Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 5: Infinite Possibilities
Xu Jingming looked at the surrounding scenery. He was standing in a spaceship. Through the huge glass window, he could see the strange starry sky outside. In the near distance, there were extremely huge stars burning, and the flames were rising again and again. In the distance, there was a black hole, which was surrounded by a dazzling crescent-shaped halo, and in the center was a black shadow.
There are also various celestial bodies such as neutron stars and white dwarfs scattered in the surrounding starry sky.
"Hello, Xu Jingming." A gentle voice sounded, and a woman in a black uniform appeared in the cabin of the spacecraft. She had long light green hair, fair skin, light green patterns on her face and forehead, and a pair of pupils like gems.
"I am your virtual world network guide." The woman smiled and said, "This is your first time logging into the virtual world network. I will give you a brief introduction to the virtual world network."
"Thank you." Xu Jingming said.
"The space you are in now is your personal space," the woman said. "Every time you log in, you will enter directly here. The personal space is a sphere with a diameter of ten kilometers! You can set up any scene for free, it can be a spaceship, the sea, the desert, the depths of a black hole... any scene you can imagine, you can set it up as you like."
"As for stars, black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs and other celestial bodies beyond a diameter of ten kilometers, they are just scenery and can be viewed from a distance. You cannot approach or touch them." The woman said, "Of course, you can pay to greatly expand the scope of your personal space."
Xu Jingming nodded.
The Blue Star civilization also has a virtual world and personal space, which he has been familiar with for a long time.
"Click here and you can open your personal dashboard," the woman said. "You can see your personal information."
The operation method is exactly the same. Xu Jingming clicks lightly, and the information of the citizens of the universe appears.
Name: Xu Jingming
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Hunter Universe, Wu Gou Star Alliance, Blue Star Civilization
Life: The Beginning of Starry Sky Life
Education: None
Account balance: 1,000,000 Universe Coins
Xu Jingming looked at the message and secretly sighed: "One million universe coins is the reward for the first place in the global competition! For the still very weak Blue Star civilization, it is already a huge gift."
"Educational qualifications? None?" Xu Jingming asked.
"Because you didn't take the academic qualification exam." The woman explained, "Only by passing the exam can your academic qualification points be confirmed and your academic qualification level be determined. Academic qualification... is very important to every citizen of the universe!"
"Where will the academic qualification exam be taken? What will the exam be about?" Xu Jingming was curious.
"You can apply for academic qualifications exams at any time on the virtual world network," the woman said. "Academic qualifications exams are divided into many categories, among which humanities are auxiliary. Even if you get full marks in theory, practice, and other subjects, you can only reach the 60th level of academic qualifications at most. For science and technology, there is no upper limit for points! The more advanced the science and technology, the higher the points, 100, 120... There is no upper limit!"
"The Cosmic Human Alliance has set a rule that if a person's education level reaches level 50 and he is a planetary life, the Cosmic Human Alliance will upgrade him to a 'space life' free of charge. If his education level reaches level 100, the Cosmic Human Alliance will upgrade him to a 'source life' free of charge." The woman smiled.
"Directly improved through external force?" Xu Jingming was amazed.
He knew that the ninth level was the source of life, which was a level of life above starry sky life.
It is enough to surpass an elementary civilization in the universe as an individual.
The road to the ninth level is very difficult!
However, talents with an academic level of 100, no matter how weak they are, can be upgraded to source life through external forces.
"The cost of upgrading from planetary life to space life through external forces is not high." The woman said, "In the entire universe human alliance, 91.5% of the space citizens have become space life through external forces."
“But the price of becoming a source of life through external forces is extremely high!” said the woman.
"How high is the price?" Xu Jingming asked curiously.
"I'm not too sure." The woman said, "But I can be sure that even if you sell the entire Milky Way where your hometown is, it will still not be enough. It is very difficult to become a 'Ninth-Order Source Life' through evolution and cultivation, but it is even more difficult to become a Source Life by force."
Xu Jingming understood.
"Although the price is extremely high, talents with academic qualifications above level 100 are even more valuable." The woman said, "The Universal Human Alliance values each of these talents very much, so naturally they will greatly extend their lifespans."
"Ordinary star life has a lifespan of 3,000 years. But source life has a lifespan of 30,000 years. These talents have a greatly improved lifespan, and can go further on the road of science and make greater contributions to the entire human race. Even if the cost of upgrading to source life through external forces is high, it is worth it." The woman smiled at Xu Jingming, "In fact, even for warriors on the evolutionary path, academic qualifications will be very important after they become level nine. Only outstanding wisdom can make the evolutionary path go further."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Citizen information has separate columns for "life" and "education " to show their importance.
"The personal space has many other functions," the woman guided. "It can be used for training, fighting, transferring money, spending, investing, etc. The universe is also full of countless investment opportunities."
"Invest?" Xu Jingming looked at his one million cosmic coins and decided not to think too much about it. He should first work hard to invest in himself!
"Please look here."
The woman nodded gently.
Wow——
Suddenly, countless shrunken virtual worlds appeared.
"There are countless virtual worlds on the Virtual World Network." The woman said, "For example, the largest category, Life Evolution, is also ranked at the top of these life worlds."
Xu Jingming took a look and saw the names of these worlds of shrunken life.
For example, the game world of 'Life Evolution', the game world of 'Dark Abyss'... the world of swordsmen, the world of swordsmen... the world of ultimate assassins...
"The Universal Human Alliance has always used virtual worlds to guide the evolution of the citizens of the universe." The woman introduced, "There are many kinds of worlds that assist evolution. Some are free to enter, while others require payment. You can study them slowly."
“These virtual worlds in the second row are all academic related,” the woman pointed.
Xu Jingming looked at the names of the virtual worlds one by one.
Infinite Scholar Road, Destroying the Universe with Bare Hands, Holy Land of Science, Apprentice World, Millennium Interstellar War...
"The third row is a virtual world built by various groups, such as a certain civilization, a certain group, a certain sect, a certain school... Various groups can build their own virtual worlds." The woman said, "For example, if you want to learn martial arts, you will have a teacher to teach you personally! You can enter a certain sect or martial arts school, but different groups have different thresholds. Most of them only require payment, but a few have strength requirements."
"There are also various virtual worlds of consumption and entertainment..."
The woman pointed to the rest, "There are countless virtual worlds. You can slowly explore them according to the categories."
"My introduction ends here. If you have any questions, you can call me." The woman smiled slightly, and her figure faded away.
Xu Jingming sighed secretly, and then began to check out many virtual worlds.
Gently touch each virtual world, there is an introduction and some things to know.
"To enter this world, you need to pay 1 million universe coins?" Xu Jingming was shocked when he touched a sect world. "This is too expensive."
I only have one million in total.
Just as he was mumbling and investigating, he suddenly received a prompt.
Xu Jingming nodded gently.
"Director Zhou?" Xu Jingming was slightly surprised, and Director Zhou came here.
"Jingming, how do you feel about logging into the virtual world for the first time?" Director Zhou said with a smile.
"I'm dazzled." Xu Jingming said.
Director Zhou nodded: "The Universal Human Alliance is indeed ambitious. This virtual world contains countless knowledge and countless guides for evolution. As long as you have enough talent, you can continue to grow!"
Xu Jingming nodded.
He also saw endless possibilities!
"I'm here today to tell you something," Director Zhou said. "After discussions in the Blue Star Alliance and internal deliberations within Xia Country, we finally invited Mr. Pang Ze to be your agent! I wonder if you will accept."
"Pang Ze?" Xu Jingming was a little confused. "Is he Pang Yun's father?"
Among the people he knew, there was only Pang Ze.
"Yes."
Director Zhou nodded, "Pang Ze is the richest cosmic citizen of our Blue Star Civilization! All his wealth is obtained from the virtual world network, and he is also the one with the highest academic qualifications in Blue Star Civilization. His talent in academic qualifications is no less than your talent in the path of evolution!"
