the virtual department was resolving.
After all, the purpose of developing virtual games was to accelerate the development of human civilization. He had never thought of profiting from it. The higher price would be an important reason for affecting the promotion of the virtual gaming capsule.
After hearing Liang Yu’s introduction, Feng Qi decided to experience the functions of the high-end virtual gaming capsule.
He came to one of the virtual gaming capsules and pressed the “Start” button on the right according to Liang Yu’s instructions.
Immediately, the egg-like virtual gaming capsule’s outer cover slowly rose.
Next, Feng Qi went to the cubicle of the virtual gaming capsule and took out a brand new set of virtual equipment.
After putting them on, he lay down in the virtual gaming capsule.
After some controls, nutrient solutions spurted out from both sides of the virtual gaming capsule, and the capsule slowly closed.
After a short wait, his vision was shrouded in darkness.
[Welcome to Breaking Dawn, future saviors!]
At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded in his mind. Right on the heels of that, his vision changed, and what appeared in front of him was a futuristic city.
At the same time, a list of options appeared in front of him.
[Enter City (Free trade, communication, and other functional scenes)]
[Multiplayer Competitive Mode (Match-up Ranking System)]
[Multiplayer Competitive Mode (Custom)]
[Domain Dungeon Mode – Personal I Team (No. of Dungeons: 2)]
[Self-made Dungeon Mode – Pay to download dungeon map: 0 (Temporarily unavailable)]
[Self-made Dungeon Map Editor (Map materials: 23,215. Temporarily unavailable)]
[Simulation Training Room (Skill Release, Skill Combination)]
[Personal Space (Add Friends, View Battle Results, Honor Wall, Match Replay, Messages, Clothes and Accessories…)]
[Beta Scenario 1 (Temporarily unavailable)]
[Beta Scenario 2 (Temporarily unavailable)]
Compared to the past, the current list of options added to the city’s function and opened up the main scene of free trade.
Curious, he tapped the “City” button.
Immediately, the scene in the background rushed over, and the list of options in front of him disappeared.
He found himself in the center of a city square, surrounded by technological streets and towering buildings. However, there was no one in the scene except him.
Surveying his surroundings, he noted that everything appeared exceptionally lifelike, blurring the distinction between reality and illusion.
The play of light and shadow had achieved a level nearly indistinguishable from reality, exemplified by the radiant full moon overhead. Each time a dark cloud swept by, the illumination would promptly dim, only to brighten again when the cloud departed, mimicking the natural ebb and flow of light.
Walking on the streets, Feng Qi was amazed.
If this level of realism were employed for scientific research, one could envision significant leaps in human technology.
After strolling along the street, he summoned his attribute panel.
Next, he decided to test the newly added virtual dungeon function of the virtual game.
After tapping on the Dungeon option, the various dungeons appeared in front of him.
Beneath each scene, there was a corresponding text introduction along with a description of the difficulty level.
However, there were only two dungeons to choose from.
Other than that, there was also a notification of personal attributes, equipment, and items on the upper right corner.
Curious, he tapped on the second dungeon, the Silver Moon Domain Field..
