Cosmic-Level Demon God

Qin Shi did not refuse and took the card.

The material was very thin and light. When he rubbed it with his fingertip, he found a frosted texture, actually an embedding of fine crystals using advanced industrial technology.

"Thank you for Miss An's kindness, and thank you Yuan Energy Company for valuing me so much."

Qin Shi said politely.

As the old saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face.

There's indeed some truth to that.

Despite the fact that Qin Shi instinctively had a bad impression of "companies," stubbornly believing that such pure profit relationships would eventually face betrayal and exploitation.

He had to admit that An Jingchu's attitude and the way Yuan Energy Company demonstrated its sincerity were hard to dislike.

"Still not thick-skinned enough to accept freebies with peace of mind," he muttered to himself.

Qin Shi had lunch and returned to his room.

He took out the card and examined it carefully, making sure there were no hidden dangers.

Relaxing his spirit, his mind delved into the Inner Realm.

"Super He, have you ever logged into the Grand Cosmos Server?"

Qin Shi routinely asked his personal search engine.

"I am you. You should ask if He Lanchan has ever logged into the Grand Cosmos Server."

Super He corrected strictly, then continued:

"As one of the first-generation top ten elites, He Lanchan naturally entered the Grand Cosmos Server. He was even in the top fifty in the Galaxy district combat power ranking."

Qin Shi scratched his head, thinking, someone as talented as He Lanchan managed only to be in the top fifty?

Super He sternly said,

"Considering the nine millennia-old Martial Gods from New Dongxia and the elites from other civilizations in the Galaxy district, being in the top fifty is not low."

In the whole Galaxy, creatures were as countless as the grains of sand in the Ganges River.

Old He being in the top fifty was truly a significant achievement.

Qin Shi calculated on his fingers, realizing this belatedly.

"So, what should I be aware of when logging into the Grand Cosmos Server?"

He asked humbly.

"Remember to create a secondary account."

Super He said.

"Although the Grand Cosmos Server requires real-name registration, it's possible to bypass the administrators and secretly change to a secondary account. He Lanchan forgot to do this back then, which led to him being hunted across the Galaxy district and often getting camped at resurrection points."

So brutal?

Qin Shi gasped.

He then asked for tips on creating a secondary account, and after understanding in detail, exited the Inner Realm.

His Spiritual Power slowly penetrated the card, and the extremely fine crystals embedded in it lit up one by one in a ripple effect, intertwining to outline curves of three oscillating strings.

It resembled a key, piercing through the Door of void space, bringing Qin Shi to another spectacular world.

Some invisible wave engulfed his Mortal Body, conducting an extremely detailed scan.

It was more in-depth than checking Life Force, almost covering every cell.

Causing the flesh and blood within him to boil with activity, manifesting potential.

"This technology is far beyond Qiguang Heng University's Virtual Combat Room."

Qin Shi did not feel nervous, clearing his mind and body to embrace the "hug" of the Grand Cosmos Server.

Soon, his spirit seemed to be drawn, strands forming into a cocoon, incubating in a dark space.

Unknown how much time passed, his mind broke free from the cocoon, forming a vague human shape.

"This is somewhat like the condensation of a Holy Embryo. It feels less like logging into a virtual world, and more like a spiritual rebirth, crossing into another realm."

Qin Shi pondered, as he grew limbs and facial features like an embryonic form.

This process could be controlled by his mind, shaping his specific appearance.

It was like "face sculpting."

"Plain and unremarkable would be better."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shi chose to appear as a young man with heavy eyebrows, large eyes, and a square face.

He had seen this image on the Martial Arts Association's official website; it exuded righteous integrity.

In stark contrast to the disheartened physical education teacher he was now.

Once the "face sculpting" was complete, the void space was cleaved by a beam of light, revealing an entirely new scene.

It was an ancient city, in stark contrast to the modern style of New Dongxia.

Seemingly built of huge stones, towering hundreds of meters high, almost reaching into the clouds.

Below, pedestrians like ants in retro clothing, mostly long robes and simple fabrics, with monochromatic colors.

"Welcome to the Galaxy district."

"ID number 95234257..."

"This is the newbie area, please explore freely."

An affectionate female voice echoed in his consciousness. The overlooking perspective of Qin Shi suddenly plummeted rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he was grounded in the barren wilderness.

He looked down at his straw sandals and coarse clothes, clearly the initial outfit of a newbie player.

"Not even a wooden sword?"

Qin Shi grumbled inwardly.

As he pondered his next steps, noticing a herd of deer not far away in this free-to-explore "open world," always giving players the most headaches.

"Guess I'll farm some monsters."

Qin Shi ran bare-handed toward the target. After the Grand Cosmos Server scanned, it awarded him physical attributes not much different from reality.

Minutes later, Qin Shi was shimmering with golden light, with one aura after another flashing around him.

This was the leveling-up effect.

"What use is leveling up?"

Qin Shi wondered, having only a preliminary understanding of the so-called Second Universe and not yet grasping its benefits.

"Permissions. The higher the level, the more permissions you get."

Super He's voice resounded softly.

"Why are you here?"

Qin Shi looked at the palm-sized Super He floating in the air.

"The Grand Cosmos Server provides players with auxiliary robots as guides. I can communicate with you through it."

Super He added,

"Keep leveling up; the higher your level, the more features you unlock, including the marketplace, trade house, and friend chat. The biggest advantage of the Grand Cosmos Server is reducing communication costs among different civilizations. Even if separated by countless light years, it can facilitate seamless exchanges."

Qin Shi nodded and continued grinding; fortunately, his physical endurance was outstanding. After who knows how long, as the fiftieth aura flashed by, he finally unlocked all the basic functions.

Soon, he understood the significance of Super He instructing him to level up.

"Evolution Space, available for rent at level 900, costing 10,000 Void Coins. Time ratio is 100:1, perfect for simulating evolution routes..."

"Bloodline Ascension Formula, available at level 1,000, costing 100,000 Void Coins, with a 30% success rate..."

"Growth Alloy, available at level 1,400, costing 500,000 Void Coins, this Active Metal has tremendous growth potential..."

Qin Shi felt dazzled. This was far superior to Entropy Sea Bank's exchange list, which only offered resources.

Enticingly, he browsed further.

Entropy Sea Bank dealt in "resources," while the Grand Cosmos Server peddled "artifacts."

"Both don't provide 'knowledge,' which means inheritance."

Qin Shi familiarized himself with the various functions while continuing to grind.

Around level 100, the newbie area no longer offered monsters that provided significant experience.

So he entered the city, spent a Void Coin to activate a Teleportation Array, and headed to a larger main city.

Upon reaching level 170, Qin Shi unlocked the ranking function.

He opened it and sure enough found He Lanchan's name.

Ranked fifty-sixth, almost dropping out of the top list.

"Old He left too soon, such a disadvantage."

Qin Shi continued to scroll up, and to his surprise found Qi Wuxiang at rank seventeen.

He even chose to make all his information public.

"9 millionth level?"

Qin Shi rubbed his eyes to confirm he wasn't seeing things.

This Great Demon King must have spent an incredible amount of time to accumulate so much experience.

Further up, the information was all classified, not even names visible.

But undoubtedly, nine of them were the founding heroes of New Dongxia.

Including the first-generation Martial Gods, such as Yan Haishan, Ning Yuanhai.

That roughly composed the Galaxy district's strongest combat power list.

"Where do I rank?"

Qin Shi curiously inquired.

Only to receive, "Not yet on the list."

"Level 100+, and still not qualified to rank?"

Qin Shi's mouth twitched, feeling an urge to find a spot to intensely grind levels.

However, something else caught his eye.

"Cross-district matching?"
