Multiverse Skill System

While speaking, Yi Shuihan kept an eye on his intimacy level with the Omni-King. Whenever he noticed the intimacy level was decreasing, he would slightly change his words. However, the intimacy level never decreased.

"Can we have more fun if we become friends?"

As he muttered the words, the King's eyes lit up slightly, and then he said what Yi Shuihan wanted to hear.

"I'll be your friend."

Phew, looks like the first step is done.

The High Priest was somewhat surprised by this, because he knew that the Omni-King had the ability to see through people's hearts and could completely sense whether a person was kind or malicious towards him. Yi Shuihan's deception should not have worked.

So either Yi Shuihan deceived the Omni-King in some way, or Yi Shuihan came with good intentions and had no ulterior motives towards the Omni-King. The High Priest leans towards the latter.

……

After becoming a friend of the Omni-King, Yi Shuihan settled down in the Omni-King's palace and began his journey of coaxing children.

First, he pulled out his first weapon: food.

As a food connoisseur, Yi Shuihan has tasted countless delicacies, including some that even the King of All Kingdom would enjoy.

However, considering that if he brings out something that the Omni-King doesn't like, it might not be a big deal once or twice, but if it happens too often, the Omni-King might turn on him. Therefore, Yi Shuihan decided to take the path of the High Priest first.

As the High Priest who has served the Omni-King for so long, he must have a certain understanding of the Omni-King's preferences.

"High Priest, I have some delicacies I wish to offer to the Omni-King. I wonder if you have the time to help me select them?"

"Delicious food? I'll help you with that."

The High Priest's expression shifted slightly, and he agreed to Yi Shuihan's request, whether it was for the sake of the delicious food or for Weiss's sake, it was unclear.

Yi Shuihan's intentions were quite clear. He mainly believed that beating around the bush might backfire. This wasn't a palace intrigue or a power struggle, so why make it so complicated?

The High Priest was also a glutton. Yi Shuihan realized this after witnessing the High Priest devour thousands of different delicacies without batting an eye. His appetite was far greater than that of a Saiyan.

Perhaps the High Priest's love of food is what makes him so special.

For a whole day, the High Priest savored the delicacies provided by Yi Shuihan. He ate quickly, but his manner of eating was very elegant, just like a nobleman.

"Is he just planning to eat without doing anything?"

Just as Yi Shuihan had this thought, the High Priest suddenly paused, startling Yi Shuihan, who thought that his thoughts had been read.

"what happened?"

"Lord Omni-King might like this."

The high priest pointed to a plate of food in front of him, and Yi Shuihan was stunned when he looked in that direction.

"No way! Does he have such unusual tastes?"

The "high priest" refers to a very famous snack called stinky tofu, whose pungent smell can be detected from a great distance.

"Shouldn't someone like him prefer things like lollipops, ice cream, and milkshakes?"

Yi Shuihan looked at the High Priest with some hesitation, trying to figure out if the other party was trying to trick him on purpose. However, the High Priest was too good at hiding his intentions, and Yi Shuihan could not see through his thoughts at all.

Fine, I'll trust you this once.

In the end, Yi Shuihan chose to trust the High Priest this once.

"What is this? It's so ugly."

When Yi Shuihan served the stinky tofu to Quan Wang, Quan Wang showed some disgust, causing his intimacy level to drop by 5 points, down to 5 points.

"This food is absolutely delicious, you should try it!"

As he spoke, Yi Shuihan even ate a piece on the spot, with a very comfortable expression on his face.

In the end, the King still tried taking a piece and putting it in his mouth.

a long time,

"It's so delicious, I want more."

Chapter 941, Building a Virtual Reality Game

Looking at the King of All Things who was happily eating stinky tofu, Yi Shuihan felt a bit bewildered; the scene was slightly off.

"It seems the High Priest wasn't lying to me after all."

The intimacy level has increased from 5 points to over 10 points, and it is still increasing little by little.

By the time Zeno finished eating the stinky tofu, their intimacy level had already risen to 20 points.

"If we play eight more rounds, our intimacy level will be maxed out."

With such expectations, Yi Shuihan took out another plate of stinky tofu, but was naturally disappointed. Quan Wang still ate it happily, but the intimacy level did not continue to increase and remained at 20 points.

Therefore, this is not a pet raising game, and the intimacy level is not easy to increase.

Since he could no longer use stinky tofu to increase intimacy, Yi Shuihan naturally had to try something different.

The High Priest didn't just choose one kind of food that the Omni-King likes.

Over the course of a few days, Yi Shuihan fed Quan Wang in various ways, eventually raising the intimacy level to 35 through the food, but then it wouldn't go any higher no matter what he did.

Stinky tofu rose by 10 points, while nearly a hundred other delicacies only increased by 15 points. This can only be attributed to Yi Shuihan spoiling the King's palate.

A closeness level of 35 is equivalent to the level of a regular classmate at school, not quite a regular friend.

Although somewhat disappointed, Yi Shuihan was also satisfied. After all, it had only taken a few days. If the growth rate continued at this pace, the mission might be completed in just a month or two.

"Next is the story walkthrough."

Besides food and toys, storytelling is also a very effective way to deal with children.

"Xiao Quan, would you like to hear me tell you a story? It's very interesting."

With the intimacy level reaching 35, the apparent benefit for Yi Shuihan is that he can trick Quan Wang into calling him Brother Yi, while he can call Quan Wang Little Quan.

"That's interesting! Okay, okay, tell me a story."

The King said with great anticipation, sitting down on his throne with an obedient look that made everyone smile.

Putting aside his identity as the Omni-King, he's just an adorable little kid right now.

"In the chaos before heaven and earth were separated, all was in disarray, a vast and boundless expanse unseen by anyone. Since Pangu shattered the primordial chaos, the distinction between pure and impure has been established. All living beings rely on his supreme benevolence for protection, and all things are created for good. To know the workings of creation, one must understand the primordial power..."

Yi Shuihan slowly recited Journey to the West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels. He was worried that Quan Wang would not understand the classical Chinese version and planned to convert it into vernacular Chinese according to his own ideas. However, he found that Quan Wang listened with great interest and seemed to understand it completely. So he simply recited the original version.

As the intimacy level slowly increased, Yi Shuihan became quite engrossed in his conversation, completely unaware of the strange look the High Priest was giving him.

As Yi Shuihan began to fully recount the Journey to the West, the High Priest's expression changed more and more rapidly, as if he had gained some understanding.

"Brother Yi, this Sun Wukong is so interesting, I want to play with him."

The Omni-King suddenly spoke up.

"Um, I can't do that for now. He exists in another world, so you can't go there. You have to leave this world to see him."

Although it's just a story, Yi Shuihan, having experienced so much, naturally believed in the existence of the Great Sage.

"I cannot leave this world."

Quan Wang seemed a bit dejected and unhappy, but fortunately, as Yi Shuihan continued to speak, their intimacy level did not decrease.

"There's a lot of information here. It seems that the Omni-King is aware of the concept of the world and doesn't believe that this is the only world. What does he mean by saying that one cannot leave the world? Is he bound by this world?"

Yi Shuihan has a lot of stories in reserve; he could tell them for decades without any problem. As long as the intimacy between the characters can continue to increase, Yi Shuihan persists in his work, and the stories keep coming.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed. Thanks to various stories, the relationship between Quan Wang and Yi Shui Han has progressed to 50 points of intimacy.

With only 40 points left to complete the task, it seems like the task is already halfway done, but in reality, it's just the beginning.

Yi Shuihan has also figured out some tricks for the intimacy level. Not only is it harder to increase as you go on, but it's also easy to drop. Even Yi Shuihan probably wouldn't treat the King as well as his own son. He pays attention to the King's mood and state of mind at all times and thinks of all sorts of ways to make the King happy.

After the storytelling came movies, animations, and games. These were all created by Yi Shuihan based on his own memories, and they were even more exciting than the real version.

Unfortunately, it seems that the intimacy level has reached a bottleneck, stuck at 70 points, and no matter what Yi Shuihan does, there is no way to make any further progress.

A relationship with 70 points of intimacy is already very good, because 80 points is equivalent to a romantic relationship, and 90 points is at the level of a father-son relationship, where both are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other.

The intimacy level between Yi Shuihan and Quan Wang does not represent the intimacy level between the two parties, but rather is only between Quan Wang and Yi Shuihan. According to Yi Shuihan's own estimation, his intimacy level with Quan Wang is only around 50 points, just ordinary friends.

The Grand Priest's intimacy level with the Omni-King is higher than that of Yi Shuihan. Yi Shuihan can vaguely sense this from the Omni-King's daily attitude towards him and the Grand Priest. It's just unknown whether the Omni-King and the Grand Priest have an intimacy level of over 80 or over 90.

"It seems that without some drastic measures, the intimacy level really won't increase."

On this day, Yi Shuihan took out the plan he had spent a month working on.

"The Universe-wide Virtual Reality Game Project: Within the Seventh Universe, a virtual spiritual world will be constructed, allowing people to play games within it. Leveling up in the game will provide real-world feedback. The game is called the Ancient Wasteland. In the game, people can..."

"Will this be fun?"

"of course."

"Then hurry up and make it, I want to play with it too."

Having gained the approval of the Omni-King, Yi Shuihan began setting up a server in Universe 7.

"I never imagined that the first virtual reality game I would play would be one I made myself, not one made by someone else, and under such circumstances."

Chapter 942, Open Closed Beta

Creating a virtual game was a first for Yi Shuihan, and he had no experience, but that didn't matter. He only needed to know the general idea.

Dragon Ball will help Yi Shuihan handle all of this. All Yi Shuihan needs to do is to enrich the game content and make it interesting before making a wish.

Another key point is that becoming stronger in the game can also bring benefits in real life. Without this, no matter how well the game is made, it won't be very attractive to truly strong players.

After all, they live a more carefree life in reality than in the game, so why would they need to enter the game to find confidence?

"If we're going to do it, we should do it well. At the very least, we need to attract all those with combat power over 100 million to the game. So, the minimum standard is to raise a person's combat power to 100 million."

"Perhaps we can do it this way: instead of directly increasing a person's power, we can summon the power of a character from the game to possess them, which is equivalent to a buff. Moreover, it is subject to a time limit according to certain rules. This way, it will be easier, as we don't need to constantly supply power to the person. We just need to ensure that the energy provided by the game is within a tolerable range."

If you directly grant someone power, and they stop playing the game after receiving it, then it's a waste. You might as well lend it to them. In this way, if they don't play the game, then you don't need to give them the power.

"Set up an online mechanism; if an account is not logged in for more than a month, it will be banned."

"Characters will lose a level upon death, and the amount of power they can borrow will also be reduced. This will make everyone take the game more seriously and not act recklessly."

"It is divided into Lord Mode and Personal Mode. Anyone can use Personal Mode, but Lord Mode requires a Lord Token."

"The professions are martial artist, mage, summoner, healer..."

"The races are humans, beastmen, gods, and demons..."

"Arena, Auction House, various dungeons..."

The virtual world was constantly being improved under Yi Shuihan's thinking. He borrowed some content from the game and created a game world based on his own observations. The content was very rich, and even Yi Shuihan himself had an urge to play it immediately.

On this day, Yi Shuihan gathered his Dragon Balls and appeared at the center of the seventh universe, beginning to summon Shenron.

As the world changed color, the Black Divine Dragon appeared before Yi Shuihan.

"Respected Creator, what are your orders?"

"It's like this, I want to create a virtual reality game world, in which..."

Yi Shuihan slowly told the Black Dragon about his request. He was a little worried about whether the Black Dragon really had the ability to fulfill his wish, since his request was too many.

It could be said that creating a virtual reality game world is actually a wish. Yi Shuihan also demanded various details from the virtual reality game world. Ordinary dragons wouldn't grant such complicated wishes. It's fortunate that this black dragon was created by Yi Shuihan, otherwise it would have been agreed long ago.

After listening quietly to Yi Shuihan's request, the Black Dragon said...

"Your wish can be granted, but it will take me 10 years to recover my strength. In other words, even you will not be able to make me reappear in 10 years."

"10 years?"

Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. If he were to do such a large project himself, it would probably take him more than 10 years.

"Then I will grant your wish."

An invisible wave instantly spread from the Black Dragon's body, enveloping the entire Seventh Universe in the blink of an eye.

Silently, a virtual world full of order was born, and everything was exactly as Yi Shuihan had requested. If this world were not merely an illusion that could only be entered by the mind, it would be comparable to a golden world.

"One day, the Black Dragon will be able to create a real world."

Looking at the Dragon Ball, which had turned to stone, Yi Shuihan murmured to himself.

The game is ready; now it's running.

"Let's start with a closed beta test. We'll choose people from Earth to conduct the test, and we'll set the timeframe at one month."

This decision was naturally made to benefit Earthlings. One should always take care of one's own people. He didn't expect Earthlings to dominate the game in the future, but at least they wouldn't do too badly.
