After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 380 Due Date

The group spent several hours in the virtual world.

Apart from Xu Lin's special case, the longest time others stayed was a little over four hours, and the shortest was a little over two and a half hours.

There are many technologies to overcome next, and extending the duration is one of them, but it involves more than one technology.

In addition to testing duration, there are also tests such as testing the sensory system.

In Xu Lin's view, the sensory system was very important, far more important than how long one could stay.

After all, if they can achieve a sensory system that is indistinguishable from reality, then the virtual world will truly be equivalent to a parallel world. For example, your senses of hearing, smell, touch, and taste will be indistinguishable from the real world in the virtual world. Would that world be real enough?

After several hours, Xu Lin and his team had collected a considerable amount of data from their tests.

Even after leaving the virtual world, the students were still reluctant to leave. Just like children, especially the boys when they were young, they were experiencing video games for the first time. If there were no restrictions, they could play day and night.

The same applies to the virtual world.

Few can resist the allure of such novelty.

"Teacher, after the virtual world goes live, will we only be able to log in for a maximum of six hours a day?"

"Correct."

"why?"

One girl was very curious.

"We need to prevent addiction. Otherwise, if people log in day and night, not to mention whether their bodies can handle it, the real world will also be in chaos. We need to pay more attention to things in the real world."

"oh oh."

Everyone nodded, only partially understanding.

Xu Lin didn't mention the matter much.

In reality, once the virtual world goes live, people will only log in for a maximum of six hours a day, unless it's a weekend or a special holiday, in which case it will be extended to ten hours. Otherwise, if the login time is completely opened up, the world will be in chaos.

However, this issue cannot be explained in a few words. Instead, the harm of the virtual world can be simply understood as the opium of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, officials and nobles across the country were addicted to it, and ordinary people at the bottom of society were also addicted, causing chaos throughout the country.

The virtual world has this power; if it were fully opened up, many people would be so engrossed in it that they would forget to eat or drink.

Therefore, as the virtual world matures, there will be certain login time limits, which are the so-called anti-addiction systems.

After leaving the virtual world, Xu Lin didn't teach any other classes today. Instead, he had the students take the school bus back to school and start classes tomorrow.

The second day was full of classes: artificial intelligence in the morning and Chinese programming by Xu Lin, and math in the afternoon.

Xu Lin personally taught all three courses, and he also wrote the textbooks for them.

In fact, these three courses will be rolled out nationwide soon, but that's a story for another time.

Xu Lin's students are the most enviable.

First, the fact that Xu Lin would take his students to play in the virtual world has already spread throughout the university and then online. Many people are very envious, as Xu Lin's students are truly getting the first taste of success.

Secondly, Xu Lin's students have very few classes, only two days a week.

Oh, and there's another PE class two days later, but that's nothing compared to sitting in the classroom for a lesson.

As we all know, universities have academic requirements for students. Freshmen and sophomores are usually fully booked with a variety of required and elective courses. In some majors, even juniors are still fully booked.

It was incredibly agonizing.

But Xu Lin's students are so lucky; they only have three courses.

What's even better in terms of academics is that Xu Lin's class gets special treatment. In other majors, you have to complete all sorts of miscellaneous credits over four years of university, otherwise you won't get your degree or graduation certificate.

However, Xu Lin has even eliminated the credit requirements.

God knows how much preferential treatment the government gave Xu Lin.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.

Then, before we knew it, another month or so had passed.

November arrived in the blink of an eye.

For the past month or so, Xu Lin has spent his time in the lab leading a team to research the virtual world, occasionally visiting the company, and the rest of his time with the women around him.

Rong Xiyan and Yu Xinyan are both busy with their studies; they are both seniors in college.

Moreover, it's November now, and unlike Yu Xinyan who can take the postgraduate recommendation route, Rong Xiyan has to take the exam on her own. Next month, Rong Xiyan will have her preliminary exam.

Therefore, Rong Xiyan has been very busy lately. When she's not in class, she spends her time in the library, where the learning atmosphere is better.

Ning Yuhan is in her third month of graduate school and things are going well.

In May, with Xu Lin's help, Xia Xiyao started her own business and opened a company. With Xu Lin's support, the business is doing very well.

In addition, she bought a Panamera car, which she drives to school. Since she also started a company, her classmates and dance club members are all very envious when they hear that she has started a company and now drives a luxury car.

Xia Xiyao herself had quite a few ideas. She asked Xu Lin if she could find girls from her school to form a dance troupe, or even form her own girl group to train in the future. Xu Lin agreed with her idea, but told her not to rush, because the company's size wasn't large enough yet, and it would take at least another year to develop.

Shang Wanjun has begun her third year of doctoral studies.

The main task in the third year of doctoral studies is to write a dissertation.

This year, students will face unprecedented pressure. After studying to this point, few of them are studying idly; they all hope to graduate with better jobs, better pay, and higher social status.

Doctoral dissertations are extremely difficult, and it's well known that the rate of baldness among doctoral students is very high. If you can't meet the graduation requirements, you'll have to extend your studies. If you still can't finish after extending your studies, then you're doomed, and several years of your time will have been wasted.

But Shang Wanjun is different; her life remains orderly.

Xu Lin asked her if she was under a lot of pressure with her thesis, and she just said it was alright.

Shang Wanjun's classmates all envied her.

Because of Shang Wanjun's achievements, she is now the highest-paid female writer in China, without exception.

She is currently the most famous female writer in China.

In particular, her works have spread to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, so she has become famous in East and Southeast Asia, and her sales in these two regions are also very good.

It's unclear whether this will spread to Europe and America, but in any case, she has become very famous. In the world of East Asians, some people now know about a very beautiful Chinese female writer, Shang Wanjun.

Whether she can graduate with a doctorate or not is not a big problem for her.

After all, in terms of aggression, pursuing a doctorate is nothing more than seeking fame and fortune; very few people do it for academic pursuits or for their dreams.

So, how can one not envy Shang Wanjun's current achievements?

On November 8th and 9th, Xu Lin stayed at Shang Wanjun's house.

On the 10th, Xu Lin was about to leave.

"I'll be spending time with my wife and kids for a while now. Feel free to message me if you need anything, or call me if it's urgent."

Xu Lin gave Shang Wanjun some instructions.

When are you going to give birth?

"My due date is approaching, it should be in the next few days, I know it's inevitable."

"Send me some photos when the baby is born, so I can see how cute it is," Shang Wanjun said with a smile.

"Ok."

Xu Lin kissed the other person on the forehead, then said goodbye and left.

In the afternoon, Xu Lin drove the two women to the hospital.

Because I'm due to give birth in the next few days, I decided to stay at the hospital.

Moreover, this is the best private hospital in Jiangdu, and the accommodations are excellent.

Xu Lin knew that childbirth was not an easy thing. If he stayed at home and his water broke suddenly, he couldn't give birth on the spot. He would have to be taken to the hospital, and he would have to endure the pain.

Furthermore, it's twins, which means she'll have to give birth twice.

Moreover, they were all first-time mothers, meaning they had never given birth before, commonly known as first-time mothers.

If you are in a hospital, medical staff will be there to meet you immediately.

Xu Lin will also be staying at the hospital for the next few days.

Recently, Pei Danqing and Chi Linyue have both been quite nervous, just to different degrees. For example, they would ask their mothers and Xu Lin's mother-in-law if childbirth is painful and if there would be any unexpected situations, such as difficult labor.

In short, they were all quite nervous and inevitably felt a sense of fear. Xu Lin and his two mothers-in-law repeatedly reassured them and told them to relax.

"Walk slowly and watch your step."

Xu Lin carefully supported the two women with both hands. Chi Linyue and Pei Danqing were both heavily pregnant. After all, they were twins, so their bellies were bigger than those of women carrying singletons.

"Xu Lin, if you're busy, you don't need to come with us. We'll let you know when it's time to give birth."

Pei Danqing said, "It won't interfere with your work."

Chi Linyue also asked, "Have you been busy lately?"

"You all know I have flexible working hours. I'll spend these few days with you. Work is not as important as family."

"Xu Lin, have you told your mother?" Chi Linyue asked.

"I'll talk to her about it then, it'll be in the next few days."

Xu Lin was a little overwhelmed; he had to be honest in advance.

But it's also understandable, because both Pei Danqing's and Chi Linyue's families are quite powerful, so it wouldn't make sense for the mother-in-law not to show up at this time.
