Luo Nan was a bit flustered. Could he exit right now and go back to rummage through the data of the virtual brain system to cram?
Clearly, he could not.
After the test questions were presented, a countdown began on the Manage Cockpit interface. Luo Nan was barely able to convert the basic time units of the Mysterious Civilization after doing a few simulations. From the pulsating rhythm of the scale, he could tell that he only had around seventy minutes of time.
Luo Nan still remembered that the consequences of failing the offline test was that he would not be able to proceed with a second confirmation for a certain period of time. Luo Nan could only make blind guesses when it came to the measurement of a longer span of time.
Months? Years? Or even longer?
The more it was like this, the more he couldn't help but consider the most difficult aspects.
Because of this, Luo Nan was exceptionally unable to accept the result of failure.
Since he couldn't accept it and he couldn't change it, there was no point in lamenting and regretting.
Luo Nan's ability to translate the secret text was basically like this. It was impossible to improve greatly in a short amount of time. Luo Nan could only do his utmost to decipher the information from the data and the images.
The data was fine. Even if it was static and unable to reflect the changes in battle, Luo Nan would gain something from reading it a few more times. He would have more ideas. However, the analysis of the battle images was far too unreliable.
Luo Nan's military knowledge was lacking. The only things he had were the basic knowledge he learned from Crag Burst. Moreover, this level of battle had long since surpassed the scope of Earth's military concepts.
Luo Nan strove to look at the soldiers hidden within the various bunkers, facilities, and mobile vehicles of the base. They had humanoid appearances that Luo Nan naturally felt familiar with. Most of them wore extremely high-end exoskeleton armor. They were a bit similar to Deep Blue Walkers. Each and every one of them moved quickly, controlled stably, and were well-trained.
However, a considerable portion of their actions did not rely on the weapons in their hands to carry out direct attacks. Often, there would be some sudden, unforeseen attacks and defensive attacks that would erupt within and outside the base. They would appear above and below ground in various areas. At first glance, they didn't seem to conform to the laws of physics, but their destructive power was astonishingly great.
This made Luo Nan think of the Deep Blue Walkers' formatting domain. He thought of the Blood-Intent Ring fortress that he had built with his own hands. He also thought of the Soul Order's so-called Sanctuary ….
That's right. There was bound to be a clash and a gamble on the mental plane in this battle.
If Luo Nan were to extrapolate from the current development direction of the Earth, then there would certainly be one or more collectivized, systemized, and solidified configurations on the mental plane that Luo Nan was unable to perceive.
Of course, this was just a guess.
No matter how powerful Luo Nan's soul strength was, no matter how high his mental senses were, it was hard for him to create something from nothing. He could probe the existence of the sea of consciousness and even the polar domain of the abyss region from a simulated scene.
He could only flip through the information.
Now, not only did he have to look through the blueprints of buildings and wards, he also had to find blueprints of the soldiers' mental solidification …
Unfortunately, there is none.
It was still the same problem. The person who came up with the question would not consider things that had already become common knowledge. For an army that had already been established, its solidified configuration should have long since become common knowledge. There was no need to reflect it.
However, this was already the only entry point that Luo Nan could exert his strength.
Otherwise, what else could he do?
The so-called Fantasy Breed vassal army that blotted out the sky and covered the earth outside of the base. These monsters hid their attacks on the invisible mental plane. There were truly no connections to follow. They became a natural moat that Luo Nan simply could not cross.
Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Luo Nan bit his lips as he flipped through all the information he could understand. He did enormous and despairing calculations.
Algorithms had never been Luo Nan's forte. When Luo Nan was forced to this step, it meant that he was truly at his wit's end.
"Dogshit! It's all dogshit!"
Luo Nan took nearly an hour to produce the embryonic form of two plans. However, they were pieced together results that made him feel nauseous.
They were filled with untrustworthy conjectures and fantasies. He didn't even need to submit them. He just needed to do some mental calculations against the battle scenes to prove that they were all trash that could only be of help. He needed to throw them all into the trash bin.
Information. Real-time information and information ….
I don't want anything else. I just want this.
Luo Nan's taut strings of reason buzzed and trembled. He tried to find a thread of order that could resonate within the half-hidden sea of information.
This was also a conflict between order and chaos. What Luo Nan was doing right now was a vast and exquisite balance that was presented by Absolute Hell and Solar Chakram of the Abyss World. It was simply the distance between one end of the universe and the other.
Wait a minute. Why did he suddenly think of that side?
Luo Nan was distracted. His train of thought deviated for no reason.
He was clearly struggling within the maelstrom of limited information and infinite chaos, but he inexplicably associated it with the Abyss World. He associated it with the Solar Chakram and Absolute Hell mutually conflicting and compromising structures.
And it was extraordinarily clear. It was as if it was right before his eyes.
Last time, he was in such a state. What followed next was a backlash plus heavy injuries!
Luo Nan shuddered. The disadvantages of the non-immersive environment were apparent. He popped out from his focused state and instinctively inspected the state of his body and soul.
His body was fine on the yacht.
The tree hole space was still stable at the forefront of his thoughts.
Then ….
The countdown of the Administrative Cockpit entered a warning orange-yellow zone at this moment. It reminded Luo Nan that the time for him to hand in his test paper was getting closer and closer.
Luo Nan gritted his teeth.
What was he thinking about? He wouldn't die anyway!
At worst, he would just make a trip to Claw Island and update himself.
And if he failed this test, he would be unable to increase his privileges. It would be difficult to obtain the encrypted information of the external neuron. The impact was secondary. What was truly unacceptable was that he would miss the window to approach the truth. He would have to start another round of unpredictable waiting.
He had to choose the lesser of two evils.
If the special image of the Abyss World could stir the current deadlock, then there was nothing bad about it.
Well, it was impossible for Luo Nan to pin his hopes on another unpredictable factor. He needed to maintain his focus first.
Luo Nan slapped his cheeks heavily with both hands and forced himself to dispel all distracting thoughts. He placed his attention back on the virtual war.
The information was still as chaotic as before. His agitation and anxiety were still there. But before he knew it, the 'heat' in his emotions and the 'coldness' in his will gradually formed a subtle state of conflict and compromise, just like the conflict between 'sunwheel' and 'hell', and the conflict between the images of high temperature and chains.
Between rules and chaos, between reason and emotion, a noose of chains was erected. It endlessly churned and cleansed, maintaining a dangerous yet marvelous dynamic balance.
His mind moved and didn't move. It was sharp and clear.
The information moved and didn't move. There was order in the chaos.
The most important thing was that Luo Nan suddenly discovered a marvelous phenomenon of mapping from the non-immersive test scene.
What he saw in his eyes was still the half-cut information that made him restless. There was no sign of things turning for the better even now. It was impossible for the offline test system to provide deeper information.
But there was an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
There were some impressions buried deep within his memories that were stimulated by this chaotic information, slowly emerging.
Of course, this was an illusion. The true reason was that there was an even deeper and grander system right next to him in a position that was infinitely close. It was in a completely different state from its previous unfathomable and uncontrollable state. It established a connection with the offline test system and began the orderly output of information and data.
The Abyss World.
To be more precise, it was the sediment that Luo Nan was unable to absorb and digest when he suffered the backlash of the Abyss World. It accumulated within the altar's spiderweb.
In a certain sense, this sediment was equivalent to Luo Nan's own memories. It was just that it was hidden deep within an external storage system that was more complex than the brain. It was simply impossible to dig it out in the past.
But now, it was activated.
The Management Cockpit continued to pop out analytic graphics without end. Luo Nan continued to not understand the characters he should not understand. But Luo Nan was no longer looking at these scribbles. His gaze fell directly on the panoramic battlefield. It fell on the buildings, the soldiers, and the vassal groups or individuals of the Fantasy Breed.
An even more intense feeling of familiarity burst forth.
"The old-style defensive array … … What was it called? I don't remember, but as a solidified configuration, it should look like this.
"Magnetite Mica. This sort of thing is a large-scale soul magnetization storm of soldiers. Pure defense is definitely not enough. I have to take the initiative to interfere!
"The design of the enchantment … … Crap! I don't have enough time!"
The timer on the Management Cockpit entered the red zone. Luo Nan no longer had the chance to carefully comb through it. However, the "experience" he obtained from the entire battlefield told him that there was no need to worry.
This so-called test was nothing more than a seamless connection between many different types of space-time structures, seeking a stable and optimal solution.
Of course Luo Nan knew this!
During his battle with Gong Qi a few days ago, especially in the cavern of the Blood God Ants, the Mist Labyrinth, the Bloodsoul Temple, and other domain structures interweaved and mixed together to firmly seal Gong Qi within. This was something that had been tested in practice.
The structure of the Relay Station in the topic was a defensive facility. The tightness of the structure was indeed much higher than that of the structures mentioned above. But it was precisely because of its tightness and regularity that the difficulty of Luo Nan's test was actually a bit lower...
"Beep. Test time is up!"
The scene before Luo Nan's eyes suddenly turned dark. The scribbles on the Management Cockpit were cleared out. His last impression of the battlefield stopped at the outer perimeter of the Relay Station. It was the instant the firestorm exploded.
The living planets and the mottle-like stars all disappeared into the distance.
Luo Nan's thoughts returned to the virtual brain interface.
A notification pop-up window appeared once more, announcing the test results. This kind of information was quite easy to understand:
"XX Simulation Combat Test Completed.
"System Evaluation: A competent professional. The military's attitude toward you is quite conservative. But blood and fire will help you grow rapidly or die quickly."
Uh, what kind of score was this?
Luckily, the true test results came out:
"Additional questions offline test result: Pass.
