Win on the arena first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, I know your rules—I’m not your match yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ang admitted frankly he couldn’t beat Bai Xingwei, but added: “Wait a while—when my Great Yin-Yang Interplay Art reaches the fifth level, I’ll come for you and Luo Quan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I wake up then, will you give me a chance to court you two sisters?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you not hear me?” Bai Xingwei’s expression turned cold. “Winning against me only grants you the right to court me. Luo Quan has never made any promise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Luo Quan, you have other conditions?” Zhao Ang turned to the beauty behind Bai Xingwei, feeling inexplicably elated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To chat so intimately with two absolutely stunning beauties at such close range—today was already worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no intention of holding a martial contest to choose a husband,” Luo Quan said calmly, pulling a plaque from her pocket. “But I have this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ang stared—and his face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a white jade plaque, its back engraved with a lifelike white tiger, its front bearing three square, precise characters: Ji Qingyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been given to her by the White Tiger Palace’s master, Ji Qingyue—hold the plaque, and it was as if holding her; she’d said it could resolve most troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this shameless harassment, Luo Quan had no better option, so she pulled out the jade plaque to see if it might help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I never expected the White Tiger Palace’s master would give you the White Tiger Token…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ang’s demeanor grew slightly more respectful, yet he didn’t relent: “But ladies as beautiful as Miss Luo and Miss Bai—any man who sees you will feel admiration. Can’t love be a reason to pursue? Is that a crime?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei scoffed: “Pursuit is fine—but it depends on who’s doing it. A pursuit from a notorious playboy known across the cosmos? Any woman would feel terrified.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a gross injustice—I’ve never used violence or coercion to court a girl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Zhao Ang smirked self-satisfiedly: “Everyone has a price—and the price I offer? They usually can’t refuse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you finished? If so, you may leave,” Bai Xingwei said, using polite words to order him away immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could I dare refuse a beauty’s request?” Zhao Ang pulled out a fan from nowhere and snapped it open with a sharp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he passed Luo Quan, he murmured softly: “Miss Luo, how much would it cost to have dinner with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he strode off with a swaggering, arrogant gait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei turned to Luo Quan and said gravely: “This is the trouble beauty demands—you’ll face many like him at the Academy. Some are more refined, some more vicious, but he’s unquestionably the most persistent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s fine—I’m here, and with the Martial God Token, none of them dare act violently. They’ll just cling to you like sticky gum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan understood: “So that’s why you’re holding a martial contest to choose a husband—to scare off those weaker than you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei shook her head slightly: “Not most. All.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those who can beat me won’t be obsessed with romantic affairs—they have greater, grander pursuits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And those like Zhao Ang, who only care about pleasure, are no match for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it seems holding a martial contest is actually a good way to solve this problem,” Luo Quan mused, considering whether she could use this method herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she quickly dismissed it—she couldn’t use it yet, because she lacked Bai Xingwei’s peerless strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after this lecture, things might change—Luo Quan had a strong feeling she’d gain something substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course you’ll gain something substantial—the spiritual energy density here is more than triple that of Bai Xingwei’s home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system’s sudden words startled Luo Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy density of the Cosmic Star was already a thousandfold that of Earth; Bai Xingwei’s home was already higher than most regions—yet the Academy was even higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she trained here for a day, wouldn’t it equal over a decade on Earth?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system corrected: “A decade sounds like a lot, but given Earth’s baseline spiritual energy, it’s negligible. The higher your realm, the exponentially more energy you need to breakthrough—so the difference is minimal in the short term.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if you stay here longer, the situation changes completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood. So I’ll just stay in the Academy these few days and go nowhere else,” Luo Quan thought, silently giving herself an OK sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Bai Xingwei continued telling her about the Academy’s taboos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example: don’t casually go to the Star Hall, don’t talk to unfamiliar students, learn to refuse others, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you even listening to me?” Bai Xingwei frowned as she noticed Luo Quan’s vacant gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am. Don’t go up to the sky, don’t talk to strangers, don’t be a pushover,” Luo Quan summarized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, exactly,” Bai Xingwei nodded. “There aren’t many rules here, but enough to watch out for—just stay alert, and you’ll live very comfortably.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s find a comfortable room and lie down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, aren’t we supposed to listen to the Immortal Martial Daoist’s lecture?” Luo Quan blinked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei spread her hands: “The Immortal Martial Daoist’s words are broadcast throughout the entire school. As long as you’re here, you can hear him anywhere—you don’t need to be in his classroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan nearly fainted, lifting the hem of her dress: “Then why did you make me wear this? You said to dress formally to show respect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For first-year freshmen, formal attire is indeed appropriate—I didn’t lie to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei blinked innocently: “It’s your own fault—if you hadn’t been so late, we could’ve gone to the classroom. You know how many students would rush to hear the Immortal Martial Daoist speak—his classroom was probably full long ago. I waited until just before the lecture started just for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Luo Quan felt embarrassed: “That… does sound like my fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is your fault,” Bai Xingwei crossed her arms, smirking triumphantly. “But honestly, being in the classroom doesn’t matter much—just hearing the Immortal Martial Daoist’s voice is enough to begin your insight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those who scramble for seats? They just want to impress him, hoping to become his disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last time he lectured, he took on three honorary disciples. Even honorary, their status soared beyond recognition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan gave a wry smile: “Now that you say it, I almost regret not arriving earlier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have the White Tiger Token—honorary discipleship means nothing compared to that,” Bai Xingwei waved dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, what’s the actual status of the Martial God Hall in the Cosmic Academy? I still don’t have a clear idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan stared at the finely crafted token in her palm, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can only say it’s extremely high—not just because it handles civilian security across the Cosmic Star, but because it houses many Dao-attained masters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei’s tone carried a hint of reverence: “Though its reputation isn’t great, no one has ever questioned the Martial God Hall’s depth. When the Cosmic Civilization waged wars to dominate the region, the Martial God Hall was one of its pillars!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei’s words carried a hint of respect: “Though its reputation isn’t great, no one has ever questioned the depth of the Martial God Temple—back when the Cosmic Civilization waged wars to dominate the region, the Martial God Temple was one of its pillars!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like a military-police hybrid with many heavyweight elders—definitely powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Listen, all you need to know is that with this White Tiger Token, aside from the imperial family, almost no one in the Sheng Tang Heavenly Dynasty dares to scheme against you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei’s words put Luo Quan’s doubts to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two rented a room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A luxury double room specially provided by the school for student rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two large beds sat side by side; beside them, a table held two helmet-like devices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan picked one up curiously: “What’s this? Earphones for the lecture?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, these are earphones,” Bai Xingwei tossed her two round, glowing discs. “Place them beside your ears—no contact, no sweat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the one in your hand—that’s a virtual brain-computer, for entertainment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of entertainment?” Luo Quan placed the earphones on her ears and examined the helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei sighed: “Games, cinematic and literary role-playing, special scenario simulations—all of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can preset your character parameters and fully immerse yourself in the virtual world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Any story you know can be simulated through this helmet—you can choose to play any character you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, any sensation you experience in the virtual world is fully fed back to you—but causes no real harm. You can even lower or disable the pain system.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, this is literally a divine artifact!” Luo Quan blurted out three “awesome!”s in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d once invested in a brain-computer interface project, aiming to create a machine allowing direct brain control of computers and immersive visual experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ultimate goal was Sword Art Online—to grant people completely real experiences within virtual worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For humanity, this technology was still incredibly distant, with near-insurmountable technical barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if developed, it would first be used in military applications; civilian use would take decades, and mass adoption even longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet on the Cosmic Star, it was just a toy for leisure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by Bai Xingwei’s demeanor, she’d probably grown bored of it long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, can ordinary people afford this?” Luo Quan set down the helmet and asked the crucial question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a tool for turning people into layabouts. Ordinary people who use it lose all interest in reality—so the government limits each virtual helmet to one-third of a regular workday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It grants citizens the right to daydream—but not at the cost of real life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But on legal holidays, there are no restrictions—you can lie in bed all day if you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for price, the helmet itself is cheap—it’s the virtual world content that’s expensive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For example, a model of a popular female star on the black market sells for a fortune—only the wealthy can afford it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it seems you need money to do anything,” Luo Quan chuckled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, a model of a popular female star on the black market can fetch a sky-high price, affordable only to the children of wealthy families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like no matter what you do, you need money,” Luo Quan chuckled bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was originally thought to be a technology that could bring universal absolute happiness, but in truth, it was just a money-making tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how real a world may seem, its content is ultimately limited—just as a book must end and a game must shut down, this virtual world follows the same logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, people grow bored and crave a new world—that’s when the payment point arrives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one must admit, this toy has indeed provided countless people with the best escape from reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With it, many social problems can truly be resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only potentially uncomfortable aspect might be the female celebrities turned into models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When otaku men can dream of their goddesses through virtual helmets, within a consciousness space they can control at will, the scenes that unfold are beyond what others could even imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Luo Quan decided to thoroughly study how this device works, to avoid being turned into a model herself someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not knowing about such things is fine, but if one ever finds out, it becomes deeply unsettling—better to avoid it if possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The lecture is about to begin—hurry and eat the Wisdom Fruit, or it won’t have time to take effect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei took out a glossy green fruit from her storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan took it and lowered her head to sniff it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rich, fragrant aroma filled the air—clearly something extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>",2191,"2026-06-20T22:54:06.151Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","13bf491044822404fe01e95ac4a7b0cc75ad14ae3f661d2b138583a4af056b82","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-952","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-950",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
