I'm just an internet cafe owner

As for money? Not worried at all. If she can't repay it, she can just mortgage her lifespan.

"So, would you like to experience beautiful love through playing a game or watching a TV series? I recommend watching The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1. The pure and heartwarming love story between Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er will definitely satisfy your needs."

Is there any difference?

Chtholly asked nervously. The chairs here looked expensive, and she hesitated to sit down.

"In a game, you play a character and experience the charm of love through continuous battles. In a TV series, you watch their love story unfold, experiencing the love from the perspectives of different characters. It's all up to you."

"Me? What about your recommendation?"

"Personally, I play games before watching TV series. Only by understanding all the content in the game can I better understand the content of the TV series."

Chtholly's gaze was fixed on the colorful icons on the computer screen. Hearing Liu Yuan's recommendation, she opened the game. Seeing the exorbitant price, she bought it without hesitation.

Lifespan is important to most people. But for Chtholly, it's negligible. No golden fairy has ever lived past twenty, let alone eighty? That's out of the question.

Since we're not going to survive anyway, we might as well use it.

"Excuse me, how do I use it?"

"After putting on these glasses, the system will guide you on how to proceed. Please do not panic once you are inside."

Enjoy it to the fullest.

After teaching Chtholly how to put on her glasses, Liu Yuan returned to the front desk.

As soon as they returned to the front desk, Kisara muttered to himself, "Boss, don't you have a feeling?"

"what?"

"You're more like a demon than I am."

"You already complained about Rick when he came."

Kisara shook his head: "But I still want to complain when I see it again. But boss! Is that new game and new TV series really that good?"

After answering "It's fun and entertaining," Liu Yuan asked the system, "The plot hasn't changed, has it?"

System: "Everything produced by this system is of the highest quality; those who should die are all alive. This system also recommends that you purchase the TV series version of 'The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws'; those who should live are all alive."

Liu Yuan couldn't help but complain, "System, is this the 'Peerless Twins' version or the 'Legend of Jiang Yuyan' version?"

"The host is already aware."

None of the survivors died? It's obvious, it's Jiang Yuyan's Legend! Let's wait until there are more viewers before making this TV series. But before that, we need to release more pure love dramas or anime series to lay the groundwork. When the time is right, we can release this one, and then have Mu Geng secretly sell razor blades. I guarantee I'll make a fortune.

Mu Geng was even more excited when he heard Liu Yuan's reply. It just so happened that he had recently finished playing his old games or was working on long-term projects that couldn't be rushed. Playing a new game to change things up was a good choice.

"Play!"

The story of Legend of Sword and Fairy isn't very long. According to Liu Yuan's estimate, if you just fight and skip the main plot, you should be able to complete the game perfectly in about ten hours. Even the actual gameplay version would take about the same amount of time.

However, this completion time refers to real-world time. Just like the real-life version of Red Alert, the in-game time is stretched out. What feels like several days in the game might only take a few minutes in reality.

This is also part of the system's design to allow players to better experience the storyline.

While Liu Yuan and Mu Geng were chatting, Chtholly also turned on the TV series "Chinese Paladin 1". The plot of the TV series is not much different from the Hu Ge version of "Chinese Paladin 1". It tells the same story.

To be honest, what Liu Yuan really wanted to do wasn't to experience being a chivalrous immortal from Li Xiaoyao's perspective, but rather to first defeat the final boss, then have a good talk with the leader of the Moon Worship Cult about science, and try to stop him from causing trouble all over the world.

One water demon beast, one demon-suppressing tower—Liu Yuan must take them both down. Even though it's a game with a high degree of freedom and realism no matter what, that's enough.

It would be great to have a happy ending for everyone, but unfortunately it's still open for business, so we'll have to wait until it closes to experience these things.

Meanwhile, Chtholly also opened the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" on the other side. One was the game version, the other was the real-life experience version. According to the system's explanation, she felt that only in the real-life mode could she experience what true love was.

"I choose the real experience version!"

Chtholly's attitude was very firm. She came here to find out what love is, and she felt it was meaningless to just watch virtual love.

After selecting the game difficulty, Chtholly made a series of choices. The system emphasized that dying in the game would result in a complete data wipe, erasing all character memories, and requiring her to start all over again.

Chtholly didn't care about this. Wasn't that how reality was? No one could start over after they died. In a game, only this way would she feel it was real.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Drunken Sword Immortal

First, she gave up on embracing the protagonist's character. Then, she fully embraced the protagonist's physical attributes. Between replacing the protagonist and exploring freely, she chose to explore freely and focused her attention on the 'protagonist,' experiencing the love, hate, and grudges in the world of Legend of Sword and Fairy together with the protagonist.

After making a series of choices, Chtholly found herself in a forest. The sun shone brightly, and animals frolicked and played around her. The land here wasn't an endless desert, but rather green trees, mountains, and meadows.

Wings appeared on her back, and she flew into the sky, gazing into the distance. Beautiful mountains and rivers came into view, and at that moment she realized how beautiful the earth had once been.

"So beautiful..."

It was an ordinary scene, but for Chtholly, it was a rare sight. In her world, to escape the world-destroying beast, all life had landed on the Sky Island and, with the help of the Sage's magic, soared into the sky.

"How amazing..."

Chtholly discovered that in this game, she could use her magic freely, and the side effects would appear as 'buffs' in her status bar. She also gained several new skills and could even retrieve weapons stored in the basement of the fairy warehouse at any time.

At the same time, a new skill, 'Self-Destruct,' has been added to her skill bar. Yes, Chtholly in True Mode possesses all the attributes and abilities of a Golden Fairy, and the Self-Destruct skill has also been retained.

"Senecioris!"

Sereneoris, the legendary holy sword, can slay dragons with its right swing and gods with its left. It is the holy sword among holy swords, renowned for both its historical significance and its proven achievements.

She never expected to be able to fight alongside her old friends in the game.

But just as she drew her weapon, a whooshing sound came from the air.

"Who goes there!"

"Hahahaha!"

With a whooshing sound through the air, a man's laughter echoed throughout the valley.

A seemingly drunk man from Central South China suddenly appeared in front of Chtholly. He appeared to be intoxicated but not quite, his eyes were blurry, yet his movements were nimble as he reached out his hand.

agile.

He circled Chtholly once, sighing, "Pitiful, pathetic, a pity." Then the holy sword slipped from Chtholly's hand and appeared in the man's grasp.

Seneoris was enormous, a greatsword type, yet it still managed to float in the air and hover around him. In Chtholly's eyes, Seneoris also radiated a completely different aura than during normal battles; it was a feeling of joy.

"A fine sword!" The man reached out and tapped Chtholly on the head.

"This is the Sword Control Technique, young lady! The power within you is both righteous and evil, and this sword tells me of your shortcomings. This technique can help you regulate the power within your body, and this Sword Control Manual complements this technique. Remember, do not be led astray by the power within you; hold fast to your true self, and you will surely achieve great things."

"Hey hey hey?"

Ctholly looked at the man in front of her with some confusion. He clenched his right fist, and with his index and middle fingers extended, he touched Ctholly's forehead. At the same time, a martial arts technique and a sword technique appeared in her consciousness.

At that very moment, Seneoris instantly shattered into 41 fragments, which surrounded Ctholly and protected her. Ctholly was completely stunned; for the first time, she knew that her holy sword, Seneoris, could split into pieces.

What are cultivation techniques? What are sword techniques? Are these magic? What do these have to do with the love story I want to see?

She didn't understand what had happened, but she still instinctively thanked her, saying, "Thank you, I..."

"You're too kind, young lady. Your talent is exceptional, but the impact of the internal power has somewhat scattered your three souls and seven spirits. There's nothing more I can do to help you..."

After saying that, he left.

Seeing the suddenly vanished Sword Immortal, Chtholly was a little confused. She called out as if possessed, "Senior, what's your name?"

"Riding the wind on my sword, I vanquish demons across the land. With wine, I revel in carefree joy; without wine, I remain eccentric. One drink empties rivers, another swallows the sun and moon. A thousand cups cannot impotent me, for I am the Wine Sword Immortal. Alas? Where is my wine?"

"The Drunken Sword Immortal?"

Chtholly remembered the name, and she circulated the power within her body according to the technique that appeared in her mind. The previously untamed magic surrounded her body like a well-behaved baby, making her feel warm.

No, Chtholly vaguely sensed that when she used her technique, the magic seemed to transform into a gentler force rather than magic. At the same time, she felt her mind was clearer and her overall condition improved.

It was a strange feeling, but it was very real.

In addition, she could feel Senioris calling to her.

"Senecioris?"

"What? You want me to step on you?"

"Really...do we have to do this?"

Sereneolith was her frequently used weapon, which was why she was reluctant to trample it underfoot. But now she was hearing her weapon calling to her, which made her feel very strange.

Senioris transformed back into his sword form and flew to Ctholly's feet. A sense of perfect harmony arose in Ctholly's mind. She withdrew her magic and instead used the power generated by her technique to fly on her sword.

It felt completely different from flying on my own; there was no sense of burden, and at the same time, there was a strange feeling of comfort.

Sword Control Technique

Controlling the sword with qi, transforming qi into a sword. The description in the technique was too esoteric, making it somewhat difficult for Chtholly, whose basic knowledge was not strong, to understand.

At the same time, an aura emanated from Chtholly inside the internet cafe, attracting the attention of everyone in the cafe who possessed a certain level of strength.

"What are you looking at? These are skills from the new game 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy.' You can try them out if you're interested. Remember, you can only learn them in the real mode!"

Liu Yuan clapped his hands, suppressing the aura emanating from Chtholly around her body.

"Should we say she was just lucky or what? She actually encountered the Drunken Sword Immortal on her very first day of playing the game and even got taught some martial arts techniques. That's unbelievable."

In the real mode, everything unfolds with both a predetermined and unpredictable plot. According to some fortune tellers in the game, "fate is hard to defy," but at the same time, the appearance of the player is a variable outside of "fate."

Liu Yuan guessed that Chtholly's spawn location was near the Drunken Sword Immortal. In addition, she was also relatively young when it came to swordsmanship. Perhaps the Drunken Sword Immortal took a liking to her talent, and Chtholly easily mastered the skill, which then affected her body.

That's right, you need to complete the game on realistic difficulty to get the rewards. But since it's realistic difficulty, you can learn all the techniques and moves in the game. However, learning them requires talent and luck.

Talent… Chtholly really does have it. Chtholly's past lives were countless times those of a god. Luck? Well, luck has struck! He's not bragging, but right now, apart from Zhongli and Nyaruko, it's quite difficult for anyone else in the entire internet cafe to encounter a serendipitous event like Chtholly in the game.

If Zhongli went up there, he might be worshipped; if Nyaruko went, she might be imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Tower by the Shu Mountain Sect. As for whether it can actually be suppressed… after glancing at the system description, it turns out Nyaruko can actually be suppressed, which is really strange.

That makes sense, since Nyaruko is actually a child, and her parents might not be able to control her if they came.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Chtholly and Zhao Ling'er

Chtholly had forgotten why she entered the game; all she felt now was joy and freedom. She could fly, but this was the first time she had ever flown on a sword. Without using any magic, she let the sword protect her and carry her through the air.

Sword Qi Encirclement

The winds whizzed around her, cutting through the air's fierce gales. Without the previous resistance, her flight time was greatly increased. The only drawback was that she couldn't use the sword while flying; otherwise, she really wanted to fight while riding on a beast.

"What? You can?"

Chtholly sensed Senioris's response. Since it was possible, she would definitely try it next time they fought. If possible, she hoped that before she died…

"Don't worry~ Unless absolutely necessary..."

As a golden fairy, she knew her mission. She didn't want to die, but if it required her to eliminate those guys by self-destructing, she wouldn't refuse.
