Chapter 589: A Mysterious Game!

“It is, of course, the most lucrative business in the new civilization generation now…” Xie Haiyang cleared his throat after hearing Wang Baole’s question. He took a look at his surroundings, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he spoke with a low and proud tone.

“That is… games!”

“Games?” Wang Baole was confused. He didn’t seem to really understand what Xie Haiyang meant. He was about to speak again when Xie Haiyang raised his right hand and took out a jade slip. He pressed the jade slip in front of Wang Baole, and instantly, the jade slip glowed, two shining runes appearing on it.

Wang Baole had clearly never seen the runes before, but when he took a look at it, an authoritative voice reverberated in his mind.

“Descend!”

As that word created a wave of shock in Wang Baole’s mind, Xie Haiyang laughed and began explaining.

“Did you hear that? This is a game created using a special technique. It solves the problem of language, and anyone can get the hang of it easily. It is known as ‘Descend’, and the business that we will establish would involve managing this game!

“Let me tell you… this game is impressive. I only managed to obtain it after spending a hefty amount and activating some of my channels. It can allow the gamer to immerse themselves in a virtual reality within it, and it would feel extremely real!

“Do you want to strike it rich? Begin the game!

“Do you want to pick up babes? Begin the game!

“Do you want to become the top leader? Begin the game!”

“Whatever the case, as long as you have paid for the game, you will be the most formidable!” Xie Haiyang grew increasingly agitated as he spoke. In the end, he even clapped and chuckled heartily.

“These novice gamers of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace have probably never come across a game of this type and level of technology. Therefore, once they get the hang of it, they would definitely become addicted to it, and once that happens, haha… They would start paying for it. Then, us brothers would strike it rich!” Xie Haiyang was excited, and even his eyes were glowing brightly.

However, Wang Baole was still confused. He looked at the jade slip, and then back at Xie Haiyang, but still couldn’t reconcile the game with the current Spirit Inception Era. Therefore, he couldn’t help but question.

“Xie Haiyang, is the game… reliable? Who would play it? If they had time, they would either carry out their missions or cultivate…”

Noticing that Wang Baole was becoming doubtful, Xie Haiyang panicked and hurriedly spoke.

“It’s definitely reliable. My nickname is ‘Reliable’! This game would definitely be a hit. This is the asset that was specifically made by my family clan to reign over the entire Never-Ending Dao College… Erm…” With that, Xie Haiyang hurriedly shut his mouth. It seemed that he had said something that he shouldn’t have said. Therefore, he quickly swept his gaze at Wang Baole, and after realizing that Wang Baole didn’t notice anything, Xie Haiyang hesitated and continued to speak.

“Whatever the case, this is something that I have secretly gotten. If you help me to promote it, I will give you ten percent of the profits!”

Wang Baole appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually experiencing shock internally. In reality, what Xie Haiyang had said just now had revealed his background, which made one think hard about it. However, Wang Baole also felt that Xie Haiyang could probably have done it on purpose as well. After all, Wang Baole, as someone who was very familiar with the teachings in the high officials’ autobiographies, had done something similar to his schoolmates when he was younger. He would pretend to have let the cat out of the bag to brag about an illustrious background that didn’t exist, in order to achieve his goal.

Is what Xie Haiyang said the truth or not… After thinking about it, Wang Baole still couldn’t determine if it was the truth. Therefore, he looked at Xie Haiyang, and then at the jade slip in his hands.

“I’ll decide after trying the game out.”

“No problem, I will give you a unique privilege so that you can experience it for yourself.” Xie Haiyang felt at peace instantly, thinking silently in his heart that once someone started playing the game, it was very unlikely that they would dislike it. Therefore, in his excitement, he sealed his hands on the jade slip before passing it to Wang Baole. After telling Wang Baole about the method for playing the game, Xie Haiyang bid farewell and left.

When Xie Haiyang left, Wang Baole took a look at the jade slip and tossed it aside. He didn’t plan to look at the game immediately and wanted to continue meditating and cultivating instead.

Wang Baole had more or less gained a complete understanding of the third level of the Lightning Immortal Transformation. He estimated that he would be able to successfully cultivate the third level of the Lightning Immortal Transformation in half a month at most.

However, the progress for the cultivation of the second level Flame Snatch Thearch Armor was lagging behind significantly. Despite that, Wang Baole knew that he shouldn’t rush into the matter. As long as he continued to cultivate, it wouldn’t be long before he succeeded.

Just like that, after meditating for several days, Wang Baole thought about Xie Haiyang’s game during a period of free time. Therefore, he took out the jade slip again, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was no major danger involved. However, he wanted to remain on the side of caution and called the donkey out. The donkey looked extremely confused as it was held by Wang Baole by its hooves and pressed onto the jade slip.

“Son…” The donkey was instantly dumbfounded. Even before it could scream fully, with its head turned to look at Wang Baole, its body shuddered and disappeared!

It was as if the donkey had been sucked away by the jade slip. Even its aura was gone without a trace. That surprised Wang Baole, who immediately picked up the jade slip to take a look.

Wang Baole felt that the donkey’s aura had disappeared, but he could still connect with him vaguely due to the presence of the jade slip. He heaved a sigh of relief since it appeared that there was no danger.

This game is a little bizarre… Where did the donkey go? After thinking about it, Wang Baole tried to end the game and call the donkey out. However, at that moment, the donkey seemed to have signaled its excitement and agitation and didn’t want to return.

Wang Baole stared and didn’t want to grant the donkey its wishes. He twisted the jade slip, and the donkey appeared in front of him as if it were teleported back. When the donkey appeared, Wang Baole was taken aback.

Even though no change seemed to have occurred to the donkey, a look of disappointment was clear in its eyes. It even raised its hooves by itself to touch the jade slip, as if it wanted to return.

That made Wang Baole curious. He pushed the donkey aside, not caring about how dejected and wronged it was as it lay there. Wang Baole held the jade slip and pressed it after a brief moment. Instantly, everything was a blur in Wang Baole’s eyes, as if a large suction force had sent him into a vortex. There was no discomfort, and the next moment, when he opened his eyes, there was emptiness before him!

That emptiness was boundless and unimaginably vast. In front of him, there were hundreds of light clusters that were gray in color. They all seemed to have been sealed closed, with only one of them shining brilliantly.

Wang Baole looked at everything in front of him, suspiciously. After thinking about it, he looked intently at the brilliant light cluster. The moment he looked at it, countless illusory figures appeared from the brilliant light cluster. There were humans, beasts, as well as vegetation amongst the illusory figures.

The illusory figures of humans were similar to that of the Federation cultivators. However, there were also some differences. For example, their ears were smaller, their noses were longer, and they had a third eye on their glabella. They were also slightly shorter. However, without exception, even though they looked slightly different from the Federation cultivators, they were all extremely handsome and beautiful.

Wang Baole was momentarily dazed. After taking a detailed look, numerous messages appeared before his eyes!

“Sixth-grade spirit cultivator Tune Seeker from the Herodium civilization…”

“Third-grade spirit cultivator Roda from the Herodium civilization…”

“First-grade spirit cultivator Palace Protector from the Herodium civilization…”

The messages that appeared before his eyes were runes, but Wang Baole could understand them clearly when he read them. That created ripples in Wang Baole’s heart, and the more he looked, the more the messages appeared. Wang Baole gasped as he began to understand that each of those countless figures… When he looked at them, they would reveal their identity and background. He could descend and replace them if he had the intention to!

So… This is ‘Descend’? After a brief moment of silence, Wang Baole chose a message to read in detail. It was about a ninth-grade spirit cultivator named Ouya. Instantly, when the image before Wang Baole’s eyes cleared up, he had reappeared in a noisy public square buzzing with people. There were also spirit cultivators dashing about in the skies. He even noticed some combat vehicles rushing by. The surrounding buildings were also different from that of the Federation, and they were mostly mushroom-shaped.

Without waiting for Wang Baole to get used to everything, a pleasant yet fearful voice arrived by his ears.

“Great spirit cultivator, please buy me. All you require is one spirit crystal…”
