Chapter 19: I Want to Give A Wu a Childhood!
But to everyone’s surprise.
Jiang Ya and Chen Miaomiao did not have orange talent.
They also had purple.
However, compared to Han Tian and Zhou Xiao’s purple, theirs was more intense, with streaks of orange light flowing within like sunset glow.
They were likely on the verge of a breakthrough.
This also allowed everyone to have a clearer estimate of talent.
It was estimated that anything exceeding three hours would be orange talent.
The two didn’t dwell on it. After learning of Han Tian’s plan, Chen Miaomiao shook her head, “My time is very tight. I’ll leave the task of going down the mountain to scout to you all. After I grasp Spiritual Energy, I need to study the Spiritual Fields and herb seeds here first.”
Han Tian nodded, “Alright, we’ll tell you everything we discover then.”
Chen Miaomiao agreed.
Han Tian, Zhou Xiao, and Jiang Ya headed down the mountain.
Wu Dahu had initially said he would go, but he hadn’t expected the game to progress so quickly. He still had to work, and he would regretfully miss this event. After all, he wasn’t online, and time in the game waits for no one.
The three then followed A Wu down the mountain.
A Wu carried a small back basket, had his hair styled like a young Daoist acolyte, and wore a long robe. He seemed quite happy.
In fact, the three of them found him quite amusing.
He was clearly a child, yet he was the Senior Disciple Brother of the Longevity Sect.
As a disciple of the Longevity Sect, A Wu had always handled all the daily chores within the sect, although there weren’t many chores.
But being alone all the time could be boring.
He was twelve years old, and he chattered incessantly on the way, especially with the fourth Junior Sister, who suited him best—because she talked a lot.
One hadn’t spoken in a long time, and the other wanted to extract information. They could chat from one end of the country to the other.
Almost everything A Wu knew had been gleaned by Zhou Xiao and the others.
The Yunzhou Continent was vast, so vast that A Wu couldn’t imagine it.
The territory they were in belonged to the Myriad Immortal Sect, one of the nine Major Sects of the Yunzhou Continent. The Myriad Immortal Sect’s territory was in the most prosperous and bustling Myriad Immortal City, a sacred place most Cultivators yearned for.
Legend had it that within the Sect City, even without cultivation, one could reach the Mid Qi Condensation Stage in just ten days by merely breathing, provided they had a Spiritual Root.
That was impossible here because the Spiritual Energy was too thin, so thin that they rarely even saw Demonic Beasts.
The ones they could see were low-level ones with no Spiritual Intelligence.
“There are Demonic Beasts too? Have you ever fought any, Senior Brother?” Zhou Xiao was extremely curious.
A Wu shook his head, “Let alone fighting Demonic Beasts, Senior Brother hasn’t even seen any. The Demonic Beasts’ territory isn’t here. Usually, Senior Brothers and Sisters from the Flying Sparrow Sect go there for training.”
Jiang Ya, who had been silent, suddenly asked, “Are there any Sects that practice Beast Taming?”
A Wu replied, “Naturally, there are. Some Demonic Beasts can be tamed, but most are Spirit Beasts specially raised by Beast Taming Sects. Spirit Beasts are obedient and docile, with better temperaments than tamed Demonic Beasts from the wild, but their combat power isn’t as strong as Demonic Beasts.”
A Wu looked up and suddenly said, “But they say that outside the Yunzhou Continent, there is also the Sacred Beast race, descendants of ancient divine beasts. Even newly born little Sacred Beasts have combat power comparable to our Human Race’s Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. I’ve never seen them, though; I heard about them from the Old Sect Master. I don’t know if it’s true.”
The three quickly noted this information in their minds.
Based on the information, the background of this Yunzhou Continent was quite well-developed.
The information A Wu could reveal was limited, but what he did reveal was already astonishing.
Could such a vast world truly be modeled entirely by a game?
What kind of server would be needed to support it?
Would they really get to experience such a world?
A strange warmth surged within them, not just for the game, but for its vast plot background.
Even a tip of the iceberg was enough to inspire endless longing.
Although they weren’t flying, their foot speed was not slow. The appearance of Wang’an County Town was just ahead.
Having witnessed the prosperity of modern cities, the scale of Wang’an County wasn’t much in the eyes of the Players, but it had its novelty.
This authentic ancient town, even in a Cultivation World, was very ancient in style. They had truly never seen anything like it.
Walking onto the street, the hawking sounds from the roadside, the various pedestrians, each one was unique.
That kind of worldly human touch was something they, Players accustomed to takeout and rarely leaving their homes, had seldom encountered.
At this moment, a sense of beauty and tranquil comfort arose.
“This is nice…”
Zhou Xiao exhaled softly, “I’ve forgotten how long it’s been since I enjoyed this kind of life filled with human touch. I still remember the beef pancakes sold downstairs from my old home. They came every morning, freshly fried by the Boss. The pancakes were crispy and golden, and the beef filling was plentiful and savory. Later, when I was in high school, I was buried in my studies and never saw such a scene of everyday life again.”
Han Tian swallowed, listening, “Don’t say any more. I’m getting hungry. But if I order takeout now, I’ll probably only get pre-made food.”
Even Jiang Ya glanced at the two of them.
A Wu looked at Zhou Xiao curiously, “Junior Sister, what are you talking about? High school, studying?”
“Uh…”
Zhou Xiao realized that the System wasn’t blocking them when they spoke modern language?
【Ding: Apart from keywords like Game and Player, the System does not restrict Player speech and actions. Players should exercise their own discretion. 】
After hearing this, Zhou Xiao said cautiously, “No, I just remembered my past.”
“Do you want to eat beef pancakes? We don’t have the kind of pot stickers you mentioned, but we do have beef pancakes.” A Wu picked up the key point from her words and patted his chest proudly, “Senior Brother knows where to get them. I’ll take you to buy some!”
With that, he took the lead and ran forward, quickly arriving at a stall. “Uncle, give me five—no, fifty-two beef pancakes!”
One for each Junior Disciple Brother and Sister, and one for myself and the Sect Master!
Anything that didn’t involve Spiritual Energy was incredibly cheap compared to spending Spirit Stones.
“Coming right up!”
Zhou Xiao watched as A Wu actually went to buy beef pancakes, but she had only made a casual remark.
Zhou Xiao suddenly felt her eyes welling up, “Holy crap, this feeling, this feeling of having a casual remark taken to heart. Big Shot, I’m done for. I’m going to play this game for a lifetime. I want to create a better sect for the Sect Master, and I want to give A Wu the childhood he deserves!! Pay-to-win, hurry up and open the Pay-to-win System! I want to show this game what a terrifying Pay-to-win Player looks like!!”
Han Tian, Jiang Ya: “…”
However, they were both quite surprised.
A casual remark, and A Wu took it to heart.
At the very beginning, when they entered, they had always felt that A Wu was like an NPC in the game.
But now, arriving in this town, they realized how real it was. Every person was so vivid and lifelike.
They were, in fact, real.
Could a game truly achieve this?
They had only been in this game for a few hours, yet they had pondered this countless times.
And most importantly.
Would a game like this attract the attention of the country?
