CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 228: ARRIVAL OF THE BATTLE GROUP, COMMANDER MO ZHENTING! (PART 2)

"It is quite expensive, but with the help of the Super Little He to mine for a few days, I can earn it all back."

Qin Shi sat in the advanced training room, where rich features like "computational deduction", "martial arts simulation", and "real-time combat" were provided.

Super Little He had told him that such a uniquely perfect secondary world as the Grand Cosmos Server had excellent auxiliary cultivation effects, a hundred times better than the virtual combat room at Qiguang Heng University.

"Start with the Meditation Technique."

Qin Shi closed his eyes and activated the computational deduction for "one hundred Void Coins per hour".

Buzz!

His Sea of Consciousness seemed to be enhanced, his Power of Spiritual doubled, the speed of thought unimaginably fast.

As He Lanchan’s Void Meditation Technique continued to operate, strands of spirit intertwined and condensed, presenting a smooth and spotless ancient copper mirror.

This was the sign of ascending to the second layer.

From refining the object outside oneself at the Void Altar, to growing into an image-imprinting outer scene of the Void Ancient Mirror!

The breakthrough of the Meditation Technique was natural.

Qin Shi’s Spiritual Power was already close to the hundred-point threshold, especially after absorbing the Divine Crystal and sublimating the Monument Panel, he gained unprecedented benefits.

Within the Void Ancient Mirror, there were two large words displayed like stars.

They were "Cloud" and "Wind".

"One represents the Horizontal Cloud Hundred Strikes from the Azure Dragon Daoist School, the other is Yu Li’s All-Images Wind Formation."

Qin Shi sat motionless, deep in thought with his eyes closed.

These two large words embodied Heart Stance aura, which could be refined into the Hundred Aspects, serving as nourishment for insights.

He then activated the "martial arts simulation" feature, spending Void Coins like flowing water.

The characters Cloud and Wind transformed into two small figures, repeatedly practicing the moves imprinted by the Void Ancient Mirror.

The data characteristics of [Muscle Memory] allowed Qin Shi to see a number rapidly jumping on his forehead, skillfully rising quickly.

Within approximately a day and night, both the Horizontal Cloud Hundred Strikes and All-Images Wind Formation leveled up to full, completely integrating into Hong Sheng’s Hundred Aspects, with Heart Stance aura at its disposal.

"The Void Meditation Technique paired with the Grand Cosmos Server makes cultivation feel like idle gaming. I used to think that Old He mastering eight thousand eight hundred Heart Stances was simply fairy-tale.

But now, I too may achieve it!"

Qin Shi’s lips curved; he felt that as long as he developed enough, the eight thousand eight hundred count was not impossible to reach.

Within the Inner Realm, Super Little He frowned, feeling the rapid decline in his Void Coin balance.

He sighed softly, as if lamenting Qin Shi’s wastrel ways, then silently picked up the pickaxe and headed to the Netherworld for mining.

"A shameless kid exploiting child labor."

The Netherworld is a virtual sea, stably producing refined objects, which are the core materials for refining "Void Coins".

A long time ago, Entropy Sea Bank publicly shared the technology on encoding and using encryption algorithms.

Thereby, they issued and purchased Void Coins with efficient circulation.

This prompted myriad Spiritual Ability Paths to rush to the Netherworld to mine.

They extracted Dimensional Energy with powerful spirits and refined it into the refined objects to obtain "Void Coins".

Then they exchanged resources or purchased services from Entropy Sea Bank.

The Void Meditation Technique from He Lanchan, along with the limitation thresholds of the Divine Residence Inner World, gave Qin Shi an advantage in this.

Others, when traversing the Netherworld to extract Dimensional Energy, had to be cautious, fearing they would be targeted by the Great Demon of the Netherworld.

Because in the boundless black ocean, the brighter the spiritual light, the more covetous gazes it attracts.

Similarly, it represents a higher possibility of becoming prey.

But Qin Shi was different, bearing the symbol badge of four divine pillars was safe even when flaunting through the Netherworld.

Plus, the Void Meditation Technique combined with the Inner Realm, he feared no mental pollution, making him a skilled miner.

"Too bad this guy is lazy."

Super Little He felt helpless; if Qin Shi was willing to spend a few hours daily idly cultivating, to extract Dimensional Energy,

Void Coins would be earned in abundance!

...

...

"Yet another tiring day."

Qin Shi stretched lazily, leaving the advanced training room.

He glanced at the balance of his Entropy Sea Bank account and found his Void Coins hadn’t dwindled much.

He couldn’t help but remark:

"Super Little He is quite diligent, worthy of praise."

Completing his training session, Qin Shi logged off the Grand Cosmos Server.

He still had roughly three hours of online "credit" remaining.

If he wanted to continue enjoying the Dimensional World, he’d either need to collaborate with Yuan Energy Company or join other super forces.

"Cyber arena battles might be an option."

Qin Shi pondered; if there was one regret in Central City, it was perhaps not having faced Yu Li directly.

He had no obsession over maintaining a perfect grand slam winning rate.

Failing but gaining something valuable was what he truly valued.

"Speaking of which, my [Stacking] achievement has hardly triggered.

I previously thought if my physical attributes were high enough, I could pair them with taking hits to grow stronger; it would be a perfect match.

However, because of the excessively high stats, I couldn’t be harmed... Miscalculation!"

Qin Shi returned to the special train carriage, mulling it over, feeling somewhat exasperated.

He urgently needed a strong opponent to give him a solid beating.

Collaborating with Yuan Energy Company, participating in "commercial competition" against United Pharmaceutical.

Might be a good choice.

The special train roared along the tracks as Qin Shi’s mind wandered, his gaze becoming unfocused.

He was getting closer to the Tai’an Metropolitan Area; he wondered how things had been during his absence.

His fellow senior brothers and sisters from Nanhuang Daoist School, his friends from Old Factory Street, and his eldest sister and youngest brother along with Old Liang—how have they been?

...

...

The pitch-black backdrop of the Great Cosmos was like an eternally existing black curtain, always embracing myriad beings and endless planets, converging into the vast and boundless infinite Star Sea.

However, amidst the day-to-day, year-to-year silence, waves occasionally stirred.

For instance, now.

Deep space appeared like paper crumpled, forming stripe-like patterns of folds.

Then, extremely dazzling white points flickered.

Between the light and dark, it seemed like a giant flashlight was being flickered back and forth, sending some signal.

Located underground in Heng Province, the Netherworld Research Institute hosted a powerful Spiritual Ability User who closed their eyes, Spiritual Power like strong radio beams penetrating space, breaking through the atmosphere.

"Greetings, Sequence Army of the Seventh Battle Group, welcome to Heng Province New Star. Please shut down your engines, accept the gravitational capture, enter orbit, and begin descent..."

The Spiritual Ability User communicated with the "white point" in outer space through "artificial radio beams".

The white point continued to expand, like a hole burnt through paper by a lighter.

Stretching tens of kilometers, a battleship resembling a black mountain range crossed the void and was slowly dragged out.

The emblem of the double-headed eagle representing the Seventh Battle Group appeared on the display screen of the Netherworld Research Institute.

The most common "light spear turrets" of New Dongxia stood like forests of towers, the cannon groups densely arranged like hives, engraved with [Divine Machine] inscriptions, surrounded by Mechanical path soldiers in standard maintenance attire, performing appeasing procedures.

"Received."

The colossal battleship with a Black Iron background, adorned with blood red and sacred white, halted in its tracks like a moving mountain.

Accompanied by the sequential extinguishing of the volcano crater-like rear engine group, the flame light resembling stellar flares gradually dimmed, imprinting the white point of the Great Cosmos into silence.

As if a bell ringing, Mechanical path soldiers recited prayers, bringing joy and calm to the Machine Soul, accepting the gravitational capture of Heng Province’s New Star, descending toward the air port.

A pair of long military boots stepped onto the front of the bridge, a red double-breasted coat gently fluttered, and gloved hands embroidered with gold-thread double-headed eagles were powerfully clasped behind.

Three sacred white stripes lined the cuffs, the shoulder topped with a bright long golden tassel badge.

Beneath the wide hat brim was a stern face!

The military uniform was neat, silver buttons were shiny, eyes were sharp!

The "officer" stepping onto the bridge’s front was quite unmatched in age and rank.

Just on the verge of forty years old, yet possessing the Golden Corn Shoulder Badge.

This was nearly one of the highest honors of the Battle Group.

Every high-ranking officer awarded the Golden Corn Shoulder Badge would invariably enter the command layer of the combat group.

Meaning, this person was a star general destined to be promoted to brigade commander at forty!

The Seventh Battle Group, Brigade Commander Mo Zhenting!

Visiting Heng Province!

The powerful Spiritual Ability User of the Netherworld Research Institute announced and transmitted this message to countless sub-consciousnesses of the Tai Monarch.
