Chapter 1045: Creating a Virtual World I
[Elementary Spiritual Virtual Network] is a [powerful skill] exchange option derived from the mysterious businessman.
You can use spiritual ideas as a carrier to create a virtual network.
The primary virtual network can link up to 9999 authorized intelligent beings, and its scope can completely cover the current dimensional world.
By entering the spiritual virtual network, real-time communication can be carried out regardless of geographical distance.
As the creator, Zong Shen himself will have more authority.
He can choose to consume his own mental power to create related buildings, objects and illusions in the virtual network.
The most important thing is that being in a virtual network will have the same perception as in reality.
In terms of time flow rate, the flow rate ratio in the real world and virtual network is 1 to 12.
The maximum daily login time for creators is 2 hours, and the maximum daily login time for linkers is 1 hour.
The time here refers to the time in reality, which actually translates into 24 hours and 12 hours in the virtual network. It is impossible to practice in the world of the spiritual network, but you can think and discuss, which indirectly saves time.
Meetings in a virtual network are far more convenient than meetings in reality.
Moreover, when the meeting lasted for an hour, only five minutes had passed in reality, so even if there was an emergency, it would not be delayed.
Therefore, [Elementary Spiritual Virtual Network], in addition to being able to communicate regardless of geographical distance, also has a function similar to a "spiritual time room".
The last thing is the volume in the virtual space. According to the original prompt, the spiritual virtual network can create a virtual space with a total area of no more than 40,000 square kilometers and a height of no more than 120 meters. It can also be separated and merged.
As long as Zong is willing, he can build a resort or leisure manor inside.
After all, being in the virtual space also has the same feeling as reality, and he is the creator of the virtual space!
After all, Zong Shen also spent 299,999 points to redeem this skill, so it's definitely not much different.
But later on, he just let it go for several days without creating his own spiritual virtual online world.
At that time, in addition to [Elementary Spiritual Virtual Network], he also exchanged two powerful skills [Magic Wave] and [All Things Retracement·Residual], but he didn't have time to test the effects.
Sitting in the luxurious hall of the lord's fortress, Zong Shen quickly ended his thinking.
Rococo-style architecture represents the intertwined temperament of pleasure, luxury and eroticism, both indoors and outdoors.
It was not yet dusk, and the sunlight filtered through the colored glass windows and turned into warm light, which was projected indoors.
Zong Shen leaned on the soft sofa in the living room and took off the bloody [Light Demon Battle Armor].
Then with a thought, he called out [Personal List] and opened his own related skill options.
It didn't take long to find the [Elementary Mental Virtual Network], a specially redeemed [powerful skill].
This skill can only be activated once, and there is no point in keeping it. Anyway, the virtual network created will be himself as the carrier. Wherever he is, the spiritual virtual network will be there.
If he leaves the dimensional world of Endless Continent in the future, the spiritual virtual network will also disappear.
So there is no point in leaving it and creating it in the future.
The 9999 link quotas for intelligent creatures can basically meet the demand.
Zong Shen does not plan to allow most of his heroic talents to connect to the spiritual virtual network. He only plans to select a small number of elites to connect to the spiritual virtual network. There should be a lot of leftover quotas of nearly 10,000, which can be used again in the future.
After making the decision, he no longer hesitated and directly chose to activate the skill.
[The primary spiritual virtual network is being created]
[During the process of mental withdrawal, you may experience temporary drowsiness, coma, confusion, etc.]
[Referring to the current total mental power, it takes 37 minutes and 29 seconds to complete the initial construction]
[Please ensure that you are in a relatively safe environment during this period]
[Do you want to execute the construction of spiritual virtual network? 】
【whether】
…
New options and prompts will appear, and there will be a state of mental withdrawal for about 37 minutes, so make sure the environment you are in is safe.
The Lord's Fortress is located at the core of the territory, which can completely guarantee that he will spend this time safely.
After thinking for a moment, he chose [Yes].
The system prompt in front of him suddenly became distorted and became like a whirlpool.
The withdrawal of mental power began, and I didn't have much feeling. I just felt that my eyes were blurred and my visual function became disordered.
After Zong Shen came to his senses, the 37 minutes and 29 seconds of building the mental virtual network had quietly passed.
"Well…"
"It seems that mental power extraction should not be classified as a mental and psychic control effect."
"Otherwise, the passive skills of psychic and mental resistance on my body should be activated."
He rubbed his temples, and his first thought was to analyze the nature of the state of mental withdrawal and how to resist it.
In fact, this process was a drain on his mental energy. As soon as he was separated, Zong Shen felt a sense of emptiness.
However, this feeling of emptiness soon subsides, and the mental power will restore itself according to a certain proportion of the wisdom attribute.
Many alien spellcasting methods directly use mental power to induce magic.
For example, [Artorius, the Destroyer of Silence] is like this.
But in the Endless Continent, mental power is only an auxiliary means for casting spells, not the mainstream method.
Therefore, mental power itself is a "consumable product".
After the discomfort was slightly relieved, a new reminder appeared in front of Zong Shen.
[The primary spiritual virtual network was successfully constructed]
[The current virtual space volume is: 400 square kilometers × 3 meters high]
[Relevant expansion functions will be opened in the future]
[By continuously consuming mental energy, the virtual space can be expanded and scenery created]
【Real-time linkers: 0】
[Number of links: 0]
【Do you want to log in? 】
【whether】
…
A new option appears, proving that the virtual space has been created.
Zong Shen was curious and was about to log in to see the situation.
After calming down and waiting for another two or three minutes to further recover some mental strength, he made a choice.
【Confirm login】
[Thinking link activation]
[Body blockade in progress]
[The main body crisis sensor occupies 2.179% of consciousness]
[After sensing the crisis, the mind can return within a tenth of a second]
【wait…】
…
Lines of prompts are displayed in an orderly manner.
Zong Shen suddenly had the illusion of logging into a virtual reality online game.
Soon, all the subtitles disappeared collectively, and a white light appeared that seemed to stop announcing.
When the white light dissipated, Zong Shen appeared in a strange virtual space.
He was wearing a white jumpsuit, and all the equipment and jewelry on his body were gone.
The ground and ceiling are both gray and white, and the place as far as the eye can see looks like a huge gray box.
Because he hasn't turned on the "creative mode" yet, the scenery looks a bit monotonous and dull.
The overall environment seems cramped and uncomfortable, with an area of 400 square kilometers but only a 3-meter dome height. To say it is not depressing would be a lie.
The floor height of residential buildings is already 2.7 meters. A height of 3 meters is nothing. It is not enough to disguise the scenery.
But when he was in this virtual space that was completely created by him, he naturally felt like he was dominating everything.
And this feeling was not an illusion, it was just a slight ripple of thought, and a list with multiple options appeared in front of Zong Shen.
[Hello, creator Zong Shen]
[Today, your remaining login time in the spiritual virtual network is: 23 hours, 59 minutes and 58 seconds]
[Enable creative mode]
[Enable climate simulation mode]
[Enable expansion mode]
[Enable emergency call mode]
[Enable linker radio mode]
[Enable virtual rules mode (the current level is too low and cannot be enabled)]
[Enable test mode (the current level is too low and cannot be enabled)]
…
Zong Shen quickly scanned every option, and then chose the option of [Enable Expansion Mode] instead of entering [Creative Mode] first.
The zenith height is too low and must be raised as soon as possible!
After selecting a mode, new options appear.
[Increase virtual space area]
[Increase the height of virtual space]
…
Zong Shen decisively chose the latter.
[To raise the height of the virtual space by 1 meter, it takes 7 minutes and 11 seconds in real time based on the current mental state and recovery efficiency]
…
Due to the time flow difference between the virtual space and the real world, the 7 minutes spent here will reduce the time he can log in today by about 86 minutes.
But from the perspective of mental energy consumption, this consumption is actually not very high.
He is well aware of the upper limit of his mental power. Although he is definitely far ahead compared to other lords, he cannot compare with the legendary strong men who mainly focus on mental power.
Therefore, this consumption can be said to be very low.
Considering that he still had less than 24 hours to log in, Zong Shen finally decided to increase the height of the virtual space by 7 meters to a height of 10 meters, which would be more pleasing to the eye.
The height of 3 meters is too depressing. If you stay there for a long time, you may develop claustrophobia.
【Expanding capacity...】
…
As simple cues appear, the visually distorted state reappears.
He couldn't notice the passage of time, and when everything was restored, the expansion had been completed.
The remaining login time for today on the list has also changed to [13 hours, 55 minutes and 28 seconds].
It can be said that more than ten hours passed in an instant.
But it was worth it. The ten-meter-high floor made Zong Shen feel much more comfortable.
The previous feeling of crampedness has been alleviated.
As for the area, we can discuss it later. 400 square kilometers of land is enough for him to express his creativity.
The next step is to improve the climate in the spiritual virtual network to make the environment here more realistic and not like a monotonous gray shell coffin.
Thinking of this, he called up the option of [Enable Climate Simulation Mode].
【Climate Simulation】
[This function is a basic function during construction and does not require additional mental energy consumption]
…
[Selectable categories:]
【Temperature】
【Time Domain】
【weather】
…
This option has great "playability". Zong Shen first opened [Temperature] and adjusted it to select a value.
[Adjustment successful]
[Constant temperature: 19℃]
[Note that time domain and weather will cause certain fluctuations in temperature]
As far as he knows, the temperature that humans can feel comfortable is within the range of 18°C to 25°C.
Mariel and Howie are both humans. As for elves like Luna and Vereesa, their physical comfort issues are roughly the same as those of humans.
The effect of temperature adjustment was immediate, and Zong Shen now felt as comfortable as the late spring and early summer.
Then there is the option [Time Domain].
A variety of [time domain] stages can be selected for stabilization.
…
【early morning】
【morning】
【afternoon】
【evening】
【night】
【Early morning】
…
After also considering it from the perspective of comfort, Zong Shen finally chose the morning.
Anyway, he can adjust it at any time. He prefers the morning just after early morning when the tiredness has subsided.
For him, this is a more spiritual time.
After the selection was completed, the gray dome suddenly changed, revealing even and soft yellow-white warm light like a curtain, and these lights had temperature.
The originally set temperature of 19°C became 22°C.
Finally, there is the [Weather] option. Suitable weather can also make people feel happy.
Once you open the option, more segmentation choices appear.
[You can choose to combine up to 5 weather factors that match each other]
【rain】
【Soft breeze and drizzle】
【Storm】
【Short shower】
【Long Shower】
【Thunderstorm】
[Showers turn to light rain]
[Showers turn to heavy rain]
【Sleet】
【Rain and hail】
…
【clear】
[Spring warm daylight]
[Summer long-sky daylight]
[Autumn Gradient Sunlight]
[Winter cooling and heating conversion type sunlight]
…
【Snow】
【Xiaoxue】
【Heavy Snow】
【Blizzard】
【Severe Blizzard】
【Gradient Snow】
【snow】
…
【wind】
【breeze】
【gust】
【gusty wind】
【typhoon】
【tornado】
【Salty and humid sea breeze】
…
【Negative】
[Melancholic cloudy day]
[Thunder clouds approaching and cloudy sky]
[Overcast cloudy sky]
[Shaded type cloudy day]
…
【other】
【Small thunderstorm】
【Large Thunderstorm】
[flood gushing]
【Landslide】
[Plate shock]
【Meteorological disaster】
…
There are many classification options, and Zong Shen even has permission to combine weather.
Not only can you set normal weather for the virtual space, but you can also create some messy natural disasters.
Basically, the weather options provided in [Weather] can satisfy most situation simulations.
Zong Shen was not interested in experiencing those fancy natural disasters yet. After a brief consideration, he decided to choose [Autumn Transformed Sunshine] + [Breeze].
After selecting these two elements, clouds suddenly appeared under the ten-meter-high dome.
The entire dome also became illusory, and there seemed to be no sense of distance.
Those clouds are not real, more like a realistic projection.
The world itself is virtual, so its projection is extremely real.
At first glance, the ten-meter-high dome seems to have turned into a real sky.
The clouds also started to drift.
The feeling of crampedness and confinement has been reduced a lot again.
Along with the change comes a gentle breeze.
The gentle air flow brings fresh air, which refreshes Zong Shen!
