Chapter D008 – Virtual Space and Territory Inspection

Ruri spent another one and a half hours attending one more class before logging out.

Course content doesn't really matter, as it was about reviewing previous topics and preparing for end-of-term exams. The other students fell silent and listened to the teacher seriously. But regarding this matter, Ruri just relaxed with a calm mind.

The moment after she got up from the Capsule Pod, Ruri checked something else in her pod system. Seeing the completion notification on the pod, she just smiled in satisfaction.

"Finally, the VR-Space is done."

What she checked was of course, the VR-Space she promised with the Beastkin siblings.

Without further ado, Ruri pressed the link button, and allowing her mind to dive into the newly created VR-Space.

The process of creating VR-Space cannot be said to be fast. For this VR-Space, she allocated 5 PB of data space from her pod and it took her nearly two days to finish the initialization stage. Fortunately, the other stages didn't take much time, and they were all over before she returned from school.

Ruri didn't bother creating a new avatar and simply logged in using her school avatar.

When she opened her eyes, Ruri found herself floating in an pure white space. This was a vast expanse of pure white space, seemingly almost endless, and with no end in sight. Nothing has been created in this space yet, and as the admin, everything in this space belongs to her, and she has the power to do anything here.

"Let's see... I have to make a place first."

With a simple thought, she opened a control panel window with countless parameters that only an admin could have.

Since the framework used to build this VR-Space was the Executive version, the customization rights are the highest. There are a total of 11,280,000 parameters in the control panel, which can be adjusted to scientifically simulate various environmental factors, such as the depth of gravity, oxygen levels, wind speed, temperature, humidity, and much more.

Normally, manually configuring all those parameters would be sure to drive people crazy, but there was no need to go through all of them, because there are already various preset examples that are ready to be used.

Ruri simply selected one of the preset examples and added a few modifications.

"Ok, I choose you!"

As soon as she pressed the confirm button, countless polygons appeared in the white space and reshaped slowly to match the 3D holographic preview in front of her. It didn't take her long to see the results with her own eyes.

A tubular-shaped space with a height of 1000 km, consisted of a small round island with a size of 800m, an ocean area extending 2 km from the coast of the island, a clear blue painted sky, and life parameters the same as Earth. Outside the space was an inaccessible area, which basically belonged to the data area not allocated to the VR-Space.

While others simply create a room or at most a house, she directly created an island!

This was possible because the allocated data space was quite large, a whooping 5 PB, which equals 5120 TB!

Others allocate around 5 TB at most in their rented server for personal digital workspaces, live streaming, and more, while low and mid-sized organizations or enterprises allocate around 200 TB at most.

Of course, the larger the size, the more computing power needed to run the server. But fortunately, such computing power wasn't a big issue for the Executive-type Capsule Pod.

Ruri smiled with satisfaction.

As expected, this scene is more amazing than the holographic preview.

She then turned off the Ghost Mode and allowed herself to fall due to gravity into the grassland area of the island.

"I CAN FLY~!!"

The experience was quite exhilarating.

She enjoyed the sensation of skydiving without a parachute, something that she certainly didn't dare to do in real life. When she fell to the ground, the sound was quite loud and a human loli-shaped crater formed where she fell. Even so, there was no damage or pain, because she still hadn't implemented the related systems in this VR-Space.

"That's quite fun... But I must not forget of my goal."

Near the crater, Ruri found a large rock and sat on it, before she opened the control panel window again.

From the Resources tab, she can see how much "data space" each resource uses.

As for why this kind of civilization was destroyed, Hecate didn't think too much of it.

After all, it's only natural for a fantasy-type game to have one or more ruins of an advanced civilization.

"And this place is my Territory from now on."

What does Territory mean to Players?

This means that designated areas now belong to specific Players and can be managed according to their needs. This was similar to owning a house and land, but on a much larger scale. If the area of land ownership exceeds a certain scale, then the land owner can choose to build a city and rule as ruler over that land.

With the scale of the ruined city, it was as if Hecate had taken the city directly.

'I can still remember the moment Leon-sama got the Brynhildr Fort.'

Hecate couldn't help but reminisced about the past.

The leader of the Genesis Guild, Leon who quickly rose to prominence in the eyes of the Natives of the Rosenweil Kingdom for completing various A-grade quests. One of the rewards from the Templar promotion quest that Leon successfully completed was a Territory Permit that grants the ownership of Brynhild Fort, which he then manages to this day.

The profit that Leon gets from shops, taxes, and other projects at Brynhildr Fort can be said to be quite fantastic. With sufficient funds, he was able to strengthen the Genesis Guild to its current scale.

"Hmm, this is...!?"

But soon Hecate realized that her situation wasn't that simple.

In her Game UI, she found there was a new section tab named Territory Management. This tab contains some information and instructions related to area management, such as instructions for deploying Area Barriers, Teleportation Gate, etc.

In addition, there was also a special section that shows the status of the territory in real time, such as total population, military, economy, satisfaction, and many more. Currently, none of them had appeared as the territory was still unnamed. And under territory status there are information on requirements to upgrade territory level to the next level.

But that wasn't the point.

Territory recognition from the system was fundamentally different from the Territory Permit issued by Native royalties. The former means that the area belongs solely to the owner. Meanwhile for the latter, basically the area remains state property, and the permit owner only manages it as a state subject.

In other words, the territory that Hecate owned was not the subject of anyone or any kingdom.

When the total population and military reach a certain number, she can choose to become a Warlord and carry out diplomacy or declare war on other territories. And when she gains recognition of 2 or more other territories, she can choose to upgrade her territory to a Kingdom and immediately ascend as Queen!

"Uhh...."

Seeing the requirements to became a Warlord and Queen, Hecate's expression became complicated.

In the first place, she had no intention of opening up her territory to the public. She knew herself best that she was just a selfish introverted loli and not very good leader material.

Let alone Queen, she herself didn't know if she could make a good study group leader.

Moreover, if the Genesis Guild found out about this, they would definitely resort to moral kidnapping, forcing her to share this territory as the guild's assets!

"That's definitely not the situation I want."

Hecate definitely didn't want to share her hard-earned cakes with others so easily.

But even though she knew that Genesis Guild could definitely make her cake bigger and would compensate her with various benefits, she still didn't want to share this cake.

She knew that with her guild's strength, they would be able to rebuild the city, turn it into a Kingdom and make it prosperous in no time. But at that time, the one sitting on the throne would be Leon, not her.

Thinking that other people would be more successful than her made her heart feel extremely uncomfortable!

"Rather than rebuild the city, I should make this place as my personal workshop!"

After giving up the option of creating a Kingdom and becoming Queen, she immediately made another choice.

There was no need to insist on making a city. Rather than that, turning the place into a workshop was more attractive to Hecate. With the scale of the city, she can create a giant workshop that can help her manufacture items on a large scale.

Coincidentally, just this morning she got various machine Blueprints from her school, one of which was a metal engraving machine. But still, it would take some research to adapt the machine to suit the environment here.

While thinking about the Blueprint, Hecate suddenly remembered what Rena had said before.

"Ah, yes... Looks like Astrid wants to talk to me about something? I have to visit the guild now."

She immediately activated the Return Base skill, and disappeared from the place.
