Metal buildings that were hundreds or even thousands of meters tall rose from the ground.
The buildings were of different shapes. Some were the most common shapes, square and nothing out of the ordinary. However, some buildings were extremely strange and violated the most basic principles of architecture. It was almost impossible for them to exist in the real world.
The ground was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust. It was so clean that it reflected the faces of the pedestrians.
There were many pedestrians on the streets. Different races could be seen. They had strange appearances and different heights. Some were as tall as a normal human, while others were as tall as five or six meters. There were also some that were only half the height of an adult. If one did not lower their heads, they would not be noticed.
In the center of the streets was a wide square.
In this kind of environment, Wang Teng's figure appeared abruptly in the plaza.
The people around him were not surprised. They glanced at Wang Teng and did not pay any attention to him after seeing that there was nothing special about him.
"This is … the virtual universe?" Wang Teng looked around curiously. His eyes were filled with amazement.
Sure enough, this place was very different from the virtual reality he had entered before. The city he had entered in the virtual reality was empty, and there was almost no one in sight. However, here, there was a sea of people, and it was extraordinarily lively. It was filled with the smell of fireworks.
It was like a real world!
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, right? Isn't it magical?" Yuan Gungun's voice sounded directly in Wang Teng's mind. He sounded very proud.
"I didn't expect you to succeed." Wang Teng looked around and communicated with Yuan Gungun in his mind.
He realized that there was a small figure following the people around him. They all had different appearances. Some were small animals, some were little people with wings, and some were plants with human faces. These plants with human faces could even open their mouths and speak. It was very magical.
"Of course, I'm an intelligent life form!" Yuan Gungun's nose was almost in the air. He saw Wang Teng's gaze and introduced, "Those are intelligent fairies. They can assist their masters in the virtual universe. However, they are also divided into different levels. You probably won't find many intelligent life forms like me."
Wang Teng saw that Yuan Gungun was bragging and could not help but roll his eyes. Yuan Gungun was too narcissistic.
"Where are we now?" he asked.
"We entered the virtual universe from the Qian Empire's territory through the 'star network'. Therefore, we are on the Da Qian continent," Yuan Gungun said.
"The Da Qian continent!" Wang Teng blinked.
"Yes, the Da Qian continent, a vast continent. The Da Qian Empire is a high tier universe civilization, its territory is vast and boundless, with thousands of solar systems and countless planets. There are countless races entering the virtual universe at every moment, so the Da Qian Empire's territory in the virtual universe is huge. Even though it's called a continent, it's actually bigger than several planets combined," Round Face explained.
"Unbelievable!" Wang Teng exclaimed.
"Now, let me introduce you to the functions of the virtual universe. Here, as long as you have money, you can enjoy anything. Martial arts, learning, trading, finance …" The Yuan Gungun explained, "The universe is too vast. The distance between people is very far. It is very difficult for friends to meet each other. However, in the virtual universe, the distance is shortened by a lot. You can communicate with your friends or meet them directly through teleportation. It is very convenient!"
"You can also get to know like-minded warriors, exchange martial arts, and increase your network."
"In addition, you can also conduct financial transactions in the virtual universe. Here, your identity is tied to your bank card. Therefore, you can directly conduct financial transactions across countless star fields to buy what you want …"
"Other than that, you can also engage in various forms of entertainment, such as beautiful women, delicious food, games …"
"Wait, beautiful women are considered entertainment?" Wang Teng asked in surprise.
"Men, you know. There are so many races in the universe, and the beautiful women of each race have their own style. Don't you want to experience it?" Yuan Gungun revealed a wretched look and winked at Wang Teng.
"He ~ tui ~" Wang Teng expressed that he was a gentleman. Women and whatnot were just beautiful skeletons.
"Hehe ~" Yuan Gungun laughed meaningfully, then continued, "In short, there is everything here. Food, drinks, and entertainment. Many people are immersed in it. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, and they treat it as if it were the real world."
"No way, this is a virtual world after all. There are people who are immersed in it for a hundred years?" Wang Teng found it hard to believe.
This was not a few months or a few years, but a hundred years. Would there really be people who would take things so hard?
"You will know when you try." Yuan Gungun laughed. "I said before that the virtual universe is no different from the real world. It is not impossible for people to treat it as if it were the real world."
"It's not necessarily a good thing to be too real!" Wang Teng could not help but sigh.
He could not help but think of some shut-in men and women on Earth Star. They would stay at home for years, and some would even stay there for ten or twenty years, immersed in the game world. Now that he thought about it, it was very similar to the virtual universe.
Moreover, the virtual universe was much more realistic than the games on Earth Star. If he let those shut-in men and women experience it, they would not be willing to come out. They might even stay at home until they die.
To them, this was simply the ultimate shut-in paradise!
Wang Teng had some strange thoughts in his mind.
"However, the truly strong have strong wills. Naturally, they would not be immersed in the virtual universe. They treat it as a platform for communication, providing convenience for themselves. Moreover, if they are too poor, they would not have the opportunity to immerse themselves in it for a hundred years. After all, everything in the virtual world costs money." Yuan Gungun made a gesture of rubbing his fingers.
"This is really … very realistic!" Wang Teng did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Of course. Why else would it be so easy to enter the virtual universe?" Yuan Gungun's tone changed and he said, "Of course, the virtual universe has many benefits. At least it allows people to compete in martial arts, fight with star beasts, and so on. Although it does not increase one's level, it can be used to increase one's combat experience, and you will not die."
Wang Teng nodded and said, "I've tried this before. It is somewhat useful."
Yuan Gungun said disdainfully, "The one you used before was only an incomplete version. It cannot be compared to the one you have now. You will know when you experience it yourself."
"Then let's give it a try." Wang Teng walked out of the square with an excited expression. "Let's go directly out of the city!"
"Wait, I think you should make some money for yourself first." Yuan Gungun quickly stopped him and said, "Look at yourself."
"Uh … this is?" Wang Teng looked down and could not help but be slightly stunned. He asked, "How did my clothes change?"
He realized that he was not wearing the clothes he wore in the real world. Instead, he was wearing a very simple and plain gray training attire. He did not even have a single weapon. He looked very much like a pauper.
"Everyone who enters the virtual universe has this configuration. If you want better clothes, you need to spend money to buy them." Yuan Gungun secretly laughed.
"Damn, what a scam!" Wang Teng could not help but curse. "The virtual universe is a money-grubber. They want to make money from anything. They are as shameless as those unscrupulous game companies."
"How can making money be considered shameless?" Yuan Gungun said.
"…" Wang Teng found himself speechless. He immediately recognized the cruel reality. He took a deep breath and humbly asked for advice. "Where should I go to get money?"
"Do you see the shops on the street? If you want to sell something, you can just go to the shops to make the transaction." Yuan Gungun said.
Wang Teng's eyes swept around. Sure enough, he saw many shops scattered around the square. If he listened carefully, he could even hear faint shouts coming from the crowd.

"Buying Purple Electric Mouse fur. Fair price, honest business …"
"Take a look, take a look. Our shop sells all kinds of Runes and weapons. Don't miss this opportunity!"
"Buying all kinds of ores, star cores, star bones, all kinds of rare treasures … Prices will be negotiated. Interested parties, please come to the Wan Bao Pavilion!"
…
"Why does it feel like a wet market?" Wang Teng muttered with a strange expression as he walked towards the shop.
"Hehe, after all, the competition is fierce." Yuan Gungun laughed.
Wang Teng's target was the Wan Bao Pavilion. He still had many star bones and star cores on him. He should be able to sell them for some money.
Sigh ~
The days of poverty were too hard!
