There was a line that appeared in the Cathaysia Legends or some martial arts novels: A swordsman reached a bottleneck and was unable to break through despite how hard he practiced. However, he came to a sudden realization in the middle of a remote and turbulent forest and became a peerless expert.
Lin Jie used a sword and could be considered half a swordsman as well. However, the concept of 'realization' was not accepted in the game. Players could only gather skills and techniques, but these were not considered 'apperception' in the game. The New Age was the only holographic game in the entire world. However, it was impossible to integrate such an abstract concept despite how realistic the game may be.
