Chapter 1990 - 1983: We’ll Be Waiting for You in the Supreme World

Zhang Menglong stood there in a daze, clearly wanting to go to the so-called Supreme World, so how did he end up inexplicably in a world that seemed like a game? What exactly was the true Supreme World, and how could he reach it?

"Menglong, look over there." Ying Zheng pointed to the distance and said.

Zhang Menglong looked in the direction Ying Zheng was pointing, where a massive light pillar shot straight into the sky. He couldn’t see the end of it, as if it pierced through the firmament and projected into another world.

"At the other end of the light pillar is the real Supreme World!" Ying Zheng said, "As long as you enter that light pillar, it will transport you to that world."

"That light pillar shouldn’t be that easy to enter, right?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Of course," Ying Zheng explained, "next to that light pillar, there is a very powerful figure guarding it. That person, like these NPCs, exists for the purpose of guarding the light pillar. Only if you meet certain requirements will he allow you to enter the pillar, otherwise, even if you’re at the Dao Realm limit, you won’t be able to step into the pillar at all."

"So how can I enter?" Zhang Menglong asked again.

"1 billion Supreme Coins!" Ying Zheng raised a finger, "Or 100 Supreme Crystals!"

"That doesn’t sound like much," Zhang Menglong frowned, "How can one get those Supreme Coins or Supreme Crystals?"

"There are many ways," Ying Zheng said, "outside this city wall, there are countless Warcraft. These creatures are like monsters in a game, and as long as you kill them, you can get a certain amount of Supreme Coins."

"Defeating monsters to drop Gold Coins?" Zhang Menglong was also somewhat speechless; this had become a real-life game, "Is the drop rate high?"

"Drop rate?" Ying Zheng hadn’t played online games much, so he didn’t understand these terms.

"Oh, I mean, how’s the reward?"

"Very low," Ying Zheng said, "killing a Dao Realm Warcraft can only drop anywhere between 1 to 100 Supreme Coins, and even a Dao Realm limit Warcraft only drops two to three hundred Supreme Coins at most! There are even stronger Warcraft, but they’re beyond our abilities to handle; those Warcraft probably surpass the Dao Realm."

"That doesn’t seem like a lot," Zhang Menglong said, puzzled, "Just 1 billion Supreme Coins, killing a few million Warcraft should do it, right? Is that hard?"

"On its own, that’s not difficult!" Ying Zheng said, "But the rules of this world have become very weird. Although energy is abundant in the air, this energy can only help Martial Artists cultivate. If used to adjust or recover lost energy, it is highly inefficient! Including injuries, your body’s self-healing ability will be greatly reduced!"

"Now that you mention it..." Zhang Menglong moved his arms around; he had just fallen from the sky and hit the ground. Although he hadn’t broken any bones, his back ached and his legs were sore. Normally, such external injuries would heal instantly, but now there remained a faint soreness.

"To recover from your injuries or replenish your energy, you have to purchase special potions from these NPCs." Ying Zheng took out two small vials, one red and one blue, "The red one can help you heal injuries, and the blue one helps you quickly recover energy."

"Damn..." Zhang Menglong was already out of words, how did red and blue potions come into play here, it really had turned into a full-fledged game world.

"These things are quite valuable," Ying Zheng said, "both of these potions cost 500 Supreme Coins per bottle. When your stamina or energy is depleted or you’re severely injured, you can only buy these."

"Also, the food needed to maintain life must be purchased from them. To rest here and rely on the tall walls to block Warcraft, you also have to pay Supreme Coins. Building various accommodations here also requires Supreme Coins. Here, as long as you have enough Supreme Coins, you can do anything you want!"

"Indeed..." Zhang Menglong was still looking at the NPC’s sales list, and they even sold fire that had a power close to Strange Fire, probably about 30% of the weakest Strange Fire’s power, priced over 10 billion Supreme Coins!

With that many Supreme Coins, you could take ten people out of this damned place. Ying Zheng and others were curious, wondering if anyone could save up that many Supreme Coins?

He had stayed here for over a hundred years, and hadn’t even saved up 10,000 Supreme Coins because he also needed to cultivate; those cultivation resources also had to be bought with Supreme Coins. Only by becoming stronger could you hunt more Warcraft and earn more Supreme Coins.

But it’s like a vicious cycle, seemingly endless, and many people have already died in the process!

If you truly think that collecting 1 billion Supreme Coins is easy, that’s just too naive.

Firstly, Supreme Coins cannot be gifted to each other. If such a situation arises, the Supreme Coins will disappear instantly, as if they were just a string of data.

So here, it’s impossible for someone with absolute power to gather a group of followers to earn money for him.

Of course, if you spend Supreme Coins to purchase goods, that can be given as gifts. Ying Zheng obtained leadership of this survival base through that means.

During the hundred years Ying Zheng had been in this world, many people had almost saved up that sum of Supreme Coins. Many have stayed here for thousands of years, accumulating little by little, until they finally managed enough, but often at this point, some absurd mishap occurs.

For example, when Ying Zheng first arrived here, there was a strong figure about to save up 1 billion Supreme Coins, but when he attempted to teleport, he encountered a beast that surpassed the Dao Realm and got killed directly.

There was also a mass natural disaster once, which dramatically reduced everyone’s Supreme Coin holdings.

It’s as if this damned place is intent on extorting every last Supreme Coin from you, yet it still manages to spare your life.

"My goodness, that’s brutal?" Zhang Menglong was shocked, "So has anyone successfully ascended the light pillar?"

"Of course," Ying Zheng said, "several decades ago, I don’t remember exactly when, it was a man and a woman, people say they were a couple. In just one month, they amassed countless Supreme Coins and even Supreme Crystals, and amidst everyone’s envious gazes, they headed to the Supreme World."

"A man and a woman, several decades ago?" Zhang Menglong came up with a bold idea; could that man and woman have been his parents?

[Dean, you have received a message from your parents!] Gou Dan suddenly prompted.

"Oh?" Zhang Menglong was surprised; it had been a while since he received any news from his parents.

Zhang Menglong opened it, and the message was simple.

"Son, you’ve reached the entrance to the Supreme World, right? We sensed it. Have fun over there, it’s a good place! If possible, bring more Supreme Crystals; we’re waiting for you in the Supreme World!"
