Cultivation Game: Players vs NPCs

In a rather narrow dark room, a handsome young man in a white shirt sat in the lotus position on an old mattress.

He had slightly curly hair, sharp eyebrows, and eyes as deep as the sky full of stars.

Bang...

The door of the room was suddenly pushed from outside, a young girl who looked to be in her 17's then entered the room.

She wore long jeans and a tight tank top, her hair was in a ponytail. The clothes zhe was wearing were a bit worn, it was obvious that they were often taken to the fields. Even so, she still looked quite beautiful, not inferior to the city girls.

Her hand was holding a box with a helmet picture bigger than a MotoGP helmet. With an excited expression, she said, "Brother, Brother, look at this, I bought you a virtual reality helmet. Even though this is a second hand item and has been repaired several times, it can still be used 3 hours a day."

The man looked at him and knitted his brows, "why did you buy that equipment again? The last one was already spoiled by being eaten by rats. Didn't I tell you, I don't like those fake worlds."

The girl's name is Mei Mei, she is Luo Tian's neighbor. Because he often gave help to her father, she always gave him a gift every time her father's farm was harvested.

Actually it was a bit funny, after all, he was a spiritual master, which was the fifth realm of the cultivation realm. He was also the only cultivator left in this year of 2065.

Although he had always avoided using power because the spiritual energy on earth was depleted and it could only be found in rare stones, he still had many abilities that he could use to become rich.

For example, he could become a doctor, with the skills he learned from the books of the god of medicine, Shennong, he was pretty sure he could beat all doctors in today's era who can only rely on modern equipment. He even has a prescription for medicine that can help humans live up to 200 years.

But he was no longer interested in worldly rivalries.

He was born 1500 years ago, he had already done too much.

His titles during his worldly life are still famous today.

He was once the most extraordinary minister, the most powerful general, the most genius artist, he even forgot what achievements he had.

Although the modern world is quite different, his age bores him quickly.

Seeing the disinterested expression on his face, Mei Mei quickly continued, "Brother, this time you have to try it again, there is a new game, this game is really great, you will definitely like it."

Luo Tian still showed a disinterested expression as he replied, "You've said that many times, what a great game, at most about entering dungeons."

""No, this is a cultivation game, it's called World of Cultivation. Don't you really like cultivation novels? This game is definitely suitable for you. Most importantly, this is no ordinary cultivation game, it has 7 worlds that are each different and a thousand times wider than the earth and all places can be visited including the deepest part of the ocean. Every place in the game is also completely different, just like the real world itself."

"7 worlds? A thousand times? Isn't that too vast, how did they make it?" MThis time, Luo Tian was slightly surprised.

The world of the games he had played was quite large for the game world but very small for the real world, usually they would divide the players into different servers because each world had a limit of people that could be accommodated.

He still has modern knowledge, he also knows how a game is made. He thought it would take a few more decades for such a game to be made.

Mei Mei shook her head as she replied, "I don't know!"

She took out her phone and opened a video sharing site before showing it to him.

"Look, this is a video of some people trying out the beta version of this game."

The phone then plays a video.

It featured an ancient city that was huge and full of people.

The size of the city was no different from the real world, there seemed to be more than 1 million people in the city.

"If there is only one city like this, it is still considered natural, but there are thousands of cities like this in this game," said Mei Mei. "And none of them are the same."

"Thousands of cities?" Seeing that instantly made Luo Tian interested.

Wouldn't that kind of world be no different from the cultivation world he had always dreamed of.

"There's more, look at this."

May Mei moved the video.

An old man with a thin body was flying over countless mountains.

"Hmph," he suddenly snorted coldly, causing the mountains to collapse in an instant.

"This," Luo Tian was surprised again.

One of the reasons why he got bored quickly with those games was because the power that could be unleashed wasn't that great. To a mortal, having supernatural powers that could create fire or other elements might be an extraordinary sensation, but to him it had no sensation at all. After all, he can fly, his full strength can even collapse a mountain, even the strongest power in those games can't be compared to a thousandth of his strength, how can he possibly enjoy it. He would only enjoy it if it could be stronger than his strength.

But the old man's strength was truly far above his. Just his snort shattered so many mountains.

"Is this game already playable?" he asked.

"It just went online two hours ago, you can play it now if you want."

"I am indeed interested now, let's give it a try."

"Yeee, let's go to the library."

Luo Tian stood up, he and Mei Mei then walked out of the room, there was no power outlet in the room, so he couldn't turn on the virtual equipment there.

Even though it is now 2065, there are still remote villages with poor infrastructure conditions. The village where he lives now is quite far in the interior of China.

The electricity in this village does not come from the electricity company, it comes from an electric machine that the government gave to the villagers.

Every house in the village has to use electricity in turn, the library is the only one that has continuous electricity.

The only good thing is the internet network which is already broadcast from satellite so that every place on earth can use it.

Outside the room was a rather messy living room where the roof was already full of holes.

The house that Luo Tian lived in was just an empty house in the village, it used to be famous as a haunted house, and now it was inhabited by a 1500 year old ghost.

Outside Luo Tian's house was a small unpaved road. On the left side of the road are people's houses while on the right side is a fairly large agricultural land.

Right beside his house, there was a fairly large building, he and Mei Mei went to that building. When they arrived in front of the building, a middle-aged man had just emerged from it carrying a copper-colored sword.

Seeing them, he smiled strangely.

"Oh, it's very rare to see you two walking together, have your relationship improved, it's better to get married as soon as possible," he said before walking away.

Mei Mei blushed, she glanced at Luo Tian, unfortunately the latter didn't show any expression so she became sullen.

The so-called library was actually a storehouse where the village farmers temporarily stored their agricultural produce before bringing it to the city.

The reason why it was also called a library was because it was filled with countless books.

They were ancient books that Luo Tian had collected during his life. Since the space inside his storage ring was destroyed because he didn't give him any more spiritual energy, he could only put the books there.

They are naturally not ordinary books, most of them are cultivation records in the era of the gods.

The techniques of Pangu, Nuwa, Zeus, Athena, almost all the techniques of the famous gods were there.

He had read all the books and even memorized every single word.

If he lived in a prosperous cultivation era, he would definitely become a peerless figure by relying on the knowledge from those books. The techniques recorded in the books were at the god level, they were something inconceivable that it was said that if one cultivated with them in the mortal world, they could only use a thousandth of the true abilities of the techniques. The problem was that what those techniques could do was beyond what the mortal world itself could do.

Too bad he was born in the wrong era.

He was also an unrivaled genius in cultivation, in a state of the earth that was getting worse day by day, he still managed to become a spiritual master while other cultivators were no longer able to cultivate.

In addition to the books, there are also various kinds of weapons, from swords, knives, axes, sticks. Some are used by farmers to mow grass and chop wood.

Of course they weren't ordinary weapons either, they were weapons used by the gods.

The sword that the middle-aged man was carrying was in fact King Arthur's Excalibur.

Losing spiritual energy for too long made even those weapons rusty.

Those weapons were after all too powerful, even the spiritual energy on earth a thousand years ago couldn't replenish their energy, not to mention now.

To be sure, their existence is proof of the existence of these legendary gods.

Unfortunately up to now, Luo Tian couldn't find any clues about them even though he had explored almost every place on earth.

There was a special room in the warehouse where there were quite a number of power outlets, after arriving there, Mei Mei quickly opened the virtual reality toolbox.

It contained exactly the same helmet as the one in the picture except it was slightly scuffed.

Mei Mei plugged the helmet's cord with the power plug, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was successfully ignited.

"Brother, I'll take my helmet first, you can play first. Don't worry, I've filled your helmet internet quota, that's enough for one month," she said before leaving.

Luo Tian didn't answer, he took the helmet before putting it on his head.

As he pressed the green button on the helmet, a female robotic voice rang out from the helmet.

(10 seconds before you enter the virtual world.)

...

Luo Tian appeared in a white space where in front of him was a fairly large virtual screen.

The virtual screen displays a menu full of various applications.

He could control the virtual screen with his mind, he then wrote World of Cultivation in the search field.

Immediately a game with infinite land images appeared on that screen.

He clicked on the game, causing the scene in front of him to change.

(Note: You cannot login with an account not created by you, we register your brain waves for your account. Apart from your brain waves, no one can control your account. You also cannot create a new account unless your current account is deleted.)

(This is your login code, please note and save it properly. If you forget it, you will not be able to login again.)

Luo Tian read the code, but he didn't record or copy it, his brain had enough stored the code.

After that, he clicked the enter button under that code.

(Please enter your game nickname.)

Luo Tian thought for a while before writing, [Old_Demon]

It worked, which means no one has used that nickname yet.

The scene in front of him changed after that.

He was in the midst of a crowd of 17 year olds, men and women, they were now standing in front of a gate.

Above each of them was a virtual screen with a nickname written on it.

The gate itself was guarded by a group of people led by a middle-aged man who emitted such an extraordinary spiritual aura that the people did not dare to look at him directly.

Behind the gate was a huge mountain with three rivers flowing from its peak.

"You only have a mortal body and soul, go to the outer court, you will become farmers and miners, but you will still obtain cultivation methods. If you can increase your cultivation, there is still a chance for you to become inner court disciples."

The group of people that the middle-aged man had just examined were then carried away by one of the people behind him.

"What the hell, I also only have a mortal body and soul, am I just going to be an outer court disciple? Damn, I play this game for fun, not to be a miner and farmer," said a man standing beside Luo Tian.

Many said the same words.

Another replied, "There is a shop menu, we can buy any treasure as long as we have enough spiritual stones."

Luo Tian stared at the man beside him for a while before staring at the status window that appeared in front of him.
