Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

"That's enough for today." Shen Hua checked the system time; there were only 15 minutes left until the end.

The medicine has been brewing for 10 days, and it's finally finished!

Looking at my backpack, I realized I had indeed made quite a haul these past few days.

In these 10 days, Shen Hua refined a total of 12 batches of Qi Gathering Pills, one of which he deliberately failed.

In addition, he also refined two batches of "Grain-Breaking Pills" and two batches of "Essence-Nourishing Pills".

【Bigu Dan】is made by compressing refined flour with spiritual energy, somewhat similar to modern compressed biscuits, but much more effective. Eating one pill can satisfy a day's worth of calories without making you hungry.

With the [Grain-Breaking Pill], he no longer needs to eat those unpalatable foods in the game.

As for the "Nourishing Essence Pill," as the name suggests, it is used to nourish energy and restore physical strength.

One pill will refresh your mind, two pills will keep you from getting tired, and three pills will grant you immortality!

Well, "never tired" and "immortal" are a bit of an exaggeration, but it can definitely refresh the mind and has a nourishing effect on the spirit, making people less prone to fatigue and full of energy.

Returning to the [Gathering Qi Pill], because Shen Hua can reliably produce "Spiritual Essence," which is a green-quality pill, he can earn about 15 spirit stones per batch.

Now, he has more than 130 low-grade spirit stones in his backpack, as well as 4 green ones, 3 golden-green ones, and 9 ordinary ones.

If the leaders of the big guilds in the newbie village saw this amount of money, they would probably be astonished.

Don't be fooled by their wealth; they've all bought a lot of spirit stones from players with real-world money. But their expenses are also high, and they might not have as much as Shen Hua.

"I won't refine the Qi Gathering Pill tomorrow; I'll refine something else instead," Shen Hua thought to himself, opening the game panel and exiting the game.

"Tomorrow I can refine the Yellow Dragon Pill, which is also a suitable medicine for my current level, and I can take it in combination with other medicines... In addition, I can also refine some Beauty Pills that female cultivators like to give to my senior sister... Finally, I also need to get started with weapon crafting, I can't just focus on medicine."

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Hua had already exited the game.

……

……

He regained consciousness and returned to his bed in the real world.

Looking at the bedroom ceiling, which felt both strange and familiar, Shen Hua felt a moment of disorientation.

At the same time, the noise of the city outside the window gradually rose.

Everyone logs off at the same fixed time, and the once quiet city immediately becomes lively.

The opening hours for the game "Ascension" are fixed.

Taking the Huaxia region as an example, the opening time is fixed at midnight Beijing time and continues until 10:00 AM. No more waiting after that time.

If someone missed the game... well, so what? The game isn't going to stay open for longer for these people.

If a player dies in the game, they will be forcibly logged off and forced to face the lonely real world alone until the penalty period is over.

Hearing the growing sounds of people outside, Shen Hua did not rush to get up, but instead first examined his internal organs.

Within his dantian, a wisp of spiritual energy, as thin as duck down, swam slowly, like a small fish swimming in a giant lake.

The down was a bit coarser than it was on the first day of the game, but not by much.

That's how cultivation works; you have to hone your strength little by little.

……

Shen Hua comfortably rolled over in bed, then opened his phone to see what netizens were discussing online.

Now Zhihu, forums, Tieba, and other major online communities are all bustling with activity. Players who have just logged off are still in high spirits and will immediately go online to discuss with others.

Shen Hua's phone kept buzzing with notifications.

Upon opening it, I found it was one of his most frequent gaming groups, but it was just a small group of a few people.

People in the group are chatting:

[Xiao Xiang]: "Is everyone up? This game is so realistic!"

【Hinako-hime No. 1】: "It's so realistic, it feels like a real world!"

【咕咕嘎嘎】: "It's so real, it's almost unbelievable."

【Hinako-hime No. 1】: "It feels like our lifespans have increased tenfold in the last five years!"

[Xiao Xiang]: "I can't wait to go back in and play!"

【咕咕嘎嘎】: "What's the rush? You only get 10 days inside the game, but only 14 hours outside. Cherish the outside world, you might get tired of it and want to come out!"

[Xiao Xiang]: "That's true... By the way, what if someone deliberately sabotages the game when everyone is playing?"

【Higusa-hime No. 1】: "Uh, I was going to say no, after all, it would waste my game time, which would be a loss... but considering that the world is full of wonders, it's hard to say."

【咕咕嘎嘎】: "Everyone should close and lock their doors and windows."

[Anonymous User]: "I'd like to ask, in the game, are there any sects like the Hehuan Sect?"

[Xiao Xiang]: "[Sweating cat emoji] Your question..."

【咕咕嘎嘎】: "Come check out this amazing post! Lots of players are discussing the situation on foreign servers in this thread, it's very informative! [Link]"

Upon seeing this, Shen Hua clicked on the link.

The link is to a post that was just published on a forum. Initially, a player was sharing some strange and unusual experiences he had had:

[Romeo and Kublai Khan]: "Everyone, I am a player from the demon race, located in the mountains of the southwest."

"Do you guys know what our tribe was discussing yesterday? They were actually talking about how 'humans' diverse cooking methods are seriously hindering the development of our tribe'! It's hilarious!"

There were a lot of replies below.

First floor: [Link's Four Big Dumplings]: "Nonsense, the food in the game is so awful, how can this be a control mechanic?"

Second Floor: [Liao Da Yongheng]: "It's just that the cooking technique is bad. High-grade monster meat should taste good, right?"

Then it started veering off course from the third floor:

[Falling in Love with My Brother's Wife]: "Are all the demon race players living in the mountains of the west?"

[Romeo and Kublai Khan] replied to [Falling in Love with My Brother's Wife]: "That should be true. The human race, the demon race, and the celestial race are all within the territory of the original Three Kingdoms, while the demon race is on the outskirts."

【Falling in Love with My Brother's Wife】: "Haha, does anyone know what the situation is like on foreign servers? Our game is set in the Three Kingdoms period, so the foreign servers can't possibly be too, right?"

[North American Corpse Collector] replied to [Falling in Love with My Brother's Wife]: "I'm on the US server, just downloaded the game, and the Americans are from the World of Warcraft background."

[White-Robed Battle Gan] replied to [Falling in Love with Brother's Wife]: "I'm playing in England, it's a Lord of the Rings setting, Europe should all be like that."

【Viking Pyruo】 replied to 【White-Robed Battler Gan】: "No, it's not in Northern Europe, but they also practice magic here. The magic spells almost made me laugh to death! The first magic spell I learned, literally translated, is—'Come and form a water sphere, thank you, water elemental brothers!'"

[White-Robed Battler Gan] replied to [Viking Pyruo]: "Uh..."

[Falling in Love with My Brother's Wife]: "That Japanese one, could it be from the Naruto universe?"

【炫倭名仁】 replied to 【爱上兄弟妻子】: "Japan also has a Three Kingdoms background, and the leader is Queen Himiko. I am a demon, and I am currently a black bear in Hokkaido."

[Yu Ban Mikoto] replied to [Xuan Wo Mingren]: "That's not right, you're just providing false information! The west is indeed the Three Kingdoms period, but the east is set in A Certain Magical Index, a niche novel that many people probably haven't even heard of."

【Fran)(Da】 replied to 【Xuanwo Mingren】: "The east and west of Japan are separate and there is a barrier between them. In the game, someone formed the 'Grigor's Choir' to launch a 'Holy Spell Bombardment' against the Himiko Royal Court in Kansai, but they couldn't get through the barrier in the middle."

[Persian Cat Kicks an Owl]: "What about the Indian clothes? Is anyone over there?"

[Bengal Monitor Lizard] replied to [Persian Cat Kicking Owl]: "Sigh, let's not even talk about India, Delhi is unforgiving!"
