Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 54 Forbidden Knowledge
Jiang Lei seemed to have other important work to do. He explained the precautions in detail to Li Nanke and then said goodbye and left.

Only Li Nanke was left in the room in a daze.

He glanced at the camera in the corner of the ceiling of the room, then picked up the list and checked the dream data disk according to the markings.

"Basic Classification of Taboo Objects", "Compendium of Pheromone Categories", "On the Relationship between Pheromones and Supernatural Powers", "Origin of Taboo Objects", "Classification of Taboo Objects"...

After carefully flipping through the list, Li Nanke immediately understood.

Director Frank had no intention of making things difficult for him or giving him a hard time. These dream courses were all the most basic knowledge about taboos.

Even the most basic knowledge about taboo items is absolutely confidential to ordinary extraordinary people. Even if those people spend a lot of money, they cannot learn similar professional knowledge.

After all, only those who have experienced forbidden disasters know how dangerous forbidden objects are.

Studying taboos and screening, classifying and summarizing relevant knowledge from them also involves great risks. In other words, these professional knowledge about taboos were gained at the cost of human lives, so its value is self-evident.

You want to join the research team, but you don’t even know how many categories of taboos there are and what levels they are divided into. It’s like you can’t even recognize one, two, three, four, and five, but you want to discuss the Riemann hypothesis with a group of mathematicians. Even if you are Gauss’s reincarnation, you have to be sent to study hard.

Although Li Nanke is "favored" by the Great Beyond, his knowledge of forbidden objects and supernatural powers is actually very shallow. The Great Beyond only requires him to strive to survive and become stronger, but does not teach him anything about supernatural knowledge.

If I could understand the principles of forbidden objects and the mechanism of supernatural powers more clearly, it would surely be of great help to my future dreams.

To seize power, you must not only know the results but also the reasons behind them. Otherwise, you will never be able to control your own destiny.

Li Nanke adjusted his mindset, inserted the data disk titled "Classification of Taboo Objects" into the synchronizer, and lay on the bench, slowly closing his eyes...

The dream was about a small laboratory. In front of the podium was an old man wearing a white laboratory coat. He had a thin face, graying temples, and neatly combed silver hair. He wore a pair of round metal-rimmed glasses, and through the lenses one could see his deep, bright eyes.

The old man glanced at him calmly, took out a marker from the chest pocket of his white coat, and wrote on the whiteboard while saying, "Today we will learn the classification of taboo objects..."

'Taboo objects are divided into 9 levels according to their degree of danger, from low to high, they are safe level, cautious level, warning level, dangerous level, critical level, disaster level, calamity level, world-destroying level... and the last one is the unknown level. "

"Unknown level. All data and information about this forbidden object cannot be learned or known. Otherwise, an uncontrollable and unpredictable disaster will occur."

"World-destroying level, as the name suggests, is a dangerous level that can cause a disaster that destroys the world. Usually, it cannot be actively contained or sealed. Only checks and balances can be used to prevent the forbidden objects from causing disasters... Taboo objects of this level begin with the number 0."

"The most common forbidden object known as the Second Sun, numbered 0-003, codenamed 'Eternal Sun Wheel'..."

"Disaster-level, the number starts with 1, and the numbers of the taboo objects of the following levels gradually increase. Disaster-level represents..."

Li Nanke suddenly interrupted: "Sir, what is the number of the Unknown Level?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "It's unknown, the artificial number will not be made public, and it's not included in the lecture content. And remember, don't interrupt my lecture. If you have any questions, write them down first and ask them after I finish. Don't do it again!"

"Let's continue..."

Li Nanke called out the synchronization program and put his full mental will into it. As he concentrated, the dream synchronization rate soared, and as a result, the flow rate ratio between dream time and real time became larger and larger.

He was completely immersed in the old man's lecture, like a long-dried sponge that finally encountered a downpour of rain, and absorbed these taboos and extraordinary knowledge that he had never heard of like an infatuated person.

The old man spoke for more than two hours, explaining the classification of each level, how big the disaster generally corresponds to the taboos at that level, and the general means of checks and balances. He even cited many real examples.

When Li Nanke completely memorized the knowledge and exited the dream after asking about the doubts in his mind, he forgot to ask the old man's name.

I exited the dream and returned to the study room, only to see that 10 minutes had passed.

"The time flow rate is nearly 13:1. Normal people can't withstand such an exaggerated time flow rate..." Li Nanke immediately replaced it with another data disk "Basic Classification of Taboo Objects" and inserted it into the dream synchronizer again.

This dream synchronizer is not the commercial or civilian version circulating in the market, but a confidential version that is not open to the public. It can not only greatly adjust the time rate, but also removes the basic synchronization rate limit. Ordinary people can achieve a maximum synchronization rate of 99%.

Moreover, this thing also comes with an expensive brain wave sleep-aid device. After wearing it, as long as you want to sleep, you can fall asleep in just a few minutes. It can be said to be good news for people with sleep disorders.

Li Nanke thought that if he could take this thing away and then go back to transform his dreams, his income would probably increase several times.

But this idea is similar to the emperor using a golden hoe to farm.

Because the basic salary of an intern in the research department alone is at the level of 20 yuan a month, not to mention various very generous subsidies and performance, as well as all-day buffet meals, dormitory arrangements, dedicated shuttle vehicles, paid vacations and residence rights in high-precision areas.

After being promoted to a higher position, the salary will increase significantly, and the company will receive benefits such as free medical care, exemption from high taxes, free real estate, permanent residence in high-end areas, marriage introduction, free education for children, etc.

The free medical care here is not the kind that requires waiting in line for several months or even half a year or a year. Instead, it is provided by a professional medical team at Gospel Biotech, and even medical treatment for extraordinary people. Similarly, the children's education is provided by top institutions.

I have to say, the treatment in the Crisis Management Bureau is really damn good. They have the strong support of corporate giants and family chaebols behind them. They are really rich and powerful.

Just by changing to a low-level intern status, your living conditions can change dramatically.

Li Nanke turned on the brainwave sleep aid device and fell into a deep sleep again, trying to absorb all the precious knowledge...

……

Behind the monitor, an old man in a white coat was sitting, surrounded by a number of people in research suits.

A researcher said, "Director, this guy is not learning, why did he change the class after ten minutes?"

"Director, after all, he is from the Vientiane Department. Shouldn't we teach him slowly? If you cram so much in at once, I wouldn't be able to handle it either," said a female researcher.

"What's wrong with the Universal System? Even if you are a Universal System user, you still have to learn the basics."

"The classes were changed so quickly, he didn't think he could get away with it like this, did he?"

Jiang Lei frowned and retorted, "I don't think that's the case. I'm always very accurate in judging people. Don't be fooled by Xiao Li's gentle appearance. In fact, he has a ruthless spirit in his bones. If he really gets ruthless to himself, these courses may be difficult and time-consuming to learn, but he can eventually finish them."

"And the director probably arranged this to see Xiao Li's attitude, and to tell Xiao Li in this way that although Wanxiang is an excellent talent, it also requires one's own efforts to fully develop the talent... Director, do I understand correctly?"

Director Frank, who was wearing a white coat and a marker on his chest, rarely smiled and nodded, with all the wrinkles on his face.

A group of researchers nearby looked at Jiang Lei as if he were a ghost. Well, a few of us are speaking freely here and expressing our opinions, but you are the only one who is trying hard to flatter us. We are all close to each other, and you use your brain to think with us. You understand the ways of the world.

The good academic atmosphere in the laboratory is now gradually turning into a corrupt atmosphere, and it is probably because of you.

Frank coughed twice and said seriously, "Okay, go study the topic and analyze the forbidden fragments. Each research mentor and his researchers should produce a complete research report."

A large number of researchers immediately scattered.

Director Frank has seen Li Nanke's detailed information. The Human Resources Department of the Control Bureau conducted an extremely detailed background check. They even investigated clearly who attended the several parties that Li Nanke held after he was diagnosed with a serious illness.

How could he not know that Li Nanke had worked on Black Dream transformation before?

The dream course was arranged to enable Li Nanke to learn the knowledge quickly.
