The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 650 483: Cyberspace, The Day of the Gamble

Three days later.

In the bedroom, Lin Guang, who had just finished showering, was wearing a white shirt and sitting in front of his desk, his eyes fixed on something.

He was on the Great Xia Research Forum.

But this time, Lin Guang was not using the usual computer connected to a physical screen; instead, he had a spiritual artifact resembling an information terminal on the desk, which he communicated with using spiritual power.

It was shaped like a dark gray ring, about the size of a soccer ball, and its surface was very smooth, occasionally flashing with blue light, exuding a minimalist tech vibe.

Its working principle actually didn't differ much from that of a regular computer.

The only special aspect is that it can directly connect with the user via Ether and spiritual power, making it easier to manipulate and read, while scanning the researcher's qualification certificate doesn't require extra peripheral connections.

From Lin Guang's perspective at the moment, numerous three-dimensional pages had been opened at once, densely occupying most of his view.

Texts and images as vast as the sea flashed across the screen.

Most were extremely complex theories and papers, textbooks, as well as various demonstrations and experimental reports.

This was the intellectual essence of the Great Xia academic community, the researchers, Spirit Beast Doctors, and masters.

Although Lin Guang is currently still an intermediate researcher, due to his high credit level, the discount on the permissions to view confidential technical papers and the discounts he could enjoy within the Coastal City were equivalent to those of senior researchers, or even better.

At this moment, he was immersed in these vast papers, absorbing knowledge to his heart's content.

Even with his viewing speed and comprehension speed, amidst what seemed like endless achievements and data, he felt somewhat inconsequential.

Great Xia's landmass is large, but the population is not considered many, even pitiably small, only about ten billion, occupying just a fraction of Blue Star's total population.

But Great Xia has an extremely high proportion of Spirit Masters, about more than 70%, the highest on Blue Star, while even in peak nations like Federation Country, the proportion of Spirit Masters is only 50%, and the European Federation and Sand Country are roughly only thirty percent.

But that's already very high; in many small countries, there might not even be one person out of ten who awakens.

Among many nations, Bharat's Spirit Masters are the most peculiar, with only one in twenty or thirty possessing the required talent intensity to awaken successfully, so despite having a population of over two hundred billion, second only to Blue Star, there are less than a billion Spirit Masters.

In such places, Spirit Masters are undoubtedly nobles and the ruling class, even those with white talent enjoy the treatment of local emperors and are considered above others.

In this light, Great Xia's Spirit Masters—especially those from families and sects—may not seem as fortunate.

But in reality, if you look at the research field, Great Xia's worldview, where everyone is an extraordinary being, combined with policies allowing civilians to access quality Spirit Master education and training opportunities, liberates everyone's computational power and thinking ability, allowing full investment into various domains...

The resulting effect, the annual number of new researchers, is incredibly frightening.

In fact, even an ordinary two-star Spirit Master, if well-trained, would have computational power and response speed in their specialized domain not inferior to a personal computer.

Theoretical advancements would feed back into productivity, and productivity would feed back into new Spirit Masters and researchers.

Great Xia can continuously stand at the pinnacle of Blue Star, despite the annual sacrifice of many Spirit Masters in wars, it remains strong, inseparable from this strategic relationship.

But this has created a problem.

There are too many researchers, knowledge, and theories in various fields are rapidly advancing, making it extremely difficult for ordinary researchers to keep up with the latest progress.

Therefore, in recent years, the frontier of research fields has shown an infinite trend of specialization — Hu Tuzhi specializes in cultivating White Phoenix Parrots and can become an intermediate researcher for similar reasons.

Well-developed specialized fields naturally would have academic leaders summarizing them.

And for one to switch fields or become a major figure controlling the big picture, either one's realm is high enough with their mind physically spinning a thousand times faster than others, creating miracles directly with great force, or their thinking mode is particularly suitable for research, having endless inspiration, good luck, and the talent and contracted Spirit Beast particularly fit for research.

In this regard, Lin Guang indeed has the talent and capability.

But even for him, with immense information at hand, catching up to the frontier of the field and completing coursework in a short time is very challenging.

After all, he's not a full-time researcher, has too much to do, and can't allocate much time for this, so he can only try his best within a limited time.

But for Lin Guang's grand plan, this effort is definitely necessary and he has long been accustomed to this lifestyle.

You could say, as the Master of Origin Stone, if Lin Guang lacks a bit of information bombardment to fill himself every day, it would be like having an unbalanced nutrient intake, making him uncomfortable...

After three whole hours, today's recharge project slowly came to an end—despite this, Lin Guang felt somewhat dizzy.

After all, it wasn't rote memorization or swallowing whole, but understanding as he went.

He subconsciously clicked on a few webpages, checked today's news, ready to relax a bit.
