cultivating with the game

1

Weiwei's thin, shadow-like body moved slowly under the scorching sun, her trembling footsteps directing her steps towards the distant outskirts of the mountain. The desire to fill his empty stomach had already been a spell in him for several days.

Until finally, he saw a tree of unknown type, which was clearly a few strands of fruit at the end

"There's fruit?"thought it was Weiwei who immediately swallowed her own saliva.

A tree, the only living thing that looked so alive in this barren field. The tree was like a gift, its slender branches waving like inviting hands. At the end hung some tempting fruits.

"tall" he said as he tried to reach the tree. If only Weiwei had a little bit of strength she would not need to reach out like this.

But sorry, Weiwei had not found anything in her stomach for a few days.

Weiwei forced herself to reach for the fruit, but her already too weak body finally gave up. He fell to his own weight, immediately he rolled around on the hard ground.

Bruck...

 His head violently smashed into the huge rock, producing a sound like a broken iron clank.

"Akhhhh...!"

Everything went dark. Weiwei collapsed helplessly, fainting under the shadow of the tree she had dreamed of earlier.

The fainting Weiwei suddenly found herself in a strange state. His eyes slowly opened, and he found himself lying in the middle of a dark room lit only by a large screen hanging in front of him. That screen, without its original identity, emitted a blue light that radiated with intensity. Weiwei felt flabbergasted, confused, and a sense of fear began to creep up inside her.

"Is someone here?!" he shouted with a trembling voice, trying to find answers in the darkness. But there was no answer, except for a hollow echo that bounced back at him.

Weiwei grabbed the throbbing head from the impact earlier, and her gaze returned to the blue screen that lit up in front of her. His mind was filled with confusion, and he felt trapped in an unreasonable situation. "Who are you? Why am I here?" his frown, his face was pale and his eyes were filled with panic.

However, the screen remained mute, giving no sign of human existence or any clarity. Weiwei felt alone in the uncertainty, her fear mounting.

 In the gripping darkness, he kept wondering what would happen next, faced with the growing fear within him like an endless blue light before him.

**[HISTORY OF LIFE]**

Weiwei Chen was born on the [BORN DATE] in Xingling, a city far from the center of civilization, known as the abode of peasants. However, his family was one of the few involved in the harsh world of cultivation amidst this mostly secluded environment. Weiwei's life, along with her parents, Xiaohui and Mingyu Chen, was filled with challenges.

Born in a cultivation environment, Weiwei was born without spiritual roots, as were her father and mother. This weakness makes them the target of intimidation not only from the general public, but also from some members of their own family.

There was an echoing sound that echoed within this dark and mysterious room after Weiwei shouted, but no answer came. The blue screen that illuminated the room only displayed information about her, but there was no sign of human existence or the identity of the owner of the screen.

Weiwei, with a thumping heart, felt frightened but was also determined to keep her courage. He tried again, this time in a more steady voice, "Who are you? Why do you know all this about me?"

"Hello, please show yourself!" weiwei shouted again, her voice sounding trembling within the quiet room.

However, the room remained silent, and the uncertainty surrounding Weiwei deepened. He felt like he was being tested, but he wouldn't just give up. .

After waiting for a long time in silence, Weiwei felt tired to keep shouting. Desperation almost crept on him, but suddenly his ears caught an information that appeared on the screen in front of him.

"Online gaming system, Weiwei is willing to host by tying themselves to an online gaming system?"

The text flickered several times, with no movement or sound other than the message on the screen. Weiwei felt astonished and unsure of what she should do. However, he felt that this screen wanted to get an answer from him.

Without a doubt, Weiwei asked, "Are you part of a dark gathering that will force me to do bad things?"

Suddenly, the screen changed again quickly, "No."

"Who's your master?" ask Weiwei again.

"You don't have a master, this online gaming system is self-contained," as shown on the screen.

Weiwei was in disbelief at the answer, but her curiosity could not be contained. "If I want to join you, what do you want in exchange for this ritual?"

The screen changed again, and a new writing appeared: "Energy crystals."

Weiwei. Energy crystals were not ordinary currencies. It is a source of strength for people who have spiritual roots, to strengthen their abilities. Obtaining energy crystals was no easy task, even for people cultivating, let alone Weiwei who clearly had no spiritual roots.

However, Weiwei immediately regained consciousness and said, "Sorry, you're looking for the wrong person. Please get me out of here and find a suitable person."

The atmosphere momentarily became silent, and the screen flickered again, but there was no significant change. Weiwei felt trapped, unable to get out of this place except by waiting for the screen to provide any further answers or clues.

More than an hour had passed since Weiwei first interacted with the mysterious screen, and finally, suddenly the screen changed with a new writing. Even this time there was a slightly strange sound.

"The online gaming system is already researching and you have a match of 98%. Please accept the system and get the benefit."

Weiwei had never gotten this kind of offer before, but at this moment, as someone who was weak and had no way to fill her empty stomach, she felt she had to consider this offer. Especially if there was a potential negotiation that he could do.

"OK, explain first what profit you will give if I am willing to bind myself with you!" asked Weiwei thoughtfully.

This time, the system gave a quick answer, "Get a 10% gain each time it got the energy crystal. Get also some official gain advantages as a host."

Weiwei almost choked on hearing the 10% gain, but the problem was how she was able to obtain those energy crystals. He couldn't possibly walk out on an empty stomach just to search for energy crystals.

"For God's sake, I can't afford to get those energy crystals for you. I'm too weak" complained Weiwei.

However, the system replies again steadily, "Just open a game store, the system will take care of it for the host so that everything makes sense, including shelter and food."

In the list of subsidies given to the host, among many other things, the house and food attracted Weiwei's attention. But for the sake of her and her family's safety, Weiwei still felt the need to ask further, "Are you really not going to suck my blood to the end or ask me to do things that don't make sense?"

"No, but there will be tasks from time to time," the answer screen scrolls quickly.

Enchanted by the potential for profit and reward, Weiwei finally made a firm decision, "OK, I'm ready to tie myself to the online gaming system."

Suddenly, the system let out a crisp sound, "The system immediately binds itself to the countdown: 3, 2, 1, the binding is complete."

Weiwei felt her adrenaline run wild. He had no idea what awaited him, but he knew that this choice had opened the door to a new world, even if it was a world filled with mysteries.
