Chapter 10: Divine-tier Talent, Unrivaled in Battle!Gu Liuyun scratched his head in embarrassment and was about to say something when Murong Qianxue suddenly spoke.
“Tomorrow morning, come to the Divine Temple,” she said.
After speaking, Murong Qianxue bowed to Wu Simiao, took her leave, then turned and left.
Gu Liuyun looked puzzled and asked, “Master, what does she mean?”
Wu Simiao brushed his beard, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, “It’s a good thing. Just don’t be late.”
Gu Liuyun was even more puzzled when he heard this, but it seemed he wouldn’t get an answer from Wu Simiao, so he had to wait until tomorrow morning.
The time in “Nine Realms” is synchronized with real-time, the only difference being that day and night are reversed. At this moment, the game world was gradually getting dark. In reality, it was almost dawn.
Gu Liuyun had been playing for quite a while and was starting to feel hungry, so he decided to log off to grab something to eat. He then found an empty training room in the medicine hall and prepared to log out of the game.
This was the game’s logoff mechanism. In a safe area, you could log off in an inn, training room, etc. All NPCs assume you were resting during this time and generally won’t bother you, except in special circumstances.
If you log off in an unsafe area in the wilderness, you need to find a safe spot carefully, or when you log in again, you might find yourself dead or afflicted with various debuffs.
The best way to log off in the wilderness was to use a portable Mustard Cave House, but it’s expensive and not affordable for most players.
Gu Liuyun chose to log off in an empty training room. He opened the game capsule, stretched lazily, and felt completely refreshed.
One of the advantages of using a game capsule was that playing games all night was almost like getting a full night’s sleep. You wouldn’t feel tired at all. The only downside was that his game capsule was a basic model worth 100,000 yuan and lacked a nutrient solution.
If he had a high-end million-yuan advanced nutrition capsule, it would support him for a week without needing to log off.
“Once my cultivation is higher, making money will be easier, and I won’t have to log off after playing all night,” he thought.
After logging off from “Nine Realms,” players must wait for a two-hour protection period before logging in again. This is to prevent excessive gaming.
This mechanism will only be lifted once some players reach the fifth level of the Divine Mansion Realm and their in-game progress starts projecting into reality.
Gu Liuyun got up to freshen up in the bathroom, then grabbed a quick bite. He sat in front of his computer, eating and browsing the official “Nine Realms” forum. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøvᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
The forum was also created by “Inception,” when most players reached the third crystallization stage, the forum synchronized with the game. This allowed players to browse the forum without quitting the game.
For now, Gu Liuyun could only check the forum through the webpage. At this moment, many players, just like him, had gone offline to eat, and the forum posts were constantly refreshing. Some discussed game content, others shared scenic screenshots, and some guilds recruited members.
Gu Liuyun found it entertaining until he clicked on a post titled “Who is this man?”
The post featured a screenshot of Gu Liuyun’s profile, with the Elder Deacon registering him as a disciple.
[Original Poster, Mo Fenfei]: Does anyone know this person? I suspect he found a game bug. He got a powerful female NPC’s help, and even the Elder Deacon registered him first as a disciple.[First floor-Xiao Xiaoyu]: Original poster, you’re clueless. This game was made by “Tai Chu”; there can’t be any bugs![Second floor – Mo Xiaoxiao]: Wow, this guy is so handsome from the side, I’m in love~[Second Floor-Liu Rushi]: It’s the Ninth Division of the Dao Palace, right? I was there, too. That NPC is stunning![Fourth floor-Wu Qiuyu]: What did you screenshot? Where’s the beautiful NPC?[Fifth floor-Zhang Fengyi]: What did you screenshot? Where’s the beautiful NPC?[Sixth floor-Zhang Ruosan]: What did you screenshot? Where’s the beautiful NPC?
Gu Liuyun couldn’t help but laugh at this. The LSP (Loser, Stupid, and Proud) and Copy Party were always present.
As for being screenshots, he didn’t mind. In “Nine Realms,” players didn’t have large IDs displayed above their heads like in traditional games, so their identity remained unknown unless he revealed it. Moreover, with so many people on the forum, posts like this would soon be buried.
His phone suddenly rang, and he saw it was Su Xiaoyue calling.
“Haha, letting me choose body cultivation was a great idea! Guess what talent I got,” she exclaimed.
Listening to her excited voice, Gu Liuyun asked, “With your enthusiasm, could it be an Earth-tier talent?”
Su Xiaoyue chuckled and said, “Not quite, guess again.”
Gu Liuyun was shocked and guessed, “Is it a Heaven-tier talent? That’s amazing.”
But Su Xiaoyue denied it again and urged him to guess once more.
This time, Gu Liuyun was truly surprised. In her previous life, Su Xiaoyue had chosen a method that didn’t suit her, and she ended up with a Spiritual-tier talent. Under his advice, she had chosen the right path for physical cultivation. Could it be…
He quickly asked, “What’s your potential score?”
Hearing Gu Liuyun’s surprised tone, Su Xiaoyue joyfully replied, “I scored 95 points! I got a Divine-tier talent named ‘Unrivaled in Battle.’ It seems pretty powerful.”
“Wow…” Gu Liuyun inhaled sharply.
“Unrivaled in Battle!”
