After having finished explaining these four rules, Graham looked at Lin Chuyin and the other two, then said, “I never thought that a Planet that had only just connected to the Milky Way Virtual Network actually had three magicians, and they are all elemental revolving magicians.” Speaking up to this point, he looked at Zhang Yi again and said, “Especially this one, she is a Magic Warrior with stats that are all above 600... That’s a Magic Warrior, out of the 20,000 plus Planets with life in the Milky Way, there are only 200 plus Magic Warriors added up. That’s akin to one lucky Magic Warrior out of a thousand Planets, and yet...”
Graham’s eyes were listless. “What’s more, she’s a Magic Warrior who reached the elemental revolving level...”
The information in what he said was quite large, Hong Dali listened till his eyes went big—he didn’t remember a single word. Luckily, the Bureau Chief came along with him. Those who could reach the level of being the Boss of the National Security Bureau all had good brains. He quickly listed out a few main points in what Graham said and asked one by one. “This, Mr. Graham, the first point, everyone’s basic stats, what is it about? I keep hearing you mention these stats, is it using that... Those spectacles that you are wearing?”
“Yes.” Graham nodded. “This is the only technology item that can be brought into this world. Simply put, this is a device to increase the convenience of those adventuring in the virtual world. This thing can read a person’s basic stats, which consists of strength, agility, and reflexes. Normally, the higher the stats, the more powerful a person is. Of course, this depends on the person itself too...” He had quite a setback, mainly from that monster called Geezer Wang...
“Oh, I see. This is truly a good device.” The Bureau Chief decisively said, “Then, can you give us a few...” Didn’t he say that this device could be used by anyone? Therefore, it shouldn’t be a problem to ask for a few.
As expected, Graham directly agreed. “Sure, no problem. This thing isn’t worth much, you can have as many as you want.”
“Thank you, Mr. Graham.” He would instantly bring it back for research later. The Bureau Chief continued to ask, “Then, the martial arts in the Milky Way Virtual World, can it really increase a person’s strength? Is it really effective? How do we differentiate between the levels of the different martial arts? Also, I am very curious, how much attributes can the martial arts increase?”
This was a very important thing.
Graham said that they could adventure in this world, so obviously, a person’s combat might was very important. If not, Graham wouldn’t have mentioned this rule. It was just that he didn’t understand it very well, so the Bureau Chief needed to ask more clearly.
“Of course it’s effective, this is definitely real.” Graham slowly introduced. “The martial arts are split into nine different levels. The first one can double a persons’ stats, the second can triple a persons’ stats, and so on. The ninth level can increase a persons’ stats nine times. Of course, it can only increase the basic stats, so that’s not too rare. The most crucial thing is that the higher the level the martial arts is, the more powerful its moves are. For example, when we are star trekking and discover an inhabited Planet, although there aren’t any humans on it, the animals on it are all very powerful. Many precious resources like metals, jewels, and such can’t be obtained by blowing them up with the cannons on our ships. Therefore, there’s a problem—how can we obtain these valuable resources. Very obviously, there are limiting factors through using technology, such as laser cannons and such. For example, if we meet with a Zerg army, laser cannons aren’t very effective, so we can only increase our own ability in order to survive.”
His meaning was very simple. The Universe was too vast, there was a lot of unknown danger in it. If they only depended on technological weapons, it was obviously not enough to handle every dangerous situation.
Therefore, only through combining both technology and combat might could they better survive in the Universe.
“Yup, that’s indeed true.” The Bureau Chief nodded and then looked at Levis—this fellow had obviously gained a huge advantage. If Levis learned a ninth level martial arts, with his ability to enhance his muscles to 1,000% and then multiply that by ten (nine levels of enhancement plus the original stats)... His strength attribute would be close to 20,000? God, Hong Dali’s luck is really...
The others had thought of this too and all looked at Levis. Then, they all shifted their gaze to Hong Dali—the number of strange and talented people under this guy was really quite a lot. Look, there’s the Blood who can defeat someone stronger than him, the Milky Way warrior like Geezer Wang, the monster Levis, a Magic Warrior, and two magicians. Plus a super terrifying baby...
Hong Dali was near invincible. From now on, they should call him Invincible Hong...
“Why are all of you looking at me like that?” Hong Dali didn’t have any sense of carrying a huge treasure. “I am a prodigal, not a war fanatic, my goal in life is to squander. Don’t expect me to go and conquer the Universe or something, that isn’t my style—even if there is a ninth level martial art, I wouldn’t learn it too!”
“You little rascal!” The Bureau Chief frantically said, “Do you even know what that represents?”
“It’s not like we can eat it.” Hong Dali muttered, “Is physical activity something that a prodigal should do? You are really... Ah, Uncle Graham, continue, please continue, don’t mind me.”
Fine, I knew that this fellow wouldn’t be interested in fighting and killing...
The Bureau Chief helplessly clasped his head and decisively changed the topic. “Then, Mr. Graham, what you mean is that the martial arts in this world work both ways? For example, if my strength attribute in this world is a hundred, then when I learn a level one martial art, my stat in this world would be 200. Then, if I learn it again in the real world, my stat here would become 400?”
“That’s right.” Graham nodded. “Therefore, the higher the grade of the martial arts, the more valuable it is. However, this stuff is very valuable. A level one martial art costs as much as three million Galaxy Dollar, and there aren’t many selling it still. Even if you have the money, you won’t necessarily be able to buy it.”
God!
The Bureau Chief and the rest all sucked in a deep breath. Level one martial arts were actually so expensive!?
“Then... If it’s a level nine martial arts, wouldn’t it be...” The Bureau Chief was astonished. A level one martial arts already cost three million, then wouldn’t a level nine one cost tens of billions of Galaxy Dollars?
“Yup, how should I put it.” Graham touched his chin, thought for a while, then said, “I know that previously a person found a level three martial arts and directly exchanged for 50 life Planets with it.”
“A level three martial arts is already worth so much!?” The Bureau Chief was completely stunned.
Exchanging for 50 life planets with a level three martial arts!? This... This... Isn’t this price too high?
“Actually, you don’t have to think about it so much.” Graham smiled and said, “Currently speaking, the highest martial arts that can be seen on the market is the level three ones. We have basically not heard of anything higher. The information that there are nine levels for martial arts came from Beta Planet, but no one knows if it’s true or false. Whatever the case, no one has ever seen anything higher than level three martial arts, so maybe they were just bluffing. Who knows.”
“That’s true.” That was the noble race in the Milky Way, it was akin to a super incredible Planet, something like the status of the Hong Family in Heavenly State’s Internet industry. Basically, they were very impressive. The Bureau Chief continued to ask, “Looks like it’s not very possible to learn martial arts currently, even you guys don’t have it too. I reckon we won’t be able to get hold of it anytime soon. Instead, this Galaxy Dollar, how much purchasing power does it have?”
This was a serious matter. It looked like Hong Dali would definitely be entering the Universe in the future, so they had to gain some basic knowledge of such matters first. This was to prevent them from not even knowing how much purchasing power they had when they entered the Universe, that would be quite problematic.
“The purchasing power...” Graham thought for a while and said, “Let’s put it this way, one Galaxy Dollar can be exchanged for 500 normal slaves, the types that can do some physical work. A small starship that can be used for space traveling is worth about 5,000 Galaxy Dollars. Oh right, you guys can’t do star trekking yet, I have to tell you the detailed statistics. A small starship is about ten meters long, made from normal steel. It can directly enter space from a Planet, and its speed in the Universe is about 10,000 meters per second ad can travel for seven days.”
500 normal slaves for one Galaxy Dollar.
A small starship that could travel for seven days, ten meters long, directly enter space, traveled at a speed of 10,000 meters per second or so, was only worth 5,000 Galaxy Dollars!?
This... The purchasing power of this Galaxy Dollar was really high...
“Actually, Galaxy Dollars are normally used by the rich only.” Graham smiled and said, “Normally, the ordinary people in the Milky Way Alliance only uses Planet Dollars. The exchange rate is about a hundred Planet Dollars for one Galaxy Dollar. Of course, this depends on the place too. Trade between Planets normally uses Planet Dollars, but in those super-cities in the center of the Milky Way Alliance, we normally use Galaxy Dollars.”
This was easy to understand.
In small places like Jaban State, they would use the Yen. Internationally, they would use the Merikan Dollars instead. This was roughly the same meaning.
“OK, I roughly understand now.” Finally clearing his doubt, the Bureau Chief laughed and asked, “Then, the fourth question. This magician, what kind of condition is needed? What’s with the magicians and that elemental revolving thing?”
“Honestly speaking, I am not very sure of what is required to become a magician too.” Graham helplessly shrugged and said, “After all, magicians are too rare, there is normally only one or two in a Planet. Yet, you guy have three here...”
Speaking up to this point, he gave a long sigh and said, “As for what they can do, they can summon the wind and rain, use the elements to attack or defend. Each magician can only use one type of magic in his entire life. Of course...” He looked at Hong Dali and said, “There are exceptions...”
