Why did Wu Hao frequently seclude himself for cultivation in the past?
It was because he knew that to become stronger, he had no other choice.
Although he usually had a flamboyant personality, he actually had self-awareness.
His cultivation talent, while decent, was not outstanding.
It was precisely because of his diligent cultivation day and night, coupled with the aid of some precious elixirs, that he wasn't left too far behind by the truly talented individuals in the Academy.
So, even though long periods of arduous cultivation were monotonous and lengthy,
He had never regretted it before.
But now, after experiencing the marvel of this Internet Cafe, he not only began to regret but even started to doubt his life.
Here, he could play interesting games and rapidly increase his cultivation.
A month of his arduous cultivation was not as immediately effective as a single day of playing games in the Internet Cafe!
So, what was the point of his daily seclusion for arduous cultivation?
Wu Hao suddenly felt as if he had wasted so much time.
At this moment, he probably had only one thought in his mind: to hell with cultivation!
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Liu Zhengyuan, sitting in his seat, was closing his eyes, regulating his breath and qi.
Suddenly,
He saw one star on the Platinum star ring on his wrist light up in its star slot.
It changed from two stars to three.
Only then did he slowly open his eyes.
He heard Fang Hui beside him exclaim with pleasant surprise, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, your cultivation has broken through!"
"Mm!"
Liu Zhengyuan nodded, a slight smile on his face, clearly in a good mood.
Although he didn't spend much time on cultivation due to his diligent handling of state affairs and busy schedule, he had actually been stuck at this bottleneck for quite some time.
Many elixirs and tonics had been ineffective.
Unexpectedly, a single game session led to a smooth breakthrough.
"Chengfeng was indeed right!"
Liu Zhengyuan looked at the computer in front of him and said with great emotion,
"This computer, this game, truly the longer one plays, the more surprises it brings!"
"Yes, even I feel my cultivation has increased significantly!"
Fang Hui also said with astonished admiration, "This is even more effective than consuming any heavenly treasures!"
"Mm..."
Liu Zhengyuan responded, then suddenly lowered his head in thought.
He had previously seen many Royal Academy students, including Liu Chengfeng and Zhou Yang, skipping classes to come here, and he had been hesitant about whether to intervene.
It wasn't that he disagreed with them coming here to play, but skipping classes, after all, disrupted the Academy's discipline.
But at this moment, he not only changed his mind but also conceived an even bolder idea.
"What if all the students could come here, and even playing games became a mandatory course..."
However, Liu Zhengyuan quickly put this thought aside for the time being.
Firstly, he was not currently the main decision-maker for the Royal Academy; it was the high-ranking Academy officials who took students out for training.
Moreover, the immediate priority was still to resolve the food issue.
He couldn't afford to have any unexpected problems just as things were starting to look up!
So, this idea could only be considered later.
...
It was already 9:55 PM.
The Internet Cafe was about to close.
Although the players were shocked by the amazing cultivation effects brought by the new game,
They understood the rules.
They logged off and exited the game one after another.
Most of them were preparing to leave together.
But after just a few steps, a sharp-eyed player pointed to a spot not far from the corridor entrance.
"Look!"
"Li Xiaoyao seems to still be playing!"
Other players also looked over at the sound.
There were only five minutes left until the computer shut down, but Li Xiaoyao had not yet exited the game.
Wu Hao, Wu Lei, Ouyang Qing, and others in the seats next to him were also staring intently at his screen.
"I wonder how far he's gotten, has he successfully reached Xianling Island?"
"He's so much faster than us, he should have arrived long ago, maybe he's even obtained the medicine!"
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
They also knew that Li Xiaoyao had grasped the correct way to play this game very early on.
So, naturally, everyone was very curious about his game progress and gathered around.
However, when everyone looked at the screen, their pupils couldn't help but contract.
"This is..."
It was a woman with black hair tied into twin ponytails with a blue silk ribbon, her appearance was exquisitely beautiful, and her aura was extraordinary and ethereal.
Every gesture and smile of hers seemed to make the world lose its color, so pure and breathtakingly beautiful.
"Who is this, so beautiful!"
"This aura, it's absolutely stunning, perhaps only the Saintesses of those super martial arts sects on the continent could compare?"
"Oh no, I feel a stirring in my heart."
"Me too, I suddenly feel like falling in love, what should I do?"
Many players stared at the screen, completely captivated.
"Is this the fairy from Xianling Island?"
"Hmm, it should be, she lives up to her name!"
"So, Li Xiaoyao successfully obtained the medicine?"
"Probably."
"No, something's not right, quick, look, what are they doing, getting married?"
"Holy crap..."
After a few more glances, the players actually discovered that Li Xiaoyao was indeed getting married to that fairy.
They all couldn't help but gape, completely dumbfounded.
"No way, how did he do that?"
"Such a fairy, marrying a poor boy like Li Xiaoyao?"
The more the players looked, the more envious they became, filled with admiration, jealousy, and hatred.
"You guys say..."
But then, a player speculated, "Could marrying this fairy be part of advancing the game's progress?"
"Hm?"
The other players were stunned by these words and exchanged glances.
Although Stardew Valley also had a marriage system, it required a high level of favorability, which was very difficult.
And this game... does it even involve marrying a wife?
And marrying such an unparalleled woman comparable to a sect's Saintess?
"Damn, this is possible!"
"And even if it's not part of the main quest, since Li Xiaoyao can marry this fairy in the game, we definitely can too!"
"Exactly, anyway, in the game, everyone is Li Xiaoyao!"
"Fairy, wait for me, I'll come and marry you tomorrow!"
Thinking of this, many people felt their hearts surge with excitement.
