Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 185 Admonition and Celebration

On the other side, Yang Wu quickly reconnected to the virtual universe after his consciousness left it.

Subsequently, Yang Wu appeared directly at his home in the Jiuxingwan residential area on Heilongshan Island.

Yang Wu was with his family in the real world, so there was no need for them to meet in the virtual universe. Therefore, Yang Wu directly opened the email.

"Beep!" "Beep!" "Beep!"...

A series of notification sounds rang out.

"Master! You have now received 1769 emails and 543 call requests. Moreover, the number of emails and call requests is still rising!" Chi Yan's familiar voice rang in Yang Wu's mind.

"So many emails?"

Yang Wu was slightly taken aback, then gently tapped the screen in mid-air and browsed through it briefly.

"Three emails from Latte Senior, two emails from Teacher Jin Guanghou, and one email from Hei Yanhou..."

The dense array of emails and call request forms left Yang Wu slightly bewildered.

Besides teachers and friends, there were also emails from people who had learned Yang Wu's contact number through other channels.

Some wanted to invite Yang Wu to join their forces as a nominal member; some wanted to take Yang Wu as their disciple; and there were even powerful realm lords who wanted to follow Yang Wu...

"Looks like this is the trouble of fame!"

Yang Wu shook his head and smiled wryly, "However, this Black Annihilation Marquis? If I remember correctly, she should be one of the three giants of the Virtual Universe Company's Qianwu branch, right? I wonder what she wants to see me about?"

Yang Wu casually opened the email sent by Hei Yanhou. It contained only polite words of congratulations and did not mention anything else.

"Forget it! I'm not going to think about this anymore. I'm going to see my teacher first!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Although Yang Wu had been working on the Trial Tower for some time, he would occasionally have a sliver of consciousness return to reality and reunite with his family.

Therefore, the person Yang Wu most wanted to see at this moment was his teacher, Jin Guanghou, whom he had not contacted for a long time.

Whoosh!

Yang Wu immediately went to the teleportation point and was directly teleported to Golden Light Island, which was under the jurisdiction of Qianwu Continent.

……

Virtual universe, Golden Island.

brush!

A figure suddenly appeared at the main entrance of the golden palace in the very center of Golden Light Island.

At this moment, two Realm Lords were guarding the entrance to the main hall. One of them was Grayflame, a peak Realm Lord who had always been by Latte's side.

Upon seeing the figure arrive, Gray Flame quickly bowed and greeted, "Your Highness Yang Wu!"

As his identity changed, Yang Wu simply nodded slightly to Gray Flame before walking straight into the main hall.

"Gray Flame!" another realm lord exclaimed in surprise, "That prince just now, is he Yang Wu, the peerless genius ranked first in this year's Genius Battle, Lord Golden Light Marquis's newly accepted disciple!"

"It is indeed His Highness Yang Wu!" Gray Flame said with absolute certainty.

In fact, generally speaking, even the personal disciples of Jin Guanghou are only of similar status to peak Realm Lords like themselves, so there is no need for them to be so respectful.

But Yang Wu is different!

Especially Gray Flame, who personally witnessed Yang Wu's continuous growth after becoming his apprentice.

The more he learned, the more alarmed he became!

Is this even human?

He, Gray Flame, a powerful realm master with the power of a world, cannot even match the cultivation speed of a mere Hengxing-level being. Where can you find any reason to argue with that?

It was precisely because of this that Gray Flame's attitude towards Yang Wu became increasingly respectful.

From initially being completely indifferent, to later taking it seriously, and now to being respectful, Gray Flame's attitude towards Yang Wu has been constantly changing.

On the other side, Jin Guanghou and Latte, who were chatting inside the hall, also got up because of Yang Wu's appearance.

"Haha!" Latte quickly walked over and put his arm around Yang Wu's shoulder, laughing as he said, "Father, I told you that Junior Brother Yang Wu would definitely come over immediately after his competition, but you didn't believe me. Now you believe me, right?"

Yang Wu gently pushed away his senior brother, Latte, and then respectfully knelt down, saying, "Disciple greets Master!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Marquis Jin Guang laughed happily, "Get up quickly!"

Marquis Jin Guang was already happy that Yang Wu had broken into the Primal Secret Realm, and now his smile was even brighter.

Even after Yang Wu became a member of the Primal Secret Realm, he still respected him so much. How could it be that he didn't truly respect him from the bottom of his heart?

After all, given Yang Wu's current status, he is already comparable to a Marquis-level Immortal, and he is a Marquis-level Immortal from the Virtual Universe Company. There is no need for him to curry favor with Marquis Jin Guang. It can only be said that Yang Wu is sincere.

Yang Wu stood up and stood respectfully to the side.

"Have you met your family and friends yet?" Marquis Jin Guang asked with a smile.

Yang Wu nodded and said, "This disciple has already informed them!"

"Yang Wu!" Marquis Jin Guang said with great satisfaction, "You did an excellent job this time! To be honest, even I, your teacher, couldn't believe you could achieve this!"

"After all, you haven't been training for very long! But you actually did it! Your teacher is so proud of you!"

"I was just lucky!" Yang Wu sighed.

The recent simulations have all been quite good.

Especially the last time, he actually lived for three hundred years.

"However!" Jin Guanghou suddenly said solemnly, "Yang Wu, you must understand that even among the core members of the Virtual Universe Company, those who ultimately succeed in becoming immortals are extremely rare!"

"One after another, geniuses and powerful figures fall, and those who ultimately overcome all obstacles to become super beings in the universe are one in ten thousand!"

"As you continue your path to becoming a powerful figure, there will be less and less help I can offer! I only hope that you can keep going and never become one of those fallen geniuses!"

"This disciple understands!" Yang Wu replied with unwavering conviction.

"Father! Junior Brother!" Latte suddenly said from the side, "Why are you saying these things on such a joyous day?"

"Junior Brother Yang Wu won first place in the Genius Battle! We should be happy for him! I bought a bottle of 'Divine Intoxication' today, so let's drink until we drop!"

"Yes!" Jin Guanghou said with a smile, "Let's celebrate together today, to celebrate Yang Wu winning first place in the Genius Battle!"

As soon as Jin Guanghou finished speaking, Latte took out a colorful jade bottle from an exquisite wine cabinet next to him. The transparent liquid inside the jade bottle faintly emitted a scent that made people tremble all over.

"Junior brother!" Latte said to Yang Wu with a smile, "I really went all out to celebrate your first place in the Genius Battle! This 'Divine Intoxication' cost me 8 Hunyuan units even in the virtual universe. In reality, even my father might not be able to afford it. This is only the second time I've drunk this kind of wine in my life, and I've never drunk it in real life!"

The Divine Intoxication wine would cost around 8000 Chaos Units in reality, which Jin Guanghou could afford. However, he would never spend so much wealth on a bottle of wine for himself!

"Senior brother, you'd better open it quickly!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "My mouth is practically watering!"

Although Yang Wu now possessed some wealth, he had never been so extravagant before. After all, just a few years ago, all of Yang Wu's assets combined amounted to only one hundred Hunyuan units.

Spending the entire fortune of a Realm Lord to buy a bottle of wine in a virtual universe? Only a madman would do that!

"Haha! Yang Wu, you've won the reward for the Genius Battle! First place gets you 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units—enough to buy a bottle in real life!"

As he spoke, Latte poured drinks for the three of them.

Although he said that, he was just joking.

Now that Yang Wu has just embarked on the path of the strong, these 10,000 Hunyuan units are of immense value, so how could he possibly go and buy a bottle of fine wine?

"Good wine!" Yang Wu closed his eyes and slowly savored it.

The sensation of this "divine intoxication" is virtually indistinguishable between the virtual universe and reality. While it's called divine intoxication, it doesn't actually cause you to pass out; rather, it creates an incredibly wonderful feeling that operates entirely on the mind.

And so, Yang Wu celebrated with Jin Guanghou and Latte.

Thank you to reader Yan Nian Gongzi o for the 500 points reward.
