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

His practical experience has greatly improved, and his swordsmanship, body movements, and footwork have all become more refined. He has almost figured out a fighting style that suits him.

However, he was still almost instantly killed!

It's not a difference in skill level, nor a difference in equipment; it's simply a difference in combat experience!

After much contemplation, Jiang Liu quickly had an epiphany and sighed silently.

He was too arrogant.

"I only have a few hours of practical experience. How can I compare to the senior disciples of sects in the cultivation world?"

Jiang Liu shook his head with a wry smile. A few hours of real combat experience?

They have several years, even decades, of practical experience!

With such a huge gap, expecting to clear the game in one go is pure wishful thinking.

"Once the immersive experience is activated, you can no longer treat the cultivation era as a game..."

Jiang Liu murmured to himself, when suddenly a thought struck him: if that's the case, could he win without using the immersive experience mode?

His curiosity was piqued, so he clicked into level 1-10 again.

This time, the immersive experience wasn't activated; instead, the normal mode was used.

In levels 1-10, two paper figures stand facing each other, one on the left and one on the right.

Turn-based combat begins.

first round.

Jiang Liu's paper doll used the Heart-Piercing Drop on the senior disciple of Lingyun Sect. The senior disciple failed to dodge and was hit.

The senior disciple of Lingyun Sect used the Three Deadly Bodies technique, splitting one body into three.

Round two.

Jiang Liu's paper doll used the Heart-Piercing Drop on his senior brother's clone, causing the clone to die.

The eldest disciple and his clone attacked Jiang Liu together, but the clone's attack was blocked by the Spirit Rhinoceros Pendant.

Round three.

Jiang Liu, the paper doll, kills another clone.

The eldest brother used the Lingyun Sword Technique on Jiang Liu and was hit.

Round four.

Jiang Liu, a paper doll, used the Heart-Piercing Drop on his senior brother, and was hit.

The eldest brother used the Lingyun Sword Technique on Jiang Liu's paper doll and was hit.

Round 5.

【Battle Victory】

[Gained cultivation points...]

Chapter 26 Boss Wang Wants to Treat Everyone

When Jiang Liu saw the words "victory in battle," he was completely stunned.

I was personally subjected to indiscriminate killing.

The paper dolls are played in turn-based mode and can be cleared in one go.

So I'm not even as good as a paper cutout!

Jiang Liu knew that he had extremely high attributes because he was equipped with eight magical artifacts, but they were just not showing up.

The reason he couldn't beat the senior brother of Lingyun Sect wasn't a matter of cultivation level, equipment, or magic; it was simply a matter of his personal combat experience!

He couldn't win even with eight magical artifacts, but the paper doll with eight magical artifacts beat him in one go...

To be honest, he was really hit hard.

Jiang Liu felt a bit bored and had no interest in training in levels 1-10, so he quit the cultivation era directly.

Leaving behind the era of cultivation, our focus returns to the classroom.

By this time, it was already dark outside, and the bright moonlight bathed the ground. Looking out the window, the school buildings were still brightly lit.

Even though it was late at night, the students in the class still didn't stop, practicing every minute and every second.

Once a cultivator enters a meditative state, cultivation becomes as simple as breathing, and the restlessness they feel is long gone.

Only if you can endure loneliness can you maintain prosperity.

When cultivating immortality, it's common to meditate for a day or two, let alone go into seclusion for several years at a stretch.

Although we haven't heard of anyone going into seclusion for several years at a time, as one's cultivation level continues to rise, there will inevitably be instances where someone disappears for several years without being seen.

After all, this is what cultivating immortality is all about.

After Jiang Liu withdrew from the Immortal Cultivation Era, he didn't make any noise. After glancing at the other classmates, he also began to concentrate on practicing the Three Revolutions Profound Technique.

It takes 20 cultivation points to go from the eighth to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Even he would be stuck for several days, cultivating and taking medicine at the same time, in order to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining as quickly as possible.

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

It was bright.

Warm sunlight streamed into the classroom. Some students went to the restroom, some went to the cafeteria, and some remained energetic.

The commotion in the classroom also startled Jiang Liu, who had been immersed in cultivation. As he sensed the arrival of the next day, he re-entered the era of cultivation.

I collected the monthly card spirit stones, the sign-in spirit stones, and completed the resource dungeon once. I also received spirit stones from Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Zhao via mail.

Earning 24 spirit stones in one day!

After harvesting the crops, Jiang Liu used the spirit stones to buy foundation stones and threw them into the furnace, instantly filling one-third of the progress for perfect foundation building.

In two more days, he will achieve perfect Foundation Establishment.

Jiang Liu was very dissatisfied with the fact that the server was in a slump by the third day after it opened, as he would log off after spending all his spirit stones.

"What game launches a new server without any content? Do they even know how to make a game?"

He couldn't help but complain.

Leaving aside the screen full of pay-to-win packages and events, you should at least offer something in return.

On the second day after the server opened, they launched a launch event, which was basically just an event where all they did was throw money at it.

Is this game not being operated?

They threw the Foundation Building event on the second day after the server opened, and didn't release any other events. This operation is terrible. Did they not graduate from college?

Do we not need KPIs such as player count or online time?

Hmm, thinking about it, it seems like we really don't need it...

Jiang Liuzhen couldn't figure out what the operators of the Immortal Cultivation Era were thinking, and even if he could, he couldn't control it. After throwing the spirit stones into the Foundation Establishment activity, he entered a state of cultivation again.

He has now reached the second stage of the Three Revolutions Profound Technique. With the addition of other miscellaneous cultivation speed boosts, he gained more than 10,000 cultivation points yesterday alone, which is simply off the charts!

I want to cultivate!

Don't come near me!

"The river flows, the river flows."

"Don't touch me!"

"Boss Wang from Huihuang Bathhouse is looking for you."

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu opened his eyes, turned to look at Li Dongze, and frowned, asking, "What does he want with me?"

"I'll treat you to a meal."

Li Dongze shrugged: "After you told me about that yesterday, I called my dad. I don't know how he handled it, but early this morning, Mr. Wang from Huihuang Bathhouse called me and said he wanted to treat us to dinner."

Jiang Liu: "......"

He's a true brother! He just mentioned it casually, but Li Dongze took it seriously and even contacted our... his dad. He doesn't know how to thank Li Dongze enough.

"Can we go?"

Jiang Liu didn't understand these things and couldn't tell whether this was an apology banquet or a trap.

"Go for it! The big boss himself has spoken up. If we don't go, wouldn't we be disrespecting him?"

Li Dongze said nonchalantly, "It's just a meal, what are you going to do, kill us or something?"

Jiang Liu comes from an ordinary family, so it's normal for him to be wary of a big boss who runs a bathhouse. But he's not afraid of anything. His family is in the real estate business, at the top of the food chain. Boss Wang's bathhouse was bought from his family.

"alright."

Seeing Li Dongze's fearless appearance, Jiang Liu thought to himself, "If he's not afraid, why should I, with my Qi Refining Level 8 and eight magical artifacts, be afraid?"

"Where to eat?"

"Brilliant Bathhouse".

"Oh ho, you didn't go yet."

noon.

Jiang Liu and Li Dongze arrived at the Brilliant Bathhouse on the Second Ring Road of the city. Looking at this seven-story, magnificent, and imposing bathhouse, their expressions were somewhat timid.

Outside the glass doors of the bathhouse stood four voluptuous hostesses dressed in bright red cheongsams, their legs wrapped in stockings, and their feet in high heels. They greeted guests with "Welcome!" and "Welcome back again!" as they came and went. Their sweet, tender voices made the two of them feel weak in the knees.

Jiang Liu had never seen anything like this before. He was just an ordinary high school student, and the little money he had wasn't even enough to buy instant noodles or go online. When had he ever been to a bathhouse?

Li Dongze is indeed wealthy, but he has never been promiscuous since childhood. His only hobby is playing video games, and he has never been to a bathhouse.

The two young men stood outside the Brilliant Bathhouse, watching the portly guests come and go. They stared at the long legs of the hostess for a few seconds before falling silent.

This is not a place for good students like them!

"I'm too embarrassed to go in."
