54 Gene Hunting Ground (1/2)

Flames shot out and the powerful counteracting force pushed the space shuttle to advance further in the starry sky.

Earth and Mars were in the same solar system, and it wasn't considered far in an interstellar travel that used light years as a counter. Therefore, there wasn't a need to use wormholes to travel.

It was also because of this that Feng Lin was able to see such beautiful scenery.

A huge fireball was floating in the dark outer space, emitting endless light and heat. Jupiter, Mars, Venus... all the planets kept on circulating around the Sun. In the distance, the stars were shining brightly, lighting up the dark sky. The miraculous, magnificent, and vast side of the universe was now presented before him.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, one would grow to become sick of it after a while.

Although the starry sky was beautiful, it was too plain. It was hard to sense its changes using human's time as a measurement.

After a while, Feng Lin drew back his gaze.

Right now, everyone in the surroundings all seemed to be very bored as if they were no longer interested in this scene.

Feng Lin blushed a little, thankful that he hadn't revealed any strange reactions. Otherwise, other people would view him as a joke.

It required six hours to travel from Earth to Mars. Feng Lin had sufficient rest the night before, and it was a waste for him to just sit there and do nothing.

Feng Lin looked toward the virtual facilities.

As expected of the luxurious cabin. The facilities were great.

He was still feeling sorry that he hadn't been able to experience the virtual universe yesterday. Now, he had the chance to do so.

Six hours was enough.

One hour in the real world was equivalent to one day in the virtual universe.

Based on this, he would be able to stay inside for six days until he was forced to go offline when the injunction kicked in.

Feng Lin closed his cabin's door and connected to the virtual facilities.

Familiar data currents flowed before him. When he got back to his senses, he had once again entered the virtual universe.

Stepping in void space, Feng Lin contemplated what he should do next.

This was really a problematic question.

The virtual universe was a multivariate world. It contained countless elements, and there were endless ways to enjoy it.

As long as one wished for something, they would be able to do it.

To enter a relationship with the main character of a movie, to physically experience clearing the trials in a game, to explore the animation world... There were no limitations, only absolute freedom. 1,000 people would have 1,000 ways of enjoying this place. There were boundless possibilities.

This was also why the virtual universe was so attractive. One would never get sick of it.

If a person were to explore the possibilities one by one, they would get dizzy from the options. Their entire lifetime wouldn't be enough.

Therefore, there was a need to make a choice.

To enter a relationship with the main character of a movie, to explore the world of a comic, to play games... Feng Lin wasn't interested in all these. It was a waste of effort and time and was completely useless.

It was impossible for him to spend his effort on these things that would be a waste of his life. Overindulgence would prevent one from making progress in life.

The virtual world was just a virtual world after all. It couldn't replace the real world.

However, the virtual universe could serve to simulate the real world.

Therefore, Feng Lin had an idea. He wanted to enjoy the things that were beneficial to him.

In real life, he was a cultivator apprentice. What was there in this virtual universe that could provide reinforcement to his cultivation or strengthen his comprehension?

That's right!

The virtual universe simulated the real world. Did that mean that genes could also be simulated?

The answer was certainly yes.

With this goal, he searched for some information. The virtual universe refreshed itself non-stop, constantly turning the things it scanned in the real world into relative data and then attempted the simulation.

The mythological genes were what everyone in the real universe wanted to awaken. Of course, he wouldn't let it slip by.

However, awakening in the virtual universe was different from that in the actual universe—it was completely based on data. It was like a game where the genes weren't actually awakened but were just virtual data modules.

Players could equip themselves with gene modules to imitate their abilities in real life. They could also change their gene modules to use different abilities.

Feng Lin felt that everything was new and interesting. These gene modules would undeniably allow people to experience the difference in genetic abilities to the greatest possible extent.

But how could one obtain gene modules?

Feng Lin started to search for this information and discovered that the most commonly used method was to pay with money.

As long as one was willing to spend money in the virtual universe, one would be able to do anything. They would even be able to simulate a goddess from myths and legends, enjoying an inseparable life with her as her lover. There were no limits to what could be done.
