Chapter 205 – Florida Man Injected Micro-CPU and Micro-GPU Inside His Brain So That He Could Play Fortnite in His Sleep.
"999 more times? Ain't nobody got time for that!"
Leo scratched his head. Although gaining a free skill was tempting, he wasn't interested in the grind. After all, the previous fight was annoying as Esen's shadow was a lot faster than Situ Nantian. Had Leo fought her 2 months earlier, he would have been struggling to catch her.
He had enough with the simulation mode. He checked the other features next.

The next one in the queue was the Dantian Universe Management. Leo pressed on it and activated this mode. Then, changes occurred in his consciousness.
His body automatically floated out of the planet. His sight got stuck in the void, and he could only look forward. The grassland star, which he had been on earlier, became as tiny as a grain of sand.
Aside from the grassland star, there were other stars and colorful masses of gas and dust in the void. However, they seemed so far away from the starting world.
DING
Another red system screen manifested and floated in front of Leo. It showed the status of this universe.

"…"
Leo almost swore out loud. There were so many stars in this universe. However, the total number of stars that Leo could use was only one! Moreover, the stars had a level, and it was pathetically low.
At the bottom of the menu, several buttons hinted that Leo could do something about these unused stars.
[Assign Element]
[Assign Roles]
[Create Galaxy]
Leo spent a few minutes experimenting with these buttons. Fortunately, there was a hint of what they were for as a description appeared whenever Leo hovered his finger over a button.
He read the descriptions while he experimented on it. Surprisingly, everything was direct and simple.
[Assign Element] was straightforward. Using this feature, Leo could assign a type of element essence for an inactive star, and it would become active.
After a star got its elemental essence, the [Assign Role] button became available to use. It allowed Leo to choose the role of an active star, and there were four major choices – Habitat, Core Energy Source, Spiritual Source, and Material Source.
The habitat option gave permission to local lifeforms to evolve or grow. Leo could play god and create any living being on one of these stars with this option.
The core energy source option transformed an elemental star into a core of a black hole, a sun, or a core of a galaxy, which enabled the [Create Galaxy] mode.
Spiritual Source's button linked an elemental star to a core energy source and developed a star system. When at least two stars joined and became a star system, they provided Leo with an unending flow of Qi and energy.
As for the Material Source, it was more magical than the rest. It allowed Leo to use whatever energy he had to materialize anything in the real world! However, it had a prerequisite that the local energy source or materials from the star systems and galaxies were enough to supply such a grand endeavor.
For example, to create a rock in the real world, Leo needed to sacrifice a thousand rocks in his universe. Then, a real rock would appear in the real world and carry the same characteristics as the 1,000 sacrificed rocks in Leo's dantian universe.
The exchange rate seemed cheap at a glance. However, the sacrificed materials couldn't be regenerated. Once a star was completely consumed, it disappeared forever. The only way for Leo to get them back was to cultivate energy from the real world into his dantian universe and let the Qi and essence create a new star.
And lastly, [Create Galaxy] could only be used after Leo created at least 1,000 star systems using at least a billion stars. By using this mode, Leo could group useful stars together for future usage or add exoplanets to the same group. He could also separate planets with local habitats from the energy sources if he wished to play the SIM one day.
It took Leo an hour to get familiarized with the new toy. However, he didn't bother creating a galaxy as it was too tedious for his taste. Again, he didn't have enough time to manually assign an element to one billion stars and design their sizes.
"I wish I had more time. Meh, next."
Moving on, Leo glanced at the "Lifeform Management Settings" menu. The status showed 0 as the current population as Leo had never allowed anything to live there.
Avoiding the complications, Leo left this mode alone for the moment. He checked the other feature, which caught his eye.
[Time Ratio Settings]
Leo opened the menu and found a simple screen. It showed a few numbers, descriptions, and a slider bar.
.
Time Ratio Settings
Time Flow Ratio (Dantian Universe: Reality) = 1:1
*One unit = one day.
.
The slider was in the middle. Leo tested the slider bar by moving it to the furthest right. Then, the menu changed.
.
Time Ratio Settings
Time Flow Ratio (Dantian Universe: Reality) = 1,000:1
*One unit = one day.
.
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Leo cackled as he found what he wanted to most. In the past, he lacked free time to play or study. But now, he had all the time in the world because of this feature.
This was the infamous DBZ's hyperbolic time chamber! Leo could spend a thousand days in here, but only one day would pass in reality!
"Oh, boy. I should have used this earlier!"
With this system, Leo no longer had time issues.
He played enough. He skipped the [Energy Expenditure Settings] as he came back here to play with the universe SIM game and activate all his available stars in his universe.
With a thought, Leo's consciousness returned to reality. He opened his eyes in a good mood.
"Nice gnosis! Now, that's what a high fantasy cultivator's power should be… Oh, no. I almost forgot my tasks."
Leo snapped back to his senses and looked at the black mountain. He still hadn't finished his quest yet, so he needed to find the right place to build something on top of it.
