Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1340: Breakthrough

Jiang Qing’Er also found it strange that a Vice President of Rice Company could live such a leisurely life—it was simply unbelievable.

Little did they know, Jiang Cheng’s leisure time was all arranged by Lei Bin. Lei Bin could tell that Jiang Cheng was a tech-savvy talent who didn’t like trouble. To ensure Jiang Cheng could fully dedicate himself to building Ten Thousand Realms better, Lei Bin hardly assigned Jiang Cheng any tasks. Otherwise, given Jiang Cheng’s efficiency, he would definitely be exhausted by the end of the day.

No work, you can clock out. Jiang Cheng said to Jiang Qing’Er. For once this day, Jiang Qing’Er didn’t call him a rogue, which already satisfied Jiang Cheng. Although Jiang Qing’Er seemed attracted to Yuan Liang, it was clear she hadn’t suffered much hardship and still had a bit of princess syndrome. Thus, Jiang Cheng didn’t have any other thoughts.

Oh, okay, see you tomorrow. Jiang Qing’Er said, simply tidied up, and left the office.

As soon as Jiang Qing’Er left, Jiang Cheng also headed out. Being in the office was dull; going home to tease the beautiful robot seemed far more interesting.

In twenty minutes, Jiang Qing’Er arrived at the entrance of her neighborhood. Just after getting off the car and before having a chance to enter the house, she noticed Jiang Cheng’s car driving in.

Is this jerk following me? Jiang Qing’Er’s first thought was. But Jiang Cheng’s car drove straight past her without stopping. It didn’t halt until it reached a place two or three buildings away from Jiang Qing’Er’s home. After Jiang Cheng got out of the car, he seemingly didn’t notice Jiang Qing’Er and directly entered his villa.

Does this jerk live here too? Jiang Qing’Er thought, no wonder she saw him around here in Ten Thousand Realms the other day. Jiang Qing’Er didn’t intend to drop by and went straight into her own place. After getting back to her bedroom, she immediately entered Ten Thousand Realms. She was eager to explore the interesting places inside.

In Ten Thousand Realms, Jiang Qing’Er didn’t linger outside like the last time. Instead, with just a thought, she arrived at Jiang Cheng’s house door. Initially, she wanted to appear right in front of Jiang Cheng to give him a fright, but Ten Thousand Realms seemed to have restrictions against such actions. Private places and operating fields couldn’t be accessed directly without entry permissions, effectively preventing any illegal activities.

Finding herself unable to enter Jiang Cheng’s place, Jiang Qing’Er was about to turn and leave when she discovered Jiang Cheng standing right behind her, giving her quite a scare.

What are you doing! Silent as a ghost behind me, are you a thief? Jiang Qing’Er yelled at him, feeling guilty.

Hey, you’re the one standing outside my house—shouldn’t I be asking you what you’re up to? Yet you turn it around on me! Jiang Cheng said, crossing his arms as he looked at Jiang Qing’Er.

Joking aside, this is Ten Thousand Realms. Who created it? Jiang Cheng! In Ten Thousand Realms, there was nothing Jiang Cheng didn’t know. Here, he held the highest authority. So, the moment Jiang Qing’Er arrived at his doorstep, Jiang Cheng became aware and, with just a thought, appeared behind Jiang Qing’Er, catching her red-handed. However, Jiang Cheng didn’t seem to intend to make things difficult for Jiang Qing’Er.

Since you’re so bored, why don’t you accompany me for a walk? Despite working on this system for so long, I haven’t properly enjoyed it yet, Jiang Cheng said to Jiang Qing’Er. What? What did you say just now, this Ten Thousand Realms was made by you? Jiang Qing’Er was shocked.

Jiang Qing’Er hadn’t watched the Ten Thousand Realms press conference; she only knew about it from news reports. So, she didn’t know it was Jiang Cheng who made this virtual world. In her mind, someone capable of creating such a monumental system would be at least seventy or eighty years old, yet she didn’t expect such young and humble brilliance! Instantly, Jiang Qing’Er’s impression of Jiang Cheng changed from negative to positive.

Jiang Cheng had no idea his simple words completely reshaped his image. If he knew, he would be over the moon. He genuinely wanted to experience the system, although everything was under control, some details might still need refining, but looking alone was boring! Since Jiang Qing’Er came to him willingly, how could he miss such an opportunity?

So, they walked side by side, hand in hand up the street. Well, the hand in hand part is my fabrication, but shoulder to shoulder is true. Ever since learning Jiang Cheng is the creator of Ten Thousand Realms, Jiang Qing’Er’s attitude took a complete 180-degree turn. As they walked, she peppered him with numerous questions like a curious child, and Jiang Cheng answered them all. After all, being seen as a genius feels pretty nice.

There were already quite a few people in Ten Thousand Realms, and there were many others strolling around. Cars were particularly scarce because people could teleport, who needs cars anymore? Though some still savored driving, enjoying the thrill on wide roads. Roadside stores hadn’t opened yet, as setting up a shop in Ten Thousand Realms required discussing specific cooperation matters with Rice Company first—some roads seemed somewhat deserted.

Walking down the street, Jiang Cheng felt dissatisfied with Ten Thousand Realms’ current state, though he couldn’t pinpoint where things went awry. Thus, Jiang Cheng seemed a bit preoccupied.

Seeing Jiang Cheng deep in thought, Jiang Qing’Er chose not to disturb him, and they quietly walked on. After all, it’s all virtual—walk as much as you want, exiting the system would reset everything.

Unknowingly, night fell, and the stars and moon emerged in the sky. Whether planned by Jiang Cheng or not, the starry sky in Ten Thousand Realms shone bright enough to mesmerize Jiang Qing’Er, who blurted out casually, If only I could have a star.

Beside her, Jiang Cheng snorted dismissively upon hearing Jiang Qing’Er, Keep dreaming. Not gonna happen.

If only anything one wants could be possible, Jiang Qing’Er said absentmindedly, yet those words seemed to strike a chord with Jiang Cheng, causing him to freeze briefly before excitedly saying to Jiang Qing’Er, You’re so brilliant! Haha, thank you so much, tomorrow I’ll give you a raise! After speaking, Jiang Cheng’s figure faded away, exiting the system.

Jiang Qing’Er’s sentence shook him greatly. What’s the most direct goal for the Virtual Reality System? It’s to achieve things in the system that can’t be realized in real life. Otherwise, what’s the point of mirroring reality exactly? A system that fulfills everyone’s wishes and embodies each imaginative idea is what truly defines virtual reality’s meaning. Socializing is only a small aspect of virtual reality. With this realization, Jiang Cheng felt a surge of fresh ideas forming in his mind.

Hello, President Lei! I have something to discuss with you regarding Ten Thousand Realms! Jiang Cheng called Lei Bin directly, as he couldn’t wait another moment.

Come to my place, or better yet, just meet me in Ten Thousand Realms—it’s more convenient! Lei Bin said over the phone. Okay, remember to log on. Jiang Cheng quickly hung up the call and immediately logged back on. With a thought, he appeared in front of Lei Bin; in Ten Thousand Realms, he alone faced no limitations.
