Chapter 1088: Chapter 795: Infinitely Close to Reality

A half minute before the team wipe, those players were still puzzled—why would someone with this kind of foundation and background wait until now to start leveling up??

In the Virtual World, reaching max level isn’t easy, but gaining access to the Virtual World is effortless. Generally speaking, children can start interacting with the Virtual World as early as first grade in elementary school.

Not only is teaching efficiency higher in the Virtual World, but plenty of hands-on practical lessons can be conducted immediately—advantages that no real-world environment can rival. Plus, students earn some experience points while attending classes.

Although the experience points gained during learning aren’t much, they ensure that kids can graduate college at around Level 30.

The Virtual World is deeply integrated into every household.

Therefore, for an adult—starting at age 18—with basic effort, reaching max level by age 25 is pretty much guaranteed.

Those who progress faster can reach max level before age 20.

Zheng Yichen is clearly over 20 years old. With this kind of background, why start leveling up now? Could it be that he’s a reincarnated player? But here’s the catch—no one willingly chooses to reincarnate as a human.

Wouldn’t that just be a waste of effort?

The appraisal skill doesn’t lie. Zheng Yichen is, right now, human.

"Better than yesterday, but that’s about it," said Tanshia Firlo as she landed from the air, gazing at the cat spirit rubbing itself against Zheng Yichen’s feet.

The cat spirit at Zheng Yichen’s feet climbed onto his shoulder, shrinking further in size until it resembled a kitten. It lounged lazily atop his shoulder.

"But it’s more targeted now, so that’s not bad," Zheng Yichen replied, glancing at his win streak buff. This battle had also been recorded, adding further to his win streak benefits.

His experience point gain rate had increased by an additional 17%, which wasn’t insignificant—especially since some kills only boosted it by a few percentage points.

"Let’s go, let’s go. No point wasting time here."

With that, Zheng Yichen spoke and left the area alongside Tanshia Firlo. Not long after they departed, a figure appeared on the scene, inspecting the surroundings. Finding nothing noteworthy, the individual left, visibly frustrated.

Inside one of the Virtual World’s chat rooms, a dozen Boundary Breakers were exchanging updates about their current situations.

"A new star player has surfaced, but it’s still unclear whether they’re Dusk mercenaries or Proxy Agents."

In the chat room, two photographs were displayed—revealing Zheng Yichen and Tanshia Firlo. However, their appearances differed slightly from Zheng Yichen himself due to Lilith’s long-lasting projection disguises, even under low environmental settings.

"Let’s make contact again."

"...Fine, but the groups of players we’ve gathered these past few times have been utterly useless, posing no real threat to them," one Boundary Breaker in the chat room nodded.

They had recently become highly focused on star players—those whose outstanding performances warranted the title, whether through rapid level-ups or consistently pulling off major feats.

This type of player was highly likely to be Dusk mercenaries or Proxy Agents.

They had encountered such cases before.

Those Dusk mercenaries, after failing to destroy the Virtual World from the real world, had shifted their efforts to attacking it from inside.

They possessed experts who had identified a unique inner core within the Virtual World and sought to exploit it as a means to indirectly wreck the place.

However, the Boundary Breakers understood the Virtual World far better and naturally wouldn’t provide an opening for the Dusk mercenaries. On home turf, their failure was inevitable.

As for their assaults in reality, this world’s technology wasn’t lacking. Coupled with its restrictive environment, the Dusk mercenaries’ efforts in the real world achieved virtually nothing of substance.

Not only had their multiple attacks failed, but they’d also lost quite a few operatives.

As for high-end weapons, whatever the Dusk mercenaries could muster, the Boundary Breakers could counter. The Virtual World’s safeguards represented the absolute pinnacle of this world’s defensive measures. Even if a full-blown apocalyptic war occurred, the Virtual World’s central systems would remain intact.

Besides... the Dusk mercenaries had focused their attacks on the wrong targets from the very beginning. The locations they were hitting were merely decoys—the true central systems of the Virtual World were extraordinarily well-hidden.

The Boundary Breakers didn’t dare assume that the Dusk mercenaries wouldn’t somehow deploy even more dangerous super high-tech weapons, so they not only boosted security but also played a game of hide-and-seek using camouflage measures.

On such a vast planet, locating the Virtual World’s central systems was no easy task.

Thus, their only realistic option was targeting the Virtual World from within. But the Virtual World was a data-driven realm, and those with sufficient permissions held significant advantages.

For the Dusk mercenaries to come after them here was akin to battling against "Hell difficulty." Even with professional hackers, they could only gain minor advantages.

The Virtual World’s core was extraordinarily unique. No matter how much the Dusk mercenaries infiltrated, they could only interact with the outer layer of data.

They couldn’t genuinely access the Virtual World’s core.

Even the Boundary Breakers couldn’t completely interfere with the Virtual World—not because of a lack of intent, but because of the inherent nature of the Virtual World’s core. It originated from the Great World, crafted as a singular artifact.

Unlike ordinary online games, which operate at a far simpler scale, how could such systems serve as the Boundary Breaking core?
