"What do you mean?" Dante blinked with puzzlement.
Beatrice coiled her supple legs together and smiled at Dante. "The ability to enter the Quantum World is one of the most cracked things I have ever heard. You're not from this universe Dante, and ever since you came here, you've probably been struggling to catch up."
Dante nodded. "I spent 4 weeks in the school's training world learning about Reaction, Posture, and all that, then Conservation and Spirituality."
"Pretty much what I thought. Due to your situation, you have been entirely tunnel visioned Dante. You've had your perspective limited by the goals you want to achieve such that you failed to see the other things that could also help you." Beatrice stated as she pressed her holographic screen.
"Oh?" Dante knew she was right.
Being tunnel visioned wasn't bad. Having your focus spread out over many things could cause you to fail to prioritize what was important and waste your time. Tunnel visioning could also help to narrow down your path, but like she said, it could also obscure easier and more efficient ways to achieve what you wanted.
"You've browsed the top worlds in the school's database and that's fine, but those are picked not for how much they necessarily help students, but for how much they payout in terms of Supercoins." Beatrice continued as she continued to press some stuff rapidly.
"Everyone needs Supercoins, but you don't. What you need is to quickly raise your power as much as you can in terms of SDI before you enter the Zero Gate. As such, the focus of the worlds you should be looking for do not lie in the top ten."
Beatrice eventually swiped on a screen and brought the holographic projection before Dante.
"Back when I was in school, even though I couldn't enter the Quantum World like you, this world was my favorite because it helped me hone my mind, body, and spirit as well as experience how to grow my power systematically without harming myself."

Dante's eyes flashed as he understood what Beatrice was saying. In truth, he should have thought about it as he was someone who had read a few Eastern fantasy novels in the past to pass the time, but he did not think about it because he generally looked down on the genre.
From the bland, repetitive fights, to the illogical characters, the insufferable main characters, and the cardboard jade beauties, he was not really one to have the genre in mind as he walked. He was more of a fan of the sci-fi and system genre which was why he made the choices he did.
However, Dante knew Beatrice had revealed to him the perfect path forward. While the genre of wuxia and xianxia was full of very poor writing and questionable logic, it had one thing that stood out, which was also why despite its flaws, people still flocked to it: the limitless power.
Unlike other genres where there is a clear power cap, the wuxia and xianxia genres were known for having 'higher worlds' with entirely new levels. Depending on how bored the author was, these higher worlds could keep going on for eternity.
To the male gender who craved and sought power deeply - especially in today's world - it was a toxic relationship of love and hate with the genre.
"What do you think?" Beatrice asked with a smile.
Dante shook his head to release himself from his thoughts and smiled at Beatrice. "You've pretty much helped me cut down the time it would take to reach my peak by more than a hundred times."
Beatrice used a finger to poke his chest gently. "You're welcome."
Dante glanced at the world details and pondered. "Can this solve my problem though? I came to check whether my genes have stabilized and I could receive another treatment."
Beatrice's smile disappeared. "Wait Dante, I hope you didn't display your SDI to the Student Enhancement Center."
"Of course not. I haven't told you this but…" Dante proceeded to tell her about his experience in the Eternal Academy since he arrived, especially his near capture by the teachers.
Beatrice sneered. "It seems like nothing has changed. That wretched academy is still full of holes, with various factions fighting for their own benefits."
Dante shrugged. "But the headmistress punished them according to what I found and that has prevented other factions from disturbing me."
"She did?" Beatrice was surprised.
"That is not necessarily a good thing. It means that you also have some value to her which is why she is trying to protect you." Beatrice stated with a frown.
"I can definitely see that. What I am curious about is whether any faction will dare to cross her again to get me." Dante asked as he glanced at Beatrice.
"Well, to put it nicely, they will behave as long as you don't provoke them. Provoking them in this case means them seeing something of value on you that is worth their action. When that happens, who is the headmistress?"
"At the end of the day, she is one person, she does not have an army nor an armada. She can block some using her much vaunted superpowers but can she block them all? She can't even destroy a hundred star-class battleships, much less a dreadnought like what we are on."
Dante sighed. "I had a similar thought. Whenever an institution keeps hyping itself up that it is full of ethics, integrity, cannot be infiltrated and is completely impartial, it is probably more corrupt that the abyss itself."
"The problem is that some gullible idiots believe this on the surface and always get cheated. When they complain, they are shocked when no one takes them seriously and then are eventually silenced using various means." Beatrice added with a nod.
Dante crossed his legs like a gentleman and glanced at the details of the True Martial World. "What about… cultivation?"
"Can I enter those xianxia worlds and absorb the spirit energy within to achieve those cultivation stages and fancy powers?" Dante wondered.
Beatrice was silent and hesitated. "I'm… not sure."
"To be honest, they were the first things that came to my mind when you told me your power, which was why I was so excited. But then I thought about it and realized that while you theoretically could, that world requires you to have a special organ called the Spirit Root."
Beatrice pointed to Dante's lower abdomen. "While your virtual body will obviously be given one, we can't really know if your real body has one."
Dante nodded. This was why the martial arts one was better because one didn't need any special organ. They just needed to have a strong body, a solid and detailed technique, diligence and resources like pills and nutrition to grow.
With his current SDI, it would be a piece of cake to get started. Since it was a shared world, it had its history as well as legacy and the entire world would not easily bend or curve in his presence. This was much better than the rising star world for example whether his choices affected the entire world at any time.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Alright, I'll dive into this world tomorrow morning. Right now, I'd rather spend time with you." Dante stated with a smile as he brought Beatrice into his embrace.
Beatrice was overjoyed and snugly lay in Dante's broad and thick arms placing the back of her head against his chest. Like this, they spent the night together, chatting about many things, with Beatrice mostly asking questions about Dante's experience growing up.
After all, she had heard many times about the human race during the 21st century when they expanded rapidly technologically until they eventually hit outer space. It was marvelous to hear about that era from Dante's mouth, though it was a different universe.
From his mouth, she had a dream in her heart, and that was to travel to Dante's home to see what it was like and try to understand him better. However, that would only be possible if Dante's Quantum Entanglement rose in rank and reached the point where he could bring more people.
