Chapter 3, Five "Elites"

There is a code.

Li Han smiled and shook his head: "Please forgive my directness; they, like you, have the lowest comprehensive scores in big data."

The Eternal Life World employs brain-computer interface technology that allows for the "interaction" of electrical currents, computers, and brain cells. To fully and authentically enter the virtual world, it is necessary to implant tiny electrode chips in the human brain, which are used for resonating electrical currents, enabling the transmission of human thoughts to the computer host, as well as downloading memories, among other functions

Zhang Yunxi immediately asked with a smile: "Are they all elites?"

Zhang Yunxi rolled her eyes, reached out to press the private chat button on the table, instantly blocking out the noisy sounds from outside, while also ensuring that her conversation with Li Han would not be heard outside: "Let's get started."

Zhang Yunxi said somewhat unconvinced: "I have been swimming in the ocean of knowledge for so many years, and this is the first time someone has called me a poor student"

First floor lobby

After considering these two questions, Zhang Yunxi replied without hesitation: "Alright, I will sign."

I glanced at your work materials; you mainly provide health care technology in that area, don't you? Li Han asked curiously

Five minutes later, Zhang Yunxi finished signing all the onerous terms for enrollment. Li Han stood up and said, "Congratulations, you have joined Qingshan Divine Academy! Let's return to reality; I will take you to meet your mentor, and he also knows your father."

Yes, your performance in biological genetics is relatively good, so... your overall score is lower. Li Han comforted, saying: "But it doesn't matter, now that you are here, everyone starts from the same point, and every year, our weakest students are assigned to the best mentors"

In the hall of the new student reception area, Zhang Yunxi met four fellow students who had just enrolled, and they would also become his senior brothers in the future

I can't believe it, Li Han really didn't deceive him. This greasy man has extremely poor quality; just a glance reveals he is a low achiever

This service has sparked widespread discussion in human society since its launch. Some believe that humans should adhere to the laws of nature and accept death; others feel that if their physical bodies are gone and only a string of data survives in the virtual world, what human resources have been wasted? Why should we struggle against life?

Certainly, this service of "immortality" comes at a steep price. You need to have sufficient bandwidth to pay the "community management fee." You can store bandwidth yourself before nearing death, or it can be stored by family members in real life. However, if the fee is not renewed in a timely manner within a certain period, the consciousness will be sealed. After some time, if there is still no bandwidth to activate it, it will be permanently erased.

Is there any inherent connection to my enrollment at the school?" Zhang Yunxi asked, her expression one of astonishment, feeling somewhat resistant internally. "I am just here to attend school, not for any job interview!"

"That's right," Li Han nodded and said, "Let's disconnect."

The real world

"Let’s go, five classmates, let’s go meet Liang An, who has a doctor’s degree," Li Han invited.

The other three individuals also exhibited peculiar appearances: one was a stout man weighing over 200 pounds, another was a frail and somewhat sickly young man with a cold expression, and the last was a girl with a blue ponytail, dressed in a non-mainstream punk style. At first glance, she was somewhat difficult to look at.

"Teacher Li, you are asking so many detailed questions; are you looking to get treated?" Zhang Yunxi retorted cheekily.

... ... is. Zhang Yunxi awkwardly scratched his head

In the world of immortality, there exist three types of beings: intelligent AI NPCs, living individuals from the real world, and "memory beings" who have already passed away in the real world

"Ayu, could you please look at me? I have been waiting for you to enter the eternal world for a week now, and I've been drinking so much coffee that my heart is about to give out. Could you give me a loving glance?" shouted a man in his thirties with a hoarse voice.

Zhang Yunxi held back for a long time and thought to himself that his three fellow disciples and the *Tushu* senior brothers and sisters, just from their appearance, could indeed be considered outstanding among people.

So you are still teaching others

I... I'm fine, no need for medical attention, just asking casually. " Li Han continued to browse through the materials, and after a short while, he glanced sideways at Zhang Yunxi and asked, "Hey, do you have any video course materials on this topic?"

I understand your meaning now Zhang Yunxi has already thought of many things in her mind

... ...

In Dr. Liang An's office, he stored all the information of Zhang Yunxi and Zhang Yunzhao in his private email. However, feeling uneasy, he compressed the data into an encrypted file. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Terminal!"

Li Han coughed twice, paused slightly, and then could not help but ask: "I would like to ask, are you a virgin male?"

... ...

The two walked and chatted, quickly leaving the office area

Li Han, using the method of consciousness information interfacing, briefly browsed through Zhang Yunxi's personal profile and was immediately astonished as he asked: "... ... You are ... ... a private health care physician in the Eternal Life World?"

In the City of Freedom within the Eternal Virtual World, Li Han and Zhang Yunxi sat in a café at 68 Lingjing Avenue, staring in astonishment at dozens of people gathered on the second floor, chattering away as they questioned a female celebrity who had just recently "passed away".

Zhang Yunxi actually did not want to agree, as this involved his personal privacy. However, due to various doubts in his mind, he had to enter the school, so after a moment of hesitation, he still transmitted his information to the other party face to face

Zhang Yunxi paused for two seconds, asking herself two questions in her mind: 1. Should I continue to investigate my father's death and the doubts left by the Li Yun case? 2. If I were to leave, would Mingzhu University still want me?

Li Han removed the brain-machine connector and softly invited, "Let us go to Liang An's doctor's degree office, where you will also be joined by four new classmates."

Yes, Zhang Yunxi nodded candidly

After about ten minutes with the chart book, Li Han finally returned to his normal demeanor: "I have finished reading. Aside from your outstanding academic performance in biology, you hardly possess any other special talents, correct?"

"This value is very important; it is one of the criteria for assessing your eligibility for admission to the school." Li Han paused for a moment and replied, "If you agree, we can proceed to the next step."

Zhang Yunxi's expression was one of great surprise: "So that's how it is, everything makes sense now"

"Do you want to sign?" Li Han asked, "Or do you need more time to think?"

"Please accept my condolences," Li Han replied softly

"Send me a copy in a moment," Li Hanfei said quickly before continuing to review Zhang Yunxi's information

OK! Li Han slowly nodded and interjected, "Could you show me your overall statistics and information in the Eternal Life World?"

"Miss Ayou, what does it feel like after you die? Is there any difference between here and the real world?" a reporter asked, squeezing to the front of the crowd

At the same time

In fact, this concept and technology were proposed as early as 2016, when the world's richest man, Elon Musk, founded a company called "Neuralink". By around 2021, relevant technical documentation had already been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to expedite human trials. He also stated that this technology would enable many paralyzed individuals to control smartphones and other devices using their brains, and further advancements would be made, including influencing signals between neurons, to address numerous human issues. He reiterated that this technology would allow many paralyzed individuals to control smartphones and other devices using their brains, and further advancements would be made, including influencing signals between neurons, to address numerous human issues.

Isn't this a contract of selling oneself

Not entirely. This issue is very complex to explain. To simplify, the general work involves maintaining the stability of the Eternal Life World and addressing the virtual technology issues present in the real world. Li Han provided an easy-to-understand example: "Take the Li Yun case that happened in your home as an example. In the future, the management, investigation, and even apprehension of AI individuals may be conducted by us, at least in the Huazone region."

Indeed, there are quite a few wealthy individuals here, and making money is relatively quick Zhang Yunxi replied somewhat awkwardly

Three men and one woman, among whom one person is surprisingly the greasy man he encountered at the station

Until recent years, Lingjing Group has finally perfected this technology and successfully applied it to the Eternal Life World, thereby transforming the way humans live

I would like to formally introduce you to Qingshan Theological Seminary. Li Han looked at Zhang Yunxi with a serious expression: You should have noticed that our internal environment is completely different from what is publicly disclosed. To put it simply, we are a third-party talent agency primarily funded by the Spirit Realm Group, and the educational mission of our institution is to cultivate elite talents for the Eternal Life World and the special judicial department that will be established in the future.

"As you understand, Qingshan Theological Seminary is not a conventional institution. Our admission review process is also very rigorous. We do not focus on your actual academic performance, but rather emphasize your unique abilities and aim to maximize them during the four years of study." Li Han continued, "Therefore, if you wish to enroll, you will need to sign a confidentiality agreement with us, and after graduation, you will be required to sign a labor contract. The specific work assignments will also be designated by the institution at that time."

In this way, individuals in the real world can transfer their memories to the terminal of the eternal world when they are on the brink of death, awaiting resurrection in the virtual world. However, these "memory beings" cannot possess perception, as their brains have completely died, resulting in subtle differences in their experiences within the virtual world compared to those of individuals in real life.

Zhang Yunxi looked bewildered: "I... I am the lowest?"

It is a rather personal statement that many people wish to enter Qingshan Theological Seminary, yet they cannot find a way in. The quality of education and the resources we provide here are exceptionally advanced. For instance, in the field of genetic biology that you are studying, it is quite difficult to engage in actual clinical trials at other institutions before the age of thirty-five. " Li Han frowned and said, "This is a paradise for elites"

Outside the dormitory area of Qingshan Theological Seminary, a young man, carrying simple luggage, whispered into his smartwatch phone, "Zhang Yunxi, right? Rest assured, I will give you a definite answer within a week"

Zhang Yunxi's face flushed red, and after holding back for a long time, replied: "Yes, I am a biology student and have some insights into pharmaceuticals, so... I have achieved some minor accomplishments in this area. You also know that many wealthy individuals in reality suffer from issues in this regard... Therefore, seeking medical advice here... would not be so awkward."

Zhang Yunxi looked at the actress A You and couldn't help but exclaim: "My parents, being still young and not suffering from any serious illnesses, were also quite resistant to this kind of technology, so they did not store any memories during their lifetime. Alas... if they had not been so stubborn, perhaps I could still see them here."

Zhang Yunxi is a person with a keen mind. He did not fall for Li Han's persuasion, but instead thought for a moment and asked: "I would like to inquire about the general job responsibilities in the future. Will it be working as a clerk in the judicial department?"

The charming actress Miss Ayou, who recently passed away due to a terminal illness, applied for memory download and upload services from Lingjing Group after her diagnosis, thus obtaining the opportunity for "eternal life" here

Is Liang An's doctorate correct

Cough cough

Refreshing! Li Han nodded with a smile: "I will share it with you through the consciousness information sharing chain."

Sister Youyou, you will always be my goddess! From now on, I will use my dad's data account every day to listen to your album, support your new tour, and help you climb the charts! Sister Youyou, I love you so much, I'm sorry, I'm a bit too excited... A fifteen or sixteen-year-old devoted fan shouted tearfully, completely ignoring the astonished gazes of others.

Two different voices have been in constant debate until today, never ceasing.
