Chapter 986: Chapter 713: Must Have First

Staring at his empty palm, as if he could see a cellphone there, this could be understood as the locals seeing projections or AR-enhanced cellphones through the ’Eye’.

But Zheng Yichen saw traces of them actually holding something in their hands; they really had a nearly substantial ’cellphone’, or perhaps something else.

Zheng Yichen snapped his fingers, instructing Lilith to fully activate the simulation, and then new changes occurred within his field of vision.

The people who were staring into the air now had cellphones or other objects in their hands, and those who reached out into the air were working on computers, conducting their daily work. Zheng Yichen, with his keen vision, took a quick glance and recognized one of them as an online writer.

Around him, some ’communication’ messages could also be seen, circling around Zheng Yichen in small characters. These messages, friend requests, wouldn’t appear without Lilith’s simulation disguise in effect.

And the people making the friend requests wouldn’t receive any response, therefore they regarded Zheng Yichen with strange looks.

It felt akin to seeing a primitive person, uh... as if in an era where everyone has a cellphone, suddenly there was someone without a cellphone, ID card, or any electronic devices.

Moreover, the person doesn’t use online payments for anything, which, although not a big issue, made them feel somewhat out of place.

Such abnormalities were even more obvious in this world.

Fortunately, after Lilith conducted the relevant simulation disguises, such situations no longer existed.

Zheng Yichen casually browsed through a friend request message, and remarked casually: "Is it so casual to make friends in this world? Or is it because White is very popular here?"

When he came to this side, he slightly adjusted the state of the cat spirit cloak. The cat spirit now had the active state of the World Tree leaves, capable of changes like any other World Tree battle suit.

As a result, the original cloak form was transformed into a long coat, which in a modernized world, looked perfectly normal to others, and moreover, could conceal quite a few dangerous items within.

"BOSS, please don’t underestimate your own charm," came the response.

"Hahaha, am I really that impressive?" Zheng Yichen grinned and laughed, rejecting the friend request messages. He was here on business, not specifically to make friends.

Moreover, the mission this time was on a tight schedule, with only ten days. Who knows what’s going on with this world, for him to be delayed to such an extent; at least give himself half a month’s time, right?

Zheng Yichen also suspected that the photos attached with those friend requests didn’t match the actual appearance of the people because after the complete simulation disguise was activated, he could see a lot of things that he normally wouldn’t be able to see.

Everything seemed garish and overly embellished, including the clothes people were wearing, the accessories they had on, the hairstyles, and so on, wholly belonging to a different world, yet in all those changes, there was no sense of any ’special effects’ at all.

Even if the strength level of this world was not high enough, and his vision weakened, his Eyes still possessed the Illusion-Breaking effect... well, maybe the Illusion-Breaking didn’t play any significant role here.

What he was now seeing was just the synchronous projection created by Lilith, who herself has the Godhead and World Tree strengthening, making her projections as real as they come.

"Does this count as the whole population being immersed in illusions?" After leaving the Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but comment upon observing the situation on the streets.

In the Dusk Cathedral, it seemed okay, but the situation outside was more exaggerated. While maintaining the simulation disguise, Lilith also marked out problematic targets for Zheng Yichen.

It cannot be said that they were problematic, but these people’s use of objects like ’air phones’ was similar to that; cellphones and the like are one thing, but key is that there are people riding ’air bicycles’...

This works too??

Zheng Yichen was taken aback by such actions and realized a few issues. Firstly, this world has an energy level up to Level 5, and so far, all the people he has encountered were ordinary. But in such an environment, were those people truly ordinary?

It’s like the Oath world he once encountered. The Oath Keepers are almost no different from ordinary people outside the range of their Oaths, but within the scope of an Oath, they are genuine powerhouses.

A simple switch, just changing the environment one is in and the tasks at hand is enough.

Is it the same here?

Under normal perception, they are ordinary people. However, on another level, these people might become similar to ’mages’.

After all, playing with an air phone is one thing, but now Lilith could use projection to directly create a bunch of phones for Zheng Yichen. Yet, in another ’world’ within this world, people riding air bicycles and driving air cars randomly about is just freaking outrageous!

His Lilith can indeed do that, but just what is Lilith’s status?

"No good, I have to go buy a few ’Eyes’ first. Lilith, can you check through the accounts that nobody uses?"

"BOSS, the account usage in this world is different from other worlds; you need to earn money yourself," Lilith, retaining her chibi form while perched on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, said somewhat helplessly.

In another world, it would be quite easy for Zheng Yichen to become a tycoon; a single ’thought’ from her could accomplish these, but the personal accounts in this world are very special, with very unique ’verification’, and every bit of ’money’ is unique.

Lilith could open a unique account for Zheng Yichen and change the numbers within, but the money inside would not be recognized and used as real money, remaining just a bunch of useless numbers.

"There’s such a thing? Is this some kind of encryption?"

Zheng Yichen was curious about the encryption model of currency in this world, especially since Lilith had undergone a major upgrade after coming into contact with an extraterrestrial operating system. Yet, even so, she was unable to modify the accounts in this world?

Is the encryption system that formidable?

"No, it’s just that the currency authentication here is different, it’s like personal DNA, the currency has a similar binding."

"Alright, then let’s make some money first."

Tanshia Firlo sitting in Zheng Yichen’s lap asked curiously, "How do we earn money?"

"Hmm, dragon scales are treasures, I think someone will definitely be interested."

The small white dragon rolled its eyes and bit into Zheng Yichen’s arm. Zheng Yichen winced slightly; it was a bit painful, despite his Vajra Body physique being passively enhanced.

Tanshia Firlo also realized the change brought by the low-energy environment and quickly let go, gently blowing on the spot she bit on Zheng Yichen’s arm: "I’m sorry."

In other high-energy worlds, such actions would not have any impact on Zheng Yichen at all.

But in a low-energy environment, the dragon’s teeth could easily leave marks on his arm.

Low-energy worlds are really too dangerous!

"Hahaha." Zheng Yichen reached out and pinched Tanshia Firlo’s face: "Making money is easy, let’s head to the target city first."

There’s no rush to make money, they first needed to check out the target to be cleared this time. As for other situations in this world, they could look into them on the way, there’s no hurry.

Zheng Yichen was also very curious about the situation in this world...

On their way, Lilith gradually revealed a lot of special information to Zheng Yichen. The network in this world was very developed, similar to Chiang Wei’s world, covering the globe without any weak signal areas.

"BOSS, you can participate in some competitions, but there’s one problem that needs to be solved."

While looking at the regular small movies from this world that Lilith had turned up, Zheng Yichen asked, "What problem?"

"You need to set up a real local account."

"Then let’s do it, don’t I have local information?" This time, Zheng Yichen came to this world through the normal procedures, and the current state of this world is quite normal, not a post-apocalyptic type world that doesn’t require identity.

Therefore, Tia had prepared the necessary personal identity documents for him. In this world, physical documents are not necessary; all related documents are electronic.

Otherwise, with the technology in this world, he would have trouble even getting out of the city, being directly caught as an undocumented person.

The information Lilith turned up gave Zheng Yichen a deeper understanding of this world.

Things like air cars and mobile phones cannot be created unconditionally; this world has related laws for the purpose of ensuring the stability of the dual-layered world.

Everything brought about by ’Eye’ technology is closely related to reality, interconnected, so you cannot focus on one layer of the world and neglect the more tangible real world because of the existence of the ’Eye’.

Nor can you suppress the ’Eye World’ by focusing solely on reality, both should interact and develop together for improvement.

People who use air mobile phones have already purchased such phones; they just don’t want to carry the physical phone when going out. Ditto for those driving cars — they have a car at home. As for creating such cars, it could save on fuel costs... well, there are electronic fuel costs.

As for people feeling cheated after buying a car, that’s not an issue, they can drive their physical cars on the street if they don’t want to pay electronic fuel costs.

The reason for using ’air cars’ is simply for convenience, right?

You can leave your car at home without fueling it, and drive the ’Eye’ linked car to work without looking for a parking spot afterward, and the sensation is the same as driving a real car.

Apart from such things, the usage of other everyday items like washing machines, microwaves, etc., is probably similar. Airplanes, artillery, and other combat weapons are primarily physical. The ’Eye World’ versions of these items are much more fragile, fine for daily use but not suitable for war...

Houses... houses definitely need to be physical, it’s not about making do with a container house, so in short, this world’s dual-layered nature is governed by many related laws.

"Having local identity information but no account, accounts need to be linked to the ’Eye’."

"But I don’t have an ’Eye’," Zheng Yichen said while looking at the money-making information Lilith pulled up, the corners of his mouth twitching. This was an ’offline’ combat competition that didn’t require assistance from an ’Eye’, taking place within the Eye World.

Winning could net a substantial sum of money to purchase a better ’Eye’, but right now, he had no ’Eye’.
