Neil was awakened by the beeping of his phone. He felt a slight heaviness in his head, as if it were echoing the stargazing from the night before. He rubbed his eyes and made an effort to pull himself out of bed, his gaze fixed on the clock on the wall across the room. The clock's hands showed that it was already 11 in the morning.
"Oh my, how did it get so late?" he sighed to himself.
Neil picked up the phone from the bedside table and saw a message from Sophia. The message was simple yet thoughtful: "Good morning, Neil. How are you feeling today after last night's stargazing?"
Neil felt a warmth in his heart and quickly replied: "I'm doing well, thank you. The artificial starry sky brought me a kind of unprecedented tranquility."
After sending the message, Neil slowly stood up, walked to the window, and pulled open the curtains. Sunlight streamed through the window, sprinkling his face with warmth. He sighed, feeling a kind of indescribable comfort.
Afterward, he began to consider what he should do on this leisurely holiday. He first thought of work, but quickly dismissed the idea. After all, even the observant and analytical The Eye of the Philosopher observer needed rest and entertainment.
In his living unit, there is a highly automated and nearly unmanned environment. The air is filled with a fresh scent from advanced air filters, and the smart display on the wall immediately shows today's options. He walks over to the multifunctional desk, and a series of icons appear on the desk surface. One of the icons shows "Virtual Bookstore," while another shows "Knowledge Expansion Module."
Neil decided to immerse himself in the world of books and chose the "Virtual Bookstore." In an instant, his entire field of vision transformed into a spacious bookstore filled with various types of virtual books.
In the "Philosophy and Psychology" section, he downloaded a book titled "Multiverse and Human Nature." After browsing through a few chapters, he felt drawn to its profound philosophical perspectives.
He looked up at the time and realized that it was close to sunset. So he opened the room's panoramic simulation window and watched a highly realistic simulated video of the sunset.
Then, Neil activated his thought integrator - an advanced AI assistant that helps him integrate and analyze information. He said to it, "Today I read about philosophical perspectives on Multiverse and human nature. I want to integrate this information to better understand my role as an observer."
The integrator quickly analyzed the content he read and generated a multi-level thinking model. This allowed Neil the opportunity to observe and analyze his role and mission from multiple perspectives.
"Do you think this is helpful to you?" the integrator asked.
"Definitely," Neil replied, "this got me thinking about how, as a multiverse observer, I can more comprehensively understand the world I observe."
Although feeling tired, Neil's spirit felt fulfilled. He knew that this day was just the beginning of his long exploration, and such exploration would be invaluable to his understanding of the multiverse and himself.
Neil was immersed in the environment of a virtual bookstore, lightly touching the screen and flipping through page after page of philosophical books. Suddenly, his phone emitted a series of "beeps," the exclusive alert tone of The Eye of the Philosopher. He looked at it in surprise and found an urgent message from Macol —the manager of The Eye of the Philosopher observers.
Neil quickly glanced at the message from Macol, filled with questions and anticipation. He knew that such an urgent message usually meant that something significant was about to happen. He closed the interface of the virtual bookstore, put on his coat, and left his residence without looking back.
He walked to the parking lot and opened his futuristic electric car, which was fully automatic and capable of traveling in the air and on the ground. The car not only had a stylish appearance, but also was equipped with various advanced technologies, including but not limited to automatic driving, holographic navigation, and a rapid transport mode for emergency situations.
"Head to the headquarters of The Eye of the Philosopher," Neil said to the voice assistant in the car.
The car started quietly and quickly drove out of the parking lot, merging onto the high-speed flying lane leading to the headquarters of The Eye of the Philosopher.
Before long, Neil arrived at his destination. He entered the main observation room of The Eye of the Philosopher, where Macol was already waiting for him.
"Neil, I'm glad you could come so quickly. This mission is extremely important," Macol began to explain as he opened a three-dimensional map of the universe.
Macol gently placed his palm on the control interface of the three-dimensional universe map, and specific coordinates gradually enlarged to fill the screen. "The universe you see here is vastly different from our own. They are still in the era of primitive weapons, without Multiverse observation technology or the level of energy utilization we have," he paused for a moment, then continued, "But they are now at a turning point in their history. A large-scale faction war is unfolding, which could determine the direction of their world's development for the next few centuries, including technology, culture, and even inter-racial relations."
Neil's brows furrowed, feeling a bit puzzled and uneasy. Why would such an important mission fall on the head of a rookie observer who had just entered the field?
"Are you sure I'm suitable for this mission?" Neil asked cautiously, a hint of uncertainty flashing in his eyes.
Macol looked at him deeply and said, "Neil, sometimes a beginner's perspective can bring unexpected insights. You haven't been confined by our norms and preconceptions, which will give you more freedom to observe and interpret that world. Also, Mentor Erin has a lot of confidence in you. She believes you have all the qualities needed for the more complex tasks ahead."
Upon hearing this, Neil felt a warm surge in his heart. Erin's trust and Macol's explanation filled him with courage and determination.
"Okay, I will accept this mission," Neil responded with a firm tone, standing up straight.
