The Geared Immortal

Chapter 326 - Awaken To A New World? Part 6



The rise and fall of Susan Tang Part 2

/*unedited*/

The morning light shone through the two lite slider windows as the golden glow of the sun slowly crept inside the room. Susan Tang\'s beautiful sleeping face seems peaceful and tranquil. As the sun\'s rays reflected on her glowing skin, her long beautiful eyelashes fluttered. Her eyes slowly open as she stretches her body upon waking up.

Then from the corner of her eyes, she saw a young man sitting in a lotus position.

"Hah! You…what are you doing in my room?" she suddenly shouted as she unconsciously covers her body.

She then tried to check her body under the sheet, upon noticing that nothing seems to be amiss, she heaves a sigh of relief.

Then she cautiously turned her gaze at Shin Jiao who is currently still cultivating. He was too immersed in the feeling of Qi entering his dantian that he didn\'t even hear what is happening around him. All of his senses as of now are focused within his body as he observes the flow of Qi within his veins and meridians.

As the Qi flows, he noticed that the spheres within his mind also reacted and combined with the Qi in his body making it flow faster. The rate of absorption was really fast that Shin Jiao almost groan as he saw his dantian filling with Qi. Then suddenly something happened, it\'s like water breaking through a dam, the Qi inside him began to enter his own soul.

"Is this the thing that they called breakthrough?" Shin Jiao thought.

Shin Jiao\'s body is already that of a soul forming realm cultivator. But as he entered the earth, something seems to be restricting his strength and power. So now, he can only use half of his strength, but none of his power.

Although he can\'t remember anything, Shin Jiao\'s curious mind is already deducing what is happening.

Then suddenly an idea struck him.

If the sphere within his mind dantian is unaffected by the restriction of this world, then why not create another sphere container for the Qi in his body. This way there would be no excess Qi that would exude out of him.

Upon noting this idea, he began to do some experiments.

An unknown thought came into him and followed it through and many spheres suddenly appear within his dantian. Shin Jiao observed that within his dantian there are 5 sphere containers with 9 spheres in each of them. However, he observed that in total his dantian can contain a total of 10 sphere containers. However, the other 5 are still nonexistent so he didn\'t bother with those yet.

After forming the spheres, he noticed that the Qi he absorbs starts to fill the tiny spheres. Suddenly he recalled something… cultivation level.

"So this means that the 5 sphere containers inside me are the realms, and the 9 spheres are the level within that realm… infant soul realm? What is that?" he thought as he tried to muse on his discoveries.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao was jolted back to reality when he feels someone tugging on him.

When he opened his eyes, he noticed that it is already morning. And a beautiful young woman is currently standing in front of him.

"Hey, what\'s wrong with you. I was trying to wake you for a while now." Susan Tang asked with worry clearly written on her expression.

"I\'m fine, it\'s just I was in a deep concentration." Shin Jiao said as he slowly stood.

"That\'s fine then, let\'s eat…" she said as she walked out of the room and went to the dining table.

While eating breakfast, Susan Tang was quiet and seems to be in deep thought.

"Hey, are you okay? Don\'t think about it too much. Since you are helping me, I already gave you a promise to be of help, right? If you have failed your first business, why not create a new one?" Shin Jiao suggested.

"Sigh… I wanted to, but my mind is running out of an idea." Susan Tang replied with a helpless reaction.

"The communication is widely used nowadays, why not focused on that?"

"Heh, what do you know? The internet is a great way to earn, but the market is too diverse. I want something that can grab attention. That way we can earn more money."

Upon hearing her words, Shin Jiao agreed with her. Right now, he also needed money to buy move resources for making artifacts to enhance his cultivation.

"Hmm…" an idea once again pops up from within his mind.

"Virtual world… I can\'t seem to recall that there is a virtual world."

"Haha… A virtual world is almost impossible. The brain domain is like a really secured security box. It is impossible to access and impossible to read… Many claimed that they can read the brain waves, but until now that is still a black hole. They can\'t seem to take another step forward. So that technology would take eons before it can be realized."

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao suddenly showed a strange smile on his face.

For others, it might be a black hole, but deep in his mind he already has the idea of what to do next.

Spirit Qi is a very mysterious element, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. But it has many functions, and since it uses one\'s spirit for it to flow, it can be controlled using the same way.

He knew that the brain is the reason why a person can move. But the question is how the brain processing does happen? And the answer is simple, the existence of the soul. As a cultivator, he is already aware of the soul\'s presence within a person. Hence, the soul is the one that commands the brain.

With this logic, a blueprint began to form within his thoughts as he thinks about his suggestion.

"Wait here, I will make something." Shin Jiao said as he walked towards the pile of metal he put aside.

He began to gather the materials, and also went outside to gather more.

Soon he came back to the living room and began putting them one by one on the floor.

"What are those things?" Susan Tang asked.

She found that some of the things Shin Jiao brought in were rocks and some recyclable plastic containers.

"Hey, be done with your breakfast before handling those dirty stuff." She said.

"I\'m done with my breakfast, I\'ll just make this quick." Shin Jiao replied as he began to sit in a lotus position on the cold floor.

With the use of the strange energy within his body, he began to mold those things into his desired shapes. It didn\'t take long until he finished crafting a palm-size container.

Then using the stone he carefully broke it and took a thumb-size clear stone inside. He then uses a tree branch and turns it into something like a pen. He then began writing tiny inscription lines on the surface of that thumb-sized clear stone.

After that, he put it inside the container and also began writing rune inscription lines inside it. After closing the palm-size container, he took some old copper wire and began melting them. Not long later, Shin Jiao was done and a rough visor like thingy was crafted by him.

He then tried it and a smile crept on his face.

This time Susan Tang has already stopped eating and both her eyes and mouth are wide open in disbelief. She didn\'t expect to see such a miraculous thing in front of her eyes. Everything was like magic and more.

"Alright, I think this would do." Shin Jiao said as he walked towards her.

"Do you want to try it?" Shin Jiao asked with a confident smile on his face.

"What… what is this?" Susan Tang was awoken and subconsciously asked.

"Virtual world… or something like that. It\'s empty inside though as I didn\'t create any program in it yet. But you can still explore it thought." He replied.

Susan Tang received the visor as Shin Jiao led her through the living room sofa.

"You have to lie down…"

"Okay, then, what should I do next?"

"Nothing, just experience it first."

Susan Tang was a bit skeptical of Shin Jiao\'s suggestion, however, she was feeling a bit excited about what would happen.

Right now, if what Shin Jiao is saying the truth, then on her hand is the very first real virtual world. If this is the case, then she can market this as it is and the product would become a hit in the market in just a short time.

But then suddenly complicated problems began to pop out from her subconscious thoughts.

"No, I should not think about it just yet. I need to concentrate. If this is what I think it is, then the future will surely change. I… I will be a failure anymore." She thought as her emotion began to be riled up.

Susan Tang carefully put the visor on her head.

"What should I do next?" she asked with an expectant voice.

"Just wait for it." Shin Jiao replied.

Suddenly, before Susan Tang could say another word, she found her vision turning a bit blurry. She blinked her eyes as she tried to see things clearly. She then noticed that everything around her has changed.

But what she is seeing and feeling is still normal.

"Where… where am I?" she suddenly asked.

Then suddenly, her eyes went wide in disbelief upon realizing what had happened. Then her breathing became rapid as her heart was filled with great excitement.

Right now, in front of her is a reflection of a beautiful woman wearing her pajamas, but one thing is for sure. She is not lying on the sofa but instead floating inside a white blank place with only a mirror on sight.

Now she knew that the future is at hand, and she along with a mysterious man named Shin Jiao would shape it with their own hands.

"This… this is a true virtual world."
