I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 8 A Thousand Faces
Xiaotuanshan, Taoye Space.

After half an hour of renovation, the space appears empty, yet it is not a void.

Being in it, one will not feel lonely or uneasy, nor will one's attention be diverted by other things; it is a qualified retreat room.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jing had the main god create a thousand faceless puppets, which were evenly distributed throughout the Peach Leaf Space.

Perhaps due to the uncanny valley effect, the spatial scene was slightly eerie, but the purpose was to master the art of judging people as soon as possible.

"clatter!"

"Da da!!"

Chen Jing strolled leisurely.

They walked up to a faceless doll.

As soon as the gaze fell on the faceless doll, human features appeared on its face.

The next second, it switched to a second set of human facial features, then a third, a fourth...

Chen Jing was not startled. He extended his index finger and lightly touched the forehead of the faceless doll: "Boy."

The faceless doll instantly stopped changing its appearance, and was branded with the face of a human child. Its body rapidly shrank, and it came to life as a seven or eight-year-old boy, waving his arms and pleading with the air, "Mommy, I want this, buy it for me!"

He then walked to a faceless doll beside him and lightly tapped its forehead with his fingertip: "Girl."

The faceless doll transformed into a five- or six-year-old girl, with a serene expression and obsidian-like eyes that seemed to be staring intently at something.

The little boy and the little girl are real human beings who have existed in the real world. Their changes from childhood to old age can be found on the Internet, which is why they were collected by the main god as one of the materials for divination of physiognomy.

"People are divided into men and women, young and old. The same appearance will be completely different in people of different ages and genders. Therefore, before learning the art of physiognomy, one must first understand the influence of gender and age on appearance."

After activating two faceless puppets, Chen Jing stopped what he was doing and handed over the remaining nine hundred and ninety-eight to the main god.

Soon, the thousand faceless dolls in Peach Leaf Space transformed into children of varying heights and builds.

"Crack!!"

Chen Jing snapped his fingers, and a thousand children began to grow up and age.

From childhood to youth, from youth to adulthood, from adulthood to middle age, and from middle age to old age.

When the scene jumps to the final moments of a person's life—whether it's premature death, an accident, or a natural death—the doll will put on a different face and continue repeating the previous process.

A thousand people, a thousand faces; a fleeting moment, a hundred years.

Chen Jing is a mortal, and even with a thousand eyes, he couldn't possibly see everything, but there would always be some things he could look after.

As the saying goes, a gentleman's nature is not different from others, but he is good at making use of things. Living in this technological age, we should naturally make full use of the benefits of the times and not leave convenient tools unused.

Humans have thoughts but are limited by biological limits, while AI has no thoughts but no biological limits.

If humans come up with ideas and then hand them over to AI to execute, efficiency will surely be increased a thousandfold or even ten thousandfold.

Half an hour passed.

Chen Jing was staring blankly at the two puppets in front of him, not yet having gained much insight.

The divine orb emitted a semi-transparent light screen, projecting a diagram of the human body structure using light and shadow, and announced in a cold voice: [The human aging model has been completed!!]

Upon hearing this, Chen Jing abandoned the foolish act of trying to compete with AI; the gap was too large, so large that there was no need for comparison.

"……………………"

"I divide a person's appearance into physical appearance, aura, and spirit."

"The body's appearance is as its name suggests, referring to the state of physical health. The art of observing the body's appearance is the observation method in the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine: observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation."

"Health is the foundation of everything. Even if you have the appearance of an emperor or a high-ranking official, you will be doomed if you are weak." "Whether you have congenital diseases, hidden injuries, or hidden illnesses, or you take good care of yourself and are full of energy, it is difficult to hide them from an old Chinese medicine doctor. Usually, no one will deliberately try to hide them."

"Therefore, among the three aspects, the physical appearance is the easiest to observe."

Chen Jing materialized a wordless book and was writing the basic mental techniques of the Formless Secret Manual.

The main god has ended the two-and-a-half-minute intermission and is once again using the faceless puppet to begin constructing a human body model.

Constructing a physical model is not complicated. It only requires collecting data on various patients, strong individuals, long-lived individuals, and people with different physical conditions, and then using them all in a faceless puppet simulation to complete the model through reverse engineering.

However, with so many types of diseases, the human body also fully demonstrates the diversity of species. Some people have photographic memories, some are full of energy, and some are invincible.

A full hour passed before the cold, authoritative voice finally sounded again: [Human body model completed.]

"........."

Chen Jing examined the human anatomy model.

The text is densely packed with text and video annotations.

The data was too bloated and complex to digest in a short time, so I decisively closed the light screen and continued writing the basic mental techniques of the Formless Secret Manual.

"The art of physiognomy progresses from simple to complex, and I felt no constraints in my thinking."

"To judge a horse, one cannot master the art without understanding its nature; to judge a person, how can a human being not understand human nature?"

"Just as Li Banxian said, everyone has already entered the art of physiognomy, but few have mastered it."

"But with hundreds of millions of fresh materials and the assistance of AI-generated big data, I believe it is not difficult to master the art of judging people."

"The second most difficult to observe is the aura among the three aspects, which varies between the poor and the rich, and between the noble and the lowly."

"The 'qi' in 'qi xiang' refers to the environment and external factors in general."

"Mencius' mother moved three times to find the right environment for her son, which greatly influenced his upbringing. The environment in which a person grows up has a tremendous impact. Being born into a scholarly family, or being born into a fish stall..."

"Birds of a feather flock together, and people are grouped by kind. Very few people can remain untainted by the mud. By studying physiognomy and deducing from one's upbringing, one can analyze a great deal of useful information."

"To deduce a human aura model, the requirements for the deduction material are slightly higher. You must know a person's complete life history in order to use the faceless puppet as material."

Chen Jing's thoughts flowed like a spring, and he wrote down the basic principles of the Qi Xiang chapter.

At the same time, the main god continued to use a thousand faceless puppets to begin constructing a human aura model.

This time it took even longer, a full four hours.

The cold voice of the supreme deity rang out again: [The human gaseous model has been completed.]

"…………"

"The most difficult to observe is the divine aspect among the three aspects."

"God refers to disposition."

"Human hearts are fickle, sometimes tyrannical, sometimes tranquil; loyal, treacherous, shrewd, honest, manipulative, love-struck..."

"People usually wear a mask to hide their true nature; the truly wicked may appear loyal."

"The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang is humble and does not usurp the time."

"If I had died then, who would know the truth of my life?"

"I'm just a newcomer to physiognomy, so I'll ignore those imposters for now."

"Even so, the change in temperament reflected in one's appearance would probably be extremely subtle. It's difficult, very difficult, very difficult."
