[Interstellar] Rise of a Monk

After the exam officially started, Wen Zihan was worthy of his "Best Newcomer Award" and entered the scene in a second——

He didn't even need to change his expression - he just said coldly in an impatient tone: "Say it!"

As a former immortal cultivator, Xia Qiulai, who has been reborn from the body, is now able to control everything in this body more accurately.According to the picture he saw earlier, he showed a more exaggerated smile than Mr. A. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and stroked the pad of his index finger with his thumb: "Master, did you forget something?"

The smell of a stock market swindler hits his face.

Wen Zihan's cold face finally changed a little - it became colder, and he took out air from his leg pocket (he was wearing casual pants without pockets) (it should be a bank-bank- card), throwing it at Xia Qiulai.

His movements are smooth and flowing, all kinds of handsome.

Xia Qiulai raised his hands, made a gesture of picking up the card, and squinted his eyes with a smile - it made people feel exaggerated - but this is how A performed in the original play, and he even artificially lowered the range , saying the lines in his mouth: "Okay! The young master is a believer!"

Next, Xia Qiulai roughly reproduced what he had seen before.

Why only roughly?

Because the original owner didn't have that level.

Even though the examiner and the students didn't know the specific situation of the original owner, and although Xia Qiulai hoped to pass the passing line, he didn't dare to stand out too much.After all, a perfect simulation and a deviating interpretation are two different things.The former owner couldn't do it at all, but the latter was much simpler, he only needed to "extraordinarily perform" a little bit, and no one could fault it.

After all, he is not the real "Xia Qiulai", nor does he have the ability to challenge the world, so it's better to keep a low profile now.If it is discovered, the end will not be so good.

A few minutes of play is over quickly.

After the performance, Xia Qiulai just waved goodbye to Wen Zihan who left in a hurry, then patted his ass and left.

He has already done what he can do, and the final result depends on whether the examiner who seems to have a problem really has a problem.

At this time, in the examination area, the examiner surnamed Cen, who had a short spare time due to the broadcast time, clasped his fingers, rested his elbows on the table, and sat silently, as if he was seriously watching the pair of examinees in front of him.

Between his elbows are several A4-sized grade registration forms fanned out.One of them was obviously pulled out and placed at the top, and the bust on the upper right clearly indicated that it belonged to "Xia Qiulai".This report card only has simple character information such as name, gender, professional class, and the most important score column and comment box are still blank.

Compared with Cen examiner's calm expression, his heart can be described as turbulent.

There are some things that he has never experienced before, but he has to bite the bullet and do it.

Obviously, Xia Qiulai's appearance in the examination room represented that the previous plan carefully arranged by the nobleman and which he knew nothing about had failed.He doesn't know what's wrong with it, he just needs to do what he can.

He has no choice...

His eyes stayed on the blank score column for a long time, and he finally filled in a bright red "57".

……

After Xia Qiulai noticed that the Cen examiner who had never appeared in the original owner's memory seemed to have malicious intentions towards "Xia Qiulai", he no longer cared about the test results this time.Even though the probability of failure is high, some points are better than none.

It's also very interesting to say that in this world, test scores are also calculated according to the rule of "full score of [-] points, minimum pass of [-] points".The original owner with a smart head had a final score of over [-] in all theoretical courses, which can be described as a top student.

Back in the dormitory, there was still no one there.Among the five old friends, Wen Zihan, who was in the same class, had just left school, and the other four probably either passed the exam or went out for a while.

Exams are over, and the holidays are next.

Xia Qiulai, who was sitting by the bed, inquired about the remaining property of the original owner based on his memory.Looking at the four-figure balance, Xia Qiulai first lamented that the student dormitories of the prestigious schools in the interstellar era are all in good condition and are provided free of charge.Then he silently connected to "Skynet". He had to find a summer job, otherwise he would have no money to pay tuition next semester.It's also fortunate that the original owner hasn't arranged the holiday schedule, otherwise Xia Qiulai can only bite the bullet and continue to work according to the original owner's plan-this is not conducive to his faster and better integration into the world.

After clicking on the brain, Xia Qiulai's first concern was not where to recruit people, but the history encyclopedia.Although he has the memory of the original owner for 21 years, there are always some vague and useless places in a person's memory. The impression he got from watching the "documentary" is not as good as seeing it with his own eyes.What's more, how can one's own knowledge be compared with others'.

Flip through the history of the world at a glance, sort out the main context, and click on the relevant encyclopedia.

After a whole night, Xia Qiulai contentedly read what he wanted to know and what he could know.

He was right not to immediately try to connect to the real "Skynet".

He is now using the projection mode, which is equivalent to using a portable Internet access.The difference is that the "portable" is a smart brain the size of a watch, while the "screen" is a holographic projection that can be operated with a "touch screen".In the projection mode, of course, "Internet" can also be used, but some functions cannot be displayed.

In this way, we have to briefly introduce the Skynet system.

As many future interstellar articles have said, the future world has a network that connects everyone, and has technology that allows people to enter a virtual world while lying down.

The Skynet system, jointly developed by the Sky Empire and the Splendid Federation, is the product with the highest technological content among human forces in the world.

In this world, there is actually no difference between surfing the Internet or not surfing the Internet, because every technological product is in a "networked" state, and there is no such thing as "paying Internet fees".

"Skynet" connects human beings, large and small, and unless you don't use technological products, everything about you is under its watchful eye—of course, certain existences are privileged.

Even though all human beings use the same Skynet system, because countries cannot be closely connected, the "Skynet" is "divided".For example, the residents of the Sky Empire can only enter the empire area, and the residents of the Fairview Federation can only enter the federation area.As for the theory of "climbing the wall", not only skills and connections are required, but also qualifications.

As a rare product of cooperation between two behemoths, the Skynet system is naturally not just a "network".Its core lies in "conscious Internet access".For example, this mode is roughly equivalent to some "holographic online game novels" that Xia Qiulai once read. As long as you lie in the xx warehouse or wear a helmet, glasses, headband, etc., you can enter the virtual world.

Although the description of this matter in the encyclopedia is vague, Xia Qiulai, who has been pondering the development history of the empire for a whole night, speculates that entering "Skynet" is related to what the world calls "spiritual power", that is, it is related to the soul.

Opening the drawer attached to the desk beside her, Xia Qiulai took out a pair of "sunglasses" with silver frames and black lenses.This is the key to the real "Skynet".Squinting his eyes, Xia Qiulai carefully studied the "sunglasses" in his hand, becoming more and more sure of his guess.

He doesn't understand science. He studied liberal arts at the beginning, and later traveled to a world of idealism, which is fundamentally out of sync with technology.But just looking at the problem from the monk's point of view is also rewarding. This thing can draw out a wisp of spirit and plunge into an unknown place—or in other words, there is the so-called "virtual world".

So here comes the problem, this thing is bound.

Scientifically speaking, everyone's mental waves are different, so since the "Skynet" came into being, there has never been a case of "stolen account".Unscientifically speaking, there are no identical souls in the world, and what is taken away is the body, not the soul.

To sum up, if there is no accident, the "sunglasses" in Xia Qiulai's hand, which is bound with the original owner's information, cannot be used at all.Because this thing is directly related to the personal file of the original owner, this cannot be solved by buying a new one.The original owner's "spiritual power" was reserved in "Skynet", but Xia Qiulai did not.Even if he is "Xia Qiulai" from the perspective of the body, but from the perspective of the soul, he is definitely a black household!

But the interstellar world pays attention to "brain death", they only recognize "spiritual waves"!In other words, if Xia Qiulai wants to live in the interstellar world with the identity of "Xia Qiulai", he must first hide it from the Skynet system!

"Fortunately, I kept an eye out..."

Silently staring at a small, dim spot of light in his soul, Xia Qiulai, who finally had time to study the new world roughly, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his thoughtful self.

As a former monk, Xia Qiulai's strength is the standard in the entire practice world.Once time travelling, the new world is incompatible with "cultivating the Tao".This world is not without "spiritual energy", but they are too weak, or they are too lazy, not as lively and easy to use as the world of practice.And because there are "supernatural powers" in the interstellar world, it actually has its own unique energy conversion system.

Therefore, Xia Qiulai has two choices——

First, continue the system of the previous world, but this requires "transcoding".However, the amount of this project was too large, and Xia Qiulai's own level was not enough to support him to solve this problem fundamentally.

Then, he can only choose the second option, which is "do as the Romans do".

Fortunately, the "spiritual power" in the interstellar world is similar to the "spiritual consciousness" in the practice world.

It was his divine soul that Xia Qiulai traveled to this world at the beginning—he was also a "black householder" to the whole world, and he unexpectedly possessed all the achievements he had obtained in the spiritual world in the practice world, even near the divine soul. There is also a small amount of spiritual power attached to it.And the first person he saw was "Xia Qiulai".At that time, the physical body of "Xia Qiulai" had been occupied by "death energy", and his spirit was on the verge of dissipating.

It was at this time that Xia Qiulai resolutely seized the original owner and collected his few soul fragments.In order to give himself a healthy body, he spent the rest of his spiritual energy.

At that time, the decision to seize the house was completely accidental. He didn't even know the details of this "different world". From a certain point of view, it was too stupid and bold.

Later, after extracting the memory from the fragments of the original owner's soul, Xia Qiulai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

It was his misfortune that the original owner was unable to ask for help because of the machine strike; it was his luck that Xia Qiulai successfully seized the house because of the machine strike without "people" knowing.

At the beginning, after extracting the memories of the original owner, he could completely wipe out the latter's soul fragments, but he didn't understand the world yet, so he shouldn't go too far, and even if he tried to leave a small hidden danger, he still couldn't erase such fragments for the time being.If he solved the original owner's last soul fragment by a single thought, he would be blinded now.
