"Oh, you returned, brat," MingYue said.
MingHao looked at his sister''s face, then asked, "Are you thinking about a man, sis?
Do I have a brother-in-law?"
His question made MingYue''s cheeks turn red, "What are you saying, brat?
Don''t say something like that again.
Here, catch, this is for you."
MingYue threw the storage ring, where Vesa had sealed the Xueqi ancestor.
MingHao caught it easily, but he looked at his sister with widened eyes, ''Did she just blush?
My cold-hearted sister???''
He asked in his mind, but MingHao didn''t dare to talk further about this topic.
MingYue could guess what MingHao was thinking, but she didn''t want to talk about it.
"Come here, sit, tell me what happened in detail."
MingHao walked in a daze and then started telling his story to MingYue.
Even though she had already known what had happened, she wanted to know everything in more detail—what her parents had said to him and how they had acted before it all happened.
She wanted to try to understand what was running through their minds when they chose to leave their own kids.
Meanwhile, after the talk with MingYue, Alex had already made some plans for what he could do with the goblin kids, but he lacked the tools and equipment to do it at his home.
Having some free time, Alex returned to his hobby, reading novels.
But this time, he wanted to try it with an app he had just created.
It was something he had made as a side project from the Awe system.
Using Vesa''s help, he had translated how it worked in modifying the environment inside the Awe Cube into computer code.
He then linked it with AI, which he named the Novel Realistic Visualization Project.
By inputting a novel chapter into the app, it would process it and recreate the scene in VR, allowing him to watch what was happening like a VR movie.
After achieving this, Alex wondered why such an app had never existed in the market.
He then realized the only reason he had achieved this easily was Vesa''s help.
It wasn''t impossible to do, but significant investment would be required to develop AI.
However, the biggest problem was if it succeeded, it would eliminate many jobs and industries.
Who would bother watching a movie if they could just copy a story online and put it there?
It would be the same with anime, manga, and VR.
The reason novels still succeeded to this day, even with anime, movies, and VR, was because they allowed those who read them to recreate the scene using their own imagination, and everyone had a different take on it.
However, anime, movies, and other media took all of it away, turning the imagination into something tangible, but often, it wasn''t the same as the reader''s expectation.
Thankfully, in Alex''s world, there were solutions for this. With the Erx chip, which could accept people''s thoughts as input, this problem was solved.
It would take both the scene and the reader''s imagination, then recreate everything in VR, allowing senses of touch and everything—the wet dream of all novel readers.
Or at least, it was like that for Alex; he felt very excited about his creation.
This, in his opinion, was the ultimate entertainment system.
Even compared to VR, where people could do everything they wanted, most people when given complete freedom, became blank on what to do or choose.
However, using the NRV combined both the freedom of imagination and direction from the scene by the author. sea??h thё N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The user only needed to turn off their brain and enjoy everything.
Not only that, with AI like Vesa, they could even remake everything into a game, inserting themselves into the story.
There were almost no limitations on what they could do.
His creation could easily turn the industry upside down and earn him tons of money, but it didn''t necessarily mean it was a good idea.
This money would come from dominating the entertainment market, making all the other giants lose their share.
This would then incite conflict even worse than his family''s rise to the one percent of the richest people on the planet.
So, Alex decided to use it only for his personal use.
He also didn''t plan to introduce it to the Bai Yue sect, as he was worried this would make them addicted and choose to live in the imagined VR world forever.
But his creation had a big downside; since it recreated the scene, it would take time to enjoy it, far longer than just reading a novel chapter.
Alex then chose a specific chapter with a good scene.
But he didn''t choose one with an epic fight; his mood wasn''t that good after his talk with MingYue.
Instead, he chose a bittersweet scene.
In this scene, the MC succeeds in his life''s goal: he beats the main villain and finally becomes a god, gaining the ability to resurrect everyone dear to him.
But it turned out that even that ability was not enough; he needed to choose between his parents and loved ones.
Caught in a dilemma, the protagonist finally decides to choose the most important thing for him.
He burned his whole cultivation, resurrecting both his parents and lover.
Seeing all of it in an immersive virtual environment made Alex''s mood turn even more somber because he knew this scene was not the ending.
Alex didn''t know if the author just wanted to prolong the story or really had that plan in mind.
The next plot got a lot of hate from the readers, who had thought after reading 1000+ chapters that the story had ended.
But it still continued, writing how the MC, in the end, died and left his family alone because he had sacrificed his cultivation.
His lifespan became short, making him leave everyone first.
The author then continued to write how the rest of his family lived in agony afterward.
"It''s weird.
I learn many more things from novels than from school," he mumbled.
