Global Games: Reporting the Great Ascension Stage at the Start

There are many top-tier sects in the game, with three or four in each state.

But in reality, only three companies can truly radiate influence across the country and possess national-level strength.

The three sects, ranked by size, are: Taiping Sect, Huanglao Sect, and Fangxian Sect.

The Taiping Sect specializes in appealing to the common people, and most of its disciples come from rural and urban backgrounds. Wang Yun, a direct descendant of a prominent family, is considered to have one of the best backgrounds within the sect.

If it weren't for her father, Wang Feng, suffering neglect and bullying within the family, Wang Yun would most likely not have joined the Taiping Sect and would have been more likely to have joined the Huang Lao Dao sect.

The Huang-Lao Dao and the Fang-Xian Dao are completely rooted in the upper class, and their believers are basically court nobles, officials and gentry.

The Taipingmen uprising against the Han dynasty immediately put them on the opposite side of the Huang-Lao Dao and Fang-Xian Dao.

The three top righteous sects instantly became bitter enemies, and conflict was imminent.

In this situation, the happiest are naturally the demonic forces that have been suppressed by the righteous path for many years.

But the trend had already begun.

"The Blue Heaven is dead; the Yellow Heaven shall rise."

The Great Teacher of Virtue had long been fed up with the corruption of the recommendation system at the end of the Han Dynasty and the chaos of hereditary official positions. He took the lead in raising the banner of rebellion in Julu.

Heroes from all over the world resonated with this sentiment and flocked to respond.

Shen Hua had long been aware of these changes in the situation.

With the Yellow Turban Rebellion sweeping across the land, how could he not have been mentally prepared before joining the Yellow Turbans at this critical juncture?

But it was precisely because Taipingmen was at the forefront of the chaos of the world, the eye of the storm within the eye of the storm, with the most turbulent situation and the most opportunities, that he joined in.

……

After saying goodbye to his senior uncle Lu, Shen Hua slowly walked into the three-story building that had been assigned to him.

"Taipingmen is indeed a grand project!" Shen Hua thought to himself, looking at everything inside the building.

They recruited two or three thousand disciples at once, and each one was assigned such a comfortable private cave dwelling. Compared to Green Bamboo Mountain back then, it was like night and day.

In his previous life, when he first entered Green Bamboo Mountain, he slept on the floor of the sect's main hall for a long time because there wasn't enough accommodation.

My gaze swept across the wooden building.

The building was clean and elegant, with all the daily necessities for the cultivators, and the tables, chairs and desks were spotless.

Standing by the window and gazing out, to the east lies a vast lake, its waters crystal clear and rippling gently. Willows sway gracefully along the shore, and occasionally a graceful bird flies by, creating a tranquil scene reminiscent of a secluded paradise.

In the distance, a group of disciples in yellow robes could be seen sitting by the lake fishing. They seemed to have caught something enormous, and they were all dancing with excitement.

"He's obviously a gamer," Shen Hua thought to himself with amusement.

At this point, NPCs wouldn't have the time to fish. Only players who have nothing to do would fish to kill time.

After briefly familiarizing himself with the room, Shen Hua calmed down, took out the scrapped black iron puppet, and once again devoted himself to the research and development of the medicine-refining puppet.

The alchemy puppet is of paramount importance.

Without the alchemy puppet, Shen Hua could only be a top-tier laborer.

By inventing the alchemy puppet, he could turn the tables and become the boss, ruthlessly squeezing out the puppet's remaining value!

Being a boss earns you much more than being an employee. As long as you can successfully refine it, it's all worth the effort and thought.

Moreover, he was confident that he could successfully refine it.

Crafting puppets is itself a branch of weapon crafting.

He chose to join the Taiping Sect for two reasons: firstly, he coveted the various top-tier treasures that the sect could exchange for, and secondly, he wanted to exchange and learn from the sect's expert weapon refiners.

Even though these people's actual level is far inferior to his, they each have their own ideas and insights.

As the saying goes, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me something." Perhaps one of them can provide inspiration and help him make up for the key shortcomings in puppet making.

……

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and the game time was about to run out.

Just ten minutes before the forced shutdown, the system popped up a notification:

The Sect Recruitment event has ended. The Dungeon system will officially launch at midnight on February 8th, Blue Star time.

"Finally, the dungeon is open." Shen Hua's heart skipped a beat.

Dungeons and scenario quests are similar; both involve entering a separate space to fight monsters and earn rewards upon completion.

However, the differences are obvious: scenario-based tasks can only be completed by a single person, while dungeons must be completed in a team, with a limit of 2-5 people.

The dungeon refreshes monthly, and the first server-wide clear rewards are exceptionally generous, also including an opportunity to shout out in the server-wide chat.

Shen Hua doesn't want to miss out on either rewards or exposure.

Especially since he was announcing to the entire server that he was worried about what to do with the [Black Leather Hands], he decided to take advantage of the first-clear popularity to sell it off.

But all of that is three days from now, let's log off first.

At 10:00 AM on February 4th, Shen Hua exited the game and his consciousness returned to his rented apartment in reality.

As soon as he logged off, he immediately focused his mind and examined himself.

Sure enough, his natal magic weapon, [Entropy Increase], had taken firm root in his body.

Although ten days have passed in the game, according to the real timeline, this flying sword was only just completed today.

With a thought, [Entropy Increase] instantly flew out of his body and slowly hovered in mid-air above the rented house.

This was its first appearance in the real world, and the blazing firelight turned the walls inside the house a bright red.

Looking at his natal flying sword, which was radiating intense spiritual light, Shen Hua nodded in satisfaction.

"receive."

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the flames subsided, and the flying sword transformed into a stream of light, disappearing back into his body.

"I'm not going to cultivate today, I need to go somewhere."

Shen Hua put on a cotton coat, walked to the window and looked into the distance, already having made up his mind.

After logging off, he would always practice the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" twice without fail, which would take about four hours.

The rest of the time is spent eating, resting, letting home to let them know I'm safe, and waiting to go online again.

But today is different. Now that he has his natal magic weapon, he has an important matter to attend to.

……

An hour later, Shen Hua rode a second-hand motorcycle on the national highway leading out of the city.

The car is very cheap, only a few hundred yuan, just enough for getting around.

"Lingang Village, this should be it."

After riding for a short while, he parked his motorcycle at the entrance of a village next to the national highway.

This village is called "Lingang Village".

The village is bustling right now; everyone has just logged off from the game and is gathered together chatting and discussing.

Shen Hua closed his eyes and quietly sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him.

There were faint fluctuations of spiritual energy in the village, but those were emanating from ordinary villagers.

What truly caught his attention was the distinctly different, unusually pervasive spiritual energy fluctuation emanating from the outskirts of the village.

This unusual spiritual power was precisely what he had come to find.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his expression brightening with joy.

Without hesitation, I turned off the engine, removed the key, and walked briskly along the village path towards the east side of the village.

On a small hillside at the east end of the village, Shen Hua found a newly dug cave.

The soil at the entrance of the cave is still very fresh, indicating that it was only recently dug.

Standing in front of the cave, Shen Hua nodded to himself: "This is the place."

He took out a golden [Water Shield Technique] talisman and slapped it onto his body. At the same time, with a thought, his natal magic weapon [Entropy Increase] burst forth from the sky, transforming into a streak of fire that pierced straight into the depths of the cave.
