Poor, So Poor
Soon, twenty simple, basic helmets were packed by Maid, placed in a special Storage Bag, and handed to Su Ye.
After the Cat Demon Maid respectfully explained the activation method and precautions, and left the merchant's communication mark, she smiled and saw them off from the exhibition hall.
After leaving the Myriad Worlds Trading Company, the Desperate Old Man led his group to a well-regarded restaurant on the main street of the Azure Mansion, where they booked a private room with a panoramic view.
The private room floated into the air, with a view overlooking the bustling street scene of the entire Azure Mansion. On the table were special Spirit Fruit and refreshing Divine Brew from the Divine Realm, their fragrance spreading gently.
Everyone sat in a circle, their eyes all fixed on the twenty virtual reality helmets in the Storage Bag.
Xia Zhiqiu reached out and picked up a helmet, examining it closely from all angles.
The helmet is entirely matte black with a smooth texture. It looks ordinary and doesn't have the dazzling, high-end look that I had imagined. At first glance, it's not much different from an ordinary e-sports helmet on Blue Star.
"This is the Virtual Divine Realm Helmet? It doesn't even have any cool special effects. How can this thing connect to the Virtual Divine Realm?"
Xia Zhiqiu tapped the helmet shell with her fingertips, her face full of curiosity, and turned to look at the Desperate Old Man.
"Senior, how exactly do you use this thing? What's it like inside the Virtual Divine Realm?"
Zhang Xuan also picked one up, stroking the intricate Divine Runes on the helmet's surface with great curiosity.
Su Ye didn't rush to Research the helmet. With a thought, he directly activated the Space Altar.
Silver ripples of Space Law quietly spread beneath the table, and Space Passage opened silently. He then sent the helmets of ten anonymous accounts through the Space Passage.
At the other end of the passage was Su Taibai's stronghold.
This is also the core reason why Su Taibai did not come to the Azure Mansion with them; she stayed behind to receive supplies.
Once Su Taibai receives these helmets, he can distribute them to Xiao Qingtian and the others.
This long-distance Spatial Teleportation, when seen by the Desperate Old Man, caused a flash of surprise in his eyes.
In the Divine Realm, there are many powerful beings who are Mastery in the Space Law, but most of them are big shots at the level of God King or God Lord.
Su Ye is only at the Middle God realm, yet he can stably build long-distance Space Passage and teleport physical objects across regions. His understanding and control of the Space Law far surpasses that of Prodigy of the same level, and even many High God may not be able to do so with such ease and without showing the slightest fluctuation.
"Young Master Su Ye's foundation in the Law is truly extraordinary."
The Desperate Old Man sighed inwardly, thinking that the disciple taken in by the Po Jun God King was indeed a rough gem, hiding too many surprises.
After Su Ye retrieved the Space Altar, the Desperate Old Man aspirations smiled and began instructing everyone on how to put on their helmets.
"It's very simple. Gently touch the Divine Runes inside the helmet with your Divine Soul imprint, and once bound, you can access the Virtual Divine Realm with a single thought. Put it on, and log in with me. I'll show you around."
The group did as instructed and put on their helmets.
The helmet fit snugly against my head, and a gentle warmth seeped into my Divine Soul from between my brows, without the slightest sting. A soft System Prompt Sound sounded in my ear, like the gentle tinkling of flowing water.
The next moment, the world spun around.
The light and shadow before my eyes recombine wildly, and the scene of the surrounding restaurants vanishes in an instant, replaced by a vast and boundless ancient city.
Looking up, the city walls soared into the clouds, built from billions of divine rocks. The walls were covered with ancient and mottled Divine Runes, and beams of light of Law shot into the sky, connecting with the boundless void above.
The city was ridiculously vast, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, with streets leading in all directions. Countless beings from all races walked through it, including divine cultivators, Exotic Beast, and mechanical life forms. The sounds of hawking, fighting, and trading rose and fell, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Su Ye glanced around, a slight thought stirring in his heart.
The overall layout and building style of this virtual city are remarkably similar to the real-world Azure Mansion.
No wonder the Desperate Old Man said that accessing the login point of the Azure Mansion would default to descending into a virtual version of the Azure Mansion.
He turned to look at his companions beside him; Xia Zhiqiu, Xiao Qiyue, and Zhang Xuan were all standing together.
Its appearance, clothing, and scent are exactly the same as in reality, without any distortion or misrepresentation.
The Desperate Old Man stood calmly beside the crowd.
"Don't be surprised."
The voice of the Desperate Old Man rang in everyone's ears. He raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air, and a semi-transparent light blue panel appeared out of thin air, hovering in front of everyone.
"This is your personal panel in the Virtual Divine Realm, which includes your initial ID number, your identity code in the Virtual Divine Realm."
Su Ye looked at his panel, which listed his ID, Divine Soul synchronization level, online time, as well as a communication module and a search assistant entry.
"The panel comes with a virtual assistant; you can get answers to most common questions, Rule, and shop information simply by asking the assistant."
The Desperate Old Man continued his explanation, his tone neither hurried nor slow.
"Your real-name accounts are linked to First Bank accounts. This means that within the Virtual Divine Realm, you can directly shop, order materials, and purchase Cultivation Method deduction services, with payments deducted directly from your bank account; you can also cultivate here. The Law -simulated environment of the Virtual Divine Realm is very suitable for comprehending techniques and deducing Secret Technique, without fear of making mistakes in real-world cultivation that could backfire on you."
At this point, the Desperate Old Man, then revealed his most shocking advantage.
"Furthermore, in the real world, distance equals time; traveling across Divine Domain can easily take tens of thousands of years. But in the Virtual Divine Realm, as long as there's an anchor point, you can reach other major cities billions of miles away in an instant. Cross-realm communication and remote meetings all rely on it."
Xia Zhiqiu stared wide-eyed at the communication function on the panel, extremely excited.
"Holy crap, this is insane! Isn't this just Divine Realm version of the holographic internet, complete with a cultivation simulator and remote teleportation capabilities?!"
The group, in high spirits, strolled along the long street of the virtual Azure Mansion.
The shops lining both sides of the street were dazzling, selling Divine Material, Pills, weapons, Cultivation Method, Secret Realm information, and even virtual fighting arenas and Law deduction halls. The variety was overwhelming.
Many rare resources that are hard to find in reality are available for sale in the virtual marketplace, where Prodigy from various races set up stalls to trade. The flow of information here far surpasses that in reality.
Once the initial excitement wore off, the enthusiasm on everyone's faces gradually cooled.
Simply put, it's too expensive.
A quick glance at the shop prices reveals that even a simple divine fruit that aids in comprehending the Law costs tens of Silver Moon Coin.
A single advanced move simulation costs at least a hundred Silver Moon Coin.
The high-level battle rooms in the virtual arena are charged per minute.
Su Ye touched the account balance on the panel; he only had a little over one hundred Silver Moon Coin left. Looking at all the good stuff on the street, he could only look but dared not make a move.
Xia Zhiqiu was even more heartbroken. He only had a few hundred Star Coin in his account. After browsing around, he couldn't afford to buy anything and was just a tourist.
"Good heavens, we see treasures everywhere, but we're all broke."
Xia Zhiqiu's face fell, and she couldn't help but complain.
"I thought I could take off as soon as I got the helmet, but after entering the Virtual Divine Realm, I realized that you can't move an inch without money. This place is Gold-Devouring Beast."
The Desperate Old Man, smiled faintly and shook his head.
"The divine realms of the Human Race and Demon Race Divine Domain you originated from are located in remote areas, on the edge of the Divine Realm. The Divine Crystal produced there are of low purity, making them inferior quality. When you bring them to the Azure Mansion for recycling, the price is heavily discounted, so naturally you can't accumulate much wealth. The resources of the peripheral Divine Domain are scarce, making it far more difficult to save money than in the core areas."
One sentence enlightened everyone.
It turns out that it wasn't that they weren't good enough, but that the "currency" of their hometown was worthless. The level of competition and the amount of resources were simply not on the same level as a core prefecture like Azure Mansion.
They looked at each other, and the same thought came to mind.
We need to make money.
But how can I make money?
They were unfamiliar with the area and had no way to make money.
Su Ye's mind raced, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He turned to look at the Desperate Old Man beside him and asked.
"Brother Jue Ming, you said before that my master Po Jun God King, opened a special account for me at the First Bank a long time ago. How can I withdraw and use the money in that account?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the private room fell silent.
Xia Zhiqiu's ears perked up instantly, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Ye.
The ultimate cheat code for thighs is finally about to be released.
