In the tenth round, Jiang Ran [cultivates], Gwen [breaks through], Lust [breaks through], and Snake [breaks through]!
Gwen and Lust also entered the Nascent Soul realm after this round, while [Snake] followed closely behind and entered the Golden Core realm.
The eldest elder and the first elder are both at the Nascent Soul stage, while the other elders are at the Spirit Nascent Soul stage. Jiang Ran is clearly no match for these virtual NPCs, so he cannot attempt to ambush [Snake] yet.
It's okay. Just because we can't beat them now doesn't mean we can't beat them later. Jiang Ran wants to see if these old bastards will still dare to give him attitude after he reaches the Void Realm.
This is indeed a cultivation simulation game, but it is different from real cultivation. The biggest difference is that they are the players, they are the protagonists!
They can reach the level that others have to work hard for hundreds or thousands of years in just a few rounds. This is the unreasonable part of the game. NPCs are like a group of cultivators whose level will never change. Sooner or later, they will be trampled underfoot by the players.
In the eleventh round, Jiang Ran [cultivates], Gwen [cultivates], Lust [ambushes], and Snake [cultivates]!
Jiang Ran frowned and glanced at Lust, because Lust's target was Jiang Ran!
"Big brother, don't look at me like that. It's just a game. You're the most advanced right now, so we should at least target you, right?"
Lust had no other intentions; it was simply the instinct of a gamer to win the game.
"If she wants to win, let her win. All we need to do is team up and suppress the [Snake], right?"
Gwen made this suggestion, since their ultimate goal was to obtain the Heart of Lust, and whether they won the game or not didn't really matter, as long as they could survive.
“No… I might have had that thought at first, but not anymore.” Jiang Ran’s eyes darkened. “How can we guarantee that lust won’t kill us after we win the game?”
"You should know that she is a bizarre creature, a [great sin], and is by nature an untrustworthy person."
"No matter how low the probability is, as long as it's not zero, I will never entrust my fate to someone else!"
In the twelfth round, Jiang Ran [Defense], Gwen [Breakthrough], Lust [Sneak Attack], and Snake [Breakthrough]!
Jiang Ran knew that this girl, Lu Yu, was very simple-minded. Once she tasted the sweetness, she would keep doing it. He had to be careful of her. Although he did manage to prevent it, it slowed down his progress by one round.
[Snake] has caught up with the progress and reached the Nascent Soul stage, while Gwen is quietly making a fortune and has reached the Deity Transformation stage!
The sect leader invites you to become the sect's new second elder.
"So, do you think I should accept?"
"Accept it, why not?"
Gwen nodded, then gave the snake a malicious smile.
Soon, [Snake] received a new card.
The sect's second elder has reduced your favorability towards you by 999 and withheld your cultivation resources. Your chance of breaking through next time has decreased by 10%.
Damn it!
In the thirteenth round, Jiang Ran [breaks through], Gwen [cultivates], Lust [cultivates], and Snake [cultivates]!
Sure enough, lust, having suffered a setback, would no longer think of plotting against him, which allowed Jiang Ran to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage. However, [Snake] could have taken the opportunity to plot against Jiang Ran in this round, so why was he able to hold back? Is he a Ninja Turtle?
"From beginning to end, he doesn't seem to have ever plotted against anyone else..."
Jiang Ran decisively declined the invitation from the sect elders.
"Hey, you, you asked me to agree and then you refused?"
“Yes, because we wanted to see if the authority to become an elder was high enough.” Jiang Ran rubbed Gwen’s head. “Besides, only one of us needs to win, so only one person needs to walk this path.”
In the fourteenth round, Jiang Ran [cultivates], Gwen [cultivates], Snake [breaks through], and Lust [breaks through]!
Both were at the Nascent Soul stage and attempted a breakthrough, but [Snake] successfully broke through to the Divine Transformation stage, while Lust's luck ran out again, and he failed to break through once more.
"Hmm..."
The fifteenth round begins, and yet another "serendipitous encounter" begins!
[The Upper Sect's disciple-acceptance ceremony has begun. The Upper Sect's leader (Mahayana) has noticed your rapid progress and wishes to accept you as a disciple. If you agree, you will receive a pill, and the Upper Sect's leader's favorability will increase by 1.]
Jiang Ran directly changed his current sect, and the pills he obtained could increase his chances of breaking through to the next level by 50%. Combined with the increase in probability from each cultivation session, the chances of breaking through to the next level would be 100%.
Because Gwen became an elder, she naturally wasn't eligible to be accepted as a disciple by the sect.
As for lust and [Snake], I don't know about lust, but with [Snake]'s strength at the Nascent Soul stage, entering the upper sect should not be a problem.
"Gwen, can you see the [Snake] card with your ability now?"
"Not necessarily, after all, he's a [zodiac animal], not a person, but we can give it a try!"
"Hmm...I see! I'll read it to you!"
[The Upper Sect's disciple-acceptance ceremony has begun. The Upper Sect's leader (Mahayana) has noticed your rapid progress and wishes to accept you as a disciple. If you agree, you will receive a pill, and the Upper Sect's leader's favorability will increase by 1. Furthermore, you are the only disciple who has never betrayed a fellow disciple. The leader believes you are full of righteousness and has decided to pass on his skills to you, increasing your next breakthrough probability by 100% and increasing the leader's favorability by 2.]
So, was there a hidden interest involved in whether or not a conspiracy was hatched?
"Gwen, you take the next turn."
In the fifteenth round, Jiang Ran [breaks through], Gwen [ambushes], Lust [breaks through], and Snake [breaks through]!
Jiang Ran successfully reached the Void Transformation stage, and Lust also reached the Nascent Soul stage. [Snake], due to Gwen's forced interruption of its breakthrough, could only obediently remain in the Nascent Soul stage and lose two more points of life.
[A member of a lower sect ambushed a disciple of a higher sect. The sect leader personally intervened and killed you to uphold the dignity of the higher sect. Your health points decreased by 10.]
[You have died. Please wait for the game results of other players.]
Gwen: "Huh?!"
Jiang Ran comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Whether the snake deducts health points is irrelevant now, since it always has some strange ways to restore them. In this game, as long as you're not instantly killed, health points are the most useless thing.
Jiang Ran only wanted the [Snake] to be stalled for this round! He wanted to widen the gap in their cultivation levels!
[Snake] took advantage of every opportunity to avoid factors that were unfavorable to him and caught up with the progress that was originally lagging behind. He was even showing signs of surpassing Jiang Ran. So, Jiang Ran suppressed him again!
"[Snake], why are you so eager to catch up with your cultivation progress? And what will your next 'fortuitous encounter' be?"
