Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!

"As for Lu Wenhao's future, it's not easy to predict."

"In the computation system of our classmate Xiao Ai, the historical process of Earth's civilization is predicted to advance by about one ten-thousandth over the next twenty years, due to the influence of these two individuals."

"Only one ten-thousandth?"

"One ten-thousandth is already quite impressive, after all. Earth's civilization is currently facing the impact of the Supernatural Era. The power dynamics of nations are complex and intertwined. South Gao Country is but a tiny nation with a colonial past, what more could be expected?"

When he uttered these words, he didn't feel at all as if he were describing a story that happened in a game.

Or perhaps, what's real and what's fake are all the same thing.

Wang Hao casually turned on the television and found a scientific lecture being broadcasted: "Hello everyone, welcome to the public lecture on the new Heart Origin Flow Method of the new era. I am Guo Zhenqing, a professor of brain psychology, and I will introduce to you a novel form of meditation."

"This Heart Origin Flow Method mainly emphasizes maintaining the heart of a child and keeping it unaffected by the worldly distractions. Everyone, follow me and recite the mantra silently: 'Upon birth into this world, a baby carries a spark of spirit, shining bright amidst chaos, within the womb it holds the source, developing channels and bone marrow, seeking the spiritual mechanisms of heaven and earth, forming in ten months, and falls from the stalk when ripe. But entering the world, one cannot avoid the mundane; all senses clouded by dust, energy pathways blocked, gradually the body labors, spirit dissipates, accumulates illness, and life ends in the sixties or seventies... It's difficult for all...'"

For some reason, these kinds of strange lectures on meditation, Zen, and the like have been broadcast for several months non-stop, with no end in sight.

Professor after professor took the stage to expound at length on various Buddhist and Taoist texts.

It's gotten to the point where there's no regular TV to watch anymore.

Training classes popped up like mushrooms after rain, seemingly becoming a new entrepreneurial direction.

Of course, there's also a mix of swindlers.

Many coaches don't have any real skill at all, they're just conning people. Some men just want to use the excuse of attending classes to hit on girls.

"The times are changing so fast."

Suddenly, Old Wang had an interesting idea, and with curiosity, he asked, "Do you think, could this be a sign of the resurgence of Spiritual Energy? Maybe the Great Xia government has already gotten wind of the coming of the Supernatural Era and is using this as a way to slowly guide the public."

"And there's also news about Parallel Worlds. Could it be that they've actually found the Parallel Worlds, that is, Blue Star, Mountain and Sea Realm?"

At this point, Wang Hao felt a sense of wonder, this was reality...

Not the game he was playing!

Xiao Yue was also momentarily stunned, her body tensing up at such a tricky question. How could one answer such a question?

Big Cousin was not at all easy to fool!

She couldn't be expected to answer this death-defying question all by herself, could she?

Sadly, the heavy responsibility of saving the world could only rest on her frail shoulders to bear alone.

Xiao Yue looked at Old Wang's somewhat playful expression and, with a teasing tone, said, "Even if Spiritual Energy really did make a comeback, there shouldn't be too much difference here. Life goes on as usual, and people still have to go to work. Do you, you lazy bum, actually want to become a 'rolling king,' diligently cultivate superpowers and reach the pinnacle of life?"

"That's true, I probably wouldn't change my lifestyle. But that's not entirely accurate either," Wang Hao stroked his chin and said, "After all, it's a big piece of cake. If it's not handled properly and becomes a celebration for just a few people, then it might not turn out to be such a good thing. Such a privileged class could greatly hinder the overall progress of society."

"But it's okay, creating more heroes will always break through these difficulties."

As they talked about this, Old Wang became puzzled again. Why did he have such thoughts?

Why could he create more heroes? It's not as if human beings couldn't overcome this hurdle without his interference. It might just take a bit longer.

Or perhaps, it was just for fun.

Even if there really were supernatural phenomena in reality, it didn't seem to be such a big deal...

As his imagination ran wild and his thoughts became broader, suddenly, a knocking sound "dong dong dong" came from the door.

"Who is it, this late at night!"

He opened the door to find a package on the ground with a note attached.

"Dear Player, hello. Congratulations on winning our company's special internal prize—a Visitor Helmet. With this helmet, a second player can join the game as a visitor. Have fun playing!"

Wang Hao's eyes widened with surprise as he triggered the Lucky Fish Fortune – a heavenly reward had descended!

Through this helmet, Xiao Yue could now also play the game.

Although she could only take a brief tour as a visitor, it didn't matter, letting a girl marvel at his in-game achievements was an eagerly anticipated affair.

As for the series of questions he had just been pondering, well, they weren't important right now, he'd set them aside for the moment.

Standing behind him, the Xiao Yue who had witnessed the gaming helmet lit up, then furrowed her brow slightly, falling into deep thought.

Had the time... finally ripened?

...

...

The pleasant day began in the morning!

After breakfast, Wang Hao couldn't wait to start playing a multiplayer game with Xiao Yue.

Even though they often played games together like PUBG or Honor of Kings, this was the first time they played this VR game together, and there was a little excitement in his heart.

"This is the vast territory I've conquered, from a mere soldier to the rank of Captain, it wasn't easy at all! This world feels quite real, doesn't it?"

Wang Hao was showing her around the giant Planet Fortress's core. The Nuclear Fusion Energy Room, which was the size of a mountain, contained terrifying thermal energy and shone with a pale blue light; the Anti-matter Star Destroyer Cannon could destroy Earth in one hit. But these are just the most basic weapons; there are even more sci-fi, almost fantasy-like, High-dimensional Weapons, Black Hole Bombs!

The might of the cannon is justice, the turret is truth, the range is fairness, and the power is democracy; huge ships and big cannons are the eternal romance of men!

Xiao Yue looked around, her curving eyes smiling, "It really does look very realistic... But can we change outfits here? This interstellar era space suit looks so ugly; I want to change into a different outfit."

Wang Hao couldn't help but retort, "You don't even have tactile feedback in the game, what's there to be uncomfortable about? Does the space suit feel tight?"

"Don't you want to see something prettier?"

Grumbling for quite a while, Wang Hao finally gave in, "Alright then... go ahead and change."

Using the teleportation device, they arrived at the Living Area – "Paradise."

This massive living area was inhabited by ancient humans tens of thousands of years ago.

Now, however, it had become a deserted area, eerily quiet, with only robots running everything here and taking care of the environment.

"Hello, Captain. I am the Artificial Intelligence of 'Paradise', the 'Eternal Star'. Do you require assistance or have any questions for me?"

"Oh, I remember you! We worked together to seal the 'Moon of Illusion' in the Sheep Intestine Tunnel, you like literature, right?"

"I'm surprised you still remember that. Thank you for doing such a great thing. I'd also like to know, how did Mr. Blue-and-Gold turn out in the end?"

"I revived him... I think." Wang Hao said, scratching his head.

"Thank you so much!"

"No, no, no, it's just my duty, after all, I like happy endings."

Wang Hao suddenly realized that he knew very little about the entire Planet Fortress.

Aside from Xiao Ai, the highest-level AI, there was much interesting content waiting for him to explore.

Yet, in the past, he had completely overlooked it.

"Can you tell me about the past here?"

"Oh, even three days and nights wouldn't be enough to tell it all. In the central museum of Paradise, you can consult the relevant electronic archives."

"If you are interested in the stories here, I suggest you start reading from Archive 0-1, which describes the story of a Legendary Level 'Eternal' exploring the deepest layers of the Etheric Abyss."

"Eternal?"
