CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 60 FLICKER

"Alright, congratulations to you all, the first round of testing is complete. Now, please share your experiences and feedback."

"Let’s start according to the numbers."

"First, please have number 1, Lin Shuwang, provide feedback. You can share your feelings and any suggestions you might have."

"Okay."

Lin Shuwang displayed a calmness that exceeded his peers.

"I felt that my sense of touch was completely amplified, and inside I was very calm. It seems like I figured out some things and gained a new understanding of life. Also, I reviewed the entire high school biology, history, and geography textbooks. It felt like my efficiency was countless times higher than when I studied by myself. However, towards the end, I started feeling heat in my head which turned into a headache."

Everyone present was stunned.

Two minutes!

This boy managed to review the entire high school curriculum for three subjects.

He could definitely participate in "Super Brain"!

"Overall, I really like ’Sensory Paradise’. I think if I study within it, the efficiency would be excellent."

Lin Shuwang showed a satisfied expression.

"Any suggestions?"

Zheng Lin asked.

"Not for now."

"Alright. Later you can continue experiencing other channels. The single-player mode has a total of 200 levels."

According to Zheng Lin’s plan, it usually takes at least ten minutes for an average person to pass a level.

Yet Lin Shuwang passed the first level in just two minutes, which was astonishing.

Zheng Lin was curious to see how many levels Lin Shuwang could clear in today’s two-hour session.

"Next, please share number 2, Liang Hong."

Liang Hong sat upright, displaying the standard posture of a member of an institution.

"First, I want to acknowledge your professional spirit in designing this application."

"’Sensory Paradise’ surprised me a lot. The advantages of this application are obvious. I could fully experience the amplification of touch. To be honest, I have been drinking quite a bit these past few years, and all the doctor comrades here should know how drinking affects the senses. My tongue has become numb, and when I drink too much, I often can’t taste anything. My body feels numb too, as if I have no control. I feel like I can’t move, and everything I touch feels as though there’s a layer between. But in ’Sensory Paradise,’ I could clearly feel my own body, my five senses, my limbs. I was awake; I wasn’t drunk anymore. That’s the first point. The second point is that the instructions were clear, making me feel safe. Third, the scenes inside were very realistic, which made me feel relaxed."

"As for the shortcomings. First, I couldn’t see anything and had to passively wait, only finding some paths with difficulty. Second, I would like more colors designed for the sensor. I prefer green, but this color was a bit dull."

"Alright, thank you for your feedback. We will continue to optimize."

Zheng Lin responded patiently.

"Oh, by the way, for the first time inside ’Sensory Paradise,’ I had no desire for alcohol. I’m looking forward to some new experiences next."

Liang Hong added.

Zhao Xin’an’s eyes lit up.

Liang Hong moved through the levels slowly, almost twice the usual time, but there was an effect.

The experience of touch could change Liang Hong’s need for alcohol addiction, which was undoubtedly positive feedback.

"Thank you for your feedback. It’s really important to us, and I wish you a better experience ahead."

Zhao Xin’an replied.

"Next, number 3, Wei Lian, please share."

At this moment, Wei Lian had a sensor on his head. His small head contour looked amusing as the synapse ends swayed near his temples.

Suddenly, the sensor slipped down, and a synapse hung on Wei Lian’s nose.

He appeared quite embarrassed, fumbling to adjust it.

Qin Si quickly stepped forward to help Wei Lian readjust the sensor.

"Thank you, miss, you have such a kind heart."

Wei Lian straightened his clothes and began to speak.

"My experience felt like arriving in a sacred area, my soul cleansed and my mind started to calm. Initially, I was worried about being watched, but in ’Sensory Paradise,’ it felt like there was a force comforting me, making me believe I was safe. Inside, it was just me, and I could do whatever I wanted without anyone else appearing, so I didn’t need to worry. I associated it with ’Les Misérables,’ and when I thought of it, I redeemed myself. Then I realized there were no police, no shadow to follow, and some of my constant worries faded away."

Wei Lian’s eyes cleared up, as though the chaotic state inside had temporarily ceased.

"Very impressive, Wei Lian."

Zheng Lin couldn’t help but encourage.

"Any suggestions?"

"Oh, yes, how do you feel about wearing the sensor?"

Zheng Lin asked.

For older people, it was uncertain whether they could adapt.

"Initially it was tight, with some tension around my head, especially when first entering the application and feeling anxious. My whole head felt tense, but then I got used to it."

Wei Lian touched his head.

"Alright. During the test, as we mentioned before, whether it’s sensing risk or deployment and so on, you can exit at any time if needed."

Zheng Lin reiterated.

"Next, let’s continue testing until 11 this morning. If anyone wants to take a break or go to the bathroom, you can pause and exit."

"I’m going to the bathroom."

Liang Hong stood up.

"Alright, number 1 and 3, you can continue now."

Two IDs appeared on the screen consecutively.

During the morning test period, there was unified arrangement and sharing time for the first level. At this moment, less than an hour and a half remained of the morning test time.

Shen Jingqi focused on Lin Shuwang’s projection.

Just one minute later.

Lin Shuwang cleared the second level.

[000001LSW] cleared the second level: time used 1 minute.

This speed caught Zhao Xin’an and Zheng Lin’s attention.

"That’s incredibly fast!"

Zhao Xin’an clicked his tongue.

"I want to find an opportunity to study his microbiome after his test is over. By the way, he is Dr. Shen’s patient. Can you ask him about his willingness?"

"He will be discharged in three days. I can ask him about it."

"Discharged soon? That means he has been cured, right? Dr. Shen, you’re truly accomplished at a young age!"

Zhao Xin’an gave a thumbs-up.

Lin Shuwang’s condition was relatively stable, allowing him to be discharged. After discharge, he would be monitored, and if no issues arose, he could return to school.

Quickly, Liang Hong returned as well.

The three test subject IDs and various indicators were all in testing status on the screen.

Throughout the morning, Shen Jingqi observed the states of the three test subjects, occasionally communicating with Zheng Lin, acquiring many new recognition techniques.

"It’s almost 11 o’clock, everyone, get ready. I will proceed to stop the process."

Zheng Lin issued instructions.

Shen Jingqi saved Lin Shuwang’s mid-test data.

As the gaze was about to leave the screen, a change happened in the brain imaging projection.

Upon closer inspection.

The pineal gland area of Lin Shuwang began to flicker.
