Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch-Chapter 554 - 530: Module Creation Permission
Chapter 554: Chapter 530: Module Creation Permission
Wu Di justified his reckless behavior in Chang’an City under the pretense of “testing skills”.
Any immoral act that he could think of and was allowed by the system, he basically had done them all.
Unfortunately, his mentor, Master Han Jing, had never given him a weapon.
Despite the fact that the people of the Tang Dynasty were allowed to carry weapons at will, Han Jing insisted that “weapons should not be given lightly”, and only after completing the entire training of the “Assassin’s Way”, one would be qualified to use the assassin’s weapon.
This greatly limited Wu Di, preventing the ideas in his mind from being put into action.
Like kidnapping the bathing beauty he saw that day and making her his wife.
Of course, this also demonstrates from another perspective that “weapons should not be given lightly” is indeed a very necessary principle…
If Han Jing knew about the things Wu Di had done these days, he would not just refuse to give him a sword, instead, he might even kill him in order to maintain the family honor.
In short these “skill tests” made Wu Di very happy, and he also realized that these “skills” are very powerful!
This is why, he has no complaints despite having been unable to step into the “Assassin’s Way” for so long.
One reason is that, these skills are already powerful, and he could feel his advancement every day.
On the other hand, if these fragmented skills are already so powerful, then the “Assassin’s Way” that integrates these skills must be even more formidable!
Isn’t it a matter of course that it’s hard to get something formidable?
As an NPC, Han Jing would not be able to hear Wu Di’s inner thoughts or anything related to the “outside game content”, and he could only hear “not enough time” and “the entry-level training is too hard”.
This obviously upset him: “The Path of an Assassin is not easy, but it’s also not as hard as sky-reaching. How can you easily give up?”
“As for time, your progress is already a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so you should cherish it!”
“I want to too…” Wu Di replied helplessly, “But I really can’t stay any longer.”
Seeing his helpless expression, Han Jing hesitated for a while, then still handed over a short sword: “This is the sword I used before. Take it for protection. Remember, this doesn’t mean that you have completed your apprenticeship. The sword for graduation is another one.”
Wu Di, who had always wanted a weapon, did not take it this time.
His “New World Travel Ticket” will expire soon, and everything on him will be deleted and cleared.
“No need, it will waste your kindness.”
However, Han Jing directly thrust the sheathed sword into his hand, saying: “Take it, remember, you have not graduated! When you come back, find me to complete the remaining training.”
“The ‘Assassin’s Way’ requires you to keep moving forward and not to give up halfway since you decided to set foot on this path!”
Wu Di looked at the short sword in his hand, thought for a while and finally accepted it: “Okay, I will come back!”
“So Master, should I go now? Before I leave, I want to take another look at Chang’an.”
“Go ahead, go ahead.” Han Jing waved his hand, generously seeing Wu Di off.
…
…
Subsequently, Wu Di followed his original plan, went to the Chief Abbot’s Temple at Yongyang Square in the southwest corner of Chang’an City, and climbed up the Meditation Temple Tower step by step.
After reaching the highest 8th layer, he didn’t stop. He took out a rope and a grapple, and tried to climb to the top of the eaves.
After dying twice from falling from about 80 meters high, he finally successfully climbed to the top of the eaves and overlooked the whole Chang’an City with the tall gold tower as his support.
As the countdown approached the end, he took out the short sword given by his master, drew it out and held it in his hand.
It looked common and plain at the first glance, with no particular patterns. Only near the guard of the sword, two words were engraved – “White rainbow”.
Looking at the setting sun sinking into the ground, Wu Di suddenly had an idea. He sheathed his sword, turned around, tiptoed, and placed the sword at the highest point of the tower.
Then he smiled, watching the countdown return to zero.
The entire world plunged into darkness as the sunset fell.
The journey to the New World, has ended.

Lincoln did not make an appearance the whole day on Tuesday.
Not just out of adherence to the principle of “invisibility to avoid disputes”, but also because he was genuinely busy. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
His mind had been entirely focused on the game “Battlefield”, and completely put the matter of the exoskeleton on the back burner, resulting in a crunch time to get work done only when things came to a head.
Even after pulling out the exoskeleton he already had and improving on it to fulfill Henry’s requirements, it still took a whole day.
It wasn’t until the evening when Henry arrived with the researchers and civilian military personnel that Lincoln had just barely finished this piece of work in time.
When Henry entered the laboratory, he happened to see Lincoln take off his gloves, disconnect the power supply, and calmly said as if nothing had happened: “You’re here? Take a look, I’ve met all your requirements.”
Henry looked doubtfully at Lincoln, “Surely, you didn’t start researching after I called you that day, did you?”
“Of course not!” Lincoln rebutted immediately, “How could I have settled such a complex technology in a day?!”
“But you look like you haven’t slept a wink in a day and a night…”
“I stayed up watching live streaming videos!” Lincoln stubbornly refuted, refusing to admit, “Come take a look at your exoskeleton. By the way, who’s the researcher? Let me tell you how I resolved several difficult issues.”
Henry had originally not wanted to say more, after all, Lincoln had already sorted out the technology. Whether it took 15 days or just 1 day, did it matter?
Even if he really took only one day and one night, that’s all the more reason to indulge him!
However, Henry still couldn’t resist bringing up one issue: “You previously agreed to work on the ‘silent communication’ technology, I’ve never urged you about it before, surely you… haven’t started researching it yet?”
“What are you talking about! I’ve already started! Even mobilized millions of players and hundreds of volunteers! The Rehabilitation Plan!”
“Oh, alright, that’s good.” As Henry was reassured, he tagged along with the other researchers and listened to Lincoln explaining the key to the exoskeleton technology he completed.
…
…
Three and a half hours later, Henry finally led the team he brought with him to leave Lincoln’s quarantine lab, and carried away an exoskeleton.
The two units they had sent over before were left behind for Lincoln to play with.
However, Lincoln had no mood to play with it, yawning continuously he went upstairs to his room, went through his grooming routine, and laid down to sleep immediately.
Before falling asleep, he subconsciously asked, “Mavis, I didn’t miss anything today, did I?”
He was fully focused on the exoskeleton today, specifically instructing Mavis: anything not of extreme importance, no need to specifically remind me, we can deal with it a day later.
“There is!” Mavis immediately replied, “Master forgot two things.”
“What?” Lincoln forced his eyes open again, “What did I forget?”
“The first thing! Master initially planned to log into Virtual Chang’an today to practice martial skills and chat with Wu Di, but he forgot, now Wu Di can’t get into Virtual Chang’an.”
“Ah, Right….” Lincoln regretted slightly, “That’s not just practicing martial skills and chatting, that’s also investigating player satisfaction. It’s work content! It’s a pity, but it doesn’t matter, it’s not a big issue. What else?”
“Master previously mentioned that at the right time, he would announce the additional rewards for the Ender Dragon first completion battle. Mavis feels that now is the time!”
“Why?” Lincoln asked, confused.
“Because there are many, many teams around the world that are currently fighting fiercely, countless players are also watching this fight, the timing is great! And the most important thing is: by the time Master wakes up tomorrow, the battle may be over!”
“Ah? They’re progressing that quickly?” Lincoln was quite surprised, he had set the difficulty so high, were there people who could break through in two days?
“The fastest team has already brought it down to 10% health, super strong!”
“Alright, you’re right, can you help me post an announcement, Mavis?” Lincoln was barely keeping his eyes open.
“No problem! The top 10 teams will unlock module creation permissions ahead of time, right?” Mavis continued to be reliable as ever.
“You can rest now, Master. Leave this to Mavis!”
