This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

He just chose the wrong target.

She kissed the bride in front of the groom, and then killed the groom...

When it comes to having fun, you have to look to the rich kids!

Jiang Liu's gaze towards Li Dongze changed; he had also unlocked the immersive experience and met the city lord's daughter.

But... he used this function to practice actual combat, and he didn't even glance at the city lord's daughter lying dead on the ground.

Then look at Li Dongze, he's directly targeting the 18+ category!

Is this a difference in values? He truly felt the gap between himself and Li Dongze.

A thousand words can be summed up in one sentence.

"Brother Ze, we don't do NTR!"

Jiang Liu earnestly advised, "We've been friends for over two years through gaming, and I really don't want to see my good brother go astray."

"What are you thinking? That's not what I meant!"

Li Dongze felt uneasy under Jiang Liu's gaze and hurriedly explained, "I just wanted to test where the game's limits are, in case I cross the line and get banned."

"Besides, don't you want to try out some adult content?"

18+ gameplay...

hiss......

Jiang Liu briefly imagined in his mind: immersive experience, endlessly repeating levels, NPCs that are just like real people, powerful strength, and... a sense of privacy that will never be leaked!

I am!

This cultivation game is turning into an 18+ adult game!

That won't do.

"Of course I don't want to!"

Jiang Liu vehemently denied it, declaring with righteous indignation, "I am sworn enemies of gambling, drugs, and prostitution; I am single-mindedly pursuing immortality and have no interest in personal relationships!"

That's really what he thought, otherwise he wouldn't have used the immersive experience feature to repeatedly practice in real combat.

If Li Dongze hadn't said that, he would never have associated the Immortal Cultivation Era with adult pornography.

That's outrageous! How can these things be connected?

"Heh, what are you pretending to be, you big Israeli wolf?"

Li Dongze looked at Jiang Liu with disdain: "You just don't understand what it means to be immersed in something, otherwise you would have pounced on me even faster!"

"Oh, by the way, the immersive experience requires VIP1 to unlock, and you need to sign in for 200 days."

He was also angered by Jiang Liu's shameless words and retorted sarcastically.

Two hundred days of check-ins?

You've really never played the 0.1% off version of the game... Oh, he really hasn't.

Jiang Liu ignored his taunts and retorted, "Have you beaten the Lingyun Sect senior brother from level 1 to 6?"

"No... huh?"

Li Dongze replied subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and asked in surprise, "How do you know that levels 1-6 are against the senior brother of the Lingyun Sect?"

"Because I've reached the fifth level of Qi Refining."

Jiang Liu said casually, "The monsters numbered 1-7 are the outer elders of the Lingyun Sect, the old man sitting in the back. He's the toughest to beat. If I didn't have a top-grade water spirit root, I really don't know who would have won."

Li Dongze: "??????"

Qi Refining Level 5?

Have you passed 1-7?

Top-grade water spirit root?

Li Dongze was completely stunned, staring blankly at Jiang Liu with an expression of disbelief on his face. He couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible! Where did you get so many spirit stones!"

He went home and asked his father for over a thousand spirit stones, bought all the gift packs he could, and even scoured the entire shop before finally reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining.

After reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, repeatedly working through the storyline. In the end, he couldn't handle it anymore and switched his focus to the bride.

In less than a day since the server opened, he had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, surpassing all others in the school. He was convinced that his cultivation level must be the best in the entire school, and he became arrogant. If his father hadn't told him to keep a low profile, he would have come to school in the morning dressed in a set of magical artifacts and wearing wings to become famous.

He figured he could keep a low profile, since he wasn't exactly a rich kid who liked to mess around, but he just couldn't resist showing off, so he set his sights on Jiang Liu.

When he played games with Jiang Liu, he often spent a lot of money to buy equipment, and Jiang Liu's envious and jealous expression made him feel extremely good.

Today, he had the same plan: to see Jiang Liu's envious and jealous expressions and to reap some emotional benefits.

However, instead of gaining emotional value, Jiang Liu dealt him a heavy blow.

Top-grade water elemental root!

He didn't get it!

I don't believe it! Absolutely not!

He knew Jiang Liu's family background perfectly well; although they weren't destitute, they definitely couldn't afford spirit stones.

How could he possibly have a top-grade water elemental root? How could he possibly have completed the 1-7 storyline?

"You found it on the forum, didn't you!"

Li Dongze thought he had guessed the correct answer, rolled his eyes, and said irritably, "Trying to show off with information from the internet, huh? You almost fooled me."

Jiang Liu: "......"

Jiang Liu didn't reply. Instead, he silently switched to the Immortal Cultivation Era and sent Li Dongze a friend request: "Come on, add me as a friend."

Li Dongze looked at Jiang Liu suspiciously and added Jiang Liu as a friend in the Immortal Cultivation Era.

Then, he saw a character panel sent to him, and the moment he opened it, he felt like he had been struck by lightning.

VIP1, Qi Refining Level 5, Top-Grade Water Spiritual Root!

Li Dongze stared intently at the character panel, recalling what he had just boasted to Jiang Liu. His face instantly turned red, then green, then black, performing a classic face-changing act.

The former gaming nobodies have made a comeback!

Chapter 16: The Deal, Worth Over 10,000!

Li Dongze was stunned. He glanced at the character panel in the Immortal Cultivation Era, then switched back to reality to look at Jiang Liu. He repeated this several times before he was truly certain.

Jiangliu has really developed!

"Where did you get the spirit stones? Where did you get the top-grade water spirit root?"

Li Dongze stared intently at Jiang Liu, his voice extremely low: "Selling a kidney? Worthless. Selling your body? Worthless. You didn't borrow money from loan sharks, did you?"

What kind of kidney value is a VIP1? A rich woman weighing several hundred pounds can produce a top-grade water spirit root to nourish Jiang Liu.

His family is in business, so they naturally know about loans. Only usury can explain why Jiang Liu became rich overnight.

Which loan shark can produce so many spirit stones? Tell me about it.

"No."

Jiang Liu delivered the answer he had prepared long ago: "I used my and my grandfather's sign-in spirit stones to do a single draw in the permanent pool and got a high-grade magic weapon, which I immediately put up for sale on Taobao."

"I used the spirit stones from selling high-grade magic artifacts to draw cards again, and then drew another high-grade magic artifact, which I sold instantly."

"I got lucky and got some spirit stones. I was planning to draw a few more magic artifacts to sell, but who would have thought I'd get a top-grade water spirit root in one go."

"Sigh, things went a bit wrong later on. All the remaining spirit stones were thrown into the permanent pool and didn't even float to the surface. It was all a waste."

Jiang Liu sighed as he spoke, his face full of heartache.

This answer perfectly explains why he has VIP1 and a top-tier water elemental root.

I was lucky; all I can say is that I was lucky.

Li Dongze's face darkened upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, his eyes blazing with undisguised envy, jealousy, and hatred.

He finally understood Jiang Liu's story of how he rose to power.

Use the spirit stones obtained from daily check-ins to draw a superior-grade magic weapon, sell it, draw another superior-grade magic weapon, sell that too, and then draw a top-grade spiritual root.

He managed to turn the dozen or so spirit stones he received from signing in into thousands of spirit stones.

Good heavens, you can produce top-grade magic artifacts just like that, and a top-grade spiritual root can be obtained in one shot. Do you own the permanent residence pool?

For others, the permanent pool is a bottomless abyss, but for you it's a supply channel, right?

Li Dongze was genuinely resentful. He had also drawn from the permanent pool more than twenty times, but he hadn't even seen a top-grade spiritual root, let alone a magic weapon. All he got were white meteors.

After seeing the gacha rates for the permanent gacha pool, he assumed everyone would have the same rates.

But I never expected that people are different.

The difference between being lucky and unlucky is like heaven and earth!

Li Dongze glared at Jiang Liu with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and after a long pause, he finally managed to utter a sentence: "You're really awesome!"

He was speechless. What could he say? It was just that the arena wasn't open yet, otherwise he would have insisted on challenging Jiang Liu to a battle in the arena.

It's not a turn-based battle between two-dimensional characters; it's a real, hard-fought fight.

That's too much!

In Jiang Liu's hands, this cultivation game is played in a completely different way!

"You're awesome too."

Jiang Liu chuckled inwardly, patted Li Dongze on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Your family is rich enough to support your cultivation, at least enough to keep up with my progress."

He told Li Dongze about his situation simply to spread the word through Li Dongze that he was awesome because of Ou, so that no one would doubt the source of his spirit stones anymore.

He wants to portray himself as a pure "lucky king" to hide the fact that he's using a 0.1% discount version of the app. This plan starts now, and eventually, people will only focus on his "lucky king" persona.

After all, it's impossible for anyone to find his game spending records.

Li Dongze: "......"

My family has billions of dollars to catch up with an average student's progress? Bah!
