Chen Luo on the podium was not any of his avatars, but Chen Luo's true form.
After all, unlike crude warriors and easily satisfied priestesses, they only needed to be bombarded by skills.
Well, of course, for the priestesses, the avatars would have to use "Silence" and "Illusion" more to conceal the truth, and also deal with the excess water stains.
But these mages had to use their true forms to mobilize everyone's mental power.
For two days, most of the mages' meditation techniques had also been brought to C-rank by Chen Luo.
However, there were also some things that surprised Chen Luo.
His two disciples were also on the list of students this time. Although they were still young, Chen Luo did not intend to let them go to the battlefield.
But as rare hidden professions, in this world of doomsday, Chen Luo also wanted them to have the power to protect themselves, so he tacitly allowed them to come here.
The special profession of "Extraordinary Gemini" allowed Chen Ruoshui and Chen Ruoxue to share each other's talents, so the two had powerful mental attributes and growth potential far beyond ordinary people.
Moreover, these two girls, after seeing Chen Luo personally teach, also erupted with super strong interest.
From the first day, the two of them proactively sat in the front row, wanting to be closer to their master.
At this moment, in the entire tiered classroom, apart from the Gemini, the mages' complexions were basically pale.
More than thirty mages had their sanity collapse and were dragged out by the doorkeepers.
As for the remaining mages, they were basically in their seats, and Chen Luo had helped them recover once or twice with the Sleep spell.
But the two little ones still looked at Chen Luo with shining eyes, not showing any fatigue, but rather becoming more energetic.
Chen Luo was also very surprised by the progress of his two young disciples.
The meditation techniques of the two had already reached B-rank, and they had also mastered over a dozen different C-rank spells.
All of this was the result of Chen Luo's teaching in the mental space over the past two days.
Yes, within the mental space, the teaching progress seen by each mage was different.
But Chen Luo had not expected that the Gemini's learning progress would be so monstrous.
This couldn't help but remind Chen Luo of their rare-grade hidden profession.
Hidden professions were divided into common, rare, and unique from low to high.
Currently, within Starfire City, there were already nearly a hundred common hidden professions.
However, there were only two rare hidden professions, besides Chen Luo's "Arcane Mage."
One was Hu Tao's "Eternal Saintess," and the other was the Gemini's "Extraordinary Gemini."
Looking at the Gemini's monstrous spell learning speed, Chen Luo couldn't help but have a few more expectations for their future.
...
In the Starfire City, in the council hall,
An avatar of Chen Luo looked at a huge silver basin placed in the council hall.
The basin was filled with clear water, which slowly rippled upon sensing Chen Luo's gaze.
After a moment, the clear water surface displayed a completely different scene.
It was a bustling office, with thousands of people working frantically.
The water surface not only reflected images but also synchronized the sounds from that side.
That was the intelligence office of the capital. The former Divine Machine Intelligence Group, after being reorganized, had all become officials under Chen Luo.
This basin was not Chen Luo's skill, but Zhuge Yun's exclusive skill as a hidden profession, "Water Moon Transmission."
In fact, after the world's ascension, the conventional communication methods of the past had completely collapsed after the loss of satellites in the sky and communication base stations in the wild.
The suddenly strengthened gravitational environment had rendered most technological means useless.
Great Yan had not only lost contact with the outside world, but it was also difficult to communicate in real-time between the imperial capital and Starfire City, which were thousands of miles apart.
However, fortunately, skills could supplement some of the blanks in technology.
After the scene on the water surface rippled slightly, Zhuge Yun's face appeared.
This former supreme commander of the Divine Machine looked unwell, with dark circles under his eyes, making him look like a master of time management.
In fact, these dark circles were also partly due to Chen Luo.
After all, according to Chen Luo's strategy, tens of millions of people were no longer hiding in shelters, being uniformly managed as the weak.
Instead, everyone's role was to be utilized to prepare for any battles that might occur later.
Therefore, the officials had to integrate the daily training, combat, and lives of nearly thirty million people every day.
The amount of information and complexity was enough to give any manager a headache.
And in this era where computers were basically scrapped, the officials could only rely on their own superb mental attributes to cope.
After the image became clear, Chen Luo asked first:
"What is the current progress of the plan?"
Zhuge Yun, in the image on the water, picked up a summarized report and replied to Chen Luo:
"According to the latest statistics from various departments, we have currently absorbed 29,547,336 people."
"Zero point seven percent of them have stepped into the first tier, and among the remaining people, twenty percent have reached level seven of the zero tier or above."
"At the current pace, it will take at least half a year for everyone to step into the first tier."
Chen Luo nodded slightly. Stepping into the first tier was a must. Only after experiencing the first life sublimation could they survive better in this world.
In the image, Zhuge Yun continued:
"The technical repair progress of the Ministry of Science and Technology has not been very smooth."
"After our world's ascension, not only has the gravity changed. According to the information you provided, those energies from the void also seem to be slowly changing the nature of our world."
"Some of the basic physical laws we mastered still exist, but in practice, there seem to be slight deviations."
"It was originally expected to take another year before we could restore communication and the military industrial system."
"However, because of the hidden profession 'Artificer' you brought back two days ago, our scientific research recovery progress should be able to accelerate by thirty percent."
Hearing this, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
The world's ascension was a desperate measure to delay the second impact.
Chen Luo needed time to grow, and the world also needed buffer time.
However, after the world's ascension, most of the technological means that relied on the world at that time would be directly rendered useless. This was something Chen Luo had learned from Theodore before the world's ascension.
But for more preparation time, ascension was necessary.
And after the world's ascension, although everyone's strength had increased, and they had gained two and a half years of preparation time.
But the moment the satellites fell from the sky, it also marked the end of human technological civilization.
Fortunately, it now seemed that while personal combat power was improving, combined with the system's skills and the power after the world's ascension, humanity might be able to forge a new path of technology.
And all of this required time.
Thus, time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
