Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

After clicking, Zuo Chang saw a profile picture—it was none other than himself.

He sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, and saw his dashboard:

[To begin your practice, please relax your body.]

When your body doesn't belong to you and suddenly starts "moving," it's truly disorienting.

[The Grand General System is activated. This system interface is visible only to you, and its operation is simpler than before. You can activate the system anytime, anywhere.]

The Seven Treasures General Seal possesses unique power.

Some far-sighted individuals expressed concern: "Throughout history, there has never been a hegemony achieved without bloodshed, nor has there ever been a unified empire handed over without a fight. You think it's good that there's no bloodshed, but I don't think so. Are Qian Wuyi's relatives and close associates willing to just give up like that? Are the postman's cronies willing to smoothly relinquish power? Not to mention, Lord Qiu is still alive! As long as they have the power to resist, their ambition will not be extinguished. My friend, you underestimate the allure of power! If you ask me... the real turmoil and rebellion are about to unfold."

……

A text prompt appeared before his eyes, and Zuo Chang looked down—

Really are……

This is……

Now it seems……

Who doesn't want to live a long life?

The gods are merciless.

The golden lettering flashed by.

The UI is very simple, with only one option:

[Cultivation complete.]

He clicked on his avatar with his mind, and his basic information immediately appeared before his eyes, including his cultivation level, talent, skill level, and emblem information, down to the smallest detail.

In the end, it all boils down to one conclusion:

"I wish I could reach four digits! I've been stuck in the seventh realm for years, and I've been wanting to advance to the next level for a long time!"

one extra.

[The level of Innate Sword Bone has been upgraded.]

"A talent fit for a king? Haha! If he had even half the ability of a king, he'd be lucky!"

[Please note:]

However, activating it requires a lot of resources, and Zuochang currently lacks both manpower and funds, so it cannot be considered for the time being.

An old man said with anticipation, "Once you reach the twelfth realm, adventurers can achieve the 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Converging at the Origin' Celestial Realm, living to 140 or 150 years old with ease, and even 200 years old is not impossible. Unlike now... I am already 63 years old this year. If I don't break through within ten years, I should start preparing my coffin!"

……

After the game of grace ended, Zuo Chang appeared at his mansion.

【Training - Gale Sword Technique】

Zuo Chang attempted to detach himself from worldly affairs and live a life of leisure.

Zuo Chang was skeptical, but once again raised the bar to "practice improvement".

Zuo Chang was greatly surprised!

He quickly opened his eyes and stood up halfway.

"Let's just wait and see! I don't know when General Zuo will show up, but it shouldn't be too late."

[Cultivation - Innate Sword Bones]

He clicked on [Cultivate] and saw the upgrade option:

Please select a mode:

There are some things he cannot avoid, some responsibilities he needs to shoulder, and some honors he needs to reclaim.

The system will not forcibly take away your autonomy; you can interrupt your cultivation at any time.

He recognized the interface; it was the game's UI.

Click to activate.

Everyone else nodded, including the young people.

[This practice session was unsuccessful; it was interrupted before it even began. Please relax your body.]

[Cultivation - Realm Advancement]

Come here.

Zuo Chang did not try again.

He long-pressed to select and quickly saw the detailed information:

Zuo Chang hesitated, but chose to cultivate the Innate Sword Bone.

Zuo Chang didn't hesitate much and chose the second option.

This time, he tried his best to relax and let his mind wander.

This……

All talents and skills that have not yet reached their maximum level, and even Zuo Chang's cultivation level, can be enhanced.

In the game, upgrading a follower's cultivation level or skill level requires consuming evolution points.

The level of Innate Sword Bone has been raised to level 2.

Cultivation level reached the seventh realm (2%).

"..."

The practice continues.

Chapter 135 Let’s dance

After disrupting the ceremony, Misato Asuka led the rest of the group out of the freight center and soon saw a jeep parked by the roadside.

She had a vague premonition of something and went forward to check—

The driver's side door is open.

The seat was empty. After a moment's thought, Flying Bird turned to Blood Rose and said, "Chief Rose, the situation was urgent before, and I didn't have time to ask in detail... Did you notice that Commander Eagle's condition was a bit abnormal?"

Blood Rose agreed: "He looks like he's not in good condition."

So, where did he go?

There were no traces, so there was no way to speculate.

We can only put it aside for now.

Blood Rose drove the car back to the mansion with Misato and her daughter. She pulled the handbrake, turned around, and said, "General Misato, the general should have returned by now. Would you... like to go see him together?"

Mayumi looked at her mother.

Seeing that Asuka thought for a moment, she finally shook her head.

She didn't know how to face Zuo Chang.

and……

She didn't know how Zuo Chang would react to her.

This isn't a concern about age.

Seeing that Flying Bird is a master of the twelfth realm, his spirit and energy are blazing, this is the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top; his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are in perfect harmony, this is the Five Qi Returning to the Origin.

For her, youth had lost its meaning.

Her body stopped aging, and her appearance remained unchanged until her death.

The issue is……

What are Zuo Chang's thoughts?

She smiled and said, "There's no need to see. Chief Rose, tell the general that I'd be happy to attend if he invites me to the victory banquet. Mayumi, let's go."

"Yes, Mother."

Mayumi nodded with a smile.

She looked at Blood Rose with utmost humility: "Goodbye, Chief Rose."

Goodbye, Ms. Mayumi.

The three got off the bus and went their separate ways.

Blood Rose initially maintained her composure, but after taking only two steps, immense joy overwhelmed her.

Her steps quickened, and she took two steps at a time, entering the house next door.

"General!"

Upon entering, I went straight to the living room.

Blood Rose called out and soon saw Zuo Chang sitting cross-legged on the sofa with his eyes closed, seemingly...

Are you practicing meditation?

She was filled with awe, and her admiration for Zuo Chang deepened even further. This embodies the principle of not being arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat.

She moved carefully, trying not to make a sound, and walked to the sofa.

Just as she was about to sit down, she immediately thought, "How can I sit down without the general's instructions?"

So she stood beside Zuo Chang.

As soon as she straightened her back, she realized that the top of her head was actually higher than the top of Zuo Chang's head!

This is absolutely unacceptable.

So she bent her knees and knelt on the ground, her gaze level with Zuo Chang's chest. Only then did she feel at ease; everything seemed to fall into place naturally.

About half an hour later.

Zuo Chang opened his eyes, looked at Blood Rose kneeling in front of him, and frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"
