Chapter 272: Reality and Virtuality Reversed!
"Just live as you please, a young person in their 20s but an old person at heart in their 80s, isn’t it great?"
Ye Qiu joked.
"Maybe the mindset can be more relaxed, haha."
Fang Ze laughed, "True, are you turning … thirty this year?"
Ye Qiu looked at Fang Ze and asked, "Are you asking about the age of the soul or the age of the body?"
"Hmm… let’s talk about the age of the soul," Fang Ze replied.
Ye Qiu thought for a moment. Considering his past life and the years spent in the game, he might already be around fifty or sixty years old.
"My actual age should be twenty-seven, I was in my early twenties when I first started playing the game," Ye Qiu said.
Fang Ze nodded, "I must be getting old then. I was around twenty-six when I first played the game."
"If we count it now, I’m in my thirties. I can’t even imagine what the future will be like in another thirty years," Fang Ze said.
"Even though our bodies are just thirty, our actual age might be approaching eighty," Ye Qiu speculated.
"Everyone wishes for eternal youth. Wouldn’t it be nice to live for a hundred or hundred and eighty years?" Ye Qiu said as he took a sip from his tea cup.
Just then, the door to the hall suddenly swung open.
Then a big man with red long hair, dressed in black and red armor, carrying a cloak with twin swords walked in.
"Old Ye?!"
Ye Qiu smiled at the newcomer, "Old Du, that Abyss armor must have cost a fortune, what weapon are you using now?"
Du Yuan pulled out a big sword that was all black with red and gold patterns.
"I’ve been using the golden sword you gave me, couldn’t bear to part with it, and later reinforced it with a few other weapons."
"I heard from the guild members shouting that Master Ye was here, all eavesdropping outside the door."
"When I heard the news, I came right away, knew Night Song couldn’t make it, so it had to be you!"
Ye Qiu remained calm, "You still remember that."
When fighting the 11th floor Guardian Orc Spirit, Night Song brought two apprentices and stole Du Yuan’s first kill.
Because of this, the two of them worked together for a really long time.
"Can we just let it go like that? Seeing how he is hanging out with you now, I can’t be bothered to argue with him. Otherwise, I would challenge him like in the old days, betting ten thousand years of lifespan in the arena!"
After so many years in the game, Old Du’s temper is still so fiery.
Well, it’s quite nice, like not forgetting the original intention.
"How come you have time to come today? Before, they said you were busy every day, couldn’t see anyone for 24 hours?"
That’s true.
During that time, Ye Qiu traveled between various countries, but he wasn’t going after anything specific, nor was he busy with any tasks.
One could even say he was just wandering around.
Because he remembered something.
There was someone from a previous life, they met in the eastern countries before.
If we count the time, we are almost catching up with the past life.
But this time, Ye Qiu’s visit was fruitless, because too much time had passed and he couldn’t remember some things.
People’s memory fades over time.
During a previous drinking session with guild members, he actually had a moment of forgetting that the game was about to arrive.
If…
If, if the game doesn’t arrive…
Ha, what nonsense am I talking?
Ye Qiu shook his head, "Just busy work, you guys are doing a good job, any chance of cooperating with our guild?"
Fang Ze smiled and said, "Ha-ha, what’s up with you today? Are you willing to give up some land to us?"
"The land over in the northern region is so fertile, and it’s also vast. If we can make good use of it, there’s real potential."
"Is that a real partnership?"
Ye Qiu nodded, "To put it nicely, we’re just guarding that small patch of land. To put it bluntly, we’re sitting on a gold mine and not doing anything with it."
"No one around our area enjoys farming, and there’s no one with a mind for business. So, we just have this large piece of land sitting idle."
"If you can take over the development of that land, it would be a win-win for all of us."
Fang Ze nodded, "Well, I actually have an idea. Have you noticed that there are more and more entertainment players nowadays?"
"Players today have some assets, in simple terms, we have moved past our most difficult times."
"Everyone is becoming wealthy now, and the quality of life is improving as well."
"You’re like those vegetable sellers before, there’s a big market, players buy vegetables to save money."
"But now, the vegetable sellers are struggling, people prefer to buy meat now."
"Except for that vegetable stall which is also selling beef skewers, where is the market for vegetable stalls now?"
"But they have developed into brands, the two are in a partnership."
"Nowadays, everyone can afford meat, in summary, everyone has more money and wants to improve their quality of life."
"So, I want to create an entertainment area, the specific details are not decided yet, but it shouldn’t be like the real world."
"You know, in games, you can do anything, if you introduce thrilling activities, people can experience them, what else can be more thrilling?"
"How about setting up a haunted house, for those who go out at night to dig graves, are they scared of that?"
"Let’s just say, they are doing this for fun."
"So I think, if you want to create an entertainment area, you definitely can’t use the things from real life."
If I remember correctly, the previous life’s Fang Ze seemed to have this idea, but it is said that he didn’t finish it at that time.
Yes, the game arrived before it was finished.
The game at that time only lasted for ten years.
At that time, there was no time difference, just a completely opposite ten years compared to reality.
Those ten years really changed the whole world, some capitalists even reached into the game.
More than 3 billion people worldwide were immersed in the game every day. If you start a project in reality again, who would incur losses?
So they all started developing in the game and made a lot of money in it.
Believe me, making money in the game is much easier than in reality.
But that was just the beginning, as more and more capital entered the game, the exchange rate of currency in the game kept dropping.
Now, the value of currency in the game and in reality have almost matched up.
It’s all driven by those people, who really turned the game into a second reality.
It’s kind of like what they used to call the metaverse, where people are completely immersed in a virtual world.
At this point, the virtual world became the reality, while the real world became more like a virtual world.
"If anyone can go head to head with those capitalists here, then the whole The Sealed Land will belong to your two families."
"I believe you already have a mature plan, so I’ll let you handle the planning for my piece of land."
That easy to agree?
Fang Ze raised an eyebrow, "Old Ye, tell me straight, is there something you need our help with?"
