"Did I miss sothing?" Tang Tianyi muttered to herself after hearing what Luo Chao said, then suddenly widened her eyes, as if recalling sothing.
"So, I was right, wasn't I?" Luo Chao saw Tang Tianyi's expression, seemingly rembering sothing, and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, at that ti, you must have felt like you stayed in that haunted classroom for a long ti, didn't you?"
Luo Chao's words hit Tang Tianyi right in the heart. She hurriedly responded in a gentle voice, "Yes, at that ti my mind was extrely tense, coupled with fear, I felt like my ti spent in that haunted classroom was like an eternity!"
"However, that's just the reality. You definitely felt like you stayed there for a long ti, but when you left, you realized you actually hadn't been there long at all, am I right?" Luo Chao said indifferently.
"Exactly, at that ti, I distinctly felt that I stayed in that haunted classroom for at least three hours... But when I left the classroom, I looked down at my watch and found that only ten minutes had passed..." Tang Tianyi looked down at the chanical watch on her slender wrist, her expression forlorn.
"At the ti, I thought it was a re illusion caused by my heightened tension, or perhaps my watch had malfunctioned during that ti, which made consider repairing my chanical watch."
"Yet with the later normal operation of this chanical watch, and your words today, I've completely dismissed the idea."
"After all, repairing high-priced foreign chanical watches like mine is not only expensive but requires them to be shipped to the headquarters in Switzerland for repair, which would cost not just money but also a great deal of energy and ti," Tang Tianyi said slowly.
At the sa ti, although Luo Chao's words solved Tang Tianyi's dilemma, they also brought with them another problem.
Imdiately, Tang Tianyi asked puzzledly, "But, why is that? Why did I feel like three hours passed inside that haunted classroom, but in reality, only ten minutes went by? Could it be... an illusion?"
"It's not an illusion." Luo Chao spoke slowly. "It's just a special feature of the mind palace. Inside a mind palace, one can speed up one's thoughts and awareness. In fact, it's not that ti in the haunted classroom slowed down, but your own consciousness sped up."
After listening to Luo Chao's words, Tang Tianyi nodded. "So that's it, the mind palace actually has such a wondrous ability. If only I had this mind palace ability, I could dramatically increase my thinking speed and accelerate my research progress!"
"If only I had known, when I was studying abroad, I should have asked that Spiritual Master who ca to the university for a lecture to teach how to enter the human mind palace!"
"Wow, what was I thinking back then, actually suspecting that the Spiritual Master was just impersonating a fraud? I even scoffed at his theories at the ti and intended to report him to the police for promoting superstition! Ah, youth and foolishness!"
Tang Tianyi muttered to herself while patting her forehead in a self-disdainful manner.
It was clear that she deeply regretted her immature actions and thoughts in her youth.
"Wait!" At that mont, it seed Tang Tianyi suddenly thought of sothing. She lifted her head and gave Luo Chao a strange look.
Luo Chao saw Tang Tianyi's sudden change in expression and felt an impending doom, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind, "Oh no, she probably wants to..."
"Luo Chao, let ask you, how do you know the mind palace has such amazing capabilities?" Tang Tianyi indeed asked the question Luo Chao least wanted her to ask.
"Uh... well, I read about it in so books," Luo Chao turned his head, avoiding direct eye contact with Tang Tianyi.
He deliberately lied to Tang Tianyi, because Luo Chao knew that with Tang Tianyi's personality, once he told her he could enter the mind palace, she would do everything to pester him into teaching her how to enter it.
Actually, Luo Chao wasn't a selfish person. It's not that he was unwilling to teach Tang Tianyi how to enter the mind palace, but because although it's a very useful skill in life, the stronger the ability, the harder it is to learn.
To learn how to enter the mind palace, not only does the learner need to have a high innate thinking ability, but they also require a very long cultivation period.
Moreover, during this cultivation period, one cannot practice alone; there must be an expert who can also enter the mind palace to guide and oversee the cultivation process.
This way, it prevents the cultivator from becoming possessed during mind palace cultivation, thus falling into the abyss of consciousness, becoming ntally dead, but physically alive—like a living dead!
When Luo Chao was cultivating to enter the mind palace, he ca close to falling into the abyss of consciousness several tis.
Thankfully, he had his old master protecting him, who, at those critical monts, opened his mind palace and pulled Luo Chao back from the brink.
But despite this, it took Luo Chao a full three months of cultivation to successfully learn the thod while being under his master's guidance.
This was already based on Luo Chao's excellent talent foundation.
Overall, if Luo Chao were to spend three months with Lin Yun, he would greatly welco it.
But if he had to spend three months with Tang Tianyi, with her odd personality and aggressiveness, he would never agree to it.
Tang Tianyi saw Luo Chao avert his gaze when speaking and had already guessed he was lying to her.
Thus, Tang Tianyi coldly said, "Tell the truth, or I'll make sure you don't leave this lab today!"
With that, Tang Tianyi waved and struck the air with her hand wearing the Nuclear Energy Gloves in front of Luo Chao.
"I'm telling the truth," Luo Chao ignored Tang Tianyi's posturing and chose to continue feigning ignorance.
Tang Tianyi saw Luo Chao still refusing to tell the truth, feeling a bit disappointed inside, but she kept a cold facade and said, "Hmph, stop pretending. I know you're lying! Just tell the truth. I know you're worried about forcing you to accompany to cultivate the mind palace. I promise I will only ask you to tell the cultivation thod but won't force you to accompany !"
