Cultivating Through The Game

Chapter 144: Changes in Reality


Don't even mention the burden-bearers carrying unknown tons of mountain rocks; even Lu Yu, who carried over seventy thousand pounds of precious materials in his backpack, felt life was quite inconvenient.

He broke the staircase while climbing it.

Helplessly, Lu Yu had to ask Shopkeeper Wu to prepare a mat for him on the first floor, as he couldn't sleep in a bed until he set his things down.

There were so many things and nowhere to put them. After lying on the mat, Lu Yu exited the game.

Regarding the handling of this batch of materials, Lu Yu still needed to think it over, as directly selling them would probably not be feasible.

Too many items bore the mark of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. If they found out he was selling retrieved items, Lu Yu wouldn't be able to explain himself to the pavilion.

Even though he still held the hidden identity of a genius disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and Zhao Tianjue might turn a blind eye, it could easily leave a bad impression on other bigwigs.

This matter needs to be handled properly.

Lu Yu's ideal way of handling it was to sell part of this batch of materials to those disciples tasked with retrieving the stolen goods from Cyan Mountain Town, thus obtaining Spirit Stones while they gained Contribution Points, making it mutually beneficial.

There are undoubtedly many disciples willing to pay for Contribution Points from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, so the key is to find a good buyer now.

This matter can be discussed upon reaching Yunhai City; perhaps Fifth Senior Sister knows useful contacts.

Lu Yu took off his gaming helmet and glanced at the sky outside. It was around three or four in the morning, but he didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.

Seeing the Spirit Pen on the table, Lu Yu, knowing he wasn't tired, figured he might as well work on crafting a few sets of defensive clothing while he had the chance.

The Golden Armor Spirit Array, when set on clothing, significantly increased the strength of the garment; a thin t-shirt could have better defense than the best bulletproof vest, at least in terms of its ability to buffer kinetic impact—a capability bulletproof vests lack.

Moreover, the Golden Armor Spirit Array enhances the object's defensive properties comprehensively, making it not just tougher and more wear-resistant, but also able to resist chemical damages like acid and alkaline corrosion.

Regarding the Golden Armor Spirit Array, Lu Yu had another idea: to inscribe the array onto his skin, thereby greatly enhancing his own defense and truly achieving immunity against low-level Spiritual Soldiers.

With the effect of the Golden Armor Spirit Array, combined with his own skin's defense, even if a Qi Cultivation realm unleashed a Third Grade Spiritual Soldier's power to the fullest, it wouldn't break through Lu Yu's defenses.

Even more, engraving the Golden Armor Spirit Array onto his bones could further enhance his overall defenses.

The potential results were thrilling, but Lu Yu dared not try it lightly.

The consequence of the Golden Armor Spirit Array being destroyed is the complete annihilation of the bearer. So far, Lu Yu hasn't found any item that could retain its original form once the array inscribed on it was broken.

The greater the enhancement to the item, the greater the destruction if it gets annihilated.

If the Golden Armor Spirit Array inscribed on his skin had issues, the best outcome would be his skin turning to ashes. Given Lu Yu's current physique, he still had a chance for the skin to grow back.

What he feared was a more severe outcome, where even the flesh beneath the skin turned to ash, leaving Lu Yu with only death as an outcome unless there was a defying divine pill, an unparalleled miracle medicine.

Unless he was 100% sure, Lu Yu wouldn't rashly inscribe the Golden Armor Spirit Array on himself, even if it significantly enhanced his abilities.

Just as Lu Yu was sketching on his frequently worn clothes with chalk, his phone rang.

Lu Yu, holding the chalk, walked to the charging phone and noticed an unfamiliar number, indicating it was an international call.

Lu Yu was in a good mood now, so he answered the call.

When in a good mood, Lu Yu would give unknown calls a chance; if not, he would just hang up.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I apologize for disturbing you so late. I am Zhang Longjian from Dragon Sword International Group; we've met a few times in the game." Zhang Longjian's voice sounded a bit tired, having called Lu Yu immediately after he logged off.

"It's fine, I haven't slept yet anyway. What can I do for you?" Lu Yu asked, not surprised that Zhang Longjian had his number.

After all, Wang Dalong had already revealed his identity, so it was normal for others to know his information.

What puzzled him was that with his resources, Zhang Longjian should be a Qi Cultivation Martial Cultivator by now. What in reality could tire a Qi Cultivation Martial Cultivator so much?

Zhang Longjian said, "Indeed, I have an urgent matter to trouble Mr. Lu with. Do you perhaps have any Spiritual Treasures usable in reality? I've run into some trouble."

Usable Spiritual Treasures in reality? Lu Yu was startled, pondering that his ability to engrave Spirit Arrays in reality seemed to make the appearance of Spiritual Treasures plausible. Surely, players would attempt to achieve this.

Only, he truly had no such resources usable in reality, as the items in the game's marketplace couldn't be bought out of the game, leaving him unable to assist.

"Sorry, I can obtain Spiritual Treasures in-game due to my identity as a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, but I truly have no Spiritual Treasures or Divine Soldiers usable in reality," Lu Yu replied.

Zhang Longjian regretfully said, "Alright, sorry to bother you, Mr. Lu."

"Mr. Zhang, the return ticket for tonight is already booked, departure at 6 o'clock tonight, and you should arrive in the morning."

"By plane?" Zhang Longjian felt a bit worried, "It's not safe abroad, better to return to the country first."

While talking with a Secret Technique, Zhang Longjian hadn't turned off his phone, so Lu Yu overheard the phrase "it's not safe abroad."

Hearing the departing footsteps of the Secret Technique, Lu Yu curiously asked, "Mr. Zhang, which troubled small country are you in?"

Lu Yu thought the "not safe" situation was likely in some war-torn small country. Being a chairman of a multinational group, Zhang Longjian would naturally go abroad to visit employees or conduct business, having factories in some small countries was also normal as labor is cheaper there.

Zhang Longjian realized he hadn't hung up the phone when he heard Lu Yu's voice and answered without concealing, "No, I'm in the Eagle League."

"This place is filled with dangerous individuals claiming to be mages, and politicians are busy vying for power, unwilling to manage these threats, so the Eagle League is quite chaotic now."

Describing it as "chaotic" was understating matters. By the current situation, if the Eagle League politicians didn't quickly awaken, there would be a chance they are replaced by those so-called mages.

If not for the government holding massive weapons, those grand mages might have already attacked the Hexagonal Building.

Mages? Lu Yu was utterly confused; what the heck is a mage?

With the thought of the Divine Weapon world, Lu Yu boldly guessed if there was another gaming world out there. Or perhaps those mages were gamers of the Divine Weapon world, just not in Great Zhou.

Lu Yu hadn't reached a high enough level and was unaware of what lay outside Great Zhou. From some sparse information, the Divine Weapon world likely had more than one nation.

"You didn't know?" Zhang Longjian noticed Lu Yu's reaction and asked somewhat strangely.

Logically, Lu Yu should be a heavyweight capable of obtaining so many resources, so how could he be unaware of international developments?

"I've been deeply engrossed in the Divine Weapon world game lately and haven't paid attention to outside news," Lu Yu quickly replied, detecting suspicion in his voice.

He further said, "Regarding Spiritual Treasures, I might have a way possibly to make some simple defensive Spiritual Treasures; however, I can't guarantee their effectiveness. If you want, send over some frequently worn clothes, and I will enhance their defense for you, which at worst could reach bulletproof vest levels."

"Really?" Zhang Longjian was pleasantly surprised and said, "Great, I'll send someone to deliver the items immediately."

Though not particularly concerned with the bulletproof defense, he valued the fact that Lu Yu had the capability to create defensive Spiritual Treasures.
