Reed and his group went out excitedly, and returned to Osborne's old house in the evening, their bags packed. Their faces were filled with undisguised excitement. Seeing Big Harry waiting for them at the door, Reed and his group almost subconsciously surrounded him, excitedly wanting to share everything they had seen.
"It's amazing, you know? I still can't believe that this is Earth! If I came here without knowing anything, I would even think I had arrived at the home planet of some technologically advanced civilization." Reed opened his mouth and spoke rapidly and intensely.
"Indeed, I can't imagine that this would be the planet we are familiar with. Many technologies that are considered cutting-edge in our world have been eliminated here. Reed and I went to the library in this city, and I have to say, I never thought that the library could be like that. Brain-computer? My God, this is still the old technology that you have decentralized and popularized." Susan also expressed her surprise.
"I really like the entertainment facilities here. They are much more fun than all the entertainment games I have ever played. I even heard that there is a nightmare dimension game that is jointly planned and operated by all the top game companies. Every nightmare world in it is a classic that you will never get tired of playing. I watched some clips and projections on the GG card. It seems that there are already mature professional teams? Can I join? To be honest, I am quite good at playing games. This game is simply not available on the market. The tour guide you arranged told us that this game requires some kind of identity certification. Can you help me with it?" Johnny approached Big Harry enthusiastically, held his hands with both hands, and shook them up and down vigorously, his face full of desire.
"I bought some things my family liked. Clothes and toys. It's hard to imagine that clothes sold here are only about the style. The salesperson told me that all I need to do is buy a set of materials, then input my body data and style requirements, and the materials will automatically take on the appearance of the new clothes. When worn, it can also automatically adjust to the body's changes. No matter the size or height, it is the most suitable. It also has temperature-control properties that make the body feel the most comfortable. I also learned that if you choose better, different brands of clothes will have other functions.
And there are toys. If you hadn't told me they were toys, I'd have thought they were intelligent mechanical contraptions from some cutting-edge laboratory. I think my daughter would love to have such a clever mechanical creature as her companion and friend. "Ben smiled innocently, his eyes still tinged with worry, but he remained spirited as he shared, "It's just that we spent a lot of money this time."
"That money doesn't matter, Mr. Grim. For us, anything that can be bought with real currency, no matter how expensive it is, is meaningless to us. Because apart from being used for enjoyment and spending, that money has little effect on a company of Osborne's level. All cutting-edge technology and equipment can only be purchased with the new currency. Real currency is not a pile of waste paper, but no one would use real currency to trade if given a choice. So just spend it as much as you want. I gave you those cards so that you can spend them." Big Harry waved his hand indifferently.
Big Harry's words weren't simply a reassurance; they spoke a truth. While real-world currency hasn't been eliminated and can still be used to purchase a wide range of items, high-end equipment, technology, and materials are only available with the new currency. Exchanging real-world currency for the new currency requires luck and timing. Someone might list some new currency on an exchange, but if they're not quick, it could easily be sold off. And once competition increases, it puts a real-world currency reserve on the buyer's shoulders. It's difficult for the average individual to compete with the giants or even the government.
The class that can earn new currency already has its own trading circle and a set of trading rules.
After all, although the circulation of new currencies has not replaced real currencies due to factors such as quantity, rarity, and peg, many people and companies can also earn some new currency accumulation for themselves through various methods and channels.
The easiest and most challenging of these is, of course, scientists. These exceptionally gifted individuals, from a young age, can accumulate a small amount of new currency through various exams and competitions organized and sponsored by Hebron. Upon reaching adulthood, the best among them are recruited by major corporations, while the rest conduct research within their schools, utilizing their resources and engaging in collaborative research. Based on their ranking based on data, the higher their rank, the more sought-after and trusted they are. This is especially true for popular categories.
Under the influence of Heilun, major companies are now accustomed to assigning various tasks within the data dimension. Depending on the needs, they can set up free acceptance, set entry-level acceptance, or pay acceptance. Scientists and researchers who are not affiliated with the giants can accept the tasks they are eligible for if they are interested. If they are successfully completed within the deadline, they will receive compensation.
The entire process is operated by data dimensions. If necessary, the two parties do not even need to know who the other party is to reach a transaction.
The initiator sets the conditions and publishes the reward along with the task on the Data Dimension platform. Then, after deducting a certain handling fee and judgment fee, someone accepts the task and completes it, submits it within the Data Dimension, and the Data Dimension will review and run it. After obtaining the correct answer, the Data Dimension will pay the reward to the person who completed the task and then close the task from the platform.
This system was built by Haibolun in Data Dimension. As more and more people enter Data Dimension to share and back up data, the value of data in Data Dimension is increasing dramatically every day.
Besides academic bounties, there are also a variety of other tasks. However, these aren't necessarily offered on the Haibolun platform. Although they all share the same data dimension and the same "network," there's always the possibility that someone might have built a secret platform that only a select few with the key can access and utilize.
For example, a gambling company built a wide range of gambling platforms within the data dimension. Although real-world sports competitions have begun to decline, the emergence of dimensional games has continued and expanded the boundaries of competition. Because dimensional games are built within the data dimension and evolve according to the data dimension's settings, they are more favored in terms of fairness.
Those magnificent and bizarre game worlds captivated everyone. The annual Dimensional Games competition had become a major event in the universe. Teams from every civilization hoped to achieve excellent results and win the prize money, sponsored exclusively by the Energy Bank and the Nightmare Dimension. The prize money was generous enough to tempt any civilization. Well, except for Asgard in the Nine Realms.
But Asgard also did not rule out participating in some competitions. While satisfying and improving himself, he also got some subsidies for himself. Then he would take the money to the dwarf craftsman's workshop in Heberon and select some good materials to make himself a good weapon or equipment.
Originally, the relationship between Asgard and the dwarves did not need to be so complicated, but a long time ago, the relationship between the dwarves and Asgard gradually changed.
Hyperboron replaced Asgard, offering the dwarves greater protection and access to superior forges. This upgraded their equipment and introduced a wealth of new technologies. With Odin's tacit approval, most dwarven artisans fled to Hyperboron's Silent City, becoming its own dedicated craftsmen. Some, embracing their freedom, simply opened their own shops in Silent City, crafting equipment specifically for the city's high-end customers.
The remuneration was generous, enough for them to live well while paying a large amount of rent. The only downside was that they had to take remedial classes frequently to improve their forging skills and various knowledge.
The vast amount of knowledge gave them a headache, but fortunately, the dwarves had a natural talent. Even if they didn't fully understand a certain technical knowledge, they could still forcefully create a qualified finished product based on the requirements, even with only a limited understanding. This highlighted an irrational metaphysics.
The only downside is that the devices built under these circumstances are either exceptionally easy to use, or they are usable but always have some glitches and problems.
Initially, companies like Osborne also hoped to obtain some cheap, usable equipment from the dwarves, but the results were mixed. However, after numerous meetings and discussions among corporate giants and the exchange of information, they all agreed that the dwarves' skill and talent were trustworthy when it came to crafting weapons and extraordinary equipment. However, when it came to the manufacture of more sophisticated, cutting-edge instruments and equipment, most of the dwarven creations currently had certain issues. Despite being cheaper than Hybolon, none of them were as stable or user-friendly as Hybolon.
Therefore, the dwarves' main focus at present is to forge weapons and extraordinary equipment for people. Due to the relationship between Asgard and the dwarves, they enjoy the privilege of cutting in line and receiving preferential treatment.
Another benefit of joining Heberon is that the dwarves have contracted a large number of high-end equipment businesses in the Dimension Game.
Dimension Game players can hand over all sorts of unique materials they obtain within the game to forgers for custom forging. Since most excellent forgers are dwarves, the dwarven race is accumulating new currency assets at a rapid pace.
Every player in the Dimension Game will have a ten-year competition period, which means that from the first day of entering the Dimension Game, they can participate in all official competitions for the next ten years. After ten years, their status as a player in the Dimension Game will be transformed into a subordinate of the Time Administration.
Nightmare felt no pity for these veteran players. After all, ten years had passed, and they had become seasoned veterans, unable to provide him with much Nightmare Energy or benefits. Furthermore, their vast experience and powerful equipment significantly impacted the gaming experience of those who came after them. So Nightmare practically applauded their departure. After all, they had been squeezed into the very pulp of sugarcane, with no useful juice left to be squeezed out. It was perfectly appropriate to toss them to the Time Administration, where they could be reused.
This group of players have experienced all kinds of strange worlds and all kinds of bizarre and bizarre events. They have rich determination and experience in dealing with various emergencies and completing tasks of various difficulties. When they arrive at the Time Management Bureau, they can seamlessly get started with almost no training and handle the affairs of various multiverses for the Time Management Bureau.
After all, there will always be resistance. Of course, the larger ones include Hela's undead army, but for the smaller ones, these dimensional game players, accustomed to small-scale operations, are just the right size to be assigned as special forces. Bring your own experience, equipment, and rations. Just pay them a salary.
Most players transferred to the Time Administration are quite satisfied, viewing it as a promotional destination after graduating from the Dimensional Game. [Virtual] Switching to Reality.
Therefore, the various civilizations in the universe currently pursue two paths: the intelligent ones pursue scientific research and study, honing their technical skills in the data dimension. Those with physical and other talents train in dimensional games, accumulate equipment and property, and then, depending on their circumstances, join the Time Administration or other departments in need.
Every civilization and race in this universe has long since, either automatically or under duress, accepted the rules set by the Energy Bank, or rather, the Hybern, and gradually assimilated into them. Even the infamous pirate groups have long been active in the various worlds of the dimensional game. Civilizations like the Kree, relying on their size and technology, have become another kind of behemoth in the dimensional world. While quietly collecting and purchasing the technology that circulates in the data dimension, they continue to fight against each other.
In the Osborne house.
Big Harry calmed the excited crowd. Facing Johnny's eager gaze, he nodded and said, "Getting a game ID isn't difficult. As long as you can enter the data dimension, you can register and get one yourself. So don't worry, it'll be quick."
"Oh my God, what are you thinking about all day long? Are women and games everything to you? Have you ever thought about our world that is being destroyed?" Susan covered her forehead with her hands, looking helpless towards her brother.
"There's no rush, is there? What's the point of me worrying now? I can't go back, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to help. The only one who can save the world is the great Dr. Reed Richards! Instead of criticizing me, why don't you just let Dr. Reed improve his position and authority?" Johnny complained, pointing at Reed, whose face was still filled with excitement.
