Chapter 30 – Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right

After the white box fell on the floor, the space-time wormhole gradually disappeared, and the space within the room reverted to its original state.
“It’s here!”
Chen Yu rubbed his hands together in excitement as he stepped forward to open the box. He then extended his hands into the special packing foam and retrieved an extremely heavy pair of glasses.
“It’s actually a pair of glasses?”
After curiously scrutinizing the glasses, Chen Yu set them aside and fished an instruction manual out of the box.
[Quantum Reading Glasses]
[Intermediate – Move your eyes downward.]
[Advanced – Move your eyes upward and downward.]
[Limit – Move your eyes up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right.]

Chen Yu: “…”
After remaining silent for a brief moment, Chen Yu rolled his eyes.
[You have chosen the basic reading standard.]
Along with the brief appearance of this line of text, Chen Yu immediately felt an intense change.
Time had slowed down.
It was moving at least twice as slow as normal!
When Chen Yu tried stretching out his hand, his hand moved at half the speed it usually did.
“So~ that~ is~ the~ case… Speed~ read~ing~ is~ a~chieved~ by~ slow~ing~ the~ brain’s~ per~cep~tion~ of~ time.”
Now, even the speed of his speech felt slower than usual.
Afterward, Chen Yu slowly raised his hands and removed the quantum glasses. As soon as he did so, his perception of time reverted to normal.
“The flow of time in the world around me remains unchanged. So, these glasses raise my brain’s efficiency?” As he carefully appraised the glasses in his hands, Chen Yu could not help exclaiming joyfully, “What a good product!”

Following which, he wore the glasses again and was met with a few lines of text.
[Glasses have been removed. Reading mode turning off.]
[Information source detected. Do you wish to enter reading mode?]
[If yes, blink your left eye.]
[If no, blink your right eye.]
Chen Yu blinked his left eye.
[You have entered reading mode. Please select a reading standard.]
[Basic – Move your eyes upward.]
[Intermediate – Move your eyes downward.]
[Advanced – Move your eyes upward and downward.]
[Limit – Move your eyes up, up, down, down, left, right, left…]
Without waiting for the introduction to end, Chen Yu moved his eyes downward.
[You have chosen the intermediate reading standard.]
In the next instant, the flow of time around him became even slower than before.
Time had slowed by at least three times!
“Too~~ awe~~some…”
In the time Chen Yu took to close his slow and dull lips, he had already finished reading the first page of his language textbook. However, when he reached out to turn the page, he discovered that his page-turning speed was simply too slow. Hence, he placed the textbook’s spine on his left hand and bent the top edge of the book with his right hand before gradually loosening his thumb.
Shua… Shua… Shua…
The pages of the book turned one after another.
Three minutes later, Chen Yu finished reading the middle school language textbook.
When he removed the quantum glasses, he felt as if ages had passed by already.
In his consciousness, he had spent over a dozen minutes reading the textbook.
“This thing…is truly amazing!”
After passionately stroking the frame of the glasses, Chen Yu pulled out his phone and sent a WeChat message.

[Chen Yu: “This thing is amazing!”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Have you tried it already?”]
[Chen Yu: “I tried it. It’s very, very wonderful. I like it very much.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “It’s great that you like it, Mr. Chen.”]
[Chen Yu: “However, I have a question regarding this Quantum Reading Glasses.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Please ask.”]
[Chen Yu: “While this thing’s function is wonderful, what about its power consumption? I didn’t find any recharging equipment in the package, either. What happens if it runs out of power?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “You don’t need to worry about this. Once the glasses run out of power, all you need to do is replace the nuclear battery.”]

[Chen Yu: “???”]
