Online Cultivator

Player Murder

"Just a few days ago, for the first time in years, I had to eat something that wasn't 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 don't 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? Eat food?" Yu Rou chuckled at him. "What about your cultivation? Isn't that the main focus of this game? How far have you progressed?"

"I don't know how my circumstances compare to others, but I think I'm progressing at a steady pace."

Hearing his words, Yu Rou said, "Most of the top players around the world have just reached the Spirit Apprentice Realm level nine. 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 the fourth level.." Yuan said a moment later, deliberately leaving the 'Spirit Warrior Realm' so that he could surprise him later.

"Just the fourth level?! How many have you been lazy, Brother? At this rate, I'll chase you even though I'm a week late to the game!"

"Is one's cultivation really important? It's not that you can't play the game without cultivating ..." Yuan said to him, unable to understand why everyone was 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 saying 'only the strong survive' is deeply rooted in the game world and it's almost like nature itself there, so if you're not strong enough, you won't be able to survive, especially enjoying the game."

"Even there were many players killing other players to loot their items, and Player Killing was growing in popularity by the day." Yu Rou said to him.

"Ah? Player Murders? Really 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 must they dirty such a beautiful world with blood and corpses?"

"It's the nature of the game so there's nothing we can do about it. Even if you try to think about your own affairs and not cause trouble for others, other players will still cause trouble for you. And if it wasn't a player, it'd be an NPC. That's why you must cultivate seriously if you want to enjoy the game, Big 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 won't let anyone bully me, nor will I let anyone bully 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. I 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? He's really popular, even has his own forum." Yu Rou clicked on the link without thinking and started reading the forum which only contained posts about Player Yuan.

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 day by day— to the point where there were already people imitating it. The questions that people have about his existence are almost countless. 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.
