My Text-Based Cultivation Game

purchase?

Buy my ass!

Spending 100 million to buy games? Am I out of my mind?

But then again, this is, after all, a cheat code. If spending money can greatly enhance one's strength, then it's worth it.

Men should always have some backbone.

Is being stingy with money a sign of true manhood?

Besides, money and such are just external things, so why care so much about them?

Money, even if it's spent now, can always be earned back.

The money you spend today will surely stay with you in other forms in the future.

Therefore, spending money should not be called "spending money," as that sounds vulgar. It should be called "making money truly effective!"

Yes! That's right!

After much mental preparation, Yunyang finally steeled himself and chose the most expensive red opportunity.

Since there's a discount, you should naturally buy the most expensive one. If you buy the cheaper one, wouldn't you be losing out?

Entering the payment password, Yunyang's account balance instantly decreased by 500,000.

[You have obtained a red-quality resource. Please open your inventory and click to use it.]

This game is definitely a virus, isn't it? Such a large amount of spending didn't trigger any limits or warnings from the bank, it's like I spent fifty yuan.

No, I would feel really bad if I spent 50 yuan on a game all at once.

At this moment, Yunyang suddenly felt that he had changed. He didn't feel the reality of spending the 500,000 yuan at all; it just seemed to have been spent without him even realizing it.

I feel like one of those male protagonists in a novel, spending money as soon as I say it, without any hesitation.

"What are you thinking about?" Yunyang shook his head.

It's like the moment of enlightenment: you hesitate endlessly when deciding whether to pay, over and over again, and then impulsively press the pay button at the peak of your decision. But the moment you finish paying, you immediately enter a state of emptiness.

What did I just do?

Did I spend the money?

The whole process was very similar to sex.

wrong.

After careful consideration, Yunyang felt that the process was more like a furnace.

Because you'll regret it after spending the money, just like you'll regret doing something useless after burning the stove.

Therefore, spending money that one cannot afford is just like the Xiao Chu Nan Dojo – it's all a momentary impulse, a forced attempt to satisfy desires.

It was a meaningless act.

Amitabha, good is good.

After closing the "Giant Garbage Virus Money-Making Mobile Game," Yunyang opened his bank app on his phone. Looking at the shortened amount displayed, a feeling of heartache instantly welled up inside him.

Ah! It's the feeling of heartache!

The money of labor and management!

Damn it! If this red-quality opportunity doesn't satisfy me, I'll tear down this "super garbage virus pay-to-win mobile game"!

Open the inventory option in the game, click on the red-quality opportunity, and then use it.

[You have already used a red-quality opportunity; searching for opportunities for you is now in progress...]

[Ding! We have found the latest red-quality opportunity for you!]

[Please go to the back of the mountain where you are currently located. Cultivate continuously for thirty days at the location (x: 332, y: 256, z: 976) on the back of the mountain to obtain a red-quality opportunity.]

Why didn't you just give it to me directly?

Are there any triggering conditions?

Sigh~ There really is a thick barrier between us and text-based cultivation games!

Yunyang expressed his heartache.

However, the 500,000 was non-refundable, so Yunyang could only follow the game prompts to reach the corresponding location.

Is there really a red-grade opportunity worth a million RMB in this back mountain?

Honestly, in a mere outer peak, a place where even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are rare, how could there possibly be any extraordinary opportunities?

That doesn't make sense.

With a skeptical attitude, Yunyang first went to the main city and spent three spirit stones to buy thirty days' worth of spirit rice rations. After all, the description said that he had to cultivate continuously in that location for thirty days, but he had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage and had not yet practiced abstinence from grains. If he stayed there for thirty days and starved to death, that would be a real disaster.

Once you reach the location indicated by the game, click the "cultivation" option and adjust the time to thirty days.

Alright, let me see if my fifty thousand dollars was worth it.

……

Su Muxue was somewhat puzzled. Ever since Yunyang went on a rampage at the Spirit Medicine Peak like he was having a seizure, he seemed to have suddenly calmed down and become much more normal.

It's almost too normal; their daily routine is like being wound up like a clockwork toy.

I get up promptly at Chenshi (7:00 AM), spend two quarters of an hour (30 minutes) going out to eat, and then stay at home to continue my cultivation. During this time, I eat lunch and dinner promptly at Wushi (12:00 PM) and Youshi (6:00 PM), and then go to sleep promptly at Haishi (10:00 PM), falling asleep as soon as I lie down.

It's as regular as a spirit puppet.

What seemed normal has become somewhat abnormal.

Moreover, Yunyang completely ignored the strange looks from others.

The story of Yunyang eating spirit insects has been spread by several outer disciples and has become widely known in the outer sect. Many people even call Yunyang the "insect-eating monster".

The way he usually looked at Yunyang also became strange.

But Yunyang usually completely ignores these strange looks. When he goes out, he pays no attention to other people's gazes or their gossip, and always completes everything efficiently and effectively.

Not to mention compared to his carefree and irresponsible self in his previous life, even most cultivators couldn't achieve this level of efficiency and regularity.

I've already cultivated immortality, and my lifespan is so long, isn't it only right that I be a little more carefree and lazy?

This is the mindset of most cultivators.

Could it be that due to some kind of causal law, his rebirth has caused Yunyang's personality to change drastically in this life?

Although I had told myself not to think about this anymore, for some reason, I still couldn't help but think about it.

"Sigh~"

Sitting on the futon in the room, Su Muxue sighed. She knew that this was the seed of inner demons.

Inner demons, something that cultivators fear and avoid like the plague, have a very simple origin: a single thought, idea, or obsession of a cultivator can become an inner demon.

However, the damage caused is enormous. At best, it prevents cultivators from making any progress in their strength; at worst, it causes them to suffer backlash and even fall into the demonic path.

Among mortals, there are those who are trapped in a certain past or obsessed with a certain idea, unable to find liberation for their entire lives. This is even more true for cultivators, who seize the creation of heaven and earth and whose thoughts are infinitely amplified in the long river of time.

This has nothing to do with strength; on the contrary, the stronger a person is, the stronger their inner demons may be.

Perhaps only those who are free from desires and wants are free from inner demons, but if one is truly free from desires and wants, why bother competing with heaven and earth for creation and embarking on the path of cultivation?

The reason why I didn't have any inner demons about Yunyang in my previous life was because Yunyang died early in the Xuantianmen Incident, and I couldn't find a target for revenge. As time passed, the demons in my heart were buried deep inside.

Upon being reborn, the inner demons buried deep within his heart began to sprout anew, growing at an astonishing speed.

Trying hard to suppress her thoughts, Su Muxue closed her eyes and began her evening cultivation by circulating her internal energy.

The more you think about your inner demons, the more you give them a chance to grow stronger; it's better to focus on cultivation.

I estimate I'll be able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining in the next few days.

However, before Su Muxue had even finished cultivating for half an hour, a loud "bang!" sound came from outside the door.

Yunyang!!!

I've only been cultivating for a short while, what kind of trouble are you causing now?!
