Online Cultivation
episode 39

“A few days ago, for the first time in years, I had to eat something that was not soup or porridge!” Yuan reminded Yu Rou of the delicious food she ate in the game. “Although I have spent all my money on it, I do not regret it!”

“And let me tell you” eating in-game food tastes no different than eating in real life! You can taste every flavor and spice in food! I don't know how they do it, but this kind of technology is really another world!”

“Is that all you do in the game? Eating food?" Yu Rou chuckled at him. “How about your cultivation? Isn't that the main focus of the game? How far have you progressed?”

“I don't know how my performance compares to others, but I think I am progressing at a steady pace.”

Hearing his words, Yu Rou said, “Most of the top players around the world have just reached the ninth level Spirit Apprentice Realm. What level are you, brother? ”

‘What? They had just reached the ninth level? Why are they so slow? Does this make me a top player?’ Yuan pondered to himself.

“Uhh I am at level four” Yuan said a moment later, deliberately leaving ‘Spirit Warrior Realm’ so that he could surprise her later.

“Only fourth level ?! How many have you been lazy, Brother? If this continues, I will chase you even if I am a week late to the game! ”

“Does one's cultivation really matter? It's not that you can't play the game without cultivating” Yuan told him, unable to understand why everyone is trying so hard to improve their cultivation.

“And I feel cultivating usually takes too much time, and it's too boring because you just sit there and breathe.”

“While it is true that you do not need to cultivate to play the game, you will be bullied by other players and even NPCs if you are not strong in the game. The proverb ‘only the strong survive’ is firmly rooted in the game world and is almost like nature itself there, so if you are not strong enough, you will not be able to survive, moreover, enjoy the game.”

“In fact there are many players killing other players to loot their items, and Player Killing is growing in popularity by the day.” Yu Rou said to him.

"Ah? Player Murders? It sucks” Yuan shook his head inwardly. Now he not only has to deal with the psychopathic NPCs who will kill you if you bother them a bit but also other players?

“Why can't everyone enjoy the game peacefully? Why should they dirty such a beautiful world with blood and corpses?”

“This is the nature of the game so there is nothing we can do about it. Even if you try to take care of your own business and not cause problems for others, other players will still cause problems for you. And if it wasn't a player, it would be an NPC. That's why you must cultivate seriously if you want to enjoy the game, Brother. I don't want to see anyone bully you.”

Hearing his worried voice, Yuan spoke with a smile on his face, “Don't worry, Yu Rou. I'm not going to let anyone bully me, nor am I going to let anyone bluff you in the game. If they cause the slightest trouble for you, your brother here will cut him down mercilessly. ”

Yu Rou chuckled at his words and said, "Before you start cutting anyone, you should start increasing your cultivation first."

A while later, after Yu Rou finished cleaning and feeding Yuan, she asked him, "Do you have anything else you want to say before I leave?"

"Yes, just one thing." Yuan said, and he took a deep breath before continuing, "Thank you, and good night."

“Good night, Brother. Can't wait to play with you in a few days. ” Yu Rou said to him before leaving the room.

After Yu Rou left the room, Yuan immediately went to sleep.

Meanwhile, inside his own room, Yu Rou scoured the internet for the latest news about Online Cultivation.

"Hmm? Yuan players making headlines again? She is really popular, even has her own forum.” Yu Rou clicked on the link without thinking and started reading the forum which only contained posts about Player Yuan.

[The Yuan player has become the first player to collect over 1,000,000 gold coins in Online Cultivation, which is worth over 10,000,000 dollars at the current market price!]

[The current Yuan Player is the only player on the Wealth Ranking Board!]

[Another player claiming to be a Yuan Player has appeared!]

There were over a hundred topics about Player Yuan in the forum, and Yu Rou would spend the entire night if she wanted to read them all.

“This Yuan Player Reputation grew from day to day” to the point where there was already a person disguised as him. The questions people have about his existence are almost incalculable. It would be interesting if I could somehow meet this player in the game. ”

After spending an hour on the internet, Yu Rou entered her bed and went to sleep.
