Most of the resources in this competition are like this; they are virtual when acquired, and the competition system records the relevant data.
After the competition ends, or if you die midway or quit early, you can settle and obtain these gains.
Unless you're unlucky like some, dying right upon landing and gaining nothing, you can only accept your bad luck.
However, the Spring of Life and that small tree before us is different; they truly entered Duke's Space Ring, existing as real, tangible resources.
Duke hesitated for a moment upon seeing this scene, unsure whether this place is a simulated competition venue or the real world.
Recalling the competition rules and terms carefully, it seemed none explicitly stated the resources here were virtual.
The notion of virtual resources is based on past participants' experiences.
Thus, the competition officials never said the resources here are virtual; there might truly be real resources stored here.
