Chapter 35：Best Player In The Game

The morning had arrived, and his first day of the 3-day leave was over. Nothing of significance had happened the entire night, aside from meeting different people in the forest.

Over the course of the night, he had met a few more people after the 2 female cultivators. Most of them had the same yellow robe on them, but none had the red linings like the beautiful girl, only green or blue linings.

He did meet a few disciples from Hong Wu Sect, but they seemed to be inner sect disciples so he didn't talk a lot to them besides the casual greetings.

He realized that monsters were active during the nighttime a lot more than daytime, so most of the people that wanted to hunt the monster only visited the forest during the night.

Now that it was nearly 7 am, Alex walked out of the forest and went to the city. Once he reached his room in the tavern, he logged out.

After breakfast, he decided to study instead of going back into the game. There was nothing to do in the game at this time, so it was better to just study.

At 11 am, he went to his class. Today was a computer science class, and he really enjoyed this class.

There was only 1 course he took this semester that didn't have either of his 3 roommates, so most of these classes he just sat with them.

After the classes were over, he ate his afternoon lunch and went back to his room. Instead of going back into the game, however, he just started doing his homework from his classes.

He had wanted to do it in the morning, but there was nothing to do right now. If he went back in the game, he would have nothing to do there. He couldn't go to the forest only to return a bit more than 2 hours later just to log out.

Rather, he would do his work now, eat his dinner, and then go into the game.

After finishing the homework, he decided to watch some online videos to pass his time. The site he visited regularly was now starting to recommend 'Eternal Cultivation' videos on its own.

"I haven't even searched for anything related to the game on this site, and it's somehow recommending videos related to it? Is this because the search engine and the video site are owned by the same company?" he talked to himself.

He was about to reload the page when he saw the word 'Best' out of the corner of his eyes. He stopped, and read the title of the video.

"Exclusive Interview with The BEST player in Eternal Cultivation!!" the thumbnail was a massive 'BEST' test covering the face of the player, while the interviewer looked very shocked with comically large eyes.

"The best?" Alex was intrigued. His curiosity took the better of him as he clicked on the video.

The video opened with the interviewer talking to the viewers, hyping them up, saying how they were the first channel to find the best player in Eternal Cultivation.

"This player has been playing this game since day 0, and has remained hidden the entire time he was in the game." The interviewer said, " However, today he has agreed to have us take an interview of him, and reveal himself to the world through our channel."

The interviewer kept talking about how his channel was the best for doing this. "Now everyone, please welcome, Mister Connor Root."

The interview was going to take over a video call, so on another side, a young 20-ish years old man with bright red hair showed up on another side of the video.

"Good morning Mister Root." The interviewer said.

"Good morning, you can just call me Connor." He replied

"Alright. Hi, I'm Connor Root. I live in Black Cherry City, and I am as of yet, the player with the highest cultivation in 'Eternal Cultivation'."

The interviewer acted shocked when he heard this, "If you don't mind us asking Connor, what is your cultivation at currently?"

"It's at True King 4th Realm. I just broke through yesterday actually." Connor answered.

"Oh wow, I heard the highest know cultivation as of yet was in the True Master Realm, yours just blows that out of the water. Can you tell us how to cultivated so fast?" the interviewer asked.

"There is really just one reason why I cultivated as fast as I did, and that reason is 'Luck'. I was just lucky, that's it." Connor then looked at the camera, and pointed at it as he said, " You too can become as good as me if you just get a bit lucky."

The interviewer's face was blank for a moment. He was expecting an actual answer from the interviewee, yet he just babbled about being this good due to luck.

"Umm... Connor, I think our viewers wouldn't mind learning a bit more as to how you cultivate so fast." The interviewer tried to solve the situation.

"Ahaha. I'm sorry, I was just joking for a moment. Let me get serious then. Let's see, the reason for why I cultivated so fast, huh. Well, there are many reasons, most of them being actually just luck. But if I had to condense them down to a few then, I would say I cultivated so fast because of 3 reasons exactly."

The interviewer seemed happy with this response. He had somehow kept the interview from going into a bad turn, "Oh, 3 reasons. I wonder how good these reasons are. If you wouldn't mind, can you tell us what these 3 reasons are?"

"Yes, I can. From what I have learned off of the forums and such, the internet has no idea about this, but, you know the Body in the status of the players? There are actually grades to these bodies as well. And the first reason as to why I cultivated so fast was because the body I was given in the game was one of the best bodies anyone has ever been given."
