Chapter 93
Sun rays passed through the ocean’s undulating waves and landed on the seafloor, lighting up the abundant coral as they brightly displayed their many vibrant colors.
‘Beautiful…’
Merlin slowly flowed with the current and admired the surrounding scenery. The coral gave off a dazzling appearance, distributed throughout the area and as transparent as glass. It was as if Merlin had entered a huge flower garden; this couldn’t be easily found in real life. It was indeed a spectacular sight to behold.
Bubble.
A shoal of fish approached Merlin, creating a trailing current behind them. Each fish was only the size of his palm, but hundreds or thousands of them together made the group as large as a massive whale. Testing whether the fish were afraid of humans, Merlin moved a little bit closer, and the fish backed away immediately as if they were startled.
‘This is different from the other online games I’ve played so far. It isn’t just a game; it could also be a popular tourist destination.’
The truth was that DIO’s level-up system wasn’t conducive to accommodating and attracting everyone. Users without talents or skills wouldn’t be able to progress, no matter how long they played the game. During the closed beta test, only gifted, enterprising individuals were contacted, and they all devoted themselves to training, but if DIO started accepting anyone without restriction, stragglers and dawdlers would definitely appear.
‘There’ll be users who give up on leveling.’
However, even if this happened, the world of DIO was wondrous, and there were plenty of other things to enjoy. Merlin felt that many people would be interested in DIO for tourism due to the animals and monsters that could never be seen in real life. Additionally, if people didn’t want to fight, they could log in to watch others’ battles. Lastly, the passing of time in DIO was 12 times faster than in reality, so it could be used for studying or an extended vacation.
