Chapter 987: Chapter 714: As Much As You Need

To participate in the competition, one must first have a personal account, and to have a personal account, one must have an ’Eye’ for transactions. The Eye is akin to a free vaccine given to newborns, available to everyone.

If it’s lost before the age of eighteen, one can apply for a loss report, but generally, it doesn’t get lost since losing it is like having your eyeballs dug out—how often could that happen?

It’s also possible to report it lost after turning eighteen, but then one would need to work for a period of time to acquire a basic version of the ’Eye,’ which is like an old-fashioned, cheap but functional mobile phone.

This work period is at least a month, after which one not only gets a basic version of the Eye but also some extra wages.

Zheng Yichen would never do such a thing; he only has ten days.

In short, the Eye is crucial. Without it, one doesn’t exactly grind to a halt, but it definitely places one at a lower echelon than locals, unable to accomplish many things since items inside the Eye World aren’t edible.

Survival still largely relies on acquiring food and drink from the real environment. While many aspects of the Eye World can substitute those of the real world, some parts still predominantly rely on reality.

Because of this world’s laws that allow everyone access to the Eye World, the reality of this world remains rich and varied, whether in terms of architecture or other developmental aspects, preventing it from appearing empty and monotonous.

The filter of the Eye World is extremely powerful; even if everything in reality is made very simplistic and cost-effective, viewed through the ’Eye,’ it can still appear luxurious.

However, what’s fake remains fake, but this world hasn’t ignored the critical basics due to the convenience brought by the ’Eye.’

Yet they haven’t overlooked these critical basics, making it difficult for Zheng Yichen to do certain things.

A slightly problematic vicious cycle...

"Forget it, it’s not really that difficult. Wherever there are people, there are all sorts of problems."

Zheng Yichen sifted through the information collected by Lilith and found some ’illegal industries’; if he didn’t have an account, he would just make offline transactions.

"There shouldn’t be any problem with offline transactions, let’s just go with that and find a place that allows it." Zheng Yichen made up his mind. Although Lilith could simulate and disguise in the world of the Eye, it’s ultimately not truly involving people in the Eye World.

Through the information collected by Lilith, Zheng Yichen also noticed some abnormal components; the purpose and original intention of offline combat competitions is to enhance the sense of reality, while many other fights take place inside the Eye World.

Also, many criminals in this world are masters in the Eye World.

The Eye World can interfere with reality; otherwise, things like air mobile phones and cars wouldn’t normally function in the real layer.

"Alright, boss." Lilith immediately sorted out a great deal of useful information for Zheng Yichen. There were numerous pathways for offline transactions, like some people’s second-hand ’Eye’ devices.

But binding a second-hand Eye also requires some procedures; to put it simply, this world has numerous laws concerning the ’Eye’, and a second-hand ’Eye’ would be locked, unusable by others except the original owner.

For transactions, one must go to a nearby convenience office for unlock registration, aimed at preventing criminals from using second-hand ’Eyes’ for illegal activities.

But where there are laws, there are always those who challenge them. Even with stringent laws that tightly restrict related transaction processes, there are still plenty of black ’Eyes’ around.

Professional hackers would unlock these devices for forced use.

"Hm... the Illusory Spirit series has reached its 13th generation, while the Demon Spirit series is still at the 10th generation... just how big is the performance difference between the two?" Zheng Yichen observed the information on the projection screen.

Lilith had found him the best intelligence; she didn’t want Zheng Yichen to use those low-quality, second or more hand ’Eyes.’

"The performance difference is within 5%, but the 13th generation Illusory Spirit’s Eyes have higher intelligent assistance. The 10th generation Demon Spirit’s have an obvious disadvantage in intelligent assistance, but if the operator’s abilities are superior, its effects can surpass the 13th generation Illusory Spirit."

Zheng Yichen nodded, "So the performance of the Illusory Spirit 13th generation is better than that of the Demon Spirit?"

"It’s the Demon Spirit that’s better than the Illusory Spirit."

"... No wonder the Illusory Spirit series has reached the 13th generation." Zheng Yichen scoffed, then decided he’d take every type.

"Let’s go, let’s find a buyer."

Fortunately, the buyer’s location was in the city he intended to visit. As for the items for offline trading, he brought a lot of good stuff, like some Magic Potions that are also effective in this world.

With a Level 5 energy level environment, Magic Potions, which prioritize the energy environment over intensity, are fairly robust.

Upon arriving at the destined city, Zheng Yichen first noticed people driving air cars and patrolling traffic police, although these officers were using solid-state vehicles.

Law enforcement officials are not allowed to use ethereal items while on duty, whether these items are vehicles or weapons, they must be tangible.

"Nice car, where did you buy it?" Zheng Yichen looked at the message that appeared beside him. If it wasn’t for Lilith’s simulation disguise, he truly wouldn’t have seen it. The source of the message was a patrolling traffic cop...

"Custom-made." Zheng Yichen casually replied through Lilith, appearing calm and not at all like someone about to engage in the black market.

The place Zheng Yichen was heading to had many disguises, which could only be bypassed smoothly after being decrypted by Lilith, representing a dual-layer protection of reality and the Eye World. The more he learned about the Eye World, the more intrigued Zheng Yichen became.

Especially in combat, there’s almost no possibility of comparing someone with an ’Eye’ to someone without.

To put it this way, a confrontation between the two is akin to a warrior without charge and fast-entry skills versus a Mage with full control and attack skills.

Not to mention offline combat, Zheng Yichen has watched several combat videos of the Eye World through Lilith, which were very impressive.

It was truly the level of a world of Mages, and in some aspects, it was even more versatile than magic.

During movement, a powerful springboard can be directly formed on the ground, or rocket packs can be attached to the body among other gadgets that could be used. As for attacks, shaping rocket launchers with their hands, throwing fireballs, or even using bottled unknown chemical potions as projectiles.

Watching was quite spectacular to Zheng Yichen, similar to playing a video game; however, it was not a game, as online combat matches could reduce damage but are usually not fatal.

But if in other aspects of combat, attacks that seem flashy yet impractical would actually entail lethal harm.

Without an Eye, it means that person would be extremely passive against a warrior equipped with an ’Eye’, unable to even discern the type of attack, let alone respond to it.

Thus, both in daily life and in combat, the ’Eye’ has become a necessity for this world; everything else might be less important, but not this.

"Such a fun thing." Tanshia Firlo’s eyes sparkled as she toyed with a projection screen, the combat videos further increasing her interest in the ’Eye’.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yichen had another idea; the ’Eye’ in this world is an important medium showing energy levels, which might be related to the physical qualities of the people here or other reasons.

Similar to the Oath World, those without an Oath are just commoners and can’t wield any special power. Although the energy level and strength in that world are not low, possessing an Oath allows one to become superhuman.

The situation in this world is probably similar to that of the Oath World, right?

Incidentally, the ’Eye’ in this world has a history of more than 300 years. Three hundred years ago, this world was very ordinary, like a Level 2 strength world without any energy levels.

After removing all parts related to special power in the Misty City World, Misty City would be quite equivalent to this place.

But 300 years ago, someone discovered the ’truth’ of the world, created the first ’Eye’; although that kind of ’Eye’ was like comparing the modern computer with the earliest difference engine, it was already a first step for the development of Eye World in this world.

With 300 years of developmental history, it likely wasn’t something created by the Boundary Breakers. After arriving at the targeted location, Zheng Yichen placed Tanshia Firlo into an internal space, with Lilith’s disguise protecting this action from being observed by others.

"Who are you?" A robot wrapped up tightly stared at Zheng Yichen; this individual seemed to be a robot, but the life force emitted revealed his identity.

It was just a human cosplaying as a robot.

However, this layer of ’skin’ was highly deceptive, making one really think it was a robot at a glance.

"I want the 13th generation Illusory Spirit and the 10th generation Demon Spirit, as many as you have." Zheng Yichen directly stated his purpose.

"...Come with me." The individual disguised as a robot looked at Zheng Yichen again, without saying much more.

Anyone who could bypass the extensive disguises and protections to get here was likely a peer. Moreover, since the other party had already arrived, refusal was pointless; it was better to take him to where the black goods were handled.

If it’s a regular trade, then everyone is happy. If not, there’s still room to maneuver on the home ground.

Regarding Zheng Yichen saying that he wanted as many as possible... Well, if it’s a regular trade, that’s good as cracked ’Eyes’ are hard to sell; they are not something ordinary people can use.

Ordinary people don’t need it, no one will pay attention to those who are officially registered to use ’Eyes’, everyone has them so there’s not so much attention to spare.

Only ’Eye’ users who haven’t registered attract attention; therefore, cracked ’Eyes’ are not for ordinary people, and when used, an extra layer of disguise is needed, which is not a skill ordinary people possess.
