Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

But now is not the time to rest.

She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to fully circulate the Longevity and Immortality Technique, racing against time to restore her strength.

Every minute and every second is crucial.

In the next room, Wu Feng bolted the door, walked to the window to look at the street outside that was gradually darkening, and then returned to the bedside to sit down.

Instead, he brought up the system interface and quickly browsed his status.

Level 38, all attributes have increased significantly due to the mastery of "Pure Yang Limitless Skill".

In the skill bar, the newly learned "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand" and "Life and Death Talisman" are still in the beginner stage and require a lot of proficiency to improve.

I've only recently started learning the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan.

As for what can be learned from the murals, it is mostly about principles and methods of applying force. To develop usable skills, practical experience and further understanding are still needed.

"The gains are considerable, but we need to digest them." With Wu Xingyun as a walking treasure trove, we need to be more cautious in our next actions.

However, now that the first step has been taken and a preliminary relationship has been established, there is room for further action.

Without further thought, he decided to quit the game.

In the real world, the game's cabin hatch slides open.

The room was dimly lit, with only the neon lights of the city shining through the window.

Wu Feng sat up and rubbed his cheeks.

Even after physical rest, prolonged immersion in games can leave one with a lingering sense of disorientation, as if switching between different worlds.

A familiar emptiness came from my stomach.

He got up quickly, changed his clothes, grabbed his phone and keys, and headed out towards his familiar home-style restaurant.

The city's hustle and bustle at night is palpable, carrying a real, down-to-earth atmosphere that is completely different from the game world.

Wu Feng lifted the plastic curtain of the familiar home-style restaurant, and a wave of heat and noise rushed out. He sat down in his usual corner seat and casually ordered a few of his favorite dishes from the approaching waiter: "Boiled beef in chili oil, Mapo tofu, stir-fried lettuce with garlic, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and a seaweed and egg drop soup. A big bowl of rice."

"Okay, just a moment."

While waiting for his food, he leaned back in the somewhat hard plastic chair, took out his phone, unlocked it, and habitually tapped the official forum app for "Jianghu Dream" with his thumb.

The homepage feed refreshes like a waterfall.

His gaze swept quickly across the list, soon drawn to several posts marked as popular.

Murong Fu has left Yanziwu and is heading north to seek reinforcements! Numerous missions have been issued along the way—a rare opportunity!

The post is very popular. The poster seems to be a player from the vicinity of Gusu. It describes in detail how Murong Fu left by boat with his retainers Bao Butong, Feng Bo'e and others. They stopped in several towns along the way to meet old friends, recruit people, and issue a series of tasks related to "restoring the Great Yan" - gathering intelligence, escorting supplies, and even secretly eliminating some obstacles.

The responses below were enthusiastic:

"I accepted an escort mission, and the reward is a third-rate sword technique! It's not high-grade, but there's bound to be more to it!"

"After Murong Fu's favorability rating was raised to friendly, he privately taught me a second-rate martial art."

"He seems to be looking for someone, but it's unclear exactly. However, if you follow him, you're sure to get something good to eat."

"Looking for a team! Let's farm the Murong Fu storyline together!"

Wu Feng scrolled down and saw another post:

[Insider information! Leaks from the Western Xia Imperial Palace: Princess Yinchuan is getting older, and a public marriage proposal may be held soon!]

The poster, whose ID included the prefix "Western Xia," spoke with great detail: "A friend from Yipintang revealed that the palace is already making preparations, but the specific format is undecided. It could be a martial arts contest to choose a husband, or some other form of selection. The rewards are absolutely generous; you might even be able to marry a princess directly and rise to the top in one step!"

An uproar immediately erupted below:

"The Princess of Western Xia? Li Qinglu? Xu Zhu's wife in the original novel?"

Will the game make any changes? Will players have a chance to change that?

"A big event! I have to attend! What if I get incredibly lucky?"

Where do I register? When does it start? Are there any prerequisites?

"I've heard the princess is incredibly beautiful, and she also comes with the power and resources of a consort from Western Xia!"

Scrolling down further, another post caught his attention:

[A discovery by the Shaolin Temple enthusiasts: Xu Zhu went down the mountain today! He was alone, carrying a small bundle, heading northwest.]

The post was short, with a blurry screenshot of a distant view showing a bald young monk in gray robes walking on a mountain path.

"Xu Zhu has gone down the mountain? Where is he going? Has the storyline of the Zhenlong Chess Game begun?"

"The Precious Chess Game hasn't even appeared yet; it's probably triggered by some other plot development."

"Should we follow them and see? Maybe we can trigger a hidden quest?"

"Come on, what good would following that foolish monk Xuzhu do besides eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures?"

"That's not how it works. Xu Zhu was later the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect and the master of Lingjiu Palace. Investing now might yield amazing returns in the future."

Wu Feng looked at each item one by one, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the greasy tabletop.

"There's still a lot to do," he muttered to himself, his brow furrowing slightly.

It seems that the game's first major main storyline is indeed based on the story of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

The plot, however, is... a bit messed up.

Duan Yu was kidnapped and then rescued, and is now staying obediently in the Prince's Mansion. There is no indication that he will leave Dali.

The climax over there seemed to have ended prematurely because of my intervention.

The popularity of related posts has decreased, and when people occasionally mention it, they only speculate about the identity of the "mysterious master" who killed Yun Zhonghe and saved Duan Yu.

"It seems like I'm the only one who benefited...?" Wu Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless.

Although rescuing Duan Yu earned me a lot of reputation and goodwill, and I also got some silver, compared to the ultimate martial arts manual I had expected, it felt a bit... useless.

The core martial arts of the Duan family are all in Tianlong Temple, which is under the tight control of the old monk Yideng, so they can forget about it in the short term.

"Fortunately, Duan Yu's favorability has increased." He thought for a moment, "Later, when I have time, I'll go to Dali again and raise his favorability even higher. Maybe then I'll really have a chance to get in touch with the Six Meridians Divine Sword."

He browsed for a while longer, mentally reviewing the information from several popular posts.

Murong Fu went north, and players flocked to follow, hoping to get on this trail and learn the Murong family's unique skills.

The Western Xia princess may be seeking a husband; a large-scale event is being held to generate buzz and attract considerable attention.

Xu Zhu inexplicably descended the mountain, his direction unknown, which may open a new side quest.

There's been no movement from Zhenlong Chess Game or Wuyazi's side for now.

Judging from Wu Yazi's previous state, although he seemed listless, he did not seem to have any intention of immediately passing on his skills and seeking death.

Perhaps due to my intervention, or adjustments to the game, the storyline was stretched out.

"Alright," Wu Feng thought.

If Wu Yazi dies now, who will I ask for the reward from the "clean house" quest? If the NPC dies and the quest becomes invalid, that would be a huge loss.

"I still need to hurry," he reminded himself.

Ding Chunqiu must resolve this as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.

As for Murong Fu's storyline... he wasn't very interested.

Murong Fu is a hypocrite with great ambitions; following him will bring more trouble than benefits.

Besides, he already has Wu Xingyun by his side, and it would be too conspicuous for him to meddle in the Murong family's affairs.

The martial arts manuals of Mantuo Manor are indeed tempting, but it wouldn't be appropriate to just go and snatch them with Tong Lao by force.

Lady Wang, Li Qingluo, is no pushover, and the guards at Langhuan Jade Cave are probably quite formidable as well.

After a moment's deliberation, Wu Feng made a decision.

His gaze fell on the post about Princess Yinchuan's marriage proposal.

Large-scale events mean a large number of players participating, official rewards, and more opportunities.
