"Fellow Daoist Wen, what exactly did you invite me here for?"
Li Chen descended into the private space of Wen Xun, a Grand Artisan of the Underworld, within the Myriad Heavens Alliance's Virtual Reality, the Materialized Kingdom.
By then, Opened Yang had set aside a dedicated area within the Materialized Kingdom for Grand Artisans from all quarters to establish themselves.
For a virtual world, this required little additional expense. It merely placed a certain load on a dedicated computing core.
The Underworld's Grand Artisans soon accepted this new development, decorating their individual spaces with distinctive ingenuity and strong personal styles.
Grand Artisan Wen Xun's space was a mountain Thatched Hut steeped in the style of an Eastern garden, surrounded by spiritual gardens and medicinal fields.
"Hehe, Grand Artisan Li, you're here. Come take a look. I never imagined the Virtual Reality here could actually simulate the laws of nature, reproducing the growth of all things so lifelike."
"It's just a pity these are merely illusory appearances. Not only do these medicinal herbs lack any real effects, but even the details of their physical properties cannot be examined in depth."
Wen Xun stood before a flourishing medicinal garden like an old farmer.
It was clear that he genuinely loved these things. Even knowing they were false, he still insisted on planting some within Virtual Reality.
It was roughly equivalent to playing a farming game.
Li Chen said, "I can only simulate them based on the information I've collected. Even if they display various similarities to the real things, they're only broad approximations."
For Virtual Reality, copying reality was the best approach. Li Chen could certainly devise all manner of fantastical species, but aside from the time and effort required, there was little point, so he simply left them out.
