Chapter 9: Societies
Although I am unsure if there are any objections, for the sake of caution, it is better to refrain from discussing other matters and to get straight to the point
In this space, he also possesses an industrial mech. It is said that he is seeking channels through his father to acquire a combat mech in the virtual space. One should not underestimate an industrial mech. The X-01 model industrial mech is the closest to a combat mech and is highly favored by enthusiasts. The value of that single mech is equivalent to the price of the entire club, making it unattainable for ordinary individuals
After expressing gratitude, as Feng Yiyou walked towards a wall, Hamate mentioned to Feng Yiyou along the way: "Owen is the president of the Mecha Research and Discussion Club. Our club was established through a partnership of five societies, with the other four societies each contributing fifty thousand Shiyuan, while Owen alone contributed a full three hundred thousand. Moreover, he was the one who secured the purchasing channels through his connections. He is generally quite generous, considering that we are all students now. Even the children of wealthy families have limited funds at their disposal. However, sometimes he can be a bit domineering in his personality."
Until this was said, Feng Yiyou was momentarily taken aback, and then gently nodded his head
The silver-white wall ahead began to deform and spread like water, revealing a passage behind it
Oh dear, Hamate, you rascal, you just went ahead without saying a word, and you didn't reply when I asked you, what are you up to? Who is this? ... ... And it was just shortly after they both came in.
Due to the complete simulation of THEWORLD, the channels for obtaining mechas here are not simple in order to avoid some troubles. Owen's father is a genuine licensed pilot, a prominent figure in New Alice, and his brother has already met the standards of a trainee pilot. With such excellent genes, it can be said that he is inherently destined to pursue a path in mechas.
The few classmates who are relatively close to Hamate also know that the guy who is even more beautiful than a girl is a once-in-a-century rarity, and to this day has not entered this second world that is almost universally accessible.
Due to his appearance, even though Feng Yiyou is quite out of place, he is nonetheless quite well-known among the students. Everyone knows this 'handsome' boy, who even makes the school beauty feel somewhat challenged, is a rather reclusive individual who does not fit in. Only Hamate is able to get somewhat close to him.
However, not to mention that the appearance of www.hetushu.com has already changed, even in its original form, Feng Yiyou would not recognize many people at school; at most, he would only feel a sense of familiarity. At this moment, he naturally stood by in a daze, with no intention of greeting anyone
"Owen? That arrogant guy from the Machine Research Society? Why bother with him, is it because you're bored to death?" After rolling his eyes and muttering a few words, the fat man seemed rather indifferent to the person Hamart was looking for.
At this moment, seeing the somewhat ordinary-looking virtual character, there is also a sense of spectatorship, accompanied by expressions of amazement.
Dozens of men and women, each adorned in various colorful outfits that exude a youthful aura, appear together in a vast and splendid room, yet they still seem somewhat scattered.
The speaker is the one among the four virtual appearances who looks the most overweight.
Well, because he has been too close to this guy on a regular basis, he occasionally gets to see another side of him. Even though he doesn't understand martial arts and swordsmanship very well, he knows that even if he were to face ten of himself together, he would definitely be knocked out by the other party
However, the concept of currency appears somewhat powerless in the face of a self-sufficient lifestyle where almost everything is produced independently. Daily consumption is largely covered by vouchers issued by the relief agency, while other subsidies are mostly obtained through the exchange of resources gathered by Feng Yiyou, such as herbs and game.
Yet it was this kind of gaze that made Hamart feel a bit uneasy, causing him to chuckle awkwardly
There are even many people who doubt someone's orientation issues
Tuition fees can also be waived based on outstanding performance in regular subjects, and there is very little cash available at hand.
THEWORLD represents infinite possibilities and endless opportunities
Since the emergence of that transformation thirty years ago, and until fifteen years ago, the world currency finally reached its established form. The World Yuan has become an international currency applicable to the vast majority of countries. Nowadays, one thousand units per month is sufficient to live comfortably in cities of ordinary developed countries, with purchasing power slightly higher than that of the US dollar before the currency unification.
In THEWORLD, if one possesses the ability, it is entirely possible to exchange for all resources in reality, and there are even opportunities to exchange for real-world mechas! Many individuals spend their days in THEWORLD, living their lives as a profession and even becoming wealthy through it!
It is indeed difficult to directly understand the significance represented by the fact that this virtual product can be sold for such a high amount of real currency
Just as Hamate was about to say a few more words, he suddenly felt a bit uneasy all over. Turning his head, he discovered that Feng Yiyou was staring at him with a calm gaze, remaining silent.
As he kept a close watch on Feng Yiyou's expression, noticing the almost imperceptible change, Hamate began to introduce with a somewhat fervent demeanor.
While speaking, Hamate also brought Feng Yiyou to a wall in the club space, and then he casually drew a floating frame, entering something into it.
Alright, I won't say anything else. Is President Owen here? I promised this kid I would help him
Upon seeing a few acquaintances approaching, Hamate displayed a hint of satisfaction on his face. He then patted Feng Yiyou on the shoulder, as if Feng Yiyou's entry into THE WORLD was entirely his achievement
The value of 500,000 in real currency is sufficient to illustrate how hard-won this club space is. This is merely a club; if one can attain a more valuable existence, becoming someone of significance is not a mere wish.
Haha, you might not believe it, but this is Yiyou. After my continuous efforts to persuade him, along with his own sudden realization, he has finally agreed to engage with this beautiful world
How is it? Not bad, right? If this small club space were to be sold as a library, it would be worth at least 500,000 yuan, enough to build a villa in reality.
However, after speaking, when he glanced at Feng Yiyou's completely unperturbed expression, Hamate understood that all his words had been in vain. He had to be very direct and said: "In the virtual space, the management of mechas is not too lenient; they cannot just run around freely. The quickest shortcut is to seek help from Owen. Therefore, if you want to satisfy your curiosity, you must not offend him later. Well, actually, you can just act as you usually do; if he occasionally says something strange, just ignore it."
Alright, at least we have such a club space. He has contributed the most, so we shouldn't always speak well of him behind his back. President Irving should be at the training ground tinkering with his little treasure now. If you have something to discuss with him, you can go over and give it a try. The only girl among the group then began to mediate and subsequently answered Hamart's question
Three men and one woman, a group of four, walked over on the silver-colored floor, somewhat complaining to Hamart. However, judging by their familiar tone, it seems they have a good relationship in daily life. It appears that before Feng Yiyou forcibly awakened him, Hamart was indeed with these few people.
