Su Yang clicked on the [Virtual Space] icon and the aerial view of the Virtual Space appeared in front of him once again. Just like before, this aerial view was still cartoonish. However, the originally barren land now had many more additional symbols which the previous time did not have.
Some had a cartoonish symbol of a silver mountain, some had a symbol of a blue river, some had jungle symbols of a few small trees, and some had completely blue sea symbols…
Su Yang took a closer look and realized that this was no different from the location he saw in the virtual space. It was also no different from the environment in the southeastern corner of Socot Island in the real world.
‘Looks like this is the new map of the virtual space.’
On the right side of the map, there were other icons where the [Virtual Space Shop] used to be.
On it, there were [Daily Production], [Virtual Space Buildings], and [Virtual Space Environment].
Together with [Virtual Space Shop], there were four icons arranged neatly.
Su Yang clicked on the first icon, [Virtual Space Shop]. ‘As I expected, there are many additional things in here.
‘Other than [Goldfish Bearing Pond], [Magical Mushroom Forest], [Snow Mountain Filled With Snow Monsters], there are a lot more modern buildings added here.’
[Satellite Launching Rocket Base: 129,999…]
[Cellphone Development Factory: 199,999…]
[Large Ship Construction Dock: 399,999…]
‘There are so many other manufacturing factories in here.’
When Su Yang saw the buildings, he was pleasantly surprised. However, when he saw the price of the buildings, he was shocked!
‘F*cking h*ll!
‘There’re so many 9s’ here, who could possibly afford this?!!
‘Even the cheapest one costs 130,000 coins, are you even planning to sell it to me, you stupid system?!’
After he calmed down, Su Yang looked at the price list of the buildings and calculated. ‘If… I work hard and earn more coins, I should be able to afford 1 or 2 buildings in my lifetime, shouldn’t I?.
‘Why don’t I… try reducing my expenses?’
While Su Yang was hesitating, he clicked on another option to have a look.
Sequentially, he opened up [Daily Production].
In the end, he realized that on top, it had [Virtual Space Daily Production: Coins*300, Snow Monster Fur*10 tufts, Small Liquid Metal*3…] stated.
Nothing else.
‘There are only 2 things here.
‘I’m actually gaining a fixed amount of coins after descending the virtual space? This is great!
‘Also, those snow monsters actually provides products as well?
‘Fur?
‘What’s that for?’
Then, Su Yang clicked on [Snow Monster Fur] to see what it could do.
[Snow Monster Fur: This fur is the source of the snow monster’s special ability. The special ability of the snow monsters are hidden in their fur. 1000 tufts of fur can be woven into a wool coat which has magical effects. Adding points to the fur can directly activate the special ability.]
Su Yang was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed.
However, he was not overjoyed because the fury was powerful, but because Su Yang had finally verified his thoughts!
‘As expected, these monster races have their own built-in special abilities in parts of their body.
‘However, it was possible that the special ability they possess is an “inanimate object”, whereby the ability cannot be used after it leaves their body. But, I only need to add a point onto it to activate the ability.
‘In other words, I’m really able to mass produce the same kind of special item in the future!
‘This is too awesome!’
What was even more impressive was that Su Yang tested that new function of the virtual space and realized that… ‘This is exactly the same as the time when I was planting Little Monster Beans in the virtual space, it was all a fool’s operation.
‘Previously, I had to sneak into the Quickgold Monster’s room and steal liquid metal when they weren’t paying attention. I also had to be careful not to make a mistake and take the Quickgold Moonster’s egg by mistake.
‘However, now that I have this new function in the virtual space, everything is extremely convenient. All I need to do is to click on [Collect] and an animated scene pops up, basically collecting the liquid metals and also shaving the snow monsters.
‘All the resources will be retrieved within moments.
‘This is absolutely convenient!’
‘However… after Su Yang complimented it, he felt that the function was somewhat familiar…
‘Isn’t this QQ Farm?!
‘If that’s the case… The function where I was able to directly plant Little Monster Beans would exactly be QQ Farm!
‘F*ck! For some reason, I feel like I’ve been influenced by a locally-produced web-based game…’
After looking at the two main functions, Su Yang looked at [Virtual Space Buildings] and [Virtual Space Environment]. ‘This is the 3D visual function of the mobile building and environment that I just experienced.
‘The only difference is that the previous experience was free, but this time, I’m being charged for it. If I want to change the environment or buildings through the system, I would have to pay a fee.
‘The price charge is linked to the difficulty level…
‘Everything requires money! This lousy system has turned money-grubbing now.’
However, all in all, Su Yang was satisfied with the changes in the virtual space.
‘I suppose it was worth it to spend over 30,000 coins to build such a large base in the real world. Even without the additional functions, it would probably have cost me tens of millions of yuan to plant a pasture and build a castle on a deserted island in Hawaii.’
Just as Su Yang finished reading the list in the virtual space, the two Little Deenys finally came back to their senses.
The two of them looked at each other before turning to look at their master. “Master, have you seen the changes after the virtual space descended?”
It was rare for Little Deeny to take the initiative to talk to Su Yang. Su Yang nodded immediately. “I’ve seen it. It’s amazing.”
Both Little Deenys shook their heads. “No, Master, you still don’t know the most amazing thing about this virtual space.”
Su Yang asked curiously, “What’s it then?”
Little Deeny waved her hand, and the clone next to her suddenly disappeared with a soft pop, replaced by a rectangular piece of glass.
Then, Little Deeny bent down to pick up the piece of glass and walked towards Su Yang. She passed the glass to Su Yang and said, “Master, look. This is my clone’s extension.”
Su Yang was shocked. “Extension?!”
Little Deeny said, “That’s right. I just accepted the changes in the virtual space and realized that the virtual space requires my main body to anchor in the real world, so my main body is currently unable to leave the range of the virtual space.”
“However, my clones can be split into different extensions for my master to use.”
“In the future, as long as you bring my extension with you, not only can you use all of my existing functions, you can also… enter the virtual space as well.”
Su Yang was confused. “I can still enter the virtual space?”
Little Deeny nodded and smiled mysteriously. “Master, if you don’t understand, you could go in and try it out yourself.”
Su Yang held the glass extension in his hand and tapped on it. Instantly, Little Deeny’s interface appeared on the glass. A piece of glass that looked completely transparent showed everything, looking a little like some black technology.
Little Deeny explained, “When I was receiving the message, I realized that this is actually the development of phones, decentralizing.”
“Now that 5G is being popularized, 6G doesn’t seem to be too far away. When the Internet is able to carry hundreds of trillions of data per second, even thousands of trillions of data, phones in the future will probably only have one screen, where all the terminals will be on the Cloud server.”
Su Yang opened his mouth wider and wider…
“Is that even possible? Who would want to share their privacy online?”
Little Deeny shook his head. “Master, you’re overthinking it. This would be no different from the software you’re using now, there will be a personal phone terminal for you built in the Cloud server. This would be equivalent to your phone being operated on the Cloud server. Whenever you open the screen, an image will appear on your screen in real time. There won’t be any leak in privacy because everyone’s terminal is unique.”
“As for whether the privacy will be leaked to the operator or the service provider. Hmm… do you think ordinary people have any privacy in this era?”
Su Yang was speechless.
He did not have any words to refute her.
‘On second thought, Little Deeny’s idea might really be the future development of cellphones.
‘But… what does this have to do with having an extension?’
Little Deeny seemed to have seen through Su Yang’s thoughts. She said, “Master, the reason why I have to use my clones as an extension is because I can’t do long-distance data transmission.”
“Therefore, I need to use my extension and my main body as two anchor points. I will then use my thoughts to exchange data.”
“But, if our satellite launches into the sky, I’ll be able to transit my data around the world. When that happens, I won’t need a clone to transmit data.”
“Furthermore, the moment [Screen Phone] can be produced, I can use these [Screen Phones] as extensions. When that happens, as long as we are on Earth and within the area covered by satellites, no matter who or where they are, as long as we have a [Screen Phone], we will be able to teleport ourselves and our items into the virtual space.”
“Do you understand this concept?”
Su Yang followed Little Deeny’s train of thought and thought for a while. Then, he felt that… ‘Oh my God! I will be able to seamlessly teleport from anywhere in the world! The true era of Global Village!
‘This also means that the virtual space, or in this case, Scoot Island, would become the world’s center point. This is because everyone and every resource, no matter where they come from or where they are going, has to pass through this place!
‘This is going to be a truly glorious and groundbreaking era!
‘Furthermore, even if I don’t provide this network to others and only use it for myself, I will be able to successfully trade globally, even smuggle, using this database!
‘I’m really going to be rich this time!’
Looking at Su Yang’s excited expression, Little Deeny covered her mouth and smiled. Then, she said, “Master, please enter the virtual space to take a look. Perhaps you will discover more amazing things.”
Su Yang nodded. ‘Indeed, it will be a long time more before this global instantaneous trade route is completed. I should enter the virtual space to take a look in the meantime.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang opened the virtual space software and entered the virtual space.
‘Hmm… Entering the virtual space again via the descended virtual space…
‘Why does it feel weird…’
For a moment, Su Yang felt like he was a Matryoshka doll…
