The lives of ordinary people in the Dragon Country do not seem to have been greatly affected.
In fact, since the emergence of the Sand House Space, players now make up about 70% of the total population.
The remaining 30% consist of ordinary people who simply enter the Sand House Space every night but never actually dig into any of the dungeons.
They remain in the initial Sand House Space. As long as they don't explore dungeons, they won't become players. It's just that their nighttime sleeping time will be spent in the Sand House Space, while their daytime routine will continue as usual.
Of the 30% of ordinary people in the world, 90% are from Ancient Country.
In other words, 60% of the people in the Ancient Country were ordinary people, not players.
This has resulted in the Ancient Country being essentially no different from what it was before the arrival of the Sand House Space.
It is also the safest and most peaceful country in the world, to date.
The government has also enacted relevant laws and regulations.
On the one hand, a comprehensive registration record is made for all players.
On the one hand, player training schools were opened in all cities.
Furthermore, the conditions for becoming a player are strictly limited; only those who graduate from the training school are allowed to explore dungeons and officially become players.
In the entire world, only Ancient Country have done this, and only Ancient Country are capable of doing it. Other countries, due to their different political systems, simply cannot do this.
This is good; at least Ling Yi is satisfied with the current situation.
No matter what you experience in the Sand House Space, returning to the real world always feels like coming home.
However, seeing two middle-aged men in military uniforms standing at their door ruined Ling Yi and Shan'er's good mood.
Seeing Ling Yi's expression, the two middle-aged men became somewhat nervous.
They were well aware of how terrifying Ling Yi's current strength was. Even though Ling Yi didn't exude any aura, the two of them still felt immense pressure from Ling Yi's slightly indifferent and calm gaze.
"Brother, I'm going to cook now." Ling Shan'er rolled her eyes at the two middle-aged men, annoyed that they were ruining their time together.
Seeing Shan'er enter the room, Ling Yi snapped his the Snap, and the next moment, everything around him began to churn and turn upside down.
It was as if the whole world had flipped ninety degrees, the ground had become walls, and buildings were underfoot.
The Mirror Dimension, Marvel alternate universe, features the signature magic of Kamar-Taj.
The two middle-aged men stared in disbelief at what they were seeing.
"This is my Mirror Dimension!" Ling Yi said.
The two middle-aged men immediately understood that this must be one of Ling Yi's abilities.
"Mr. Ling Yi, first of all, thank you for your help to the country," one of the middle-aged men said after calming down for a moment.
"Mr. Ling Yi's two experts took down the three invading boss-level monsters last night. If it weren't for their intervention, those three bosses would have caused terrible destruction."
Because everyone enters the Sand House Space every night, this gives the invading monsters a huge buffer time.
Despite implementing various defensive measures, such as intelligently controlled defensive weapons and even building a massive wall around the area, the monsters were trapped within this region and unable to escape.
However, these methods only work against ordinary monsters; they are completely useless against bosses.
Many countries have suffered heavy losses due to the massive invasions of monsters at night.
They were referring to the androids arranged by Ling Yi.
"You want to know why my two men aren't allowed to enter the Sand House Space at night, right?" Ling Yi immediately guessed their purpose.
"Yes, Mr. Ling Yi, you should know that this is very important to us."
"They are androids, not real humans, though they are no different from humans." Ling Yi was also surprised that the androids could remain in the real world at night.
It's quite possible that they are artificial beings, or perhaps it's because they were born in their own territory, but whatever the reason, these artificial beings gave Ling Yi a great deal of inspiration.
"You can prepare some items for the Sand House Space. I will determine the strength and number of androids I will trade to you based on the value of these items."
Before they could speak, Ling Yi stated his conditions directly.
The two middle-aged men exchanged a glance, and instead of being disappointed, they were quite excited. As long as they could make a deal, that was their bottom line.
"Well, I don't know..." one of the middle-aged men tentatively began.
"Don't expect anything else. My technology is not for sale." Ling Yi knew what the other person was thinking as soon as they spoke.
"Alright, we were greedy. We'll compile a list of items and give it to you tonight."
After seeing the two off, Ling Yi returned home and smelled the aroma of food.
He casually saw Lü Su out, and the three of them began to eat.
"Brother, what are those two people doing here?" Shan'er asked.
"Official representatives have come to make a deal; they want to buy androids."
"Oh." Shan'er immediately lost interest.
Let's think about how to develop the Base World later. Shan'er is very interested in this right now.
It's like building your own home.
"We have everything we need right now, so we don't feel the need to trade with others," Lü Su said.
"That's true, but it can't be said that other players don't have good items. After all, there are five or six hundred million players in Dragon Country, so it's inevitable that some people will be lucky and win some good items in the lottery."
For example, cards that increase the number of dungeon runs, or Time Adjustment Scroll.
If we can trade with androids, we won't have to spend Ling Yi's points to buy them from the system.
The technology for creating artificial humans is already mature; given enough materials, we can produce as many as we need.
However, this level of capability will definitely be somewhat diminished.
After dinner, we watched TV for a while, and it was almost 8 p. m.
Ling Yi first sent Shan'er and Lü Su into the Base World. As eight o'clock arrived, his figure reappeared in the Sand House Space.
The Sand House Space now seems to have returned to its original state.
It covers an area of several dozen square meters, surrounded by sand walls that emit a pale golden light.
He raised his hand and released the Five Elements Chaos Pearl, which is now the Base World.
In my mind's Perception, a miniature Solar System slowly rotated amidst Chaos.
Centered on the Aether, there are eight planets orbiting around it.
This Solar System is almost identical to the real-world Solar System.
On the third planet, Earth Star, at the very center of the Asian continent, stands a colossal city spanning thousands of miles.
The city walls grew even taller, appearing majestic and imposing when viewed from below.
The silver-white metal structure has absolutely no visible gaps.
At a height of 3,000 meters and a thickness of 600 meters, even Ultraman would probably be dizzy.
At the base of the city wall, there is a city gate every two kilometers.
Both inside and outside the city walls appeared incredibly empty.
Apart from the houses and cultivated land that had already been built, the rest of the land was ordinary ground, all waiting to be developed.
Now, we can freely recruit people from the Base World.
Earth Star is so big, yet it only has a little over 70,000 people.
Because the Base World only follows the rules of the Five Elements, although the entire planet appears to be full of life, it is impossible for native Wisdom life to emerge.
To be precise, no other life forms besides plants could have been born.
However, Ling Yi doesn't need to consider these things for the time being.
There are plenty of people in the instance world, so whether or not native life forms can emerge is not important.
Ling Yi is now considering whether to use the Golden Instance Card he has.
"Mr. Ling Yi, hello, this is our inventory list."
In the video call, the middle-aged man who had previously contacted Ling Yi appeared on screen.
This man is named Cheng Yang. He was assigned by the authorities to specifically handle liaison matters with Ling Yi.
Ling Yi opened the transaction interface that Cheng Yang had sent him and was browsing the contents.
Just as Ling Yi had predicted, there were indeed quite a few good things inside.
"I'll take the Advanced Time Regulation Scroll. One scroll for ten androids with Battle Power of 1 million."
Ling Yi spoke.
"One million Battle Power? Sure." Cheng Yang didn't haggle. One million Battle Power was already terrifying for Blue Star at this stage.
It's important to know that, apart from Ling Yi and Shan'er, the highest Battle Power on the entire Blue Star is only a few thousand, and even with the use of items, it barely exceeds ten thousand, and there are only a handful of them.
Even a few thousand Battle Power are enough to be worth an entire nation. From now on, the Ancient Country will no longer have to worry about other countries eyeing it covetously, and can maintain Ancient Country superior status on Blue Star.
For Ling Yi, these two Advanced Time Regulation Scroll were extremely valuable.
A 1:1,000,000 adjustment ratio is an extremely exaggerated figure.
This means that one hour in the real world is equivalent to more than a hundred years in the instance world.
It can be used in dungeons with a relatively long time span.
"I want all the Intermediate Time Regulation Scroll and Basic Time Regulation Scroll scrolls. One intermediate scroll or ten low-level scrolls can be exchanged for one android with Battle Power of one million."
"This ten-square-meter piece of Innate Xirang can be exchanged for 20 androids with Battle Power of one million."
"These 10 pet eggs can be exchanged for 2 androids."
"I'll take this Krypton Crystal Skull. It can be exchanged for 100 androids."
Ling Yi's voice was calm, but he was incredibly excited inside. He wondered who was so lucky to win this item in the lottery.
This Crystal skull is incredibly valuable. With it, we could mass-produce Superman! Anyone who's seen the Paramecia movies knows this is the genetic codex of the Krypton, Superman's original Gene Bank.
"Mr. Ling Yi, could you tell me what this is?"
Cheng Yang was startled. This Crystal skull, which they had always thought was just an ornament, was actually so "valuable"?
"I'm not sure if it's the item I'm thinking of. I'll tell you once I'm sure." Ling Yi naturally wouldn't tell the other party the truth.
Although Cheng Yang really wanted to keep the Crystal skull, he also knew that even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to figure anything out.
Ling Yi Cheng Yang's words at all. How could someone dare to trade 100 androids without being sure? Who would believe that?
Afterwards, Ling Yi selected a large number of items, and after confirming the transaction, Ling Yi successfully owed the official 450 androids.
"I will deliver the goods tomorrow morning. In the future, you can trade me anything of value, or anything you cannot identify."
