Chapter 460: Unexpected Turn of Events, Game Company Bankrupt?
Chapter 460: Unexpected Turn of Events, Game Company Bankrupt?
As Yang Shen Tianzun and the others discussed in the Black Sword, a man dressed in a crimson robe, his waist hung with a pouch brimming with storage bags, stood basking in the air within the Flower Moon Oddland.
In this strange land, the stars reflecting the heavens were nowhere to be seen.
Unable to bask in the sun, he could only bask in the air.
The storage bag opened, revealing a dazzling array of ice eggs laid out beside Qi Yuan, making him resemble an egg vendor.
"Sigh, the cultivators of Guiyuetian are too slow. After all this time, they're still dragging their feet!"
The stage was already set up, and Qi Yuan was waiting for the actors to enter.
However, the cultivators in the immortal world were incredibly inefficient. When doing anything, they would dawdle and procrastinate, not even a hint of decisiveness or swiftness."
For example, the last Grand Principle Daoist Conference mentioned Lin Ya Transformation, and yet, after all this time, it still hadn't begun.
Currently, Qi Yuan took out an ice egg, challenging the young Celestial Prodigy of Guiyuetian, and as a result... up to now, those Celestial Prodigies had only issued fierce words of challenge, but none had arrived.
"Those who achieve great things must endure loneliness."
Qi Yuan remained calm.
Within the game jade slip, the silent voice spoke once more.
Qi Yuan smiled, "Do you want to hear another story...?"
He found that by telling stories to the silent voice in the game jade slip, the new game's loading speed would also increase.
So, he started making up random tales.
"Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and on that mountain was a child named Red Boy..."
"That's it for today's story."
"Every day, I tell you stories. Why don't you tell me about the game's plot, so I can familiarize myself with the storyline?"
Regarding the new game, Qi Yuan was also very eager, or you could say, full of anticipation.
Because he had already reached the Purple Mansion Realm.
The next world would be where he would prove his Dao and become a deity.
Naturally, he was extremely interested in the next game.
"After becoming a god, it will surely be very interesting. Will I have many believers and followers?"
"Won't there be people who will erect statues of me and worship me?"
"Then, as time passes, when a great person appears, they will topple the wild sacrificial statues in the mountains."
Qi Yuan's thoughts wandered aimlessly.
Unfortunately, the silent voice didn't respond at all.
"According to the principle of reciprocity, I've told you so many interesting stories, killing many brain cells in the process. Shouldn't you give me some gold coins in return? You can't be so stingy..."
"Oh, I forgot, you're blind and can't speak."
At this moment, the silent voice fell completely silent.
For some reason, Qi Yuan seemed to sense that the silent voice was brewing something.
After about a hundred breaths of time passed, suddenly, Qi Yuan discovered that within the game jade slip, the icon representing the new game suddenly flashed with light.
Qi Yuan squinted, observing this flash of light.
"Such rich vitality..."
If the original game icon was dull and chaotic, now, it had gained much more vitality, or you could say, color.
It was as if a dilapidated barren land had undergone renovation.
And at this moment, the game's loading speed also increased dramatically.
"Hey, are you still there?" Qi Yuan called out tentatively.
Unfortunately, the silent voice didn't respond.
This left Qi Yuan disappointed, not knowing what had happened within the game jade slip.
After about three hundred breaths of time passed, Qi Yuan stared at the game icon, his expression slightly changing.
"The game... failed to load?"
"Wait... the game company went bankrupt?"
Indeed, within the game jade slip, during this short span of three hundred breaths, the game's loading speed increased crazily, but then... it crashed.
The appearance of the icon and the aura it exuded seemed to indicate that the game company had gone bankrupt.
It was like clicking on an installation package and seeing a 'game damaged' message.
"What's going on? Did the company go bankrupt?"
"Hey... are you still there?"
Unfortunately, no one responded to him.
The game's progress bar turned gray and dim, stagnating.
"Family, does anyone know? I've been waiting for this game for so long, and now it's gone bankrupt before it even launched. Who will compensate me for my wasted youth?"
Qi Yuan was completely speechless and even more disappointed.
"Could it be that I, as a player, need to step in and save this bankrupt game company?"
"Hey, I'm just a player.
"Unscrupulous merchants and capitalists!"
However, since it involved his own interests, Qi Yuan decided to try and save the game.
"If I succeed in saving it, give me some shares. I want to become a shareholder."
Qi Yuan pondered, and his soul tentatively tried to enter the game jade slip.
He was testing to see if he could enter the new game.
For some reason, he always felt that the game was undergoing tremendous changes.
Unfortunately, a powerful restraint prevented Qi Yuan from entering.
"It's too tightly sealed. I can't get in."
Qi Yuan looked at the game jade slip, deep in thought.
The game is broken and completely inaccessible.
After all, how could players enter a half-baked installation package?
At this thought, Qi Yuan's aura began to shift.
"Absolute Adaptation!"
The Supreme Principle was unleashed in this moment.
Qi Yuan's divine soul underwent constant transformations.
Absolute Adaptation—survival at its core.
Adapt to everything, adapt to all, and he too, adapts, entering this broken installation package.
As his divine soul transformed, the Supreme Principle stirred, and within his bone marrow, a faint roar of the Great Dao echoed.
"This won't do. My Supreme Principle is not yet fully stabilized, and I can't enter the game at all."
Qi Yuan felt a headache coming on.
His understanding of the Supreme Principle was still in its infancy. Aside from those veteran High Sovereigns, even ordinary Great Principles were a challenge for him.
In a 16-bit game, he couldn't find a single mistake.
The Supreme Principle had yet to be truly engraved, stabilized within his body, soul, and mind.
"What should I do now?"
"Do I have to rely on my smart brain again?"
With this thought, Qi Yuan took out a bottle containing the Ascension Blood Plastic Awakening Pill.
The bottle was empty, the pill long consumed, leaving only a faint exotic fragrance.
Qi Yuan poured immortal liquid into the bottle and shook it vigorously in all directions.
"With this taste, it should be effective."
Qi Yuan drank the immortal liquid in one go, instantly feeling refreshed and energized. He could carry ten bags of rice up ten floors in one breath, all while completing nine sets of test papers.
"The foundation of a game is its code, its programming."
"The world is also a grand game, made up of code, rules..."
"And rules are the myriad paths."
"The myriad paths are binary."
"So... the game's code is binary."
"Perfect, the logic is sound, very reasonable, no flaws to be found."
Indeed, with Qi Yuan's intellect, if no flaws were found, it meant the plan was flawless, seamless.
"Transform!"
In an instant, a strand of Qi Yuan's divine soul split, transforming into two drops of crimson blood.
These two drops of blood formed the digits "0" and "1".
"Is this the code?" Qi Yuan's expression brightened.
However, having lost this small portion of his divine soul, Qi Yuan's face paled, as if his vitality had been severely damaged.
He had sacrificed so much for this game.
"I've shed so much blood from my divine soul, my blood sugar is low, and I'm an original shareholder!" Qi Yuan shouted at the game.
The blood of "0" and "1" merged with the game in that instant.
Absolute Adaptation continued to exert its unique influence.
The originally dim and lifeless game icon, with its progress bar stuck, seemed to come to life with these two drops of blood, slowly regaining vitality.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, "Finally, it's fixed."
The game began loading again.
"Exhausting."
Having lost two drops of blood from his divine soul, Qi Yuan felt a surge of fatigue. All he wanted was a good long sleep.
"Silent Voice, I've shed a lot of blood for you this time. You'd better compensate me," Qi Yuan shouted, holding the Ice Egg and falling asleep.
To revive the game, Qi Yuan had exhausted himself, as if he had just gone through a major battle.
As he slept, within the jade slip, the game icon slowly loaded.
Occasionally, a flash of light would appear.
A voice, silent yet resounding, spoke, different from before, carrying a hint of spirituality, or perhaps... not silent at all.
"I..."
The single word echoed through the heavens and earth, but Qi Yuan, deep in slumber, didn't hear it.
After an unknown period, Silent Voice seemed to sigh in resignation, eventually fading into silence and disappearing completely.
The game continued to load.
Time passed, and in the Flower Moon Wondrous Land, amidst the originally dark and gloomy sky, dozens of streaks of light flashed by.
A man clad in golden silk armor stood in the void, holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, his voice vast like thunder.
"Blood Robe, come out and face your death!"
Forty-seven Celestial Prodigies gathered, almost all of them legendary figures, each holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, their presence awe-inspiring.
These Celestial Prodigies, if unleashed upon a world without the protection of a Yangshen Heavenly Lord, could easily overturn an entire world.
At this moment, forty-seven Celestial Prodigies converged, and hundreds of Great Sovereigns descended, all roaring, trying to summon the Blood Robe.
Unfortunately, Qi Yuan, exhausted, couldn't hear their voices.
"Are you afraid of me? Are you a coward?" Mo Zhong shouted angrily, not receiving a response from the Blood Robe.
The other Celestial Prodigies smirked, mocking their unseen opponent.
"You dare to talk big, but you're nowhere to be found."
