404. Instruction

"Help... and gifts?"

Luo Fei asked in a murmur.

"Yes... Don't you want to know the secrets of that world? And... you forgot what I reminded you before? Not participating in the hunt for the Dragon of Destruction might be a good thing."

Sulu said, "Let me tell you the truth about the Player ' deaths first..."

Inside the dormitory.

Luo Fei's face was pale as he stared at the news that appeared in the search results:

"Nineteen-year-old youth dies suddenly while playing video games!"

"Vegetative state is highly prevalent!"

"Shocking! What turned dozens of Player into vegetable states overnight?"

"You see? Player die too many times, their will in the real world dissipates, and they become a vegetable..."

"And in your world, there is clearly a force downplaying the news and impact of this..."

Sulu's voice continued to come.

"Why? This is murder!" Cold sweat beaded on Luo Fei's forehead.

"Of course it's because of profit! Huge profits can make people lose all reason and even trample on the law." Sulu replied, "Kid, you're still too green. What you're seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Grandpa, please help me." Luo Fei clenched his fist. "I want to find out the truth about all of this!"

"If this is your request..." Within the Mind Secret Realm, a smile appeared on Sulu's lips.

Even if one cannot directly travel to the Material World, it is extremely simple to exert influence by having an avatar stationed in the other party's Mind Secret Realm.

Especially when dealing with an ordinary person.

Luo Fei couldn't even discern whether his own will was truly 'voluntary' or 'forced'.

"So, grandpa, where shall we begin?"

Luo Fei asked impatiently.

"You don't want to start anywhere? Do you want to die? To the major powers, you're just a tiny ant... no, not even an ant, let alone the mastermind behind everything!"

Sulu rebuked him without hesitation. "Right now you have neither money nor power, not even any strength. How are you going to investigate?"

Luo Fei patted his forehead. "That seems to be true... So what should I do?"

"The first step, of course, is to give you control over the power."

Sulu's laughter carried a hint of seduction. "Do you know why this 'game' is so addictive?"

"Because it's 100% realistic... Of course, according to you, Grandpa, that's actually another world!" Luo Fei gave his answer.

"Wrong! Utterly wrong!" A voice echoed in his mind, and Luo Fei felt as if he had been struck hard on the head. "This alone isn't enough to attract so many geniuses and powerful forces, because a material channel cannot be established between the two sides... Its real advantage lies in its ability to bring the extraordinary power it possesses into reality."

"What?"

Luo Fei's pupils widened. "I... I think I've seen similar posts before, but I thought they were jokes!"

His little heart was pounding uncontrollably.

The Surface World is, after all, a technologically advanced world, and the physical abilities of the Guni people are all roughly the same. However, many works of art contain similar fantasies about 'superheroes'.

"That's not a lie... Of course, bringing game skills into reality is very difficult. In your world, perhaps only a few 'pro gamers' can do that..."

Sulu said, "But I will help you... First, you need to learn the technique of digesting Crystal Core yourself."

"Digest it yourself... Crystal Core?" Luo Fei felt even more surprised than when he first encountered the Main God Game: "Isn't that kind of thing only absorbable in Class Agency?"

Snap!

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt another sharp pain in his head, "Idiot... It's all energy, how can there be a limit to its conversion? As for that agency... Heh... If you want to master extraordinary abilities in the real world, the first thing you have to do is quit there."

While Class Agency are convenient, they also leave behind too many hidden pitfalls and restrictions.

Most importantly, there's definitely a 'commission' involved!

Each time Player advances in rank or takes a new job, it 'charges' the mastermind behind the scenes and that Curio.

Sulu certainly wouldn't stand idly by and watch this happen.

After all, the power of that Curio is somewhat bizarre. If it were to acquire a massive amount of energy, perhaps even an ordinary person holding it could seal away a legend!

We absolutely cannot give it the chance to continue growing!

"Absorb Crystal Core and learn skills on your own?" Luo Fei felt as if a whole new world had opened before him. "How do I do this?"

"First, there's the technique for absorbing Crystal Core, which I've named ' Crystal Core Refinement Technique '... It's a set of techniques that combine meditation, hand gestures, rituals, and so on... First, go find a power source."

Sulu's voice was laced with laughter. "I have a quick way to learn this. As long as you combine it with electric shocks, I guarantee you'll master it within a day!"

"Electric... electric shock?"

Luo Fei felt it was necessary to go to the hospital again; he might really be going crazy and even have suicidal tendencies.

"You idiot... would I lie to you?"

The old man's furious voice rang out, and Luo Fei seemed to see the figure of an old man with white beard and hair, roaring and yelling at him.

"Okay... alright, I'll give it a try."

He answered in a very low voice.

The next moment.

"Ah... Ahh!!"

Various screams echoed continuously in the small apartment; if it weren't for the excellent soundproofing, it would have almost attracted complaints.

The Inner World, the Main City.

With a flash of light, Luo Fei's figure appeared. "Grandpa, are you still there?"

"I am here."

Sulu resides in his Mind Secret Realm, where he can directly converse with the game character. "If you need to find me in the future, just speak to me in your mind."

"Good!"

Luo Fei clenched his fist excitedly. "I've mastered the ' Crystal Core Refinement Technique ' and am a first-tier ' Warrior,' but I'm out of energy cores..."

"It's okay, I can find it."

Sulu immediately told him, "There's a bag of Crystal Core buried underground outside the city at coordinates XXX, XXX. There's a third-tier one inside. Go and retrieve it."

"Um?"

Luo Fei was skeptical, but he immediately went to the place the man had indicated and dug up a bag of Crystal Core. His eyes widened in surprise. "Grandpa, did you bury this?"

Bang!

He felt like he'd been punched in the head again. "Of course not... This is just a small treasure I observed. There are many more like it in this world..."

In reality, this was part of the money Sulu received for selling himself into servitude, but of course he would never admit it.

After obtaining the physical item, Luo Fei's trust in Sulu increased significantly.

After all, this bag of wealth far exceeds his original net worth.

"Alright, now that we have everything, let's get started on our workout."

Sulu's urging voice came through.

"Oh well."

Luo Fei quickly assumed a posture with his palms facing upwards, holding a first-tier Crystal Core in his hand. He began to breathe deeply, using his mind to connect with the Crystal Core...
