I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly

Xue Jing sat in the chair, his right hand caressing the silver bracelet on his left wrist, lightly pressing twice on its metallic surface.

Behind his ears, there were two silver strips the size of fingernails, and as the bracelet was activated, those patches began to flicker faintly.

According to Ning Yuantai, these two patches were used to receive brainwaves.

The bracelet had neither keyboard nor mouse, nor a touchscreen like phones; most operations were completed through brainwave control.

A pale blue light emanated from the bracelet, projecting a holographic image in the air that displayed a screen similar to that of a smart device's desktop.

As Xue Jing watched the holographic image of the desktop, with a single thought, the display changed, opening the system's built-in browser.

When ordinary people first used this kind of device, due to insufficient spiritual level and brainwave strength, the purity of their thoughts, among other reasons, they would be unable to control the bracelet accurately.

Therefore, they needed to reinforce their intentions by touching the holographic image with their fingers, thereby controlling the interface accurately.

Only after becoming accustomed and skilled could they control it precisely without any physical interaction.

However, with Xue Jing's current spiritual power, there was no need for adaptation; he operated the device effortlessly and adeptly, with no need to reinforce his intentions with physical gestures.

After curiously operating the holographic image for a while, Xue Jing picked up a pair of glasses sitting on a table next to him and put them on.

These were AR glasses that came with the bracelet; upon wearing them, the holographic image in the air disappeared instantly.

A clearer and more vibrant screen interface from the bracelet appeared before his eyes.

Xue Jing casually clicked on a recommended site called 'Mushroom Video' on the opened browser.

Just in an instant, as soon as he clicked on it, the interface of a video site popped up immediately, without any loading process, as smooth as opening a local application.

He randomly selected a video with a hydraulic press crushing various objects for stress relief and it opened instantly; the video started playing in less than 0.1 seconds, and the progress bar below completed loading just as quickly.

"Boasting of its 'unlimited transmission speed', the 'Super Network' can only be restricted by the device's own performance..."

Xue Jing watched the sharp, high-frame-rate hydraulic press video with some admiration.

A five-minute video like this would at least be over 100GB; with the 'old net', who knows how long it would take to load.

Accustomed to luxury, how could one endure the backwardness of the Outer Ring's old net once they have experienced this level of sensory pleasure and extreme internet speed?

After watching a few more videos, Xue Jing closed the browser and turned to the application store pre-installed on the bracelet.

He selected the gaming category.

In the leaderboard, he randomly chose a game called 'Uproar in Heaven' and installed it onto the bracelet; the game was installed the moment he clicked, without delay.

This magical '3D mini-game' allows the player to embody the monkey set in a beautifully rendered, almost lifelike Heavenly Palace amidst the clouds, facing one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals as well as all kinds of Immortals.

Each small soldier had extremely refined modeling and fluid movement, while the spells cast by various Immortals were dazzling to the point of light pollution filling the screen.

With a real hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers on screen, Xue Jing controlled the monkey, wielding the elongating Wishful Bang; with a sweep that enlarged it, he smashed hundreds of soldiers to death, with the blood and guts and corresponding interactive effects on the map depicted with great detail, a sight quite terrifying.

The hardware required to run this level of game smoothly was daunting to even think about.

But within the 'Super Network', there was no need to consider hardware specs when gaming.

Because one wasn't using the bracelet's specs to play at all... the method of play was — cloud gaming. Discover exclusive content at empire

All the games ran on the official servers; players simply received the game's video feed sent in real time over the stable and boundless data transmission.

This method of play was akin to watching a video, except that you could control it, meaning that the player's device specs were irrelevant. The system could be loaded with content as needed, and as long as the server end ran smoothly, the player could enjoy a seamless experience.

Like consuming digital Viagra, an estranged internet addict, Xue Jing played a variety of novel games all night with zeal, eschewing sleep and martial arts practice.

When he came to his senses, it was already morning the next day.

He took off the AR glasses and rubbed his eyes, which although not tired, felt a bit blurry.

"...That was too exhilarating."

Xue Jing exclaimed.

If someone told him now that he couldn't access the Super Network outside the Inner Ring, a sense of reluctance would certainly emerge in his heart.

Even someone like him, with a high spiritual level and a particularly strong will, felt this way, let alone an ordinary person.

"The 'Super Network' is just one of the advantages here in the Inner Ring... The difference between the Inner and Outer Rings is too vast; no wonder countless people in the Outer Ring are desperate to get in, to reside permanently in the Inner Ring."

Xue Jing shook his head and looked at Miao Miao, who was quietly sleeping curled up on his thigh.

"Teacher Wan, let's go, time for breakfast."

He gently stroked Miao Miao's chin and spoke softly.

...

Noon.

In Yuan City, sector C13, a nicely decorated, quiet coffee shop.
