Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 530 Creating The Game

"Let me see it."

The crystal felt warm to the touch. It also felt like it was beating, like it was alive.

But Alex was clear that there was no life energy coming from it.

A thought then came to his mind.

'This looks like nuclear fission but utilizes qi and some other kind of material.'

Alex wanted to research it, but he knew it was very dangerous.

If he tried to split it apart, the stable energy would probably trigger a huge explosion that caused a chain reaction.

"What do you use it for?"

"Right now, it's just part of my collection.

I'm sure you can also tell the energy inside is very volatile.

I had heard someone use it as a weapon before, but the result was a huge explosion that killed everyone in the vicinity.

Not even immortals were spared.

If you're interested, I can tell you the location of this forbidden zone.

You should be able to check for yourself whether it was caused by this or something else.

I do suggest you don't go there, though, since no one has returned from that spot."

'A radiation strong enough to even kill immortals?'

Alex had already marked this spot as a place he needed to visit.

A strong weapon, good enough for him to use to fight against those stronger, was something he would not miss out on.

Even though Kageyasha didn't explicitly say immortals were killed just by going into the region, it was already clear to Alex that no immortals survived it.

Otherwise, there was no way they still didn't know what was going on.

"This should be more than enough. You should keep an eye on your daughter for now and bring Kurone here.

If you have more people you can trust, it will be better."

"What for?"

"They can act as her friends, uncles, or aunts. The more people, the better it will be for her development.

But in case you cannot bring them, I could make them up."

Although it's not the best, Alex could use AI code from his world, the same used for NPCs in games he liked to play.

He didn't plan to make everything from scratch.

Alex would copy it from games he used to love before to the point where he had invested some money in the company.

He used his pocket money, so even his mom didn't know about this.

The game had an apocalyptic setting, fusing medieval and sci-fi tropes.

The sci-fi weapons were treated as some kind of artifact.

While the survivors were living underground.

It was also one of the first VR games with an immersive experience.

Making it his favorite game of all time.

With the amount of money and time he had spent, Alex remembered almost every detail of the world.

'The world was separated into two: the surface, filled with monsters, and the underground, with many cities, towns, and politics.

Since the goal is for her to mature, she will need many stimuli, some kind of pressure, and a bit of trauma.'

Alex planned to give her a few years of peace, then start with conflict.

He gave the Origin qi crystal to Mingyue since she wanted to check on it while taking out his own high-grade qi crystal.

He preferred using this rather than the Origin crystal.

Who knew if he would be able to get his hands on it again.

This also made Alex wonder if a similar grade of many crystals existed.

Probably, it did, but it was located somewhere else.

Alex's fingers danced in the air. The pure qi crystals were forged together, turning into a cube.

He then started carving the complicated formation.

His first step was to create a world that could keep and maintain a soul.

A soul without a body carried many risks, from corruption to dissipation.

To avoid this, he would need to constantly pour life force into it.

It couldn't be too much or too little to avoid complications.

Afterward, the formation must also force the soul into slumber.

This was to make sure they couldn't interact with the real formation.

Alex had thought about creating a whole world carved with formations that allowed souls to directly interact there, but after some thought, he realized this would cost too many resources.

There was also the risk since the soul could directly access the formation.

That was when Alex chose another method.

Creating something akin to a virtual world, making it seem like they were just lucid dreaming.

This also gave Alex more control, as he could change how fast time passed in the area.

Since they existed only as souls, as long as the formation was created perfectly, there would be very few side effects, even if he made it one hundred times faster than the real world.

Alex could choose to only create the world for Kurosora to use, but he didn't want to do this.

It would make the time spent creating it faster, but afterward, it would become useless.

Alex wanted to make one that would serve as the foundation for his future game.

Looking at his excited face, Mingyue smiled.

She could see Alex was excited and now completely absorbed in his own work.

Mingyue turned her attention toward the crystal in her hand.

She then closed her eyes and felt the qi fluctuation coming from the crystal.

'The fluctuation is very slow and peaceful. It doesn't feel like the raging water qi usually has.'

If normal qi was like raging waves, then Origin qi crystal was like a serene sea.

It was calm, with occasional waves crashing down.

Mingyue didn't have the same understanding as Alex, but even she could tell that if she tried to pull Qi from inside, it would turn the serene sea into a raging one.

The equilibrium would be broken, causing catastrophic results.

But this didn't mean she couldn't do anything.

Mingyue tried to mimic the Origin qi's movement, making her qi as calm as possible without reducing its effectiveness.

She felt this was a way for her to gain another breakthrough.
