cultivating with the game

2

Although there was a hint of doubt in his heart, Weiwei had to rely on a single thread when he was about to drown.

After tying himself to the system, Weiwei instantly opened her eyes and saw that she was still in the same place when she had fallen before.

"Oh, I'm dreaming?" weiwei muttered in his heart. However, soon he realized that this was not a dream. This is a newly discovered reality. Weiwei was a girl who had no other expectations, and suddenly, she found a glimmer of hope. So, this was not just a dream in his sleep; it was a reality that suddenly appeared before him.

"System? Do you exist?" weiwei whispered, almost unsure if she was talking to herself or to the mysterious entity that had contacted her.

Suddenly, the voice sounded again, "Yes." That short answer was enough to relax Weiwei's heart. "Ah, thank God, you're real" she said with a smile on her face.

Immediately, a certain amount of information began to flow into his mind. The information is clearly coming from the system, including an address that has been dedicated to itself. The address was located in a nearby town, although to reach it without spiritual power they had to walk quite a distance.

People who have the ability to cultivate can walk quickly thanks to their spiritual abilities. Those who make money can go by horse, and the richer ones will use airplanes that utilize spiritual injections as fuel. But Weiwei does not fall into any of those categories. The only option he had was to walk.

Weiwei asked the system if there were any gaps or shortcuts to reach its destination, but the system remained silent. This was a sign that the nearest road was the only option he had.

He took a deep breath and began his long journey towards the city, with one goal in mind: finding his parents.

After being evicted from their families, there was nowhere they could call home anymore. Nor did they have families willing to accept them as workers or slaves. Those without spiritual roots were considered as trash, even inferior to trash.

Now, the only place that became a refuge for this family of three was a simple little hallway.

After walking for more than an hour on an empty stomach and tired legs, Weiwei finally arrived at the small hallway where her parents were lying weakly. The two of them were also starving, and their faces reflected deep suffering.

Weiwei almost shed her tears seeing the condition of her parents were so sad. However, he realizes that now he has new hope, thanks to the system he has been tying up.

Although there is no clarity on the future yet, Weiwei is trying to stay strong. He knew that they had to keep moving towards the city, to see if there really was a place they could make a home after this.

His parents, though weak, greeted him with a gentle smile.

They didn't see her daughter carrying food in hand but they couldn't force this girl to ask for food by holding hands at strangers.so don't ask Weiwei about food anymore.

Mother Weiwei, with a worried look, asked, "How are you feeling, Weiwei? Are you feeling all right?"

Weiwei tried to smile, even though she was hungry and tired. "I'm good, Mother. I'm here, and we're gonna go into town soon to find a better place."

Weiwei's father, who was sitting next to her, placed a warm hand on the shoulder of her Princess, Weiwei. "You are very brave, my son. We both made me suffer, but we're so lucky to have you, son."

Weiwei clasped her mother's hand gently. "The two of you are everything to me. We're gonna get through this together."

Weiwei mother tried to hide the tears in her eyes, but the deep sense of unease could not be hidden. "We know it's not easy for you, Weiwei, especially after losing everything."

Weiwei shook her head. "The most important thing now is that the three of us are together. We will find a safe place to live and build a new life. We will never be apart."

Weiwei's father nodded in agreement. "We are family, and family is always together in trouble. We're going through this together."

The three of them smiled at each other, bracing each other with hungry stomachs.

Weiwei held her mother's hand gently and said affectionately, "We'll be fine, mother. I'll do my best for all of us."

Weiwei's mother carefully took out a ring from behind her pocket. "This is all I can save from my wedding dowry first," said her mother, her voice weak. "Weiwei, go find food by selling this, "he continued.

Weiwei looked at the pure jade ring with respect. He knew how precious the ring was to his mother. Although they were in a difficult situation, her mother still thought about the sustainability of Weiwei's life.

"Dad, mother," Weiwei said softly, "i met with acquaintances and she said there was an empty house in the city. We can stay there for a while, what if this ring is used as a charge for us to go to the city first?"

Weiwei's father knew her daughter well. Although he had never heard of a friend whom Weiwei had just met, he knew that his daughter was an honest and sincere girl. Now, they had no hope anymore; not only was food hard to find, not even a place to shelter existed. They feel empty, wasted, and these are the worst times of their lives. There was nothing for them as parents, but Weiwei was still a girl who had yet to find her life partner. It would be a shame if someone found out that they lived in this small hallway without a roof.

Believe it or not, they should try. Weiwei's father nodded, stroking his daughter's hair which had become hard and dry due to the difficulties they were facing. "Go, do what you think is good" he said in a tone full of encouragement.

Weiwei felt excited to hear the answer from her parents. Although his stomach was still empty, he felt excited to find a solution. He hurriedly left the place, trying to find a group of people who would travel by horse to the city.

These people were usually the merchants in the city. In this cultivation world, they would not see a cart transporting goods, as things could be overcome with a Qiankun bag, better known as a "space bag." The more expensive the bag, the more space inside.

Weiwei saw from a distance a person whose face she had seen several times in the market. That person was the leader of the merchant group that traveled frequently in the region. Although this was a cultivation world, robbery and looting were commonplace. Hence, some merchants needed to protect themselves by paying a group of people as loyal bodyguards.

Carefully, Weiwei approached the leader of the merchant group. When he reached nearby, the leader recognized Weiwei and greeted her with a friendly smile. "Hey, Weiwei, what brought you here?"

Weiwei replied in a soft voice, "I know that you and your group will be going to the city. I really need help getting there with my family. I'm willing to pay with this jade ring in return."

The merchant leader nodded, noticing the jade ring Weiwei offered. "This ring is precious. Are you sure you want to use it as payment?"

Weiwei nodded steadily. "This is the only way for us to go to the city and find a better place to stay. I'm very grateful if you're willing to help us."

The leader of the merchant group weighed in and finally said, "Alright, Weiwei. Since we have met several times, I will help you and your family. Let's join our group, and I'll make sure you're safe in the city."

Weiwei was relieved and grateful. "Thank you very much, sir. We owe you so much."

The merchant leader smiled. "Family is important, Weiwei. We need to help each other in difficult times. Now, let's join our group. We'll be heading for town soon."

With the approval of the merchant chief, Weiwei immediately invited her parents to join the merchant group.

 Despite appearing old and frail due to the difficulties of life, Weiwei's father and mother still exuded enthusiasm and smiles upon hearing the news that they were about to leave for the city with their daughter.

"Weiwei's father, let's go, it's not good to delay others"

"OK, we go" said Weiwei's father who was still glancing down the familiar path. Even though he has been expelled, this is where he was born and raised.

There was a slicing feeling in his heart, whereas he also had the blood of that family but why did he have such a big difference.

All brothers have spiritual roots but he was born without it, this makes his family always in ridicule because of him.

on this road he also felt sadness when he saw his son and wife being bullied by people around.

Therefore there is no longer any reason for them to stay here, goodbye My homeland goodbye relatives.

In the end, this family of three carefully joined the merchant group. They knew that their presence might trouble others, so they chose not to talk much during the trip, just holding back and hoping that things would go well.

The journey to the city takes a full day. Before leaving the caravan, the chief merchant kindly gave them a basket of steamed bread as a supply of travel. Weiwei and her parents were very grateful for the kindness and hospitality they received from this group of merchants.

At sunset, the merchant group arrived at the bustling city gate. The wide street with its neatly lined house made Weiwei, father, and mother feel like they had arrived in a new world. The city is so alive and full of hope.

The merchant chief approached Weiwei with a friendly smile. "We've reached the city, Weiwei. Welcome to this new place. I can't help you guys find a temporary place to stay because there's another rush."

"it's okay God, we also have acquaintances who give temporary shelter" Weiwei said.

"Oh thank goodness if so, come on Weiwei, we go first" said the merchant kindly.

Weiwei sincerely thanked the merchant chairman and his group. Without this group they would never make it to the city.

Within the bustling city, the Weiwei family and their merchant group parted ways, but with each other expressing their best wishes.

There was also a basket of bread left behind by the merchant, this could make this family of 3 people last for a few days.

"Weiwei, where are we going, son?"ask her mother .

having no spiritual roots this family of 3 people never went out of its surroundings. There was no thrilling journey like the one that happened to those who learned to cultivate.

This was their first experience away from the birthplace. Of course there will be discomfort and the feeling is a little strange.

Weiwei actually did not know where to go either, but she had a system to guide her.

"Mother let's go east first" Weiwei said after getting a briefing from the system.

Weiwei's father and mother immediately interfered and they walked away with an uncertain purpose.
