Chapter 177: The Grace of Saving Dao, Invitation to Test
"XX Research Institute?" Chen Jue looked at the two of them suspiciously, muttering in his heart.
However, recalling his previous experience of being deeply immersed in the [Inner Vision] of the body's universe, Chen Jue suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude towards Political Commissar Yao and the middle-aged man named Liu Chengdong in front of him.
Because if they hadn't knocked on the door halfway and woke him up from his previous special state of being unable to extricate himself, Chen Jue would probably still be deeply trapped in the physical universe.
Although that state seemed magical and could allow Chen Jue to enter a certain state of thought, similar to a process of enlightenment, it was extremely dangerous.
It's just like an old computer at home. When running a new version of a program that requires a lot of computing power, it may enter an inexplicable overclocking lag if you are not careful. The mouse will spin in circles, and then it will directly crash and become unresponsive, or even the system will crash and directly display a blue screen. Only a violent power restart can restore the computer. In worse cases, even a normal restart will be in vain because the system is directly damaged.
Before, Chen Jue was deeply immersed in the universe of his body, which was a state similar to brain overclocking.
He faced the cellular universe in his body, but the knowledge stored in it was not sufficient. Although he saw a lot of things, he could not understand them. He wanted to comprehend them but could not fully comprehend them. The cellular universe generated a large amount of information every moment , and the huge torrent of information impacted Chen Jue's [inner vision] perception, as if it was pulling him and dragging him into a BUG, unable to break free.
If this state continued for long, Chen Jue would become like the master who failed to form an elixir by restraining his internal qi and blood. If he was not careful, his consciousness would not return, which is the failure of "practicing the spirit to return to emptiness" as described in Taoist scriptures. He would become a brain-dead vegetative state. In worse case, he could even pass away directly by sitting in meditation.
This is also the reason why Chen Jue has not dared to go deep into his own brain easily since he awakened his [Inner Vision].
Because the human brain is too complex, there are so many "gods" living in it that they cannot be seen directly and cannot be described.
The sudden appearance of Political Commissar Yao and Liu Chengdong was like helping Chen Jue.
Inadvertently, he was pulled back to reality from his state of "incomprehension".
…
"Commissar Yao, Director Liu, please come in first. It's embarrassing to just stand outside."
"The house is a little messy, please don't mind."
As Chen Jue spoke, he took a look at Liu Chengdong. He saw that he was over 1.7 meters tall, with a full forehead, a square face, and wore glasses. He looked very gentle. He did not look like a deputy director of a high-ranking institute, but rather like a scholar. The spiritual imprint emanating from him also had the righteousness of a scholar, and he was elegant and upright. Knowing that this man was not a bad person and had good intentions towards him, Chen Jue smiled and invited the two of them into the house for a chat.
"Okay! I'm sorry to bother you, Comrade Chen Jue!" Political Commissar Yao nodded and walked in with Liu Chengdong beside him.
As soon as they entered Chen Jue’s old house, the two middle-aged men, who were not young at all, were stunned by the scene on the first floor of the house.
The first floor has a large space. It is the result of merging two houses. There is a half-cut white wall standing in the middle. A large flat-screen TV is hung on the wall of the left room. There is a high-end solid wood square table in the room, and various fitness equipment are scattered on the ground.
Sit-up machines, horizontal bars, etc. are all common equipment, but there is a pair of oversized electroplated dumbbells on the ground, as well as a few weighted vests and hand and foot straps thrown there casually that are obviously very heavy.
In particular, the smooth dumbbell plates of the dumbbells had the eye-catching words "200KG" laser-engraved on them, which made Political Commissar Yao and Liu Chengdong wonder in their hearts: "200 kilograms? A dumbbell weighing 400 kilograms?"
"Is this something a human can lift?"
As for the other side of the house, it looked quite ordinary, with a dining table and a simple tiled kitchen next to it. Behind the stairs there looked like a living room with a sofa.
However, when they saw the two unrepaired holes on the white wall of the middle partition, Liu Chengdong and Political Commissar Yao looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Because the two holes on the wall looked like they were punched out by fists, and one could even clearly see two fist marks on the white putty outside the broken and concave bricks.
In addition, there is a very obvious concave handprint on the white wall, which is full of densely packed fine holes. It was left by Chen Jue's previous experiment with the dark energy spray needle.
Of course, the three nutritional supplements printed with the Hongmou logo placed casually on the ground also made Liu Chengdong, who met Chen Jue for the first time, feel that the young man in front of him who lived in a country village house and had an outstanding temperament was like the legendary ascetic monk or sage. The clues inadvertently revealed made him feel that his trip was indeed worthwhile.
"It's a bit messy. Let me clean it up first. Political Commissar Yao, you guys take a seat. I'll go boil some hot water and make some tea." Chen Jue took the two of them and sat on the fabric sofa on the first floor. He took a broom and swept the meteorite dust on the ground.
He threw the bottles and cans that were scattered everywhere into the big lead box and moved them to the other side. His movements were quick and efficient, and Political Commissar Yao and Liu Chengdong were both stunned.
After Liu Chengdong sat down, he wanted to help Chen Jue clean up, so he picked up a bottle of Hongmu nutritional supplement on the coffee table and took a look. The nutritional formula and calorie value recorded on the package made him open his mouth wide: "This... this thing doesn't seem to be a Hongmu product circulating on the market. The nutrition in it is not much different from our internally developed human nutritional supplement!"
"Really? Let me take a look!" Political Commissar Yao also became interested. He picked up the three nutritional supplements scattered on the coffee table and looked through them. He also helped Chen Jue to organize them. It seemed that he also had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
After Chen Jue brought over a pot of ginseng tea, the three of them sat down on the L-shaped sofa and started chatting.
"Comrade Chen Jue, you left in a hurry after the last competition, and I didn't have time to contact you."
"This time it's because Director Liu is here that I took the liberty to come to your door and want to ask you if you are still interested in being a coach in our regiment? I remember you only went there once, and the soldiers in our regiment were looking forward to it. They kept shouting every day, 'I want to learn martial arts from Coach Chen!', which made me worried." Political Commissar Yao said jokingly.
When Chen Jue heard this, his face turned red. He really didn't take the part-time coaching job seriously before. He only taught once and then slacked off the whole time.
Fortunately, he won the first place in the competition for the XX regiment, which made Chen Jue feel at ease: "Political Commissar Yao, I am also entangled in the secular world. Either my roommate is getting married or my friends are inviting me to dinner. As for the coaching matter, I will definitely go next time when I am free!"
Seeing Chen Jue's embarrassed face, Political Commissar Yao laughed and said, "It's okay, Comrade Chen Jue, you are a great master, and the circles you come into contact with are definitely different from those of ordinary people. If you can come, then come. If you can't come, we won't force you."
"It just so happened that Director Liu came here today and he had something important to discuss with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you." Political Commissar Yao gave a look to Liu Chengdong beside him.
Seeing this, Liu Chengdong, who was sitting nearby, quickly replied, "Comrade Chen Jue, I came here to invite you to come out and do some tests at our institute."
"This test was supposed to be arranged after the competition, but you walked too fast and missed it."
"Of course! You won't be allowed to participate in vain! Our institute has sufficient funds, and the minimum starting price for a test is $100,000. If you are selected, you can choose any housing and subsequent work in Vancouver. We can help you solve it."
"Test?" Chen Jue looked at Liu Chengdong puzzledly.
"Yes! Just a few tests! For masters like you."
"For every major competition, we will select some suitable candidates from the competition list to participate in the test." Liu Chengdong said as he took out a stack of information from his bag.
As for Political Commissar Yao, he stood up hastily upon seeing this, and said as if to avoid suspicion: "You guys chat! I'll wait for you in the car!"
After saying that, Political Commissar Yao quickly walked out of the room, leaving only Liu Chengdong and Chen Jue.
Chen Jue took the dozen documents Liu Chengdong brought and looked through them. He was shocked to find that there were several printed photos with his own image in them!
"Eh? Isn't this a photo of me climbing a tree and spending the night in the old forest of Gongshan? When was this photo taken?"
"And this dynamometer..." Chen Jue flipped through the information and found the approximate speed of his climbing the tree marked in the photo. He also saw the dynamometer that he almost broke with a punch. He looked up at Liu Chengdong with a puzzled look.
"The photo above was captured by a field scientific research camera in Gongshan Nature Reserve. The machine below is our second-generation dynamometer, which has now been sent for inspection and warranty. We retrieved the surveillance footage outside the training ground at the base and found that you were the only one who had entered the training ground when the damage occurred, so we speculate that you also broke it," Liu Chengdong explained.
"But don't worry! It's just a machine, we won't ask you for compensation!"
"I'm here on behalf of XX Research Institute. I sincerely invite Comrade Chen Jue to participate in our internal testing! I hope you can accept the invitation!" Liu Chengdong stood up from the sofa and bowed to Chen Jue.
Seeing this, Chen Jue quickly reached out and helped the other person up: "Director Liu, you are too polite. Can you tell me what the test is? So that I can have a better idea of what it is?"
