"All right, I get it."
Soon after, Zachary recalled something and said, "Wait a minute! Because of a severe past injury, I assumed that this body, in which my soul is present would be unable to cultivate in any way. So, how did it acquire the ability of double martial speed?"
Zachary knew he had been gravely injured because of the original soul's memories. Therefore, in that state, he could not reach the original martial speed.
"It's true that Zachary Zi of the Supernal Continent lost his double martial speed after being injured as a result of the torment he endured, but that doesn't mean he can't recover!" Mimi responded.
"Are you suggesting there's a solution, Mimi?" Zachary cocked his head, wondering whether the owner of the body would take it from him if he learned that he could regain his martial speed.
"If you activate the second world, you will receive a Refreshing Pill. This will assist you in rebuilding your physique "Mimi replied.
"So, what am I waiting for? Please assist me in activating it right now!" Zachary responded quickly.
"Loading... The second world would be activated soon! A little reminder: When you enter the second world, you may feel unstable. Please don't be scared. That's what happens..." Mimi's tone was lighthearted, as if she was half-joking, even yet she sounded serious.
Zachary felt as though his surroundings had altered swiftly after his chat with Mimi, and everything around him was hazy. Soon after, he felt himself being lifted by a magical power, and he was ascending into the sky. He felt like he was plummeting into an abyss the next second. After that, Zachary blacked out.
A man could be seen beside a clean water pond. His forehead rested on the uneven rock's surface, but his hips were hoisted high above it and not in contact with it at all. He presented the sight of a lover in the process of love-making to passersby who would stop to look at him or peek from afar. Contrary to perceptions, his entire body began to shake after a period of time, with his hips moving first.
Bang!
The body collapsed and lay prone on the ground.
"Ahem!" When Zachary regained consciousness, he discovered mud in his mouth. He realized that he was no longer in the previous three-dimensional virtual realm when he opened his eyes. Looking around, he noticed he was surrounded by peach trees. Their scent lingered in the air. Birds of paradise chirped and dashed from tree to tree, leaving a blaze of color behind them as their thick canopies blanketed the undergrowth. 'Am I in heaven?' Zachary wondered aloud.
"This is..." Zachary was taken aback by what he witnessed. Everything appeared to be genuine, yet he was well aware that he was not in the real world.
He heard Mimi speak once again, "The Treasure-Hunting System has established a second universe to aid adventurers in their quest for treasure. The Peach Blossom Forest is where you are. This is where novices look for hidden riches. Other scenarios will appear as your skill level rises and your experience as a fighter grows. Remember that each scenario's map has a purpose and will help you progress in your treasure-hunting adventure. Pay close attention because what I'm about to say is critical. On a one-to-one basis, the amount of time you spend in this realm will convert to the actual world. That is to say, if you cultivate here for a day, one day will pass in the real world as well. And the effect will be the same.
In addition, the system will beset you with a variety of treasure-hunting quests. You will be awarded with treasures if you complete them, and these treasures will immediately translate to wealth on the Supernal Continent. Pills, cultivation methods, armor, weaponry, and other valuables will be among the benefits you earn. In your treasure-hunting adventures, the tasks you perform and the wealth you collect in the second world will provide you an advantage. Furthermore, the second-world valuables can be utilized in the actual world. Similarly, you may apply what you've learned in the actual world to the virtual environment..." Mimi went on to clarify further.
'If this Treasure-hunting System can create a second world that is so close to the actual world, then it is indeed extremely powerful,' Zachary thought to himself as he listened carefully.
"Furthermore, this Treasure-Hunting System offers a beauty collecting mode where you may meet a variety of gorgeous women. It was created with the express intention of preventing treasure hunters from feeling lonely. You'll meet a variety of ladies as you accomplish quests: innocent, aloof, domineering, etc. Even legendary and fictional female characters from novels and fictions. After you've completed a few special missions, you'll be able to teach them to become the individuals you want them to be. You might even be able to transport them back to the actual world!" Mimi squealed with delight.
"Wow, what an incredible Treasure-Hunting System. It even has the beauty collection mode!" Being a man, Zachary could not help getting excited. 'I'll be the happiest guy in the world if I can bring home the beauty that only exists in novels and imagination!' he exclaimed inwardly.
"I'm going to play the role of Casanova! I'm looking forward to having a good time with the gals!" Zachary remarked.
"Here's a friendly reminder. Because the second world is the same as the actual world, your death here will be transmitted to the real world as well "Mimi added.
Zachary's skin broke out in goosebumps almost immediately.
"Only the novice quests are accessible to you because you are not yet a warrior. You will earn a beginner's prize for each novice mission that you successfully complete. You will receive a special prize if you can accomplish all of the novice tasks and become a fighter in the first grade of Mortal Level!" "Once you accomplish your first mission, you will receive a Refreshing Pill, which will help you regain your double martial speed," Mimi said after a little pause.
"Will the quests offered to newcomers be dangerous?" Zachary inquired, a little hesitantly.
"There's nothing to be concerned about. There is no risk involved with the beginner quests "Mimi comforted Zachary, understanding his initial fear.
Zachary reasoned that since Mimi was so positive, it should be okay to begin his treasure-hunting adventure. He asked, nodding his head, "What's the hold-up? Let's get started!"
"Newbie quest mode on! The first quest..." A massive ten-foot-high wooden door emerged in front of Zachary as Mimi was declaring the start of the quest.
He pushed the door open and strolled into the corridor. As soon as he stepped inside the door, a bright white light erupted from within, fully engulfing him.
