Chapter 460 - 286: Great Sun Glaze (Part 1)
Zhuo Feiming was still explaining the test results for the Holographic Docking Pod, and Ye Shuping was listening intently.
’He had always been a strong supporter of this project. If the Holographic Docking Pod could achieve universal connectivity, allowing even Martial Artists below the third realm to use it, it would play a huge role in training grassroots Martial Artists.’
’At the very least, training for things like superpowered weapons could be added, which would significantly enhance the combat capabilities of grassroots Martial Artists.’
Ye Shuping was paying close attention to this matter. He had just been holed up in the Primordial Sea and Sky Realm recently, but he would be able to see a detailed report soon.
Once the Holographic Docking Pod was perfected, what Ye Shuping most looked forward to was battle simulations.
Take the Abyss for example. The strength of the Primordial Demon alien race was relatively balanced and easy to quantify.
By inputting the Cangyun Constant and a relatively realistic model of the Abyss’s environment, they could simulate the strength required for humanity to achieve complete occupation.
Not only that, but they could also run simulations for border territories occupied by other alien races or those currently in a state of war.
This way, they would at least know what their target was.
Not to mention its use in training Martial Artists’ abilities, the Holographic Docking Pod had epoch-making significance.
As the two continued their discussion, Ye Shuping suddenly asked Yu Fei for his opinion. He was eager to hear Yu Fei’s thoughts and test the sharpness of his mind.
"Yu Fei, what do you think of the Holographic Docking Pod? What are your thoughts on how to use it? You’re a young man, your mind is more flexible. Let’s hear it!"
Zhuo Feiming and Tang Lihui also looked over with great interest.
The Holographic Docking Pod was of monumental importance, with a wide range of applications. Tang Lihui was thinking about distributing the pods throughout all human schools, allowing students to receive the best martial arts education from the very beginning. Perhaps they could even simulate the sensation of qi, accelerating the growth rate of Martial Artists.
But he didn’t say this aloud. He was also curious about Yu Fei’s opinion. This little junior brother’s combat power was in a league of its own among the Celestial Prides of his generation.
Especially after his return this time, he could sense that Yu Fei had the ability to injure him. This was an incredible feat. A mere fifth-realm cultivator actually had a chance to wound him. Even if it was just a scratch, it represented his extraordinary potential and strength.
Yu Fei, however, was reminded of the Grandmaster Meng Jun who had refereed the Celestial Pride Positioning Competition. He recalled the wildly ostentatious Demon Venerable Armor Meng Jun wore in the virtual reality, and without a second thought, he said,
"Teacher, could we develop massively multiplayer online games? We could incorporate the martial arts and cultivation system, or other genres would work too! Like cultivation games, dungeon crawlers, or even ones with magic. That should be a lot of fun!"
In his past life, he had read many novels and had always longed for this kind of immersive online game. Unfortunately, he never saw any news of them before he died and transmigrated. He never expected to have the chance to witness it after crossing over.
There were other ideas he couldn’t very well mention, like certain 18+ things... virtual girlfriends, cyber-play...
Lost in his daydreams of virtual online games, Yu Fei didn’t notice Ye Shuping’s undisguisedly dark expression, or the other two who were staring blankly.
...
"Online games, huh... That does sound interesting. Little Junior Brother has a unique perspective!"
Zhuo Feiming couldn’t hide his amusement.
Ye Shuping waved his hand. "Yu Fei, go back and rest for now. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to begin the next stage of your breakthrough cultivation!"
"Yes, Teacher!"
’To be honest, after being away for three days, he was starting to miss Li Mengyao!’
After he left, Zhuo Feiming couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"Little Junior Brother is hilarious!"
Such a great invention like the Holographic Docking Pod was enough to fundamentally change human society’s martial arts and cultivation world.
Education, war simulations, military training, martial arts cultivation—the list of applications was endless, and every field had vast potential.
But Yu Fei’s focus was on creating large-scale immersive online games. The idea was as strange as it was amusing.
"By the way, Teacher, in that personality assessment you guys were tinkering with, what type was Yu Fei?"
At this, Ye Shuping sighed again. That experiment could be considered a failure. Aside from offering some guidance in the selection of mental Secret Techniques, the act of classifying and defining a Martial Artist’s personality was, in the long run, quite unreliable.
Tianwen had already reached a final conclusion: a person’s personality isn’t set in stone. As their experience deepens and their status changes, their personality and behavioral patterns often develop in unpredictable ways. And if someone suffers a sudden calamity, with great ups and downs in their life, their behavioral patterns can also change dramatically.
This was just from tracking ordinary people; it was even more complicated with Martial Artists. Their personalities could also be influenced by their Cultivation Techniques. Someone who majored in a fire-element Cultivation Technique would tend to be irascible and excitable, while someone specializing in earth-element techniques might easily become taciturn.
"So, there’s no need to bring up this experiment again!"
But Zhuo Feiming pressed on.
"Teacher, you said a Martial Artist’s personality traits will change later on, but what about now? It should still be relatively reliable in the short term, right?"
Ye Shuping answered faintly, "Yu Fei’s test result was: Wind Chaser: Chaotic Balance!"
The moment he finished speaking, Tang Lihui looked at Ye Shuping in astonishment, and Zhuo Feiming laughed so hard he doubled over.
"Teacher, isn’t that a personality type completely opposite to yours? HA HA HA..."
When this experiment first came out, all of them had tried it out for fun, which also served to provide preliminary data for the experiment. Martial Artists at the Grandmaster level and above undergo a qualitative change in their spiritual soul, clarifying their minds and seeing their true nature. They wouldn’t care about the content of a social experiment’s test, but it could, on the contrary, help them understand themselves from a different angle.
Later, the experiment was gradually rolled out among the Celestial Pride Martial Artists, with tracking that lasted for decades. Unfortunately, as the Martial Artists grew, the study of their personality patterns became increasingly inaccurate. However, it did have some effect in the early stages.
