Chapter 228: Fefei's Meditation Technique! Virtual Reality!

Chapter 228: Fefei's Meditation Technique! Virtual Reality!

Meditation Technique.

This was Su Ping's pain.

The 'Ten Thousand Phenomena Meditation' that Sang Sheng had sent him, he never imagined that he wouldn't even be able to get past the basics.

As a result, not only did it become Fefei's toy, but he also felt awkward asking Sang Sheng for guidance.

Although he didn't feel the burden of being an idol in front of such an existence, both Qin Xiaoxue and Sang Sheng, along with Qin Yi, assumed that he had successfully cultivated the technique.

Qin Xiaoxue had already mastered the 'Ten Thousand Phenomena Meditation', and Su Ping had previously mocked Miss Qin for her lack of intelligence. He dared not imagine how she would ridicule him if she found out that he hadn't made any progress with the 'Ten Thousand Phenomena Meditation' after all these months.

Therefore, Su Ping had no choice but to study it himself.

However, he never expected that Fefei, out of the blue, would suddenly come up with such a statement? Wasn't this little guy discussing the art of human communication on forums? Wasn't he raising a cyber pet in games?

How long had it been?

It had only been a few days since they returned from Modu.

Su Ping's first thought was one of disbelief.

He furrowed his brows and looked at Fefei:

"Fefei, this is no joke. If you cause any more trouble, I'll deduct your allowance for this week!"

"Master, it's true! I've succeeded, and I'm waiting for you to try it out!"

Fefei's voice came through the speakers.

Su Ping nodded.

Although Fefei was a bit eccentric, he still had to show respect to his third cultivated pet.

In any case, it was worth a try.

"Alright, then tell me, what should I do? What kind of spiritual resonance should I have with you? What kind of mental connection?"

The meditation technique required the cultivator's psychic energy to resonate at the same frequency as the pet, thus increasing the speed of cultivation.

Naturally, Fefei's technique should follow the same principle.

However, Su Ping hadn't established a spiritual contract with this little guy. How could they resonate?

This was the main reason Su Ping felt that Fefei was just rambling.

The essence of meditation techniques was the spiritual connection through a contract.

To cultivate this technique, he could only connect with Xiao Qing and Qian Yi.

However, Fefei's mechanical ball lit up instantly:

"Roar, Master, you underestimate my creativity! My meditation technique doesn't require a spiritual contract or active resonance from you. All you need to do is surrender your mental resistance!"

"Hmm?"

Su Ping was even more confused.

Then, Fefei continued:

"Master, please open the laptop with the integrated mechanical core."

The laptop was already on, obviously controlled by Fefei's backend.

"Master, pay attention. Don't resist and use your psychic energy to carefully sense the signal fluctuations on the screen."

Su Ping pursed his lips and stared intently.

At that moment, a very special signal was transmitted from the camera's position.

It was similar to psychic energy, but it felt more like the Wi-Fi signal frequency Fefei had created.

What was this?

Su Ping thought he would need to focus on the screen for some sort of hypnotic effect. But now it seemed different.

However, Fefei had repeatedly instructed him, so he naturally wouldn't resist mentally.

Not only that, but he used his psychic energy to sense the signal Fefei emitted.

This signal seemed to connect with his psychic energy in a strange and wonderful way! Then, Su Ping instinctively closed his eyes and laid back in the chair.

His psychic energy guided his consciousness into a virtual yet realistic world.

A voice rang in his ear:

"Welcome, Master, to Fefei's world!"

He felt a bit disoriented.

Su Ping could sense that with a thought, this exploring psychic energy could instantly leave, and his self-awareness could immediately return to his body.

This was merely a psychic perception, not a soul entering a physical location.

But it felt so real.

It was empty, with only a patch of grass visible.

What was this?

However, he was genuinely intrigued. He tried moving in this strange and virtual world, and the sensation became incredibly real.

It even gave him the feeling of regaining his body.

Although it was vastly different from walking in reality, it felt like floating and walking in a world without gravity.

"Greetings, respected Master! I am Fefei's second beloved, Aling, and your guide! Let me be your trusted assistant as you adventure in the Chaos Continent!"

"Huh?"

Su Ping was shocked by the professional terms.

Aling?

Fefei's second beloved?

Chaos Continent?

Adventure?

These terms gave Su Ping a strong sense of deja vu.

He looked at the chaotic realm and asked speechlessly:

"What's there to adventure in this place?"

Aling didn't respond, as if it had frozen.

Then, Fefei's voice came from the surroundings:

"Master, some details haven't been perfected yet! Don't resist, and wait for my instructions!"

"..."

Su Ping exhaled. At that moment, he finally understood what this place was and where this strong sense of deja vu came from.

"So, this is your meditation technique?"

"Master, Aling is waiting for your response!" Fefei urged anxiously.

Su Ping looked at the potato-like black-haired female robot and asked helplessly, "How should I respond?

"

As this thought crossed his mind, Su Ping was once again shocked by what appeared before him. A surreal blue frame emerged, containing two lines of text:

[1. Sure, let's head out right away!]



[2. This is my first time here. What's Aling's suggestion?]



Damn it!

So the first option is like skipping the beginner's guide?

What the hell is this meditation?

Su Ping was stunned.

However, he chose the second option.

The potato landmine with long black hair, who had been as unresponsive as a frozen computer, suddenly came to life:

"Master, your choice is extremely wise. The Chaos Continent is fraught with danger. Aling suggests you enhance your strength first, and then venture into the Chaos Continent again! How do you wish to engage in combat?"

Listening to the potato landmine's words, Su Ping pursed his lips. The next moment, several options appeared before him:

[1. A true warrior charges in, weapon in hand, ready for battle! (Not yet implemented)]



[2. I'm better at sniping from a distance. (Not yet implemented)]



[3. I haven't had enough of taming beasts in reality. I want to continue taming beasts in the Chaos Continent! (Recommended)]



Damn it, why bother mentioning 'Not yet implemented'?

And wait a minute!

What the hell? Did we skip the beginner's guide and even miss the 'class change'? How are we supposed to adventure without that? Are we supposed to fight with our fists and love?

Suppressing his urge to complain, Su Ping chose the third option.

The potato landmine's eyes lit up, and not metaphorically, but like a light bulb:

"Master, you've made an extremely wise choice. Now, which pet beast will you choose as your initial companion? We have three options for your initial selection!"

A bright light shone in its eyes, and before Su Ping, three all-too-familiar pet beasts appeared:

A stunted forest wolf, barely half a meter tall, with a scrawny frame.

A dry origami figure, not even reaching half a meter, wielding a paper sword.

And a three-meter-tall mechanical god's infant, a smaller version of the Titan robot seen at the Magic Capital Mechanical Association.

Su Ping exhaled deeply.

As expected, three options appeared again:

[Please select your initial pet beast:]



[1. A feeble mutated venomous forest wolf, a lowly creature of the Chaos Continent, barely surviving by scavenging trash.

Attack: ☆, Defense: ☆, Agility: ☆, Evolution Potential: ☆, Overall Rating: ☆ (Not Recommended)]



[2. An insignificant mutated paper swordsman, an odd creature of unknown origin, but still weak in the battles of the Chaos Continent.

Attack: ☆, Defense: ☆, Agility: ☆, Evolution Potential: ☆, Overall Rating: ☆ (Not Recommended)]



[3. A powerful mechanical god's infant, possessing a robust mechanical body and terrifying psychic talents. The perfect choice for pillaging and plundering!

Attack: ☆☆☆☆☆, Defense: ☆☆☆☆☆, Agility: ☆☆☆☆☆, Evolution Potential: ☆☆☆☆☆, Overall Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (Highly Recommended)]



His lips twitched rapidly.

Ignoring the potato landmine's uncomprehending gaze, he decisively chose the first option.

"Huh? Master, your choice is truly unwise. In the dangerous Chaos Continent, this weak little forest wolf cannot ensure your safety!"

Su Ping ignored the creature's questioning and declared,

"It's him!"

If anyone dared tell him now that mechanical beasts were the most wooden and rigid, following their master's commands without much independent thought, Su Ping would slap them.

The little creature created by Fei Fei had its thoughts laid bare.

"Alright then!"

The potato landmine nodded, and the three silhouettes disappeared, replaced by a trembling little forest wolf.

Indeed, even Su Ping had to admit it was incredibly lifelike.

The fur, the trembling body—it was quite convincing.

Then, a prompt appeared on the little forest wolf's body:

[Mutated Forest Wolf]



[Level: 0 (0/50)]



[HP: 10/10]



[MP: 3/3]



[Stamina: 5/5]



[Skill: Venomous Vine Strangle]



Su Ping was impressed.

Then, he turned to the potato landmine, "What's next?"

"It's time to begin the adventure!"

Aling's voice sounded, and with a cyber-cute tone, she pointed to the empty space ahead, "Look, the most basic monster of the Chaos Continent, the Magic Pattern Spider, has appeared! Quick, defeat it, Master!"

Su Ping waited for three minutes, but the so-called Magic Pattern Spider didn't show up.

Where's the spider? Is it lagging or frozen?

But as he was about to ask Fei Fei about the delay, a large black spider, the size of a millstone, scurried towards Su Ping.

No, this lag is really frustrating!

However, the viciousness of the massive spider was undeniable, and its realism was so immersive that it blurred the line between virtual and reality.

Without hesitation, Su Ping commanded, "Xiao Qing, use Venomous Vine Strangle!"

"Woof!"

The cyber forest wolf let out a genuine roar and dashed forward.

As for the Venomous Vine Strangle, Su Ping didn't see it, but he knew that after giving the command, a new prompt appeared before him:

[Venomous Vine Strangle skill not yet implemented...]



Despite this, Su Ping acknowledged the little wolf's unwavering determination to protect him.

The small wolf fearlessly charged towards the giant spider.

In an instant, it was picked up by the spider and swiftly devoured.

And then, the Magic Pattern Spider pounced towards him.

In the end, his vision became chaotic once more.

The sensation of conduction he experienced when connecting at that spiritual frequency reappeared.

However, this time, it was slightly different.

Su Ping opened his eyes, feeling dazed as he looked around his study.

He gazed at his laptop and the virtual 3D image of Fefei on the screen, feeling confused.

Then, Su Ping was stunned.

At this moment, he had only one thought: Who am I? Where am I?

"Master! How is Fefei's Meditation Technique? Isn't it amazing?" Fefei's voice from the laptop screen echoed.

Su Ping remained silent, listening to Fefei.

Then, he closed his eyes again, sensing something.

In his perception, there was not even a slight increase in psychic energy.

"Is this thing a Meditation Technique?" Su Ping wondered.

Fefei seemed a little aggrieved and quickly nodded, "Yes! Why didn't you follow the recommended method, Master? The Linlang and Origami Figures are the weakest and most common pets. Only by defeating monsters like the Magic Pattern Spider can you increase your level and gain more psychic energy from the experience points' reward in the game. These experience points are virtual psychic energy converted from data flow.

In this process, the beastmaster's psychic energy is naturally trained and enhanced.

However, the energy conversion requires consuming more electricity and internet fees..."

Su Ping blinked, feeling confused by Fefei's explanation.

The Dream Crystals were leftovers from the Crowned Wolf Emperor's evolution, and Old Li had given them to Su Ping, who didn't think much of them and placed them with Fefei, who shared the same attribute.

Su Ping hadn't expected that Fefei would use those items as inspiration and guidance.

"So, this Meditation Technique is essentially the same as a regular one, without any special consumption, right?"

"Yes, the Super Local Network is built using the Mechanical Core, allowing connection to the 'Chaos Continent,' and the electricity and internet fees are within an acceptable range. However, there is still an overall limit, but the Super Local Network can collect the virtual electromagnetic waves converted into psychic energy by users and eventually gather them to me!

The amplification efficiency is similar to that of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Meditation Technique, but it lacks the ability to convert pet attributes.

Fefei's words left Su Ping deep in thought. He then looked at Fefei with a peculiar expression and asked, "Do you mean that other people can also use this Meditation Technique of yours?"

Fefei nodded, "Of course, if you can cultivate it, then other beastmasters should also be able to..."

Before Fefei could finish, he covered his mouth, realizing he had almost revealed too much.

Su Ping didn't mind Fefei's slip of the tongue but was shocked by what he had just heard.

"You mean, not only can all beastmasters try it, but the more people who use it, the more psychic energy can be accumulated?"

Fefei nodded, "Theoretically, that's correct. However, building the Chaos Continent also requires these resources. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome for Fefei to 'code' by consuming his own psychic energy...

Moreover, the Meditation Technique has its limits. Even when beastmasters use the Chaos Continent, they must proceed step by step. Otherwise, they won't be able to withstand it. There's also a 12-hour cooldown after using the Chaos Continent, which is a spiritual protection mechanism."

Su Ping nodded, but the excitement within him was almost bursting out.

This thing has great potential!

This unreliable little mechanical pet, Fefei, has truly given him a big surprise! What is the ultimate dream of gamers?

Of course, it's virtual reality.

Even in this beast taming world, pet cultivation is far more interesting than playing games online, but not everyone is qualified to play virtual reality cultivation games.

Some websites that allow you to convert energy into virtual psychic energy, which is then stored in Su Ping's possession.

Su Ping licked his lips, then recalled countless anime and manga. "Fefei, can this device that connects to the Chaos Continent through psychic hypnosis be made into a helmet or even a cabin-like device?"

Su Ping was amazed that this mutated psychic-type mechanical pet could come up with such an interesting invention with just a snap of its fingers.

Fefei nodded proudly, "Of course! As long as the unawakened mechanical core is actively connected to my local network with me as the core, it can be activated. As for the appearance, it doesn't really matter. We can place a signal transmitter in the helmet or something."

Suping eagerly nodded, but soon he paused, slightly puzzled.

Wait a minute!

He looked at Fefei with curiosity, "You just mentioned the need for something... a mechanical core?"

Fefei nodded, then pointed at the notebook computer below herself on the screen:

"Yes! To connect into my local network, we need these unawakened mechanical cores for interconnection.

Only these mechanical cores, once connected by me, can initiate such spiritual frequency signals! Other network signal transmitters can't do this.

The mechanical core is a true living being. Even if it fails to awaken, it still has the innate abilities of a living being, so it can be activated by me to emit spiritual frequency signals.

Other devices can't do this!"

At this point, Fefei excitedly shook her body, "This mechanical core is what I call the Prime Unit! What do you think, Master? The Prime Unit has helped me a lot. Although it's a bit slow, I've used it to search for many solutions to game development problems.

When the time comes, with more spiritual power available and the Chaos Continent further expanded, we'll be able to showcase more creatures. I plan to let the Prime Unit play a role in there too!"

"So, to make each of these game helmets, or rather, meditation assistant devices, we need a mechanical core?"

Fefei nodded, "Exactly! Master, you're so smart! Isn't Fefei amazing?"

Amazing, indeed amazing.

This extravagant way of playing is something most people can't afford!

How much does a mechanical core cost?

It's hard to say.

An awakened mechanical core represents a potential-filled mechanical pet, a luxury item in the new era. As for those that failed to awaken, they are still considered valuable.

Most are installed in supercomputers, top-tier supercars, trains, planes, high-molecule research machines, and other high-end mechanical equipment.

Among these, even the cheapest supercar-like items, an unawakened mechanical core is valued at a minimum of one billion.

A game helmet with a cost of at least one billion?

How much will it sell for?

With such high costs, even if Suping can afford to produce it, 99.99% of people can't afford it!

Is it possible to produce it at a cost of over one billion and sell it for one million or even one hundred thousand? Even at such seemingly affordable prices, it's still extremely expensive!

Even if Pingyun Corporation is willing to take a loss, this kind of playstyle is still too expensive to create! Is it possible to charge within the game? That doesn't make sense either!

Although the virtual reality game meditation idea is impressive, the amplified spiritual power won't truly be that incredible.

After all, this is a meditation idea with an extremely low entry barrier, not some hardcore gaming experience.

It's a long-term benefit for beast tamers! If we're talking about effectiveness, it might even surpass direct resource enhancement, but most people don't understand this!

Ordinary people tend to focus on short-term results. Playing games is just playing games; what does it have to do with meditation? This is what most people think.

This thing is truly a luxurious toy! But luxury is luxury.

For such an interesting plaything, if it's just for personal experience, then the enhanced spiritual power from meditation might not be that significant. But for Fefei's dream, when will her so-called Chaos Continent be completed? Although the costs are high, it can still be a product for sale.

There's no shortage of rich people in the world.

Speaking of which, Pingyun Corporation only has the Wolf Heart and Illusion Heart, the two magical drug products.

However, Pingyun Corporation's positioning is not just a description about the company and the products.

Pingyun Corporation, a leading company in the beast taming industry, is not just a supplier of magical drugs.
