"I've decided. My father said that since our Meng Pharmaceutical has made money for everyone, we should find a way to give back to the community and contribute to the development of Yunmeng Star's technology!"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Meng turned out to be such a noble businessman, Chen Yiming couldn't help but praise him.
Xie Zhuo nodded in agreement.
Seeing Zhenzhen, Zhang Feng, and Wan Xiaoqi looking confused, he quickly reminded them, "Everyone, let's step outside and discuss this in detail."
Once they exited the examination hall, Zhenzhen couldn't contain her curiosity and asked eagerly, "Wait, what are you all talking about? I don't understand anything!"
Lin Yao observed the situation and felt the clear information barrier between different social classes.
Yao Beiluo and Wang Jincheng came from top-tier families and had likely been educated about star history from a young age. Meng Xingchen, the heir of Meng Pharmaceutical, also had more channels to receive such information.
However, someone like Zhenzhen, who was an unloved young lady, and Wan Xiaoqi from an ordinary background had no access to this kind of news. Not to mention Zhang Feng, who came from a remote star.
The influence of external forces on the Star Network was indeed significant for them.
"This is the holographic pod and holographic Star Network developed by the joint Third Research Institute of the Expeditionary Army. When a person lies in the holographic pod, the mental sensors inside can guide your consciousness into a world where it’s hard to distinguish reality from the Star Network," Xie Zhuo explained.
Zhenzhen and Wan Xiaoqi gasped in surprise.
Currently, Yunmeng Star's Star Network technology was still limited to projecting a world using external devices. Watching a movie felt somewhat real, but experiencing it firsthand was another matter entirely. They couldn't even begin to compare it to what they had just experienced—where one could hardly tell reality from the illusory Star Network world.
However, this holographic pod and holographic Star Network were still prototypes; they were currently only used for military training! The First Middle Academy wanted to ensure higher safety for this practical exam, so they sent you into the Expeditionary Army's trial grounds," Xie Zhuo patiently explained.
"This sounds impressive. But since it's not finished yet, is it okay for us to use it for our exam?" Zhenzhen asked.
"It's fine; this is an official project. I doubt anyone would dare to covet it," Xie Zhuo reassured her.
"If someone did dare to covet it, they would have something even more advanced and wouldn't bother with such minor achievements."
"Oh, I see."
"From the moment your spaceship landed, you entered a virtual world. That was a base scene created using holographic technology designed to test your responses to various unexpected situations," he continued.
"So if we came out early, does that mean we passed the exam?" Zhenzhen asked excitedly.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xie Zhuo's and Chen Yiming's faces.
"Your situation is considered special," Xie Zhuo replied.
"What special situation is this?"
As we discovered, breaking through the weaknesses and coming out strong. It seems we haven't reached the exam goal yet. Speaking of this, Lin Yao felt a bit embarrassed.
From the moment she landed from the spaceship, she sensed that something was off, but she didn't think much of it at the time. It wasn't until she saw their teacher's spaceship explode right in front of them that the feeling became more pronounced. After that, when she tried to summon the system, and the system panel appeared, she confirmed that they were likely not in the same real world anymore.
While flipping through the system records, she found that half an hour earlier, the system had already prompted her: "Detected [Expedition Three Army Base] check-in point. Would you like to spend a check-in point to check in?" During her previous experiments, she had deliberately turned off the system's voice reminders to avoid being disturbed, and since then, she hadn't turned it back on. Thus, the voice notifications had not served their purpose as reminders.
At that time, she thought that this unreal world was created by some high-level illusionist and subconsciously wanted to break through the weakness to return to reality. So, she led the Mingguang team forward without realizing that this was a holographic examination venue.
"Teacher, I think we should be given full marks. After all, we observed carefully and discovered the anomaly in advance; shouldn't this be encouraged?" During the silence, Yao Beiluo suddenly spoke up.
Wang Jincheng clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Exactly! We clearly performed excellently; why does it feel like we've done something wrong?"
"Right! The fact that we could notice something was off means that the examination venue wasn't realistic enough; it shouldn't be blamed on us!" Meng Xingchen quickly chimed in. "Captain, don't you think so?"
"Teacher, what do you think about this?" Lin Yao felt compelled to stand up for her team.
"You have a point. I will report this to the school leaders!" Xie Zhuo thought for a moment and realized they had a valid argument, so he agreed readily.
Since they had come out two days early, Xie Zhuo could only arrange for them to rest in temporary accommodations.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jincheng turned out to be quite resourceful. After staying in the dormitory for a while, he cheerfully asked in their team group chat: "Do you guys want to go to the monitoring room to see how they perform in the examination?"
Meng Xingchen was the first to raise his hand in agreement. "Yes! I want to see how they do without us!"
"Right! I also want to see what those team leaders can achieve!"
This immediately resonated with everyone.
Even Zhang Feng, who usually worked more and spoke less, said: "They are so unrefined; I want to go watch too!"
"Haha! Even Brother Feng can't stand them; it shows how low their character is and how much they annoy people! Let's go now!"
With that, Wang Jincheng led the seven members of the Mingguang team toward the holographic examination monitoring room.
Before they even reached the monitoring room, the attendance reminder came through.
"Detected attendance point: Holographic Control Room. Do you wish to check in at this point?"
For Lin Yao, any attendance point or above was simply a matter of signing in without a second thought. She completed the check-in and received the holographic technology.
Lin Yao couldn't help but marvel at how fascinating the system was; it seemed capable of signing in for anything.
A group of them made their way to the monitoring room, eager to watch the excitement unfold, but to their surprise, they found themselves being watched instead.
"Are you the ones who discovered the holographic exam room, broke in, and exited early?"
The voice belonged to Tang Mingde, the principal of the First Middle School.
It was just a mid-term exam; why would the principal come personally? Lin Yao felt a flicker of curiosity.
Yao Beiluo glanced at Lin Yao and noticed she wasn’t stepping forward to respond, so he took the initiative and said, "Yes, Principal. We were reckless!"
"Reckless? I think you all performed quite well," another man with a rugged appearance interjected before Tang could respond. "You’ve got spirit and brains! Isn’t that right, Old Tang?"
