Chapter 2: Jian Ling's Gentle Heart

  Jian Ling shrugged and said, "Of course, I'm talking about the theoretical situation. Sometimes this so-called theoretical value may never be reached, you know! So just take it as a cool game, and in addition to playing games, you can also improve your physical fitness, lest you, a nerd, die on your left or right hand before getting married!"

  Xiao Yi was stunned, thinking to himself that his physical condition had really deteriorated and wondered if it was related to his frequent interactions with his own hands. Also, how did the other person know?

  "Alright, although I like the way you're talking now, can't you tell me how to play this game? I've wasted a lot of time here and maybe the reason I'm not a top-notch expert is because I was messing around with you, a program-made guy, before starting the game!" Xiao Yu retorted mercilessly.

  Jian Ling nodded and with a wave of her arm, a light screen appeared before them. On the screen stood several people who didn't seem to be ordinary individuals.

  "First, let's choose the profession you want to play. In this game, there are three professions in total, namely Sword Cultivation, Dan Cultivation, and Symbol Cultivation! From the literal meaning, you should be able to see what these professions do!"

  Jian Ling carefully introduced Zhang Hao to the differences between the three professions and their respective advantages and disadvantages.

  The sword cultivates the art of swordsmanship, their cultivation is all on one sword. As the most powerful attacking profession among the three major professions, it's definitely worth considering choosing.

  After reaching a certain level, you can change jobs and choose between Sword Sage and Dueling Sword Sage.

  The characteristics of the Sword Immortal are controlling flying swords for long-range attacks. The so-called "taking the head of a general from a thousand miles away" refers to them.

  While the Dou Jian Xian cultivates close-range sword techniques, although it may not be as agile and carefree as the Yu Jian Xian, if a Dou Jian Xian is allowed to get close, the consequences are quite terrifying!

  Dan Xiu's cultivation is based on the Dan Tao, which emphasizes extracting beneficial things from the outside world to supplement one's own body, thereby increasing one's strength.

  After the foundation of Danxiu is laid, it can also be transferred. The transfer of Danxiu is divided into external elixir cultivation and internal elixir cultivation.

  The external alchemy emphasizes the collection of heavenly treasures, refining them to retain their essence and discard the dross. By continuously taking the self-refined elixirs, one can achieve the goal of enhancing oneself. Of course, the elixirs they refine are not only for personal consumption but also sought after by other cultivators, making them a hot commodity!

  The internal elixir emphasizes the absorption of the primordial energy of heaven and earth into one's own body, using one's own body as a crucible to cultivate this primordial energy, and then forming an elixir within one's own body to achieve the goal of ascending in broad daylight. The internal elixir of an internal elixir master is said to have the power to destroy heaven and earth, and generally no one will engage in a life-or-death struggle with an internal elixir master. If they are really forced to self-destruct their internal elixir, even sword cultivators think it's terrifying.

  Fu Xiangu is cultivating talismans, emphasizing the control of heaven and earth with one talisman. This is not an exaggeration, if truly cultivated to a certain extent, one talisman can control life and death, absolutely not joking.

  If your enemy is a spellcaster, don't give them too much time to grow. A fully-fledged spellcaster can be quite troublesome; during battle, the endless variety of spells will leave you exhausted from defending against them. Not to mention they can also use spells to tame and control spirits for their own use.

  When the level of a Sealer reaches a certain height, there are two possible career change directions. One is to start learning formations and become a formation master. The other is to start learning seals and become a terrifying seal master.

  "Alright young man, I've explained so much to you. Now take a look and decide which profession you want to choose. Choosing a profession must be done carefully, because once chosen, it cannot be changed. I'm telling you, young man, can't you hurry up? What's the meaning of you jumping around, punching and kicking here?"

  "What else could it mean? Of course, it's finding hidden professions! What about the hidden characters that are supposed to appear with up up down down left right left right A B B?"

  It turned out that this game had no hidden occupations, and even if there were, it was not something Xiao Yu could find! So he had to face the three occupations on the light screen again, and carefully consider which one to choose.

  After a long time, Xiao Yi's face was filled with tears as he said to the sword spirit: "This is really too cruel for someone with selective mutism! Otherwise, take a look and help me choose a profession that's not bad!"

  Xiao Yi likes the Sword Immortal, after all, holding a flying sword is so cool! But thinking about it, Dan Xiu and Fu Xiu should be more profitable here! Moreover, Dan Xiu doesn't need to exert effort in battle, just constantly refining dan is enough.

  Is it possible to catch a small baby first and then train the pet to let the pet fight monsters and level up?

  "Sorry, the system doesn't authorize me to do this. Please quickly choose your own profession!" Jian Ling said very officially!

  "Can I choose all three professions?" asked Xiao Yi persistently.

  Jian Ling's eyes widened as he stared at him, saying: "Are you crazy? Do you know what it means to choose three professions? It means that no sect is willing to take you as their disciple! This is an era that emphasizes inheritance, and the door-to-door view is quite large! Although you can buy cultivation secrets from the store, each one is worth a sky-high price. You have to pay more time and sweat than others!"

  "That means I can, right?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up with excitement as he received a different kind of information from Jian Ling's words.

  Jian Ling looked at Xiao Yu with a defeated expression and said, "Alright, I admit it. You can indeed do this. But have you thought it through? If you really choose to do this, you'll end up wasting more time than others!"

  "I'm sure!" Xiao Yi was very firm.

  He has his reasons for choosing this! You have to know that no matter how amazing the game is, there's one thing that can't be changed - it's a single-player game!

  If so, then it means that except for Xiao Yi himself, no one else will be able to keep up with his rapid improvement in battle level.

  Honestly, if you can't get past a certain level, it's okay. You have time to slowly upgrade your level and come back when you're ready. Your summer vacation has just started, two months is plenty of time!

  Jian Ling finally compromised, and with a wave of her hand, the light screen changed its appearance. The previous step of selecting characters was now over. On the light screen, two figures appeared again, this time one male and one female.

  "Please select your gender!" Jian Ling said with a poker face.

  "Is this okay? If it's a realistic experience type of game, is it good or bad? If I really choose to be a woman, can I really become one?"

  Xiao Yi was completely stunned by this option. Although he didn't dare to believe it, he had to admit that it was very attractive!

  As soon as the topic was mentioned, Jian Ling's face lit up with excitement, and she eagerly said to Xiao Yu: "Actually, this is my favorite part! It's so cool! Don't you want to try what it's like to have a girl's body? I can guarantee that our system is excellent. As long as the girl has something on her body, you'll have it too if you choose it, and nothing will be missing!"

  After hearing this, Xiao Yi's nose itched uncontrollably. Although he knew it was unmanly, he couldn't help but admit that his heart had skipped a beat!

  On how many lonely nights did Xiao Yu always look at Cang's works while fantasizing that there would be a girl by his side, and he could touch her body up close.

  Now that his own dreams are within reach, as long as he chooses a woman, then from now on, whenever he feels empty and lonely, he can come to the game.

  "By the way, as a side note, in pursuit of absolute realism, some of your male secondary sexual characteristics will disappear after you choose a female. Since this game software is still in the testing phase, we do not take responsibility for any problems that may arise!"

  Jian Ling's next sentence was like a basin of cold water that completely extinguished Xiao Yu's passion. Without thinking, Xiao Yu chose the pure men!

  "Proceed to step three, please select the sensory matching index. Note that this index will affect some of your sensory sensitivities in the game later on. For example, if you choose 0% for hearing, then you will be deaf in the game."

  This Xiao Yi likes to play games, no need to bother himself. So the sensory degree must be as low as possible. Strive to even cut off his own little chicken without feeling anything.

  "Reminder again, as this is an adult game, players can visit brothels and other entertainment venues in the game. Are you sure you want to set the sensitivity level to zero? Please confirm!"

  "Can't you just say everything at once?! I won't ask for a sensitivity of zero percent, make it two hundred percent! No! One thousand percent!" Xiao Yixi shouted in exasperation.

  "System data overflow, system data error, importing with maximum normal value. Role information import successful! Transmission begins, get ready, welcome to the Immortal Cultivation Road, transmission starts!"

  As Jian Ling said this, Xiao Yu suddenly felt his body float up, and when he looked for Jian Ling again, she had already disappeared.

  Afterwards, Xiao Yi felt as if he was riding a high-speed vehicle that was rapidly speeding along, and the scenery around him had all become a blur.

  When Xiao Yu's heart was about to jump out of his throat, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and a beautiful voice entered Xiao Yu's ears.

  "Transmission successful, welcome to the Immortal Cultivation Road, Master, hello! I am your sword spirit, Wanwan!"
