Take the Church of Holy Light as an example. Generally, such an organization has a pope and a saintess who oppress the common people. However, the church in the Xion Empire bears the responsibility of representing the fundamental interests of the people, advanced productive forces, and the direction of social development in the empire. Many "believer committees" have been established at the grassroots level of the empire. The top leader of this committee is called the "believer committee secretary," whose status is higher than local officials…Does that sound familiar?
Now let's talk about the Adventurers Guild. After attacking the Dragon's Lair and seizing a large amount of money decades ago, the guild stopped engaging in large-scale collective adventures. Instead, they made a magnificent turn and invested in the real estate market in the Imperial City and the Magic City. They bought low and sold high, churning the capital market with long-term and short-term operations, and pushed the housing prices to an all-time high in the empire's history. Young people can't afford a house with their lifetime's salary, so they give up on trying and become "Buddhist-oriented" youths. The adventurers have become the "Adventurers Real Estate Speculator Group" who everyone in the empire seemingly hates yet secretly envies…Doesn't that also sound familiar?
As for the education system, it is even more unscrupulous. The Imperial Government and the Church of Holy Light work together to focus on the development of education. They admit talented individuals from all over the empire through the "National College Entrance Examination for General Higher Magic Schools," or simply called the Magic College Entrance Examination. The Magic College Entrance Examination is divided into the "Elemental Science" and "Holy Light Science," representing the mage and warrior career paths.
In provinces like ShanDong Province that are famous for their entrance examinations, the top scorers in both the Elemental and Holy Light Sciences are eagerly sought after by prestigious imperial schools. Some are even directly teleported to the imperial city to sign pre-admission agreements with schools that take the initiative to act. However, ordinary people with average talents can only struggle in the Magic College Entrance Examination to seek a better future and often fall short…Doesn't this sound even more familiar?
This must be a fake parallel world! What's the difference from before I crossed over?
Of course, this world also has a warm side, such as the entertainment industry on the Bren Continent, which doesn't fall behind compared to the future. It has created objective conditions for me to continue being a happy homebody.
Two hundred years ago, Eniac Wozniak, a genius magical engineer from the Western Continent, created the Mana Internet, or simply called Manet, connecting all the magicians in the world. People became Manet users through handheld magic devices, and as long as they have a minimal magical circuit in their bodies, they can communicate with the world through these devices.
The Manet is awesome, not to mention the exchange of knowledge among magicians. The handheld magic devices' client virtual games, or simply called mobile games, developed by major game developers across the continent, provide ordinary people with a perfect way to experience an extraordinary life.
I don't need to experience an extraordinary life in mobile games, but as someone from Earth who crossed over in 8102 AD, mobile games are an essential part of life.
Once you start playing mobile games, it's hard to stop. Recently, I've been spending almost all the income from selling aquatic products on the new-generation holographic game called "Sword Girls," developed by the Federal Sito Technology Team and operated by the Empire Penguin Game Company…
"What a rip-off! The so-called explosion rate, base guarantee, and limited event pools are all deceptive garbage! They didn't even give me an SSR…" In the back room of the aquatic products store, after spending another 648 silver coins without any rewards, I fell onto the sofa.
My money is running out…
At the same time, an intense pain spread from every pore of my body, causing unbearable torment. It struck my heart, making it feel like it was about to stop beating and forcing me to shiver uncontrollably.
That's right, counting the days, it's been three days since I last fished with explosives in the western village. I've been addicted to mobile games and haven't managed the "Magic King Liver Bursting System," causing my life to be worse than death…
If I don't complete the task, I'll lose my sexual function tomorrow!
The double crisis of my wallet and sexual function reminded me that I can't continue to stay at home playing mobile games. I should go out and do something.
Fishing with explosives every time gets a little tiresome.
Moreover, I really like the new "Sword Girl" character "Damocles Updated" in this version, which has caused my recent desire for spending to skyrocket. Selling fish simply cannot meet my consumption needs.
It's time to make a big move!
