System Test

The group followed Miss into the neuron connection room for virtual reality, and seeing hundreds of blue neuron connection pods neatly arranged, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"This is quite the undertaking, even bringing in black technology!" Liu Chuang's jaw nearly dropped in surprise.

"Of course, it's always so shabby using those old projectors in classrooms, don't you think?" Wei Zitong said, looking up. At the very front of this large batch of blue connection pods, there was a row of ten purple connection pods. He then asked, "Miss, what are those purple ones for? Are they the same as these blue ones?"

Miss was somewhat amazed that Wei Zitong still had the presence of mind to observe such advanced, era-defying technology. Smiling, she replied, "Those purple neuron connection pods belong to the system administrators. An administrator must be present every time the virtual reality arena is activated."

"Heh heh heh, can I go into a purple connection pod then? Just to be an administrator for fun?" Liu Chuang quickly asked.

"No, you can't!" Miss waved her hand and said, "Only those with an official teacher or instructor qualification certificate issued by the academy can activate the administrator connection pods. Unless you work hard to become instructors for the next batch of students, you won't have a chance!"

"Ah, then I must work hard!" Liu Chuang said with a solemn expression.

Miss just smiled, not responding to Liu Chuang, and instead looked around at everyone. "Alright, students, please enter the neuron connection pods numbered 1 to 10 in order. Remember, the blue ones, don't go to the wrong ones. Instructor Jace and the system will provide further guidance once you are inside."

Everyone agreed and walked towards their assigned connection pods according to their numbers.

Wei Zitong was assigned to pod number 2. He was a diligent student. While most people were still fumbling around, unsure of what to do, he had already found the correct way to open it.

As his finger slid across the smart touch switch, a gentle female voice emanated from the pod: "Student Wei Zitong, neuron connection pod 2 has been activated!"

Immediately after, there was a "hiss" of air pressure release, and the pod door slowly opened.

"Hey, Zitong, how did you do that? Teach me!" Ge Xiaolun, who was beside him, saw this and quickly ran over to grab Wei Zitong, who was about to enter the pod.

"Oh, this is simple, just look at the instruction manual!" Wei Zitong pointed to the virtual display screen at the front of the neuron connection hall and said.

Hearing this, Ge Xiaolun turned his head and saw the usage instructions on the virtual display screen. He thanked Wei Zitong and hurried back to his position, number 1.

After hearing Wei Zitong's words, the others followed suit and finally managed to open their respective connection pods.

Wei Zitong waited for everyone else to enter before entering his own pod. He pressed the "start" button, and the pod door slowly closed. The gentle female voice continued, "Dear students, you may experience slight numbness and pain during the neuron connection process. Please do not be nervous; this is a normal reaction. Also, this is the initial activation of the Shenhe No.1 Neuron Connection System. We wish you pleasant memories in the virtual world!"

Listening to the gentle voice, Wei Zitong slowly relaxed his body and entered a drowsy state. Then, cold threads began to wrap around his brain. When he felt his entire head was completely enveloped, a surge of electricity suddenly came through the threads, making Wei Zitong jolt and wake up abruptly from his daze!

He touched his head and realized there were no cold threads. He was puzzled, was it his imagination? Or did the system malfunction?

It was pitch black all around. He tentatively moved his body and found that he was still inside the connection pod. He fumbled for the switch from memory and pressed it hard. The pod door opened normally.

No way? Did I not enter the virtual reality world? Where did it go wrong? Wei Zitong lay inside without immediately exiting, but soon, he heard other people's voices.

"Damn it, what's wrong with this crappy system? It shocked me and didn't even start? Why am I still in this hall?" Zhao Xin said with a frustrated tone.

"What's going on? Why didn't I get in either?" Liu Chuang's voice also came out.

"Holy crap, this system is a scam! Made it all fancy and high-tech, then it breaks down halfway!" Ge Xiaolun was also complaining.

Still in the hall? Wei Zitong scrambled up and found that they were indeed still in the lobby of the virtual reality connection room. The others also climbed out of their respective connection pods, complaining dejectedly.

Wei Zitong looked around the hall and noticed something different. At least Miss and Jace were gone. They couldn't have left in such a short time, could they? In Wei Zitong's opinion, the time was indeed very short; he had just been shocked and then woke up. Before he entered the connection pod, he had seen Miss closing the connection pod instructions on the virtual display at the front of the hall.

This was the first oddity. The second oddity was that the row of purple administrator connection pods in front was gone!

Yes, gone! There was no sense of incongruity; clearly, the hall's scene had been adjusted. The only way to adjust the layout of an entire building in such a short time was if this was the virtual world!

It's just that the process was so realistic that no one noticed they had already entered the virtual world.

"This is the virtual world!" Wei Zitong declared.

"What? How is that possible?" Liu Chuang asked incredulously. He then pinched his thigh hard, crying out in pain, which drew laughter from the crowd.

"This is the virtual world!" Wei Zitong emphasized, then glanced at Liu Chuang, who was still rubbing his thigh. "It's not a dream, is it? What's the point of that trick? Miss said long ago that the feeling here is incredibly real."

"This, this is really the virtual world? Zitong, don't scare me!" Zhao Xin became a little scared. It was too real, making him a little unable to distinguish between virtual and reality.

"Why would I lie to you? Look carefully, the hall's layout has been adjusted, and that row of purple administrator connection pods is gone!" Wei Zitong said. "Can that be done in such a short time?"

"Maybe, maybe we slept for a very long time?" Ge Xiaolun asked uncertainly. "When I usually fall asleep, it's just closing my eyes and opening them, and then it's morning!"

"Impossible!" Lena interjected at this moment. She looked around the hall and said, "I didn't receive any system prompt for entering sleep mode, and here, I can't feel the real solar energy!"

"Wow, so magical!" Rui Mengmeng didn't think that much. After knowing that this was the virtual world, she could only exclaim in amazement.

"Wormhole can't be calculated either..." Du Qiangwei said.

Wei Zitong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly used his invisibility ability, but it was ineffective...

It seemed that this place was the reality, because those strange technological abilities of the Super Seminary seemed too fantastical. Here, everyone was the same, just ordinary people...

"Damn it, then what's the point of playing? We can't even use our abilities!" Zhao Xin felt a bit of fear, his voice trembling slightly.

Just then, the space around them vibrated, and the gentle female voice they had heard when entering the connection pods sounded out: "Hello, students. I am Xiao Ai, the intelligent steward of the Shenhe No.1 Virtual Reality System. The system is currently adapting to your gene models. Please wait..."

"Wow, so magical!" Rui Mengmeng looked up and around, exclaiming in amazement!

"So it was a system issue, you scared me to death!" Zhao Xin patted his chest, relieved.

"Ge Xiaolun, Gene Model: Galaxy Power, adapting..."

"Lena, Gene Model: Sun of Light, adapting..."

"Liu Chuang, Gene Model: Nuo Star God of War, adapting..."

"Du Qiangwei, Gene Model: Space Control, adapting..."

"..."

"Cheng Yaowen, Gene Model: Heart of Earth, adapting..."

"Wei Zitong, Gene Model: Unknown, adaptation failed!"

Wei Zitong was utterly bewildered. Why were there so many bizarre issues happening lately?

"Initiating direct fusion with student Wei Zitong's gene engine... Warning! Fusing with a Void Level Engine requires host authorization. Please select: Yes or No?"

A virtual interface option abruptly appeared before Wei Zitong. He hesitated for a moment before finally clicking "Yes."
