Thud.
The white box fell to the floor.
Immediately afterward, the space-time wormhole gradually disappeared, and the surrounding space returned to its original state.
"It's here!"
Chen Yu excitedly rubbed his palms together. He then stepped forward and opened the white box. He then took out a pair of extremely heavy glasses from the special foam packaging inside.
"It's actually glasses?"
After inspecting the glasses in surprise, Chen Yu put down the glasses and took out an instruction manual from the packaging.
Written at the top of the instruction manual were six words:
[Quantum Reading Glasses]
"This …"
Scratching his head, Chen Yu briefly read through the instruction manual and gained a rough understanding of the Quantum Reading Glasses' functions.
This was a learning aid developed in 2144. So long as the user wore the glasses, they could read more content in a shorter time.
In fact, the reading speed would even be faster than others flipping through books!
The theory behind this was very complicated, and the instruction manual did not explain it in detail. There was only a small line of text at the end of the instruction manual — Just trust!
Tossing away the useless instruction manual, Chen Yu was just about to try out the Quantum Reading Glasses' effects when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
He received a short message.
Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu opened WeChat and saw that it was a message from the salesperson from the Transdimensional Marketing Company.
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Mr. Chen, did you receive the delivery?"]
[Chen Yu: "I did. It's something called the Quantum Reading Glasses, right?"]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Yes, Mr. Chen. This Quantum Reading Glasses is the review product we applied for you."]
[Chen Yu: "But I keep getting the feeling that this thing is trying to fool people.
Quantum reading glasses?
No matter how I look at it, adding the word 'quantum' makes it seem like it's trying to fool a fool. "]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Mr. Chen, please rest assured. This Quantum Reading Glasses is one of the most popular learning aid products of the 22nd century. It has gone through the test of the market and consumers. It is an excellent technological product.
It meets your requirements very well. "]
[Chen Yu: "Alright, I'll try it out now. Talk to you later."]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Very well, Mr. Chen."]
Chen Yu closed WeChat and put away his phone. He then observed the glasses in his hand for a few more minutes before putting them on tentatively.
"Wow!"
Chen Yu stood up in shock. He propped up the glasses and looked around.
The moment he put on the [Quantum Reading Glasses], through the heavy lenses, the entire world seemed to be … unchanged.
"It looks like an ordinary pair of glasses?"
Walking up to the study table, Chen Yu pulled out a language book from the bookshelf and tentatively flipped to the first page …
"…"
"…"
Nothing happened.
"Maybe it needs to be turned on."
Taking off his glasses, Chen Yu carefully felt around and found a small button hidden on the top of his glasses' frame.
"Pa da."
His finger pressed the button, and the glasses instantly lit up with a green light that flickered. It was very high-tech.
"Let's try it on this time …"
He put the heavy glasses on his face, and his vision instantly turned pale green.
He picked up the language book again and flipped to the first page. Three lines of text suddenly appeared on the left lens of the Quantum Reading Glasses.
[Information source detected, do you want to enter reading mode?]
[Yes, please blink your left eye.]
[No, please blink your right eye.]
"Interesting!"
Chen Yu's eyes glowed with interest. "What will happen if I close both of my eyes?"
As expected, Chen Yu immediately closed his eyes.
Quantum Reading Glasses: "…"
When Chen Yu opened his eyes again, nothing had changed. The three lines of text still appeared on the left lens.
[Information source detected. Do you want to enter reading mode?]
[Yes, please blink your left eye.]
[No, please blink your right eye.]
Chen Yu blinked his left eye.
In the next moment, as if an electric current had run through his brain, Chen Yu's vision, other than the language book and his own hands, became hazy and illusory. It was as if a high-density mosaic had been applied to his vision.
[You have entered reading mode. Please select your reading level.]
[Basic. Move your eyes upward.]
[Intermediate. Move your eyes downward.]
[Advanced. Move your eyes up and down.]
[Limit. Move your eyes up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right.]
Chen Yu: "…"
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu rolled his eyes.
[Basic reading selected.]
As soon as this line of text appeared, Chen Yu immediately felt an intense change!
Time had slowed down.
It was at least twice as slow!
Tentatively stretching out his hand, Chen Yu's speed had also slowed down.
Even the speed at which he spoke had slowed down.
Slowly raising his hand and removing the glasses, the time around him immediately returned to normal.
"It should be because the time outside hasn't changed, but my brain has become more efficient, right?"
Looking at the glasses in his hand, Chen Yu couldn't help but chuckle. "This is good stuff!"
When Chen Yu put on the glasses again, multiple lines of text appeared on the lenses.
[Glasses have been removed. Quantum reading mode has been turned off.]
[Information source detected. Do you want to enter reading mode?]
[Yes, please blink your left eye.]
[No, please blink your right eye.]
Chen Yu blinked his left eye.
[You have entered reading mode. Please select your reading level.]
[Basic. Move your eyes upward.]
[Intermediate. Move your eyes downward.]
[Advanced. Move your eyes up and down.]
[Limit. Move your eyes up, up, down, down, left, right, left …]
Without waiting for the introduction to end, Chen Yu looked down.
[Intermediate reading selected.]
The next moment, time slowed down even further.
It had become at least twice as slow!
"Too ~ ~ Awesome ~ ~ ~"
Opening his mouth slowly and closing it, Chen Yu finished reading the first page. When he reached out and flipped the pages, he discovered that the speed at which he flipped the pages was too slow. Hence, he simply placed the Chinese textbook in his left hand and bent the book with his right hand. He then slowly loosened his thumb.
Whoosh …
Whoosh …
Whoosh …
Page after page flipped through the book.
Under the normal flow of time, Chen Yu felt as if he was flipping through the pages blindly …
Three minutes later, he had roughly finished reading a middle school Chinese textbook.
Removing the Quantum Reading Glasses, Chen Yu felt as if a lifetime had passed.
In his consciousness, more than ten minutes had already passed.
"This thing … is simply too awesome!"
Excitedly stroking the frame of the glasses, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and sent a WeChat message.
[Chen Yu: "This thing is too awesome!"]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Have you tried it?"]
[Chen Yu: "I've tried it. It's very, very awesome. I like it very much."]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "As long as you like it, Mr. Chen."]
[Chen Yu: "But I have a question for you regarding the Quantum Reading Glasses."]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Please ask."]
[Chen Yu: "This thing seems to have a lot of functions. How is its battery consumption?
I didn't find any charging device in the package. What happens if it runs out of battery? "]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "You don't have to worry about battery issues. You just have to wait until the battery runs out and replace it with a nuclear battery."]
