Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?!

Chapter 281: Chapter 279: Preliminary Application of New Ability

Nan Zhubin sighed deeply.

Given the current situation.

It seems it’s not very convenient to continue staying at Jiang University’s Psychological Consultation Center.

Find a new place to try doing consultations?

Thinking this, Nan Zhubin twisted the handle of the office area’s door.

Click.

Swish, swish, swish, swish—

Before the door opened, four pairs of eyes simultaneously turned towards this direction.

The office area was crowded with people.

Previously, whenever Nan Zhubin came to the consultation center for consultations, the consultant teachers would get busy: if there was work to do, they’d immediately transfer their workplace to the consultation center’s office; if there wasn’t any work, they’d choose to use the center’s office as a team-building venue.

And now, the consultant teachers naturally knew about what Nan Zhubin did at the supervision conference.

Many people even watched the live broadcast.

Therefore, their attitude towards Nan Zhubin also underwent a huge change.

Fortunately, at this moment, Nan Zhubin also changed.

Creak—

The door opened, and Nan Zhubin looked up.

The faces of the teachers turning around, filled with various micro-expressions, almost automatically poured information towards Nan Zhubin.

[Teacher Bai: Rapid blinking, lips opening then quickly closing again—wants to talk to me, but hesitates.]

[Probably just some unimportant chit-chat.]

[Teacher Ye: Chest heaving, adjusted posture backward, hand gripping the pen tightly—nervous and trying to hide it.]

[Teacher Xue: Looked at me and immediately shifted gaze, started arranging hair—hiding embarrassment.]

[These two were probably just talking about me and now feel embarrassed about it.]

[Teacher Zhang: Pressed lips, throat swallowing, nostrils flaring, gaze on me—wait, something’s off?!]

Nan Zhubin quickly retracted his gaze.

If previously, Nan Zhubin’s [Beginner] [Micro-expression Analysis] was point-to-point "focusing," at most trained into "auto-targeting," allowing for accurate capture of the subject Nan Zhubin wanted to pay attention to.

Then at this moment, [Intermediate] [Micro-expression Analysis] was akin to unlocking facial recognition technology, able to accurately sort micro-expressions from all faces in view from other useless information.

In the past, when assessing the situation on the spot, Nan Zhubin had to look at these teachers’ faces one by one. This might indeed cause some fleeting information to be overlooked.

But now, every second within sight, every corner, every micro-expression change occurring, could not escape Nan Zhubin’s eyes.

Even the current market’s facial expression recognition machines probably couldn’t reach Nan Zhubin’s level.

Of course, knowing everything isn’t always a good thing.

Feeling the unusual gaze from the consultation teachers, Nan Zhubin quickly walked back to his workstation.

Sat down, and then—opened a copy of "Contemporary Educational Psychology."

Began reading.

This was another purpose for Nan Zhubin’s return to Jiang University’s Psychological Consultation Center, besides doing consultations—reading.

To encourage learning, Jiang University’s Psychological Consultation Center had its own library, which, in addition to some psychology popular science books on the market, also included textbooks for all psychology courses at Jiang University and even reference books for graduate school entrance exams.

Nan Zhubin decided to simply experiment with his [Memory Palace] here.

"Flip, flip, flip..."

Nan Zhubin flipped through the book rapidly, his eyes lingering on each page for barely 3 seconds before immediately turning to the next.

Under this speed, which could not even be called skimming, the last page of the book was quickly flipped by Nan Zhubin.

Nan Zhubin closed his eyes, carefully recalling—

[Great, I remember nothing.]

Then Nan Zhubin took a deep breath.

[Emotion Rebalancing], [Emotion Rebalancing], [Emotion Rebalancing], [Emotion Rebalancing]...

Any inappropriate fluctuations in his mind were instantly soothed, while a slight drowsiness surged continuously, layer upon layer like waves, ultimately causing a qualitative change, transforming into a giant wave that engulfed Nan Zhubin’s rationality.

"Bang—"

Watching Nan Zhubin fall asleep immediately, the consultation teachers exchanged a few puzzled glances.

Then immediately started discussing in their WeChat small group.

[Teacher Xue: Is Mr. Nan this tired? There have been quite a few clients coming to see him lately...]

[Teacher Bai: They’re all coming for him, and his consultation appointments are booked until next week. If consultations could be booked for more than a week’s worth at a time, I suspect Mr. Nan could fill an entire semester in one go.]

[Teacher Ye: What do you think Mr. Nan was just doing before, reading? But he was flipping so fast, could he actually be absorbing it?]

[Teacher Zhang: Not sure, maybe it’s some way of relieving stress... Hey, do you think it’s impolite to take a picture of Mr. Nan sleeping right now?]

[Teacher Xue, Teacher Bai, Teacher Ye: If it’s impolite, why are you even asking??]

...

Nan Zhubin was unaware of the consultation teachers’ conversation.

He cleverly utilized the negative effect of [Emotion Rebalancing], quickly diving into sleep.

Upon reaching the Dream Psychological Consultation Room, he immediately turned to look at the bookshelf beside him.

Sure enough, there was already a copy of "Contemporary Educational Psychology," with a cover identical to the one he’d just seen.

Nan Zhubin quickly approached and opened the book, finding neatly arranged text inside.

"Recorded," Nan Zhubin nodded.

He shifted his gaze, seeing neatly placed copies of "General Psychology," "Experimental Psychology," "Modern Psychology and Educational Statistics," "Psychology and Educational Measurement," "Developmental Psychology," "Social Psychology" next to "Contemporary Educational Psychology"...

In the beginning, when reading, Nan Zhubin would carefully read each word, ensuring all the information passed through his mind for understanding, even if he couldn’t remember it.

By the end, he read as he did with "Contemporary Educational Psychology," glancing once before flipping the page.

And even so casually, the book’s content was remembered by Nan Zhubin.

"Looking at it this way, my [Memory Palace] may not allow the retrieval of information at any time, but it certainly has unique advantages—"

"The usual [Memory Palace Method] takes time to memorize, but I can save all information with just a glance, feeling more like a variant of [Super Memory]..."

Nan Zhubin shifted his gaze again, seeing other densely packed pages of textual records on the bookshelf without cover.

"Verbatim Record of Consultation Session Three on Wednesday," "Micro-expression Record and Analysis of Teacher Zhang and Three Others," "Analysis of Xia Tian’s Attire Today"...

"Although these are word-for-word records, they precisely document everything I saw today without error, allowing me to review at any time."

"Moreover, it prevents me from being troubled in the way of [Super Memory]."

With a thought, all non-reference books on the shelf immediately organized themselves into a thick volume titled "Wednesday’s Observations."

Nan Zhubin chuckled softly: "This is getting interesting."

...

"Mr. Nan, Mr. Nan?"

Nan Zhubin’s eyelids quivered, woken by a sudden call.

He looked up and saw Xia Tian’s face.

"Mr. Nan, you left your phone in the consultation room," Xia Tian raised his hand, "There’s a call!"

Nan Zhubin glanced over, the screen displaying [Pingting姐].
