Chapter 1514 The Way to Break the Stalemate
Sima Qing felt as if he had fallen into a void.
A state of chaos and nothingness, where the divine consciousness seemed to be detached from the world.
A place similar to a spiritual space.
Scenes from his past life flashed before his eyes...
"You failed."
"You've disappointed me this time."
His father sat behind a large ebony table, his perpetually stern face coldly watching him.
"The World of Races is currently the only fully immersive virtual reality game in the world, and it is a 'second real world' created by a global consortium of companies. Now, tens of thousands of people apply for permanent hibernation every day to immigrate into the game."
“All families, conglomerates, and corporations around the world are vying for resources and dividing up territories in it. You should understand its significance to families.”
"I've investigated. That Night Song is just an ordinary player with no background. He set up his own studio in the game and has no capital or assistance from any guild."
"And you, possessing all the resources of your family, actually lost over a trillion (in-game currency) in your business battle with him! You were manipulated by a commoner player with no capital background!"
"He has brought more than a dozen city-states and mineral resources in the eastern continent into his hands!"
My father's voice was like a cold, sharp blade.
"..."
Sima Qing remained silent for a long time before finally speaking with difficulty, "It was indeed my mistake... but that's because I fell into his trap. I never expected that person to be so cunning..."
The father's eyes darkened: "Have you lost your mind? What has the family ever taught you? You've enjoyed so many resources and connections, yet you still fall into the trap of a commoner so easily?"
"..."
Sima Qing remained silent.
“What disappointed me even more this time was your loss of composure in front of the media. And after failing, you kept trying to find excuses.” The father leaned back, his gaze frosty: “The essence of anger is incompetence. Only someone who knows they are incapable of achieving their goal or changing the rules will be so angry.”
Sima Qing: "......"
"The reason you failed this time is that you were manipulated by others' emotions," the father said. "But if you are someone who is easily manipulated by emotions, it proves that you are destined to never achieve great things."
"A qualified ambitious person must maintain absolute rationality under any extreme circumstances. Right and wrong, success and failure are all fleeting. Only by suppressing the great ups and downs of human emotions can one become the ultimate winner."
"If you see higher peaks and longer-term benefits, how can you be controlled by your emotions? Even if you are facing your former enemies, what's wrong with bowing down to them as long as there are enough benefits? What's wrong with cooperating with them?"
"As long as you are the final winner, everything is yours."
"on the contrary."
The father paused for a moment: "If you are destined to be a loser, then even if you can get away with it for a while, in the end you will only be trampled underfoot, turned into a stepping stone for the stronger, and crushed into dust."
......
"Excuse me." Sima Qing placed his hands on the table with his fingers interlaced and looked at Ye Ge: "Let me introduce myself. I am the current president of the Light Alliance, the chairman of the Gene Company, and the president of the Myriad Races Trading Company."
This is the scene where Sima Qing first met Ye Ge in this life.
He squinted, staring intently at Ye Ge, carefully observing the person before him.
He wasn't entirely sure if the person in front of him was the same "Night Song" from his previous life's game.
But if he really did travel to this world...
Sima Qing thought of the words his father had spoken in his previous life.
......
"Night Song, the player ranked tenth in the world server of 'Ten Thousand Races Map,' you two must be the same person, right?" Sima Qing leaned back slightly in his chair and said.
Ye Ge shrugged: "It's really embarrassing, because I happen to have the same name as a character in the game, so any of you can recognize me right away."
"And you? Who are you? You must be one of the top 100 players in the world server, right?"
"..."
"What, you don't want to talk about it? Now that we've laid our cards on the table, is there any need to hide your past life's identity like this?"
“Our past identities are no longer important,” Sima Qing said. “Now that we’ve arrived in this world, let’s talk about things here.”
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
Sima Qing took out a folder, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it towards Ye Ge.
Ye Ge opened the folder and took out the contents.
"The equity transfer agreement for the gene company..." Ye Ge asked, "What does this mean?"
Sima Qing's eyes remained calm: "As the chairman of Gene Company, I invite you to join Gene Company and become one of the controlling shareholders."
......
"Huff...huff...huff..."
Sima Qing knelt among the cold, rubble, his breathing heavy like a broken bellows. His consciousness was fading amidst the excruciating pain, and his reason flickered like a candle in the wind, threatening to go out.
At that moment, a completely emotionless, AI-synthesized mechanical voice suddenly resounded deep within his mind:
[Dear player "Sima Qing" Chairman, you have completed all the phased tasks assigned by the company. Thank you for your hard work over the years.]
This sound is...
The company's AI? ...
Sima Qing's consciousness was hazy, and he said in a deep voice, "You lied to me... Even if I became the host of the Primordial Qilin, I still couldn't control the power of the Heavenly Dao!"
[Heavenly Dao System AI: Dear player "Sima Qing", the AI has not deceived you.]
[Heavenly Dao System AI: However, half of your soul was burned away by player "Night Song" later on, resulting in a lower-than-expected carrying capacity. You are unable to fully control the power of the Heavenly Dao and the demonized Primordial Qilin cells. This situation exceeds the original calculation model.]
[Heavenly Dao System AI: However, there is still room for you to salvage the situation.]
[Heavenly Dao System AI: By obtaining the Azure Dragon Sacred Bone from the Azure Dragon Palace and combining it with the sealed power of the laws there, you can repair your damaged soul and thus control the power of the Heavenly Dao.]
[Heavenly Dao System AI: According to AI calculations, you still have a way to break this deadlock. We recommend a solution: you currently have 73 System Shop points, which you can exchange for the System Shop's god-level item—the Primordial Qilin Crystal...]
