Chapter 4, Passive Skills

Upon hearing this, Luan thought of the incidents that had occurred at school which had not been reported by society, and he gently nodded. At the same time, he sighed inwardly: "The identity of this body is truly strange. But what does it have to do with me?"

For instance, smashing the computer, jumping out of the window, touching the wires. All curious thoughts are born, and one imagines doing them in the next second. However, the reality of oneself must shatter these various impulses that arise after that second. If one cannot shatter them, then one must guide them

Luan arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, where a middle-aged bald man had been waiting. He glanced at his watch and then looked at Luan, gesturing with his eyes for Luan to come over. This unsmiling middle-aged man was the administrator of the orphanage. Eight years ago, this man, known as Nanxiao, had taken over the orphanage by unknown means. For Luan, this person was of little concern, as he had not submitted to authority for many years. Nanxiao rarely interfered with him.

However, Chen Fei, after conducting in-depth research and comparing a large amount of satellite and base station data, discovered that this error, which could only be detected using atomic clocks, originated from fluctuations in a certain area of the Earth. Chen Fei boldly speculated that this might be a new type of super being, unconsciously emitting its own abilities, which led to the disruption of atomic clocks and the theft of time from the matter in vast areas of space. (In fact, the effect is very weak. The cross-spatial light quantum spacetime error was only discovered later, and for the first few years, it was consistently overlooked, as the error was considered acceptable.)

In Luan's view, these conglomerates are merely shells. They have better alternatives, and naturally, they will abandon the New World. For the conglomerates, only countries with large-scale industrial production are the best destinations. The premise is that these industrial workers have not been indoctrinated with socialism; once they are indoctrinated with socialism, they become much harder to control. For instance, the war from the previous life. Such a war is impossible in this world.

However, despite performing so excellently, no one came to adopt me, and of course, there are reasons for this

Once all the lines are intertwined, they can clearly articulate the current situation of Luan, who is an unexpected presence. In this world, there is a hope for Luan to quietly remain in the present position. It is desired that no major news is stirred up, leading to explosive news being unearthed by certain forces.

These memories emotionally encompass beautiful recollections, which pertain to the formation of one's personality, while intellectually they include all memories from past lives, as well as academic subjects such as history books, classic literature appreciation, and the sciences of physics and mathematics. However, in recalling these useful memories, I increasingly realize that my previous studies were not thorough, prompting me to purchase a substantial number of books online in this world. This has significantly broadened my knowledge base. Yet again, in recalling these useful memories, I find that my earlier studies were lacking in depth, leading me to acquire even more books online, further expanding my knowledge.

What reason do we have to give up

In this life, Luan has performed exceptionally well. To be precise, he has surpassed the excellence expected at his age, and even more accurately, he is regarded as outstanding in the eyes of others. As for the specific circumstances, Luan is well aware of them himself. In the preceding decade of his life, Luan has been diligently working to recall the memories of his past life, repeatedly sifting through useful memories while discarding the useless ones.

Under the pitch-black night sky, the church-like orphanage stood solitary in the center of the residential buildings. Lu An finally arrived at a place to rest.

The young researcher beside him said: "Academician Chen, this project has been established for quite some time, and the objectives are difficult to identify. Are you really certain that this phenomenon is due to human factors?"

In a laboratory, a global projection slowly rotates in the hall. An elderly man gazes intently at the map, magnifying it. A young researcher beside him remarks, "The quantum rays from the Mars base indicate that the phenomenon of atomic clock stagnation has begun to stabilize"

Luan nodded and said, "Thank you, I will head back now"

Chen Fei opened the light screen in front of him, revealing a data curve chart displayed on the transparent screen. He stroked his beard and said, "I once thought this was a phenomenon collectively induced by a certain area's population, as the curve of the atomic clock's stagnation activity shows a fairly stable periodicity, consistent with human circadian rhythms. However, a month ago, this spectrum clearly underwent a special change. The same was observed last night. The only events that can alter the probability of people's circadian rhythms are holidays. Yet, during those times, there were no holidays. This suggests that this may be a phenomenon induced by either an individual or a very small group of people."

This is a very strange situation; the orphanage not only prevents others from adopting but also hinders the children from being sent out. According to the orphanage's practice, children who are not adopted by a certain age are sent to vocational schools to fend for themselves. However, I was not sent there either, and all my tuition fees have been paid by someone.

The history of this world changed one hundred years ago, as old Europe was severely weakened and lost its position as the center of the world due to the turmoil caused by Germany.

The office is very simple, yet very tidy. The desk is wiped spotless, and the newspapers in the cabinet are arranged as neatly as tofu. From this tidiness, Luan perceives a kind of military obsession. In the past, during the summer, Luan, who was from the Southern School, had calluses on his shoulders, which he believed were from the butt of a rifle.

Luan is unable to eliminate his associations, nor can he rid himself of these aspects of himself. The actions of these selves are reflected in his mind, making Luan feel extremely frantic and agitated. This is not a matter of clearing the mind and relaxing; it cannot be resolved simply by not thinking. Rather, it is a reverse flow, a reverse flow of thought, where he can effortlessly see himself making various bizarre choices in accordance with strange desires in the next second. The imagination of a carbon-based brain is highly energy-consuming and cannot achieve such clear associations.

Luan closed his eyes, striving to maintain his tranquility. Gradually, it seemed that all aspects of himself in the next second were becoming drowsy, entering a state of rest. The memories of the future ceased to be infused, and he began to rest.

Fifteen minutes later, in Lu An's own room, Lu An sat with his head in his hands. Looking one second into the future and ten seconds into the past is not an active skill, but a passive skill. This is a maddening skill

Luan visited the orphanage's adopters more than once and saw himself reflected in their expressions of intent, yet upon entering the director's office, he began to select others. All the while, Luan remained.

The South Campus said: "That's enough. By the way, don't wander outside at night anymore. The clever tricks are useful, but they are very dangerous"

The South Campus did not respond

Camera switches to Northwest Industrial City, Asia, where the world's largest hadron collider is located. All advanced laboratories in the world are here, among which one laboratory is particularly special. It covers a vast area. Surrounding the pristine hemispherical dome structure are giant steel rings, forming an armillary sphere that envelops this spherical building. Since the discovery of superpowers in the last century, this place has been in a constant state of activity.

A researcher dressed in special attire is moving around inside, their clothing resembling a form-fitting ceramic armor. Unlike bulky protective armor, it simply clings to the body

The South Campus stated: "A fixed quota of 10,000 each month. Please use it wisely"

Activating this skill has become almost instinctive, as one cannot completely eliminate their associations, much like one cannot prevent themselves from blinking when their eyes are open. When conversing with others, one inevitably finds themselves simulating numerous future scenarios.

In the 1960s, the United States disintegrated due to severe economic problems following World War II. On this new continent of America, one famous consortium after another collapsed. The original United States split into four parts, relying on the substantial export of agricultural products and oil as its main sources of national income

When Meng Wei was in Luan, he had this strange thought when encountering people: he tried hard to focus his attention on the conversation with the other person, leaving no time in his mind to think about those chaotic things. But now it is not possible

"I can only save myself." This is a phrase that Luan has repeatedly uttered over the years. Each time he sleeps, Luan feels like a person steering a small boat, rescuing himself from a sinking giant ship. From the very beginning, he wanted to remember everything, but later he discarded one useless thing after another. In the process of self-rescue, Luan utilized every second of his time. Both studying and exercising were done with utmost effort. In the process of self-rescue, Luan utilized every second of his time. Both studying and exercising were done with utmost effort

Three years ago, the Serpent Department conducted an experiment, ultimately covering it up with gas poisoning. All the test subjects suffered complete brain death. Now, they are stirring again.

Thus, it can be said that this country has a group of wealthy families. They are at the pinnacle of the social hierarchy, yet they maintain a very low profile. This situation is similar to that of early 21st century Japan and South Korea in the historical context of Lu'an's previous life.

Luan is now passively looking one second ahead, and it has been determined that there are ten to twenty versions of himself. During this one-second foresight, he has completed certain tasks following his peculiar thoughts. As long as he calculates the possibilities of certain matters and completes them according to the direction he has envisioned, he only needs to restrain his impulses in reality and do the right thing.

In these past few days, Lu An has returned to the void every time he closed his eyes, and the distance to the stars in the universe has become increasingly closer. When he speaks, he can hear the echo in just a few seconds. The space he has temporarily inhabited in the void is about to collapse. As he falls into eternal slumber in the void, his new life in this world is about to begin

One should speak kindly, yet I cannot help but suddenly resort to violence against those who speak kindly to me. It is an unreasonable act of aggression. For instance, just now with the bald man, as I looked ahead for three seconds, I found myself wanting to kick him countless times, to slap his face with my shoe.

What is the amount of money on the card? Lu An asked a trivial question

Briefly explain the reason for Chen Fei's excitement. Ten years ago, during the process of optical quantum communication between Earth and various planetary spacecraft, scientists discovered that there was an extremely small time error in optical quantum communication. This time error was so minuscule that initially many scientists believed it was due to solar activity or similar factors

Luan took the card and said, "Can I leave now?"

Chen Fei said: "Light, electricity, thermal energy, and the orderly arrangement of water molecules, the energy fission of nuclear elements, and the energy fusion of nuclear elements. They transform into neutrino waves that instantaneously shift and fluctuate in space. The dark matter environment of the Earth interferes with various phenomena in this physical world, affecting the existing superpowers of humanity.

In the puzzled gaze of Luan, Nanxiao said: "From today onwards, this will be your pocket money."

Now he has called himself to the office, which has left Luan quite puzzled

The elderly researcher nodded and said, "Continue the comparison; we have now roughly determined the range. It is right here." The old man circled an area in East Asia with a laser pointer.

Briefly describe the world as understood by Luan

During World War II, the Soviet Union experienced a restoration of the Tsarist regime, and after the death of the Empress of the double-headed eagle, her son, who had Chinese ancestry, ascended to the throne

Nan Xiao is not very talkative and seems to dislike speaking. Upon entering the office, he took a bank card from the drawer and handed it to Lu An

Luan said: "Is it another person who is unwilling to reveal their name?"

The children currently living here are all young. Any child who has shown exceptional performance here has been adopted before the age of 8, and Luan is an exception; he has never lacked awards from childhood to adulthood. His small room used to be adorned with many certificates, but as his memories have become more complete and his pride has been tempered, these certificates have all been put away.
