Settling Down

Virtual Universe, Gorol Star, Ninth Main City, inside a building by the roadside.

"Sir, the total is three hundred Credit Points!"

"Alright, you take credit cards, right?"

"Yes!"

"Mm!"

Su Li handed over the credit card he had just obtained, then examined the pointy-headed robot busy before him.

Its movements flowed like water, without the slightest delay. If not for its metal shell, no one would have thought it was merely a robot.

Compared to the patrol robots outside, this cashier robot seemed far more advanced!

Su Li silently thought.

"Sir, your credit card!" While Su Li was thinking, the robot handed his credit card back to him.

"Oh, thanks!"

Taking the card, Su Li walked out of the general store named "Suixin," carrying a small oven-like object in his arms.

A moment later, Su Li rode a floating metal disc into a nearby floating apartment.

Afterward, Su Li set down the oven and looked over the results of his work over the past few hours—

A small house, an oven-like device, a gray-black One-handed Sword, and a bracelet.

After obtaining his citizen status, Su Li had been lost for a while before using the three thousand Credit Points he had received to buy these things.

No, to be precise, he had applied for the house using his citizen status. This lowest-tier public housing was completely free on Gorol.

As for the rest, the oven and the One-handed Sword were both preparations Su Li had made for the Primal Star hunt three days later.

Items in the Virtual Universe could be transferred between places. Su Li only needed to take them out of Gorol Star and then bring them into Primal Star.

As for the bracelet, it looked like an ordinary bracelet on the surface, but it was actually a terminal!

With it, he could "go online"!

That's right. Put simply, this thing functioned much like a phone in the Real Universe, only it was more compact!

Credit Points were Gorol's universal currency, and they had considerable purchasing power!

At first, Su Li had planned to use these Credit Points to buy energy-containing items and increase his

level progress, but after thinking it over carefully, Su Li gave up on the idea.

After all, he currently lacked Resource Points. Even if he increased his rank progress in the Virtual Universe, he could not take it out with him, so it held little meaning in the short term.

Besides, sharpening the blade did not delay the cutting of firewood. After careful consideration, Su Li decided to use these Credit Points to make preparations for the future.

Primal Star was the place Su Li planned to grind levels, so naturally, it was the first thing he considered.

Compared to beasts, humanity's advantage lay in its ability to use tools.

Thus, Su Li first bought a One-handed Sword, worth one thousand Credit Points.

Such a high price naturally had its reasons. Su Li had no idea what material the One-handed Sword was made of, but not only could it withstand his full-force swings, it was also incredibly sharp. In Su Li's estimation, ordinary steel on Earth would probably be no different from noodles before it.

Of course, it was not that Su Li did not want to buy a more advanced weapon. He simply lacked the means!

The store where Su Li bought the One-handed Sword also sold an energy weapon whose price was acceptable, but when Su Li tried to buy it, he was told that his clearance was insufficient.

To purchase that energy weapon, one needed citizen clearance level two or above, while Su Li only had level-three clearance.

Still, there was nothing to regret. Su Li was very satisfied with his One-handed Sword anyway.

As for that oven-like device—it was actually called a "Speedy Food Processor." Charge it for an hour, and it could work for an entire day.

Ahem, the Speedy Food Processor could rapidly process raw ingredients placed inside it into edible food.

Since he did not want to eat raw food, and his grilling skills were too terrible, while grilling also wasted quite a bit of time, Su Li bought this Speedy Food Processor.

With it, as long as Su Li caught prey on Primal Star, he could eat to his heart's content!

"Everything is ready except the east wind!"

Su Li picked up the One-handed Sword and swung it a few times, anticipation appearing on his face.

Three days from now, Primal Star would be the place where he soared!

A moment later—

Dozens of floating virtual screens appeared before Su Li. He casually chose one and began reading its contents.

This was one of the functions of the "bracelet" terminal. With nothing much to do for the moment, Su Li decided to browse the internet for a while. More precisely, he planned to use it to systematically learn about the Gorol Civilization.

Previously, because the language barrier remained and he had little clearance, his understanding of the Gorol Civilization had been quite shallow. Now that he had the opportunity, Su Li naturally intended to learn about it in detail.

Real Universe, Donghai University, dormitory building 414!

Exactly eight o'clock at night.

Su Li opened his eyes, and all he saw was darkness.

There was no one in the dormitory, which struck Su Li as strange.

However, after only a moment, Su Li stopped thinking about it. There was nothing strange about an empty dormitory; they just happened to all have something to do.

He opened the Shop and began browsing through it.

A moment later, Su Li found what he wanted.

One-handed Sword—2 Resource Points

Speedy Food Processor—1 Resource Point

Terminal Bracelet—2 Resource Points

Seeing the three products appear in the Shop, Su Li once again confirmed his guess. As long as he possessed something in the Virtual Universe, he could materialize it in reality by spending Resource Points.

After hesitating for a while, Su Li ultimately bought nothing.

It was not because he lacked Resource Points. Su Li still had two Resource Points left, enough to buy any one of them!

The reason Su Li did not buy anything was that he had no use for them.

In reality, he could not take the One-handed Sword outside, or he would be hauled into the station in minutes.

The technology behind the Speedy Food Processor and Terminal Bracelet was far too advanced. It was not yet time for them to appear in reality. If something went wrong, he would be in trouble!

Since no one was in the dormitory, after exiting the Virtual Universe, Su Li played games alone for a while and enjoyed the feeling of stomping noobs before preparing to sleep.

Although it looked to others as if he had been sleeping almost constantly these past two days, in reality, he had not closed his eyes for two whole days.

Even though Su Li was now a superpowered individual, he had not reached the point where he could completely go without rest.

"Ha!"

After yawning, Su Li lay down and soon fell into a deep sleep.
