Xu Shangqi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. His figure was not tall, not taller than Xu Shangqi, but wider and stronger than Xu Shangqi's body. He had the typical thick-browed and big-eyed appearance of a Chinese person, with a square face and a broad forehead, looking full of righteousness.

However, his expression was very gentle, looking at Xu Shangqi with a smile and saying: "So this is little Xu. Hearing about you is not as good as seeing you. I heard you graduated from Tongji University?"

"Um, yes." Xu Shangqi answered instinctively, but suddenly he thought that was all in the previous universe. He had no academic qualifications here at all. If he admitted it, wouldn't it be equivalent to academic fraud? So he said stutteringly: "Actually, it's not..."

"I heard you are in the Department of Civil Engineering. Is your dean surnamed Ma? I remember seeing him once when I went there for a meeting last time."

Xu Shangqi widened his eyes in surprise. He pursed his lips and recalled, saying: "No, our dean is surnamed Chen, called Chen Jian..."

Before the last syllable was spat out, Zheng Xian realized it as if he had suddenly understood and said: "Oh, old Chen, I forgot. Yes, he is the dean of the School of Engineering. Dean Ma is from the School of Mathematics."

He walked up and patted Xu Shangqi on the back. Shiler, Zheng Xian, and Xu Shangqi came to the sofa in the reception area and sat down, while Reilly and Squirrel Girl, who came over at the same time, sat on the chairs by the window.

Shiler just sat on the chair, adjusted his posture, looked at Zheng Xian's face, and said: "Director Zheng, I suppose you have seen the results of our dream world teaching system development. What do you think?"

Zheng Xian also adjusted his posture and said: "In fact, it is very amazing. I didn't expect that the Dream School could be opened in this form. I originally thought it was just a small fight between mutants. I didn't expect that even young heroes in New York and many mages would participate."

"This is indeed a very good idea, and it has achieved results. Under the current situation, it is a great opportunity for talented young people to show their skills. In the era of change, waves wash away heroes, and no one wants to miss this opportunity."

"It's a good thing that young people are full of energy, but it's inevitable that they will appear frivolous and reckless, or even help with trouble, because of insufficient education and accumulation. But if they are pressed in school to study now, none of them can calm down, always feeling that if they are one step slow, they will be abandoned by the train of the times."

"Since this is the case, it is indeed a good method to use the time in the dream. When you told me about this plan, I was still a little hesitant. After all, sleep is the time for human rest. If you frequently engage in mental activities in dreams, it will inevitably affect the quality of rest."

Shiler showed a knowing smile and said: "This problem has already been explained in the paper I published before. The influence of activities in the human subconscious on the surface consciousness is very strange. Subconscious development has always been a hot topic. The reason is that the subconscious does not occupy the thinking bandwidth of the surface consciousness, but it can deeply influence the surface consciousness."

"And opening a school in a dream is a kind of utilization of the subconscious. The knowledge learned in the Dream School will not be remembered immediately. Even after waking up, students will not remember what they learned."

"But when they encounter this knowledge point again in the real world, they will instinctively understand it with the ideas they have learned. When encountering things to recite, they will also be 5~6 times faster than usual recitation time, which greatly compresses the learning time and will not put pressure on the surface consciousness."

Zheng Xian nodded, clearly recognizing this theory. In fact, the S. P. E. A. R. also tested this, and it was indeed as Shiler said. After students woke up, they would only vaguely remember dreaming of studying at school, but the details were very vague, and they would not feel bored or pressured. Some didn't even remember dreaming at all.

However, the knowledge they learned in the dream world would cause changes in their subconscious thinking, so when they encountered the same knowledge and problems in the real world, the exercised subconscious would guide the surface consciousness to memorize and answer in an efficient way of thinking.

Therefore, this is not a thinking empowerment. The process of memory and thinking is still carried out autonomously by the students themselves, but because of the guidance of the subconscious, the efficiency is higher and the speed is faster.

Zheng Xian sighed and said: "If human technology is innovated step by step, then we might have enough time to use the iteration of several generations to cultivate the technical talents we need. But this explosive technological development means that we have almost no time to reshape the education system."

"Yes, artificial intelligence is useful, but unfortunately, the development of artificial intelligence technology is not as fast and diverse as other technological developments. We need artificial intelligence, but we also need more scientists and technical talents."

"Thank you, Dr. Shiler. We have always believed that education is the foundation of the country. With social development, new education routes will inevitably trigger widespread and intense discussions. You have provided us with one more path, and it is a practical and feasible path... You are a forever friend of the Chinese people."

Upon hearing this sentence, Xu Shangqi was startled. He widened his eyes and looked at Shiler. Good guy, did he just get the iron coupon and dan book? Is he that awesome?

Clearly, Xu Shangqi also reacted now. This is not just a simple dream. Mainly he knows that with his brain, it is unlikely to make such a complex, strange, absurd, but detailed dream.

And if this happened in the previous world, he would definitely think it was a dream. But after all, this is the Marvel world, with gods, demons, and superheroes. It is a world with superpowers, so it is normal for him to teleport to another space when he sleeps, right?

During the time Shiler and Zheng Xian were talking, Xu Shangqi gradually sorted out his chaotic thoughts. He guessed that this might be a soul space, where everyone's souls were put together, so they could communicate and move together.

However, he only watched the movie, so he was not sure who in the Marvel world had such ability. Professor X did not show such ability in the "X-Men" series of movies. However, if he had to push a suspect, Xu Shangqi would definitely choose him.

Xu Shangqi knew that Professor X was a good person with a very high moral level. If he created such a space to let young heroes learn, it would make sense. And because the moral level was high, Xu Shangqi could also be slightly relieved.

However, it seems that the psychiatrist Shiler in front of him is not as simple as he looks on the surface. After all, throughout history, there have been only a few foreigners who have won the title of "Forever Friend of the Chinese People".

This also raised a doubt in Xu Shangqi's heart. What did Shiler do? It sounds like he just published a paper and made some academic achievements. How did he directly fill up the favorability?

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet." Shiler opened his mouth again and said: "The exchange activity between the underworld and the netherworld should have ended, right? This should be the last exchange activity accepted by the Egyptian pantheon. How is the response to the exchange activity of the pantheon on your side?"

"Very good." Zheng Xian leaned on the armrest on one side of the chair, crossed his fingers, recalled, and said: "Because there are many local pantheons, the activity may have to continue for a period of time. The next batch of pantheon members to set off for exchange should already be on the way... Little Liu, who was the last batch that left?"

At this time, a male youth like a document clerk behind Zheng Xian came up. He flipped through the document in his hand and said:

"In May this year, the Local Pantheon Deity Management Bureau under the S. P. E. A. R. held the 'Retracing the Old Road of Journey to the West, Remembering the China-India Friendship' activity, aiming to carry out cultural exchanges between pantheons with countries along the Journey to the West route..."

"The Han Buddhism pantheon sent the 'Fighting Buddha' as a visiting special envoy to go to the Hindu Heaven for friendly exchanges, sharing the past of Journey to the West and drawing closer the China-India relations..."

Xu Shangqi widened his eyes.

Friendly exchange and send the Fighting Buddha?! Why don't you just say that the China-India co-produced "Havoc in Heaven 2" is about to be released? Am I having a fight with Brahma?

Wait, this is not dreaming!

Xu Shangqi suddenly realized, is there really a Fighting Buddha??!!

Afterwards, what Zheng Xian and Shiler said, Xu Shangqi could no longer hear. His head was full of monkeys.

Until the topic returned to him again, and his name appeared in the dialogue again, Xu Shangqi came back to his senses from the episode of the Mouse Spirit stealing lamp oil and asked somewhat confusedly: "Ah? What?"

Shiler looked at him somewhat helplessly and said: "Director Zheng asked what method you practice. He saw traces of internal energy running in your body."

Xu Shangqi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a difficult expression. He knew that the owner of this body must have practiced internal martial arts, but he was a college student in the 21st century, a very pure materialist, who never spoke of strange powers and chaos. How could he know what kind of cultivation method he practiced?

"Is it a family tradition?" Director Zheng saw Xu Shangqi's expression and said: "Most of these methods passed from father to son, son to grandson, don't know which school they belong to after being passed down, which is normal."

Xu Shangqi immediately began to nod desperately. He recalled the plot he saw in the "Shang-Chi" movie, and he seemed to be a family inheritance.

Zheng Xian touched his chin and said: "Since humans entered the interstellar era, the gods under the Han Buddhism system have been very active in exchange activities, and the Taoist system has not been idle, always carrying out the source of the origin, and bringing the family inheritance disciples who have been separated for many years back to the sect."

"Famous orthodox schools such as Huashan, Longhu Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Shushan, Kunlun Mountain, etc., are all sorting out classics and methods, which is convenient for inheritance and teaching. There are also side doors such as Tangmen, Miaogu, and Ma Jia who are in charge of Qi refining, alchemy, and animal taming. There are even more people in the nine streams and twelve left paths, which can be described as a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending."

The more Xu Shangqi listened, the brighter his eyes became. Is China in the Marvel world actually a fantasy version of the Huaxia land??

May I ask, which Chinese person doesn't have a dream of cultivating immortality?

He discovered that he seemed to have been limited by the thinking of the movie plot. This is the Marvel world, but the Marvel world is not only America. Even if the movie only shows America, it doesn't mean his hometown doesn't exist!

America has super-powered people, China must have them too, and there are them all over the world. America has gods who go high and low, China must have them too. Then why does he have to stay in this one-third of an acre in America? Isn't it good to go home?

Just as Xu Shangqi raised this thought, he heard Shiler say: "Indeed, since entering the interstellar era, besides the rapid development of science and technology, the mystery world has also made great progress. Whether it is the Eastern pantheon or the Western pantheon, everyone has started to change from that mysterious state of discussing the Tao to a practical innovation route. This is indeed a good thing."

Zheng Xian smiled and nodded and said: "Even practitioners enjoy the benefits brought by civilized society. Famous orthodox schools also need broadband. If ordinary people rely on developing technology and drive spaceships to other star systems, they are still sitting here discussing the Tao. How can they talk about enjoying civilized society? If you don't roll now, when will you roll?"

"However..." Shiler touched his lips with his hand and said: "The more this is the case, the more there are those ignorant rats who want to try to see if they can stir up this pot of soup with their stupidity and arrogance. Nick has complained to me about this several times. I heard that it is not peaceful on your side either?"

Zheng Xian immediately heard that Shiler had something to say. He thought for a while and understood a little, so he said: "Before we carried out dream education, we indeed had to eliminate some stumbling blocks, otherwise it would be difficult to ensure the safety of the students."

"I heard from Nick that some rats don't seem to be satisfied with staying in one soup pot and actually want to jump back and forth in two pots?"

Shiler emphasized again, obviously pointing to something, but soon he sighed with regret and said: "Unfortunately, the American government's law enforcement is not strong enough, the FBI only knows how to shirk responsibility, but S. H. I. E. L. D. does not have enough manpower..."

Zheng Xian understood and said: "Don't worry, Doctor, if there are really rats who want to pollute the flowers of the motherland, they will see what real iron fists are."
