Lessons from Shen Hui

Listening to Shen Hui, Ye Long agreed without a moment's hesitation.

"Forget five million. You could add a few more zeroes and it still wouldn't be a problem!"

Shen Hui's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Ye Long quickly waved his hand and chuckled. "Of course I'm joking."

If they added a few more zeroes, the Ye Family could still afford it.

But that would require approval through several layers of the family.

Shen Hui glanced at Qingxue, who was just as curious, and said, "All right, enough joking. We're friends, so why would I charge you? I'll tell you now."

The two smiled, and Shen Hui got straight to the point.

"Actually, everyone should have their own techniques and insights when it comes to creating their world's heroes."

"When you create heroes in your worlds, you usually base them on the environment and the current state of development in your world, right?"

Qingxue and Ye Long nodded. They had learned this technique at school.

For example, in a world like Qingxue's, where people had supernatural abilities,

the world's development meant that the basic abilities were already in place.

They could then create a powerful person with a special ability: a hero.

It was a common technique.

"But because my world is special, it hasn't developed at all."

The two understood at once and looked at Shen Hui.

"That's right, Brother Shen. Your world hasn't developed at all, yet you went and created a hero!"

Qingxue said, "Creating a hero on your first try isn't impossible, but for Shen Hui to keep creating heroes one after another is extraordinary."

Shen Hui smiled. "So I don't know whether my method will work for you, but I'll tell you anyway."

"My method is to fully flesh out a hero's identity and background when creating them."

"For example, how they became a hero, what happened to them, what they look like, and what abilities they roughly have."

After listening, Qingxue and Ye Long felt as if clouds had parted to reveal the sun.

When they created heroes, they had always based them on their world's current development, so they had never thought that far ahead.

At most, they decided on the hero's appearance and abilities.

But the most important part-their background and how they grew up-was left blank.

Once a world reached its later stages and its rules were fully established,

heroes could be born from the life within the world or created naturally.

Heroes born that way would naturally have complete backgrounds.

But the heroes they created in the early stages were made directly with World Origin Power.

That was the part they were missing!

If they carefully planned things out before creating a hero, wouldn't their chances of success improve?

"Brother Shen, hearing you speak is better than reading books for ten years. I've learned so much!"

Ye Long thanked Shen Hui sincerely.

Qingxue also looked at Shen Hui with excitement and delight, and a hint of unusual affection appeared in her eyes.

"When I get back today, I'll try Shen Hui's method!"

Ye Long looked at Shen Hui and asked again, "Brother Shen, would you mind telling us something?"

"Exactly how many heroes does your world have, and what levels are they?"

"Let's leave out the levels. I have four heroes."

Shen Hui answered, declining to share the more private information.

But when they heard "four," Qingxue and Ye Long were both startled again.

"You... How can you create that many heroes?"

Shen Hui wasn't surprised by their astonishment.

That was because creating anything took up space in the world's origin.

It was like a basin: put a bit of this in, then a bit of that,

and it would fill up.

Only by increasing the world's level could you make the basin bigger.

And heroes took up a lot of space.

For people like Qingxue and Ye Long, the environments and various resources created through their worlds' development,

along with the ordinary creatures they had created, already took up quite a bit of space.

So there was naturally less room for heroes.

Their current limit was to create at most two heroes.

And after creating them, they couldn't create anything else without upgrading their worlds.

That was why they were surprised that Shen Hui had four heroes.

But then Qingxue thought of something and immediately understood.

"Didn't Shen Hui just say? His world hasn't started developing yet.

"There aren't any other resources taking up space, so it's very empty. Naturally, he can create so many heroes."

After hearing that, Ye Long let out a breath of relief.

Otherwise, Shen Hui would have been far too outrageous.

"All right, it'll be noon soon. Let's grab something to eat, then challenge an Unclaimed World this afternoon."

Qingxue and Ye Long nodded.

The three of them ate lunch in the World Association's cafeteria. With intermediate membership, they could get lunch for free.

That made Shen Hui think he might as well move into the World Association.

After all, it had both a lounge and a free cafeteria.

In the afternoon, after eating and resting for a while, the three went to the device used to enter the Borderlands.

Through the device's connection, the three entered the Borderlands.

The boundless starry sky hung overhead.

Countless nameless celestial bodies stretched across the vastness, constantly shifting.

Compared with them, Shen Hui and the other humans were smaller than ants.

Farther away was a dazzling nebula cluster. That was the Starry Sky Battlefield.

Although this was Shen Hui's second time there, he was still deeply shaken by the sight.

Shen Hui also looked forward to the day when he could travel freely through this starry sky.

Shen Hui gathered his thoughts and found Qingxue and Ye Long.

The three walked toward the place where the Unclaimed Worlds were kept.

There were already a lot of people around. Shen Hui also spotted quite a few people from his graduating class.

They had all just graduated.

Shen Hui didn't delay and immediately connected his consciousness.

Earlier, Shen Hui had unlocked the right to challenge Level 1-3 worlds.

After his Association rank rose to intermediate, Shen Hui had unlocked Level 1-5 Unclaimed Worlds.

But considering his current strength, Shen Hui thought it safer to choose a world that matched his own world's level.

So this time, Shen Hui chose to challenge a Level 2 Unclaimed World.

[Choose a Level 2 world to challenge]

[1000000 World Coins will be deducted. You will be randomly matched with a Level 2 world]

[Begin challenge?]

Shen Hui looked at the fee for challenging a Level 2 world. Compared with a Level 1 world, it had skyrocketed.

And Association members didn't get a discount.

But if he won the challenge, he would surely gain much richer rewards from a Level 2 world.

Fortunately, Shen Hui still had more than one million World Coins, which was enough.

So Shen Hui began the challenge without hesitation.

"Begin!"

[World Origin Power is beginning to merge. The two worlds are starting to overlap and fuse...]

Shen Hui's world began to merge and intertwine with another, unfamiliar world.
