"Old Zhong, stop lecturing me, I didn't do it on purpose... Didn't I just think that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring?"

Zhou Yue's face was flushed red, and Mu Yawen was also lectured by Zhong Yi until she couldn't lift her head.

He had taken Mu Yawen on a brave charge into the Top Secret Ascension, and as a result, he squandered her entire family fortune in two days and even ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) got her addicted to Top Secret Ascension.

They even sold their storage boxes, clamoring about some 'last dance'.

"Who repays kindness like this? That's returning favor with enmity!!!"

Zhong Yi glared at the two of them.

Getting addicted to Top Secret Ascension was no good thing, especially when it came to the 'Aggressive' playstyle.

Unless one was a 'Rat' player like Zhou Qiaoling, who entered with minimal gear every time to scavenge, filled their pockets with samsara seals, and then extracted,

Zhong Yi had never seen anyone associated with the word 'Aggressive' who didn't go bankrupt.

As the saying goes, there's always a taller mountain.

Zhou Yue was certainly powerful, but he wasn't the only expert in this world.

When three experts dropped in together, how could even someone like Zhou Yue handle it?

Extracting once certainly earned a lot, but for an 'Aggressive' player, dying just once meant losing equipment worth at least two million.

Even if they successfully extracted, the consumption of Spirit Bullets, Medicinal Pills, and the like would still cost nearly a million.

Therefore, playing 'Aggressive' didn't make money; it only squandered it.

Unless it was three Zhou Yues working together.

"Old Zhong, you have the nerve to say that? If the two of us can't extract, you have to take the lion's share of the blame!!"

Zhou Yue suddenly looked at Zhong Yi with immense resentment.

"What does it have to do with me? I haven't entered the Illusion Realm for five days!"

Zhong Yi expressed his confusion.

"It's all because of that Bridge-camping strategy you researched! You have no idea what the environment in Top Secret Ascension is like now. Every match has Bridge-camping dogs, we can't extract at all..."

Zhou Yue hadn't even noticed that he had habitually started calling Bridge-camping players 'Bridge-camping dogs,' even though he was among the first batch of bridge campers himself.

"Ah? Is it... is it really that bad..."

Zhong Yi blinked.

It seemed...

It really was.

He had researched this thing himself, so of course he knew how toxic it was.

Once the conditions for Bridge-camping were met, while not exactly invincible, there was at least a seventy to eighty percent win rate.

"Senior Brother Zhong, do you want to check your forum messages?"

Hearing this, Mu Yawen suddenly remembered something and looked at Zhong Yi with a worried expression.

"forum messages?"

Zhong Yi was even more puzzled and quickly used his Divided Soul to switch focus.

In the waiting interface of the Illusion Realm, one could freely enter and exit the forum.

Zhong Yi quickly saw the notification for messages that had long since reached '99+'.

【Worship the Genius Cultivator! You are simply my reborn parent!】

【A teacher for a day is a father for life! Thank you for the grace of my recreation!】

【From now on, the original poster is my father and mother!】

【I won't say anything else, please accept your child's bow!】

【Dad!!!】

...

Zhong Yi randomly clicked on a few, and suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, even a bit of small pride.

"There's no problem? Everyone is very grateful to me, but treating me like a parent or something... isn't that a bit much?"

Zhong Yi said this, but the corners of his mouth were almost curling up to the sky.

"Uh... Old Zhong, why don't you look at the other posts in the forum?"

Zhou Yue tried his best to stifle a laugh.

Hearing this, Zhong Yi entered the 'operation xianyuan zhou' section.

【I declare, may all Bridge-camping dogs die a ** death!】

【Do you not have parents anymore? All you do is stay on the bridge!!】

【Who exactly developed Bridge-camping? Are your parents even enough to die for this??】

【Stop cursing, the Bridge-camping dog might be the only one left in his family...】

【Brothers, take my advice! Let's stop fighting each other later, use secret signals to rush the Bridge-camping dogs together!!】

【Rush the Bridge-camping dogs' parents together!!】

...

???

Zhong Yi vaguely understood something.

"Hahahaha!!"

Beside him, Zhou Yue could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing:

"Old Zhong, the disciples you taught know their own family members aren't enough to go around, so they're borrowing parents everywhere... Hahahaha!!!"

...

...

operation xianyuan zhou gradually got on the right track, and its popularity grew better and better.

Everything was developing in the direction Lu Ze was familiar with.

In particular, the two groups, the 'Rats' and the 'Bridge-camping dogs,' were very much in the spotlight, and more and more players came to the Illusion Realm to play.

The impact on reality was also not small.

The forging masters of the cultivation world were attracted by the design of 'guns,' which were very suitable for low-level Cultivators with low cultivation bases.

It was said that the first batch of Spirit Gun Magic Treasures was being rushed into production...

At the same time, due to the influence of Bridge-camping, backstabbing, and the like, combined with the recent incidents of the Demonic Path lurking at teleportation formations, the Righteous Cultivators became more and more cautious, catching many Undercover Demonic Path Cultivators in succession...

...

"Strange, is the Demonic Path really slowly recovering its Origin Qi?"

Lu Ze muttered to himself curiously, a bad premonition in his heart.

This broken Demonic Path System of his would occasionally say the Demonic Path forces were stirring and ask him to help.

He originally thought this System was just a malfunctioning, misplaced System, but now it seemed many things were coming true?

For example, the last time the System asked him to summon evil spirits, a ghost calamity really did break out in Xianyuan Zhou...

Lu Ze couldn't help but feel some doubt.

Could it be that the Demonic Path was really about to rise?

"No... things of the Demonic Path should only exist within the Illusion Realm."

Lu Ze shook his head, strengthening his resolve.

While using the Illusion Realm to complete Demonic Path missions, he would simultaneously help the Righteous Path crush the various plans of the Demonic Path in reality.

After all, he felt that living in the Lingxiao Sect was quite good right now.

If those mentally unstable Demonic Path people were really allowed to stir up a bloodbath, it would instead be a hassle.

"Whatever, I'll go buy some food first..."

Lu Ze stretched and walked out of the Lingyu Pavilion.

As a proper Nascent Soul Cultivator, he didn't actually need to eat.

But not needing to didn't mean he couldn't; he quite enjoyed gourmet food.

Therefore, every once in a while, he would go to the Lingyue Tower on Lihuo Peak to stock up.

"Senior Brother Lu!!!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Not long after he walked out of the Lingyu Pavilion, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

Lu Ze turned around and saw a young man wearing the uniform of an Inner Sect Disciple, staring at him with a face full of excitement.

He quickly searched through his memory and soon recognized the person's identity.

“Zhang Ming?”
