Holding Onto My Man

Chapter 41

Not even mentioning that it was just a game, it didn’t matter whether someone was a human or a demon, because in the real world of immortality, as long as someone wasn’t a fool, they wouldn’t go against their own interests.

Today, Song Xianxun went crazy when she played the game. When she saw that Gu Bai wanted to help the demon Qianmo Pei, she immediately shouted at him angrily.

[Human] Ningbo Fairy: You can’t let him go! He is a demon, and you are a human. How can you help a demon, since letting him go will bring disaster to the world!

Gu Bai was sure that the girl must have been fooled by the computer, to the point where the game and reality couldn’t be separated clearly. He took a look at her and made his avatar smile.

[Human] Shangguan Yu: You wanted to besiege and kill me just now, so why should I listen to you? One magic weapon is worth more than one hundred thousand, elder sister. You have no problems with your brain, right? Besides, even if he wasn’t offering them, if you wanted to stop it, I would still let him go!

Him saying “elder sister” made Song Xianxun really angry, and Ling Chen next to her also became angry, and their game characters started shining red.

[Human] Lord of the East: Bitch!

[Human] Ningbo fairy: Shangguan Yu, no matter what kind of enmity we have, we are all humans. We should fight against the demons together... Hmph, big devil, do you think this little profit can make human cultivators do harm upon our own race? You look down on us!

The latter sentence was obviously directed at Qianmo Pei.

After that speech, Gu Bai almost couldn’t help laughing out loud. It seemed that Song Xianxun must have definitely been made stupid by electricity when she entered the game today, as she was completely immersed in the game world.

The face of Blushing Beauty next to her seemed to be twitching.

Qianmo Pei stared at her for a while before talking.

[Demon] Qianmo Pei: Little profit? Then what about immortal weapons? Whoever helps me today, I’ll give them an immortal weapon.

Im-Im-Immortal.....Immortal Weapon!

As soon as Qianmo Pei’s words came out, the cave suddenly became quiet, leaving only the players in the game world, including Gu Bai, with wide eyes.

In fact, playing the game was very expensive. The game “Record of Immortal Cultivation” was played with money. If you wanted good equipment, you could either toil away at beating a BOSS or spend money to buy it. The magic weapons just now were already very expensive. An immortal weapon was not achievable by ordinary players.

The purchase price of an immortal weapon was hundreds of thousands of yuan. Countless numbers of players were poor in real life. The players who had immortal weapons in the game were all super gods and local tyrants.

Of course, selling something so expensive also catered to the meaning of the game “Record of Immortal Cultivation.” After all, obtaining immortal artifacts in the cultivation world was not so simple.

Now, this elder brother was giving away not only a magical weapon but also an immortal weapon, and even if he wasn’t a powerful gamer, now he definitely was a local tyrant!

Song Xianxun was obviously shocked speechless. Blushing Beauty beside her was ready to go.

It’s coming.

Seeing this, Gu Bai quickly waved his whip up. Three attack spells fell on several people and KO’d them directly.

[Human] Lord of the East: Bitch! (anger)

[Human] Ningbo Fairy: You even attacked! (unbelievable)

[Human] Blushing Beauty: Shangguan Yu, you shameless bitch. Bastard! (anger)

Hearing the swearing of several people, Gu Bai smiled, took a deep breath, bought a group of speakers, and shouted again in the world.

[World] Shangguan Yu: Alias account, alias account, all players in the world, please take note.

From now on, whoever kills Ningbo Fairy, Lord of the East, or Blushing Beauty during the next month, take a picture as evidence, and I’ll give you 100,000 Lingshi and a bottle of elixir!

Although he didn’t have Qianmo Pei’s, the local tyrant’s, magic weapons worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, it was okay to spend tens of thousands of yuan and some pills. Besides, he had improved his alchemy skills now, so the pills didn’t cost anything.

The best way to abuse people in the game was not to fight monsters by yourself, but to find someone else to champion you. Being a money-throwing local tyrant was so cool!

As soon as the world broadcast went out, the players in the game world began to drool.

No one had heard of Ningbo Fairy or Blushing Beauty, but as for Lingchen’s Lord of the East, he had some fame. His rank was average, but he hung onto an elder’s post in a big sect by throwing money around. Chasing and killing him might offend the big sect.

However, no one could resist the temptation of self-interest. If Gu Bai’s reward was converted into real life money, it would be worth tens of thousands of yuan, which was quite a lot.

Therefore, the crowd was moved. If worst came to worst, and the Lord of the East was sneakily overwhelmed, who would know who killed him? The person who offered the reward certainly wouldn’t tell.

As for the other two, that was even easier. Since they haven’t heard of them, then those two must be nothing much, and it was just giving away money at this point. People began to look for the accounts of these people and were eager to receive the reward....

Song Xianxun’s face was green now. She had just gotten rid of the white knights, but now they were all back again! Every time I die, I’ll be electrified, motherfucker!

No matter what the expressions of everyone were, Gu Bai attacked them with a Taoist method and directly knocked the three people offline.

Because the game characters were killed in real life, their bodies would be punished by electric shock. Song Xianxun and her group would be electrified for a full minute as soon as they fell offline. However, the game company had set a limit and wouldn’t take a human life.

“It’s disgusting. I’ve never seen such an arrogant person before!” Song Xianxun took off the game helmet and complained bitterly.

Wang Lele, a good friend in the dormitory, also angrily threw her helmet away and said, “No, we can’t swallow it down like this. Shangguan Yu’s a stinky son of a bitch who has bullied us three or four times now. We must find a way to get out this mess!”

“But how can we vent our anger? In the game, we can at most yell at her. We can’t beat her, and you don’t actually want us to do the same thing and find people to hunt her down, right?”

“That’s also true. It’s disgusting. Shangguan Yu is not like a girl. Look at the way she beat us before; she was like a man. She must be a violent dinosaur monster in real life. Hum!”

“A man-like dinosaur... Lele, I have an idea. Come here, I’ll tell you... ”

Hearing Wang Lele’s words, Song Xianxun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, quickly pulling over her friend and whispering to her.

After listening, Wang Lele smiled. “Xianxun, I could never tell that you are so bad. There must be no boy in the game world who would team up with her in the future...”

“No, the dinosaur girl is still so arrogant. As expected, ugly people make lots of mistakes!”

Song Xianxun hmphed a bit.

..................

On the other side, having solved several problems, Gu Bai clapped his hands and looked at Qianmo Pei.

[Human] Shangguan Yu: Okay, now that they’ve left, let’s talk. Just now you said that if I help you, you’ll give me an immortal weapon, right?

[Demon] Qianmo Pei: I stand by my words. Please help me pull out the soul pins.

Just now, he had been delayed for half a day, and the other party had been a little impatient. He wasn’t lucky enough to know what triggered this event. He’d been stuck here for a month, but no one could help him. He had to be selected by the system. Obviously, he’d been arranged for this hidden task by the system. No one could do this sort of thing except for the development team!

In addition to the real-life simulation holography, the most special thing about Record of Immortal Cultivation was that its program was very flexible. As long as one entered the game world, almost all the program settings were the same as the real world, and it was very flexible and intelligent.

It wasn’t easy to meet someone who could help him today. It was just an immortal weapon, so it wasn’t as important as letting him out. Otherwise, who knew how long this game account would stay here? It would be a pity if this account was lost.

In addition, this holographic online game had one of the best features. That was, the facial expressions of the characters were also very wonderful, so Gu Bai clearly saw the expression on Qianmo Pei’s face, and he smiled in his heart and continued to talk.

[Human] Shangguan Yu: OK, but before you do anything, can you give me a deposit first? The person just now said it correctly. We’re in a dilemma. If I let you go, what will you do next?

[Demon] Qianmo Pei: ...Do you think I won’t stand by my word?

Gu Bai didn’t speak. He looked up at the game’s clear skies.

Qianmo Pei looked at Gu Bai with no expression. His eyes were inexplicably sharp, as if to pierce dozens of holes in his body.

But Gu Bai kept looking up at the sky and pretending to be stupid.

After a long time, Qianmo Pei looked away, but his eyes were still cold. He summoned a shining and gorgeous artifact from the system and placed it in front of him.

Gu Bai’s eyes brightened, and he accepted it without saying a word and then came to Qianmo Pei.

[Human] Shangguan Yu: You can tell just with a look that this immortal weapon is the real thing. Thank you very much, elder brother. But before I save you, I want to tell you something.

[Demon] Qianmo Pei: What?

[Human] Shangguan Yu: I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of something like someone not standing by their word?

[Demon] Qianmo Pei: ...

Qianmo Pei paused, and the next moment was dark. After a painful electric shock, he found out that his character had been killed and disconnected.

Here, as soon as Qianmo Pei died and dropped offline, Gu Bai immediately heard a system prompt sound in his ear and then found that his game character level immediately soared up.

There was a lot of equipment scattered on the ground, and a shining “Divine” word floated in the air. If you wanted to be a great God player in the game world, then this divine prop was a must-have.

Gu Bai picked everything up and logged off immediately.

If it was someone else, most people, even if they wouldn’t save him, they wouldn’t try to kill Qianmo Pei. They would know that he was a great God just by looking at his equipment. Once they had a feud, there would be nowhere in the game world to hide, since being hunted by a great God in the game world was the same as being on the Emperor’s wanted list.

But Gu Bai was not the same as most people. From the very beginning, he had no intention to save Qianmo Pei. After all, the other player was Song Xianxun’s fan in the original plot. Although they didn’t have a cordial meeting today, who knew if Qianmo Pei would help Song Xianxun again like in the original plot.

For these potential enemies, it was natural for Gu Bai to stab them the moment he met them, even if he couldn’t really kill them off. Killing them could make them lose a game level at most, but it was still better than nothing. When Gu Bai grew into a God in the game world, then he wouldn’t have to fear anyone....

Just a few minutes after he went offline, Qianmo Pei’s game character came back to life.

After looking around the cave, the man with a demon’s domineering character didn’t discover any trace of Gu Bai. He angrily fired several attacks at the cave before he stopped and left.

“What a good person who doesn’t stand by their word! You are the first one who dares to play with me!”

In the real world, a man with the game helmet opened his eyes with a livid face, said a word with his teeth clenched, immediately took out his mobile phone, and dialed a phone number.

“Hello, Jason, go and get the account information of a Record of Immortal Cultivation player right now and pass it to me in half an hour...”

“OK.”

Half an hour later

“So it’s actually you...”

The man, who just a moment ago had an angry complexion, stared at Gu Bai’s delicate and pretty holographic projection in front of him, touched his chin, and showed a smile of interest.
