But soon, Su Lin cheered up again.
We are just ordinary people, there's no need for us to compare ourselves to the only spirit in the world.
Just focus on cultivating immortality steadily, and strive for a little breakthrough every day. As for inspiration, seize it if it comes, and don't force it if it doesn't.
Anyway, there's still enough time. As long as we follow Xiao Linlin's plan and do every little detail well, we'll go all out and have no regrets about the future outcome.
Su Lin composed himself, suppressed his cultivation, and like a woodcutter descending a mountain, followed the road forward.
Two days later.
He was far from the mountains and forests, and traveled to the nearest town.
This town is different from other worlds, with a very different architectural style, but it is still a place where people live, and the human nature of living in groups has not changed.
As Su Lin walked along the official road, he mostly encountered ordinary people and did not see any local cultivators among the NPCs.
This place must be quite remote, and not many cultivators are willing to come here, which makes it possible for Xiaoyun Temple to be established.
If it were a good place, it would have been occupied by the local immortal sects long ago, and Su Lin wouldn't have had the chance to build his mountain gate here.
Before leaving, Su Lin took a lot of local spirit stones and currency from his followers to keep on his person.
His inspiration this time was different; he no longer needed to live that savage life, just simple and easygoing.
As the crowd entered the town, Su Lin once again witnessed the vibrant atmosphere of the game world, bustling and noisy with people everywhere. Su Lin strolled slowly along the street, his gaze sweeping over one NPC after another.
Observe the myriad aspects of human life, and comprehend the true nature of yourself.
I walked through several streets, witnessed children's distress, saw old men carrying loads, and saw peasant women hurling insults. I even heard a young, ruthless bandit whispering threats at a fleeing person in an alley...
The so-called Tao follows nature; to attain enlightenment through worldly experience should be... wait, no! A survivor?!
Su Lin stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on the depths of a deserted alley beside the street, as he extended his divine sense.
Before long, he "saw" the scene inside the alley.
In a dimly lit corner, a young man with a small bag slung over his waist and a gleaming gold dagger in his hand cornered a man with sallow hair against the wall, still menacing him.
"Hand over the supplies! Where did you hide your backpack? Take it out and let me see!"
The young man shouted sharply, his tone filled with murderous intent.
"B-Big Brother, we're on the same side, there's no need to do this! People really do die in B-rank hard matches! Besides, there's no mandatory option for infighting in this match!"
The blond-haired boy was stunned and panicked, repeatedly emphasizing the danger of this match.
It was a game where people could really die. Smart people should be on guard and not dare to provoke others. They should be hiding as much as possible. How come they ran into a fool who insisted on causing trouble for them?
Even if I were to actually fight him, without knowing his background, I would likely suffer more losses than gains, and there was even a risk of losing my life. It would be a very unprofitable situation.
"You know people die here? The rules don't forbid infighting, nor do they prohibit it. Hand over your stuff now, give me half, and I'll let you go."
The young man sneered, while the blond-haired man looked bewildered upon hearing this.
What is that?
The robbery was only halfway through?
Whose approach is this?!
"Brother, we're both people who can get into Zone B, it's not right for you to push me like this."
The blond-haired man quickly realized what was happening and continued to plead earnestly, trying to persuade the other party to abandon his murderous intent: "Aren't you afraid I'll turn on you? Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. We really don't need to kill each other!"
"Hmph, you still want to turn on me? See this dagger of mine? It's an SSS-level, deadly trump card! It's already locked onto you! As soon as I have a thought, you're dead! Can you be faster than my brainwaves?"
"Hiss... Brother, how about this? I'll hand over a third of it, okay? Leave me some supplies, I still want to escape."
"I'm a robber, not a roadside vegetable vendor! Why are you haggling with me!"
The young man was furious, but the blond-haired guy shrank back and lowered his voice: "I... oh right, I know Su Lin! You know Su Lin, right? He's the number one ranked player! He's really strong! Bro, just do Su Lin some face, okay?"
"What a joke! You think you know me? I could say I know you too! I really do know you! For Su Lin's sake, could you let me rob a little more?"
The young man's request made Huang Mao smile wryly.
Damn it, this is the first time I've ever seen a robber like this. He clearly doesn't have much intention to kill, but he insists on using his good tools to torture people. In order to increase the success rate of the robbery, he even insists on "only robbing half".
What's wrong?
Are they really afraid that the people being robbed will get desperate?
Just as Huang Mao was about to try to persuade him, a faint voice suddenly came from the alley entrance.
"Since you all know me, then give me some face and take a break."
It was Su Lin's voice; he simply couldn't bear to listen anymore.
None of them intended to kill. If a powerful survivor were to rob someone and still be so long-winded, they would have killed them immediately.
Seriously, that's so amateurish!
The two people were unaware that someone was blocking the intersection, and in their panic, they hurriedly turned around.
They saw a man blocking the alley entrance, his back to the sunlight, the darkness partially obscuring his face, only revealing his general features.
