Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan heard the prompt and directly refused, "No need."

The voice then disappeared.

He first washed his face, then began to organize his belongings.

About fifteen minutes later, a voice from the Realm Interface notified him that the delivery person would arrive downstairs in ten minutes, asking if he needed the school security to deliver it to his dormitory door, but a certain fee would be deducted.

He didn't save the money and said he needed it.

A little over fifteen minutes later, a prompt appeared, he went to open the door, took a box from the security guard, thanked him, closed the door, and returned to his room.

He placed the box on the table and opened it. Inside, there were no ice packs like in Lao Qi's box, only a sealed bag buried deep in the thick cushioning.

He took out the item, removed the packaging, and found it was a nearly transparent eye mask. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to have tiny tubular veins inside. Behind it were slender bone tubes extending backward, capable of wrapping around the head and face, forming a bone clasp at the back of the neck.

Without careful inspection, one would hardly notice its existence when worn, mistaking it for a mere ornament. Despite its delicate appearance, it was extremely strong, and because it was made of biological material, it could self-repair when damaged by soaking it in a suitable nutrient solution.

This item cost 3,520 Jianyuan coins, but some cost tens of thousands or even more. The best were custom-made. This price range was considered relatively cheap and practical for a general-purpose model, but it required paying some extra delivery fees.

He took the bone mask and put it on. He felt the fibrous bone tubes stretch out on their own, reaching around his ears and closing at his neck.

The moment he tapped it lightly, he realized it was indeed different. The flickering lights and shadows outside the building became clearer and more vivid. Functionally, he no longer needed the Realm Point to contact and add people, and he could also query various interfaces and services.

The biggest difference from the bone mask was the ability to receive images. It formed a light screen half a foot to a foot in front of him, which he could use his fingers and voice to browse and communicate with, and he could also remove unwanted light and shadow pollution.

Chen Chuan directly clicked on the 'Good' column, then swiped the interface away and began to search for other things, first reading up on things that all students at the academy needed to know. Then, after thinking for a moment, he began to search for "Biological Field Interaction Linking Technology."

This time, he quickly got results.

Biological field technology had emerged as early as seventy years ago, based on super-large, mimetic biological groups. Through transfer nodes and biological contact points, the individual biological fields within were merged and integrated into the field link it contained.

It was a vast collection of biological groups spanning the central city. Each Realm Point was its neuronal tentacle. Individuals could strengthen their connection with it through this, while the Realm Interface was the port that directly interacted with the human body. It allowed the field to recognize and confirm each individual, thereby expressing and exchanging information with the field.

The consciousness body was the hub responsible for processing vast amounts of information, divided into active and inactive consciousness bodies. Inactive consciousness bodies were spread throughout the city, helping and processing countless streams of information daily, but were relatively rigid and inflexible, and would not make any reactions beyond what they were authorized to do.

The central city's consciousness body, 'Poshuo,' was an active consciousness body. It was directly responsible for government and public departments, and would autonomously make optimal judgments based on different external situations. It had a vast body between plant and animal and was under the heavy protection of government security departments.

Various companies in the central city all had independent active biological consciousness bodies serving them, and each had taken a code name. For example, Wuyi's 'Hongfu' was one of them.

Her body was buried deep in the 'Yan Zhou' located at the bottom of the Xuangong, but her tentacles spread to every corner of Wuyi. She could guard against the intrusion of other biological consciousnesses and could also launch active attacks when needed.

She could disconnect from Fumu at any time, forming an independent biological field individual, to maintain the use of Wuyi internal personnel. In fact, Wuyi internal daily use does not go through Fumu.

The interface contained roughly this much introduction, which was for the public. However, it did not specifically describe how these things and technologies developed and the detailed process.

To query further, it was necessary to increase permissions.

However, ordinary people probably wouldn't be interested in knowing, because it was too far removed from them. Most people just wanted to enjoy the convenience these things brought, and didn't want to know where they came from.

Interestingly, even under such technological conditions, the upper echelons still attached great importance to combatants. Wuyi Academy was located in the second largest district of the central city, occupying a separate area, surrounded by state-owned enterprises and enterprises with good cooperative relationships.

After Chen Chuan failed to find more information, he swiped away an intrusive advertisement and began to browse the news of Central City. Most of the articles were about the violent incidents in the Lower District.

The Lower District was just a general term, not a single area. Most of its residents were those without formal or only with temporary identities, and they accounted for the vast majority of Central City's population. The real "Lower District" was the vast slum located beneath Central City.

At this moment, he noticed a news item: around 4:00 PM today, the algae oil power plant in the northern industrial district was bombed, causing a large area to lose power. The city's public security forces sealed off several main streets and city entrances and exits, and the blockade was still ongoing.

This might be the reason he encountered patrol cars on the road today.

However, seeing many company security forces in the news and displayed scenes, things were probably not that simple.

After some searching, he saw that it was already 9:30 PM. He took off his Realm Permit, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went to bed, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning at 5:00 AM, he woke up on time. He first opened the curtains, washed up in the bathroom, and took out a few nutrient bars from the refrigerator to eat.

After coming out, he walked to the window. From his current position, he estimated the height to be about 300 meters. From here, he could almost overlook most of the city.

At this time, the sky was not completely bright. The lingering sea fog floated around the sides of some tall buildings, making them appear and disappear. Gray-blue broken clouds were scattered in the sky, and golden-red halos pressed on one end of the horizon.

The sun was about to rise.

This was a world completely without Realm Permits. In Old Qi's words, it was a false Central City, not its true face.

Chen Chuan remembered that when Jing Lin met with him, he kept talking about the real world. The underlying meaning should refer to everything behind the Realm Permit. Immersed in this biological field and enjoying the convenience that was difficult to enjoy outside, it would indeed produce a psychological sense of superiority and condescension towards people from the outside world.

But this situation was actually very abnormal.

Cheng Zitong had told him that the world was divided into circles, which was both a practical situation and a factor of artificial division.

He could feel that behind this so-called real world, there were actually deeper, unknown things hidden.

The newest and most complete novels are first published on 69shu.com!

However, he had a premonition that as his own strength increased, even if he didn't actively reach out, these things would eventually slowly reveal themselves in front of him.

After watching for a while, he began to do the most important thing after enrollment.

He took the Realm Permit from the table, walked into the 400-square-meter private training room, connected to the biological consciousness of the Wuyi Academy, and began to inquire about the course categories he needed to study after enrollment.

After entering the interface of Wuyi Academy, a voice rang in his ears:

"It has been detected that the student Chen Chuan is in the freshman enrollment period. The academy needs to conduct a basic test and potential assessment on the student to confirm whether the student has reached the learning standards and whether he has the ability to complete his studies during his time at the school. Do you want to take the test now? If needed, please call 'Hong Fu'."

After hearing this, Chen Chuan said, "Hong Fu, I need to take an entrance test now."

And at the moment he made the application, he saw the red-clothed woman who stood on the eaves last night appear in the training room. In close contact, the look in her eyes above the veil was even more agile. Unlike last night, she also had a wild goose feather saber hanging on her waist, with a red tassel tied to the end of the handle.

"I saw you use a saber, and I thought you might like it, so I brought one too."

Although the main body was one, her voice was completely different from what he heard on the interactive Realm Permit. It was heroic, very pleasant, lively, and emotional.

She seemed to be a more independent individual, more like a living person.

Chen Chuan said politely, "Thank you."

Hong Fu's eyes focused on him for a moment. She waved her hand gently, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed. The surrounding clouds rolled, countless peaks rose and fell, and ten thousand feet of golden light shot from the side.

Chen Chuan found himself standing on one of the peaks, and Hong Fu was not far away on the opposite side, the two facing each other in the air.

Hong Fu said, "Draw your saber."

Chen Chuan was a little surprised. The scenes in front of him were all illusory. Could this kind of test detect his true level? However, since the other party chose this way, there should be a reason.

He nodded, held the Snow Monarch Saber horizontally in front of him, held the scabbard, and gently pushed it to the side. The entire scabbard flew out, revealing the cold and clear blade.

After Hong Fu saw him draw his saber, her slender white fingers grabbed the handle of the wild goose feather saber. With a clang, she drew it out. A red shadow flashed, her dress fluttered, and she instantly came in front of Chen Chuan, slashing down at him with a saber.

This time, Chen Chuan didn't overlap with his Second Self, but he could still clearly see her movements. He raised his saber to block, making a sound of metal clashing, and a strong force immediately came from above, causing his feet to sink slightly.

His eyes narrowed slightly. This feeling was definitely not simulated. Was he facing a real person at this moment?
