Chapter 2 Qi Luck Sect
On Earth.
Li Fan dragged his tired body through the door, tidied up briefly, and immediately lay down on the bed and turned on his phone.
As a working professional who graduated two years ago, his only entertainment each day is the time he spends playing games when he gets home.
"Damn, what do you mean by 'just one shot away'? When I went to shoot, his helmet was still intact!"
Li Fan stared at the gray screen and couldn't help but curse.
Sure enough, in any shooting game, "a close call" is always the phrase a teammate says when they fall.
"Forget it, I'm not playing anymore."
Li Fan angrily shut down the game, feeling somewhat lost.
As people get older, their reactions inevitably slow down a bit. Sometimes, seeing how quick and agile young people are, he can't help but feel a little envious.
Time waits for no one.
"I wonder if I'll ever be able to play a truly realistic virtual game in my lifetime..."
Li Fan sighed and turned on his phone.
In recent years, many game companies have invested heavily in virtual games, and some relatively mature works have emerged. However, not only is the immersion average, but the price of playing them is also very high, which is not something that ordinary people like Li Fan can even dream of.
Just then, a notification appeared on the screen.
Do you want to experience a free life? Do you want to feel the real world of immortals and heroes?
Li Fan's eyes widened in surprise, and he subconsciously clicked into the detailed page.
The first closed beta test of the most realistic and immersive virtual reality game on Earth is about to begin! Want to start your legendary life in a world of immortals and heroes? Click the link below now!
[Cultivation Online] We look forward to your joining us!
He stared at the promotional slogan on the screen, still somewhat dazed, and opened the link.
Immediately afterwards, a registration page slowly popped up.
Li Fan casually entered his account ID—[A Few Taels of Broken Silver]
"ID [A Few Taels of Broken Silver] has been entered."
Looking at the notification, Li Fan chuckled for no apparent reason.
Isn't my whole life just about struggling for a few pieces of silver?
Where is true freedom in life?
As for what constitutes true immersion...
With current scientific capabilities, it's simply impossible to create a game of that caliber.
It's probably just another gimmick from some company.
With that in mind, Li Fan filled in his home address and then paid no further attention to it.
Lianyun Mountain, within the ruins of a sect.
Zhou Yi opened the newly created game forum and was somewhat dumbfounded.
It seems that my sect is destined to be filled with countless idiots in the future.
Hidden Dragon in the Abyss: "Well, which platform came up with this gimmick this time? It's quite realistic; they even made me fill in my address."
Crouching Tiger Hidden in the Forest: "Haha, it's okay to give it a try. This isn't a learning website, they can't just ban my account, can they?"
When the stars of the human race shine: "Hmm, what learning websites get accounts banned? I'm preparing for the CET-4 exam, can someone share their experiences with me?"
Instantly activating Sage Mode: "+1... But bro, you took the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 4, right?"
Zhou Yi withdrew his gaze and silently uploaded the carefully prepared background settings.
The Immortal Path Era has lasted for thirty thousand years.
The first Daoist patriarch accepted seven disciples, established a sect, and passed down the methods of cultivating immortality. His original intention was to ensure the spread of Daoist teachings, so that everyone could have a path to heaven.
But 30,000 years later, everything changed.
[The blessed land of Lingfeng is occupied by powerful clans, and elixirs and cultivation techniques are monopolized at every level. The Scripture Pavilion holds mountains of jade slips, yet they are only open to core disciples.]
Those with spiritual roots still need a background and a powerful backer to gain access to the immortal realm. Unaffiliated cultivators, without any foundation, will spend their entire lives lingering in the Qi Refining stage, gazing longingly at the threshold of Foundation Establishment.
The path to immortality has ultimately become a path for only a select few.
Although you are the last disciples of the Qingxuan Sect, of humble origins, like ants gazing at the sky, your Daoist heart remains undying, and your ambition soars to great heights.
One day, when the mountain gate is rebuilt and stands atop the highest heavens, the world will know—even from the dust, roots can take hold.
"Phew, writing high-brow stuff is really hard, it takes a lot of brainpower, but the results should be pretty good."
Zhou Yi was quite satisfied, feeling that his hard work had not been in vain.
But the latest news that popped up on the forum left him somewhat stunned.
Instantly activates Sage Mode: "This background setting is great, more exciting than Bo."
……
After a moment, Zhou Yi came to his senses, closed the forum, and began to think about his next move.
Two days later, these five players should be able to be recruited, and then I will be able to relax a lot.
Located at the foot of Lianyun Mountain, despite his caution these past few days, he still inevitably encountered some demonic beasts.
Fortunately, these demonic beasts were of low cultivation level, and Zhou Yi's mid-stage Qi Refining technique was enough to suppress and kill them.
But what if an even more powerful monster appears one day?
In this area of Lianyun Mountain, there are quite a few demonic beasts in the mid-to-late stages of Qi Refining, and even powerful demonic beasts in the Foundation Establishment stage deep in the mountains.
"It seems I need to be more careful in the future."
Zhou Yi thought to himself, then brought up his sect panel.
【Qingxuan Sect】
[Master: Zhouyi]
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 4]
[Luck Value: 5]
[Disciples: 5]
[Sect Buildings: None]
[Sect Cultivation Techniques: None available]
[Sect Inheritance: None]
Zhou Yi looked at the information on the panel and felt somewhat helpless.
He'd heard of "three-no" products countless times, but this was the first time he'd ever heard of a "three-no" sect.
But what exactly is this luck value?
With this thought in mind, Zhou Yi had an idea and began to examine the effect of the Qi Luck Value.
[Luck Value: Currently used to improve cultivation level, summon and revive players, deduce sect techniques, and draw luck rewards, etc.]
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.
Improving cultivation level, that's a great thing!
He possesses four spiritual roots, but his natural talent is not outstanding. Without the support of resources, it would be extremely difficult for him to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage.
More importantly, if Zhou Yi becomes the sect leader and the sect's only NPC, he will inevitably have to deal with many issues for the players.
That would inevitably delay my cultivation.
Now, with the added benefit of luck points, Zhou Yi can balance cultivation and exploitation.
He pondered for a moment and then looked up how to obtain this luck value.
[Luck value represents the disruptive energy a player, as an "outsider," generates on the cultivation world.]
"Disturbance energy, how can it be so mysterious?"
If you don't understand the Book of Changes, keep reading.
Every action a player takes alters the original trajectory of this world. The system captures, transforms, and stores these disturbances, which become Luck Points.
Zhou Yi looked at the new explanation and understood somewhat: "This system is quite interesting. It can actually absorb the world's fortune through player activities."
As for the core operating principle, simply put, it's that when players cause trouble, the system gets charged.
As for what was going to happen, Zhou Yi was still a little unclear, so he continued to ask further questions.
On the light screen projected from the panel, a few lines of small text slowly appeared:
The perturbation methods can be broadly categorized into the following types:
[Disturbance Exists]: Players generate a small amount of luck simply by being online. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the disturbance.
[Battle Disturbance]: Players gain luck based on the intensity of the battle and the level of the target when they kill monsters.
[Growth Disturbance]: Players can gain a certain amount of luck by breaking through their cultivation level, learning new techniques, and increasing their understanding.
[Event Disturbance]: Players can gain fortune depending on the extent to which they trigger hidden storylines, discover secret realms, and change the fate of the natives.
[Output Disturbance]: Players who successfully refine pills, make talismans, forge weapons, or cultivate spiritual plants will receive luck based on the quality of the finished product.
[Death Penalty]: Players will lose Luck Points upon death, with higher Luck Points being consumed more.
After reading the introduction, Zhou Yi remained silent for a long time.
So as long as his little players are alive, they can contribute to his own cultivation, or rather, the cause of his sect.
That would be wonderful!
As Zhou Yi thought this, he became even more eager for the day when the players would go online.
But right now, he has other things to do.
