Swallowed Star: Sacrifice to become stronger, the fiancée is enchanting

Chapter 153 Be Prepared
The next moment, Jiang Lan felt his brain was in a trance, and then the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The original spaceship cockpit was turned into a street paved with bluestone slabs.

On both sides of the street are buildings of various shapes, with an indescribable futuristic style.

And around him, there was a crowd of people.

The people were of different heights, weights, and skin colors.

"This is the virtual universe network..."

Jiang Lan was shocked by the scene before him and whispered to himself.

"Hey, how about it, shocking, right?"

Babata's familiar voice sounded in Jiang Lan's ears.

"Ok?"

Jiang Lan turned his head and looked towards his shoulder.

Normally, when Babata communicated with him, the sound was in his brain, but this time it was not the case.

When his eyes swept to his shoulder, Jiang Lan saw that there was an elf only the size of an adult's fist sitting on his shoulder.

This elf has horns on his head and a black robe covering his entire body. Isn't he just a smaller version of Babata?
"What are you doing?"

Jiang Lan asked in surprise.

"I am an intelligent life form, so of course I can appear in the virtual universe. Didn't you see that other people also have their own elves on their shoulders?"

Jiang Lan looked at the crowd.

Just as Babata said, on the shoulders of other people, there were also elves of different colors sitting, but most of them looked like machines, and did not have the vivid feeling like Babata.

Jiang Lan turned his head to look at Babata again, then closed his eyes and felt it.

Entering this virtual universe feels similar to entering the Palace of War God on Earth.

However, although the War God Palace seems very real, if you look carefully, you can tell that you are in a virtual space.

But this virtual universe is completely different.

Here, there is absolutely no difference from the real world.

If Jiang Lan didn't know that he was in the virtual universe, he would even think that he was still in the real world, just in a different place.

Opening his eyes again, Jiang Lan sighed:

"Brilliant!"

Babata, who was sitting on his shoulder, smiled.

"Of course, the Virtual Universe Company is the largest force in the universe. And what you see now is just the tip of the iceberg in the virtual universe.

"We are now at the edge of the Qianwu Continent, on the Black Dragon Island."

"island?"

"Yes, but although it is an island, the area of ​​the Black Dragon Mountain Island is larger than any planet you have ever seen. After all, as long as you are within the territory of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and enter the virtual universe network, you will appear on this Black Dragon Mountain Island.

"And the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region has more than 8,000 star systems. In these 8,000 star systems, there are countless planets, and the number of people online is simply incalculable."

"Brilliant!"

Jiang Lan turned into a ruthless sighing machine.

Before, the universe was just a vague concept to him.

But now, Jiang Lan felt the vastness of the universe personally.

The Babata voice continued.

"The elves on the shoulders of the people you saw just now are their 'virtual assistants'. As long as you enter the virtual network, you will be equipped with them. The intelligence of the virtual assistant depends on whether the person surfing the Internet is using a 'virtual helmet', 'auxiliary optical brain', 'intelligent optical brain' or 'intelligent life'.

"The higher the level of the equipment, the smarter the assistant. If it is the lowest level virtual helmet, it is almost the same as the artificial intelligence on your Earth, and is no different from a mentally retarded person. But for an intelligent life like me, hehe..." As he spoke, Babata grinned, with a look of pride on his face.

Jiang Lan couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, let me introduce it to you again." Babata said: "In the virtual universe, you can teleport, chat with friends remotely, learn martial arts, trade, and play games. The degree of simulation of the game is also 100%. There is nothing you can't play, except what you can't think of.

"In short, you can think of this virtual universe as a super huge planet where countless elites gather together. What can be done in the real world can also be done in the virtual universe. And what cannot be done in the real world can also be done in the virtual universe."

Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows.

According to Babata, this virtual universe is really a bit outrageous.

If everything here didn't require money, I'm afraid many people would spend their entire lives in this virtual universe, escaping from reality.

After all, the real world has no advantages compared to this virtual universe.

While chatting with Babata, Jiang Lan walked along the street.

There are shops on both sides of the street, and the signs are all written in the universal language of the universe.

There are many types of shops, with everything available, and there are even quite a few restaurants.

Jiang Lan asked curiously:

"Eating in the virtual universe can be reflected in reality?"

"What are you thinking? Of course not." Babata was speechless. "If the virtual universe is so powerful, then why do we need the real world? We all live in the virtual universe."

He changed the subject and continued:
"Although it can't fill your stomach, the food here is much more delicious than in reality. After all, the taste is simulated, and it can be simulated to best suit your appetite."

Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows.

"Then I have to try it."

Anyway, it will take a few days to return to Earth.

During this period, he basically spent his entire time in the virtual universe.

It's just a meal, not a waste of time.

After talking to Babata, Jiang Lan walked into a restaurant nearby.

The restaurant has a beautiful environment and the decoration is nothing special, but there are no service staff, only a virtual screen for ordering.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Jiang Lan casually ordered a few dishes on the virtual ordering screen.

When the dishes were served, Jiang Lan said to Babata on his shoulder:

"By the way, please help me buy a warehouse near the Earth. Not too close, not too far."

"Why? You want to buy something?"

"I have this idea, but I haven't decided what to buy yet."

Now that I have money and the virtual universe is so convenient, it is inevitable that I will buy some random things in the future.

Things that can be purchased certainly cannot be delivered directly to Earth.

Therefore, it is necessary to rent or buy a warehouse on other planets that are relatively close to the earth.

It's always better to be prepared.

"Okay, I'll help you take a look."

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Lan grinned.

The good thing about intelligent life is that it can find what it wants directly through the Internet.

If he were to come by himself, it would probably take him a while just to find it.

"Found it. It's 23,000 light years away from Earth, on Prismatic Star. There are large warehouses for sale there, and the price is right."
