BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55: Family-Style Player
After looking, he breathed a sigh of relief as he couldn't find the token anywhere in Su Lian's mall.
He even asked her if she had bought the item, to which she denied it, as she was still buying items from the personal mall while coordinating with her subordinates.
He then went back to looking at his terminal where the game shop was still up with some items' quantities going down.
So he started to get back into looking at the items he never got to buy in his last life.

One of the most loved items, as this is one of the ways family-style players can increase the size of their territory other than upgrading their family stele, which will be created after the Family token is used.
The family Stele is similar to the core of the territory. If broken, the whole history of the family will be wiped out from the history books by the World's Will, as the family Stele is similar to a bookmark in the history of the world and even the long river of time.
But there is a difference between a low-level Family token and a high-level token. Low-level tokens, namely the Black Iron, Bronze, and Silver, are called low-level tokens as they are not hard to find. They can be found in many ways, such as killing a wild monster tribe created by the World's Will to stimulate growth or through treasure chests.
But the biggest reason is that when the token is used, the family stele does not have any laws in them that can help the family rise at an accelerated pace.
Laws are what govern the void and are something that every cultivator strives to understand and control a small part of, as this small part can give them unimaginable power and lifespan.
Without any traces of laws in the stele, it results in them becoming what everyone calls a low-level family.
They are usually not able to produce a genius who will later become a powerful cultivator due to the stele being unable to attract the various laws in the void.
As you can see, the reason why someone gets a physique is due to special laws safeguarded by the Supreme Will itself, responsible for giving cultivators their physiques and talents toward the cultivation path.
Only Silver-level steles have a small introduction of laws that can help the family get a better headstart than both Black-Iron and Bronze-rank families.
Then comes the middle-level family, which is created using tokens of Gold, Platinum, and Diamond rank.
They are usually the mainstay of any Empire-level force because, even though the tokens are harder to find than low-level tokens, they are not impossible to find.
This leads Empire-style players to collect them and give them as rewards so that the person can create their own force, but they are affiliated with the Empire and will serve it until they are powerful enough to break away from its rule.
However, this is hard because even though the situation of middle-level families is better than lower-level ones, the stele itself is only slightly better than the Silver-ranked ones.
Middle-level steles usually have varying degrees of the most basic five laws present in the void: fire, water, earth, wood, and metal.
These elements are one of the driving forces of a newly formed world as they give the world a solid structure that can later accept higher-level laws.
But this theory does not apply to middle-level tokens because as soon as they are formed, they are created with the necessary laws, and any more would destroy the token.
Similar to the lower-level tokens, Diamond rank tokens, and steles can handle the minimum amount of the five element laws and can produce geniuses in these areas.
Next are the high-level families. These families are created using tokens from Epic, Legendary, and Starlight ranks.
The difference is that in the Epic-level tokens, the five basic laws come in a complete set, which is needed for the special laws that create different physiques.
This allows the family to create people with physiques at a much more stable pace compared to the Diamond-ranked token, which can only create one every thousand years or more, depending on the condition of the planet they are living on.
The difference in the Epic-ranked token is the introduction of space and time laws, which are the next laws that help the world become more complete.
This is also when the tokens create a subspace for the player and their family to live and practice in, separate from the real world.
The reason for this is the two laws are important factors, and also because the materials required for an Epic and above-ranked tokens to be created are much more resilient, allowing them to forcefully create a subspace in the world that is regulated by the World's Will.
Then come the Legendary and Starlight ranked tokens. These tokens are similar to the Epic rank tokens, but their laws of time and space are more complete, with the Starlight ranked token being the most complete of the trio.
The difference is that the area within each subdimension is different.
More importantly, the token also provides a special teleportation formation that connects the subdimension to the real world.
This is important because cultivators below the realm of Perfection cannot perfectly navigate the void, even if the subdimension is close to the planet.
So family-style players usually buy pieces of land that they build houses on that serve as the main anchor point for a family member to come and go.
