I Don't Agree to the Terms

"With a penetration rate of ninety-eight percent, this time it's secured."

In just a year, the high-end Jile package from Jile Technology has already covered ninety-eight percent of the Navia Empire's population.

On one hand, it's due to publicity; on the other hand, it's naturally because of the deliberate suppression by Jile Technology.

If you don't have the corresponding qualification, there's nowhere to work.

As for making money in "Life," it also requires a sufficient level of the Jile package. After several updates, the basic and intermediate levels of the Jile package are no longer adequate for making a living, not even for subsistence, compelling everyone to undergo modification.

The Navia Empire also discovered the threat and started to intervene, ordering Jile Technology to stop releasing the high-end Jile package.

The result was that Jile Technology didn't even get angry; instead, ordinary people opposed this.

Stopping it is certainly possible, but the issue is it will lead to them not being able to survive or find work.

Currently, even the least important jobs require someone with a high-end Jile package; nobody wants ordinary people or those with basic or intermediate levels, as there's no way to make money in gaming, unlike those with high-end Jile packages who can survive just by basking in the sun.

So naturally, when the stop order was issued, it caused great public outrage.

Of course, Jile Technology also directly started wrangling with the Imperial Council, procrastinating with you for three days, me for three days, and again for another three days, and with lots of money paving the way, this matter came to nothing.

The main reason is that the members of parliament received benefits and enjoyed the profits and political achievements after the large-scale spread of Jile modification, making them aware that while this way poses risks, the ones bearing the risks are certainly those modified, which has nothing to do with them.

They were even happy to make acquaintances, secretly helping to push the trend, directly spreading it into the violent institutions of the empire; otherwise, how could it have spread so widely?

As for the remaining two percent, they consist of parliament members and a portion of the wealthy and diehards. They either plan to rely on cancer universe immortality or are wealthy themselves, indifferent to missing out on this for now, just waiting to see what turns up, and there's no way for such people to undergo modification even if they wanted to.

"In another three months, we'll be able to launch the Ascension package, and by then, the Digital Life Plan will be successful."

Gu Shanhai felt the increase in power; there are indeed benefits to this. Initially, with little, there was hardly any sensation.

But ever since the introduction of the instance mode, along with sensory adjustment during death and implicit brainwashing, players have tirelessly raided instances and experienced deaths day in and day out, amplifying Gu Shanhai's efficiency in acquiring Secondary Ghost Energy Aura and Secondary Spiritual Energy Aura by nearly millions of times.

Previously, without instance deaths, generally speaking, players wouldn't die even once a month, as it's tough to die with the Smart Brain System's assistance.

But now it's different; with higher instance difficulty and pleasurable death feelings, anyone who experiences it knows.

Gu Shanhai didn't truly set the difficulty to be insurmountable; instead, he subtlety set up secret paths, like arranging a passing opportunity for players after dying about ten consecutive times, using this as bait.

Of course, the rewards for clearing are quite plentiful, coupled with special senses during death, using this to keep players continuously addicted, treating them truly like chives.

"But come to think of it, why has there been no movement from Emperor Navia?"

Gu Shanhai was a bit puzzled; the other party must already know what he has been doing, and under normal circumstances, they wouldn't allow him to do so.

Yet surprisingly, apart from the council ordering him to stop, there was no reaction, and the Royal Family didn't intervene either.

"Could it be they've found something in the cancer universe?"

Gu Shanhai suspected that Emperor Navia is very likely no longer in the Imperial Palace but has gone to the cancer universe.

Strange occurrences often imply hidden anomalies.

"If push comes to shove, maybe I should investigate." Gu Shanhai narrowed his eyes.

"But it's not that easy to meet Emperor Navia."

The last time was due to an incident at the research institute, thereby coincidentally getting a chance to meet; otherwise, even the Imperial Prime Minister finds it challenging to meet Emperor Navia, usually meeting with the two rival Crown Princes.

Gu Shanhai never considered personally entering the Imperial Palace to investigate; he merely wanted an answer.

So, slightly influencing the Prime Minister to have him investigate, why should he do it himself?

The Imperial Prime Minister is just an ordinary person without any abilities. After being influenced, he entered the Imperial Palace to consult with Emperor Navia in the afternoon.

He was still received by the two Crown Princes.

And Gu Shanhai used the Prime Minister's vision to investigate the entire Imperial Palace.

"The Ghost Energy Aura decreased by about ten points."

"Indeed, Emperor Navia is not in the Imperial Palace!"

Although Gu Shanhai hadn't seen the evidence yet, comparing the data, for the total Ghost Energy Aura to drop by ten points, at least this means Emperor Navia has been absent from here for about a year.

"Looks like he's found a way to balance Ghost Energy and Spiritual Energy, hence heading to the cancer universe to seek further possibilities." Gu Shanhai instantly understood the cause and effect.

One year's time perfectly aligns with when he introduced the high-end Jile package, otherwise why there would be no response or even letting him promote like this.

He very possibly left covertly without anyone knowing when he went to the cancer universe.
