Sixth Star Cave.
Lin Yuan’s figure appeared.
“Walk to the opposite side, and you can pass.”
“Reminder: There is no risk of losing your life in this Star Cave.”
Lin Yuan glanced at the stele next to him.
It described the method to pass through this Star Cave.
“The opposite side?”
Lin Yuan looked up.
The so-called ‘opposite side’ was about ten steps away.
Lin Yuan looked around.
Within these ten steps, dozens of testers were scattered about.
These Evolvers were either standing still,
or looking down in thought, or frozen in place, or appeared bewildered.
“This Star Cave… tests the soul as well, it’s probably not just a simple soul attack.”
Lin Yuan looked thoughtful.
The Evolvers who stopped within the ten steps showed different expressions, but overall they seemed calm, not showing signs of being under attack.
After observing for a while, Lin Yuan, confident that there were no issues, took a step towards ‘the opposite side.’
In an instant,
the scenery around him changed.
Lin Yuan was sitting at the top floor of a luxurious building, clearly seeing the outside world through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
Spaceships and warships were landing one after another, and beyond the planet, there were space fortresses as big as the sun and moon standing guard.
“Now my identity is… the wealthiest merchant in the Chikun Star Domain? Do I have enough wealth to buy a whole star system? Am I conducting business with other Star Domains, and even Different Species?”
A flood of memories appeared in Lin Yuan’s mind out of nowhere,
allowing him to quickly understand his current situation.
“Master, the level six resource planet you bought a month ago has now been fully taken over. This level six resource planet, rich in all kinds of precious ores, brings in an income of two hundred and thirty trillion cosmic currency every year…”
“Master, the interest from your Central Bank deposit last year has been credited in full, which is roughly an income of one hundred and twenty trillion cosmic currency…”
“Master, the Cosmic Galaxy Company you invested in, the shareholder dividend this year is eighty-three trillion cosmic currency…”
“Master…”
…
Intelligent robots stood not far away, continuously reporting various incomes.
The unit of measurement used was not the Human Alliance’s ‘civilization currency’ but the higher-end ‘cosmic currency.’
Compared to the ‘civilization currency,’ which can only be used within Human Alliance territories, ‘cosmic currency’ can be used in many racial territories.
The exchange rate between the two is one to ten thousand.
Ten thousand civilization currency can be exchanged for one cosmic currency.
“Too wealthy.”
Lin Yuan checked his account balance, the string of zeros at the end made him gasp in amazement.
“Too bad… it’s all an illusion….”
Lin Yuan sighed softly, and the scenes around him began to shatter.
He was back in the Sixth Star Cave.
“So, with each step taken, one experiences a kind of Illusionary Realm?”
Lin Yuan looked thoughtful, having now completed the first step. To continue, he would have to take the second step.
“The Illusionary Realm is not difficult, assuming you are prepared, it’s not much of a threat, but it’s too tempting. Even knowing it’s fake, it makes one want to stay a little longer, to experience it a bit more.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
If one harbored such thoughts, it would be dangerous, because for every second you linger in the Illusionary Realm, days might pass by in the outside world.
Indeed, the Illusionary Realm would not threaten the life of the tester; however, if one stayed in this Star Cave for more than a month, they would be automatically disqualified.
If one indulged too much, enjoyed too much, they might unconsciously ignore time and thus be eliminated.
…
“Continue.”
Lin Yuan reflected for a moment, then took the second step.
The environment around him changed once again.
This time, Lin Yuan appeared in a magnificent palace.
Surrounding him were numerous beauties.
These females were all stunningly beautiful, each movement capturing the soul, currently serving Lin Yuan in a submissive manner.
“The first step is wealth, the second step is beauty?”
Lin Yuan thought to himself. He couldn’t deny that everything in the Illusionary Realm felt extremely real—the delicate touch of the skin and the lingering fragrance in the air.
“King…”
A beauty with deep blue pupils snuggled up, trailing her slender fingers across Lin Yuan’s chest, whispering in his ear.
“King…”
Another beauty came onto him, caressing Lin Yuan’s abdomen, with a hot breath flowing.
“King…”
“King…”
“King…”
…
One beauty after another drew close, and if placed in the Human Alliance, they would at least be ‘streamers’ or ‘stars’ with hundreds of billions of fans, but now they were all trying to please Lin Yuan.
“Must focus on the important things.”
Lin Yuan withdrew his right hand from the embrace of a beauty, and with a thought,
in a flash, the scenes around him began to shatter, and Lin Yuan was back in the Sixth Star Cave.
To say he ‘returned’ to the Star Cave is somewhat inaccurate because Lin Yuan never left it in the first place. Everything he experienced was an illusion.
“Hmm?”
“Has a minute passed?”
Lin Yuan looked at the time.
“Quite insidious…”
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
In the beauty Illusionary Realm, as long as a tester feels like enjoying the experience a little, such as trying the skills of the beauties, even if it’s only for a few seconds, the passage of time in the outside world could accelerate by nearly ten to dozens of times.
After all, compared to the wealth Illusionary Realm of the first step, the beauty Illusionary Realm of the second step created sensations almost identical to reality.
Enjoying it there was almost no different from enjoying it in the real world.
…
Next.
Lin Yuan took several steps in succession.
The Illusionary Realms he encountered varied greatly, involving power, status, strength, and so on.
The Illusionary Realms of the Sixth Star Cave were very realistic, targeting each tester’s inner desires and emotions.
But for Lin Yuan, these were oversimplified.
It wasn’t that Lin Yuan had a particular talent in this area, but rather he had experienced all there was to experience.
