My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 259 Is this the Myriad Realms?
When Qin Yuan's finger touched the "Yes" option in the void, everything around him...

The office's luxury, the figure of a colleague, the snowy view of Moscow outside the window.
Like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, it becomes blurred and distorted in an instant, and then completely disappears.

After a brief feeling of weightlessness and a bizarre flow of colors, his feet landed firmly on solid ground.

What lay before me was no longer a familiar scene, but a space that defied precise description.

Beneath your feet lies a softly shimmering surface, like water or glass, stretching endlessly to the horizon.

There are no sun, moon, or stars overhead, only a flowing stream of data, as dazzling as the aurora borealis, weaving together an ever-changing dome.

In the distance, some floating, uniquely shaped islands and buildings, each with a distinct style, can be vaguely seen.

There are Chinese-style pavilions and towers, as well as cyberpunk steel jungles, and even the blurry outlines of interstellar warships. They float and sink in this boundless space like mirages.

Is this what "myriad realms" are?
A vast metaverse hub connecting countless virtual worlds?

Before he could think it through, that majestic, cold system voice rang out again deep within his consciousness.

This time, however, it wasn't an announcement for all players, but a settlement specifically for him:
[System settlement in progress...]

[World: You have completed "Business Tycoon 1991" and have obtained the unique "World Coin" for your world.]

[Final evaluation being generated...]

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling array of notifications unfolded before his eyes like a waterfall:

【World Imprint: Navigating the Business World】: You have already set your anchor in this world.

Even with Qin Yuan's resolute mind, he was shaken by this series of massive and suffocating data.

178,500 achievement points!

SSS rating!

They even... acquired partial "ownership" of that world?!

Before he could fully process this astonishing gain, a dialog box shimmering with platinum gold light popped up:
[You have a large amount of achievement points. Would you like to exchange them for "Star Coins"?]

Exchange rate: 1 Achievement Point = 1 Star Coin.

[Yes/No (Please note that this operation is irreversible)]

Over 100,000 achievement points can be exchanged for over 100,000 star coins!

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

Qin Yuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He didn't make a decision immediately; exchanging star coins was clearly related to real-world resources, and he needed to be more cautious.

At the same time, his gaze involuntarily turned to this so-called "multiverse" space, trying to understand his environment.

Just as he was exploring with his mind, it was as if his privileges were elevated, and a new light screen unfolded to his side.

This time, what's being displayed is no longer impressive game data.

It is the real...reality.

It was an extremely narrow and oppressive space.

It looks to be no more than ten square meters.

The walls were made of cold alloy and had no decorations whatsoever.

In the center of the room was a simple metal bed fixed to the floor. At the foot of the bed sat a strangely shaped stationary bicycle, its wheels connected to a complex network of wires.

Facing the bed was a huge screen that occupied the entire wall. At this moment, most of the screen was dark, with only a faint system connection indicator flashing in the corner.

Is this...reality? My...home?

My mind was shaken.

Qin Yuan immediately mobilized the search resources of the Myriad Realms System to find all information about Beidou.

The information Wu Weiguo and others gave him was very basic.

Now that he has arrived in this world, he is undoubtedly here to establish a true understanding of "BeiDou".

As he searched for more and more information, he "saw" even more.

His real home is actually located at the bottom of a building called The Tower.

The vast majority of people like him, from the lower classes, live in a massive, vertical urban structure called the Tower.

Each of these giant towers is like a self-contained, highly centralized company.

The residents inside the tower are marked by social class from birth.

For people like him, living space is compressed to the extreme.

That ten-square-meter "pigeon cage" is all there is.

Their daily task is to "generate electricity" on that stationary bicycle, contributing a negligible amount of energy to the giant tower by expending their own physical energy.

Meanwhile, they are forced to watch endless advertisements on the screen in exchange for the bare minimum rations to sustain their lives—synthetic nutrient paste and recycled water.

Beyond the giant tower lies a vast, lifeless desert, swirling with sandstorms and frequent deadly toxic gases and radioactive dust storms; the natural environment is no longer suitable for ordinary human survival.

The entire "Beidou" system is dotted with tens of thousands of such giant towers.

Those at the top of the tower enjoy unimaginable resources, while those at the bottom seem to exist solely to maintain the basic operation of this giant tower.

Connecting these isolated, post-apocalyptic fortress-like towers is not traditional transportation, but rather the virtual world he currently inhabits—[Myriad Realms].

And a powerful and mysterious logistics team that relies on the [Myriad Realms] system for scheduling and traversing between real-world deserts and giant towers.

【Myriad Realms】 is an incredibly vast virtual reality network that contains countless historical fragments, fantasy worlds, and competitive arenas, just like "The World of Business".

It is not only the only "oasis" for the underprivileged to escape the cruel reality, but also their only way to change their fate!

Only by achieving accomplishments and gaining achievement points in the [Multiverse] can these points be exchanged for the hard currency "Star Coins".

Star coins can be exchanged for better living conditions, more delicious real food, and higher-level entertainment privileges.

And...most importantly, raise the citizen rank within the tower.

The emergence of the "Myriad Realms" has, to some extent, saved humanity like him from the depths of despair, giving them a virtual yet real path to "ascend."

After digesting this massive amount of world-building information, Qin Yuan remained silent for a long time.

No wonder... they are as insignificant as ants.

No wonder... everyone is struggling desperately in the [Myriad Realms].

Because reality has long been a desolate wasteland of despair.

Only in the "Myriad Realms," in virtual worlds like "Across the Business World," can people experience the grandeur of life and achieve success and dignity.

It might even be... the only chance to change one's fate.

"But isn't that a bit too outrageous?"

"Your civilization seems very advanced, yet you still need to generate electricity by human power?"

"Moreover, this amount of electricity generated is negligible. The commercial modular controlled nuclear fusion experiment used in later generations occupied an area the size of three basketball courts, but its total power generation could only supply half a million households for a whole year."

"Why is such a device installed on this giant tower?"

"Just to collect electricity, prevent the working class from resting, and keep the giant tower's social system running smoothly?"

"Or does it serve another purpose?"

Several possibilities flashed through Qin Yuan's mind, but based on the information he could currently access, he was unable to make an accurate judgment.

He took a deep breath and looked at the floating exchange dialog box again.

Looking at his six-figure achievement points, he slowly began to make a decision.
