Chapter 13: When Will Players’ Quality Improve?
【Jing Baotian V: Hello everyone, I am Jing Baotian. I believe some of you who play games have heard of me to some extent. 】
【Today, I discovered a new game, a game that could change my life. I can even say that as long as 《Shattered Sect》 is around, I probably won’t review any other games. Because once you’ve played a truly holographic simulation game with 99% immersion, you’ll find all the games you played before utterly bland. 】
【Since this game currently doesn’t allow screenshots or screen recordings, I can’t provide proof of my claims. But it’s okay, this is just the first batch of non-wipe testing. More quotas will be released eventually. 】
【《Shattered Sect》, all I can tell you is that this is a cultivation game, or rather, you can truly start your second life in this game. If it weren’t for physical limitations and the need to work, I believe players like me who are playing this game would wish they could stay logged in forever. 】
【I don’t know when the next batch of non-wipe test quotas for the game will be released, but I wish you all good luck. I will be taking the first step to begin my cultivation journey. 】
As soon as Jing Baotian posted this, it caused a stir in the gaming community.
Not for any other reason, but his fame is indeed great. He has millions of fans on Weibo, with at least tens of thousands being active followers who pay attention to him regularly.
His previous review posts were always insightful.
However, he had never posted such a shocking post before.
The comments section under his Weibo post exploded at that moment.
【Are you crazy? 】
【Did your account get hacked? I can’t even believe these words were posted by a professional game review big shot. It’s so awkward it makes my toes curl. 】
【Holographic simulation? Do you know what that concept means? If you said screen projection, I might believe it. A game claiming to be holographic simulation? 】
【Jing Baotian must have played too many games and gone mad. Can someone notify his family to rush him to the hospital for emergency treatment? 】
【Hahahaha, so many idiots in your gaming community, huh? You dare to spout such idiotic claims as holographic simulation? HHHHH 】
……
There were those who mocked, those who watched with amusement, and those who disbelieved.
It was all within Jing Baotian’s expectations.
He remained calm, as he himself wouldn’t have believed that technology in this world had become so powerful as to produce such a game if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes.
Seizing the opportunity while there was still time, he called some well-connected friends in the industry, “Please help me investigate who is behind this game developer, Longevity Sect?”
Such powerful, even epoch-making technology, could absolutely not be achieved by an ordinary game developer.
But has the country become so strong that it’s willing to use this technology to develop a game first?
Jing Baotian also fell into doubt.
At the same time, Chen Miaomiao rubbed her nose bridge.
She began to consider how to explain this matter to her mentor.
She had experienced a true Second World?
And her name was not fake; in reality, she was indeed named Chen Miaomiao, a renowned outstanding student from the College of Agriculture.
She usually played games to relax, mostly mobile games like competitive ones. This time, playing Shattered Sect was purely by chance, invited by her younger sister.
A while ago, her sister had gifted her a set of VR equipment, but she had only used it once and then stopped. She still found most VR too artificial.
Tonight, her sister was simply too bored and insisted on dragging her to see what this new game, claiming to be a holographic simulation, was all about.
She remembered her sister saying before entering the game: “It’s just a gimmick to trick us into entering. But cultivation-themed games are indeed rare in VR, let’s go take a look.”
Then, after entering, both sisters fell silent.
Although Chen Miaomiao was an agriculture student, she knew very well that this was absolutely not something achievable with current technology.
But the fact was, this game had truly appeared.
Jing Baotian’s description was not wrong.
An epoch-making game that could shock the entire world.
The materials that reacted exactly like in reality, everything that appeared, left Chen Miaomiao in awe and unforgettable.
So, how was she going to convince her mentor to grant her a period of leave so she could spend her time on this game?
Because according to Han Tian, there weren’t many ways to make money in the early stages of the sect. Spiritual Medicine was the only source of income for Longevity Sect. Since Chen Miaomiao proposed a change, she was currently the one everyone could rely on. The game needed her, and the Sect Master needed her.
Most importantly, the three-hour talent assessment made her not want to sleep tonight; she wanted to stay up and watch.
It made sense that indulging in pleasures could lead to neglecting one’s duties.
An outstanding student like Chen Miaomiao now had her mind filled with the game Shattered Sect.
The gaming community outside was in an uproar, but since no game screenshots had been released, everyone still believed it was just bragging.
Players like Wu Dahu didn’t have such pressure.
One and a half hours are up!
He could log in now.
This damn game’s one and a half hours were calculated according to Blue Star time. They had genuinely waited for an hour and a half!
He had never felt so anxious while playing a game. Even though it was already midnight, who would want to sleep?
Staying up late was in players’ nature. Even though Wu Dahu had to work tomorrow, he was determined to log in today and test his Spiritual Root talent!
As soon as he logged in, his eyes lit up.
【You have successfully opened a Spiritual Root. Please find the Sect Master to receive your introductory Cultivation Method. 】
Wu Dahu’s spirits lifted.
He actually felt a noticeable change. Compared to when he logged in an hour ago, he clearly felt his eyesight had improved. With every breath, he could faintly sense gas flowing within his body, and it felt like he could control it, a sensation so natural it was as if he had always known how.
It was also dark on the Yunzhou Continent, but Longevity Sect had streetlights.
Anyway, Song Jiulai was too poor to use Spirit Stones as lamps.
Actually, lamps weren’t needed. The moonlight was as bright as light, and the stars twinkled in the sky, casting a glow.
It was night, yet one could still faintly see the mist.
How peculiar this was.
Wu Dahu hadn’t seen such beautiful scenery in a long time.
Upon closer inspection, he could even faintly see thumb-sized insects flying around in the moonlight. He could even vaguely make out the arc of their wings flapping.
He remembered that when he was young, he could still see stars at night.
“It’s so beautiful…”
Wu Dahu murmured. It wasn’t for any other reason; the scenery in this game was so beautiful it brought him a moment of peace.
Not to mention the Spiritual Energy visible everywhere. Wu Dahu had never felt his mind so clear as at this moment. Even the pain of having to work tomorrow seemed to have faded considerably.
Just as Wu Dahu was enjoying this moment of tranquility.
“Damn it, I’ve opened my Spiritual Root! I can cultivate immortality, hahahahaha!”
Wu Dahu: “…”
When will the quality of us players improve?
