Chapter 68
“Alright, Qingran, you’ll go find the Sect Master tomorrow!”
Li Qingran nodded seriously, her delicate face set in a determined expression.
Chen Huai'an opened the map and scanned the entire Jian Ge, surprised to find that all the disciples were represented as green dots—there wasn’t a single yellow dot in sight.
This meant that none of the disciples had any ulterior motives; they all held goodwill towards Li Qingran, or rather, towards their fellow sect members in Jian Ge.
Even the two dots that seemed to be at odds with each other were still devoid of any real hostility. It looked intense, but there was no animosity at all.
“Forget it, forget it. If we didn’t enter Lingxi Valley, then we didn’t,” Chen Huai'an shook his head.
As the saying goes, plans can’t keep up with changes.
Just like he hadn’t expected to encounter two massive wolves while climbing a mountain.
【Your electronic girlfriend's cave is too shabby. Recharge 68￥ to give her a cozy home!】
A recharge reminder popped up.
Chen Huai'an scoffed.
A mere 68￥? That’s nothing!
Even if this was the key to unlocking the next wave of in-game purchases, so what?
He, Chen the Money-Spending Immortal, had plenty of cash!
Charge it!
Swish—!
Just as Li Qingran was about to tidy up the room, a flash of golden light transformed the stone house into a warm, exquisite wooden cottage, complete with various new furnishings, and the existing furniture looked brand new.
This scene was strikingly similar to a previous one.
Li Qingran stared at the beautiful house, her eyes suddenly misty.
In her heart, what left the deepest impression wasn’t the magical artifacts, spirit stones, or even the miraculous pills that could restore her dantian.
She would always remember that stormy night.
With a single utterance of “home,” a shelter from the wind and rain appeared before her.
To other cultivators, a house made of wood and stone might not seem like much, but to her, it was the most precious thing.
When she had left Wanqing Mountain with Chen Huai'an, she had gazed longingly at the little stone house for a long time.
The care her master showed her was always in the details that others overlooked, and it was the most difficult to repay.
But what Li Qingran didn’t know was that while she was feeling touched, Chen Huai'an outside was staring at the screen, lost in thought.
【You have activated the electronic girlfriend cave function.】
【You can freely purchase the following items to assist your electronic girlfriend in her cultivation.】
〈Permanent Beginner Spirit Gathering Array: 10,000￥ (spirit stones automatically replenished)〉
〈Permanent Intermediate Spirit Gathering Array: 100,000￥ (spirit stones automatically replenished)〉
〈Cultivate a piece of spirit field: 5,000￥〉
〈Cultivate 10 pieces of spirit field: 48,800￥〉
〈Upgrade spirit field to lv1 (increases spirit plant yield and growth speed): 1,000￥〉
〈Build a spirit beast pen: 50,000￥ (opens spirit beast cub shop after construction)〉
〈Build a Beginner Mystic Armor Array: 5,000￥ (materials automatically replenished)〉
…
〈Upgrade cave to lv2 (increases comfort): 998￥〉
【All of the above purchases can be replaced with spirit stones/spirit crystals at a ratio.】
Chen Huai'an slowly typed out a question mark.
He zoomed out to get a better view of the house.
Looking at the barren land on the cliff, divided into various areas waiting to be cultivated, an old game popped into his mind.
“Is this… QQ Farm?!”
…
…
------------
Chapter 72: Just a Bit of Grass? (No Unfinished Thoughts +1)
Although this game was quite old, Chen Huai'an immediately recognized that this so-called cave system was just a template lifted from QQ Farm.
“If I build this beast pen, can I raise some spirit chickens and spirit cows in there?” Chen Huai'an sneered, first upgrading Li Qingran’s cave to lv2.
With a flash of golden light, the little wooden house expanded again, and two side rooms appeared, complete with a bathing tub and a stove, clearly meant for bathing and cooking.
“Can’t skimp on the spirit energy.”
Chen Huai'an observed carefully.
This mountain itself was already a beginner spirit gathering array, so he decided to add a beginner spirit gathering array inside the room. The effect would be nearly as good as an intermediate one.
The best part was that it didn’t require any extra materials, which was very tempting.
Charge it!
The Beginner Mystic Armor Array, to protect Qingran’s safety, must be charged!
After spending a bit, the cave environment underwent a significant transformation.
Though it lacked pavilions and towers, it was still made of blue bricks and tiles, exquisite and pleasing to the eye. Despite its small size, it was fully equipped; even if placed in Qingyun Sect, it would be considered a proper “mansion.” In Jian Ge, it was simply a dream home.
Just as Chen Huai'an was pondering what else to charge for, a weak, pleading voice echoed in the game.
“Master, that’s enough, it’s too much…”
Li Qingran stood nervously by the bed, her small hands twisting the hem of her clothes, her pretty face flushed with anxiety.
This wasn’t her first time witnessing her master’s mysterious ability to conjure objects from thin air, so she wasn’t overly shocked. What troubled her was how to explain this transformation to her fellow disciples if they saw her cave now.
She couldn’t just say she built it herself, could she?
Qingran thought this was enough?
Chen Huai'an thought otherwise.
When a girl says she doesn’t want something, she usually means she does.
【Qingran, everyone else has spirit fields, so I’ll get you some too!】
“Ah, Master, no, please don’t…”
【How about ten big spirit fields? Is that enough?】
“Ten?!”
Li Qingran recalled that her senior sister only had two spirit fields.
And when it came to spirit fields, her senior sister was quite proud, as cultivating a fertile spirit field was no easy feat.
Yet now, her master was offering ten?
【Alright, then it’s ten!】
Boom, boom, boom—!
The ground around the little wooden house began to shift, and ten pieces of land, radiating with a faint spirit energy glow, quickly emerged.
Chen Huai'an even upgraded them in the process.
Now, it was spirit field lv1—ten pieces.
Alright, that should be enough.
If I charge any more, I’ll be out of money.
Gotta keep some for emergencies.
Li Qingran trembled as she opened the door, gazing at the vast expanse of fertile spirit fields outside. Her knees buckled, and she fell to the ground, despairingly closing her eyes, murmuring, “It’s over, I’m doomed…”
Once her master gave something, there was no taking it back.
She could already foresee herself becoming a celebrity in Jian Ge.
Those disciples wouldn’t dare call her a master’s treasure, would they?
【This outfit is nice; wear it to sleep!】
A piece of clothing landed on the bed.
Li Qingran entered the room, picked it up, and instantly turned beet red.
It was a white gauzy dress, exposing the back, with fabric that gradually tightened around the waist and hips, and a slit at the thigh. It was easy to imagine that wearing this dress would perfectly showcase her curves.
This dress was definitely not something she could wear outside.
Her master wanted her to wear it to sleep?
Could it be understood as… her master wanted to see her in it?
Oh no, can’t think like that!
So embarrassing!
Li Qingran’s face grew hotter, turning a deep shade of crimson. When had she ever worn something so revealing?
“But if this is what Master wants, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad…”
Just as Li Qingran was lost in her thoughts, Chen Huai'an had already exited the electronic girlfriend shop.
In truth, he hadn’t thought much of it; the electronic girlfriend shop had suddenly refreshed with a special discount sleepwear, and since it was only 18￥, he decided to buy it outright.
【You have completed Main Quest 2.0—Help your electronic girlfriend establish herself in the new ‘shelter.’】
【Reward: One Nine-Turn Spirit Orchid, one Nuwa Soil (delivered).】
【Main Quest 3.0: Countdown to the opening of the Zhongzhou Secret Realm dungeon: 30 days. Please improve your electronic girlfriend’s survival rate in the dungeon! Each 30% increase in survival rate will grant a hint of heavenly secrets; current survival rate: 0%.】
Bang—!
Another sound came from the door.
Used to it by now, Chen Huai'an knew it was the mysterious delivery that had arrived.
But he could pick that up anytime.
His focus was on Main Quest 3.0.
“Is the first game dungeon finally about to open?”
