I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 104 Starting with a Bowl (4000 words)
The game "Shattered Void" is indeed named after the void.

The player's goal, naturally, is to shatter the void.

Break through nothingness, shatter space.

How can a Level 1 planetary life form shatter the void?

Even though the space in this game world is weak, it is still an incredible thing.

If one can truly achieve this, it will temper one's will and enhance one's combat prowess.

You will reap great benefits.

This is also one of the best ways, provided by the gray mirror, to significantly accelerate Su Yuan's comprehension of the power of extreme yang and extreme yin.

In addition, the game's official team has left a surprise: the first ten players to shatter the void will receive exclusive rewards.

Years later, the reason why "Shattered Void" became popular in the thirty-six major universes of human empires was due to this.

It was because the first player to shatter the void was born that the exclusive rewards were announced.

Even in the real world, the exclusive rewards are an astonishing resource, far exceeding the value of a 'wealthy planet' like Earth.

"Top Ten Void Shattering Spots"

Su Yuan collected his thoughts long before the interstellar colony ship arrived.

He devised a method to 'clear' the shattered void world using the gray mirror.

"However, before entering the world of 'Shattered Void,' you need to gather 100,000 Azure Coins."

Su Yuan shook his head slightly.

The virtual world is full of games, some free to enter and some requiring payment.

The game "Shattered Void" requires 100,000 Canglan Coins to play.

If a character created in the game dies, it costs another 100,000 Canglan Coins to re-enter the game.

After all, game development requires costs, especially creating a game world that can drive the evolution of life, which requires even greater costs.

Even if the empire intends to support it, most games still require imperial citizens to pay to access them.

"100,000 Canglan Coins"

Su Yuan pondered. He possessed a great deal of wealth; the Eternal Dark Crystal alone was worth hundreds of millions of Canglan coins.

However, converting the Eternal Dark Crystal into cash is not something that can be done in a short time.

"Let's play 'The Labyrinth of Mysteries' first."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Gray Mirror offers many methods to earn tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Canglan coins in a short period of time, without any hidden dangers.

The "Maze of a Thousand Layers" is the simplest of them all.

"The Labyrinth of Myriad Things" is also a virtual game aimed at advancing the evolution of the wisdom dimension of life.

You will receive a corresponding reward for each maze you successfully navigate.

For example, you can get a reward of one million Canglan Coins by passing the tenth maze.

Countless citizens and factions in the universe know little about "The Labyrinth of Myriad Layers," only that its publisher is extremely mysterious and that rewards for clearing multiple layers are always distributed on time.

However, Su Yuan learned through the gray mirror that the publisher of "The Labyrinth of Myriad Layers" was the official human empire of the Canglan Universe.

The purpose of publishing "The Labyrinth of Myriad Layers" was to cultivate strategists and evolvers among the people of the empire.

The 'strategist' role relies too much on talent, and 'strategist' type cultivators and evolvers are basically useless in the early stages.

That's why the Empire came up with this idea: to support 'strategist' type cultivators and evolvers through the game "Myriad Labyrinths".

The more mazes you conquer, the richer the rewards. As long as you have the talent, it's more than enough to support the early-stage cultivation of 'strategist' type cultivators and evolvers.

"The Labyrinth of a Thousand Layers"

Su Yuan chose to go sightseeing directly.

Since the purpose of this game is to support 'strategist' type cultivators and evolvers, there is no need to pay to enter the game. Anyone with imperial citizenship is eligible to play.

hum~
The scene before Su Yuan's eyes changed, and he found himself in a classroom.

"Hmm?" Su Yuan looked around at everything. At this moment, his physical body was just that of an ordinary person, without any extraordinary power.

At the same time, a piece of information flooded into my mind.

"The First Layer of the Maze—"

"Your name is Qian San, and you are a senior student at the Sixth High School. Today is the day of the joint entrance examination."

"Condition for passing: Help Qian San achieve a good score in the joint entrance examination."

Looking around, Su Yuan immediately realized that the "Myriad Labyrinths" game had begun.

He is currently in a maze.

"As long as you help Qian San get a good score, you'll pass the test?" Su Yuan raised an eyebrow.

That's too easy.

For a Level 6 life form, the so-called high school joint exam questions are no different from 1+1.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan looked down at the exam paper.

"wrong."

Su Yuan immediately noticed something was wrong.

Although he could see every question on the exam paper clearly, he just couldn't put pen to paper.

"Can't we directly help Qian San with his problems?"

Su Yuan understood.

That's normal. If you could just do the questions directly, the test would be too easy. Any level 1 life form could easily pass it.

How can I help?

Su Yuan sat in his chair, looking around the classroom.

Just then, the proctor announced, "There are fifteen minutes left until the end of the exam."

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He glanced at the exam paper.

I didn't do a single question.

"Are you just waiting for me to help you?"

Su Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"never mind."

After thinking for a moment, Su Yuan decided to inquire of the gray mirror from the depths of his consciousness.

Even within the game world, Su Yuan could still clearly sense the presence of the gray mirror.

After completely refining the gray mirror, the connection between the two has risen to the level of consciousness. Even though Su Yuan lost his physical body, he is still bound to the gray mirror.

How do we navigate this maze?

Su Yuan asked the gray mirror.

The gray mirror surface churns and ripples, offering its answer.

[After handing in the paper and leaving the examination room, go up to the sixth floor.]

The gray mirror provides detailed walkthrough steps.

"I see."

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

Do as instructed immediately.

After handing in the exam paper, Su Yuan immediately went to the classroom on the 6th floor.

Su Yuan stopped in a corner room on the sixth floor.

Standing here, you can faintly hear moaning sounds coming from inside the room.

Su Yuan waited a moment, then pushed open the door and saw a man and a woman inside, their faces filled with panic.

The man was fat and had big ears, while the woman had delicate features.

"Huh? Director Hao, what are you doing here? And Teacher Zhang too?" Su Yuan's face showed surprise, and at the same time he took out his phone and started taking pictures of the room.

"you?"

The obese man, who called himself Director Hao, immediately became agitated. "Which class are you in? If you keep taking pictures like this, I'll have the school expel you!"

"Fire me?" Su Yuan looked at the phone in his hand and shook his head. "Then I have no choice but to post these photos online."

"Director Hao, I remember you've been married for a long time, and you even have children. And Teacher Zhang, how could you do this?"

Su Yuan looked heartbroken.

"Old Hao, you handle this." Teacher Zhang quickly covered her face.

After Su Yuan said that, Director Hao calmed down.

He got up, dressed, and looked at Su Yuan, saying, "Classmate, don't be impulsive. You can make any requests, and I'll fulfill them."

"It's simple. I want to get good results in this joint exam. My student ID number is..."

Su Yuan immediately said.

"I can't do anything about the joint exam results," Director Hao said, looking troubled. But seeing Su Yuan open his phone again, he immediately said, "No problem, you can go home and wait."

"Congratulations, you have passed the first level of the maze."

The scene before Su Yuan's eyes kept changing, indicating that he had passed the first level of the maze.

"The challenge of this maze is not about solving problems, but about observing the outside world."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Shortly after entering the first maze, Director Hao walked past the examination hall. If you looked closely, you could see a faint hickey on his neck.

Then, Teacher Zhang followed Director Hao and walked past the examination room.

The two went up to the sixth floor one after the other.

Director Hao and Teacher Zhang are the key to navigating this maze.

If enough information is gathered from the outside world, the abnormal relationship between Director Hao and Teacher Zhang can be discovered, and then they can be threatened to achieve a good result.

"That's really sneaky."

Su Yuan shook his head slightly.

Most players, when faced with this maze, have no idea what to do and foolishly wait until the exam is over before failing to pass.

"A strategist is someone who gathers all the information and then devises plans based on that information. Threatening Director Hao with the adultery of Teacher Zhang is also a kind of tactic."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

"With my intelligence, if I play it a few more times, I should be able to discover that the key to passing the level lies with Director Hao and Teacher Zhang."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Asking about the gray mirror only accelerated this process.

"Begin the second level of the maze!"

The scene before Su Yuan's eyes changed once again.

"My name is Zhao Ming. My parents are old, my wife is shrewish and we're currently going through a divorce, my child is going through a rebellious phase and won't listen to anything I say, and my company is implementing a layoff plan, so I should be the first one laid off."

Su Yuan was speechless; wasn't this just a midlife crisis?

The slightest misstep could lead to the separation of wives and children.

"The conditions for passing the customs clearance helped Zhao Ming smoothly overcome his mid-life crisis."

"Restrictions: No methods beyond this era can be used, nor can any skills that are incompatible with Zhao Ming's."

Su Yuan frowned as he looked at the description of this maze.

Simply put, he cannot use the means that only he possesses to help Zhao Ming gain any benefits.

For example, writing a piece of code that is ahead of its time.

"Honey, I'll be home a little late tonight. I have a company party."

Just then, his wife came out of the room, having carefully applied makeup, and said to Su Yuan.

"understood."

Su Yuan's gaze remained calm.

From the introduction to the maze, Su Yuan learned that Zhao Ming's wife had a close relationship with one of their company's male employees.

If this continues, it will probably lead to divorce.

"The condition for passing the test is to help Zhao Ming overcome his mid-life crisis, which in reality means making money, making a lot of money. His wife will naturally change her mind, and his children will become filial again. Company layoffs? What's there to be afraid of if you have money?"

Su Yuan thought to himself.

But how do we make money?

After half an hour.

Su Yuan arrived at the company.

Amid the layoff crisis, relationships among the company's employees are strained, and they don't even greet each other when they meet.

"Zhao Ming, Manager Han wants you to come to his office."

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"Manager Han?" Upon hearing this, Su Yuan immediately recalled Manager Han's information.

Manager Han is the female leader of this company, and she is more than ten years older than Zhao Ming.

Su Yuan got up and went to Manager Han's office.

"Little Zhao," Manager Han waved to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan leaned closer.

"This PowerPoint presentation should be revised like this."

Although Manager Han was wearing makeup, there were faint wrinkles around her eyebrows, making her look older.

"I'll remember that next time."

After Manager Han finished speaking, he gently patted Su Yuan's buttocks three times.

If it were someone who originally disliked or hated Zhao Ming, then Manager Han would naturally feel extremely disgusted and resentful, especially since he's almost a decade older.

However, Su Yuan keenly obtained a crucial piece of information.

Manager Han must be interested in him.

"Ask."

Su Yuan directly asked the gray mirror.

"really."

Su Yuan looked at the steps to pass the level shown in the gray mirror and suddenly understood.

That night.

Su Yuan walked out of the room that Manager Han had booked.

With his close relationship with Manager Han, Zhao Ming not only avoided being laid off, but also received a promotion, a raise, career stability, and a harmonious family life.

"Congratulations, you have passed the second maze."

Su Yuan looked at the level completion prompt.

The key to this labyrinth lies in whether or not one can take that step and use their own body to gain Manager Han's support.

A qualified strategist must not only be good at collecting all information, but also be able to make use of everything that can be used.

One's own body? Naturally, that's also within the scope of utilization.

Anything can be discarded and used as long as it can achieve the desired goal.

Next.

time flies.

With the help of the gray mirror, Su Yuan quickly passed through the ten-layered maze.

"Congratulations on clearing the tenth level of the maze. The reward of one million Canglan Coins has been credited to your account."

Su Yuan looked at the extra million Canglan coins in his account.

"Unfortunately, to prevent players from excessively depleting their intelligence, 'The Labyrinth of Myriad Layers' only allows a maximum of ten layers to be completed per day."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Each day here is calculated according to the human empire of the Canglan Universe, equivalent to two months on Earth.

For most players, each time they overcome a maze level, it consumes their intelligence, and excessive intelligence consumption will affect their wisdom dimension.

That's why there's a daily limit of ten layers.

In any case, a day is nothing to planetary life or life in outer space.

With one million Canglan coins, Su Yuan would naturally be able to directly enter the world of "Shattered Void".

"Wait two minutes and thirty-two seconds."

Su Yuan glanced at the time, thinking to himself.

Every player who enters the world of "Shattered Void" will be given a random low-level identity and will be randomly assigned to a location within the world.

The randomness here is essentially calculated based on when you enter the game.

With the help of the gray mirror, Su Yuan knew that he would enter the world of "Shattered Void" in two minutes and thirty-two seconds, and the random landing location would be most advantageous to him.

time flies.

Two minutes and thirty-two seconds later.

"Enter the game."

Su Yuan chose to enter the world of "Shattered Void," after deducting 100,000 Canglan Coins.

Su Yuan then sensed the scene before him changing.

When I saw everything around me again, I heard a lot of shouts.

And Su Yuan.
Looking down at himself, he saw that he was a beggar kneeling on the ground, with a bowl in front of him.
