Virtual Universe

Parallel Universe.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

"..."

"That's all for today's class!"

As the hour, minute, and second hands on the clock on the wall all pointed to the Arabic numeral 10, the calculus teacher on the podium instantly dropped the chalk in his hand, then grabbed two textbooks and hurried out of the classroom.

The calculus teacher's sudden departure didn't affect the calculus class, which was supposed to end anyway. The students left behind seemed accustomed to it. Some packed their belongings to leave, while others continued to study, their heads bent over their desks, staring intently at the not-so-large calculus textbook.

"Old Zhao must be working on something big lately, always rushing around!"

In the last row of the classroom, a young man with a bowl cut said with certainty to Su Li beside him.

"Mm, probably. Class is over, it's normal!"

Giving a perfunctory reply, Su Li quickly packed his things, then stood up, preparing to leave.

"Hey, man, aren't you going back to sleep again?" The bowl-cut youth asked, somewhat surprised by Su Li's hurried movements.

"Yeah, I'm going back to rest a bit!" Su Li nodded without hesitation.

"..."

Su Li's words caused the bowl-cut youth to fall into a brief silence. After a moment, he said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but you've been sleeping quite a bit lately!"

"I'm just a little tired!"

Waving his hand, Su Li asked as he walked out, "Are you going back?"

"No, I'm going to attend a public class with Yaoyao next period."

As the bowl-cut youth said this, the corner of his mouth curved into an almost imperceptible arc. After all, Su Li was just a single dog. He always felt a subtle sense of superiority when saying this!

"Alright then, I'm leaving first."

Seeing the bowl-cut youth refuse, Su Li waved his hand, then walked out of the classroom through the back door without looking back. As for the superiority the bowl-cut youth felt, he didn't notice it at all.

A moment later, the bowl-cut youth looked at Su Li's retreating back, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. After all, just going back to sleep, was there any need to be in such a hurry?

Su Li didn't care what the bowl-cut youth thought; he had more important things to do.

After leaving the classroom, Su Li went straight to the dormitory and, twenty minutes later, got into bed fully clothed, ready to sleep.

Well, it wasn't actually sleeping. Su Li was actually concentrating, preparing to enter a peculiar place.

After a moment, Su Li felt a blur before his eyes. When he regained his senses, he found himself in a dim starry sky.

This starry sky contained countless stars, but apart from the two stars closest to Su Li, all the others were dim and lifeless, silent as if they had lost their vitality.

This starry sky was Su Li's secret, or more accurately, a secret he had discovered three days ago.

Three days ago, Su Li suddenly discovered that when he concentrated, his consciousness would arrive in this starry sky.

At first, Su Li thought he was dreaming, but when a light blue screen with his personal information appeared before him, he immediately understood that this thing was definitely not a dream!

Name: Su Li

Location: Virtual Universe

Rank: None

Talent: None

Shop: Not Open

Resource Points: 1

PS: Population, land, wealth, everything you own can be converted into resource points.

This was the information on the blue screen that had appeared three days ago. Although the content wasn't complicated, Su Li knew that human dreams couldn't create something this orderly and systematic.

Upon realizing this was his opportunity, Su Li first felt delighted, excited, and even fearful for a while. After that, he began to study this starry sky called the "Virtual Universe."

This starry sky was just an empty space, nothing else!

The key was the two stars that still emitted light. After Su Li's investigation over the past few days, he learned that one was named Primal Star, and the other was Gorol Star.

Su Li was unclear about the situation within Primal Star. Although he had entered Primal Star first three days ago, before he could get a clear look at the situation, he was taken away by a small snake that emitted bright yellow light all over its body. Fortunately, after dying in Primal Star, Su Li didn't actually die; he was just unable to enter Primal Star again for a period of time.

According to Su Li's thoughts, that snake must have been an extremely venomous viper, otherwise, how could a living person like him be so easily defeated by a small snake?

The appearance of that venomous snake also indicated the danger of Primal Star.

In contrast to Primal Star, Gorol Star was much better because there was a highly advanced civilization on Gorol Star, and that civilization did not reject him.

Su Li had spent most of his time on Gorol Star during these three days.

There, Su Li was an undocumented resident. While he couldn't enjoy certain social benefits, he wouldn't be harmed either. At the very least, no random venomous snake would suddenly pop out and kill him.

"Enter!"

Staring at Gorol Star, Su Li silently recited the command. A moment later, his figure vanished from the starry sky.

Gorol Star, Ninth Main City, Senke District.

Su Li's figure suddenly appeared beneath a floating building.

Swish!

The instant Su Li appeared, five or six metallic spheres, about the size of a head and flying in the air, rapidly converged on him from all directions.

Su Li stood calmly in place, making no move as he watched the spheres.

If it were the first time Su Li had appeared here, he would have panicked for a while. But now, he had managed to get by here for a few days. He knew the most common patrol robots on Gorol Star.

Moreover, these robots didn't have high intelligence and wouldn't be interested in his sudden appearance. As long as they confirmed he was harmless, everything would be fine!

"Beep, unknown name, race confirmed, preliminary judgment as a new immigrant, alarm cleared!" As expected, after circling Su Li a few times, the robots quickly dispersed.

Of course, Su Li didn't understand a single word the robots said. Three days were far from enough for him to master a completely unfamiliar language.

"I have a professional class this afternoon, meaning I have about four hours. I'll spend an hour shopping, then head to the library to study the local writing and language." After setting his plan, Su Li turned and left.

In Su Li's eyes, the Gorol civilization was an unimaginably vast treasure trove. If he could gain even a little benefit from it, it would be enough for him to make a name for himself on Earth!

And to excavate this treasure trove, the first thing he had to do was learn their writing system, otherwise, everything else would be in vain!

There was one thing Su Li agreed with: the more developed a civilization, the more miserable the illiterate would be. He didn't want to be illiterate; he had to at least recognize their writing, right?

Actually, at first, Su Li had planned to stay here and study all day. But his instinct for low-key living told him it was better to appear normal.

After all, for a university student from a top university to suddenly abandon his studies, it wouldn't seem normal at all!

The secret of this Virtual Universe wouldn't be easily discovered, but dealing with other matters would be troublesome. Therefore, Su Li decided to maintain his original pace of life. If he just slept a little more, no one would probably care, right?
