Chapter 140: Even a Clever Cook Cannot Cook Without Rice
“What? Are you kidding me?”
The other side seemed taken aback by this possibility, paused for a moment, then laughed, “Don’t joke around, where in our country is there such technology now?”
Zhan Sheng thought about how to explain the possibility to make the other party believe, but still said, “It’s a game, a virtual game, I know you won’t believe it…”
“What a joke, a virtual game?”
As expected, the other party interrupted Zhan Sheng.
“A Sheng, has your condition worsened to this extent?”
Zhan Sheng: “……”
She pursed her lips, “I’m not joking, it really is a game, it appeared in our country. You can search for it online, it’s quite a hot topic right now…”
Her unfinished words were interrupted again, “A Sheng, you’re truly muddled. Tell me, what kind of technology now can create a virtual game? Do you mean a game can cure your headaches? Don’t joke around, your condition will only get worse if you delay. Dr. Allison is not someone anyone can see. I went to great lengths to get him to agree to see you. Now that there’s an opportunity, wouldn’t they be willing to let you go abroad?”
Zhan Sheng knew that even if she explained, the other party wouldn’t believe her. She was also impatient with the repetitive talk. “Just look it up online yourself. I know you mean well, but I don’t really like going abroad. You know what happened to me. Now that there’s an opportunity, rather than pinning my hopes on an unknown treatment plan, I’d rather try it here domestically.”
After speaking, Zhan Sheng hung up the phone.
Even recalling the data from the game now, her head began to ache faintly.
However, what she calculated was clear.
In other words, the data she calculated in the game would not be forgotten when she returned to reality.
The game could prevent her headaches from recurring.
It was truly a magical game.
Similarly, Zhan Sheng didn’t believe that this game could be created by current domestic technology, so where did this game come from?
With this question in mind, Zhan Sheng eagerly logged back into the game.
She hadn’t enjoyed the feeling of thinking without restraint like this for a long time.
At the same time, the battles inside the game were raging fiercely.
As the players fought, they realized this method was inefficient and had already figured out some ways to cope.
Except for those flying in the air, which were difficult to deal with, the rest were on the ground.
The players first used magic to melt the ground of the entire area outside Wang’an County into a large amount of mud, slowing down the demonic beasts’ advance.
One person’s strength was meager, and this method was usually unreliable, but their combined combat power was not bad.
Understanding cooperation was better than fighting randomly.
The Tier 2 demonic beasts’ resistance was very strong, and it was unrealistic to use spiritual energy to drag them. The deeper the mud melted, the more it affected the demonic beasts’ speed.
If they fell into a mud pit, cultivators could immediately roast them with fire or strike them with lightning. Various magic spells mixed together also had a synergistic effect, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Moreover, some demonic beasts that stepped into the mud pits first during their advance would be trampled by the demonic beasts behind them, causing them to kill each other.
As for the aerial units, they could only be dealt with by the disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect.
Su Huanli held off two Nine Nether Eating Spiders, and they had to deal with the other Tier 2 demonic beasts.
Some Life Players seized opportunities, not daring to go to the farther battlefields, and came out with their Mustard Seed Bags to collect corpses.
With each touch of a corpse, one less was there. Upon seeing a Tier 2 demonic beast charging over, they would run back.
The disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect, upon seeing this, could only sigh.
“Are you risking your lives for materials?”
The attack range of Tier 2 demonic beasts was still quite wide, not to mention that venom and poisonous gas were mixed with mud everywhere. A slight carelessness and getting splashed on could be fatal.
Usually, the battlefield was cleared after the fight.
“There’s no other way,” Zhou Xiao said amidst the crowd, her expression solemn. “We have to collect them. The corpses piled up could already cross our city walls.”
This wasn’t a matter of greed. With more and more corpses, who knew how many more demonic beast corpses there would be.
If they weren’t dealt with, the corpses alone could bury the area outside Wang’an County.
The Life Players of the Longevity Sect dared to go out at least because they had some backing.
Most of them were at the Mid Qi Condensation Stage.
The Early Qi Condensation Stage disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect couldn’t go out and could only help process the corpses brought back by the Longevity Sect disciples from behind.
It was at this time that the Early Qi Stage disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect began to feel something was wrong.
“Why are they all at the Mid Qi Condensation Stage?”
Wasn’t this advancement speed too terrifying?
They remembered that at the beginning, these disciples were all at the Early Qi Condensation Stage.
Some Flying Sparrow Sect disciples had never left the sect’s mountain gate from beginning to end, always staying on the mountain. They were not aware of these matters and their impression of the Longevity Sect was still that of a sect with only a Foundation Establishment Stage Sect Master.
They only occasionally got to taste some new food developed by the Longevity Sect disciples.
Zhu Xiangchen, who was in charge of procurement now, quite liked buying the gourmet food made by the Longevity Sect.
Mainly because it was delicious.
However, in the eyes of the Flying Sparrow Sect disciples, a sect that liked to engage in such unconventional research would naturally have cultivators with relatively low cultivation.
Who knew that now, they all turned out to be at the Mid Qi Condensation Stage?
Furthermore, the occasional Palm Thunder attacks also made the Flying Sparrow Sect disciples feel that something was amiss.
With the Longevity Sect being so prosperous, could everyone use Palm Thunder?
They were all dumbfounded.
There were still differences among those at the Mid Qi Condensation Stage. Some Life Players only dared to collect corpses, while some Mid Qi Condensation Stage cultivators directly engaged in frontal combat on the battlefield.
For example, Zhou Xiao and others.
Why was there such a big gap?
It felt like in just a few months, the sky over Wang’an County had changed.
Zhou Xiao’s face was pale. After expending spiritual energy several times, even taking medicine wasn’t very effective. For them, purchasing Tier 3 Pills was still a rather extravagant use, as they couldn’t afford many.
They could only retreat to the city wall, close their eyes, and begin meditating to recover their spiritual energy.
Zhan Sheng came to her side. Zhou Xiao felt someone’s presence and, knowing it was a Player, didn’t pay much attention.
Zhan Sheng said softly, “Your current fighting method won’t work. If you encounter a wave of demonic beast assaults, you’ll be in chaos.”
Zhou Xiao suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Zhan Sheng, a New Player who hadn’t even opened her Spiritual Root yet. She then said, “There’s no other way now. A portion of our high-level combatants are still outside, and the main force of the Flying Sparrow Sect disciples hasn’t returned yet. We can only hold on for now.”
Zhan Sheng asked, “Can this game have voice command?”
The System sighed, “Not yet.”
Its energy was insufficient.
Zhan Sheng’s expression was complicated.
Even the voice system couldn’t be activated. This game was too advanced yet too backward.
System: “……”
Wasn’t this a case of a clever housewife being unable to cook without rice?
It was currently helping Players transmit messages one by one because transmitting to everyone simultaneously consumed too much energy.
Zhan Sheng said to Zhou Xiao, “I’m not clear about your combat strength, so I can’t make a detailed analysis. I can only see that the demonic beasts outside are gathered together. You need to find a way to cut the demonic beast formation into several battlefields and deal with them in teams. Otherwise, if higher-tier demonic beasts appear later, you’ll be wiped out in one wave.”
