[Ten Thousand Worlds]
It's the one that Gao Fu, the one that gets stronger while sleeping.
"Gao Fu? Sleeping?"
Su Luo glanced through the materials sent by the Mutual Aid Association.
Since the end of the first Continued Battle, Gao Fu has rarely appeared in public areas, and his behavior has become increasingly reclusive.
Later, as regional exchanges increased, it was confirmed that their lifestyle was extremely fixed: they slept once a day, and then slept for a whole day at a time.
The Mutual Aid Association members tried to contact him, but he remained calm, registered under his name in the combat department, received a basic allowance, and then... went back to sleep.
No one knows exactly how he acquired and upgraded his skills, nor what combat or support abilities he possesses besides sleeping; his growth trajectory remains a mystery.
He participated in the second District War, but his performance was mediocre, and he basically just coasted through.
In short, their strength is not great, and it's unclear why they received an invitation.
"I need to talk to him when I get back." Su Luo noted this suspicious point, then focused on the present, looking at the large amount of Survival Coins that had appeared on the panel, and took out [The Genli Zhi Mo (Legendary)].
Let's strengthen it before we leave.
The Mutual Aid Association was able to transfer approximately one billion Survival Coins at once, and that the local market prices have barely fluctuated, indicates that the recent implementation of the contribution system and resource recycling efforts has been very successful...
With that in mind, Su Luo clicked on [Item Enhancement].
[Cost required to upgrade to +4: 55,500,000 SC]
[Enhancement successful!]
[...]
[Cost required to upgrade to +8: 172,500,000 SC]
Looking at the less than 40 million Survival Coins left on the panel, and the more than 170 million Survival Coins needed to upgrade to +8, Su Luo stopped.
It's too expensive, and Su Luo's luck is not good. She even failed once during the enhancement process and was downgraded, which directly wasted one or two hundred million.
But you get what you pay for; the effect of [Genli Zhi Mo (Legendary) (+7)] has become:
[After you use this, your Mana consumption will decrease moderately, your affinity for most energies will increase moderately, and your energy manipulation precision will increase moderately...]
Furthermore, passive "Synchronisation" has also been significantly enhanced.
With everything ready, Su Luo officially retrieved the email from her inbox.
A letter with a unique texture, its edges shimmering with a faint golden light, and its antique style exuding an indescribable elegance, appeared in his hand. The material of the letter was unidentifiable, but it felt warm and resilient to the touch.
"That's more like it."
Su Luo flicked the letter with her finger, producing a pleasant sound like jade striking each other, which was completely different from the material vouchers and teleportation scrolls that the system usually distributed, which were so plain that they were almost shabby.
"This invitation is classy."
Looking at the World Channel again, Su Luo opened the envelope, and a plain, unremarkable voice appeared directly in his soul—not the system's voice.
[Please select the items you wish to bring]
Su Luo, who had already filled the System Space with portable high-energy Mana Pools, potions, and other items, was slightly taken aback before attempting to specify the items.
"This spherical region of space beneath my feet, with a radius of five hundred kilometers, includes all matter and energy within it."
[Target item is too large to be teleported]
Everything within a hundred meters of me, including the space around me.
[You cannot control it, you cannot teleport to it]
"Transfer me to my current Laboratory, along with all its internal items and structures."
[Transferring...]
"It's better than the system; it even helps teleport you to the Laboratory..."
Before Su Luo could finish her last thought, an indescribable blunt force struck the back of her head!
It felt like I'd been hit by a super-large diameter tunnel boring machine; everything suddenly went black.
[Your Identity: Temporary World Master the Advanced World [ Under the Under the Starry Sky]]
All senses were instantly severed.
The people of the Yuncang Star System have already started farming in the sea of stars.
Imagine equipping a planet with a glass dome to cultivate a giant bonsai; or deploying glowing nanoprobes into the sub-icy Oceans of a gas giant.
At birth, each baby has a pre-existing neural interface that grows as resiliently as a birthmark. Cities are vertical forests, data is a flowing river of light, and aging is disassembled into repairable component modules.
In the new millennium, humanity seemed to have entered an unprecedented golden age. Their footprints had covered every named and unnamed corner of the Fixed Star system that gave birth to them, and their eyes were fixed on the infinitely vast universe, eager to explore.
They thought they had illuminated every dark corner of the Yuncang Star System, and could even hum songs in Vacuum.
However, this is not the case.
As revealed in the opening introduction of one of its advanced worlds, the super immersive reality game "Ten Thousand Worlds," which has swept the entire Yuncang Star System and boasts over 30 billion registered users:
They stood atop the technological wonders they had created, with an ancient, Burn galaxy above them.
The starry river was silent, yet it was like a cold, clear Mirror, reflecting the unchanging glory and bestial Essence of their cave-dwelling era.
"Ten Thousand Worlds," a colossal machine that has almost covered the entire civilization in just three years, is the product of the pinnacle of information technology in the Yuncang Star System.
When brain-computer interfaces become standard and direct connection of consciousness to Ocean of data becomes commonplace, the barriers of traditional forms of entertainment have long been completely shattered.
The competition in the realism of various games has pushed the limits of ordinary people's sensory perception, with pure technological accumulation giving way to the infinite exploration of experience and possibilities.
In an industry brimming with intense competition, creativity, and technological innovation, "Ten Thousand Worlds" has crushed all its competitors with absolute dominance.
The human population of Yuncang Humans is only 37 billion, while the number of registered users of [Ten Thousand Worlds] exceeds 30 billion.
Nanmen Shi is one of them.
He was just a tired, rule-abiding ordinary player. After finishing ten hours of standardized service work each day, his greatest expectation was to enter the [Ten Thousand Worlds].
No external devices are needed at all; communication devices have long been highly integrated and portable, since they are embedded in the body.
[Welcome player "A Man's Never-Selling-It-All" to the Ten Thousand Worlds]
[Your overall panel looks like this...]
[Please select the target world for this login session]
[Note: Based on your assets and character level, most of the official world is not yet unlocked.]
Nanmen Shi looked at his panel.
[Title: A Man Would Never Sell Himself, No Matter How Poor]
[Race: Human]
[Modeling: (Click to expand detailed model)]
[Level: Lv.5]
[Basic Attributes: (Strength/Agility/ Constitution /Spirit/Perception...) omitted]
[List of skills mastered: (Life skills/Basic combat skills/General skills...) omitted]
[Assets:...]
[World Progress: 17.14%]
[...]
[Accessible Worlds: Beginner World (Official), Erotic Adventure (Private Domain), Good Kids Academy (Private Domain), Unrestricted AI Test Server (Private Domain), Ten Thousand Worlds- established Certified Project for Private Job Exchange (Private Domain)...]
The list is lengthy and filled with all sorts of bizarre and fantastical private worlds, with names that are either straightforward or metaphorical. These servers, built and maintained by players or organizations themselves, form the cornerstone of the vast ecosystem of "Ten Thousand Worlds" and are also the main activity areas for casual players like Nanmen Shi.
Ignoring a whole host of strange and unusual worlds, Nanmen Shi chose to enter the [Unrestricted AI Test Server (Private Domain)] world.
"Ten Thousand Worlds" claims to be "more realistic than reality," with a wide range of gameplay, from hardcore interstellar fleet battles, magical civilization cultivation, and historical civilization simulation management, to casual virtual tourism, artistic creation, and even the most blatant eroticism...
It almost perfectly replicates and surpasses all possibilities in real life.
