“Haha, I knew it was impossible for him to successfully deduce the fourth cosmic velocity. Who does he think he is?”
“Hehe, that’s right. A poor man from the slums, how dare he dream of defying the heavens?”
“What’s wrong with the slums? Look at what the so-called aristocratic chairman, best-selling novelist, and popular superstar are doing.”
“Oh, there’s also that degenerate, Miyoshi Yamada. He can’t handle anymore and fell asleep only after a round of m*****bation? Not only is he embarrassing, but he’s also hollow. Is this what you call an elite?”
Due to Miyoshi Yamada’s actions, he was affectionately called the “God of m*****bation” by the enthusiastic netizens.
The title would probably follow him for the rest of his life.
“Baka! Damn Miyoshi Yamada! Damn program team!”
The Japanese netizens were furious at their ridicule and Yamada’s incompetence.
However, after hearing the explanation from the passerby, they did not know why, but the viewers all over the world heaved a sigh of relief.
It was really too ridiculous. If the fourth one had been deduced, it would have simply been beyond a human’s scope. As ordinary folk, they simply could not accept it.
Besides, Raymond’s “failure” this time had allowed them to see that, at the very least, Raymond was still a “person”.
He was a “human” with some ability, but it was not too ridiculous.
“Is that the best you can do?”
In his manor in the United States, Professor Antonio Ian sighed slightly. He felt simultaneously relieved and a little disappointed.
It relieved him to see that Raymond’s actions were at least not too absurd.
Nevertheless, it disappointed him when Raymond did not manage to deduce the fourth cosmic velocity. It was a loss for the scientific, mathematical, and physical worlds.

Similarly, it was also a loss for the entire human race.
Over in the library, Raymond scoured every corner with a solemn expression.
There was no deeper information regarding mathematics and physics.
The lack of deeper knowledge meant that the deduction could not go on.
Just as he was feeling troubled, he suddenly had an idea.
F*ck, he could use the Internet for something that the library did not have.
While the humans had suddenly disappeared, everything still operated as usual. The Internet would not crash so quickly.
Thinking of this, Raymond hurriedly went to a computer.
He turned on the computer and found several learning websites. These were the leading knowledge websites in the United States, and they had information on all subjects.
“Is he going to start learning again?”
“There’s a huge amount of information on the Internet. There’s too much. According to the settings for the humans’ sudden disappearance, the power will be cut off after a week, so that’s all the time he has. Will he be able to learn it?”
Raymond had the same concern too.
After a week, the power station would malfunction because no one was maintaining it, and that would result in a power outage.
When that happened, all electronic equipment would be useless.
How could he learn then?
After thinking for a moment, Raymond could only choose the most appropriate method.
He would activate the Ultimate Learning State and learn as much as he could before the power outage…
And that was exactly what he did.
Raymond quickly activated the Ultimate Learning State.
Then, every number, every symbol, and every knowledge point filled his senses. They seemed to be extracted from the computer screen.
Soon after they interweaved and entered his mind, he quickly grasped them.
That allowed him to scroll the mouse faster and faster.

The duration in which each interface stopped was no more than one-tenth of a second before he promptly cut to another page.
If it had been an ordinary person, he or she would not have even had the time to see what was on the screen with such short intervals.
His current actions also stunned the audience.
“The time he takes to flip a page is even faster than the time it takes for me to look at a color map. Is this learning? I refuse to believe it no matter what.”
“Is there a color map on the page? Share it with everyone.”
“No, scram.”
“I’m dying of laughter. Is there such a way to learn? Even when he was flipping through books, it wasn’t this ridiculous!”
“This kind of situation shouldn’t be called learning. It should be data transmission. Could Raymond be some type of AI?”
“Good God.”
The audience once again entered their mocking mode.
Raymond was really too ludicrous.
Some of the scientists shook their heads when they saw this. Raymond’s behavior was indeed somewhat unbelievable and even a little strange.
“After careful observation, I’ve come to a conclusion: the current Raymond no longer resembles a normal human.
“His actions right now indicate that he’s trying to numb himself, like he’s venting.
“In other words, his heart simply can’t accept the sudden disappearance of human beings, and he’s slowly descending into madness.
“Now, it’s hard to say if he’s still normal.”
Someone posted a tweet right then, and it instantly became a hot topic.
The person who posted the content was an internationally renowned psychologist, and he had a lot of achievements in the field of psychology.
If that came from him, then there was something really wrong with Raymond’s psyche.

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.
