Chapter 22: The Pain of a Corporate Slave
This was also a major undertaking.
Jing Baotian rubbed his eyes, temporarily set up this website, and posted the basic information on Weibo.
【 Jing Baotian V: Welcome interested Players to visit this Game. I can responsibly say that this is indeed a Holographic Simulation Game. I have already drawn out the maps of the places I’ve temporarily visited in the Game. To be honest, the map of this Game is unimaginably large; it’s basically no different from treating it as a Second Life world.
Currently, the Game version is still in its early stages. Our Longevity Sect temporarily has no major development path. Besides Spirit Herbs, we hope all you Big Shots can give us some opinions on other development directions. 】
Jing Baotian didn’t have any other purpose for posting the website.
Even if they didn’t believe it, there would always be curious netizens who would take a look.
The Longevity Sect currently lacks a main objective, so perhaps some Big Shots will come forward with suggestions.
That’s right, he just wanted to get some free advice.
After posting it, Jing Baotian felt a little tired, but not as exhausted and pained as he usually was after staying up late.
At least his mind felt clear.
It was just that his reason told him he should eat breakfast and rest.
No matter how fun the Game was, one needed a healthy Body to keep playing.
He didn’t pay attention to it after posting on Weibo.
Many Fans saw the information he posted and clicked on it, discovering that the background and map of this Yunzhou Continent were quite well-made.
It was just AI-generated art, looking fake at first glance.
【 Are you crazy? You actually take a trash Game seriously? 】
【 Playing a Game and having illusions, really. Even if you want to advertise, you shouldn’t do it like this. 】
【 No pictures, you’re talking nonsense! 】
【 Even if it’s a Cultivation continent, your background is too fake. Which Mortal would mingle with Cultivators? Would that Mortal still be treated as a person? 】
Jing Baotian, who had gone out to eat, saw a comment like this, swallowed the Beef Pancake in his mouth, and then replied: 【 Not really. I’ve observed that although Mortals don’t interact much with Cultivators, it’s because we are in an edge area with thin Spiritual Energy, which is inherently Mortal territory. The closer you get to the territory of Major Sects, the fewer Mortals there are.
I don’t know about other Sects, but the territory we are in is managed by the Artifact Refining Sect, Flying Sparrow Sect. It should be quite strict. I haven’t found any conflicts between Cultivators and Mortals after wandering around in the Game. We also normally purchase supplies from Mortals. 】
Although Qi Refining Stage cultivators have stepped into the immortal path, it doesn’t mean they are no longer on the same path as Mortals.
That’s something only Qi Refining Stage cultivators born in the territory of Major Sects would consider. In this remote area, some disciples who have awakened Spiritual Roots even return home.
If you can’t Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, at most you’ll live for a few decades or a century with a healthy Body. What’s the difference from Mortals?
Only those with exceptionally good Spiritual Roots are poached by Major Sects, and it’s assumed they will have no connection to the mortal world for the rest of their lives.
As for cultivating the mind and such.
Don’t even think about it. Why consider so much at the Qi Refining Stage?
Major Sects monopolize resources, preventing Cultivators from advancing. Jing Baotian and the others even asked A Wu today why Qi Refining Stage cultivators don’t try to move to the territory of better Sects.
A Wu said that there are some distances between each Sect’s borders, and Demonic Beasts roam there.
What’s even more frightening are Rogue Cultivators who can harm people. How can you guarantee that you, a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, can successfully cross to the territory of a Major Sect?
This is already an invisible test of the Dao.
This method of monopoly is too familiar. What’s the difference from class monopoly?
Without Talent or ability, you are not allowed to rise in this life.
Therefore, the inferior will become more inferior, and the strong will become stronger.
Han Tian felt that this Yunzhou Continent was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
After commenting, he continued to eat his Beef Pancake.
Hmm, perhaps it wasn’t an Illusion. Although this Beef Pancake was freshly made, its texture was clearly not as solid as the one in the Game.
Truly marvelous.

“Wanqiu, are you going to today’s gathering?”
A stylishly dressed Female Colleague approached Dongfang Wanqiu’s workstation. Dongfang Wanqiu adjusted her highly myopic Glasses and shook her head, “I’m not going, not going.”
The Female Colleague was a bit curious, “Why aren’t you going? I heard a Leader will be coming down today. Aren’t you going to show yourself?”
“What’s there to show off at a mere gathering?” Dongfang Wanqiu’s mind was not on this at all. She felt a headache looking at the pile of Information in her hands. “I need to finish this and leave early this afternoon.”
Office workers are truly miserable.
The Female Colleague was even more curious, “What are you rushing back for? You’re not married and don’t have kids. Do you have a boyfriend?”
“No, I’m in a hurry to go back and play the Game.”
The Female Colleague: “…Huh?”
Dongfang Wanqiu was indeed in a hurry.
With the Game’s 2:1 time ratio, she hadn’t logged in since last night. She didn’t know how much time she had missed or what her Talent was like.
The Game she accidentally discovered last night was simply astonishing. Dongfang Wanqiu had never played such a fun Game in her life.
Holographic, realistic.
It’s just that she didn’t create her character well at the start, and the Senior Disciple Brother rejecting her based on her looks was too heartbreaking.
She was single, and her daily activities besides work were playing games for leisure.
She was supposed to stay up late last night, but in the middle of the night, the Boss went crazy and demanded a report. The life of a worker is truly bitter. To rush the report, she had no time for the Game and still needed to rest.
Today, the department also announced a gathering, and now she didn’t want to go at all.
What Leader, what not. If they don’t give her a promotion and a raise, it’s all meaningless.
The Female Colleague didn’t quite believe Dongfang Wanqiu was really rushing back to play the Game. She asked again, “You’re really not going? Aren’t you afraid that bald guy will cause trouble for you?”
“Whatever.” Dongfang Wanqiu gave a cold smile. “If that bald guy thinks he can still hire a workhorse like me at this Price, he can fire me.”
The world is big, but she also had to go back and play the Game.
The Female Colleague sighed, “That’s true. He wouldn’t dare to fire you. Alright then, if you’re not going, I won’t register your name.”
“Okay.”
After chatting with the Female Colleague, Dongfang Wanqiu looked at the Game Group she had joined last night.
To her surprise, Zhou Nüzi had individually asked her why she hadn’t logged in last night.
Dongfang Wanqiu had been busy with work until now and only saw it. She could only leave a message: 【 Sister, I’m a bitter working person. I can only log in after work this afternoon. 】
The other party quickly replied: 【 Sympathies. Then log in this afternoon. Big Shot Jing Baotian posted a website guide on Weibo. If you’re curious, you can take a look. It now records the places we’ve been, with maps and NPCs marked. 】
Mu Qiu: 【 OK. 】
No one can be immersed in the Game 24 hours a day; everyone has their own way of playing.
It was still early before work ended, so Dongfang Wanqiu opened Jing Baotian’s website and started slacking off while looking at the records.
At the same time, on the Yunzhou Continent, Song Jiulai also had to face his own troubles.
