"What kind of insanely overpowered AR was this?"
Chen Yi looked at the description in the notes and couldn't help clicking his tongue in amazement.
Read information.
A vast amount of technical information surfaced in his mind.
After spending more than an hour fully absorbing it, Chen Yi picked up the modified and upgraded AR Glasses, connected them to his phone, and turned them into a stylish pair of sunglasses before putting them on.
In an instant.
A deeply immersive sensation arose within him.
Lifelike holographic images appeared before him, while bone-conduction audio whispered softly by his ears.
He opened a game. Daji, dressed in a maid outfit, appeared before him with a stunningly beautiful and seductive figure, accompanied by her alluring voice in his ears. It was nothing short of a gaming feast.
"This thing can actually realistically enhance the original visuals?"
Looking at the faint, lifelike fuzz on Daji's face, Chen Yi had only one word in mind.
Awesome!
Although the current AR could not be controlled through brainwaves, nor could it reproduce senses such as smell and taste.
In terms of sight and sound, however, its experience was no worse than that of the Brainwave Virtual Consciousness Machine.
No.
It was even better than the brainwave virtual consciousness experience.
That was because brainwave data and signals were affected by interference from hair, skin, the skull, and the surrounding environment.
Those disturbances gave brainwave virtual imagery a hazy, blurred quality, as though one were dreaming. The realism was lacking.
But with this AR device, images were projected directly onto the retina, which was equivalent to a unique form of neural connection.
Neural connection, neural virtuality.
It was far more precise and advanced than brainwaves.
"I should make a portable brainwave control device too."
After testing the AR's functions, Chen Yi planned to set up another brainwave controller for use with the AR.
"Wait."
Chen Yi picked up a sports headband and a brainwave toy, preparing to do some rough-and-ready modifications.
Then, he suddenly seemed to think of something.
He took a pair of AR Glasses he had bought, pulled out two wires, connected them to a virtual helmet, then glued the helmet onto the glasses, creating a grotesque AR device topped with a huge helmet.
[Item: Not Very Portable Brainwave AR Virtual Glasses] [Attributes: Energy x9.9, Strength x4.2, Information Computation x59.9, Information Processing x59.2, Brainwave Interconnection x59, Appearance x0.5, Portability x0.1] [Consciousness Waves: 2013615] [Add an External Function Module. Quantum Field Collapse and Reorganization. Subsequent information cannot be read. Adjustment consciousness wave consumption increases one hundredfold!] [Note: This is a wildly imaginative design that no one could come up with without being sick for two and a half years.]
"Adding an external module increases the adjustment cost a hundredfold. One adjustment goes from 200 to 20,000."
"Fortunately, the multiplier doesn't stack, so it's still acceptable."
"Still, this portability attribute appeared exactly as I wanted."
Looking at the new prompt, Chen Yi had an idea and began converting the other attributes into portability.
He still had just over two million consciousness waves.
A tiny expenditure of 20,000 was nothing to him.
Seven-colored light blossomed.
But after only a few seconds, it faded.
"Have I reached the limit?"
He looked at the portability attribute, which could no longer be upgraded after reaching 3.1, then at the AR Glasses on the table. They had shrunk considerably, but still had a basketball-sized helmet sticking out of them.
Chen Yi sighed helplessly.
The underlying technology was too poor, while the functions he wanted were too numerous.
As a result, the size could not be reduced any further, and the portability could not be improved any more.
Unless he lowered the core attributes, this size was already the limit.
It was like a drone model powered by chemical fuel. An energy attribute of 29.9 was the limit. To improve it further, he would have to change the type of energy source and raise the item's foundational technological level.
"Abandon fantasies. Face reality."
Chen Yi restored the attributes, returned the virtual helmet to its original state, then took out a brainwave toy and a sports headband.
He dismantled the brainwave toy, removed its circuit board and sensing electrodes, then attached them to the inner side of the headband.
He connected a high-capacity battery, a computer main unit, and an external Bluetooth-WiFi module in sequence.
A simple brainwave headband was complete.
[Item: Brainwave Control Headband] [Attributes: Energy x59.9, Strength x1.8, Information Computation x59.9(-36.2), Information Processing x0.2, Signal Transmission x0.2, Appearance x0.6, Communication x4.3, Portability x2.3] [Note: This is a hand-assembled, garbage-grade brainwave device. It is so crappy that a gust of wind could blow it apart.]
"This controller is meant to be used outside. That makes Signal Transmission, communication, and portability its core attributes.
"Energy, appearance, and strength are secondary attributes.
"The remaining Information Processing and Information Computation can all be handled by the main unit. I'll adjust them if I can; if I can't, or if adjusting them affects the other attributes, I'll give up on them."
With the adjustment plan settled.
Chen Yi focused his thoughts.
Whoosh!
Seven-colored light bloomed, enveloping everything on the table.
When the light faded, an exquisite, attractive, and fashionable sports headband appeared before him.
[Item: Exquisite and Efficient Brainwave Sensor!] [Attributes: Energy x11.9, Strength x10.8, Information Computation x5.9, Information Processing x7.2, Signal Transmission x40.2, Appearance x10.6, Communication x22.3, Portability x20.3] [This is an exquisite and fashionable sports headband with an ever-changing appearance. At the same time, it is also a precise brainwave sensing device. Its powerful communication function can transmit all of your brainwave signals to a brainwave virtual main unit. The brainwave virtual main unit then analyzes and processes them, converts them into various commands and images, and transmits them to external control and display devices. When used together, it can easily achieve a series of operations such as brainwave programming, brainwave painting, controlling instruments and equipment, writing, editing, special-effects production, gaming, and more.] [Multiple attributes have been detected as exceeding their initial values. Would you like to read the information? Yes/No.]
"Read!"
Information read.
A vast amount of technical information surfaced in his mind.
Chen Yi digested the information in his mind and cross-referenced it with the information he had obtained earlier.
In the end, a clear and complete industrial chain appeared before him, including all the supporting technologies for brainwave main units, virtual helmets, external displays, external brainwave sensors, and more.
"Not bad. Yifei has another card to play now."
Chen Yi nodded happily.
After letting his brain recover from the impact of all that information, Chen Yi took out his phone, opened a game, connected it to the brainwave main unit, then put on the AR Glasses and the sensor headband.
"I refuse to believe I can still lose with brainwave controls!"
The match began. Filled with anticipation, Chen Yi controlled Lu Bu, wielding a large halberd, and charged into the top lane.
Twenty minutes later.
With a score of 26/1/3 and slaughtering King-ranked players like pigs, Chen Yi received a three-month ban.
"???"
Looking at the three-month ban notification that popped up, Chen Yi said furiously, "Is there any fairness left in this damn game? Being too skilled counts as cheating?"
"I don't believe it."
Feeling thoroughly indignant, Chen Yi opened a battle royale game.
With immersive, lifelike audiovisual perception, godlike brainwave-controlled reflexes, and the low latency provided by powerful communication.
No player could escape Chen Yi's gun.
As long as they encountered him or entered his field of vision, they would often be shot several times and fall before they could even react.
In less than fifteen minutes, Chen Yi had wiped out everyone. His final result was an impressive eighty-six kills.
But before Chen Yi could start another match and enjoy himself a little longer.
A notification popped up.
[Your account has been placed on the security blacklist due to serious violations. This account has been suspended! Unban date: May 2122.]
Chen Yi was dumbfounded.
What kind of trash detection system was that?
He had not even cheated, yet they had banned his account.
"Gaming is way too deep for a three-hundred-month-old baby like me. I should just play with my drones."
"I'll remember this account ban!"
Chen Yi deleted the game, opened his laptop, and typed out lines upon lines of aerospace calculation code.
"In two hours, Penghai City will enter its lunar launch window. Today, I'll test whether this drone can really visit the moon."
Once he decided to do it, he acted immediately.
Chen Yi took out paper and a pen and roughly calculated the lunar trajectory.
After confirming there were no problems.
He took out his phone and logged into his self-media accounts across the major platforms.
He shared the classic song Above the Moon, then posted a status update everywhere.
[I am gazing upward, above the moon. Two hours from now, stay tuned!]
Sorry, I went to the hospital for a physical examination today, so this update came a little late.
