[Master, here are my functions…]
Xiao Yi said and in an instant, a holographic panel appeared before Lin Feng.
[Master: Lin Feng]
[Knowledge: F]
[Civilization Level: 1]
[Simulation Points: 10,000]
[Purchased Simulation Attempts: Energy Shield Technology (Version 1), Celestia Exercise (Version 1)]
[Simulation: Master can enter a virtual world where master will study and perform experiments]
[Simulation Points: Can be earned through manufacturing technology (only once) and selling the tech products. Master can use these points to purchase technology simulations]
…
"So that's how it is," Lin Feng muttered with understanding.
[Master, I can also make plans and give suggestions.]
Xiao Yi added.
Hearing her, Lin Feng gave a nod and contemplated what to do next.
Certainly he needs to learn knowledge first; however, before that, he needs to decide which technology he should simulate. Only after that can he focus on required subjects.
Thinking of this, he looked at Energy Shield Technology, which relied heavily on electromagnetism.
He was a student of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) so it was not really a big problem to learn related knowledge.
However, this energy shield was his trump card against guns and assassins, so he won't make it public.
Which meant he needed another technology in the public eye.
There was no way to earn simulation points; he had to sell something.
"Xiao Yi, give me a suggestion," since he had a galactic AI, why should he think of himself?
[Understood, Master.]
Xiao Yi replied with a nod and calculated a few feasible plans.
[Master the Energy Shield Tech relies heavily on Electromagnetism, so it would be better if Master decides on a technology in a related field.]
[Currently all nations are researching EMP defense, so I suggest Adaptive Electromagnetic Dissipation Material (AEDM). It is lightweight and can even be used by civilians. By the criteria of Blue Star, it is also a super-high-grade military material capable of resisting hot and cold temperatures]
[The simulation for AEDM is only 8,000 simulation points and with the master's current knowledge, the failure rate is 80%.]
'So only one chance to simulate,' Lin Feng thought in his heart.
"Give me the subjects needed for it," he said.
[Understood master…]
Xiao Yi replied, making a list of knowledge.
Lin Feng didn't waste any time and made his way towards the library.
Although it was 6:30 PM, the library was open twenty-four seven, with many students going in and out.
The technology blockade from Eden had provoked everyone. No one wanted to stay under someone else's control so everyone was trying to learn and invent everything once again.
There were, of course, protests and so on but that was the problem the country should worry about, not him.
The library was lit up brightly while everyone was engrossed in reading and doing calculations.
Lin Feng searched for the books he wanted and after this, he casually found a place to read.
"Hmm, I really don't understand anything," he mumbled to himself as he flipped the pages.
Xiao Yi: …
[Master, please put some effort in.]
'Yes, yes, I know,' Lin Feng muttered in his heart and just as he was about to reread, he discovered he could recall everything.
Photographic memory?
He was stunned and started verifying.
It didn't take too long and he discovered he could really recall everything.
'Xiao Yi, did you give me photographic memory?' he asked.
Xiao Yi was a galactic AI so she could certainly pull off something like this. It's just he didn't know if it was temporary.
[Master I do not have authority to rewire and interfere with brain functions. All I could do was scan. Also from the data I received, I believe Master possesses pseudo-photographic memory and this ability could only be attributed to Master's special existence.]
Xiao Yi explained.
'So it's because of my transmigration,' Li Feng thought to himself while scoffing in his heart at how Xiao Yi said special existence rather than pointing out clearly.
However, he didn't care too much about this and shifted his attention towards the pseudo-photographic memory.
It was similar to photographic memory; he just needed to focus here to remember everything.
He wasn't disappointed because having a photographic memory or a pseudo one didn't make any difference.
The reason was the new nation Eden, whose rise was very suspicious. Many believed it was alien tech; some believed it must be Golden Finger and so on.
Because of this, even if he had a photographic memory, he couldn't just flip pages rapidly; if not, others would suspect something, especially if he suddenly invented new tech.
This world wasn't brainless so he had to act cautiously.
'Xiao Yi, there's a problem,' he spoke suddenly.
[Master Xiao Yi is here to help you.]
'Good! Now help me understand everything I memorized,' Lin Feng said shamelessly.
He could remember everything but it doesn't mean he understood how it really worked. It was like a child who has memorized the timetables but doesn't know the multiplications yet.
[Master Xiao Yi needs to sleep for a while.]
'Hey, hey, don't lie like this!' Lin Feng was speechless at this but he understood she wouldn't help him.
In the end, he could only continue to read.
"Umm, excuse me…"
It hadn't even been a minute when he heard a soft voice.
He looked up and saw a young woman calling someone. But there was no one else beside him.
Is she talking to a ghost or maybe she is a ghost?
Lin Feng thought before looking down and starting to read again.
Seeing him like this, Bai Xue froze.
What does it mean to look at me and not answer? Do you think I am a ghost?
She complained in her heart.
"Hello. Can I borrow that book for a minute?" she asked.
"You mean this one? Sure, it's not a problem," Lin Feng was stunned but directly handed the book he was reading.
Anyway, the book won't run or fly away. Furthermore, he was interested in what she needed this book for.
"Ah, thank you." Bai Xue was dazed at his swift reply; however, without wasting any time, she flipped the pages looking for a certain chapter.
However soon she frowned.
"This equation ignores temperature and defects… but real materials always have both. So how is this model even reliable?" she muttered with confusion.
When suddenly she felt Lin Feng looking at her or rather at the equation.
"Do you know this equation and how it works?" she inquired with hope.
Just now she had seen him reading the chapters of this book seriously, even further than this equation so she analyzed that he might know this.
But to her surprise, Lin Feng shook his head.
"I don't understand anything at all," he claimed without blushing.
Hearing him, Bai Xue's mouth twitched.
Why are you confident? Also if you don't want to tell me, just say so. Why make excuses?
She pouted in her heart and returned the book.
However, rather than leaving, she took a seat opposite him and started doing calculations.
Seeing her like this, Lin Feng sighed in his heart.
Looks like she doesn't understand this book either.
He thought with regret, as he wanted to ask for notes or maybe even ask her to explain everything.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Without wasting any time, he focused on memorizing again.
Seeing him reading the book seriously once again, Bai Xue gritted her teeth.
He understands everything; he definitely knows the answer I am looking for.
She thought with resentment, as the book he was reading wasn't even part of the course material. Only an idiot will waste their time reading seriously without any understanding.
If Lin Feng knew her thoughts, he would certainly say, "Wow, you guessed right. I am really an idiot."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
With the pseudo-photographic memory, it didn't take too much time to memorize the book.
However, Lin Feng discovered his head was aching faintly, especially if he forced himself to memorize.
'Xiao Yi, what's going on?' he asked.
[Master, it's 8 PM now and you haven't eaten dinner yet, leading to less energy supplied to the brain. I suggest the master eat a nutritious dinner and also start doing Celestial Exercise, which can help with brain activity.]
Xiao Yi replied.
Lin Feng felt she was right so he didn't waste any time and headed towards the cafeteria, grabbing a very nutritious diet.
[Master the vegetables… you also need them]
"What? Did you say something? Why can't I hear at all?"
Xiao Yi: It's the master who doesn't want to listen!
Ignoring the complaints of her, Lin Feng sat down at a random table.
"It's you!" Bai Xue, who also came to eat dinner, was stunned.
"Yeah, it's me. Don't worry; I am Buddhist so I don't eat girls," Lin Feng said righteously while taking a bite of chicken leg.
Y-you are here to bully me for my incompetence, right?!
Bai Xue thought in her heart with anger.
She didn't expect to meet a condescending senior like him.
Lin Feng, however, was busy with a nutritious meal so he didn't notice her expression at all.
'By the way, Xiao Yi, you are from an alien galaxy, right? Then does the exercise you provided work on me, a human?' he asked.
