Chapter 793: Chapter 793
Qing Chen committed suicide and deleted his account.
Only FFF, a sturdy and strong figure, remained among the crowd. Everyone's gaze turned to him and the lightsaber in his hand...
If White Light deleted his account, then this lightsaber would become a swan song, a masterpiece alongside two battle videos and a story from the internet.
There would be no more after this.
"I'll buy your lightsaber, I'll pay 50,000!"
FFF looked at everyone vigilantly: "I'm not selling, this lightsaber is too precious!"
"I'll pay 200,000!" A plainly dressed Black man said from the crowd. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥
Everyone looked, and instantly understood that this Black man must be a slave from the real world of West Continent, specifically working for a slave owner in the Virtual Realm.
FFF shook his head: "No, 200,000 is still too low, it's already a collector's item!"
The next second, another Black man said: "I'll pay 268,800! You can't refuse this price. The first signed weapon of the battle master Leiming is worth this much, and Master Leiming is constantly improving. He only achieved this price after becoming an S-class master. Although White Light was powerful, his battles were always stuck at F-Class. While skillful, it's ultimately F-Class."
FFF was thoughtful, seemingly swayed by the price: "Any higher bids?
No one in the crowd responded. He finally looked at the Black man: "Deal!"
The two didn't trade on the spot, instead going to an ATM before shaking hands.
A sound like rushing water, the sound of a large sum of money, flowed from the place where their hands were clasped. The money flowed from the Black man's hand into FFF's, and FFF directly deposited it into the bank anonymously.
This type of deposit was rare in the real world, but commonplace in the Virtual Realm, preventing robbery or murder for loot.
It could be withdrawn with an account number and password.
FFF was an old player in the Virtual Realm, naturally aware of how vicious people could be in this lawless world.
After the transaction, someone curiously asked: "What did White Light say to you before deleting his account?
FFF thought for a moment: "He said... it's meaningless."
Everyone looked at each other, did White Light really quit?
Actually, Qing Chen only said two things to FFF.
First: "Sell the lightsaber quickly, 70/30 split."
Second: "If you want to cooperate, wait for me at the 001 spawn point in 5 hours."
Thinking of this, FFF quickly left the others and ran towards the dungeon, because the 001 spawn point was underground, he had to take the city's rail transit.
Qing Chen opened his eyes in the virtual pod, confidently sitting up...
Finally, he didn't have to pretend to be in the Virtual Realm!
He looked around, but found Yi still in her previous posture, seemingly unchanged.
Qing Chen curiously asked: "During this day and a half, didn't you move at all?"
Yi said: "You're finally out. My mind was wandering; although my body was here, my mind has been browsing the Air Fortress's data. Also, I found that the Fighter Jets and Airships on the deck have remote control access. I controlled them to fly around in the sky for several laps, taking many photos of the Forbidden Sea. Strangely, when I tried to access the West Continent's network through the fortress, I was denied access, as if there was a special Data Fortress barrier."
There are two mainstream methods for Inner World network defense. Generally, military facilities use physical isolation and intranets.
Civilians primarily use Data Fortresses. To break through them, it's not enough to have advanced technology; you also need the world's top computer as a server.
Obviously, the Air Fortress's host doesn't meet this level.
Qing Chen was puzzled. Why was West Continent's civilian network so heavily guarded? Was it protecting humanity... or was it protecting super AI?
Had West Continent and AI also had a war?
Yi propped up her chin and asked: "By the way, you were in there for so long this time, you must have been to many places."
Qing Chen: "...Due to certain reasons, I'm still in the same place. Ahem, I made a lot of money this time, what's the exchange rate between the Virtual Realm and the real world of West Continent?
Yi said: "1.02 to 2, 2 Virtual Realm yuan can be exchanged for approximately 1 real-world yuan."
Qing Chen chuckled: "I want to buy you that mechanical parts set. It's a bit expensive."
Yi's eyes lit up: "Really? To complete that set of parts, I need a Mechanical Heart to power them, a Mechanical Heart costs 140 million."
Qing Chen asked in shock: "How much?"
"140 million," Yi said, "How much did you earn? Is it enough?"
Qing Chen: "Don't worry, I've almost got it, just a little remainder...By the way, has the island arrived?"
"Almost!" Yi said, "The island has appeared on the Phase-array Radar, and it will take at most four hours to reach it."
"Okay, before we arrive, I have some things to ask Xiao Hei," Qing Chen climbed out of the virtual pod.
Yi, with her hands behind her back, hopped and skipped behind him. She smiled inwardly, Qing Chen certainly hadn't earned enough money, otherwise he wouldn't change the subject.
But seeing his appearance, he was genuinely trying hard to save money for her, which was good.
And it's not just Qing Chen who can make money. Once they reach West Continent, she can also use various methods to earn money for herself!
Actually, according to Qing Chen's estimation, a robot equipped with a nuclear-powered Mechanical Heart and possessing pulse cannon capabilities, capable of both flight and combat, surpasses the abilities of most A-Class units.
So once Yi possesses this equipment, she will immediately have real-world combat power.
But this is not why Qing Chen wants to get Yi top-tier equipment. It's simple: This is the first time this little girl has such an urgent desire, and he wants to help her achieve it.
When they reached the restaurant entrance, Xiao Hei immediately came over: "Master, you haven't eaten anything for almost 30 hours. We've prepared many dishes for you..."
"Don't be too familiar," Qing Chen waved his hand, "No matter how familiar you are, it won't change your fate of going to the island."
Qing Chen had no trust in these Black and Asian people. His trip to West Continent was top-secret. No matter how loyal they appeared now, he wouldn't trust them.
However, Xiao Hei said in surprise: "We don't want to return to West Continent. Compared to returning to West Continent and suffering humiliation, it's better to go to the island. Maybe we can have a new life."
"Is life in West Continent so terrible?" Qing Chen asked in doubt.
"Yes," Xiao Hei nodded, "There are cameras everywhere on the streets, and facial recognition technology. You can't talk casually on the streets. Even if you sarcastically say a word about a baron, the keywords will be monitored and then punished. Life there is too depressing, and there's nowhere to run."
Qing Chen thought, isn't this the Prism program of Outer World North America?
The Prism program means that all the information on your phone is monitored by the US National Security Agency. If you send a message containing sensitive words, you will immediately be monitored and surveilled.
Individuals have no privacy in such a system, only a high-pressure living environment, where they must be extremely cautious to survive.
Qing Chen didn't expect West Continent's control over its people to be so strict.
He put aside this doubt and continued to ask: "Since you've worked in a gold-farming guild in the Virtual Realm, let me ask you something. What's the most valuable thing in the Virtual Realm?"
Xiao Hei thought for a moment and said: "The chance to become a Metahuman."
"Wait a minute," Qing Chen was startled, "A virtual world can allow people to become Metahumans in the real world? Can the virtual affect the real? Can the power obtained in the Virtual Realm be brought to the real world?"
"No, no, no," Xiao Hei shook his head like a rattle, "In the Virtual Realm, players can gain exploration points and completion points in 365 multi-dimensional worlds. The points will determine your ranking on the leaderboard. Each month is a new season, and the top 10 players in the season can get a chance to become an Awakened One. I don't know how this works, but the top 10 spots can be transferred, each spot is worth over 100 million."
"A chance to become an Awakened One? What's the success rate?" Qing Chen asked.
"It seems someone has calculated it, it's about 8%, the person with a spot needs to stay in the virtual pod for 24 hours in complete isolation, and they will wake up and know if they have awakened," Xiao Hei replied.
Qing Chen understood. The AI in the Virtual Realm must have mastered a way to stimulate the brain and develop it after connecting to the Neuron!
According to East Continent's Metahuman theory, all superhuman abilities come from mental will, that is, brain development, and the Virtual Realm plus the virtual pod has a natural advantage.
An 8% probability is not high. If someone wants to gamble for a chance, spending over 100 million to buy a spot is also normal.
If this spot could make someone 100% awaken, I'm afraid that someone would pay billions to buy it. In the world of capital, there is no shortage of wealthy people.
Xiao Hei continued: "If you're the number one in annual points, you can get a chance to comprehend the A-Class realm. This spot has never been seen transferred."
In other words, the AI in the Virtual Realm has even experienced the A-Class realm, and can truly transmit that knowledge to humans!
Now, Qing Chen was even more interested in the Virtual Realm.
He didn't need to awaken, but he could quickly accumulate the wealth Yi needed by selling spots!
Qing Chen sighed, on Whale Island, others played the points game he set up, giving birth to a hard worker like Chen Zhuozao. Now, he was going to play other people's points game, and he would also work hard!
Qing Chen sat in the restaurant, asking question after question, learning about the situation in the 365 multi-dimensional worlds, and learning about what the people who had earned the most points over the years had done.
Then he discovered that several players seemed to be frequent visitors to the leaderboard, hard workers as well, who had long since achieved financial freedom by turning points from the superconducting biqudu world into money.
Hours later, Yi said beside him: "We've reached the island, starting to descend."
Qing Chen nodded: "All you Xiao Heis, take the items you've chosen. Once you reach the deck, there will be a Class A Airship to take you to the island."
The next moment, he saw more than 800 Black people, all holding weapons and ammunition...
There's a simple truth about island survival: when you land on an island with 100 people, if you have tools and they have weapons, your tools become their tools.
The Black people seemed to understand this as well, so everyone had weapons, no one dared to carry tools.
Qing Chen shook his head, he felt that 99% of these people would be wiped out within ten days, but he didn't persuade them, let them be.
After sending off the Black people, Qing Chen immediately returned to the virtual pod and began a new journey!
In the white, soft space, the AI patiently asked again: "Do you want to change your appearance?"
"Change," This time, Qing Chen chose a different appearance for himself.
"Do you want to change your birthplace?" the AI asked.
"Change, I choose the 001 spawn point." This time, the AI was curious: "You didn't change before when you were ambushed, but now that no one is ambushing you, why do you want to change?"
Qing Chen smiled: "Ask me ten more questions, and I'll answer you."
The next second, he was sent out of the white space.
Qing Chen muttered: "Can't you take a joke..."
Outside the 001 spawn point, a small group of seven people were eyeing him. Qing Chen patted his pocket: "I'm reborn after death, I don't have a key."
Seeing that there was no profit, the group immediately waved their hands impatiently: "Get lost."
Qing Chen didn't care, he had already seen FFF outside the spawn point.
Coming before FFF, Qing Chen smiled: "Isn't running away with the money better? If we split 70/30, you'll lose a lot of money."
FFF said sincerely: "Cooperating with you should earn more."
It must be said that FFF was a player with absolute business acumen. He could see the commercial value of Qing Chen's signature early on, and was certain that following Qing Chen would make money, which was remarkable.
He handed a slip of paper to Qing Chen: "This is your anonymous account from now on. I will deposit the cooperation money into it, and I will help you with the business."
"Happy cooperation," Qing Chen smiled, taking the lightsaber from the other's backpack: "Stay away."
He turned and walked towards the group of seven...
Ten minutes later, Qing Chen returned to FFF, covered in blood, handing him four lightsabers, more than ten multi-dimensional world keys, and 3892 yuan: "I'll sign the lightsabers. After I kill this hundred spawn point groups, we'll sell them."
FFF gasped. No wonder this ruthless person asked him to come to the 001 spawn point. This was a plan to systematically clear all spawn points!
What business opportunity did you find...
He advised: "But if you kill too many people, the Virtual Realm system will forcibly slow down your speed. Killing one is a cancellation of mall purchase privileges, and killing 100 will result in negative..."
Qing Chen smiled: "I'm a new account, what am I afraid of?"
Fff was stunned. Yes, as a new account, Qing Chen could delete and recreate his account at any time, so why should he worry about killing others?
He suddenly felt sincerely: "When you become famous, Satan and God will have to tattoo you on their backs for courage."
