At this moment, the expressions on their faces all instantly soured, as Finn Lewis’s speed in answering the questions suggested unquestionable certainty. One must understand that the current exam was not like the ones on Earth, where all the answers could be immediately seen on the outside.
As soon as Finn Lewis submitted his answers, whether they were correct would be known to the observers outside immediately. And the entire first literary exam consisted of a full 1,000 questions, covering various topics. Many test-takers in the past would need at least an hour for this section.
But now, Finn Lewis’s pace was astonishingly fast; could it even be a second per question? It seemed even faster than that. Many people outside hadn’t even fully grasped the questions when Finn Lewis had already finished answering and submitted them. Although his speed could be attributed to the difference in time experienced in virtual space compared to reality, it was still incredibly rapid.
At first, there were all sorts of discussions, but as time passed, the crowd’s mouths hung open in disbelief, unsure of what to say. Are we to believe that with wealth, one’s abilities grow by leaps and bounds? Then explain to me how such a dramatic change is possible—damn it! Despite our years of study, although not always dedicatedly, the time accrued is not negligible, yet they definitely cannot achieve this.
How long has Finn Lewis been at it? Many people even thought he must have begun studying before he arrived, but even if that were the case, wasn’t his performance incredibly impressive for such a brief period? Bear in mind that it hasn’t been long since Finn Lewis inherited the entire Lewis Family or since he became a royal member of the Galactic Federation.
...
At this moment, the scene before Finn Lewis had completely changed. Witnessing the scenario before him, he suddenly felt like he was back in his childhood, playing arcade games. Damn, this dilapidated street, along with the only path available, was surely reminiscent of side-scrolling beat ’em up games from his youth.
Except, now he was the protagonist of such a game. Meanwhile, people on the outside perked up, focusing their attention. Cultural knowledge might be surmountable with diligent study, but what followed was not going to be so simple.
Right now, the scenario in front of Finn Lewis hadn’t even started. Instead, there was an introduction explaining the scene. This setting was akin to a virtual simulation directly mapped onto one’s psyche, and Finn Lewis’s task was to beat the bad guys, save the princess—cough, cough, well, the outcome was similar.
However, after viewing the introduction to the simulation, Finn Lewis felt somewhat perplexed because the setup reminded him of a movie on Earth, the legendary “The Matrix.” The realism here had no less fidelity than the world depicted in “The Matrix.”
And this was exactly the case. Finn Lewis’s thoughts turned to the protagonist of “The Matrix.” To put it plainly, he recalled that in “The Matrix,” what one could accomplish didn’t depend on one’s physical body but on one’s mind.
Because none of those things actually exist; once you believe you can do something, you certainly can. However, if you limit yourself within a certain range, you will find that you’re no different from a normal person.
With that in mind, Finn Lewis turned off the mission prompts for the map, and instead, he looked up at the towering buildings on either side. There were skyscrapers at least a few hundred meters tall—looking as if they were vast walls encircling him.
