Xia Ruize and Cheng Huai dived into their respective holographic simulation cabins, seized the time to observe closely the holographic simulation cabin entities around them, and exchanged their findings on heart net.
Reproducing these advanced technologies in their real world seemed like an interesting challenge.
Half an hour before the start of the competition, all 70 contestants were already in place. During the waiting process, many contestants looked at other contestants either generously or secretly.
Xia Ruize had the most secretive way of looking at others. After sweeping through his mental power, he wrote down the basic characteristics of all the players and the planets they belonged to, but no one noticed at all.
At nine o’clock, all the doors of the simulation cabins were closed on time. In the darkness, a line of words appeared on the light screen in front:
[Do you participate in the 2333 Chang’an Civilization Tourism Festival?
Yes/no]
Xia Ruize subconsciously chose “Yes”, and in the next second, his consciousness escaped from the closed and dark simulation cabin and appeared in a jungle of birds and flowers.
It was amazing!
This time, Xia Ruize clearly realized that he was actually a virtual character now. He moved his hands, feet, and brain, and found that the skills on the mental side could be used, and his physical fitness and space seemed to be fine.
Based on the information collected and learned in the past few days, he could probably understand the reason.
In the virtual world constructed by holographic simulation technology, in addition to the preset content, a certain “imagination” space was reserved for users to play and fill in the vacancies.
That is to say, as long as the user’s imagination was clear and detailed enough, the “imagined creation” could appear in the virtual world.
For example, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian possessed all kinds of skills in the endless world, well-stocked space equipment, and strong physical fitness. Because they take it for granted that they have it, they really have it in the virtual world.
Xia Ruize, who realized that the trees, flowers and birds were very real, deeply understood why people in this mission world regarded the virtual world as the second world.
Not only could the real world be reproduced here, but also things that couldn´t be done in the real world could be achieved, not to mention that the virtual world had a faster flow of time and could enjoy a longer life in it. Who didn’t want to stay in the second world?
During the previous Zhuoyuan star Planetary Trials, the real time had only passed two days, but the virtual world had passed five days, and the ratio was basically maintained at 1:2.
That is to say, if you could live two hundred years in the real world, you could enjoy four hundred years in the virtual world.
If it wasn’t for the fact that today’s technology couldn’t support human muscle atrophy after staying in the simulation cabin for a long time, probably some people would want to stay in the virtual world and not come out.
Xia Ruize put his interest in holographic simulation technology aside for the time being. After all, the most important thing in front of him was competition.
Although the scenery of the jungle was beautiful, Xia Ruize was the only one, and there was no second figure in the range shrouded by the space backtracking skill, and it looked eerie and terrifying for no reason.
Xia Ruize looked around and felt that the first problem he had to solve was, which direction should he go?
Carefully exploring around his “birthplace” for a while, Xia Ruize found something unusual. Although the scenery in front of him was beautiful, his body temperature was a little high. In less than five minutes, he was already sweating profusely.
Xia Ruize, who had nothing to gain, simply chose a random direction and walked forward. While walking, he also used stones to make blanks on the tree trunk next to him, leaving marks.
After walking alone for an hour in the dense forest that seemed to never get out, Xia Ruize finally saw something different.
He stopped, raised his head high, and at the end of his line of sight, there was a huge cone-shaped mountain, so tall that it blocked the sky and the sun.
This mountain peak was an active volcano, and the black mountain wall was covered with bright red lava fires. If this was a painting, it was simply dazzling.
But this was the upcoming test…
Seeing that there was an erupting active volcano in front of you, the correct way to deal with it should be to turn around and run quickly. No matter how fast you could run, you must at least have the correct attitude.
But Xia Ruize’s feet seemed to have taken root, and they couldn’t turn at all, because above the crater where the thick magma was spewed, the gray-black volcanic ash formed a huge flag that fluttered in the wind. In addition, there was a huge line of words as a reminder:
[2333 Chang’an Civilization Tourism Festival Celebration Carnival: Climb the Peak!]
Very good, it seemed that the topic of this tourism festival competition had been displayed, which was to climb a volcano.
Thinking about the environmental tests related to volcanic magma during the competition in Zhuoyuan star before, the appearance of volcanic magma in the final Chang’an civilization competition didn´t seem to be a troublesome thing… That’s weird!
Xia Ruize felt a toothache. He felt that the temperature of the surrounding air was higher than at the beginning, and his clothes were soaking wet, but he could only grit his teeth and continue to move towards the volcano.
Xia Ruize not only marched firmly towards the volcano, but also accelerated his speed.
The completion evaluation of the extended mission was determined according to the final ranking. Since he had participated, of course he wanted to get a good ranking.
In other parts of the jungle, similar images kept playing out.
The players who were randomly dropped into the jungle were dazed and at a loss when they opened their eyes. In fact, they only needed to walk firmly in one direction for an hour before they could see the active volcano with its own text prompts.
In fact, no matter which direction they go, fast or slow, if they walked in the same direction for an hour, they could see the volcano.
The onlookers thought it was simple, but the players in the competition did not.
Because the contestants were blocked from most of their memories, leaving only a brief impression that they seemed to have come to a deserted island for tourism, and then got lost for no reason.
In this case, the players officially sent by each planet performed slightly better. Most of them were firm, calm and rational, and could quickly adapt to the environment and explore the surroundings.
But the performance of the folk players chosen from a random list was mediocre.
In a panic, some players stayed in place for most of the day and refused to move, and some players walked a distance in one direction and then suspected that the direction they chose was incorrect, and then turned back and walked in another direction.
After tossing for a long time, even if they finally saw the volcano, they didn’t know that it was very close to success before.
Countless spectators looked at the strange performances of the various players and laughed.
According to statistics, similar comments such as “I can also go online” have instantly become hot words, appearing in large numbers on various social platforms.
The first contestant Xia Ruize met was an official representative of Central Star. He was a strong, muscular man. When Xia Ruize saw him, he was hesitating at the foot of the volcano.
Hearing the sound, the other party turned around and saw Xia Ruize, his eyes instantly filled with surprise, and he subconsciously greeted:
“Dude! Are you lost in this ghost place too?”
This sentence alone made Xia Ruize realize something. He didn’t answer immediately, but nodded in agreement.
But he didn’t need to answer, the other party seemed to have finally found the same kind, and he had already talked endlessly:
“Hey! I’m so sorry! I’m just a fool, what do you think I have nothing to do to explore a desert island? It’s alright now, I’m going to explore myself!”
The big man patted his thighs remorsefully, and suddenly noticed Xia Ruize’s expressionless face, and immediately realized that this thin and small brother in front of him might have also come to explore like himself and got lost, and he was not scolding himself. He cursed at others, so he stopped embarrassedly.
It was all because of the popularity of virgin forest exploration and desert island exploration in recent years, which made people fall into the pit as if they were dazed.
Realizing that continuing to complain may lead to a breakdown in the relationship with the same kind that he finally met, the big man stopped the original topic and opened a new topic:
“Oh, stop talking, brother, did you see the line on the volcano? Did you say we encountered some supernatural event? Are we going to listen to it climbing up? I tried it just now, that stone is quite hot…”
Xia Ruize really didn’t expect that this man was tall and big. The player who should be from the military turned out to be a chatterbox. Even if Xia Ruize didn’t make a sound, he would be able to chat about a day when he wouldn’t be cold.
After the big man finished talking about what he found, what he encountered, and what he was hesitant to do, Xia Ruize had personally touched the stone wall, probed a few footholds, and planned two places on the mountain wall within sight. A feasible climbing route, and then said a word to the big man without hesitation:
“Climb!”
After that, Xia Ruize climbed up first.
The other party said too much, he said less, just to form a balance.
After hearing Xia Ruize’s decision, the big man was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and decided to follow along, but he still didn’t stop:
“This rock is really hot! We just climb up without any equipment. What if one of us doesn’t get a firm grip and falls? What if we encounter magma? We only have one life, buddy, be careful. Consider it! …”
Xia Ruize really simulated in his mind how to deal with the difficulties mentioned by the big man, but in fact he was not very nervous, probably because he knew that this was a virtual world, and subconsciously thought that death was not a big deal.
Moreover, Xia Ruize checked it and found that the rock wall of the volcano was inclined at an angle of 45 to 60 degrees to the ground, which was an angle where a person could lie on his stomach and climb with his hands and feet.
He was not crawling, and would look ahead to see if there was a suitable foothold above, step by step, and climb up steadily.
Although the hands, arms, legs, and feet that touched the mountain wall were scalded and uncomfortable, the surrounding temperature was too high, and the body lost a lot of water and felt thirsty. During the climbing process, the whole body was exerting force and a little tired, but Xia Ruize felt that it was acceptable.
It may be that the rewards he had harvested in this mission world were enough. Eat the emperor´s wealth and be loyal to the emperor1, winning a game in the virtual world, it’s simple.
In the background voice of the big man chattering, Xia Ruize climbed more than 100 meters, and then the two were called by the voice below.
Xia Ruize looked down carefully and saw a contestant standing at the foot of the mountain. It was the short-haired girl from Zhuoyuan star ‘s pair of girlfriends.
“Are you really going to climb a volcano? The volcano is erupting, and there will be lava flowing down at any time!”
Before the big man was about to chatter, Xia Ruize took the lead in encouraging:
“There is no other way, doing as required is at least a possible way to survive!”
The short-haired little girl’s face was shaken, and the big man got Xia Ruize’s attitude, so he followed suit. He was loud and talked a lot, and the shake on the little girl’s face became more and more obvious.
When Xia Ruize took the lead and continued to climb up, and the big man hurried to chase, the little girl looked at their backs and finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand to claw at the mountain wall, ignoring the burning pain in her palm, and supported her body to climb up.
She didn’t know why, the hot mountain wall clearly made the body feel burning pain everywhere, but the little girl didn’t care about the degree of pain, as if she had experienced a higher level of pain.
Throwing away this inexplicable thought, because the actual difficulty of climbing was smaller than expected, the little girl calmed down a bit.
The next problem was that the little girl’s strength was not enough to support her body for a long time, and her climbing speed was slow. Slowly she has been moving forward.
As the little girl struggled to climb up, people appeared at the foot of the mountain one after another.
All the players who could get close to the foot of the mountain had seen the hint of gray-black volcanic ash on the top of the mountain from a distance, and have already struggled all the way.
Xia Ruize, who climbed higher and higher, looked down at the latecomers below, but he didn’t see the figure of his lover for a long time, only the father in the father-son group, and other Zhuoyuan star players.
After analyzing the players below based on the information he learned before the game, he found that each planet had one to three players appearing on this mountain road, but no planet had more than three players.
Xia Ruize suspected that no matter how he walked after leaving the jungle, he would eventually reach the foot of a fixed mountain, and there might be three or four such fixed foothills.
Cheng Huaiqian was likely to be assigned to another fixed foot of the mountain, and if they wanted to meet, both of them had to go to the top of the mountain.
With this goal, Xia Ruize was more motivated to climb up the mountain, but the sound of “Zizi” sounded, and the next second, a bright red lava flow suddenly flowed down from above, flowing down between him and the big man.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

I'm just a fool, what do you think I have nothing to do to explore a desert island? It's alright now, I'm going to explore myself!The big man patted his thighs remorsefully, and suddenly noticed Xia Ruize's expressionless face, and immediately realized that this thin and small brother in front of him might have also come to explore like himself and got lost, and he was not scolding himself. He cursed at others, so he stopped embarrassedly.It was all because of the popularity of virgin forest exploration and desert island exploration in recent years, which made people fall into the pit as if they were dazed.Realizing that continuing to complain may lead to a breakdown in the relationship with the same kind that he finally met, the big man stopped the original topic and opened a new topic:Oh, stop talking, brother, did you see the line on the volcano? Did you say we encountered some supernatural event? Are we going to listen to it climbing up? I tried it just now, that stone is quite hotXia Ruize really didn't expect that this man was tall and big. The player who should be from the military turned out to be a chatterbox. Even if Xia Ruize didn't make a sound, he would be able to chat about a day when he wouldn't be cold.After the big man finished talking about what he found, what he encountered, and what he was hesitant to do, Xia Ruize had personally touched the stone wall, probed a few footholds, and planned two places on the mountain wall within sight. A feasible climbing route, and then said a word to the big man without hesitation:Climb!After that, Xia Ruize climbed up first.The other party said too much, he said less, just to form a balance.After hearing Xia Ruize's decision, the big man was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and decided to follow along, but he still didn't stop:This rock is really hot! We just climb up without any equipment. What if one of us doesn't get a firm grip and falls? What if we encounter magma? We only have one life, buddy, be careful. Consider it! Xia Ruize really simulated in his mind how to deal with the difficulties mentioned by the big man, but in fact he was not very nervous, probably because he knew that this was a virtual world, and subconsciously thought that death was not a big deal.Moreover, Xia Ruize checked it and found that the rock wall of the volcano was inclined at an angle of 45 to 60 degrees to the ground, which was an angle where a person could lie on his stomach and climb with his hands and feet.He was not crawling, and would look ahead to see if there was a suitable foothold above, step by step, and climb up steadily.Although the hands, arms, legs, and feet that touched the mountain wall were scalded and uncomfortable, the surrounding temperature was too high, and the body lost a lot of water and felt thirsty. During the climbing process, the whole body was exerting force and a little tired, but Xia Ruize felt that it was acceptable.It may be that the rewards he had harvested in this mission world were enough. Eat the emperors wealth and be loyal to the emperor1, winning a game in the virtual world, it's simple.In the background voice of the big man chattering, Xia Ruize climbed more than 100 meters, and then the two were called by the voice below.Xia Ruize looked down carefully and saw a contestant standing at the foot of the mountain. It was the short-haired girl from Zhuoyuan star s pair of girlfriends.Are you really going to climb a volcano? The volcano is erupting, and there will be lava flowing down at any time!Before the big man was about to chatter, Xia Ruize took the lead in encouraging:There is no other way, doing as required is at least a possible way to survive!The short-haired little girl's face was shaken, and the big man got Xia Ruize's attitude, so he followed suit. He was loud and talked a lot, and the shake on the little girl's face became more and more obvious.When Xia Ruize took the lead and continued to climb up, and the big man hurried to chase, the little girl looked at their backs and finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand to claw at the mountain wall, ignoring the burning pain in her palm, and supported her body to climb up.She didn't know why, the hot mountain wall clearly made the body feel burning pain everywhere, but the little girl didn't care about the degree of pain, as if she had experienced a higher level of pain.Throwing away this inexplicable thought, because the actual difficulty of climbing was smaller than expected, the little girl calmed down a bit.The next problem was that the little girl's strength was not enough to support her body for a long time, and her climbing speed was slow. Slowly she has been moving forward.As the little girl struggled to climb up, people appeared at the foot of the mountain one after another.All the players who could get close to the foot of the mountain had seen the hint of gray-black volcanic ash on the top of the mountain from a distance, and have already struggled all the way.Xia Ruize, who climbed higher and higher, looked down at the latecomers below, but he didn't see the figure of his lover for a long time, only the father in the father-son group, and other Zhuoyuan star players.After analyzing the players below based on the information he learned before the game, he found that each planet had one to three players appearing on this mountain road, but no planet had more than three players.Xia Ruize suspected that no matter how he walked after leaving the jungle, he would eventually reach the foot of a fixed mountain, and there might be three or four such fixed foothills.Cheng Huaiqian was likely to be assigned to another fixed foot of the mountain, and if they wanted to meet, both of them had to go to the top of the mountain.With this goal, Xia Ruize was more motivated to climb up the mountain, but the sound of Zizi sounded, and the next second, a bright red lava flow suddenly flowed down from above, flowing down between him and the big man.
