In a dilapidated rental house in the Demon Capital.
“Mom, I’m doing fine. I’ve just been busy with work lately, so I haven’t called home.”
“I have enough money to eat, don’t worry about me. You and Dad shouldn’t always work in the fields; pay more attention to your health.”
“For Chinese New Year, I’ll see how it goes. If I’m not busy, I’ll come back.”
“Mom, why do you keep asking about Xiao He? I’ve told you several times already, she and I broke up a long time ago.”
“Mom, I have to go now, I need to get busy.”
Hanging up the phone, Lin Ye stood on the balcony, pulled out a cigarette, took a deep drag, and looked at the myriad lights outside, his eyes filled with confusion.
At 30 years old, unemployed, no savings, and dumped by his girlfriend, four words summarized his situation: utterly unsuccessful.
The only person who could change his fate now was Qin Zhenhua.
He had checked Qin Zhenhua's information online; he looked exactly like his in-game avatar, a genuine top-tier rich second generation.
But so what? In the game, everyone was equal, and he didn't want to beg Qin Zhenhua for this matter.
However, the Hua Xia Sect contribution points could be sold off at an appropriate time to sustain his life.
So, this game had become his entire hope.
Unlike his current situation, Ye Wuyai had always maintained a positive attitude towards life.
After a quick tidy-up, he immediately got on his small electric scooter and rushed out to deliver food.
…
Three hours passed quickly.
In the Cultivation World, Jiang Xiaoxiao stood in the courtyard, eagerly awaiting.
Soon, four rays of light flashed one after another, and Zhao Shijie and the other three walked out of the house.
Their first action was to check their personal information, and upon discovering the additional one hundred contribution points, they all grinned.
One hundred contribution points, if sold to Qin Zhenhua, would be fifty thousand yuan.
For Lin Ye, this was a huge sum of money!
However, he wasn't considering selling them. Now was a good time to level up, and if he didn't have contribution points to exchange for Body Tempering Pills, his progress would fall behind, causing him to drop out of the first tier.
Only by raising his level would he earn more contribution points.
“Look at the sect information column, there’s a hostile force,” Zhao Shijie suddenly exclaimed.
The other three immediately switched interfaces. At the bottom of the sect information, there was a line of red text.
Hostile Force: Qingcheng Gang
Sect Level: 2
Number of Sect Members: 331
Announcement: Hua Xia Sect has declared war on the Qingcheng Gang. Every sect disciple who kills a hostile disciple will receive five contribution points.
The four of them held their breath, first thinking of the contribution points, and then becoming curious about the opponent's strength.
“Killing one person gives five contribution points, isn’t this like a bounty?” Qin Zhenhua murmured.
“Don’t celebrate too soon. Their sect level and number of members are both higher than ours. It’s best to raise our cultivation first before going to plunder them,” Lin Ye suggested.
Ye Wuyai stroked his chin and asked in confusion, “Is this Qingcheng Gang the gang of those people?”
At his words, the other three immediately realized, their faces showing anger: “Damn it, it must be them!”
“Xian Ge must have had a conflict with those people, that’s why he listed them as a hostile force!”
“If they want to destroy our sect, then we’ll strike first and wipe out their whole family!” Ye Wuyai roared, full of murderous intent.
Jiang Xiaoxiao, standing beside him, took two steps back in disgust.
These people are so violent!
Just then, ten rays of light flickered in the void, and then ten players appeared in the courtyard.
Ming Tian Shang Zao Ba: “A-Am I dreaming?”
Singer Xu Yuan: “Is this the game world?”
Gongdi Xiao Wang: “I-I can’t…”
Shu Ya: “Why are the clothes so ugly?”
Chen Shaocong: “Is this f*cking a game? Why do I feel like I’ve transmigrated? Can I still go back?”
Aojiao de Dou Dou: “Xiao Xiao, I’m here, hehe…”
Moxiu Fang Yuan: “It really is a 100% immersive cultivation game! My cultivation dream can finally come true!”
Internet Celebrity Gunsmith: “This feeling is great, no different from reality. Which company developed this, exactly?”
Kuang Ao Bu Jian Dang Nian: “Can you marry in this game?”
Qihuan Senlin: “…”
Zhao Shijie and the others scanned everyone’s information one by one. When they saw the ID “Qihuan Senlin,” the four of them were a bit stunned.
Looking at his appearance, a bald, round face, and a potbelly, he was definitely a strange uncle.
Ye Wuyai: “Damn it, I’ve tolerated him for too long, beat him up!”
Qin Zhenhua: “Me too!”
Lin Ye: “My goodness, I’ll fly up and kick him!”
Zhao Shijie: “Give me some face, go easy on him, just cripple him.”
Before the others could recover from their daze, Zhao Shijie and the three others had already rushed to Qihuan Senlin, grabbed him, and landed two solid punches.
Lin Ye: “Didn’t you say this game was fake? I’ll kick you to death!”
Qihuan Senlin: “Ah, ah! Bro, stop hitting, I was wrong, I was wrong!”
Ye Wuyai: “Let you act all sarcastic, let you randomly insult people, I’ll beat you to death!”
Qin Zhenhua: “You two-faced dog, you actually stole this young master’s spot and even questioned this young master! I’ll chop off your hands!”
Zhao Shijie: “No, don’t use a knife, or I won’t be able to explain to Xian Ge when he comes back.”
Internet Celebrity Gunsmith: “He seems to be the one who sent the link.”
As soon as this was said, the expressions of the onlookers immediately changed, and they all joined in, each giving a kick.
Chen Shaocong was even more aggressive; he directly picked up a large rock, poised to smash it onto the bald man on the ground.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Zhao Shijie shouted loudly.
But Chen Shaocong was extremely excited at the moment and completely ignored Zhao Shijie, raising the stone and smashing it down hard.
The bald man was so scared that he quickly hugged his head, shrinking into a ball.
Bang—
The stone was sent flying, landing in the empty space next to them, and then rolled towards the medicinal field.
“My spiritual herbs!!!”
Jiang Xiaoxiao exclaimed, and to everyone’s disbelief, she appeared at the medicinal field in a flash, then kicked the stone away.
Bang—
The stone, like a football, soared high and crashed outside the courtyard.
Jiang Xiaoxiao ran angrily to Zhao Shijie, hands on her hips, and scolded, “Do you know how hard I worked to plant these herbs? If that had hit them just now, do you know how many contribution points I would have lost?!”
Zhao Shijie’s mouth twitched slightly, and he awkwardly scratched his head, “I’m sorry, I’ll be more careful next time.”
The actions of the two just now left the newly arrived players stunned.
This extraordinary strength truly shocked them.
“Hey, what do you mean? Do you know who I am?” Chen Shaocong completely disregarded all this, pointing at Zhao Shijie arrogantly and questioning him loudly.
Moxiu Fang Yuan: “Fight, fight…”
Kuang Ao Bu Jian Dang Nian: “There’s a good show to watch.”
Gongdi Xiao Wang: “Young people are just so impulsive.”
Shu Ya: “Young Master Chen is so handsome!”
Singer Xu Yuan: “Young Master Chen, don’t be impulsive, you can’t beat him.”
Slap—
A loud slap echoed in everyone’s ears.
Chen Shaocong pointed at Xu Yuan and cursed, “What are you? Do I need you to butt in when I’m doing something?”
Xu Yuan covered his aching cheek, lowered his head, and said nothing more.
Qin Zhenhua, standing nearby, frowned slightly. He had expected Chen Shaocong to reveal his true nature in the game, but he didn’t expect him to be so volatile and arrogant.
