Chapter 15 - 13: Tremendous Changes in the Present World

The "Spirit Realm Gate" in the phone has been closed.Hang Yu estimated it would open again in three days.

Besides that, an icon called "Spirit Realm Assistant" had been added to the phone.

The "Spirit Realm Assistant" allows you to view your status information and storage space, displaying clearly the hundreds of fruits collected, Goblin Warrior Summoning Scroll, Long Blade, and Leather Armor.

All Spirit Realm materials, equipment, abilities, and skills can be taken out into the real world.

However, bringing Spirit Realm items back to the real world has a cost.

The higher the item’s level, the greater the cost.

A level 1 dark gray piece of junk equipment requires consuming one gray Crystal Stone to bring it from the Spirit Realm to the real world, which is already the lowest cost.

As for items even lower than level 1 dark gray equipment, they can be brought out from the Spirit Realm for free, like the goblin berries in the backpack, seemingly free for taking without extra cost.

Hang Yu tried it immediately.

His left hand suddenly felt heavier.

A red berry abruptly appeared in the palm, its color bright and juicy, exuding a faint fragrance, both quality and texture were perfect and real.

"This is truly amazing!"

"Things from the mobile game can actually be taken out!"

"This world seems to be going completely crazy!"

The appearance of the red berry was so bizarre, like inserting a frame abruptly into a linear and continuous universe, making it difficult to understand how it happened.

Even with mental preparation.

He was still deeply shocked.

This kind of power that transcends the limits of human understanding is brutally and mercilessly rubbing the so-called law of mass conservation into the ground.

Take out the fruit, put back the fruit.

Take out the fruit, put back the fruit.

Hang Yu repeated these actions a few times, finding it quite interesting, he tried to put a notebook inside but got no response, apparently, the Spirit Realm Assistant can only store items that belong to the Spirit Realm.

Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!

Hang Yu had no time to continue.

Suddenly, an unprecedented intense hunger overwhelmed him, like a handful of worms slowly and continuously gnawing away at his insides, every cell in his body was signaling a strong feeling of hunger.

What’s going on?

Could it be that the consumption in the Spirit Realm was too great?

He opened the Spirit Realm Assistant to check personal information; besides basic data, there was now an additional status.

[Mild Weakness]: The Trial Taker is in a state of mild weakness, with all attributes forcibly reduced by 30%.

Damn, how can an empty stomach reduce attributes?

Hang Yu searched his memory, and indeed that was the case.

Weakness states are divided into mild weakness, moderate weakness, and severe weakness, with attribute reductions of 30%, 60%, and 90% respectively.

As for the causes of weakness?

They’re generally hunger and fatigue!

Hang Yu felt extremely hungry now, feeling his body was hollowed out, with an illusion of being able to eat a whole cow in one breath, he quickly boiled water and made three buckets of Kangshuaifu Old Vinegar Beef Noodles, eating instant noodles while browsing his phone.

Without a doubt!

In the past few hours.

The whole of humanity has experienced the most incomprehensible, dramatic, and thrilling event ever recorded.

Now, information online has already exploded everywhere.

This time, the relevant departments were also baffled, only able to call for the public to remain calm, while chaotic information, speculation, and news continued to appear online... The worldviews of all humanity were evidently in a state of post-disaster reconstruction!

The college class chat group was abuzz with lively discussion.

"Let me tell you a terrifying piece of news! I just traversed!" one classmate said: "You definitely won’t believe what I went through!"

Another classmate hurried to say: "Damn, it’s true, I freaking traversed too!"

"I just got bitten to death by beasts three times, it was freaking terrifying."

A female classmate further shared: "Not only did I get bitten to death by wolves, but I also got violated by a wild boar, I can’t believe my chastity would be taken by a wild boar! Isn’t this a dream?"

"Heh, that’s nothing, I encountered something even more terrifying!"

"How come we’re crossing over simultaneously? What’s going on here?"

"Who has relevant information? What on earth has happened to this world?"

"It’s terrifying, what should we do now!"

...

Everyone had a terrible time in the Spirit Realm!

That being said, everyone’s spirit had been enhanced, and even facing terrifying experiences, they weren’t driven to a breakdown, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been in the mood to chat and gripe in the group.

When most people were wondering if they were dreaming.

Someone immediately noticed brand new changes.

"Big discovery! Big discovery!"

"The superpower I acquired through crossing worlds can still be used!"

"I just tried, it’s true, I found out I can spray water."

"Really, really, I can transform, I can transform!"

"Incredible, have we suddenly gained superpowers overnight? Is it the world that’s gone crazy, or have I already lost my mind?"

"Hello everyone, I’m the Tang Monk, actually, I’m still alive. Transfer me 2000 yuan, I need a circumcision, and I’ll let you eat the foreskin so you can live forever. Don’t ask why the price is so low, there are no middlemen making a profit."

"Damn, Pang Dahai, you bastard, at this time you’re still in the mood to joke around."

"..."

Everyone’s adaptability is different.

Aside from a few jokers who fear the world isn’t in chaos enough, the vast majority of classmates are in a state of either panic or excitement.

Don’t even mention them, I’m afraid the military high command, as well as governments worldwide, are in a state of bewilderment, as such changes exceed the limits of national and societal imagination.

One thing is certain now, enhancements, abilities, and items acquired from the Spirit Realm can be brought back to the present world!

Superhumans running everywhere, superpower users as numerous as dogs.

This will be the scene we will see in the not-too-distant future.

Ordinary humans suddenly obtaining so many abilities, what will society become?

It’s hard to say!

Of course, for now, people’s abilities are still weak, and their mindset remains in the past. The state machinery should still be barely functioning, and order will continue for a while due to inertia.

What will the future be like? Who knows!

However, Hang Yu knows very well that to survive in the future world, one must have enough strength!

The group chat information continues to refresh rapidly.

The topic has shifted to innate skills. Everyone’s acquired abilities differ. Some are offensive, some defensive, some support, and some production. There’s a variety.

Slurp!

The last mouthful of instant noodles with pickled mustard greens was swallowed down.

Hang Yu patted his full belly: Strange, after eating three buckets of instant noodles, I still feel a sense of wanting more. When did my appetite become so exaggerated? This darn near ends up in the direction of a food bucket!

Even stranger.

The stomach was full.

The feeling of hunger disappeared.

His body still felt uncomfortable, and the sense of weakness remained unresolved.

What’s going on?

Hang Yu thought for a moment.

He immediately took a red berry from the Spirit Realm and ate it.

When the "goblin’s red fruit" entered the stomach, it felt like having twenty Red Bulls and ten shots of stimulants. The original sense of weakness disappeared, and from head to toe, he felt energized.

It turns out it was because ordinary food couldn’t meet the needs.

No choice indeed.

From the moment he entered the Spirit Realm,

His body was enhanced by the laws of the Spirit Realm, and now has already risen to Level 2, with various functions beginning to break through the shackles of mortal flesh. Because the body was greatly enhanced, the energy demand significantly increased.

Although these ordinary foods can fill the stomach, they cannot meet the body’s requirements, so the state of weakness cannot be relieved.

Although berries are low-level Spirit Realm food.

However, Spirit Realm food contains Spiritual Energy, so it can replenish the body and relieve the state of weakness. But just being Level 2 is like this; won’t higher levels put even higher demands on food?

Earth-grown food cannot meet the needs of billions, so people must find ways to obtain Spirit Realm ingredients, and a huge market will open up.

Food is undoubtedly a necessity among necessities.

The future new type of catering industry is clearly one of the most promising industries!

After all, if you can’t replenish enough energy through food, you’ll always be in a weakened state like kidney deficiency, with greatly reduced attributes. Not to mention going to the Spirit Realm to grind monsters or get equipment, survival in the present world would be difficult!

Hang Yu thought of this and dialed a number.

His college roommate and close friend Pang Dahai, he happens to be in Jiang City, and the place he’s staying isn’t far from here. The Tang Monk joke in the group was sent by him.

"Hang, why are you suddenly contacting me?" A rough male voice came from the phone, "You should know by now, our world is gonna be turned upside down!"

Hang Yu didn’t call to discuss such topics: "Pang Dahai, you just mentioned in the group you have a [Blessing of the Kitchen God] innate skill?"

"Don’t mention it, it’s frustrating to talk about. Several classmates in the class have gained impressive superpowers, even the less impressive ones are useful, while my lame skill is completely useless!"

Hang Yu said, "It’s hard to explain over the phone, can you come out now? Let’s meet up!"

Pang Dahai didn’t hesitate.

The two agreed to meet at Green Leaf Square.

Before hanging up, Hang Yu reminded, "Be careful on the way. There’s a lot of changes outside now, it’s best to bring something for self-defense."

Though he had anticipated it.

But upon stepping out of the apartment building.

Hang Yu was still stunned by the changes outside.

Is this really the Jiang City he’s lived in for nearly five years?
