MTLNOVEL Chapter 162 Simulation: Game Entry Rules
In the blink of an eye, the students' summer vacation ended.
Su Jie also left Jiangnan City, boarding the train back to his hometown. Gazing through the clear glass window at the continuously shrinking city, he silently vowed, "In one year, I must truly get admitted here!"
"Minglun City, I wonder when I can return."
"Truly a great city!"
"Minglun, the most prosperous city in the world!"
Inside the same train compartment, many people were expressing their admiration, and most of them even thought of staying here forever.
The location of Minglun was Jiangnan City.
But many people called it Minglun City because the most famous thing here was Minglun, and the realm of Minglun was indeed the entire Jiangnan City.
Even across the globe, there were Minglun's businesses and martial arts schools.
Some enthusiasts even proposed renaming Earth to Minglun Star.
Of course, Minglun itself would never agree to that.
Three hours later, Su Jie got off the train and returned to his hometown, Jiangbei City.
Jiangbei City was actually quite close to Jiangnan City; it only took three hours by train to get there.
First, he went to school to check in, then he went home briefly to assure his parents of his safety, before he started thinking about the matter of Taixu Fantasy Realm - Primitive Star.
The news about this had already spread far and wide; it would have been hard for him not to know about it.
Su Jie was also curious about the actual planet, Primitive Star, but he knew that his current major hurdle was the Jiang Corporation.
Obviously, the Jiang Corporation would definitely be involved in Primitive Star.
It was rumored that the resources from Primitive Star could be brought back to reality if fetched through the Taixu Phantom Realm; anything one could carry could be brought back.
If so, the Jiang Corporation would grow once more!
The gap between him and the Jiang Corporation would grow even larger!
Not to mention, that Primitive Star, possessing Spiritual Energy, might hold some heavenly materials and earthly treasures. If Jiang Wudao consumed them, it would be even more difficult for him to catch up.
Therefore, he must also enter Primitive Star!
At the moment, the only thing he could do was to bridge the gap in vitality between him and Jiang Wudao; other aspects were beyond his current consideration.
However, to enter the Taixu Phantom Realm, he needed to purchase its virtual device.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but his parents would use his studies as an excuse to prevent him from entering the Taixu Phantom Realm, wanting him and his sister to live a safe and peaceful life.
He guessed that his parents might be no ordinary people.
His father, Su Shilin, seemed to know martial arts too and definitely had a vitality far beyond 0.7, while his mother, though a housewife, never cooked. The cleaning, cooking, and other household chores were all done by Su Shilin.
Sometimes, Su Jie speculated that his father might be some sort of super-soldier, and his mother could be a wealthy heiress, then his father took on a security job to get close to his mother...
"What are you thinking about? You seem distracted."
At the dining table, Su Shilin glanced at his son who was daydreaming while looking at the Taiji rice, his gaze slightly stern, "By the way, what exactly did you do this summer vacation?"
His whole body was muscular, and he had grown taller, about one meter eighty now.
Such changes over a summer vacation?
Definitely not from some math tutoring class!
Su Jie realized and clenched his toes tightly to the soles of his shoes, his strength even gripping the ground through the soles.
"I went to practice martial arts."
"Martial arts?"
Su Shilin was first surprised and then snorted with a chuckle, "You lad have also started to work hard physically?"
"With pressure comes motivation," Su Jie said.
Su Shilin fell silent.
He was aware of the specifics regarding Su Chen's situation but who was to blame when she got tricked?
That was also somewhat Su Chen's own fault.
Starting a business secretly, borrowing money, and then getting oppressed and acquired through commercial means—all legal tactics—it just showed Su Chen was too naive to handle the seasoned big corporations.
Su Shilin had nothing to say about that.
He wanted to help, but he couldn't do much; he knew his daughter was somewhat proud.
That was normal; who wasn't a bit reckless in their youth?
Not to mention, Su Chen truly had genuine talent.
Only a pity—
This was not an issue that could be resolved with martial force.
Otherwise, Su Shilin would have already taken action; he was certainly not a man of soft heart.
But then, relying on force, he hadn't progressed much in his spiritual cultivation in a long time and his vitality was also around 7, while Jiang Wudao of the Jiang Corporation had 10.
If he really went, it would be humiliating and he would also embarrass his daughter.
Now, that his son had this awareness,
Su Shilin suddenly felt he had already lost face.
Xu Ying seemed to grasp what her husband was thinking and asked Su Jie, "What has your life force reached? Is it 0.8? I've heard that even the worst summer training at Minglun can increase life force by 0.1."
Su Jie said, "My life force has already reached 1.02."
Over 1?
Su Shilin immediately grasped Su Jie's arm, feeling the strength of his muscles and bones, and said in disbelief, "It really is 1. Could you be a genius?"
But if he were a genius, why hadn't he noticed before?
After all, Su Jie even struggled to enter deep sleep.
Su Jie offered a sheepish smile, "Well, Instructor Zhao Xinglong said that although I have no talent in deep sleep, I have an excellent talent in ancient martial arts. He even mentioned that I might skip the deep sleep stage and go straight into meditation."
Su Shilin looked baffled, "Training in martial arts is much more difficult than entering deep sleep, but since Zhao Xinglong said so, perhaps you do have such a talent."
Zhao Xinglong, whom Su Shilin knew, was a former student of Minglun Martial School and had even been a student of Chan Yinsha, a great master with a life force of 20.
To be honest, if one were to push time forward by a decade or two, having a life force between 2 and 3 would make one almost god-like.
Now, across the globe, there are nearly a hundred thousand people with a life force above 3. However, those with a life force above 4 have significantly decreased, only near a thousand, and above 7, nearly a hundred.
As for Minglun...
That is a special case, not included in this broad calculation.
"Dad, I want to enter the Taixu Illusory Realm," Su Jie said, somewhat nervously.
"The Primordial Planet?" Conte#nt- fi@r%st@ re^lea#sed on M._*VL+E+M_PYR.
Su Shilin had also heard about the real planets and sighed, "Minglun is becoming more and more powerful, even capable of developing extraterrestrial planets... I remember once sharing the stage with the principal of Minglun."
Su Jie curiously asked, "Dad, were you and the principal of Minglun classmates?"
Xu Ying answered, "Back in college, your dad was invited onstage by the principal of Minglun to bend steel bars with others. He ended up losing to a girl."
Cough, cough!
Su Shilin coughed twice, masking the embarrassment on his face, "That girl had a life force of over 2 at the time, how could I possibly have surpassed her?"
"Su Jie, I agree to your entering the Taixu Illusory Realm, but don't let it interfere with your studies," he said.
Seeing that Su Shilin agreed, Su Jie immediately assured, "Dad, as you know, my grades are among the best in my class. With the comprehensive improvement of my life force, how could I possibly be delayed?"
"That's good then," Su Shilin nodded and didn't say much else.
Su Jie said nothing more, quietly eating his meal.
The next day.
Su Jie went to school, requested a long leave as his life force was tested to be 1, and the school agreed unconditionally. He only needed to attend the midterm and final exams.
Afterward, he returned home, put on the Taixu Illusory Realm device developed by Minglun, and entered the Taixu Illusory Realm.
"This is amazing!"
In Minglun's summer training class, Su Jie had already entered three times, but still found it amazing.
His figure appeared in a void space, floating mid-air, with no up, no down, no left, no right, no front, no back, as if drifting in space.
This experience was indeed different from his experiences in Minglun.
In Minglun, there was clearly an up, down, left, right, front, and back, giving one the sensation of standing on solid ground.
Su Jie didn't mind, after all, in this space, he manifested his physical body through his spirit and wouldn't experience any feeling of heaviness or lightness, regardless of the pose he adopted.
With a casual wave of his hand, a vast array of three-dimensional effects appeared before him.
There were various game phantoms, and many derived from anime, films, and novels, all frighteningly realistic, like genuine worlds.
Even Su Jie had heard that if Sun Shisheng, the principal of Minglun Martial School, made another breakthrough, he could transform these phantoms into real worlds!
At that time, the Taixu Phantom Realm would truly become myriad real worlds!
However, these phantoms are not accessible to everyone.
Just like those derived from films, novels, and anime, to enter, one must pay, as their creation also involved Minglun buying copyrights.
Even for some popular IPs, just the names required hefty copyright fees.
Since Minglun had bought the copyrights, naturally, players would have to pay, and most players were more than willing.
Su Jie wasn't particularly interested in these illusory phantoms and searched for the real world he wanted to enter—Primordial Star.
It was a star as beautiful as Earth!
In front of Su Jie, all other three-dimensional scenes disappeared, leaving only a planet about half the size of his body, intertwining with blue, green, and white.
According to the information, Su Jie understood that this Primordial Star was three times the size of Earth, but under the influence of a special energy (Spiritual Energy), its gravity, air pressure, and air composition were the same as Earth's.
"Spiritual Energy, truly a peculiar existence!"
Su Jie exclaimed and clicked on the planet, wishing to enter it, but suddenly, a set of rules popped up above the planet:
[Primordial Star Entry Rules and Standards:]
[1. Upon entry, players randomly descend upon a tribe which may worship and revere them as divine beings.]
[2. Players can stay and develop the tribe or leave to become explorers.]
[3. Players must not attack the natives of the planet without reason.]
[4. Players...]
