I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

Section 012 The Later Stages of Life

Around 2 PM, Zhou Yunshen went to bed to sleep.

He slept until 11 p.m., when he was woken up by his phone alarm.

Upon waking up, the first thing he looked at was his phone, which was placed beside his bed.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on the phone screen, he was relieved.

At this moment, it was still dark in the game world.

Zhou Yunshen tore open a bag of bread and ate it while using his newly bought phone to search for information about the game "Xuan Yuan Invasion" online.

It has to be said that having two phones in hand is indeed much more convenient.

From now on, when he's training his character, he can use his newly bought phone to look up information or for entertainment.

For example, reading novels, watching short videos, or watching short dramas.

After all, the night was long, and he was quite bored while training his character.

Zhou Yunshen noticed that there was more content online about the game "Xuan Yuan Invasion" than before.

Some people are showing off their cultivation techniques, levels of expertise, and natal magical treasures; some are showing off their beautiful maids; and some are showing off the picturesque scenery in the game world.

Another player was killed and posted a complaint online, saying that the game had mysteriously disappeared and demanding an explanation from the game company, but they couldn't even find the game company's name.

Zhou Yunshen wondered, if the game itself could detect anomalies, what about the other players? What about the government?

Especially the government.

Once the government notices that this game is unusual, will they take any action?

Zhou Yunshen shook his head, trying to stop thinking about it.

He's just a grain of sand in this era; thinking about these things is pointless.

He should focus on developing his skills quietly and just do his best.

Around midnight, the sky in the game world was already beginning to lighten.

Zhou Yunshen picked up his "game" phone, controlled the character to get up, and then opened the door of the wooden house with a creak.

At this moment, the hardworking Zhou Xiaoya was already busy cooking breakfast in the simple kitchen.

It was still that kind of mushy food, with a few vegetable leaves floating on top.

Zhou Yunshen controlled the character and ate two large bowls of porridge, finally eliminating the character's slight hunger.

What made Zhou Yun frown was that there was a slight fatigue status in the character's status bar.

This must be because he used too much force during his cultivation yesterday.

After breakfast, Zhou Yunshen told the character to rest at home.

He planned to wait until the slight fatigue status in the character's status bar disappeared before letting the character train.

As for Captain Chen, he doesn't plan to go there today.

He's already learned the "Spirit Ape Body Forging Technique," so why would he go there again?

Captain Chen's residence.

Captain Chen was practicing his swordplay; his movements were sharp and powerful, accompanied by a distinct whooshing sound.

After finishing a set of sword techniques, seeing that Zhou Erzhu hadn't arrived yet, Captain Chen shook his head and muttered, "Wanting to learn martial arts, but lacking even a little perseverance, truly hopeless."

There was no sign of disappointment on his face.

After all, Zhou Erzhu had nothing to do with him this week. Zhou Erzhu was lazy and refused to come to practice martial arts, so he was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Time passed by, and Zhou Yunshen's character was resting inside the house, while Zhou Yunshen himself was watching a short drama on his new phone.

Zhou Yun Shen prefers watching rebirth dramas, where characters are given a second chance at life to make up for past regrets. The stories are all pretty much the same, but Zhou Yun Shen finds them very enjoyable.

Just as he was getting to the exciting part, a series of loud knocks came from the "gaming phone" next to him.

Zhou Yunshen quickly pressed the pause button on the short drama, picked up his gaming phone, and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Dashan." Dashan's voice came from outside the door.

"It's a mountain." Zhou Yunshen controlled his character to open the door.

After entering the house, Da Shan's expression was not good. He said with some anger, "I heard from Captain Chen that you didn't go to practice today. You spent eight taels of silver, and you only persisted for one day. And then you just say you're not going?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunshen felt a pang of shame and began to argue, or rather, to explain, "I overexerted myself while practicing yesterday and got a minor injury, so I didn't go."

Upon hearing this, Da Shan's expression softened, and he said, "I see. Okay, then I'll go talk to Captain Chen and ask him to postpone teaching you the skills for a few days."

Zhou Yunshen said, "Okay, thank you for your help."

Da Shan waved his hand and said, "We're all brothers, there's no trouble at all."

After seeing Da Shan off, Zhou Yun thought to himself, "Should I postpone teaching him for a few days? By then, my strength will probably surpass his. Then, will he teach me, or will I teach him?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Yunshen couldn't help but shake his head.

That day, by noon in the game, the "slightly tired" status in the character's status bar finally disappeared.

Zhou Yunshen then controlled his character and walked towards the open space not far from his home to begin practicing the "Spirit Ape Body Forging Technique".

Proficiency +1

Proficiency +1

Proficiency +1...

A series of lines appeared, each indicating a proficiency level increase of 1.

That day, Zhou Yunshen continued cultivating until nearly dusk before finally stopping his character's cultivation.

At this point, the character is in a state of slight fatigue and hunger.

After a day of cultivation, Zhou Yunshen discovered that as long as he kept his finger on the phone screen, his character could cultivate normally, but once his finger left the screen, the character's cultivation would come to a standstill.

It has to be a finger; nothing else can be pressed on the screen.

This is yet another thing that science cannot explain.

Zhou Yunshen, however, was not surprised by this.

Because there are just too many things in this game that science can't explain...

……

Time flies, and another day has arrived in the game world.

Because I didn't overtrain yesterday, when my character woke up today, the status bar only showed a slight hunger, not fatigue.

Therefore, as soon as he finished breakfast, Zhou Yunshen controlled his character to go to the open space not far from his home and began a new day of cultivation.

He had one hand on the screen of his gaming phone and the other on his new phone, searching for information about the game "Xuan Yuan Invasion".

Searching for information about the game "Xuan Yuan Invasion" has almost become his daily routine.

When it was noon in the game world, Zhou Yunshen put down his new phone and opened the character attribute panel on the game phone.

He has to do this more than ten times a day.

The main purpose is to check the character's status. If the status is not good, he has to stop training and let the character rest.

This time, as soon as Zhou Yunshen opened the character attribute panel, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Because his character's strength has increased again, and he is now in the late stage of the acquired realm.
