The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Cheng, carrying the "Early Morning Eight," charged into the bamboo forest once again.

Having learned from his previous experience, he was noticeably more skilled this time.

First, sidestep to avoid the charge, then strike repeatedly as the rabbit turns around. The rapier's attack speed is very fast; once the first strike hits, the subsequent strikes can follow smoothly.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Silver-white sword light flashed one after another. Before the second wandering hare could even turn around, Chi Cheng stabbed it all the way from the ridge into the bamboo thicket.

Defeat the wandering hare

[Received: Gray-backed stiff hair x2]

[Obtained: Rusty Iron Essence x1]

[Received: 9 Gold Coins]

"Two now!"

Chi Cheng gave himself a pep talk and turned to continue searching for the next rabbit.

For the next five minutes, tens of thousands of viewers in the live stream had the privilege of witnessing a truly sweat-drenched solo performance!

"Dodge! Followed by a basic attack! Parry! Great, it's in a stun state, I'm going to poke poke poke poke poke poke!"

"Wow, you run pretty fast!"

As the number of battles increased, he became more and more familiar with the rhythm of the rapier.

But after fighting for more than half the battle, the excitement on Chi Cheng's face gradually faded.

He glanced at Emperor Chi, who was still wearing patched hemp clothes, and then at the rusty "Early Morning" in his hand.

Chi Cheng controlled his character to spin around in place.

"My dear subjects, I always feel something's not quite right, like something's missing!"

Some viewers in the live chat were confused.

What's wrong?

[Wasn't that a lot of fun?]

[The streamer is doing great, their level has already increased, keep playing, it'll be quick!]

What are you lacking? Now you think it's a lack of opportunity?

Chi Cheng frowned but did not answer.

He then zoomed out a little further.

The bamboo forest after the rain is lush and secluded, with clouds and mist swirling in the distance.

The whole world was filled with an ethereal atmosphere, but the Heavenly Emperor Chi, standing in the center of the picture, looked as if he had just finished hoeing the fields at the village chief's house.

"wrong."

"Something is definitely missing."

Chi Cheng stared at the screen for a few seconds, then suddenly slapped his forehead.

"I see!"

"This is an online game!"

"Why am I playing it like a single-player game?"

"What do we have? Huh? My dear subjects, tell me loudly, what is the greatest and most exciting invention of modern online games?!"

Before the comments section could react, Chi Cheng had already moved the mouse to the upper right corner.

There, besides the character, backpack, and sword-raising interface, there is also a very inconspicuous small gold icon.

【Immortal Jade Trading Company】

"It's the recharge portal!!!"

The viewers in the live stream immediately displayed a barrage of question marks.

【what? 】

Didn't you just say you wanted to rely on yourself?

[The "personal" in "personal route" originally referred to a personal bank card?]

[I don't want the old man, I don't want the spirit pet, I absolutely need the recharge portal!]

Chi Cheng was completely unaffected.

"Don't confuse the concepts."

"I chose the individual path, which means I don't rely on innate opportunities to improve my strength."

"Buying some clothes, does that count as having someone to rely on?"

"This is called improving one's personal cultivation environment!"

After he finished speaking, he directly opened the merchant's website.

The next second, the originally simple game interface quickly unfolded.

A dazzling array of goods are neatly arranged on the screen.

There are no tacky pop-up ads for getting a divine weapon with your first recharge, nor are there banners proclaiming VIP15 critical hits with every strike.

The entire store interface is very clean and elegant!

Against a backdrop of ink-wash painting style, various merchandise is displayed in different categories: Buddhist images, sword tassels, sword aura, and trailing sword tails...

Below each category, there are also many products that can be previewed individually.

Ink-wash style sword tassel, red rope copper coin sword tassel, cloud pattern jade pendant, setting sun tassel, shattered jade of the Milky Way...

The statues depict people in white robes, black robes, tight-fitting clothes, long gowns, bamboo hats, capes, and even several sets of simple-looking village clothing.

Chi Cheng was incredibly excited as he watched this scene!

"Good heavens, Chao Xi is a real conscientious capitalist!"

"The shop is full of cosmetic items that don't add any attributes whatsoever! They don't affect the game's balance in the slightest!"

"However..."

Chi Cheng looked at the ethereal, gorgeous costumes and special effects, and a wild smile crept across his face.

"Just what I wanted!"

"This is how online games should be played!"

The live chat immediately alerted them.

[There are no attribute bonuses, so why buy it?]

Even if you buy it, you still have to hunt rabbits!

[You've spent all your money, but the refining progress hasn't changed!]

"So what?"

Chi Cheng spoke with righteous indignation.

"What does it matter to me that I can't beat a rabbit, or that I can't fight a rabbit in a cool way?"

"Cultivation can be developed gradually."

"The image must be perfect from the start!"

"Today, I will show you what it means for money to break through all limitations!"

Chi Cheng scanned the code and used facial recognition with great skill.

"Ding!"

[Recharge successful! You have received: 1000 Spirit Jade!]

"Just a small top-up, it's not expensive! Consider it treating that old scoundrel Jiang to a good meal!"

He first opened the sword tassel page.

With a swipe of the mouse, the player directly selected a red longsword with a tassel called "Crimson Clouds". A small jade piece with cloud patterns hung at the end of the tassel, which swayed gently with the sword as the character moved.

"This is good."

"Red, festive."

"It can also suppress the resentment from 8 a.m.

[Should I spend 18 Spirit Jade to purchase "Crimson Clouds"?]

"Eighteen yuan?"

"It's nothing, who sells clothes this cheaply?"

Chi Cheng clicked to buy without hesitation.

Purchase successful

The next second, a bright red tassel appeared at the end of the originally bare hilt of the "Zao Ba" sword.

Chi Cheng controlled his character and swung his sword twice.

The red tassels swayed rapidly amidst the sword light, and combined with the rapier's originally light and swift attack movements, the visual effect was instantly improved.

"See that?"

Was it worth spending those eighteen yuan?

Before the comments could even respond, he had already switched to the fashion page.

"Since we're already here..."

"Buying only sword tassels makes it seem like I lack spending power."

Chi Cheng flipped through several pages in a row.

The white outfit looks too much like a beginner's gift pack.

The black robe also seemed somewhat heavy.

"Look at these clothes first! This [Purple Immortal Robe] won't do, it's too old-fashioned. This [Mysterious Netherworld Demon Armor] won't do either, it's too juvenile..."

Chi Cheng's gaze suddenly locked onto a set of clothes with a main moon white tone, dark gold cloud patterns inlaid on the edges, and a semi-transparent fairy aura surrounding the back.

【Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Robe】!

Most importantly, this outfit is paired with a gold beaded hat.

Several thin gold threads hung from the front of the hat brim, with slightly shimmering white beads hanging from the ends. When the character moved, the beaded curtain would sway gently, just enough to cover half of the face that Chi Cheng had casually sculpted.

"It exudes wealth in its understated manner."

"Hiding extraordinary qualities within wealth and status."

"Holy crap! There's no need to choose, isn't this mine for me?"

"This is it! Buy it! Wearing this, who would dare say I'm a beggar from the village?"

"This matches my personality perfectly!"

Purchase successful

"And this, the most crucial one, the attack effects!"

Chi Cheng opened the special effects panel, where a dazzling array of sword aura dyes were displayed.

There were fiery red, ghostly green, dazzling gold... but he swiped straight to the bottom and selected a very flashy and exceptionally eye-catching color: [Neon Cherry Blossom]!

"We are sword cultivators, brothers!"

While frantically emptying his shopping cart, Chi Cheng loudly preached in the live stream:

"What is a sword cultivator? It's someone who rides the wind on a sword, vanquishing demons across the land! It's cool! It's dashing! It's prestigious!"

"If you don't have flashy moves, your sword swings don't have any trailing effects, and you don't walk with lightning speed, you're simply not qualified to be a swordsman!!"
