Chapter 547: All The Little Monsters Become Two?
Su Yang clicked on [Enter] and a small round dot in front of the glass screen emitted a green scanning light. Instantly, Su Yang was enveloped by this light. Then, he felt his vision turning dark as he entered the virtual space.
When Su Yang opened his eyes, he did not notice anything unusual. He was still in the castle. The layout of the castle, the furniture and so on did not change at all. In fact… Even the people in there did not change, Little Deeny was standing before him and looking at him.
Suddenly, Su Yang felt a chill running down his spine as he could not help but ask, “Am I in already?”
Little Deeny nodded. She walked over and held Su Yang’s hand. “Master, you have entered the virtual space.”
Su Yang replied, “Then why is it no different from the real world?”
Little Di said, “There’s actually a difference, but you probably have to discover it on your own.”
After she said that, Little Deeny held Su Yang’s arm as they walked out of the castle. The little monsters that Su Yang had seen earlier were still in the courtyard. Some of them were playing, some deep in thought and some were whispering to each other. The scenery before Su Yang was exactly the same as when he entered the castle.
Su Yang stopped in his tracks and looked at Gru who was not far away. He called out, “Gru?”
Gru turned its head. “Gru?” It looked puzzled. O . O?
Su Yang said, “Give me a heart symbol.”
Gru tilted its head. “Gru?”
Although Gru was confused as to why Su Yang made this request, it obediently extended its branches and used them to form a… Well in the air.
‘Yeap, that’s really Gru…’
Gru, the little cutie’s branches were very flexible and could form all kinds of symbols with it. However, the strange thing was that it could not bend its corners. Two days ago, when Su Yang was playing with Gru in the underground base, Su Yang made it do a heart symbol. In the end, it made a curved circle, which made Su Yang laugh.
However, it was also because of this that Su Yang remembered Gru’s characteristic.
Now that he looked at it, it was indeed really Gru.
‘So, what’s going on?
‘Why is there a Gru in the real world and a Gru in the virtual space?’
Then, Su Yang left the castle with Little Deeny, only to find “Socot Island” outside. There was a familiar valley, a familiar river and a familiar jungle, it all looked just like the scene that Su Yang saw when he stepped on the moon twice.
Su Yang looked up at the sky. The gray dome in the virtual space had turned into a clear night sky in Hawaii where stars and the moon could be seen.
Little Deeny brought Su Yang through the river and forest to the seaside. The scenery along the way was no different from the real world, making Su Yang uneasy. He did not know if everything before him was real or just an illusion. Furthermore, was the Little Deeny before him in the real world or the virtual space?
‘Have I actually not entered the virtual space…’
However, when he reached the beach, Su Yang confirmed that he was indeed in the virtual space.
This was because the endless sea had been cut off from the middle like a gray wall, blocking the surface of the sea. In the distance was the gray nothingness and close by was the vast sea.
The amazing thing was that the seawater gushed out from the void and then faded away. It was no different from the outside world.
Every time the seawater surged out and retreated, green lights that looked like they were exploding would appear in the air like they were telling Su Yang that he was in the virtual space, not the real world.
Little Deeny pointed at the border and said to Su Yang, “Master, this is the difference between the virtual space and the real world.”
“The real world has no boundaries, but the virtual world does.”
Su Yang was silent for a moment before he asked, “What if the virtual space becomes infinitely big?”
“Huh?” Little Deeny was at a loss for words.
Su Yang looked up at the clear sky. Suddenly, he could not differentiate between reality and illusion. The landscape was the same, the objects were the same, the scenery was the same, the people were the same and the boundaries could also be expanded. So what was the difference between the two worlds?
‘Is the virtual space actually a virtual world? Then is the real world actually the world’s reality?’
Su Yang could not help but think of many sci-fi novels and sci-fi movies. Then, he thought of the twisted world view that humans had after coming into contact with quantum mechanics…
‘Who would really know if the world they lived in was real or not?
‘Perhaps we are all just characters in a game.’
Su Yang pondered for an hour before he managed to extricate himself from this strange emotion. He hugged Little Deeny with a smile and left the virtual space with her. He wanted to go to the edge of Socot Island in the real world to take a look. He wanted to experience his heartfelt shock.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the beach in the southeastern part of Socot Island. Looking at the endless sea in the distance, Su Yang lamented, “This sea is so d*mn big.”
Little Di was confused.
Su Yang replied, “No, it’s nothing, bad habit. What I wanted to say is that I really can’t differentiate between reality and the virtual world.”
Little Deeny said, “Master, if I tell you something else, you might be even more confused.”
Su Yang turned to look at her.
Little Deeny said, “Actually, now that the virtual space overlaps with the real world, whether it is in the virtual space or in the place where the virtual space [Descent], it will all be projected in the other world. Whatever happens in both spaces are interlinked with each other.”
As she said that, Little Deeny waved her hand and a virtual interface appeared before the two of them. On the interface, Su Yang and Little Deeny were also standing by the sea, but the sea was constantly emitting green sparks.
‘That’s obviously the virtual space.’
When Little Deeny saw Su Yang’s shock, she smiled and picked up a stone from the ground before throwing it into the distance.
In the virtual space, she did the same thing.
However, in the real world, the stone that she threw created a perfect parabola and fell into the sea. In the virtual space, the rock that she threw passed through the gray boundary and exploded with green sparks before disappearing.
Su Yang’s mouth opened wider and wider. ‘It feels as if the two worlds are projecting at each other, this is so interesting…
After discussing the wonders of the virtual space with Little Deeny, Su Yang assigned tasks to the little monsters.
He asked Little Deeny to record the phenomenon that occurred when the two worlds intertwined and he made a detailed plan for the entire Socot Island.
After that, Dagger Girl cooperated with this plan and modified the terrain of Socot Island, making it more beautiful and suitable for living.
Gru, on the other hand, continued its grass farming business and tried to turn the bare Socot Island into a small island full of birds and flowers.
Other than the three of them, Janet was also assigned tasks. Su Yang asked her to turn back into her true form and look for the sharks near the island to see if he could disperse them or… Raise them.
The other lesser monsters… Were all under Little Deeny’s jurisdiction and they all listened to her commands.
As for Su Yang himself, his next goal was set. He would save up some coins and work hard to build a [Satellite Launching Rocket Base]!
He wanted to be the first person in the country to launch a private satellite!
Furthermore, he had to be the one who turned Earth into a World Village!
He even had a wild ambition. ‘The current virtual space is only three sqkm, would it be able to be gradually expanded in the future? Slowly surrounding Socot Island, Hawaii, Americas and even the entire Earth.
‘In that case, what would the future be like…’
After arranging everything, Su Yang returned to Shanghai the next morning.
That night, he had activated the [Three Days Without Sleep Halo] on himself, so he was very energetic.
When he returned to China, he freshened up and went to the film company to supervise the special effects production of “Wolf Warriors”.
The work atmosphere in the company had been very good for the past few days, especially with the help of the funds that Su Yang had transferred from Jiadian E-Commerce Company.
However, Su Yang wanted to complete it as soon as possible, so he had been leading the job progress.
After working for the entire morning, Su Yang returned to his office. He took out Little Deeny’s clone and took out [A Videotape To Record Good Memories] from the virtual space. He then aimed it at his forehead and used it to extract the scene from last night where the changes with vicissitudes happened.
After extracting his memory, Su Yang transcribed the tape to an MP4 format and copied it onto his computer.
Then, he opened the editing app and started editing the video.
With the [Advanced Film and Television Post-Production Ability], Su Yang’s editing and production of the film segment was top-notch in the country. However, the changes in the virtual space were too realistic and shocking, so there was no need for special effects to embellish it. Hence, Su Yang merely edited the scene and added some sound effects and background sounds before the production was completed.
At the end of the video, Su Yang added the full view of Socot Island, which was filmed by the drone this morning, and it gave the video a clear theme, “Rebirth After Cataclysm”.
When the camera slowly swept across the sky above Socot Island, looking at the endless sea, the majestic castle, the green grass and the clear river before finally, the video faded, leaving behind a special effects logo, Jiadian Pictures.
Su Yang created the idea from last night and sent it to the Findme app using his own account. He asked Little Deeny to put the video into the traffic pool before putting the matter behind him.
Afterall, he did it simply for the fun of it. He wanted that shocking scene to be seen by more people and he also wanted to attract more users to his Findme app. As for the outcome, that would depend on how many people liked it.
After making the video, Su Yang got up to head out for lunch. However, just as he turned off his computer, the ‘glass screen’ on the table lit up. Little Deeny’s voice rang in Su Yang’s ears. “Master, it’s CEO Bun.”
‘Li Zijun? Why is she looking for me?’
At that thought, Su Yang picked up the phone. “Hello? CEO Bun, what’s wrong?”
Li Zijun was already used to the nickname that Su Yang gave her. She did not even bother to reply to Su Yang and said, “Mr. Su, I have something to report to you.”
As Su Yang packed up, he said, “Go ahead.”
Li Zijun said, “Recently, there has been some negative news about Han Yi online. I feel that we should pay attention to it.”
Su Yang was stunned for a moment. “Ok, negative news on Han Yi, isn’t that normal? A while ago, Jiahang Pictures suffered a loss and wants to make up for it, so I find that normal.”
‘If that’s the case, it’s perfectly normal,’ said Li Zijun. ‘But… These negative news concerns you.’
Su Yang was truly shocked this time. “It has something to do with me? Tell me about it.”
Li Zijun said, “Someone exposed on the Internet that you are actually Han Yi’s fan and your move to sign her back into your company this time actually has some ulterior motives. They think you’re secretly planning to pressure her and become her sugar daddy.”
Su Yang furrowed his brows. ‘This rumor is capable of decimating me. The most important thing is that no one can verify the half-truths, especially if the truth is real and the fake is the analysis. This is going to be even troublesome.
‘After all, I was indeed Han Yi’s fan before. If the netizens were to connect the dots, it’s going to be hard for me to explain myself.
‘But…’
Su Yang pondered and suddenly felt that something was amiss.
‘Why does this matter seem to be targeted at myself rather than Han Yi?
‘This negative news doesn’t seem to have any effect on Han Yi. At most, it would make the fans worry about her. But for me, it would truly be a burden.
‘Am I imagining things?’
Right at that moment, Su Yang heard a beep in his mind. [New Advanced Random Mission triggered (Bronze-ranked)]
