"Hahaha, got the qualification in hand."

Opening the red envelope, a golden glare flashed and vanished.

The envelope shell dissolved into starlight, and a golden note appeared in Tu Bai's hand, printed with the word "qualification."

A game prompt also echoed in his mind:

[Event Prompt: Congratulations on receiving Challenger qualification, activate and use within 24 hours (qualification expires if unused).]

Faced with the hysterical howls and disparagement from nearby tourists of various races, Tu Bai's face lit up with a radiant smile.

He didn't have much hope participating in this event.

After all, the number of tourists participating was immense, and his chances of winning were too low.

More importantly, he was late to join the event.

The event opened on New Year's Eve, but at that time he was watching players fight in the arena on the Monster World official live-stream channel for days, completely unaware that the officials had released qualifications.

For better immersion, he would close the comment section and the pop-ups while watching the live-stream to experience from the first-person perspective of the game streamer.

He had no clue what the tourists were chatting about in the live-stream during this period.

He only noticed because the few streamers he followed didn't catch the Ancient God bus on Colorful Mist Coast, so he thought he'd log off to order a batch of new nutritional fluid.

As soon as he logged off, he realized something was wrong.

He was shocked to discover that the Monster World official had released game qualifications.

It proved that in reality, you need a few good friends, or else no one will remind you of benefit events.

The event had been going on for three days, yet he hadn't participated at all.

Usually clamoring for qualification, but when it was finally available, he wasn't there.

This made Tu Bai stomp his feet and beat his chest, even though the chances were already slim, he still felt like he missed a million.

Actually, compared to a million, he more wanted Monster World's game qualification.

Whatever a million can buy, he can basically buy in reality.

As for cars and houses, the goods pursued by humans of the old era are no longer applicable to this era.

Cars on the road are mostly autonomous vehicles controlled by the Intelligent Brain of the city.

Showing off the value of a car would only be seen as foolish.

In contrast, cars of the old era were a face project; whoever drove a luxury car had prestige everywhere.

But now, cars no longer have that vibe anymore. With the prevalence of autonomous driving, cars have become "shared bikes." You can call one with an app to pick you up, without touching the steering wheel, without needing a driver, and without worrying about difficult parking or traffic congestion.

Everything is handled by the Intelligent Brain, always providing the best route.

The only thing left is to sit inside, scroll through your phone, and wait to reach your destination.

Many cities have even abolished taxi fees, changing to free autonomous vehicle use.

Cars have truly achieved their purpose as transportation tools, with no other added value.

Houses, on the other hand, have a bit more presence than cars, but aren't much better.

Even if a house in reality is large and luxurious, nobody cares, because everyone lives in the Virtual World, who cares how many houses you have in reality.

If someone boasts about real estate, people would just find it boring; they would even think the person hasn't grasped the Virtual World.

In an era where most race members spend most of their time in the Virtual World, there are many who boast about virtual property, but very few who boast about real estate in the Virtual World.

The way people show off wealth has long changed, and the Virtual World is the main stage.

That's why every year, race members invest large amounts of money into the Virtual World.

So in comparing the value of a million and Monster World's game qualification, most people prefer Monster World's game qualification.

Especially those tourist players who watch live streams every day.

They try to praise Star Network in different streams daily, hoping to earn a game qualification from Star Network.

Whether this is meaningful is uncertain.

But it's certain that Star Network, monitoring the entire network, receives all information online.

It might just reward a qualification.

If there's even a slight possibility, these tourist players don't want to miss it.

Tu Bai is one of these players.

Every day in the live streams he first says "praise Star Network," then blocks the comment section and pop-ups, and starts his immersive watching of the streamers exploring Monster World.

His favorite streaming section is the arena, he loves watching the blood-pumping battles.

This time he logged off only to find the Monster World qualification event had been going on for three days, feeling regret for acting too late, and decisively joined it.

What surprised him was that during the red envelope grabbing event at midnight, he gained a game qualification with just one attempt.

He originally planned to earn event points to draw for game qualifications, yet he got the top prize directly.

As if he was just preparing for a marathon, but got the champion's medal directly.

A feeling of instantly becoming the Chosen One.

This made him happier than winning a lottery jackpot, unable to resist bursting into laughter.

Facing the disdainful gazes around him, Tu Bai smiled and raised the golden note to spin and show:

"Friends of all races, see you next time in the live stream!"

Without waiting for race members to start dissing, Tu Bai decisively summoned the system panel and chose to log off.

After the Game Pod opened, the excited Tu Bai didn't bother changing his game suit and went straight to the computer desk.

He woke up the black screen and entered the Monster World official website.

He saw that the official website interface now had a "download" option.

It proved that it wasn't an illusion spawned from endless longing; he really got the game qualification.
