Chapter 344 The Magic of the Virtual Universe
Chapter 344 The Magic of the Virtual Universe
-------
After leaving the star port, Luo Feng immediately headed to Qiulong City.
In the capital of the Silver-Blue Empire, human races of all kinds gathered. Luo Feng saw various people with three eyes, horns on their heads, hair all over their bodies, or strange skin colors. Their clothing customs varied greatly.
Some wore one-piece clothing with no openings, like a second layer of skin, in a sci-fi style; others wore wild tribal animal skin clothing. In short, it was very exciting. Moreover, there were great differences in height between different races. There were dwarves who were only a little over one meter tall, and there were also little giants who were three or four meters tall. Luo Feng felt that even if he didn't put away the mecha and wore it on, he would not be regarded as an alien.
Because there are really people wearing metal-style clothing on the streets here, it feels like an online game cutscene, and everyone is dressed very weirdly.
Therefore, Luo Feng wearing the golden mecha can only be said to be ordinary. Some people may even think that this pure gold color is a bit vulgar.
But the shape is very nice, it can be regarded as vulgar and elegant.
Although Luo Feng had seen the world in the chat group, when he came here he still felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, with his eyes wide open.
"Planetary level, planetary level, stellar level..."
He distinguished the strength of passers-by and found that here, the planetary level was just the foundation, the common people, but on Earth, the planetary level was an existence beyond the level of the god of war.
"Let's go to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's administrative building in the Silver Blue Empire and register as citizens of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. This will make it much easier for us to move around in the Silver Blue Empire in the future."
This is Babata’s plan. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire is of a higher level than the Silver Blue Empire. Registering as a citizen of it will provide many conveniences in doing things in the Silver Blue Empire.
"Babata, why haven't I seen a strong man beyond the star level?" Luo Feng was still paying attention to the strength of passers-by.
"Here, stellar-level characters are relatively rare. As for cosmic-level characters, how many can there be in the small Silver-Blue Empire? Of course there are cosmic-level characters on this Qilong Star, but it is not so easy to see them. And it is better for you not to meet them now, as you haven't registered your identity yet."
During the conversation, Luo Feng came to a mountain-like building. The whole building was as huge as a mountain on Earth, with a black dragon carved on it. This was the office of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire on Qiulong Star.
At the entrance of the building, there were two bronze-skinned guards nearly six meters tall. When they saw Luo Feng coming, they actually stretched out their hands to stop him.
"What's the matter with you?"
Unlike the port, the port staff saw Luo Feng land on Qiulong Star in such a small humanoid spacecraft and thought he was a rich man.
However, these two guards have no idea how powerful this equipment is. They just treat it as an ordinary decoration. After all, there is no such mecha in this world.
Moreover, Luo Feng's strength is top-notch on Earth, but not so good in the universe and is not taken seriously.
"Luo Feng, don't be polite to them, otherwise it will attract other people's attention." Babata reminded.
Luo Feng activated a bit of the power of the Saint-level mecha, and an invisible pressure descended upon the two guards, instantly freezing them in place, as if they were glanced at by some terrifying giant beast, as if their hearts were being gripped.
"Open your eyes!"
Luo Feng didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he had no choice but to choose this method, using the power of the Saint-level mecha to bully the two guards.
When Luo Feng walked in, the two of them were sweating profusely. They looked at each other in shock, "Did we offend someone just now? Who was that person?"
"I don't know, but he is someone we cannot afford to offend."
Luo Feng entered the building, and Babata searched for the floor where naturalization matters were handled, "Go to the 32nd floor."
"The universe really does treat people differently."
"What else? In the universe, if you have money and power, you have everything and will be respected by others. The way some countries on your Earth have done things won't work in the universe." Babata seemed to be implying something.
"We have our own civilization." Luo Feng didn't think naked survival of the fittest was a good thing.
Besides, isn't there order in the universe? Otherwise, how were these cosmic countries established? Who set the rules and laws?
The slave trade was so rampant, but didn't they still dare to capture the citizens of the empire?
……
The naturalization process went smoothly. To join the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, one only needed to pay 50 Black Dragon Coins. Luo Feng threw a Qian Wu Coin over and got 950 yuan in change.
After obtaining his identity, he immediately went to the bank to open an account according to Babata's instructions, and then went to the Virtual Universe Company to buy a consciousness sensing helmet and open an account.
He had heard about the virtual universe from Babata for a long time. It was equivalent to the Internet used by aliens. Babata had been trapped on Earth for 50,000 years, and he was an intelligent life who wanted to wander around on the Internet. It was like he had been quitting the Internet for 50,000 years. He almost went crazy.
The consciousness sensing helmet is a basic device that almost every citizen of the Universe Country has. It costs 10 yuan. Luo Feng bought 10 anonymous ones, intending to bring them back to Earth later. He also opened an account and prepaid the Internet fee.
Afterwards, he checked in at a hotel in Qiulong City. After checking the room, he put on the consciousness sensing helmet and entered the virtual universe.
The last time he played this was in the elite training camp on Earth. However, the consciousness sensing helmets obtained from the ruins on Earth could not be connected to the virtual universe because they had no internet fees, so they could only play some stand-alone games.
For example, the Trial Tower that he challenged in the training camp, according to Babata, is a stand-alone game for children in the universe, used to exercise physical strength, so it is used by the generals and gods of war on Earth.
In the background where the planetary-level citizens of the Universe Country are just passers-by, the general-level and war-god-level are basically children and minors, which means that they are playing a purely early education game.
"The virtual universe is being connected..."
A deep and powerful voice echoed in Luo Feng's consciousness, and then he fell into darkness.
Passing through the darkness, Luo Feng appeared in an ancient city. The streets were paved with large blocks of cut rocks, which was obviously different from the real scene.
What is even more different from reality is that although the passers-by on the street have different appearances, heights, and races, everyone has an elf on his shoulder.
A little devil the size of a fist also appeared on Luo Feng's shoulder. Unlike the others, Babata was obviously an intelligent life with skin in the virtual universe. The others were elves, but he was a little devil.
“Is this the virtual universe network?”
Luo Feng felt his body here and couldn't tell the difference between reality and virtuality. "It's too real!"
"Of course. The reality of the virtual universe is unparalleled. Here you can still practice secret techniques and comprehend the laws. This is the virtual universe!"
"Can we bring physical objects into and out of reality from here?" Luo Feng asked.
"Uh... that won't work. The virtual universe doesn't have the function of trading physical items. This is a bit too black technology." "No?"
Luo Feng still felt a little regretful, "It would be perfect if the virtual universe had this function."
Babata was shocked by Luo Feng's idea.
"That's not perfect, that's thrilling, it's a horror story!"
Dark space travel is already very difficult. Earthlings have not yet developed dark space travel technology. As for what Luo Feng said about bringing physical objects in and out of the virtual universe...
You have to know that in the virtual universe, the original universe coordinates corresponding to each person are different. You give me things, I give him things, and then we bring them in and out. In the original universe, it may take tens of thousands of light years. This efficiency of transmitting items is a miracle!
And since you can give away items, there won’t be any difference if you give it to a person, right?
In that case, doesn't it mean that the employees of the Virtual Universe Company can come to you anytime and anywhere?
The efficiency of opening the box is simply unbeatable!
The Virtual Universe Company is going to be invincible.
"How do we calculate the energy consumption of being able to teleport items anytime and anywhere regardless of distance? It's impossible that there is no energy consumption, right? If we have such technology and use it in war, wouldn't the Virtual Universe Company be invincible?"
"It seems so."
In a war where technology comes first, such terrifying transportation capabilities are indeed very powerful in war.
Babata nodded. "The virtual universe is still virtual. Everyone here has a virtual assistant, which is the elf on everyone's shoulder. Of course, I am not one of those low-level intelligent people. Here, in addition to the games you earthlings play, there are also delicious foods with perfect taste and super exciting sensory experiences. You are an adult, you can try it."
At this point, Babata suddenly interrupted: "You seem to be a virgin, right?"
Luo Feng's face darkened, "...Can we change the subject?"
"Hahaha, don't be too restrained. The universe is very open, and the virtual universe is even more open. There are always large parties for tens of thousands of people in the entertainment room, and you can even play some special games that are beyond 100% realism."
After listening to the above, Luo Feng felt that the debauchery in the universe was indeed amazing.
But after hearing the second half of the sentence, he asked curiously, "What does it mean to surpass 100%? No matter how real the virtual universe is, the highest degree of reality is 100%. How can it be surpassed?"
"Of course." Babata showed a strange smile, and then asked Luo Feng: "Do you know what it feels like to control the tail?"
"I know."
Luo Feng's clone merged with the golden-horned beast and could transform into a little dragon man with horns, a tail, and wings.
"But most other people in the virtual universe can't have this experience, so some special games with super-realistic realism came into being, where you can add limbs to yourself to get experiences that you have never had in reality. By the way, tentacles are commonly used."
Luo Feng:......
People in the universe are having so much fun!
They can even turn into tentacle monsters!
"Is this kind of game okay? I mean, if they experience limbs that don't exist in reality in the virtual universe, won't there be any sequelae after returning to reality? For example, phantom limbs?"
Luo Feng had seen on the Internet that some disabled people experience phantom limb symptoms. Since these people in the universe play games so excitingly, wouldn’t they experience similar symptoms when they return to reality?
"What is impossible in reality can be achieved here, so some people play for hundreds or even thousands of years. It is normal to get married and have children in the game. After all, as long as you have money, the virtual universe will always be open to you."
"Hundreds or thousands of years? Is your body okay after playing for so long?"
"No, some game companies have very advanced life-support chamber technology that can ensure that you remain healthy until you die of old age. Where there is demand, there is a market. This area has been developed for tens of thousands of years, so there won't be any problems," said Babata.
"This is a universe-class internet addict. He plays games until he dies, and yet his body is still healthy..."
A healthy corpse, a joke on Earth’s internet, unexpectedly became a reality in the universe.
“But virtual games are played by people with no ambitions, so you can’t get addicted to them,” Babata reminded.
"Well, I know that the virtual universe is a tool. I should use the function that helps with cultivation, right?"
"That's right. In the virtual universe, you can fight with people from all over the world and all races. This is very helpful to you. After all, you can't find a decent opponent on Earth. In addition, there are many trading markets in the virtual universe. You can trade with people for any cultivation resources you need. After paying, you can wait for the goods to be delivered to your door."
The two things Luo Feng needs now are an opponent and resources.
Opponents can find resources in the virtual universe, which makes it easier, but there is a prerequisite.
You have to have money.
"Babata, I want to buy some metal to absorb, preferably metal that is better than black iron. Are the more than 900 Qianwu coins you gave me enough?"
"Not enough at all. High-grade metals are very expensive. The quickest way for you to do this is to sell the mechanical spaceship. However, there are some risks because few people in a small place like the Silver-Blue Empire can afford it. Another safer way is for you to return to Earth and plunder all the ruins to see if there are any good things left and sell them for money."
Luo Feng thought about Babata's suggestion and felt that he should not be too reckless. He decided to go to the universe to check out the situation and make a decision after returning to Earth. Aren't there other restricted areas on Earth that have not been developed? There might be other spacecrafts there.
The mechanical spaceship that the group leader pointed out to me was very good, but it was so good that it was a little inconvenient to sell it.
"Then I want to see how to compete with others first, and compare the difference in strength between myself and the masters in the universe." Luo Feng decided to take a look at this function first this time.
Although the group leader and Babata both affirmed that his current strength was invincible in the same level and that he would surely win the championship in the genius battle, he still wanted more.
"Going to the Killing Ground? Your current strength is a bit too much for you to go there. You have already started to comprehend the laws. Besides, the Killing Ground charges according to your strength. You will need 500 Qian Wu coins to go there for one day now."
Babata said that his wallet was not enough to support Luo Feng's practice.
"What? We don't have enough money for two days?"
They only have more than 900 Qianwu coins.
