Chapter 19: Dream Connections and Rating Systems
"Damn, it's good that my name wasn't mentioned, and I don't know what Monica would think if she knew about it." Ye Yuxuan sighed.
Su Mu: "Monica? Don't worry, she's relieved. ”
Ye Yuxuan: "....."
"Looks like I'm going to have to train with you in the future." Su Mu picked up a piece of sliced mutton, put it in his mouth and chewed it, while continuing to communicate with Ye Yuxuan with a neural network: "Actually, I have only been in the academy for about a week, and this year's enrollment has actually just begun. ”
"Then you should know how classes are held in the academy, and the schedule is tight?" This is the question that Ye Yuxuan wants to know the most.
"Well, the schedule of the academy is actually not too tight, and it can even be said that there is a lot of free time." Su Mu opened another bottle of beer and poured Ye Yuxuan a glass as well. "But that doesn't mean easy."
"As far as the cadets of our combat department are concerned, they must be on duty from Monday to Friday, and the remaining two days are equivalent to holidays. The first four days of each week are full day attendance, and Friday is only half a day. From 9 a.m. to 12 a.m., you must rush to the potential area for physical potential development training. ”
"Usually there are all kinds of crazy subjects such as weight running, obstacle races, trap rooms, martial arts, etc. The rules are the same, it's very simple, just practice until you get down. Only in this way can we break through the limits and unleash our potential. ”
Ye Yuxuan's heart sank when he heard this, and it seemed that the future would not be as easy as he imagined.
Su Mu continued: "The first four days were spent in the skill zone from 1 to 3 pm. There are a large field and many simulators where you can actually reinforce and train the various skills you have learned. ”
"The two hours after 3:30 p.m. are club time, and since I don't know which club Dega has yet, Monica often uses these two hours to help me with extra tutoring.... We won't mention this. The college stipulates that new students must choose a club within two weeks, otherwise they will be randomly assigned. In fact, it's not been a few days. ”
At this time, most of the food on the table had already been eaten by them, so Ye Lan ordered a few more side dishes. Su Mu continued to gobble up and gush: "After that, it's all rest time, until nine o'clock in the evening, and all the students must go to bed on time according to the regulations. ”
"Isn't the break quite long? Anyway, why add a until? Why do you have to go to bed at nine o'clock?" Ye Yuxuan was puzzled.
"Yes, that's the point...."Su Mu's expression suddenly became even more Xianglin's sister-in-law than Xianglin's, "Originally, I was free to arrange my sleep time every night, as long as I could get up at eight o'clock the next morning, the old students of the previous session basically came over like this." ”
Su Mu paused, and then changed his words: "Until a few days ago, the dream connection system was officially launched. ”
"Dream Connection System?" Ye Yuxuan repeated this strange term, and even Ye Lan couldn't help but ask, "Can you still control your dreams?"
"That's pretty much it." Su Mu ate the last piece of mutton in one bite, and then lay on the back of the chair without any scruples: "Since then, all students have been required to fall asleep at nine o'clock, and there are also implantable crystal-assisted hypnosis for insomnia, and until ten o'clock, it belongs to the light sleep period, which also provides a buffer period for students who fail to fall asleep in time." ”
"And after ten o'clock, everybody starts dreaming, and they dream the same thing. The Dream Connection System connects all the students' minds to the same main server through a neural network, which coordinates to create a world called the Dream Capital. Here, dreams are no longer bizarre and illogical, but become incredibly real, making it an excellent training place. ”
"How can you do such a thing...."Ye Yuxuan was dumbfounded, remembering that the United States seemed to be trying to do something similar, by controlling the dream realm to create an excellent all-round soldier training simulator.
But this method of connecting everyone's dreams together to form another world is indeed unheard of by Ye Yuxuan.
Su Mu saw Ye Yuxuan's surprise and gave him some time to think, until Ye Yuxuan handed him a continuing look: "We all know that when people are dreaming, their brains work very fast, about ten times that of when you are awake, so the speed of time in dreams is one-tenth of that of the outside world. ”
"From 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., we're connected, and we feel like we've been in it for 10 hours. Thus, from then on, the training time at Longinus was no longer seven hours, but seventeen hours a day. Su Mu said.
Hearing this, the corners of Ye Yuxuan's mouth couldn't help twitching, this Nima is too dark, and the time has been more than doubled.
From 11 o'clock onwards, all the students will go offline again and fall into a deep sleep to ensure that they are energetic the next day. At the same time, the main server system will count the connection time of each student during this time to see if there are any absentees or lates, of course, there are penalties. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Su Mu got up and patted Ye Yuxuan's shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, don't be so depressed, these ten hours are not so boring, and they can even be very interesting." ”
Interesting? Isn't training all boring? Ye Yuxuan looked at Su Mu with half-believing eyes.
"You think, we've created a virtual world together, and this kind of training is definitely different from usual. In fact, our training here is infinitely close to actual combat. We'll fight against data-generated summons and complete virtual missions, just like real mercenaries. Su Mu said.
"Then, the system will also randomly set some emergency events, such as the invasion of the capital of dreams by wizards. To put it bluntly, it's like a VR game, and it's incredibly real, and the points earned in this 'game' will be the same as in real life, and the purchased items will be delivered to your room on time the next morning. To be honest, it's so addictive that it can even make it difficult to tell the difference between virtual and reality. ”
"Wouldn't it be for you to develop such a software?"
"Of course." Su Mu nodded, "The main purpose is for us to sharpen our combat experience here and familiarize ourselves with the operation of various weapons and equipment." You'll find the skill rating in your stat overview, which is what you'll really want to master in the skill area the next day. ”
Ye Yuxuan didn't say a word, and called up the form. It can be seen that the skills of the combat department cover the operation and use of various machinery, hand-to-hand combat, cold weapons, firearms, exoskeletons, and proficiency in command skills; In the engineering department, the main focus is on principles, theories, and practical operations.
Each skill is divided into a total of 18 ratings from C- to S+, and each evaluation level needs to pass the corresponding test in order to obtain qualification. The college will calculate the comprehensive rating of various skills to award the new person with a grant.
"So, are you ready?" Su Mu interrupted Ye Yuxuan's browsing, "No matter how much you see these things, it's better to experience them in person, I'll take you to try the water tonight!"
