Shen Bing

Biodata

Power Progression

Shen Bing’s in-game cultivation and real-world physical development are separate: reaching True Immortal did not make his real body a True Immortal 591.

Background / History

As a university student, Shen Bing plays the Gate to the Immortal Realm on his phone. Its quests let him visit immortals, earn treasures and extract technological knowledge. He introduces his character as the Mist-Ethereal Adept when delivering an Illusory Rainbow Immortal Crystal to Clairvoyance 3 4 13. An Aperture-Opening Pill subsequently improves his real-world brain and bodily control, leading him to treat the Gate as the foundation of his future 16.

Shen Bing turns discoveries from the Gate into products and research for Phantom Immortal Technology. He studies conventional image processing to understand the Over-the-Horizon Telescope rather than relying solely on knowledge supplied by the system 45 46. As the company grows, he delegates operations to Wang Sheng and increasingly focuses on research, security and long-term industrial capacity 342 452 735.

His ambitions eventually extend beyond commercial success. He aims to explore space, prepare Earth to meet alien civilizations on equal terms and uncover the Gate’s ultimate potential. Even after obtaining Warp Drive Technology, he identifies Earth’s inability to manufacture its components at scale as a major obstacle and invests in Quark-Level Matter Processing Technology to address it 905 1324 1343.

Personality

Shen Bing is opportunistic but generally attentive to costs and limits. He uses quest teleportation to avoid a dangerous return trip, declines a challenge involving the Great Array of Stars when it exceeds his abilities, and bargains over rewards even with powerful immortals 13 236 418. His ability to revive his in-game character also makes him unusually willing to confront threats there, though repeated deaths can still frustrate him 502 946 1091.

He prefers privacy to public attention and often downplays his company’s size 464 492. His decisions are not purely transactional: he pays for Yuan Wei and her ill mother’s dinner without identifying himself, later backs medical charity, and declines lethal retaliation against corporate enemies 141 142 924 959.
