Chapter 93: No Foreigners Accepted
Liang Xueyao invited Jiang Tianya to his home.
Jiang Tianya had been immersed in the game for several consecutive days and hadn’t gone out for days.
As soon as Liang Xueyao called him, he came over.
The two brothers, rarely, sat together and had afternoon tea.
Jiang Tianya sighed, “How long has it been since we sat together and had a good chat like this?”
This was only the change brought about by playing the game for less than ten days.
Liang Xueyao smiled. Indeed, after entering the game, he had become more open-minded and could even joke with Jiang Tianya now, “Brother, this game is really fun. I’m very grateful you came to find me back then.”
Jiang Tianya’s gaze swept over Liang Xueyao’s legs.
It was a pity that he had undergone direct amputation.
Otherwise…
After a long pause, Jiang Tianya chuckled and turned his head.
He might have truly become obsessed with the game, even having the thought, “If only the game were real.”
Liang Xueyao, who was beside him, suddenly spoke, “Have you felt any changes from playing the game too much recently?”
“No,” Jiang Tianya replied casually, “Why?”
“It’s nothing,” Liang Xueyao said upon hearing Jiang Tianya’s response. “When you play a game for too long, it’s sometimes hard to distinguish between reality and the game.”
Jiang Tianya nodded, “That’s right. It’s hard to tell with such a realistic game.”
As soon as they entered that world, they could easily immerse themselves in it.
However, because they possessed memories of the modern world, their thoughts would sometimes reflect a unique difference.
Liang Xueyao calculated, “How long do you think it will take for us to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage?”
Jiang Tianya replied, “That’s hard to say. With Mu Qiu and the others’ progress, it might take half a year in the game if things go fast, or slower… Who knows if we and the locals are on the same progress track?”
This was also why they didn’t quite consider themselves native cultivators.
They felt the game had given them a cheat.
Because according to the progress on the Yunzhou Continent, in a place like Wang’an County, players wouldn’t cultivate that fast even with great talent.
How many cultivators were at the Mid Qi Condensation Stage in the Flying Sparrow Sect?
In their game, they had already produced double digits in a month, and new ones were still appearing.
In terms of combat power alone, catching up to the Flying Sparrow Sect was only a matter of time, not impossibility.
Liang Xueyao, however, saw some other issues. “Do you think we’ll have some disagreements with the Flying Sparrow Sect later on? Players will only increase, and eventually, Wang’an County will be full of our people. The Flying Sparrow Sect can’t just stand by, can they?”
Jiang Tianya frowned, “The Sect Master should have a plan for this.”
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been allowed to develop freely.
Speaking of the Sect Master, Liang Xueyao also paid some attention to the real-life identity of ‘Song Jiulai’. “Have you found any problems yet?”
“Other than the possibility that they are the same person, I can’t find any reason why she would enter the game.”
Jiang Tianya thought for a moment, “Moreover, I think the country should have intervened. The news from my people indicates that information about Song Jiulai’s identity has been removed from public view. I’m not going to investigate further.”
Since the country had intervened, he couldn’t go against them.
Song Jiulai’s identity was originally very simple.
That’s why Jiang Tianya could easily find out about it.
If they also confirmed that she was the same person as Song Jiulai in the game, then it was obvious that Song Jiulai’s real-life identity had to be hidden.
To avoid trouble in the future when the game grew larger and the number of players increased.
“So, have some things been confirmed over there?” Liang Xueyao mused, “Uncle Wei also looked for me a while ago. I told him everything I knew. Honestly, I don’t care much about these things. I just want to know, what is the meaning of this game’s existence, and what is our significance to the Sect Master?”
Jiang Tianya thought for a moment, “We were very poor when we entered the game, remember? We had nothing. Of course, we’re still poor now. Perhaps… perhaps she just needs our help.”
Liang Xueyao’s gaze was a little lost, “Is it that simple?”
Jiang Tianya said, “I’m just guessing. If she has ties to the real-life Song Jiulai, and she’s from Huaxia, if it were me, I’d find people I could trust. The fact that this game started in our country, not abroad, shows something.”
That’s why the country wasn’t doing anything to this game now.
They would only act silently.
Such black technology, since it wanted to start from Huaxia, they had to seize the opportunity.
What if it fell into foreign hands?
Liang Xueyao thought of this and suddenly said strangely, “What if foreigners find out? There are quite a few foreigners in our country.”
Perhaps out of selfishness.
Liang Xueyao actually didn’t want foreigners to discover this game.
Even if they did, they should wait until their Huaxia had fully established a foothold inside.
It was still unknown how many game quotas the Sect would open later.
This game’s quota acquisition was primarily based on freedom and luck, which was unresolvable.
Jiang Tianya didn’t know either, “Perhaps the country will have countermeasures.”
Of course, the country had countermeasures.
The System only said that cheating was not allowed for acquisition, but it didn’t say they couldn’t hinder foreigners, right?
These game quotas would definitely not be available for foreigners to snatch in the current stage.
At least those foreigners who had clearly registered in the country were not allowed. As for others, like spies, that was indeed difficult to prevent.
They could only hope the game would filter them itself.
Although technology knows no borders, for a cultivation game, they, the people of Huaxia, should play enough first!
This game was currently being noticed by foreigners.
They all came from watching Han Tian’s live broadcast.
However, their interest in this game stemmed mainly from curiosity about Eastern cultivation, and because the video footage was too realistic, it had already been uploaded to major foreign websites.
This was because the Shattered Sect had previously posted on Weibo and it had trended, and quotas were quickly released.
The country was currently unsure if Song Jiulai needed this kind of popularity.
Therefore, they did not intercept it directly.
Song Jiulai did indeed need the energy conversion brought by popularity, but she had her own selfish motives when it came to screening people.
Those who grew up in Huaxia, even if they were mixed-race, as long as they were Huaxia nationals, she would screen them.
After all, the System couldn’t prevent too much.
Foreigners would absolutely not pass the test, especially regarding their identity and nationality.
This couldn’t be said to be Song Jiulai being discriminatory—who told her she was from Huaxia.
Of course, she would prioritize her own people first.
Currently, there were 100（99） Inner Disciples. New players who entered later would only be considered Outer Disciples.
Song Jiulai was still calculating these trivial matters when she encountered something that struck her like a bolt from the blue on the road.
It was a female cultivator rushing on her way.
She looked somewhat disheveled, and her aura was stronger than Song Jiulai’s, likely at the Late Qi Condensation Stage.
She was heading towards Wang’an County in the heavy snow and stopped when she encountered Song Jiulai.
“Your Excellency, are you from the Flying Sparrow Sect?”
