Chapter 502: Chapter 386: The Banned Local Forces_2

This world also has people with inherent special powers and a corresponding cultivation system. Technological development isn’t quite like that of Hazy City; it seems some areas are severely neglected, but that’s not important right now. What matters is that in the next course of action, he just needs to avoid any interference.

Even if the natives can’t offer any help at all.

He hadn’t planned on asking the natives for any kind of help, given that he only had twenty-eight days.

"Let’s go," Zheng Yichen instructed Lilith to set the autopilot as he began to work on the projection screen. The environment outside the "Firmament" was in a state of imbalance, but the network was hardly affected and still functional.

The current page was a search engine, and after thinking for a bit, Zheng Yichen searched for games and novels, not that he really wanted to play games in this world, but to gauge the level of the world’s internet development through its entertainment sector.

When there are many online games and a lot of movies and novels, it means that the world’s internet usage is very widespread. Unlike the world of the fire dragon, where, even though there is a magic network, it’s like the telephones of Earth’s 1980s to commoners, reliable for calls but not as convenient for casually playing games or gathering information.

Most people can’t enjoy that convenience.

The search results showed that the internet in this world was quite advanced, with a multitude of entertainment offerings, and novels on some websites were still updating. However, most themes leaned toward "apocalypse". As for games, there was the direct development of virtual reality games... the kind where you could play all day with a gaming helmet, or even not log off for ten days to half a month.

These gaming devices appeared two years ago and immediately replaced most games on the market; many games migrated to this platform. It wasn’t like in some fictional VR novels where one game suddenly becomes popular with the entire human race.

There were quite a few categories of virtual reality games in this world, but Zheng Yichen noticed that the largest were only six games, and the rest were smaller VR games with not very high popularity.

With the emergence of these devices, many related products also changed, and various nutrient solutions sprouted like mushrooms after the rain. These weren’t expensive, but they could ensure that users maintained their physical state over long periods without activity deteriorating their health.

The high-end nutrient solutions could even allow users to get stronger while lying down, but from Zheng Yichen’s perspective, the degree of enhancement was negligible, at most not exceeding the human limit. The most cost-effective ones were those that maintained the current physical state.

There were many brands of gaming pods and helmets, just like mobile phones and computers.

"This really looks like a virtual gaming world, no wonder we didn’t see many people when we left that city..." Zheng Yichen shook his head after finishing the information, "Is this the pre-apocalyptic frenzy?"

Lilith’s projection appeared, floating next to Zheng Yichen’s projection screen, and she said, "Boss, this helps reduce resource consumption. The environment in this world is unbalanced. Within my energy monitoring range, I can confirm that the energy in the environment is in a diluted state... akin to ’Oblivion’."

"Oblivion, huh..." Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue. He had witnessed the obliteration of a world with his own eyes, with no earth-shattering explosions or overwhelming spectacles, just everything slowly fading to darkness, the last lights disappearing, and everything vanishing in oblivion.

"VR games allow ordinary people to stay in a low-consumption state, and this world’s production does not need many people to complete, while also reducing public security issues, more effectively consolidating resources... Alright, I’ve been thinking too simply," Zheng Yichen muttered, looking at the new search results.

There was one thing he didn’t mention, that this world was truly doomed, at least most people could ’die’ unknowingly.

"How is the energy recovery?"

"Very slow, only a third of the recovery rate that the current environment should have, but all functions can still be used at full capacity."

"So it’s very slow just to be alone?" Zheng Yichen smacked his lips, giving the projection of the girl in the black dress beside him an extra glance. Was this a hint to promptly upgrade the motorcycle’s hardware?

Liu Hongzhao had also mentioned privately that the AI installed in the motorcycle seemed to have issues. But in Zheng Yichen’s view, if it were a rigid artificial intelligence, it would just be a tool. Now, with such lifelike behavior, he could only be more satisfied.

It’s pretty boring to be on a mission alone for a long time.

Lilith explained, "It’s the convenience brought by the environment, this world has a high upper limit, and even in an adverse state, it’s better and stronger than a low-standard environment."

"But colder when it gets cold."

"Because the environment is high-grade, high-quality, the ’vacuum’ created when it’s unbalanced is stronger."

"That makes sense," Zheng Yichen nodded. In the previous world, which was targeted by the Devouring Faction, the cold in the environment had little effect on him. While others bundled up in heavy cotton, he could disregard the cold in his regular clothes without feeling uncomfortable.
