Chapter 30: Entering The Pacific Blue Star Evolution Path Rankings
At the same time as Jin conversed with the President of Astranova Industries, in the Virtual World center area of Pacific Blue Star, crowds were gathered.
Each and every person that could enter the Virtual World was at least a Level 2 Cosmic Citizen. And right now, all of them were staring up at a massive glowing tablet, inscribed with names and Evolutionary Paths.
The Pacific Blue Evolutionary Path Rankings Tablet.
There was a version of it in both the real world and the mirrored Virtual World. On it were the names of 100 Evolutionary Paths, which were the top 100 Evolutionary Paths to ever come out of Pacific Blue Star. Each Path, evidence of the blood, sweat, and tears that talented scientists put their all into creating, was also attached with the name of the Path’s Founder.
But contrary to how the rankings on the Tablet had been for centuries, there was now... an additional name.
Although changes in the range of the Top 100 Evolutionary Paths were common, a new addition to the million-year-old Tablet was anything but a usual occurrence.
"Ranked 97th, Martial Dao Evolutionary Path, Rank 3..."
As Level 2 and above Citizens began to read off the details of the new addition, they got around to the name of the Founder.
"The Benefactor," someone said, marveling at the contents of the 1st Chapter of the Evolutionary Path he just purchased for 6,666 Cosmic Human Coins. "The act of refining a vital part of yourself, Essence Refinement, is quite amazing. As opposed to other Evolutionary Paths that require specific resources, Bloodlines, or Physiques to practice, this Martial Dao Path has much more versatility."
Someone else sighed. "It’s only unfortunate that the Evolution Path only has the 1st Chapter. I’m already a good bit into the 2nd Rank, so even if I converted to this Path, I wouldn’t become any stronger."
