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]
These were the words written on the instruction manual's front page.
"This is…"
Scratching his head, Chen Yu briefly read through the instruction manual and gained a rough understanding of the Quantum Reading Glasses's ability.
It was a learning assistance device created in the year 2144. So long as the user wore this pair of glasses, they could read much more information within a short time.
The glasses' principle of operation was extremely complex, so the instruction manual did not go into detail on it. The inventor of the glasses merely placed a small comment at the end of the manual—Just believe that it works!
After tossing away the useless instruction manual, Chen Yu grabbed the glasses once more. However, just as he was about to test the glasses, the phone in his pocket suddenly started vibrating, signaling that he had just received a message.
He pulled out his phone and found that the saleswoman from Transdimensional Marketing had sent him a message on WeChat.
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Mr. Chen, did you receive the delivery?"]
[Chen Yu: "I received it. It's called the Quantum Reading Glasses, right?"]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Yes, Mr. Chen. The Quantum Reading Glasses is the product we applied for you."]
[Chen Yu: "Why do I feel like this thing is a scam? Quantum Reading Glasses? Are you sure you didn't just add the word 'Quantum' to a pair of ordinary glasses?"]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Mr. Chen, please rest assured. Quantum Reading Glasses are one of the most popular learning assistance products used in the 22nd century. It is an excellent technological product that has undergone market and user trials. It also matches the conditions you provided."]
[Chen Yu: "Alright, I'll give it a try, then. Talk to you later."]
[Transdimensional Marketing: "Very well, Mr. Chen."]
After closing WeChat and putting away his phone, Chen Yu studied the pair of glasses in his hands for several more minutes before putting them on.

"Wow!"
After wearing the glasses, Chen Yu stood up in amazement as he looked at his surroundings.
The instant he wore the Quantum Reading Glasses and looked through the heavy lenses, he discovered that the world around him seemed to…remain the same.

"It seems like…a normal pair of glasses?"

After walking to his study table, Chen Yu took out a Chinese language textbook and tried reading the first page.
"…"
"…"
However, nothing special happened.
"Maybe I need to power it up?"
Chen Yu took off the glasses and eyed it once more. This time, he noticed a small button hidden above the right side of the frame.
Click.
When he pressed the button, the glass lenses suddenly lit up with a green light, which gave the glasses a very techie look.
"Let's try wearing them again…"
When Chen Yu put the heavy glasses back on, he found his vision dyed with a layer of light green. He then picked up his language textbook once more and started reading the first page. And as he did so, three lines of text suddenly appeared on the left lens.
[Information source detected. Do you wish to enter reading mode?"
[If yes, blink your left eye.]
[If no, blink your right eye.]
"Interesting!" Chen Yu exclaimed, his eyes glowing with interest. "What happens if I blink both eyes together?"
Enacting his thoughts, he promptly shut both his eyes.
When Chen Yu opened his eyes again, he discovered that nothing had changed; all three lines of text remained on the left lens.
[Information source detected. Do you wish to enter reading mode?]
[If yes, blink your left eye.]
[If no, blink your right eye.]
This time, Chen Yu obediently blinked his left eye.
In the next moment, Chen Yu felt as if a jolt of electricity had pierced his brain. At the same time, except for the language textbook and his own hands, everything within his field of vision became blurry. It was as if the world around him had just been censored with mosaics.
[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, 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: "???"]


I am merely a reviewer, albeit the products I review are slightly different. For example, I review quantum computers, artificial intelligence, anti-gravity mech armor, planetary engines, sublight colonial ships, stellar detonators, etc... 
Chen Yu: "The technological product I bring to everyone for today's episode is—a dual-vector foil! W-Wait! Everyone, please calm down! Let me explain..."

Well first of all he cultivates
second of all he does stuff 
and thats "cultivation and stuff

The next day, Mr. Sakata Ikuzo didn't do any work.
"We will resume the work after two days. I will have to get inspired first."
After that day, Mr. Sakata Ikuzo just sat in his chair and read a book; the way he sat quietly reminded Jong-Suk of a Buddha. Jong-Suk was wondering what kind of book Mr. Sakata Ikuzo was so into, but he couldn't figure it out since it was all written in Japanese and Chinese characters.
 
The plant manager called for Jong-Suk.
"Hey, why aren't you testing the product?"
"Mr. Sakata Ikuzo is just reading a book for hours now."
"What book?"
"I don't know. He said he needs to be inspired or something before he could continue the work."
"Inspiration?"
"Yes, he said he needs inspiration."
"Ha. He is something!"
"Right. Japanese people are weird."
"Hmm, let me go and check what kind of book he is reading."
 
The plant manager went to Mr. Sakata Ikuzo's desk.
"What are you reading, Mr. Sakata Ikuzo? Is it fun?"
"Oh, no… I just have to figure out something."
The plant manager seemed to know how to read some Chinese characters. He looked at the cover of the book to see the book title.
"The Book of Five Rings."
"That's right. It's the book of five rings."
"I think I heard of it from somewhere."
The plant manager tilted his head while thinking of the book. He then went to the chief officer of the research center.
"Do you know of a book called The Book of Five Rings?"
"Oh, umm… I think I've heard of it somewhere. Isn't it a martial arts novel?"
"He is reading a martial arts novel to figure out something at work."
 
Mr. Sakata Ikuzo kept reading the book, and sometimes he stopped reading the book and seemingly thought about something with his eyes closed. And he resumed his reading after he was done thinking.
Mr. Sakata Ikuzo's reading and thinking process looked so weird to Jong-Suk.
"Is he reading Buddhist texts?"
Jong-Suk thought the reading might be part of his meditation, or it was some sort of religious practice.
 
The next day, Mr. Sakata Ikuzo continued reading the book without work until late at night.
"Fu*k! I want to go home. Should I wait until he finishes his reading for the day? I have to take him to his hotel. Sh*t."
"Me too."
The interpreter complained as well while standing next to Jong-Suk.
"At least your OneRoom is close to the factory. I have to drive all the way to my house. Fu*k."
 
Jae-Sik who was working night shift saw Jong-Suk grumbling.
"What's wrong?"
"That bossy Japanese guy doesn't want to go home yet. He is just reading a book, and I have to wait until he finishes his reading."
"Really?"
Jae-Sik started patrolling the factory. He checked every office with his flashlight. He was checking if an office's light was still on even though no one was working in that office. Jae-Sik stopped by the area where Mr. Sakata Ikuzo was reading his book. The interpreter was sitting a bit distant from Mr. Sakata Ikuzo, and he was playing a game with his smartphone."
"You are reading a book, sir. Oh, it's The Book of Five Rings."
Mr. Sakata Ikuzo looked at Jae-Sik who was wearing a security guard uniform.
"It's The Book of Five Rings written by Miyamoto Musashi."
The interpreter suddenly hit his forehead.
"That's right! The Book of Five Rings is a book written by Miyamoto Musashi! I remember it now!"
 
Mr. Sakata Ikuzo lifted his head and looked at Jae-Sik again.
"Do you know of Miyamoto Musashi?"
"Of course. He was the best swordsman in Japan. He was a legendary samurai who had never lost in his 60 fights."
"Hmmm. You do know of him."
"The Book of Five Rings was written in his final years. It has been the best-selling book for the longest period in online bookstores and amazon.com in the U.S. as a book for management. He was the master of Niten Ichi-ryu. I like him a lot."
"Oh, I see."
Mr. Sakata Ikuzo scanned Jae-Sik from head to toe.
"It's a shame that he works as a security guard of a factory."
Mr. Sakata Ikuzo murmured to himself.
 
Gun-Ho went to the construction field in Jiksan Town. When he entered the factory yard, Director Yoon ran to him.
"Wow. The building is almost complete."
"That's right. It's really quick to complete the building. It takes time to finish the interior though."
"Really?"
"This is the area where the production field will be; it will be divided into section A and section B. This area is the management office area. And, this is for a conference room, and that will be a company cafeteria and resting area. Please come with me. We haven't installed the guardrail for the stairs yet. You have to be careful when you use the stairs to walk upstairs."
Gun-Ho walked up to the second floor; he was wearing a suit and a safety helmet that Director Yoon gave to him.
"This is the management office area. That one will be your office, President Goo. There will be small and large meeting rooms. That will be the restroom."
Gun-Ho closely looked around the building. A pine tree was once planted in the front yard as part of the landscaping. The factory would look really nice once the construction was completed.
"Once we successfully develop our new product, one by one, we can take 1,000 employees in this factory, right?"
"Of course, sir. We would have enough space in this factory to take 1,000 workers. Moreover, we have a vacant lot over there, so we can always add more buildings at any time."
"What about the power and water supply? Are we getting enough of them?"
"Yes. The previous factory had high electric power capacity anyway, so we can continuously use it. As to the water, we are getting the water supply service, but we are planning to use underground water as well."
"Underground water?"
"Yes. There are tons of underground water in this area. So, we are thinking of utilizing underground water for our cooling facilities."
"Hmmm."
Gun-Ho nodded his head.
"Are we going to use cement for the floor?"
"The entrance area and the factory yard will be paved with asphalt."
 
When Gun-Ho came back to his office in Asan City, he called for his secretary.
"Please ask Mr. Sakata Ikuzo to come to my office."
"Yes, sir."
 
Mr. Sakata Ikuzo entered Gun-Ho's office.
"How's work? I just wanted to have a cup of tea with you."
"Thank you."
"I've heard that you are reading a book these days."
"Oh, yes, I've been reading the Book of Five Rings, which is written by an old Japanese swordsman. The book is very popular as a book for management nowadays."
"Really?"
"The Book of Five Rings is translated into English and is being sold on amazon.com. I recommend you read the book. I'd like to give my book to you, but it is written in Japanese, so it won't be very useful to you."
"I will read the book when I have the chance. Thank you."
"I get inspired by reading that book. The swordsman had 60 fights, and he had never lost in even a single fight. I also wanted to develop 60 new products, but it's not easy to achieve it."
"How many new products have you developed so far?"
"I've developed 20 products. It's not even close to 60."
"Haha. It must be very challenging."
"I've done reading the book, and I got the inspiration I need. I will start again developing the product tomorrow. I will succeed this time and will make you happy, President Goo."
"Thank you."
 
"By the way, you are a very lucky man, President Goo."
"Why do you say so?"
"You have two very good workers close to you."
"Are you talking about the plant manager and the chief officer of the research center? Or are you referring to the sales director?"
"No, I meant the production manager—Jong-Suk Park—and the security guard—Jae-Sik Moon."
"Huh? Those people?"
"I am not sure about their mindset on management, but I know that they are very good workers and professionals. They will assist you and will be a big help to you in the future, President Goo."
"Really?"
Gun-Ho thought about it while rubbing his nose.

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.
