Chapter 5: The Mysterious Yellow Paper Filled with Characters
The astonishment gradually transformed into joy and relief. Lu Dada hesitated for a long time, his expression shifting between various emotions. In the end, he silently walked to the door of the game room, gently closed the door, locked it carefully, and then turned to enter his bedroom
As Gong Yaming fought fiercely, he said, "Of course, Uncle Dada, I do have self-awareness. At 22 years old, having never undergone a single instance of 'Elemental Sensation,' it must be extremely difficult for someone like me to become an 'Elementalist.' The brutal training of a 'Force Master' is something I cannot endure; I fear that before I even unlock my powers, I would mentally collapse, turning comedy into tragedy. As for 'Mutants,' I am not the kind of fanatic who would alter my body into a non-human monster just to gain power, so being a 'Substitute User' is my only option."
Ignoring Gong Yaming's complaints, Luda asked, "Kid, from what you just said, are you planning to use the opportunity your uncle left you to unlock the 'Stand Ability' and become a 'Stand User'?
No longer able to care about the life or death of characters in the 'virtual game', Gong Yaming rushed to Lu Dada's side in a panic and crouched down.
With an uncomfortable shrug, as his hands were busy operating the "virtual game," Gong Yaming said, "Uncle Dada, why are you scratching my back? Don't mess around; I'm about to defeat the boss of level 4."
In just a few seconds, the yellow paper was soaked with the sweat of Gong Yaming, firmly sticking to his plump back
Upon hearing Gong Yaming's simple and naive expression of his feelings for his family, Lu Dada's previously struggling and hesitant expression gradually transformed into one of determination
Hearing a strange noise beside him, Gong Yaming glanced out of the corner of his eye and discovered Lu Dada lying on the ground
I inform you that even a professor of 'Stand Abilities' like G requires at least 25,000 yuan per month. It is important to note that among the four classifications of 'Transcenders', 'Stand Users' are the most financially demanding.
At this point, Gong Yaming gazed deeply at the "Virtual Game Device," watching the wild actions of his controlled character, the "Soul Reaper" Luffy, with a sparkle of excitement in his eyes
The implications of Lu Dada's words are self-evident; 500,000 yuan represents the total salary of an ordinary low-tier 'Transcender' over a decade. Consequently, upon hearing this analysis, Gong Yaming's expression completely fell.
Ignoring Gong Yaming's complaints, Lu Dada looked at the characters written on the yellow paper on Gong Yaming's back, slowly imprinting them onto his spine, which then melted away and disappeared, while an uncontrollable ecstatic smile appeared on his gaunt face
He turned around to glance at the already deceased game character and said with dissatisfaction: "Uncle Dada, you shouldn't suddenly fall down and scare people when you're fine. Is it really that surprising that I've become a 'Transcender', to the point that it could cause you to faint from lack of oxygen? Moreover, without needing to discuss it with you, I've already thought it through. Once I unlock my powers and become a 'Stand User', I will spend money on some formal training programs at reputable 'institutions' for a few months. My parents, knowing that I have the opportunity to participate in the 'Explorer' practical assessment, will surely be willing to pay for my classes. Furthermore, without needing to discuss it with you, I've already thought it through.

My parents, knowing that I have the opportunity to participate in the 'Explorer' practical assessment, will surely be willing to pay for my classes. Once I can skillfully master the 'Stand' ability, I will then participate in some 'Survival Journeys' to the 'Wilderness Planet' to hone my will. After I have developed certain abilities, I will then take part in the 'Explorer' practical assessment.
Lu Dada's incessant harassment finally affected Gong Yaming's performance in the game. In a moment of carelessness, he was struck by the 'Divine Judgment' of the final boss, the 'Torinese Monster,' and the character controlled by Gong Yaming was unjustly killed.
In an instant, even though the man's emaciated body concealed an incredibly resilient soul, he was unable to withstand such immense emotional turmoil and collapsed helplessly to the ground
Irritated, he scratched his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead and face, and rudely took off his short shirt. While choosing to restart the game from the beginning, he said discontentedly: "Uncle Dada, could you please stop mumbling incomprehensible words so quietly next to me? Also, even if business is slow, you should still keep the air conditioning on in this hot weather. If you keep trying to cut costs whenever business is bad, you will only end up with even less business."
Only after he had finally managed to clear away the small monsters and the clutter near the final level did he come to his senses and say, "Uncle Dada, I will definitely succeed. When the time comes, I will open the best 'Virtual Game Room' in Shanteng City, capable of accommodating over 100 'Virtual Game Consoles' without feeling crowded, and it will also have comfortable booths and a counter for selling drinks and snacks..." When the time comes, I will open the best 'Virtual Game Room' in Shanteng City, capable of accommodating over 100 'Virtual Game Consoles' without feeling crowded, and it will also have comfortable booths and a counter for selling drinks and snacks...
Seeing the expression of satisfaction and ambition on Gong Yaming's face, Lu Dada suddenly changed his attitude and mockingly said: "Kid, what I mean by 'rare and valuable' refers to someone like you, a little brat.
He held Dada's head, shaking it gently, and stammered urgently, "Uncle Dada, what happened to you? Why is your face so pale? You fainted on the ground. Hold on, I will call the hospital right away. You must hang in there..."
He spoke in a serious and solemn tone: "Moreover, my heartfelt dream since childhood has been to become a great ability user like 'Soul Cutter' Luffy, fighting against 'Turinians' and 'Savage Beings' on the desolate 'Primitive Planet'. Now that I have the opportunity to make my dream come true, I certainly will not let it slip away."
Yumi, who is completely immersed in her own fantasies and feels as if she has become one with the character in the 'virtual game', is entirely unaware of Luda's comings and goings.
Before long, he emerged from the bedroom, carefully cradling a sheet of thin, pale yellow paper, resembling a child's doodle, filled with over a hundred incomprehensible characters, as if it were the most precious treasure in the sea of stars. He walked solemnly to the side of Gong Yaming.
Moreover, the profound sense of relief that comes from completely letting go of burdens, the bewilderment of losing one's life goals, and the desolation of losing the most cherished treasure... These extreme emotions surged alternately from the heart of Lu Da Da.
Seeing the glimmer in Gong Yaming's eyes, a brilliance that had never appeared before, and hearing the profound sincerity in his tone, Lu Dada seemed to look at the young man before him for the first time, his expression turning somewhat astonished
Do you know how much it costs to participate in a formal course on "substitute abilities" hosted by a reputable C-level institution each month
He carefully examined the thin yellow paper in his hand for a few moments before meticulously applying it to the sweat-stained back of Gong Yaming
You must have only heard about the "Transcender" training program or the "Wilderness Planet" survival exercises through news or word of mouth
With a swift leap from Gong Yaming's arm, Lu Da exclaimed loudly, "Kid, since you have such a rare opportunity, the most important thing now is not to relax and indulge in 'virtual games.' Instead, you need to carefully plan your future life; otherwise, when the comedy turns into a tragedy, it will be too late for you to regret it"
Participating in the 'Wilderness Planet' survival journey requires an expenditure of over 100,000 yuan each time
If you can pass the practical assessment of the 'Explorer', this expense is certainly worthwhile, but if you unfortunately fail www.hetushu.com...
After the tremendous shock, Lu Dada felt an unprecedented sense of ease in his heart. Calmly, he replied, "Kid, I just stood for too long and my feet went numb. Hearing that you actually want to become a 'substitute' surprised me so much that I accidentally fell down. There was nothing else going on."
If I, as an adult, were to evaluate it, your life plan is almost entirely worthless
Hearing that Gong Yaming was not as blindly optimistic as he appeared, but rather faced this turning point in his life with caution, Luda deliberately feigned surprise and said: "Kid, I didn't expect you to be able to arrange your future life so cautiously. To be honest, such meticulous planning is indeed rare for someone your age. It seems that luck does not favor just anyone casually; some people may seem ordinary, but deep within, they possess certain outstanding qualities. When the opportunity arises, they will reveal their extraordinary side." To be honest, such meticulous planning is indeed rare for someone your age. It seems that luck does not favor just anyone casually; some people may seem ordinary, but deep within, they possess certain outstanding qualities. When the opportunity arises, they will reveal their extraordinary side.
Seeing Lu Dada's spirit suddenly become more agitated than usual, Gong Yaming, who had originally felt a lump in his throat, also swallowed his words back down.
In other words, if you follow your plan, in order to achieve the expected capabilities, you need to prepare 500,000 yuan in cash
Upon hearing Uncle Dada's praise, Gong Yaming replied with great pride: "Uncle Dada, I am not as outstanding as you say. However, to be honest, it is just that I have not had the opportunity before. This time, I have finally waited for such a rare opportunity, and of course, I will seize it well"
