At the Counterasures Research Office, the third follow-up discussion eting regarding the eighth Doomsday Rule was being held.
The eting was discussing the "Mind Lock" issue.
Unlike the usual etings attended only by internal research office personnel, this eting also included three external individuals.
They were precisely the three main lecturers from the Mind Power Developnt Academy: Ouyang Shanyue, Zheng Kexue, and Shi Jingyi.
Gao Liangwei said, "The purpose of inviting the three lecturer professors from the academy this ti is still to discuss solutions regarding the Mind Lock. Please speak, all three of you."
Ouyang Shanyue said, "The Mind Lock restriction is indeed a major problem. The consequences haven't fully manifested yet, but as ti passes, just like how Mind Power recovery speed will continuously increase, the natural growth rate of the Mind Power upper limit will also keep increasing...
I was among the earliest group to research the essence of Mind Power and even established the world's first civilian research association. As early as the initial period when the rules first descended, our research association discovered that the Mind Power upper limit would naturally grow. In the beginning, it could only increase by 1-2 points per month, later 3 points, 4 points... and it will continue to accelerate in the future...
It's clear that if the Mind Lock cannot be removed, Ascendants who are currently leading in benefits will all fall into a stagnant predicant in the future."
"Professor Ouyang, this isn't a classroom, and now is not the ti for lengthy lectures. What we need right now is a solution." Gao Liangwei said, "You are an expert in researching the essence of Mind Power. I wonder if you have any counterasures?"
Ouyang Shanyue pondered for a mont, then shook his head: "Unfortunately, I haven't found an effective solution thod yet. But I firmly believe that this Mind Lock can definitely be broken through by the Ascendants themselves, because I have always believed that the essence of Mind Power is the individual's spiritual will of the Ascendant. Nothing can forever lock away a person's spiritual will."
"Brother Ouyang might be a bit too optimistic." Another lecturer, Zheng Kexue, said seriously, "Mind Power, after all, was brought and unlocked by the Fire Thief. If this Mind Lock was set by the Fire Thief, how can human power break it by themselves? I believe we must start from items."
Gao Liangwei asked, "Professor Zheng is an expert in Mind Power abilities and items. Do you know of any lock-opening thods?"
Zheng Kexue frowned: "I believe to open the lock, we must 'fight poison with poison'. Only abilities or items obtained from the Fire Thief can unlock the Mind Lock set by the Fire Thief... It's just that currently, after checking the statistical database, there are temporarily no items or abilities directly related to this.
However, there are so peculiar abilities and items that might be worth trying. For example, the database records individuals possessing special abilities like 'Prophesy', 'Concept Modification', 'Personal Ti Reversal', etc. Perhaps these special abilities could be effective... If the database coverage could expand to the entire population, there would definitely be more options."
Currently, Beixing Country's ability/item database was most complete for the approximately one hundred million people residing in shelters. Next, preliminary statistics had been made for personnel at various gathering points within cities. Only the data for tens of millions of people living outside cities was largely missing.
As the lecturer for the course 'Research on Mind Power Items', what Zheng Kexue most desired was complete data.
If given the opportunity, forget just the data information of all citizens of Beixing Country, establishing a database covering the abilities/items of all Ascendants worldwide was what he truly wanted.
Of course, that was certainly impossible at this stage. Even with the appearance of the Fire Thief as a common enemy of humanity, countries around the world still couldn't fully unite, nor did they share intelligence resources with each other.
Gao Liangwei said, "A new batch of shelters is still under ergency construction. It's estimated that before the ninth rule is released, over thirty million more people can be accommodated. The data will be further improved by then. However, regarding the special abilities Professor Zheng ntioned, we have already found several individuals to attempt them before."
"Oh? What were the results?"
Gao Liangwei looked at Dr. Zhang Minglu, who spoke up: "Not very good. For example, we found that Ascendant who can 'modify concepts'. Although his ability is strong, he simply cannot exert it at this stage. The concepts he can modify are only those with extrely low public consensus... According to our research, if the total Mind Power of the people who share consensus on a concept exceeds his, he cannot modify it."
"So that's how it is... It seems this ability is difficult to utilize, but such extrely harsh usage restrictions are also common characteristics of many special abilities."
Zheng Kexue understood Zhang Minglu's aning.
If this person wanted to modify the concept of "apple
