Funny how the "real world" looks more fake and game-like, than the virtual murim world.
..."Sync"..."System is ready"....Yeah, that was a bad, bad call. When the manual said "the avatar and the user will sync", I imagined it'd be in more logical terms. Like in life-experience, muscle-memory...So, naturally, if you learn how to "use your mana" in-game, you also take that experience to real life -- and thus, get boosted up. Extra points if the MC would've practiced his virtual cultivation-methods, and notice that they actually do improve his physical body.
When it comes to "magic", you really don't need much. Even cockroaches can become OP if they "practice" the right art.
Yet....
"The system was restored! Bi-boop! Adding your stats now! No need to do anything! I will do it all for you!"
Come on, man...Having "dungeons" in RL was already a downer, but now it seems like the only fun thing this series will have is the virtual world.
