167 Old Antiques and New Entertainment
After the other apprentices around them were almost gone, Li Yu and Amaranda left. They walked out of the classroom together and then out of the teaching building. The two started chatting.
When talking about the speed of finishing the course, Li Yu couldn't help but ask: "More than 9,000 points in two years, you are quite fast."
Compared with the average level he saw on the forum, this girl's efficiency was indeed pretty good.
Amaranda smiled and said: "It's not bad. If the recent classes go well, I should graduate in two months. Recently, the armies in Central Asia, South Asia and South America are recruiting mages.
Maybe I can give it a try after I graduate."
Li Yu: "Field team or defense brigade?"
Amaranda: "You are talking about the army officially organized by the association. That kind of place is too strict and may not be suitable for me."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows: "There are also unofficial ones in the army?"
Amaranda smiled: "Of course, haven't you heard of mercenaries? The association allows individuals to create companies, including entrepreneurship in the military field."
Li Yu touched the tip of his nose: "Sorry, I haven't been in Mage City for a long time, so I really don't know much about this."
Amaranda frowned, her expression a little strange: "You are so powerful in combat and have such great connections, but you have just come to Mage City not long ago?"
Li Yu: "To be precise, I have only been in school for three or four months."
Amaranda: "I'm suddenly curious. Could you please tell me...how far you are from the 10,000-point standard?"
Li Yu hesitated for a moment, then answered honestly: "Less than three thousand points."
"Three thousand?" Amaranda's eyes widened, "You mean, you have already passed more than 7,000 points, and you still need less than 3,000 points?"
Li Yu nodded.
Amaranda lost her voice and said: "How is this possible! Your speed is even more exaggerated than the fastest record!"
The sound was a bit loud, causing several apprentices around to look this way.
Realizing her gaffe, Amaranda quickly lowered her voice, but her fluctuating tone undoubtedly revealed her uneasy state of mind: "The fastest record, I remember, will take nearly a year. You three or four
With 7,000 points in the month, isn’t it faster than the fastest record?
Big cut?"
Li Yu nodded: "Because I took a shortcut."
Amaranda: "Shortcut?!"
Li Yu smiled and said: "Don't use that expression. The shortcut I am talking about is not cheating or bribery. It is just to sign up for some courses that I am already familiar with, and apply for the exam directly after signing up. In this way, the course completion time can be greatly shortened.
Very efficient.”
Amaranda: "Then how do you know..."
Li Yu: "Because I am a survivor of the old era."
When he was hesitating just now, he had already figured out that since he didn't need to keep the secret of his identity, it would be just right to reveal it to the apprentice in front of him. On the battlefield in Mauritius Island, although they only traveled together for a while, Li Yu discovered
Amaranda's quality is already very good among apprentices, and she actively wants to join the army. Her job intention is to work in a private enterprise on the battlefield, which seems to be just right for her.
Of course, this means that he needs to set up a company. Considering the task that Ella gave him, he can just set up a private company on the battlefield of his own.
Amaranda stared at him blankly.
After saying "I am a survivor of the old era", Amaranda's eyes did not blink, and hung directly on his face, as if trying to find the slightest sign of joking.
However, Li Yu was quite calm and didn't seem to be joking at all.
Amaranda couldn't help but murmured: "The record holder who scored 10,000 points in one year seems to be a survivor of the old era, right?"
Li Yu: "Yes, Xia Feifei too."
Amaranda: "The founder of the academy system, I remember, must have been from the old era... and the founder of Neuromancer also hibernated from the old era!"
This time it was Li Yu's turn to be stunned: "Neuromancer?"
Amaranda: "Don't you even know about the entertainment company founded in the Mage City of Atlantis, which claims to be the entertainment home of the Mage Association?"
Li Yu scratched his forehead: "I'm really not sure. Maybe I'm busy studying and fighting. When I have nothing to relax, I just listen to music, and it's all post-rock without lyrics..."
Amaranda: "I understand, you are an old antique."
Li Yu couldn't help but be startled.
Amaranda covered her mouth and smiled: "
I'm kidding you. But it's just because you haven't tried Fantasy Entertainment for a few months since you came here, and you put all your energy into studying and fighting, that you can achieve such results, right?"
Li Yu also smiled: "Maybe."
Of course, he knows better than anyone else that the relationship between cause and effect is completely reversed.
The reason why he can achieve the current results, far exceeding the progress of other apprentices, is because of his knowledge level as a survivor of the old era, plus the top-notch chip that Ella gave him, and other help.
With these foundations, let him understand that as long as he works hard, he will definitely become stronger, so he can keep working hard like an addiction. Otherwise, if his future is slim despite his hard work, he will inevitably have to go to various entertainment projects to solve problems...
…
"By the way, I have never taken the initiative to understand what the dream you are talking about is?"
Amaranda: "Directly linked to the sensory nerves, allowing you to immerse yourself in pre-written stories, using AI as an actor, allowing customers to experience each story immersively."
Li Yu was shocked: "Is there such a developed brain-computer interface now?"
Amaranda: “Don’t get me wrong, it is not a brain-computer interface in the strict sense. It can only connect sensory nerves, such as retina and auditory nerve, to simulate nerve signals generated in the real environment. But in the process of enjoying the dream, you can actually change it at any time.
Everyone realizes that this is not the real world, because the sense of balance and body sensation cannot be so realistic. Moreover, your space for action in the fantasy dream is also very limited. In some relatively cheap stories, you cannot even control the protagonist, you can only fix it.
Feel it from a perspective..."
Sounds like an evolution to the ultimate VR game, or VR movie?
However, Li Yu was a little confused at this time: "I seem to have never heard of such an interesting entertainment method."
Amaranda smiled: "Of course, if you can get in touch with fantasy dreams at the apprenticeship stage, how many people can graduate within a few years? Even after graduation, you can't try fantasy dreams immediately. You can only get a lot of contribution points, and
Only contribution points obtained through hard means such as research and combat can be used to open the dream. Historically, the Mage Association has learned a lesson, and the dream once led to a fall."
Li Yu: "Fallen?"
