Joining the Virtual Universe Company
From Earthling's aesthetic point of view, this old man's appearance is unsightly.
Yet it also gives people a strange feeling of peace.
This green-skinned old man, named Man Luo, is the head of the Slaughter Arena's Black Dragon Mountain Island branch and a big shot in the Ganwu Branch of the Virtual Universe Company.
However, Lin Yan knew more from the original work. This old man, who was sitting in the chair with his eyes squinted and looked extremely relaxed, was actually an Immortal God. The Commerce Department of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain of the Virtual Universe Company was under his jurisdiction.
His status was such that even the emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire could not compare to him.
An incredibly aged, green-skinned old man sat in a corner of the hall, holding a glass of water. He raised his wrinkled forehead and his cloudy eyes.
Lin Yan walked up to him and whispered, "Sir, is there something you need from me?"
The green-skinned old man glanced at him, his cloudy eyes now appearing clear, as if they contained endless wisdom and could see into people's hearts.
"Yes, very good." Man Luo nodded with a smile.
He stood up and said, "Let's go to the Meditation Room to talk in detail."
Then he went ahead and left.
Lin Yan followed behind. He wasn't Man Luo would notice him. After all, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire was just a small place. At the Stellar level, it was hard to find even someone with a seventh or eighth level of domain, let alone someone who had some understanding of the laws.
Of course, how this Immortal God from the Virtual Universe Company will react is another matter entirely.
This scene was witnessed by many people in the hall, who were immediately shocked.
"Who is this person? He has even alarmed Lady Man Luo!"
"Man Luo usually sits there and has never been seen going anywhere else. It's surprising that he would make an exception today..."
They all knew that this green-skinned old man was the person in charge of the Slaughter Arena, and his identity was definitely not ordinary.
However, Man Luo usually doesn't talk to others, so they don't dare to bother him.
This is the first time I've seen something like this.
The Slaughter Arena Hall is a training ground for many elites who are being groomed for special purposes.
A Meditation Room is a highly private room, and many powerful individuals rent Meditation Room for a long period of time, but the cost is beyond the reach of anyone below the Cosmic level.
Go up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
If the first floor is an incredibly spacious grand hall, then the second floor is a quiet and beautiful maze, with Meditation Room within it.
Man Luo walked ahead, stood in front of a Meditation Room, opened the door, and went inside.
Lin Yan also stepped inside.
"Let me introduce myself," the green-skinned old man said with a smile. "I am Man Luo, the Minister of Commerce of the 'Black Dragon Mountain Branch' of the Virtual Universe Company, located in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. You can call me Mr. Man Luo."
"Mr. Man Luo, my name is Lin Yan."
Lin Yan and said.
Man Luo's eyes were as deep as the sea. "Lin Yan, I have been following you for a month and have watched all your battle videos. I have to say, in all my years in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain, you are the most dazzling genius I have ever seen."
"Even in the Ganwu Universe Country, it is difficult to see such comprehension and talent."
What does it mean to stand out from the crowd?
That's about it.
After returning to Earth, Lin Yan focused on cultivating secret techniques and comprehending the laws of nature, occasionally venturing into the Slaughter Arena to test some of his ideas.
While Luo Feng and his group would sometimes play in the Decisive Battle Space and challenge other elites from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Lin Yan had never even touched it.
There's really nothing challenging about it.
Hong and his team have achieved nearly a thousand consecutive victories, Domain Seven Layers, and have made considerable progress in understanding the Light Origin Law. It's too difficult to find a worthy opponent in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire; it's simply a waste of time.
It's better to set it up yourself in the Slaughter Space.
Man Luo continued, "Moreover, you opened an account in the Virtual Universe less than two months ago, which means you must have been born on some native planet and had no prior contact with the Virtual Universe. You may have only received good mentorship but no one to teach you."
"At first, his control over telekinetic weapons was rather rough, but his comprehension was excellent, and he was able to make adjustments quickly. In a short time, even I couldn't find anything wrong with it. Such talent is truly amazing."
He exclaimed in amazement, "The Consciousness Strength is ridiculously strong, reaching the third Stellar level, with Consciousness Amplitude of 46. Even the Ganwu Secret Realm, where geniuses from the Ganwu Universe Country gather, has never heard of such a thing!"
He was Immortal God, and Lin Yan's progress was naturally as clear as the lines on the palm of his hand.
If Lin Yan had already reached the pinnacle of skill in all aspects when he first entered the Slaughter Arena, he wouldn't be so surprised. After all, the universe is vast and boundless, and it's inevitable that some powerful figure will go into seclusion and then cultivate an unparalleled genius.
Such examples are quite common.
However, judging from Lin Yan's initial recordings, he had a solid foundation, but his skills were purely developed through his own efforts and were not particularly outstanding. If Lin Yan had challenged the Ice Star Fierce Beast a month earlier, he would have easily died on the spot.
But now he seems to be handling it with ease.
Man Luo witnessed all of this progress and understood what it meant... This was self-taught!
Such talent, such comprehension, such brilliance cannot be ignored.
That's why he decided to personally contact Lin Yan and recruit him.
Lin Yan appeared very modest. "Mr. Man Luo, you flatter me."
Man Luo smiled and said, "My Virtual Universe Company is recruiting geniuses and elites in many Universe Country, and you are the strongest genius I have ever seen in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. I wonder if you would be willing to join the Black Dragon Mountain Branch?"
"If you're willing to join, I can arrange for you to receive a 'Domain Lord level Bloodline Potion' for free. You may not know the value of this Bloodline Potion; it's worth dozens of star systems! You can reach the Domain Lord level as soon as you come of age, making it extremely precious."
"With the help of this Bloodline Potion, you can go much further."
Man Luo appeared confident.
The offer for this recruitment is quite substantial, making it very difficult to refuse.
Lin Yan was stunned. Reaching the level of a Domain Lord upon adulthood? That's too powerful! But... if I use it, will it be equivalent to regressing from a human to an ape?
Probably not... It will probably be directly engulfed by its own cells.
Lin Yan looked at the green-skinned old man and asked, "Mr. Man Luo, how will the company arrange things for you after you join the Black Dragon Mountain Branch?"
Man Luo slowly said, "You are only at the third Stellar level right now, and your strength is weak. The company will train you. The initial management will be quite strict. You will need to obey company orders, train, and undergo life-or-death tests, etc. However, this will be of great benefit to you."
"Moreover, in a few years, there will be a new round of the Peak Genius Battle, which will be jointly organized by our Virtual Universe Company and the 1008 Universe Nations. With your talent and the training from the Black Dragon Mountain Branch, you have a great chance of entering the top 1,000 and joining the core of the company headquarters."
Man Luo smiled.
If your branch can cultivate a genius who can join the core of the company headquarters, you will have a high chance of being rewarded.
Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Man Luo, but I'm afraid I cannot accept it."
"Hmm?" Man Luo a little puzzled.
"I have no objection to joining the Black Dragon Mountain Branch of the Virtual Universe Company," Lin Yan said. "However, I have my own cultivation methods and cannot accept this kind of strict management."
Man Luo sighed inwardly; it was another case of someone who couldn't accept strict management.
This situation is not uncommon. Although Virtual Universe Company has a prestigious reputation, are geniuses afraid of not finding a place to go? Therefore, many choose to refuse because they do not want to be under strict management for a long time.
But--
He was willing to invest a Domain Lord level Bloodline Potion to recruit people, so naturally he didn't want this outcome. The Virtual Universe Company's cultivation of important personnel required strict management and brainwashing processes.
"In that case, I wonder if you'd be interested in becoming External Member?" Man Luo didn't press the issue. "While external members have far fewer advantages than Internal Member, they offer a great deal of freedom."
"Of course, I still recommend that you join the company. It would be a real shame to give up that Domain Lord level Bloodline Potion. Besides, it's only for ten years. After ten years, as long as you perform well in the Genius Battle, you will be able to enter the company headquarters."
If the talent is cultivated within the company, the credit is much greater.
Lin Yan and said, "Mr. Man Luo, I am willing to join the Virtual Universe Company. Please consider me unworthy of this Domain Lord level Bloodline Potion. However, I have other requests, and I hope Mr. Man Luo can grant them."
Even if you join an outside party, you can't go empty-handed; you have to get some benefits.
Man Luo smiled and said, "Please speak freely."
"I hope that I can freely enter and exit the World Lord's World in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain of the Virtual Universe Company," Lin Yan said, his eyes bright. "And I also hope to be able to audit the public lectures within the Virtual Universe Company."
The longest lifespan of World Master is no more than a thousand epochs, so there are quite a few World Lord's World in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain, but most of them are controlled by the five major powers of the universe, and the rest are in the hands of well-known forces such as the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
So much so that the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance even conducts its Universe Trainee Mercenary Assessment in the Thunder World of Canglan Star.
If he doesn't choose to join any of the factions, the only place he's qualified to come into contact with in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain is this Thunder World.
The open courses within the Virtual Universe Company are one of the benefits for its Internal Member. The Ganwu Branch of the Virtual Universe Company regularly arranges for powerful individuals to give lectures on a wide variety of topics. The lowest level of these lecturers is World Master has been recognized by the Origin Law, and even Immortal God often appear.
This was very attractive to Lin Yan.
Seeing that Man Luo hesitated, after all, it was only an external matter and not worth making an exception for him.
Lin Yan had no choice but to add fuel to the fire, "Mr. Man Luo, all my efforts right now are for the Peak Genius Battle. If I can get this kind of help, I am absolutely confident that I can enter the top 100 in the entire universe!"
Um?
Man Luo asked herself honestly, and Lin Yan had indeed shown such potential; this wasn't just empty boasting.
If you make it into the top 100 in the entire universe, you will be qualified to enter the headquarters' "Heaven and Earth Secret Realm," which is vastly different from the lowest-ranking "Doomsday Secret Realm."
It's worth making an exception for him.
Man Luo smiled and said, "I can agree to your conditions."
"Lin Yan, welcome to the Virtual Universe Company as External Member of the Black Dragon Mountain Branch. You will be under my direct jurisdiction for the time being. Of course, my task for you is to rank among the top 100 in the universe in the Genius Battle."
"Don't let me down."
Lin Yan smiled confidently, "I will certainly live up to Mr. Man Luo's high expectations."
