Chapter 379 Learning to wait is the first lesson of cultivating immortality
Lao Pi took a breath.
Now that I have two entries, I will definitely continue traveling!
[Do you want to continue traveling? —Yes]
【Dusk is approaching, and the shadows in the forest are growing longer.】
【Night falls.】
[Your entry "Midnight Walker" takes effect]
You encountered a jumping weasel at the foot of the mountain and paid it no attention.
The weasel suddenly started cursing at you, and you choked on the water out of fear.
[Cultivation -1, State of Mind -1.]
The live broadcast room was full of laughter:
"Haha ...!"
"I have a feeling that the path to immortality in this game will mostly rely on metaphysics."
"Luckily there are midnight pedestrians, otherwise I feel the anchor might have been in danger just now!"
Lao Pi smiled and continued to click "Travel".
【You encounter a hungry wild boar in the woods. 】
[The crude bamboo sword attacks, dealing 1 point of damage.]
【The wild boar is angry and charges at you.】
[Health -30%, Status: Medium Injury]
"???" Lao Pi cursed loudly:
"I'm here to cultivate immortality, not to be pushed around by pigs!"
Some people in the live broadcast room were at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"Does the host not have any defensive skills? Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured so much."
"Ahahahahahaha, I'm afraid that Whale Leap's numerical planning is taking revenge on society."
"Hurry up, anchor! Stop traveling! You've got a 166-hour cooldown waiting for you!"
Lao Pi took a deep breath,
A small -30% status shouldn't have much impact!
Lao Pi chose "Continue Traveling"
【You enter a moonlit valley. 】
[There is a magical spring in the valley, and the water glows with a faint fluorescent light.]
[You take a sip, your cultivation level increases by 5, and your condition recovers slightly.]
"Oh, this is metaphysics, God is compensating me!"
Before he finished speaking, a new prompt flashed out:
【You hear a slight gurgling sound coming from under the spring.】
[The next second, a giant cyan snake covered in scales burst through the spring water and pounced straight at them!]
[You tried to dodge, but your movements were slow due to your severe injuries.]
[The green snake throws you away with one bite, crashing into the mountain wall.]
[Life -50%.]
The corner of Lao Pi's eye twitched: "It's okay, it's okay, there's still some blood left, I can still run!"
[Just as you were about to turn around and flee, another larger green snake wrapped around you from the side.]
You hear bones breaking.
【Character dies.】
Black screen.
[You died from: Twin Green-Scaled Snakes entangled and killed]
[Items cleared, cultivation cleared, entries cleared]
[Unfulfilled Ambition entry is triggered, you can record a last word for your character]
The air felt like someone was strangling my throat.
Lao Pi was stunned for five seconds, then said blankly:
"...My journey to becoming an immortal is over?"
“…That’s all?”
Lao Pi stared at the black screen, there was no sound.
The live broadcast room was silent for a second, and then the barrage was filled with:
“???????”
“You’re dead???”
"Didn't the host just say this game was casual? Hahahahaha!"
"My path to immortality: It started with a black hen and ended with twin green-scaled snakes."
Then, the last line of small print appeared:
[You cannot create a character again this week]
[Newcomer Guarantee: You still have 1 "Extra Reincarnation" chance, do you want to use it?]
[Extra Reincarnation: After one week, you can choose to revive this character, limited to once]
Lao Pi felt a chill in his heart and immediately clicked on the character panel that had turned gray.
The result... is blank.
“…Fuck! All the entries are gone???”
"My, my fucking limiting entry! [Unfulfilled Ambition]!"
"I put in so much effort to get this! And this... it's gone already???"
"Although the numbers aren't great, it's a status symbol!"
It’s only the first day, first game, first character, and it’s all gone to waste?
"This is such a beast! I just want to travel! Travel! You want me to get bitten to death by a snake? I'm not going to play around!"
"And after my character dies, it's gone straight away, right?"
"Wait a week? I've only been playing for a few minutes! You want me to wait a week?!"
"What kind of hospitality is this?"
"Also, this means that my account is now useless?"
“What a huge loss!”
"If I had known I would have used a simulation!"
The live broadcast room's barrage of comments suddenly flooded the screen like a tide:
"Whale Leap is a simulation of true cultivation. If you die, you'll have to wait for reincarnation!"
"Whale Leap: What I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you have to wait a week!"
"Host, do you remember the opening warning? The price of failure could be a week of waiting. He's serious!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha now you know what simulated incense is!"
"Anchor: Real men refuse to imitate, real men go straight to Shekou."
“All unfulfilled ambitions will be fulfilled today.”
"Whale Leap: You deserve it if there's no entry."
"Cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven. There's no way you can become an immortal for free."
Lao Pi almost vomited blood.
He looked at the countdown on his phone.
"This game is so unethical! Not only does it not give players any choices, but it also kills players instantly, loses all their attributes, and then forces them to wait a week? This isn't called 'Certificate of Immortality,' it's called 'Certificate of Waiting'!"
"It is recommended that Whale Leap disband on the spot."
"My desire to cultivate immortality has not even ignited, but you poured a bucket of cold water on me!"
"I finally understand why this game has such a popular marketing campaign. Without it, no one would play this game!"
"This game is absolutely intentionally disgusting! Absolutely!"
Lao Pi was filled with anger and exited the game interface in anger.
Open the forum directly.
At this time, he wanted to see if other people were also victims like him.
As soon as I refreshed the interface, the posts on the homepage exploded, filled with familiar insults.
In less than an hour,
There are many people who have experienced the same thing as him!
[I died from a snake in the water. The entry is gone. Cool down for a week. Whale Leap, are you a dog? ]
I can't even survive a single day in this immortal cultivation game? What else can I play now?
[Don't you even have a "newbie protection period"? Planner, are you willing to come out and apologize?]
Is this game even playable? I died in an hour, so I'll just have to wait until next week.
[I died after traveling twice. Does this game mean you can't survive?]
[One week of cooling down, this operation is really against the will of heaven! ]
[I've never seen a game with such a long cooldown time! Whale Leap, you're really getting better!]
[Is the planner crazy? The entry system is clearly designed for development, and you're telling me it's gone if I die? ? ?]
Every title seems to be expressing Lao Pi’s inner thoughts.
As soon as he opened it, the content area was filled with noise.
"I'm not saying anything, but I logged in less than 40 minutes ago when I encountered a rockfall and was instantly crushed to death, and all my belongings were wiped out.
Holy shit, the [Gentle Breeze] item I saved up is gone! Can you believe this? Something from a limited event just disappears like that? I'm vomiting blood!
"Damn, I was queuing up in front of the pharmacy to buy medicine, but a nasty NPC snatched it from me. I was sentenced to death on the street by the system for disturbing public order???"
"This time I really want to curse. What kind of trick is this? I don't understand!"
Another popular post title is more straightforward:
[Whale Leap Planning, I would like to call you the biggest villain of the year]
The author wrote with great emotion:
"You call this game a Cultivation Simulator? No, it's a Torture Simulator! I just drank some water from a broken well while traveling, and it said 'Water quality unknown, death by poisoning'. Huh? I can die just by drinking water? How can this be called Cultivation?"
"This game doesn't give you any room for maneuver. You say simulation, cool down once a week,
You said traveling, nine out of ten people will die or get hurt.
And death will clear all progress.
This is not design, this is naked punishment!"
"We play games to relax, not to be tortured!"
"No choice, only being dominated, what a joke!"
Lao Pi nodded his head as he watched, almost slamming his head on the table and yelling, "Yes! That's it!"
He quickly replied, "Me too. I drank the spiritual spring water and two snakes popped out and tore me into pieces."
In less than a minute, several people responded:
"Hahahahaha, brother, we are in the same boat."
"This game is so unethical. There's absolutely no way to survive."
"Whale Leap: Let players learn to wait, this is the first lesson in cultivating immortality."
"Haha, after waiting like this, my gaming spirit has completely cooled down."
