Weird, my gaming life

Lin Yuan ate his fill at lunch, a far cry from his time under Xiao Weiran's tutelage. The quality of his meals had improved dramatically.

Putting everything else aside, just the medicinal food alone added two points to his strength. It has to be said that everything in the Danyang meridian is related to the power of medicine, which is simply impossible for other meridians.

Firstly, they are not as wealthy as the Danyang lineage, and secondly, due to the large number of disciples in their sect, even if they had such resources, it would be impossible for them to distribute them among all the disciples.

For example, when Lin Yuan was in the Xiao Yang lineage, his meals were incredibly simple, almost a level better than those in the servants' quarters. As for medicinal cuisine, forget about it; even if there was any, it was reserved for Xiao Lingling and Ling Xiao.

"Disciple, I will be refining pills for the sect this afternoon, and your senior sister will be coming with me, so you'll have to do your own thing for now!"

Li Changqing looked at Lin Yuan, who had a satisfied expression, and couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Yuan gave a brief reply, and then the three parted ways.

Back in his courtyard, Lin Yuan began to study diligently. He spent the entire afternoon studying the samples on the Thousand Herbs Painting, and even then, he only managed to memorize a third of the half-meter-thick book.

It can be said that the herbs depicted in the Thousand Herbs Picture are very comprehensive, including the characteristics of the herbs, their growing environment, and their medicinal effects and pharmacology. It is a complete encyclopedia about various herbs.

As expected, a new attribute panel appeared on his life panel, namely, his pharmacology level had reached intermediate. Without exception, as long as he could finish reading this book, his knowledge of pharmacology would definitely reach the level of a grandmaster.

That evening, Lin Yuan went to the Scripture Pavilion again. Looking at all the various martial arts manuals, he was once again dazzled. There were no fewer than ten intermediate-level internal energy cultivation manuals in the entire Scripture Pavilion, and hundreds of intermediate-level external energy cultivation manuals.

It included a variety of techniques such as movement skills, body tempering, attack moves, and mental charm, which dazzled Lin Yuan and made it difficult for him to choose.

However, considering his imminent return, Lin Yuan wasn't too greedy. Instead, he carefully selected a few cultivation techniques that he urgently needed and began to study them diligently.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and this was the last day before Lin Yuan woke up.

During this week, Lin Yuan hardly left the Scripture Pavilion except to eat and satisfy his physiological needs. This included the news that Zhao Ran came to tell him that Ling Xiao was going to host a banquet for them at the Lesser Yang Vein, but Lin Yuan refused without hesitation.

After what happened last time, Lin Yuan was certain that Ling Xiao was the mastermind behind Xiao Lingling's murder. Little did he know that this trip would turn out to be a trap.

Seeing Lin Yuan's resolute refusal, Zhao Ran lost her desire to go see her best friend.

After all, Xiao Lingling's abandonment of her last time had left a deep resentment in her heart. Moreover, her senior brother had only been dead for a short time, and she had no mood to attend a banquet with the person who had killed her senior brother. As a result, Ling Xiao's attempt to attend the banquet ended in vain.

This made his originally calm expression become somewhat unnatural, and even made Xiao Weiran curse Lin Yuan for being ungrateful in the room.

However, Lin Yuan didn't care much about any of this. How the Xiaoyang lineage developed was none of his business, so he naturally didn't need to maintain any superficial relationship with it.

Looking at his current stats, Lin Yuan felt that his hard work over the past week had not been in vain, and his strength had more than doubled.

Looking at the gorgeous game panel, it can be said that Lin Yuan has truly upgraded from a slingshot to a cannon this time. A week of hard work day and night has directly made him jump from a second-rate expert to a first-rate expert.

With his current strength, he believed that even when faced with the terrifying and bizarre realities of the world, he could easily crush them. He was no longer a six-year-old child who could be slaughtered at will.

The fusion of several martial arts manuals brought him to an unprecedented level. Most of the manuals he chose were closely related to the mind, and he had no time to practice the others.

If he were given another month, he believed he would definitely be able to double his strength, and perhaps when he returned to reality he could actually stop eating beef.

But there's no rush. He has plenty of time; it's just a matter of entering the dream again next time.

After tidying up his somewhat messy hair, Lin Yuan finally walked out of the library where he had been staying for a week.

As soon as they stepped outside, they ran into Li Changqing and Zhao Ran.

Lin Yuan quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Master, Senior Sister, what brings you here!"

Li Changqing's expression twitched.

"My disciple! I know you are obsessed with martial arts, but you must know when to stop. A balance of relaxation and exercise is the best approach in everything!"

Li Changqing offered words of heartfelt advice.

These days, Li Changqing would come over from time to time. Although he was very pleased to see his newly accepted disciple studying hard, he was also a little worried when he thought about his age. He looked like a martial arts fanatic, and he didn't know if Lin Yuan was right in this state.

He wanted to persuade his disciple to go out more and make some fellow disciples, since the martial world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions.

But whenever he opened his mouth, Lin Yuan would spout a whole bunch of grand theories, leaving him speechless. Fortunately, Lin Yuan's understanding of the Thousand Herbs Diagram was becoming more and more comprehensive, so he didn't worry about it anymore.

He could see that his young disciple, though small in stature, was exceptionally opinionated.

The reason I said that this time is simply out of habit.

"Master is right. This disciple will go back and pack up now, and go out for a walk with Senior Sister tomorrow!"

"Junior brother, you've really figured it out!"

Zhao Ran exclaimed in surprise from behind Li Changqing, because she really didn't know what to say about this junior brother for the past week.

Every day I'm either in the library or on my way to the library, trying to introduce him to some friends so they can be of some help in the future.

His junior brother refused without hesitation, as if he had no other interests besides martial arts and reading.

This made her, the senior sister, quite anxious, since she wanted to introduce her talented junior brother to her close cousin.

If only they could become childhood sweethearts...

However, his junior brother was like a block of wood, completely indifferent to this matter.

Zhao Ran could only comfort himself by saying that his junior brother was still young and didn't understand the matter.

She was surprised that her junior brother suddenly had an epiphany today, which gave her a sense of relief.

Seeing the two women's ever-changing expressions, Lin Yuan was speechless. She knew very well what her master and senior sister were thinking. One was simply worried that he was too withdrawn and would have a hard time getting along in the sect if he didn't have any friends.

One reason is that they're eager to arrange a wife for him. It's not like he's only six years old. Although he understands that this world is no different from ancient China, and many boys get married at eleven or twelve, his soul ultimately comes from the modern world! Who would be interested in a girl who hasn't grown up yet?

Lin Yuan could only say that they didn't understand the essence of the world. Any world can exist in isolation as long as it is strong. Women, money, fame, and fortune are all just byproducts of strength.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yuan bid farewell to his master and senior sister and hurriedly returned to his courtyard. Exhausted, he planned to do nothing all night and wait for his reality to wake up.

This past month has been arguably the most exhausting period of his life. He didn't actually have to work so hard, but just thinking about the bizarre and unpredictable world around him kept him on edge.

Having lost his brother as a protector, he knew what he would face next. First of all, the strange creature that had been watching him would not let him go.

Countless times he had seen him staring intently at him from the doorway and the window, but because the room was filled with his older brother's presence, he couldn't come in, which is why Lin Yuan had the chance to live to the age of six.

Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago. Besides, there's more than just one weirdo in that world. Over the years, when his older brother took him out to play, he saw more than once that the faces of ordinary people in the crowd suddenly twisted into terrifying shapes.

They all harbored some degree of malice towards him, their gazes fixed on him as if he were eyeing some incredibly tempting delicacy. Surrounded by countless dangers, he initially broke down, but gradually became numb and accustomed to it, and now...

Lin Yuan clenched his fist, a cruel expression appearing on his lips.

"Come on! Let me see if you can still laugh now!"

Lin Yuan murmured something, then fell asleep with a satisfied smile.

Suddenly, the world before him shattered like a mirror, turning into points of light in the endless darkness and disappearing into the abyss of darkness.
