Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 278: Chapter 276 [Micro-expression Analysis · Intermediate], and the upcoming new project

[Memory Palace·Basic: Store visually received information in the consulting room as memories, allowing the stored information to be recalled within the consulting room.]

Nan Zhubin blinked his eyes.

Memory Palace?

This skill description... is interesting.

Similar to [Micro-expression Analysis], in a certain sense, [Memory Palace] also has real-life instances.

Unlike [Super Memory], which is a physiological mutation, [Memory Palace] is a special memory technique, theoretically achievable through training.

Its basic principle is to transform abstract information into concrete images, stored within a brain-constructed spatial anchor scene, using human sensitivity to space and images to enhance memory efficiency.

In the British series "Sherlock Holmes," the protagonist employs a basic Memory Palace method by "imagining the brain as an empty attic and knowledge as furniture to be placed inside," hence memorizing a vast amount of biological, chemical, and other relevant knowledge.

The ultimate BOSS of a certain season further exaggerates the Memory Palace method, constructing his brain as a library that can recall thousands of pages of information about someone simply by knowing their name.

This is an exaggerated portrayal of [Memory Palace] in film and television.

Slightly more realistic is the case of Ancient Greek poet Simonides. During a banquet, the venue collapsed unexpectedly, resulting in numerous casualties; afterward, Simonides used the attendees’ list to recall all the victims’ positions when the disaster occurred and their respective causes of death.

This is using the "banquet" as a Memory Palace, storing everyone’s "death scenes" as information, and finally using the "list" as a trigger to extract the corresponding information.

Simply put, [Memory Palace] can turn the human brain into a super search engine.

Of course, like all skills achievable through training, not everyone can reach this level.

Other various memory techniques, such as "making catchy jingles," "classifying similar items for memory," "multi-sensory overlay memory method," and so on, can be said to be downgraded versions of the Memory Palace method.

"Just..."

Nan Zhubin furrowed his brows: "My [Memory Palace] doesn’t seem to compare to BOSS; it seems even less than Sherlock Holmes."

"[Store visually received information in the consulting room as memories, allowing the stored information to be recalled within the consulting room]..."

Nan Zhubin suddenly looked up.

He started observing his [Dream Psychological Consultation Center].

Even though this is his dream, in the state of sleep, everything around him feels almost tangible to Nan Zhubin.

Desk, sofa, computer, bookshelf... These things even produce corresponding tactile sensations when Nan Zhubin touches them.

"Could this be my [Memory Palace]?!"

"And everything I encounter during the day can somehow be recreated here?"

Nan Zhubin felt indeterminate surprise.

"Does this mean that if I want to recall something, I have to fall asleep first?"

"It’s not very practical... Wait!"

Nan Zhubin blinked.

If he remembered correctly, he had to prepare for graduate studies next...

There are dozens of professional reference books several hundred pages long, English vocabulary books, and political textbooks to memorize...

Nan Zhubin’s eyes gradually brightened.

"But... if I have to be asleep to recall, won’t it be useless during exams? At best, study during the day, sleep and dream study at night, effectively doubling the study time compared to others..."

Nan Zhubin’s eyes gradually dimmed again.

"Or say, when facing difficult exam questions, I could take a nap, skim through books in the dream, and then wake up to continue writing?"

Nan Zhubin speculated wildly, quickly shaking his head to dismiss the thought.

The functional mechanism of [Memory Palace] could be gradually uncovered through experiments later.

For now, there was another matter to attend to.

...

[You have obtained [Psychological Skill Deepening]]

[Please choose your deepening direction—]

[...]

Still one more opportunity for [Psychological Skill Deepening]!

Nan Zhubin tapped the text lightly, choosing to [upgrade a current technique] this time.

Then he selected—

[Micro-expression Analysis·Basic]

Unlike obtaining [Memory Palace].

This time, at the moment of choice, Nan Zhubin suddenly felt a brief sharpness in his brain.

But following right after was an unusual sense of clarity.

It was as if something blocked in the brain for a long time was finally unclogged. Instantly, Nan Zhubin felt completely "spirited."

[Micro-expression Analysis·Basic] → [Micro-expression Analysis·Intermediate]

[Micro-expression Analysis·Intermediate: Receive, record, and analyze all micro expressions within the field of view.]

Nan Zhubin blinked.

Incidentally, the initial [Micro-expression Analysis·Basic] was not obtained through [Psychological Skill Deepening] but through the first [Psychological Consultation].

There was no corresponding introduction at that time, but fortunately, the mechanism of [Micro-expression Analysis] was simple, and Nan Zhubin quickly figured out its usage.

Now, however, this description...

Nan Zhubin’s eyes brightened again.

Previously, it was mentioned that the capability of [Micro-expression Analysis] in a sense enhances related "attributes" of Nan Zhubin, including observational skills, memory, flexible thinking, etc., enabling a person on-site to accomplish what usually requires professional equipment to review afterward.

But previously, Nan Zhubin’s [Micro-expression Analysis] was still limited to "one person."

When analyzing someone else, he still needed full concentration.

When interrogating Huang Xin earlier, he almost missed crucial information about Liu Pan as a result.

Now, [Micro-expression Analysis·Intermediate] has again enhanced his related "attributes" to the extent that he can analyze the micro expressions of all people within sight?

"Interesting..."

Nan Zhubin rubbed his chin.

"Will experiment thoroughly later."

-----------------

No one else was aware of the changes occurring in Nan Zhubin.

At least Weng Pinting was unaware temporarily.

Master Sister was wrapped in a trench coat, exuding an aura of "strangers keep away," once again waiting at the airport terminal.

In the past half month, she couldn’t recall how many times she had gone to the airport, yet she hadn’t once boarded a plane herself.

Incidentally, Bai Qinghua had already been sent away by her.

Luckily, this time she didn’t have to wait long.

In her view, a tall man halted at the exit, glancing around, soon approaching Weng Pinting.

"Senior Sister."

The man called out: "Long time no see."
