I'll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 780

Chapter 780: The Magical Half-Descent of the Virtual Space

As such, the space after [Half-Descent] would exist between reality and the virtual world at the same time. Without permission, others would not be able to see the virtual world even if they entered this space.

Furthermore, the virtual space in the [Half-Descent] state could influence the real world.

When Su Yang saw this ability, his eyes lit up. ‘This feels like that fat blue cat’s [The Anywhere Door], or perhaps a parallel universe from “Stranger Things”.

‘I’ve always wanted to try this.

‘However, due to a series of events, I’ve always been delayed. So, now that everything is resolved, I can finally give it a try.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang and Little Deeny took out the 3D map of Shanghai and started to choose the location of their experiment.

After much deliberation, the two of them finally decided on… The chairman’s office in Jiadian Group.

The reason why Su Yang chose this place was because it was easier for him to conduct his experiments.

The headquarters of Jiadian Group was not only a building that Su Yang had added points onto, but he could also adjust the structure of the office. Furthermore, when Su Yang added a point to Jiadian Group’s headquarters, he even threw a glass phone there. Thus, it was extremely convenient for him to teleport there.

Therefore, after deciding to use [Half Descent] in the chairman’s office, Su Yang and Little Deeny’s doppelgangers arrived at the chairman’s office through the glass phone…

When they arrived at the chairman’s office, Su Yang and Little Deeny looked around and realized that the place had changed a lot.

The silvery white floor, the tables and chairs that had been “grown” from the ground, and its furniture made the office look like a room full of super advanced technology.

Actually, Little Deeny had already taken over the entire operations panel of the corporation. Hence, the office was also arranged according to Su Yang’s preferences. For example, there was a safe, a desk, and a chair beside the office desk for Su Yang and Chu Xia to work together. Plus… There was also a fish tank.

In the silver-white transparent fish tank, a squid that looked like it was made of rubber was floating up and down, making “Popping” sounds from time to time.

At that moment, Su Yang waved his hand and called out the control terminal of the headquarters.

Previously, Zhao Licheng had already reported to Su Yang that the company was gradually moving into the headquarters. Thus, now that Su Yang looked through the control terminal, there were indeed quite a number of people in the lower two floors.

Then, Su Yang took a look at the surveillance footage and realized that those two floors were probably filled with staff from his e-commerce company and his film company. After all, these two companies were also part of Jiadian Group, which had the most employees.

However, even though these two companies had more than two hundred people, the headquarters was just too big that not even both companies combined could fill a single floor.

Hence, this meant that the upper floors were still empty, making it convenient for Su Yang to conduct his experiments on [Half-Descent].

So, after ensuring that no one was going to be there, Su Yang used the glass phone, which acted as a terminal, to block the elevator and stairs accesses to the 12th floor. He then said to Little Deeny, who was waiting at the side, “Little Deeny, let’s begin.”

Hearing Su Yang’s instructions, Little Deeny nodded.

Then, she crossed her arms before her chest and closed her eyes before she mumbled something like a mantra.

After a while, Su Yang received a few more options.

[Please choose a method to descend the virtual space.]

[All] [Scenery] [Partial]

Of course, Su Yang chose [Partial] without hesitation.

Instantly, two 3D images appeared before him.

The first 3D image was the entire virtual space, while the other was the scenery near the main building.

Thus, Su Yang tried it out and chose the door of his study on the third floor of the virtual space castle.

After that, the 3D scenery in front of him lit up. It was as if it was asking Su Yang to make his choice.

Hence, Su Yang zoomed in and chose the door opposite his office.

At that moment, a notification appeared before him.

[Are you sure you want to partially descend this into the real word?]

Su Yang clicked [Yes], and the price for this [Descent] appeared before him.

‘Only 10 coins? I guess it’s very cheap to descend just a door.’

At that thought, Su Yang paid without hesitation.

Right after that, the two 3D images in front of Su Yang turned red, as if they were echoing from afar. At the same time, he heard the system’s notification. [Descent Success]

‘I’ve succeeded? Just like that?’

Curious, Su Yang opened the door and walked out.

Then, he realized that the door opposite looked the same as the other doors with nothing out of the ordinary.

However, when Su Yang held onto the doorknob, a notification popped up in front of him.

[Please choose the space you want to go to. Real or virtual?]

Su Yang first chose [Real].

Then, he turned the doorknob and opened the door, revealing a normal office, which had nothing special about it.

After that, Su Yang closed the door and pressed on the doorknob again, choosing [Virtual] this time.

Then, the door opened, and what appeared before him was his study in the virtual space.

The study room had the same modern style as the castle, looking simple, yet fashionable. However, there was no sense of technology within, which made it feel out of place with the main building.

Su Yang looked at the corridor and then at the door. After confirming that he was in the virtual space, walked in and the door closed automatically.

After that, Su Yang sat down behind his usual desk and opened the drawer. There were a few special items that he often used, [Unknown Sticky Note], [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass], etc…

Su Yang then picked it up and played with it for a while. ‘Everything feels… Really magical.’

At that thought, he stood up and walked to the door again. Then he placed his hand on the doorknob. This time, the notification of his earlier choice rang before his eyes.

[Please choose the space you want to go to. Real or virtual?]

Su Yang chose [Virtual] and [Real] in order.

In the end, he realized that whichever space he chose opened the door to that corresponding space.

‘In other words, not only can I reach the study through this door, I could also go to other places in the virtual space as well.’

At that thought, Su Yang shook his head and felt that it was not very safe…

As he thought that, he tried to partially descend more places.

In the end, he descended his chairman’s office into an empty room on the third floor of the castle.

At that moment, the system required Su Yang to make a choice: whether the layout of the room was based on what was in the virtual space, or reality.

Hence, Su Yang chose to prioritize reality, causing the room on the third floor of his castle to instantly change to look like the chairman’s office.

After that, Su Yang tried to enter and exit this space and realized that this experiment had achieved the effect he wanted. ‘Whether it’s from the virtual space or from the real world, I’m able to enter either space. However, when I leave, I could return to where I came from.’

After testing the [Space Descent] option, Su Yang tried the [Restricted Access] option.

In fact, this option was no different from what had been described by the ability. Once this option was set up, unless it was someone Su Yang allowed to enter the office from the real world, they could only enter the real world’s office, and not the virtual world.

As for the issue of how one could identify if they were in the virtual space or the real world, since both rooms would look the same, Su Yang cleverly used the [Virtual Interface].

If the virtual interface could be summoned, Su Yang would be in the virtual world. Otherwise, he would be in the real world.

After testing a few functions, Su Yang and Little Deeny also started to test… The last function, which was also the most amazing function. The function that could affect reality.

Before this, Su Yang first cancelled Little Deeny’s authority before entering the chairman’s office with her.

After that, the two walked into the office together, but something strange happened.

The moment they entered, Little Deeny, who was beside Su Yang, and Su Yang, who was beside Little Deeny, both disappeared into thin air and arrived at an empty office respectfully.

Then, Su Yang summoned the virtual interface and observed the office in the real world. In the office in the real world, Little Deeny took a few glances at the office before sitting on the chair.

On the other hand, the chair in front of Su Yang swayed slightly as if someone had just sat on it.

Seeing this, Su Yang walked over and touched the chair. ‘Little Deeny’s in the video, but I can’t touch her.’

At that thought, he pushed the chair, and it flew toward the window.

In the video, Little Deeny, who was sitting on the chair, strangely flew out with the chair, scaring Little Deeny in the process.

After that, Su Yang then took out a glass of water, dipped his finger in the water, and wrote a few words on the table.

In the video, Su Yang’s crooked handwriting appeared on the table.

After all the experiments were completed, Su Yang had a rough understanding of his [Virtual And Reality Unified] ability.

‘It basically means that the two spaces are glued together. With permission, one could enter the virtual space. Otherwise, they would continue to remain in the real world.

‘Moreover, through the virtual space, I can do anything to that person’s “personal effects”, and whatever I do would affect reality at the same time.

‘This seems very interesting…’

At one point, Su Yang even started to suspect that since ancient times, ghosts and monsters or strange beings might have even caused similar phenomena through this theory.

However, it was possible that their space was naturally created, while Su Yang’s was man-made.

Just as Su Yang was almost done with his research and was about to start the next step of his plans for [Half-Descent], his phone rang…

…

Five minutes ago, at the Captain’s BBQ & Bar in downtown Shanghai…

Qu Xuan was chatting with a few friends while drinking wine and eating barbecue.

There were both men and women among his friends, and everyone was chatting away happily.

As they chatted, the girl sitting beside him downed her glass of wine, turned to look at Qu Xuan and asked softly, “Do you still miss her?”

Qu Xuan was still eating peanuts with his head lowered. When he heard this, the smile on his face froze. However, he then pretended to be nonchalant and laughed twice. “Nope.”

Just as he said that, his phone suddenly rang.

Accompanied by the ringtone, the phone screen lit up. It showed a nickname called “Duckie ❥(^_-)”.

The girl beside Qu Xuan lowered her head and looked at him with a faint smile. Then, she poured a glass of wine and drank it bitterly.

On the other hand, Qu Xuan picked up his phone and stared at it for a while. Then, he smiled and placed it on the table as he said, “Do you know? The most beautiful words in life are, reuniting after a long farewell, regaining something that was once lost, and false alarms.

“However… Reconciliation isn’t part of them.”

With that, he smiled and raised his glass. “Come, let’s drink.”

Hearing Qu Xuan say this, the girl next to him finally smiled brightly. She raised her glass and clinked it with his. The person at the table seemed to have noticed their little interaction and raised his glass as well. “Cheers.”

Thus, the glass of wine was downed in one gulp and the phone call got hung up. Then, the table returned to its happy state, where everyone drank and chatted. Furthermore, as they drank, the girl’s smile widened.

However… No one managed to notice this, but Qu Xuan’s hand was being clenched tighter and tighter under the table…

…

On the other hand, near Shanghai University, Xue Ya walked alone on the quiet road.

Her best friend, Guo Xiaoying, was nowhere to be seen because she had sent her away.

She was going to the hospital for a checkup today. Furthermore, because it was a private checkup, she did not want anyone to know about it.

As they walked, Xue Ya felt like there was a shadow following behind her.

In fact, the shadow was not too far away from her, seeming like a middle-aged man wearing a hat. However, combined with the darkness of the night, he looked scary…

Thus, Xue Ya panicked.

She then looked around and realized that there was no one else there.

‘I suppose it does make sense. The hospital I went to is a little far away, so it would be rather late when I come back from it. Because of this, after I got off the train, I took a shortcut that would allow her to return to school faster to save time.

‘There aren’t many people on this road, so it’s normal that there is no one here at night.’

However, Xue Ya did not expect to encounter such a situation. Thus, that was the first time she had hated herself for being so “meticulous”. ‘I should’ve just stuck to being slower and prioritized my safety! After all, the dormitory isn’t locked, so why did I have to be in such a hurry…’

At that thought, Xue Ya grumbled to herself as she calculated her speed. ‘Based on my speed, it would take me at least five minutes to get out of this shortcut and reach a place with more people.

‘Five minutes…

‘If the other party really has an ulterior motive, five minutes would be enough for him to find an opportunity to strike! So, I have to try my best to survive these five minutes…

‘But, how am I supposed to fight through this?

‘I know!

‘I’ll call someone!

‘As long as I call someone, and I say something like “wait for me at the junction”, or “you’re already here to pick me up?”… That should be enough to scare the stalker!’

With that thought in mind, Xue Ya took out her phone in a panic as she walked quickly. Then, she reflexively called… Qu Xuan.

When the call was made, Xue Ya just realized that she was calling Qu Xuan.

At that moment, she could not help but sniffle.

Actually, when a person is in danger, their mind would blank. So, the person they would want to find would be someone that they thought made them feel the most secure and at ease.

In Xue Ya’s case, it turned out that the person was not her parents, not Guo Xiaoying, but Qu Xuan…

At that moment, Xue Ya suddenly had the urge to want to appear in front of Qu Xuan and tell him the truth.

However… “Du… Du… Du…”

The call kept on dialing, but… no one answered.
