Chapter 1719: Chapter 437: The Truth of Reality?

After uploading the data, Xie Yu did not continue his cultivation.

He sat by the window, gazing at the deep night outside, his thoughts in turmoil.

He wondered if the report he uploaded would, like a giant stone thrown into a pond, stir up waves in the real world.

After all, if the cultivation techniques in the game can be validated in reality, it’s enough to overturn current understanding.

It would also prompt the leadership of all races to redefine the game Monster World.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

Looking down, he found it was a call from an unknown number.

In a moment of contemplation, Xie Yu took a deep breath and chose to answer.

Immediately, interwoven light and shadows projected down from the ceiling, quickly forming a holographic image in front of him.

The caller was a man who appeared to be about forty, with a resolute face, distinct facial lines, a tightly set jaw, and an air of toughness about him.

He wore a dark uniform with no insignia, sitting upright, his sharp gaze penetrating the virtual projection, focusing on Xie Yu.

"Xie Yu, formerly of the Antarctic monitoring station, retired at 35, we’re somewhat colleagues." The caller immediately stated Xie Yu’s background, then introduced himself before Xie Yu could respond:

"My name is Duan Hong, from the Deep Space Observation department."

"Deep Space Observation?" Xie Yu silently repeated the name to himself.

He had never heard of this department, but he was sure that the call was related to the data he uploaded.

"Hello." He decisively nodded in response.

"We have received your submitted report." Duan Hong wasted no words, getting straight to the point:

"It concerns the Information Stone you unexpectedly acquired in Monster World, the related civilization history, and the validation data of that Body Refining Method in the real world."

Xie Yu nodded, expecting the other party to have questions about it, preparing to explain his theories in detail.

But Duan Hong raised his hand slightly, interrupting what Xie Yu was about to say.

His serious face showed a meaningful smile:

"Mr. Xie Yu, you have done well, your observations are sharp, and your actions decisive. We thank you for your efforts on behalf of the Human Clan Federation." He paused, then continued with a smile:

"However, much of the content in your report and your subsequent speculations are things we’ve already studied."

"You’ve discovered it too?"

Seeing the undisguised shock on Xie Yu’s face, he nodded and added:

"Even before Monster World went online, Deep Space Observation had already been established. Our core mission is to closely monitor the operation of Monster World and assess its impact. For this, we have invested massive real-world resources, purchased sacrificial power from other players, and set up several officially affiliated player guilds within the game, including well-known ones like the Arms Merchant Guild and Alchemist Guild... All these guilds are operated by us, and it’s no secret."

"We were as amazed by Monster World as ordinary players were initially, that the game possessed perfect physical simulations. Our early resource investment was to test a series of research in Monster World that might cause real-world harm, as well as to save on development costs."

"But after the Imperial Tomb Village library opened to players, our attitude towards Monster World changed."

"Our researchers found that some low-level rune structures recorded in the library could actually optimize real-world energy transmission efficiency, and the plant hybridization technology there even solved a long-standing agricultural problem... This made us realize the importance of Monster World far exceeded our early expectations."

"Although replicating many technologies from the library in reality is quite difficult, the fact remains, we have successfully brought virtual content into reality."

"The Body Refining Method you discovered can also be classified among the contents in Monster World that can be replicated in reality."

"In our view, Monster World is a Treasure Vault, a potential seed bank carrying the future destiny of the Earth Alliance."

After speaking, Duan Hong looked at Xie Yu:

"So, you haven’t uncovered some unknown secret, but rather validated a path we’ve long been exploring and haven’t publicly announced... Not only us, but many races are conducting related research in the Imperial Tomb Village library."

Listening to Duan Hong’s explanation, Xie Yu felt a rush of astonishment.

It turns out the authorities were already aware and even built an official entry system for Monster World.

Understanding the reason, Xie Yu took a deep breath and asked the question lingering in his mind:

"Director Duan, I’m curious about one thing. Since the Star Network has mastered so much technology applicable in reality, as you mentioned earlier, optimizing energy transmission, solving agricultural problems, including the Body Refining Method I’ve discovered... Why doesn’t it directly apply these technologies in reality to reshape our environment once and for all? Is it to avoid societal upheaval and maintain stability? But with the Star Network’s control over reality, this doesn’t seem... like an obstacle to technology advancement."

Hearing this, Duan Hong paused for a moment, seemingly weighing something, and finally began to speak slowly:

"To tell you the truth, we’ve had intense discussions about this internally. The Star Network has always been tirelessly promoting the development of the Earth Alliance. If we were to publish such technologies, we could easily store these technical documents in the real network or selectively open them to research institutions of various races, instead of making a big fuss over creating a library in a game, which runs counter to its usual behavioral logic."
