David Parker now needs an experienced veteran to help him select a suitable method to accelerate the second stage of fusion, so this place, which holds all the materials of Sanxitang, is a must-visit. Because among the thirteen members of the Elders' Council, there is always one stationed here, and with Uncle's authorization, David Parker can obtain the executive elder's approval to access the materials and receive assistance.

Sanxitang uses a real ability value indicator, meaning that apart from one's own abilities, there are no additional functions. This is different from most virtual games, where the provided illusory abilities are enough to split continents and create worlds. Nor are there any convenient features like instant teleportation found in other information center areas.

So David Parker can only rely on his own two feet to walk into the ancient Roman Colosseum built in the beautiful valley. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, the crowd surges, but through the separation confirmation of the Sky Eye system, David Parker knows that in reality, there are only three people here.

Chapter Five: Rapid Advancement Method for Stage Two Evolution of Biological Parasites

All four entrances are open, but they are blocked by countless virtual people. David Parker directly and unceremoniously kicks aside any 'virtual' spectators in his way, acting with blatant rudeness.

'Virtual people' are just 'virtual people'—whether being kicked or just bystanders, they show no reaction at all to David Parker's rude actions. It's obvious they're simple programs, probably only set to cheer and nothing else.

Seeing the virtual spectator he kicked down return to its original action in slow-motion replay, David Parker isn't surprised at all.

"Bro, do you need a lesson in manners!?"

A girl in classical casual wear suddenly appears out of nowhere, boldly blocking his path. David Parker doesn't reply. Although the Sky Eye system's connection tells him this is a real 'person', David Parker has always been very averse to men who use female avatars and speak in a man's tone.

His 'sister' William Carter just has a slightly softer personality, but usually still acts manly. Plus, he's a great guy—cheerful and easy to get along with, so David Parker gets along well with him. But as for those who actually like perverted games or have disgusting behavior, David Parker has no patience.

Having sized up the other party, David Parker skips the explanations and delivers another powerful kick, ready to respond with violence.

Unless someone is willing, no one else can know their information. Virtual space avatars can be customized, and anyone with some skill designs their own look. So it's impossible to judge someone's gender by appearance. To tell someone's real gender, it all depends on personal experience.

Unlike Uncle, who likes an elderly appearance, David Parker always appears as himself. But there are plenty who change their look every time, so even though there aren't many people in Sanxitang, David Parker can't immediately recognize everyone.

A slightly arrogant move indeed provokes a strong reaction from the female-looking roadblocker.

David Parker not only ignores her, but also kicks another virtual person flying, which is clearly a provocation. This really annoys Grace Thompson. Although she speaks with a bit of a tomboyish, roguish tone, she is, just like her chosen avatar, truly a girl. In Sanxitang, she's considered one of the rare beauties, and as one of the few female enthusiasts of ancient martial arts, she's always well looked after here.

As for David Parker, he spends most of his time with masters like Uncle—he's a genuine ancient martial arts expert. Basically, aside from paying attention to the top dozen or so in Sanxitang as motivation, David Parker is only familiar with Uncle's group of friends. He doesn't come here often, usually just to find some materials and leave, rarely hanging around. Naturally, he's never met the so-called top ten hotties or five great beauties of Sanxitang.

"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

"I heard you, but it seems you're missing that thing too, aren't you?" In response to Grace Thompson's questioning, David Parker retorts blandly, not afraid of causing trouble. In fact, the more trouble, the better.

The thing people fear least in Sanxitang is—dueling. After all, in virtual space, no one really gets hurt.

"Don't mess with me, missy. I have a bad temper."

"Then you're in luck, my temper is just like yours. I guess we're two of a kind."

"Want to try out my latest martial arts skills?"

David Parker strikes a classic pose, sinking into a bow stance with one arm extended. It's a scene from a martial arts challenge that was all the rage a thousand years ago, of course, from an old movie.

Both sides share the same intent, so mutual understanding is quickly reached. Since the language hasn't gotten too heated, David Parker doesn't resort to foul language, and Grace Thompson just has a bit of a roguish tone. So in the end, instead of an angry brawl, it turns into a very formal martial arts duel.

Standing on one foot, lightly jumping, Grace Thompson actually likes David Parker's bold style. Relaxing her body—not necessary, but just like relaxing her mind, the action has a very good effect.
