Walking along the tree-lined path, Lancelot stretched his slightly sore arms, pondering what Instructor Lande had just said.
The so-called Sword Marrow is a special resource produced by that Demigod stone sword.
It's somewhat similar to a medicine.
However, this is a special Transcendent resource designed specifically for the "Holy Sword Gene Training Method," and consuming it can accelerate the cultivation process.
Lancelot strongly suspected that the "Holy Sword Gene Training Method" and this Demigod stone sword were likely closely related.
Like the Virtual Universe, Sword Marrow also requires credits to redeem, with one drop costing 10 credits.
Just as Nancy said, without credits, you can't get anywhere at the Holy Sword Academy.
"Fortunately, I have a lot of credits, so I don't have to be too strapped for cash," Lancelot thought to himself.
As the top scorer in the Joint Entrance Examination, he received a scholarship of 1,500 credits upon enrollment.
In addition, Lancelot has an additional 600 credits available for redemption this year.
In total, there are 2100 credits.
"Use these 1500 credits first. You still have a year to upgrade your privileges; each higher level will grant you an additional 100 credits."
With these thoughts in mind, Lancelot headed towards the Sea Lake Villa District.
Christine had prepared a sumptuous meal, and Lancelot sat down and began to eat heartily.
The taste is quite good; the robot uses extremely precise ingredient ratios, and its control of the cooking time is impeccable.
Others might say that robots make things without soul, but Lancelot isn't Gourmet and doesn't have that obsessive pursuit of taste. As long as it tastes good, that's enough. Soul Great Void.
After a hearty meal, Lancelot went up to the second floor and found a mechanical pod that looked similar to the one in the southeast corner of the previous classroom.
This is the "Consciousness Connection Cockpit," used to connect with the Virtual Universe.
Other students who want to connect to the Virtual Universe must go to classrooms or other teaching areas, but Lancelot has a consciousness connection pod in his own home.
After lying down in the cabin and settling in, the cabin door slowly closed.
The blue-green energy matrix lit up in turn, and Lancelot felt his head sink, then his whole body felt light, as if he were flying in the clouds. It took him a long time to come to his senses.
Slowly opening his eyes, a magnificent palace came into view, with various creatures moving about inside.
Most of them are humanoid, some are beast-like, and some are even shaped like rocks or trees, which is quite astonishing.
In fact, these are all students or teachers from the Holy Sword Academy. The Virtual Universe can naturally become whatever it wants, and can even simulate real senses.
For example, if you want to experience what it's like to be a dog, you can experience it in Virtual Universe; it's absolutely realistic.
However, it is precisely because it is so realistic that many people easily get lost in this illusory scene, reversing reality and even coming to the absurd conclusion that "reality is illusion."
Of course, this phenomenon rarely occurs in Holy Sword. Firstly, those who can enter Holy Sword are all elites of the Alliance, not to mention their own qualities, the school's supervision is also very strong.
Secondly, we're poor!
If it's 3 credits per hour, how long can a student actually access the service?
Hallucinations?
It seems impossible to even think about it. Every student who enters the Virtual Universe is eager to seize the time to cultivate, keeping their nerves on edge, and they are unlikely to get lost in the illusion.
Standing there, Lancelot surveyed his surroundings. The familiar sights before him reminded him of the "Weave," "Mount Celestia," and "Northern Spirit Spacetime" he had logged into in his previous life.
Compared to these three virtual networks spanning countless planes across the Astral Realm, the Virtual Universe of the Holy Sword Academy is completely outclassed in terms of its structure, stability, and other aspects; there is simply no comparison whatsoever.
But whether it's a person or an organization, everyone has moments of weakness. Given enough time, Lancelot believes that the school's Virtual Universe will become more and more complete.
"Hello, Lancelot, we have detected that you have Level 6 access. Your credit consumption has been reduced by 10%, and you are now consuming 2.7 credits per hour." A line of text that only Lancelot could see appeared on his screen, and a sweet female voice came from his ear.
Lancelot nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Two days ago, Nancy had already explained the basics of the permissions to him.
According to the regulations of the Holy Sword Academy.
There are 30 access levels, with different discounts for different levels.
Level 1-5 access privileges, 9.5% discount.
Level 6-10 access privileges, 10% discount.
Level 11-15 access privileges, 15% off.
Level 16-20 access privileges, 20% discount.
Level 21-25 access privileges, 25% off.
Level 26-29 access privileges, 30% off.
The discount applies to all official regions, and is not limited to the Holy Sword Academy.
Within the military and some large corporations closely linked to the Holy Sword, the discount tiers tied to privileges are also recognized.
Holy Sword Academy is more than just an academy; over the past thousand years, countless geniuses have emerged from here.
Some went into business, some into politics, some became renowned Demigod, and some led the Alliance armies to victory in every battle...
These students together form a huge interest group surrounding the Holy Sword Academy, occupying a pivotal position within the Alliance!
The highest academy is not just a simple educational institution, especially the Holy Sword, which is definitely a violent organization.
After pausing to observe for a moment, Lancelot clenched his fist, feeling the surging power coursing through his body, and couldn't help but smile.
With the help of this Virtual Universe, cultivation will be much easier in the future.
The dangerous secret techniques that could harm oneself, and the three simulations of Ability Energy awakening, can all be performed here. After accumulating enough experience, they can then be carried out in reality. Putting aside everything else, the safety will definitely be greatly increased.
"Perhaps it's because Innovation School Ability Energy are so life-threatening that the school went to such lengths to create such a miniature Virtual Universe to reduce the mortality rate?" Lancelot pondered to himself. He felt that this guess, even if not the main reason, was definitely a major factor.
"I need a private space for cultivation," Lancelot said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene in front of him distorted, and the next moment, he appeared in a grid about 5 meters long and wide.
"Additional credits are required if you need to expand your space." A line of text appeared.
Lancelot's lips twitched slightly. This really was...
He shook his head and began to practice the postures and movements of the "Holy Sword Gene Training Method".
Without the constraints of danger, Lancelot was far bolder than he had been in the classroom before.
The "Holy Sword Gene Training Method" has a total of 3006 movements?
In the classroom, he was cautious and didn't dare to be reckless, so he only tried five of them.
But now...
With the threat of death gone, Lancelot did a full 44 reps in one go before his body collapsed and he fell to the ground with a thud.
He was quickly revived.
"Hmm? There's a flaw in this movement, let's try again!"
Start from the beginning, after 32 movements.
Lancelot's body broke down again.
"The second time, there were actually 12 fewer movements... Turns out, we overlooked this part: the right arm and shoulder area. Shouldn't the bones here vibrate at 38 frequencies instead of 33? Continue..."
And so, Lancelot became completely immersed in the training of the "Holy Sword Gene Training Method," and before he knew it, five hours had passed.
