Fatal Game Syndrome

Ruan Lanzhu got up from the ground and brushed off the dust on his body, then reached out and pulled Ling Jiushi up, "Let's go back first, they are still waiting!"

When we returned to the main peak, we saw a group of people waiting at the entrance for a long time, not only the Obsidian people were there, but also the old man Zheng Jun.

"Brother Ruan! Brother Lingling!"

Seeing the two coming back, Cheng Qianli came over excitedly. His eyes did not linger on them at all. He stretched his neck and looked back hard. After searching around, he did not see even a single dragon hair. "Where is the dragon? Why are you two the only ones back?"

The others were also confused. Didn’t the person who just called say that he was bringing Long back with him?

"He ran off to play, saying he wanted to carve out a territory for himself!"

Ling Jiushi patted Cheng Qianli, who was pouting, and said, "He has already entered Lanjing with us. We will have a chance to meet him!"

"Then I'll be leaving first. Remember to call me when Long comes back!"

Zheng Jun, who didn't see the dragon, ran away in a hurry without saying a word. His legs were nimble and as fast as the wind. His energy was so boundless that the group of young people felt inferior to him!

After seeing off Zheng Jun, the group chatted and laughed as they walked towards the main hall. However, Ruan Lanzhu was absent-minded the whole way. Cheng Qianli thought that Brother Ruan was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to speak.

"Chen Fei, go collect all the materials and books related to cultivation, especially those folk classics!"

Chen Fei looked back at Ruan Lanzhu in surprise. What happened to the boss? Why did he suddenly want to collect information related to cultivation? So the boss's second-year syndrome came late but arrived?

Do you have to be so expressive? Ruan Lanzhu rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to the exaggerated surprised expressions of this group of people. He waved his hand and urged Chen Fei to hurry up and do the work. "Go out and arrange for someone to collect it. The sooner the better. If you have any questions, we'll talk to you when you come back!"

"Row!"

Chen Fei left readily. Everyone knew that Ruan Lanzhu was not the kind of person who would mobilize a large number of troops without any reason. Since he made such arrangements, there must be a reason.

"Brother Ruan, why are you collecting those things? Is it true that spiritual energy is about to revive as they say on the Internet?"

Tan Zaozao approached Ruan Lanzhu mysteriously and asked in a low voice. Ling Jiushi glanced at her and leaned over, "Almost!"

Tan Zaozao was shocked, her eyes widened in disbelief. Not to mention that Brother Lingling would never lie to her, let's just talk about Ruan Lanzhu, he is not so boring that people have to believe what Ling Jiushi just said, so is the spiritual energy really revived?

Ruan Lanzhu looked at the two people who were whispering in front of his chest and felt helpless. It was obvious that their voices were quite loud, so why did they have to act so mysterious?

Ruan Lanzhu walked to the stone table and sat down, slowly explaining to everyone, "The little dragon's name is Long Xiao, which means the roar of a dragon and a tiger!"

Dragon roar?

Everyone touched their chins and smacked their hands, thinking the name was so nice!

"After Long Xiao entered Lanjing, he discovered that he could absorb the spiritual energy here. It's not as simple as we thought!"

Everyone was stunned. Not as simple as they thought?

Does this mean that what is floating in the air is not a string of codes? But the legendary spiritual energy?

"Lanjing is not a virtual space game created by Lingling, but an inadvertent connection to a small world outside the earth. As for the chip we entered, it is the key to open the passage!"

Everyone turned to look at Ling Jiu in a daze, and at this moment they were completely in awe of this great god!

Originally, I thought that the fact that he could create the game Lanjing was already beyond the reach of all people on Earth, but I didn’t expect that he could also connect other small worlds. Although it was an unintentional result, it was still pretty awesome!

"What Long Xiao meant was that this small world originally had spiritual energy, mountains, rivers and other things, but they were changed by Ling Ling to become what we see now."

Ling Jiushi also sat down next to Ruan Lanzhu and continued to say to everyone, "Originally, these things were just a string of data in my eyes, not presented in their true form, and I accidentally remotely controlled and changed their form of existence."

"Perhaps the location of the mountains, lakes, and the direction of the rivers were forcibly changed. And these spirit beasts, demon beasts, ghosts, and monsters in Lan Realm may have lived here originally, or may have been recruited by me from other places. In fact, my technology is far from enough to create space."

"Brother Lingling is amazing!" Tan Zaozao squeezed Ling Jiushi to sit down and hugged his arm, looking at him with starry eyes, "There must be no one else in the world who can do this, right?"

"So, Brother Lingling didn't build a bridge between virtuality and reality, but built a channel between the earth and other dimensions?"

Cheng Yixie's expression of indifference that had remained unchanged for thousands of years had now turned into one of amazement and admiration. "Isn't it the same as a wormhole? The space between the two worlds is super compressed, and the channel formed after compression infinitely shortens the distance between the two worlds, allowing us to travel to the other side in the blink of an eye?"

"So Brother Ruan asked Chen Fei to find information about cultivation. Does that mean we have to start cultivating as well?"

Everyone was extremely excited, one after another, pulling the two to ask questions, and everyone's hands were shaking with excitement. This was simply great news, who wouldn't want to practice real cultivation!!!

"That's right. Before Long Xiao ran away, he used his spiritual power to circulate in our bodies, helping us to become familiar with the trajectory of the spiritual power running in our tendons and veins. Now Lan Zhu and I can absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world on our own!"

Ling Jiushi couldn't stop smiling. Both of them could be considered cultivators, and maybe they were the only ones on Earth!

"So, what about us?"

Everyone looked at the two eagerly. Cheng Qianli and Tan Zaozao even hung on Ling Jiushi's arms. "Can we practice with you, too?"

"Well..." Ling Jiushi looked awkwardly at Ruan Lanzhu and then at the people surrounding them and said dryly, "We have just learned how to absorb spiritual energy. We don't know anything else. If you want to practice, you still have to wait for Xiaolong to come back!"

"We are also just getting a glimpse of the path of cultivation. I believe that everyone has read related novels or watched TV dramas, so you should know that not everyone is suitable for this path. Whether you can embark on this path or not, everyone must be mentally prepared!"

Ruan Lanzhu's words gradually calmed down everyone's fiery hearts. Yes, not everyone can practice. Doesn't the novel say that there are different levels of aptitude?

"But don't be disappointed. Think about the speed of time flow in Lanjing and the real world!"

Ling Jiushi's words made everyone look up again. Didn't they test the speed of time flow on both sides before? Even if they didn't practice, they could live in Lanjing with everyone for a long, long time, especially people like Tan Zaozao who no longer had a physical body. As long as they didn't commit suicide, they should be able to exist forever, right?

"Since Lanjing is not a game, should it still be released?"

Li Dongyuan took out a large teapot and placed it on the table, and then took out a stack of paper cups and placed them in a circle. "The authorities have already stationed here. Should we tell them about this?"

Everyone watched his actions in silence. When he handed them the paper cup, they took it and held it in their hands. Looking at the black liquid in the cup with small bubbles, their admiration for Li Dongyuan reached a new level.

“Not released anymore!”

Ling Jiushi held the paper cup of Coke in his hand and pondered for a moment before saying, "Since this is a real world, it is full of things beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is a dangerous place where ordinary people can easily lose their lives. Maybe this is the place everyone dreams of, but we can't take them into danger at will."

"As for the official side, Lan Zhu and I will go to the military camp later and discuss the specific situation with them before making a decision."

Ling Jiushi's gaze fell on Wang Xiaoyi, Zhang Zishuang and Zhong Chengjian. Now all his people were in Lanjing. Xiong Qi and Xiao Ke were fine, but he was not even familiar with these three. It seemed inappropriate for him to continue staying here.

The three of them shrank their necks and dared not speak. They wanted to stay here. Even a fool knew that it was better here than outside.

Looking at the three people who were cowering, Ling Jiushi sighed and thought, why not let them stay for now, maybe to help sweep the floor and run errands!

When Ruan Lanzhu and the other went to the military camp, Zhang Weimin had just come in from outside, looking a little tired and dusty.

The three of them talked for a long time in Zhang Weimin's office, and Zhang Weimin also calmed down from his initial shock.

"I will re-select a group of elite troops to be stationed in Lanjing as soon as possible. From now on, the official chips will be invalidated and replaced with ordinary chips to be issued to each soldier. Others should not come into contact with Lanjing!"

The fewer people who know about the situation in Lanjing, the better. I’m afraid that everyone will do anything to stay. Even soldiers with strict discipline may not be able to withstand such temptation.

Doesn’t Zhang Weimin want the soldiers under his command to be extraordinary?

No! He wants it more than anyone else!

But he doesn't necessarily have to be in Lanjing. He can ask Ling Jiushi and others for help. Maybe he can practice outside. If he succeeds, maybe the entire Chinese nation can really practice Taoism!

"Okay!" Ling Jiushi nodded decisively, "I'll give you some more chips when the time comes. You can give them to whoever you want!"

After seeing off Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi, Zhang Weimin sat in a chair with deep emotion. He had encountered an opportunity that had not been available for thousands of years. With Lanjing around, even if the Earth was in chaos, China would be able to retain the spark of civilization.

This place will serve as China's most advanced secret weapon, so he needs to hurry up and plan it carefully with his superiors. The area of ​​the space that Ling Jiushi had opened up separately for the officialdom is almost as large as the capital city. They need to build and utilize this place well, especially those important lifelines of the country. He will only feel at ease if they are all stored here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Weimin, who had been working non-stop for several days and had originally planned to come in for a nap, jumped up from his chair and hurried out again.

Within a week, everything had been settled on Zhang Weimin's side. He selected two thousand elite troops to re-enter Lanjing, and at the same time selected a group of top talents from various industries.

On the Obsidian side, Xiaolong has been leading everyone to try to draw Qi into their bodies. Although there are huge differences in their aptitudes, most people can embark on the path of cultivation, except for Wang Xiaoyi and the other three and Xiao Ke. In Xiaolong's words, their tendons and veins are like dead old trees, and spiritual energy cannot flow through their bodies at all.

"It's okay. Aren't you ghosts? As long as there is no external force to harm you, it is not impossible for you to live for tens of millions of years!"

The little dragon flew over everyone's heads, "It's boring to live too long. A few thousand years will be enough!"

Everyone was ashamed. Living for a few thousand years was indeed enough, but what they admired was not how long they could live, but the ultimate power that the monks possessed!
