Night fell.
"Judging by the timing of my circulation cycle, a day here is actually around twelve two-hour periods?" Wang Qi muttered to himself. "That's wrong. Very wrong."
Not just any life-form born on any random planet could grow accustomed to a biological clock with a twelve-shichen cycle.
But if everyone followed their own rhythms, entirely different problems would arise.
If sleeping meant "logging off," then one would find quite a few people nearby sleeping at times when they should not be asleep.
The order of society would change as well.
Yet there was no sign of that here.
Could it be that all the players on one map belonged to the same species and shared the same biological clock?
But that did not hold up either. Players from different maps could not possibly have no contact at all.
If a player walked from one map into another and found that the clock was off, that would be quite the spectacle.
Wang Qi frowned and looked at himself.
"Could it be that my 'sense of rhythm' and 'sense of time' are both fake now?"
"Or have those people's senses of rhythm all been ruined and replaced by a virtual rhythm?"
—More information was needed.
He thought.
In the end, he knew far too little about this world.
He needed more information.
Still, amid that string of earlier misunderstandings, he had finally learned a few things.

Levels one through three were Qi Refinement, levels four through six were Foundation Establishment, and levels seven through nine were roughly equivalent to Core Formation.
Levels ten through nineteen corresponded to what was commonly
