Liu Yi exited the system, deactivated the Five Elements Defense Formation, pushed open the door and walked out of the room, his Divine Sense spreading out like a tide.

At a glance, one could see Little Yellow sprawled on the rocking chair, his Divine Sense clearly already in the Virtual World.

He walked straight over, lay down on the rocking chair next to him, took out a spirit fruit, and slowly began to eat it.

He didn't disturb it, intending to wait until it exited the Virtual World and then hear its feedback.

Time flows by quietly, and a day passes in the blink of an eye.

Little Yellow remained immersed in the Virtual World, showing no sign of coming out.

Liu Yi's face immediately darkened; this guy was clearly already addicted and unable to extricate himself.

This indirectly confirms the success of the Virtual World, but it also exposes a fatal flaw:

It's so easy to become addicted to it, completely forgetting the existence of reality.

He pondered for a moment, then made up his mind.

A new rule must be added to the Virtual World: those under the age of ten are strictly prohibited from entering;

Children aged 10 to 18 are limited to one hour of access per day;

Even adults aged 18 and over are not allowed to stay for more than four hours each day.

Only in this way can we prevent the system host from neglecting real-world cultivation due to addiction to the Virtual World.

Moreover, this approach kills two birds with one stone: it curbs the risk of addiction and also causes the system host to consume Energy Points every time they enter the system.

In this way, I can earn more Energy Points and reserve enough Energy Points for the next system version update.

With that thought in mind, Liu Yi raised his hand and slapped Little Yellow on the back of the head, coldly shouting:

"Little Yellow, get out of the Virtual World right now!"

"Awoo!"

Little Yellow cried out in pain, his Divine Sense abruptly pulling away from the Virtual World. He clutched his head and bounced around on the spot.

Upon recognizing the figure beside it, it quickly composed itself and awkwardly asked, "Master, when did you emerge from seclusion?"

Liu Yi's lips curled into a cold smile, "I've been out of seclusion for a whole day, and I've been waiting for you in this rocking chair all day."

I didn't expect you to stay in the Virtual World for a whole day. If I hadn't woken you up, you probably would have been completely absorbed in it.

Little Yellow quickly smiled ingratiatingly and explained with a fawning expression, "Master, I didn't mean to!"

Your newly developed Virtual World is truly amazing; it's exactly like reality.

The unheard-of ferocious beasts, divine creatures, sacred mountains, and wondrous peaks were truly eye-opening, so much so that one lost track of time.

A smile appeared on Liu Yi's face as he asked:

What advice do you have for the Virtual World?

"You've been inside for so long, have you noticed anything?"

Little Yellow tilted his head and pondered for a moment before replying:

"I didn't notice anything else, but the scenery and creatures inside were all very novel. There were many ferocious beasts and mythical creatures that I had never even heard of before."

However, one thing is that it's not very convenient.

This Virtual World is just too vast, and there's no Spatial Teleportation; flying alone would be incredibly slow.

"To travel the whole world, who knows how long it would take?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi's heart skipped a beat.

This is indeed a problem, one that he hadn't considered before.

Other system hosts, if they wish to travel far in the Virtual World, can only rely on their own flight.

In this way, just getting around would take up a lot of time.

In addition, the time limit he is about to implement will undoubtedly greatly restrict the scope of activities of the system hosts.

With this in mind, he had already made up his mind:

Space portals must be added to the Virtual World so that people can easily travel to different places.

Moreover, the Virtual World is essentially a realm constructed by the mind, so achieving Spatial Teleportation is very simple and requires negligible energy.

From now on, each use of Spatial Teleportation, regardless of distance, will only incur a charge of 10 Energy Points.

In this way, they can not only make up for the energy loss of Spatial Teleportation, but also make a profit on the side.

Thinking of this, Liu Yi's expression softened considerably as he looked at Little Yellow, and he asked:

"Hmm, the problem you just discovered is very valuable. Have you found any other problems?"

Little Yellow shook its head and said in a simple voice, "Master, I didn't notice anything else."

Seeing this, Liu Yi didn't ask any more questions and casually tossed out a bunch of fresh ingredients:

"I just got out of customs, hurry up and cook me a big meal to treat me properly."

"Okay! I'll go get it for you right away!"

Seeing that Liu Yi wasn't going to pursue the matter any further, Little Yellow breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the ingredients, and dashed towards the kitchen.

Liu Yi entered the Virtual World, and with a flash, he leisurely flew through the air.

The sea of clouds surged high in the sky, and the figures of other system hosts could be seen everywhere. They too were suspended in mid-air, looking at this world with curiosity in their eyes.

Several other areas erupted with earth-shattering roars, as people were engaged in fierce battles with divine beasts. The intense fighting attracted many system hosts to stop and watch.

He stood on the cloud for a moment, then turned around and continued his aimless wandering.

Along the way, they encountered many system hosts busy building houses, and some had even built city walls, wanting to build a city in this Virtual World.

After wandering around for a while, he decided not to linger and logged out of the Virtual World.

He opened TikTok) to see what feedback people had on the Fairness System 11.0.

As soon as he entered TikTok, he saw that the top two trending topics were firmly occupied by "Fairness System 11.0 Update" and "The Virtual World is Exactly the Same as the Real World".

He clicked on the entry for "Fairness System 11.0 Version Update," which contained detailed information about the new version of the system.

After quickly browsing through the comments, he went straight to the comments section to read them.

"Fantastic! The Fairness System has been updated again!"

This time, the daily Energy Points automatically generated by the system have increased to approximately 5250, nearly doubling.

Now I'll have more Energy Points to improve my cultivation.

"A cause for celebration! Every time the system updates, what I look forward to most is the increase in automatically generated Energy Points. With more Energy Points, my breakthrough to the Divine Acupoint Realm is just around the corner."

"Great! The system adds automatically generated Energy Points with each update, and with the system's assistance, even with mediocre talent, I have a chance to cultivate to the Dao Body Realm."

Even if I can't break through to immortality myself, I can still rely on my descendants. They can give me a hand then, and there's hope for Longevity.

"The surge in automatically generated Energy Points is certainly appealing, but this Virtual World is truly amazing! I tried it out, and it's practically identical to the real world!"

"Absolutely! The scenery inside is unbelievably beautiful, and all sorts of ferocious beasts and mythical creatures roam around. You can even fight them and increase your combat experience."

"I discovered that one can actually cultivate and comprehend the Dao in the Virtual World. Unfortunately, the drawback is that while one's understanding of the Great Dao can be brought back to the physical body, the cultivation level achieved through practice cannot be taken with one."

"It doesn't matter if I can't take my cultivation level with me; I can experience it beforehand and gain some cultivation experience."

"This Fairness System is so fair! It only costs 100 Energy Points to enter the Virtual World."

The only downside is that you can't use Spatial Teleportation; you can only travel to distant places by flying, which is too time-consuming.

"The Virtual World is indeed great, but all the original system functions have been upgraded."

I just tried out the Dao Comprehension Space and Reincarnation Illusion Realm features, and found that they are much more powerful than the Fairness System 10.0. It's definitely more for the same price!
