Just now, the robot who was also serving as an examiner suddenly opened the door to the lounge, and for a moment, everyone's movements came to a halt. The robot was holding some drinks, which were "Elixir of Ecstasy" - a type of high-alcohol content beverage from the future, extremely rare, and seldom seen even in highly advanced organizations like The Eye of the Philosopher. 0
 
"Please continue, everyone," the robot said in a calm and brisk tone, "I couldn't participate in the setup just now, so I brought these over, hoping to liven things up for everyone." 0
 
 
The robot walked to the long table, placed the "Jilexian" drink down, and then gestured for everyone to start tasting. 0
 
"Come on, this is a special opportunity, don't miss it," Macol said with a smile, as she picked up a bottle of "Jilexian," carefully opened it, and poured it into a delicate glass. 0
 
 
Not long after, a joyful atmosphere once again filled the lounge. With the addition of "Ji Le Xian," everyone's expressions became more relaxed, and laughter and conversation filled the air. 0
 
Suddenly, Erin and Macol walked together to Neil's side and pushed him onto the stage. 0
 
 
"Neil, as a newcomer, do you have anything you'd like to say to everyone?" Erin asked with a smile. 0
 
Neil stood at the front, holding a microphone. He looked around, his eyes finally resting on his mentor Erin and his boss Macol, both giving him encouraging smiles. 0
 
 
"First of all, I want to thank my mentor, Erin, and all the seniors here. Before I joined The Eye of the Philosopher, I always thought I understood the world, but in reality, my understanding of the Multiverse was just the tip of the iceberg." Neil took a deep breath and continued, "Every person and every moment here has filled me with a profound sense of awe and reverence. Especially when I saw the observation devices and technology we use, I truly realized the amazing power of human exploration of knowledge." 0
 
He paused for a moment, looked down at his hands, and said, "Here, there is not only cold technology, but also plenty of human touch and warmth. Just like tonight, even the robot serving as the examiner would bring a box of rare 'Jilexian' to liven up the atmosphere." 0
 
 
Neil's eyes became more determined, "I promise to wholeheartedly dedicate myself to our mission and do my best to become an excellent observer. I know the road ahead won't be easy, but I also believe that as long as we have a common goal and belief, anything is possible." 0
 
He turned to look at Sophia sitting beside him, the psychologist's eyes filled with approval and encouragement, "I also want to thank Sophia, she made me realize the importance of self-reflection, making me aware that observation is not just about insight into the outside world, but also about exploring the inner self." 0
 
 
"When I first walked into The Eye of the Philosopher, my mind was filled with questions and curiosity. The concept of Multiverse is both mysterious and awe-inspiring to me. I don't understand why we are supposed to observe these different universes, and what we can gain from it. But today, after a series of basic training and guided tours, I have a preliminary understanding of this issue." 0
 
He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over every face in the audience. 0
 
 
"In addition to highly advanced technology, I have seen something even more important here, and that is humanity. Today's gathering and the appearance of Jilexian have shown me that this is not just a cold scientific experiment field, but also a place full of life, passion, and human warmth." 0
 
Neil's words slowly resonated with everyone, many nodded, and even some light applause was heard. 0
 
 
"So, I can only say, thank you all for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful world. I look forward to learning, exploring, and working together with everyone in the future, and to further advancing the organization The Eye of the Philosopher." 0
 
When Neil finished speaking, the whole room erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers. He smiled, put down the microphone, and walked back to Erin and Macol. Erin gave him an affirming smile, while Macol patted him on the back, as if to say, "Well done, young man." 0
 
 
Neil took a deep breath and felt like he had finally become a part of the The Eye of the Philosopher family. He understood that this was just the beginning, but he was eager to explore this new world and find his true position and value here. 0
 
"Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to be one of you," he said to himself, then joined in the celebration with everyone. 0
 
 
The staff turned the music to a more intense rhythm, and the whole lounge instantly turned into a small party. Even the usually calm and composed Erin and Macol were infected by the mood, and began to move their bodies to the music. Various lights traversed the space, circulating among the members of The Eye of the Philosopher, and the air seemed to be filled with an indescribable tension and release. 0
 
Neil chose a corner and sat down alone. He slowly drank his "Elixir of Ecstasy," his emotions difficult to express. His gaze drifted over every person in the room, every smile, and every movement. He felt like he was on an observation mission, except this time, the target of his observation was the Multiverse he was in—a universe filled with passion, wisdom, and subtle emotions. 0
 
 
At this moment, a robot walked over. It was a humanoid robot, but it had no facial expressions, only a smooth metal head with a row of tightly packed sensors and cameras embedded on top. Its skin was made of a subtly reflective metal alloy, giving it an incredible sense of advancement. The robot's mechanical arms and legs were clearly visible, but its movements were very fluid, as if it were a carefully designed piece of art. 0
 
The robot stopped in front of Neil and spoke in its calm and rhythmic tone, "Observer Neil, you seem to be deep in thought." 0
 
 
Neil smiled and replied, "Yes, I am thinking about this universe... and my place in it." 0
