The World Online
chapter-1147

Gaia 6th year, 1st month, 1st day.

Before the players in the world could even recover from the new round of system updates, new bombshells were dropped.

At 9 AM, the Federation President held a press conference and announced the dissolution of the Federation, and that Skynet would take over. The moment the news spread out, everyone was stunned and at a loss.

"What's the situation? Is the world ending?"

Luckily, the subsequent news revealed made the players heave a sky of relief.

Although the Federation was dissolved, the squadron was still under the management of Skynet and would not have any effects on the players. In the first five years of the game, the players had already lived in a world with no Federation.

This was just making it public.

Although this was the case, there were still many uneasy people. Some people were even worried that Gaia had turned evil and controlled the squadron to use machines to rule the mankind.

Luckily, the actions of Gaia ended all their worries.

At 10 AM, a System Notification sounded out in the world.

"World Notification: From today onward, the game resources are officially tabulated. Players can check their personal achievement value at any moment as well as relevant permission levels. As for the specifics, please log on to the official website."

...

Based on the achievement value players earned during that day, the achievement value would update at midnight.

Gaia also released an achievement value commerce city for players to use achievement value to buy items like advanced nutritional fluids, genetic serums, artificial intelligence, cyborgs, and the like.

The so-called artificial intelligence was like Gaia, an AI perfectly merged with the human body.

Along with Gaia possessing extraordinary creation ability, some technologies that Earth did not have were developed by Gaia in the next few years, welcoming a huge technological explosion.

These new items especially targeted Planet Hope, becoming the main items that were exchanged.

As the squadron had limited resources, these items only had a limited supply. The rare items like AI even needed relevant permission levels to purchase it.

This also meant that from this moment onward, the human competition on Planet Hope had begun. Whoever exchanged for these items first would have an advantage.

...

Shanhai City, Xia Palace.

Along with the System Notification ending, a System Notification sounded out in Ouyang Shuo's ear.

"System Notification: Starting to evaluate player's assets, recalculating achievement value..."

The assets of the Great Xia Dynasty would follow a certain ratio and be recorded under Ouyang Shuo's name. Then it would follow a certain ratio and become achievement value. Without a doubt, this would be a gigantic amount.

"System Notification: Evaluation complete. Player Ouyang Shuo has 12538745 achievement value, permission level upgraded to B... achievement value upgraded to A rank, congratulations player!"

A rank permission level had a minimum requirement of 10 million points while S was 100 million.

Ouyang Shuo, this commoner boy, had used five years of hard work in game to stand on the same level as the elders in Silver Hand, becoming one of the small number of people in the world that had A rank permission level.

More importantly, Great Xia was still expanding and developing. Ouyang Shuo's achievement value would continue to grow, and as for what level he would reach, it was still uncertain.

However, with the current size of Great Xia, Ouyang Shuo only managed to break through to the A rank. For him to get to S rank, Great Xia would needed to expand eight times the current scale.

What a tough journey ahead.

"System Notification: Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for reaching A rank. Player can have a solo room in the squadron. Will you take it?"

Ouyang Shuo was moved. The benefits of a high permission level were finally showing.

As the squadron had limited space, most players cabins were packed like luggage close to one another. As players could not go offline, they did not need room to move.

"Accept!"

Ouyang Shuo did not hesitate, as there were negative side effects to cryogenic freeze. If he could go offline to adjust, it would be for the best.

Furthermore, the Five Emperor True Manual had a high requirement for the body, and it was best if he could go offline to cultivate.

The moment Ouyang Shuo said that, his cabin in reality was swiftly transported to a certain room. It took less than 20 minutes. After that, Ouyang Shuo got a notification.

"System Notification: Player cabin has reached its position. As for the specific arrangements, players can go offline to take a look!"

Ouyang Shuo held in his emotions and returned to his room in the sleeping palace, closing his eyes and going offline.

...

In the galaxy, spaceship numbed ZGMD105.

Along with the cabin being opened, Ouyang Shuo slowly opened his eyes, and the gentle light burned his eyes such that he teared up. He had not felt light in five years.

Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to get up.

After dispersing his cultivation, the primordial energy had gone into his bones and limbs, which made his body really strong. However, Ouyang Shuo still felt really weak. If it were not for the primordial energy washing his body, his muscles would have shriveled up.

After a short while, he got up and looked around.

The room was not big. There was one room, one hall, one kitchen, and one toilet, covering less than 40 square meters.

The game cabin was placed in the corner of the hall, and in the middle, there was a sofa facing a television. At the side of the hall was a large transparent pane of glass, and through it one could see the pitch black galaxy.

Compared to the Xia Palace, this was nothing. But only by being here and looking out into the galaxy could he feel a sense of reality.

The game world was only a vessel, and in the end, they had to return to reality.

In the future five years, as Ouyang Shuo led Great Xia to expand its territory, he had to prepare for life on Planet Hope.

At this very moment, the television switched on, and Gaia appeared.

"Is this considered our first meeting?" Ouyang Shuo took the initiative to greet Gaia.

Gaia's eyes shook. It avoided the question and did not answer him, "You can raise demands on your room. As long as you pay, the demands can be met."

Ouyang Shuo nodded, "Can I bring the cabins of my family members over?"

"Yes!"

Ouyang Shuo had the rights to the room, so he could share it with anyone he wanted.

When he was judging the room, he was already thinking about how to fully utilize it. The hall could be used as where the family spent time with one another, and the room was naturally not used for sleeping. If they wanted to sleep, they could enter the game cabin.

Ouyang Shuo was ready to change the room into a cultivation room, and it was best if it had heavy gravity to be used to temper the body.

"No problem, 500 achievement value." Gaia was really direct.

Ouyang Shuo felt really pained. He might have over 10 million points, and 500 was not much, but he could not sustain such use. He estimated that a large part would be used for the heavy gravity room.

The cultivation room would only have basic equipment. Additionally, Ouyang Shuo wanted a suitable weapon. He looked toward Gaia and asked, "Can I get a custom-made a sword in real life?"
