The power of the Nine Divine Thunders is stronger than before.
However, for the game character, its nature hasn't changed much.
His [Evolutionary Body] has already evolved many corresponding superpowers to resist the thunder tribulation; this thunder tribulation won't cause him any harm.
Soon, the game character completed this round of the nine thunders tribulation.
With two consecutive thunder tribulations, the game character mastered another Great Dao.
His Dao practice also had a significant improvement, nearing the True Immortal Second Realm.
However, the improvement in Dao practice is often not particularly important.
For True Immortals, amassing energy is relatively simple.
Mastering more Great Daos, on the other hand, is difficult.
Just like before, that extra named Zhang Heng tried to confront the game character again.
But the result was even worse than before, being defeated in an instant.
Then another Immortal Monarch tried to intervene.
It wasn't Zheng Ran, but an Immortal Monarch named Chu Yu.
His Dao practice was around the True Immortal Hundred Layers, mastering the Water Great Dao, with extraordinary strength.
But he was still repelled by the game character, allowing him to break into Jiang Mengli's battlefield.
This time, the one fighting Jiang Mengli was another Immortal Monarch, a True Immortal with Dao practice over the five hundred layers, named Kui Zun.
Much harder to deal with than Emperor Jing, wielding purple thunder in one hand and azure wind in the other, surrounded by Profound Light transforming into Divine Patterns that flickered, manifesting dozens of different Great Dao Divine Powers; his physical body was also terrifyingly strong, and he held a hook-shaped Immortal Artifact staff that forcefully resisted the awakening of the game character's Immortal Artifact.
It wasn't that the Dragon Horn Spear wasn't powerful enough, mainly that the game character lacked enough strength to unleash its true power.
In the end, without provoking other Immortal Monarchs to intervene, Kui Zun alone cornered the game character and Jiang Mengli into a deadlock.
As Jiang Mengli disappeared into the Dao, this gameplay session ended prematurely.
[String of Destiny snapped... Destiny Restarting... Restart Successful!]
...
Lin Qianxuan fell silent.
Failure was within expectations, as the dark path strategy was not easy.
Especially when facing someone as resolute as Jiang Mengli, it was even more so.
There were still four simulation chances left.
This strategy's difficulty was greater than any in the past.
Mainly because it was too constricting, with no room to maneuver.
Give him a month, no, half a month!
Even with just half a month, Lin Qianxuan was confident he could win some genuine favor.
Half a month's life, caring for her meticulously, leaving some shadows, sharing hearts with each other, exchanging the past, and dreaming about the future.
Under the bridge effect, drawing closer for warmth, the strategy would complete naturally.
But in fact, even considering the three days spent with Lu Tao, there wasn't even a total of four days given this time for the strategy.
Within those four days, more than a day was spent on cultivation.
And half a day was spent on the way to fight.
Admittedly, fighting can also be considered a strategy, but it's not the same.
That is to say, the actual time given for the strategy was only two days.
In two days, with a scumbag persona, to strategize with someone who could be considered an elder, and their mind was preoccupied with others, with some obsession.
The persona was poor, both in identity gap, and the deep impact left on the mind since youth by old feelings, compounded by the short strategy time, all while facing life-and-death circumstances.
Even with his extraordinary talent in love games, he couldn't help but struggle.
Honestly, in those love games that boast difficulty, at such times, they'd give the protagonist some strategy tools of considerable strength.
Otherwise, it's almost impossible to achieve such a strategy.
The strategy tool Lin Qianxuan could think of was the [Hidden Heaven Divine Jade].
If the game character could peruse the [Hidden Heaven Divine Jade], he could comprehend and learn it just by noting down its Great Dao.
Then, when tribulation came, he could engrave it on himself, easily boosting his own strength.
That was the Three Thousand Great Daos!
Three thousand, yet still a virtual number!
In reality, to operate a Great Thousand World like the Spirit Qi World, the number of Daos should be able to reach over ten thousand.
Without needing to remember many, just engraving a hundred Great Daos on himself would grant him the ability to traverse the Spirit Qi World.
Tribulation would also enhance Dao practice, faster than meditation.
After two Great Dao tribulations, the game character was already nearing the True Immortal Second Realm.
If there were a hundred chances for Great Dao tribulations, even with a big discount, it's essential to have fifty layers at least.
Add the boost from the Sound of Destiny, and the maximum power that Dao practice can wield might be a combat power equivalent to five thousand layers, not impossible.
Of course, all this is a dream.
Even with the game character's peak Dao Realm memory speed, trying to note down a piece of Great Dao information would take some time.
At the very least a few minutes.
And a one percent approval rate only adds nine seconds of [Spiritual Enlightenment] usage time.
Far from enough.
So Lin Qianxuan thought that being able to comprehend an additional five or six Great Dao rules would be pretty good.
If that were the case, he should be able to bring the game character's Dao practice to around the True Immortal Fourth Realm, combined with the boost from the Sound of Destiny, his combat power should compare to an Immortal Monarch around True Immortal Four or Five Hundred Layers.
Not to say pushing through the Spirit Qi World, but surely managing to escape with her?
As long as they can escape, new possibilities arise.
"Open!"
...
The seventh playthrough begins.
Rescue Jiang Mengli from a bunch of nobodies.
Then it's killing all the way.
Except for the initial acquisition of [Spiritual Enlightenment] used by Lin Qianxuan, the rest he tried to conserve as much as possible.
This was in hopes of comprehending more Great Dao Rules through the [Hidden Heaven Divine Jade] at Lu Tao's place.
Because he used [Spiritual Enlightenment] sparingly, the game's character strength didn't increase as quickly, resulting in several injuries along the way.
Luckily, the bitter struggle paid off, and the strategy score barely reached thirty.
However, after escaping to the Saint Realm, a comment from Jiang Mengli rendered Lin Qianxuan speechless.
[Jiang Mengli (frowning): It's not that I won't let you borrow the [Hidden Heaven Divine Jade], but the problem is, it's not a regular jade scroll in the usual sense. It's a very special information carrier, already bound to me, and only I can view it. You can't, even if I died unless the [Hidden Heaven Divine Jade] chose you as the host, you're not able to see its information.]
Lin Qianxuan was not resigned.
[Lin Qianxuan (expectantly): Then, Sister Jiang, do you have any other items recording Great Dao Divine Powers? Or perhaps, could you directly transmit the Great Dao Rules you've comprehended to me!]
[Jiang Mengli (shaking her head slightly): Only the Great Dao can bear the Great Dao, and I don't possess a Divine Power Atlas recording divine powers. As for directly transmitting the Great Dao Rules I've comprehended to you... the information of one Great Dao is extremely complex. Even if you could bear it, in one or two days, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to transfer an entire Great Dao Divine Power to you in a package. The only thing related to the Great Dao I have are some Immortal Gold and Divine Treasures for Artifact Refining and Pill Refining. If you want them, you can take them all.]
He couldn't get the Divine Power Atlas that records the Great Dao, nor the transmission of Great Dao Rules.
The game's character received only some Immortal Gold and Divine Treasures, and Spiritual Medicine.
Then Lin Qianxuan wanted the game's character to refine them.
The answer given was that even with the current True Flame, it would still take at least five days to refine one piece of Immortal Gold.
Compared to the initial year-long refinement of the Dragon Pearl, it's now hundreds of times faster.
But it's still useless.
How could Lin Qianxuan be willing to accept this?
He thick-skinnedly went to ask Lu Tao for Great Dao Divine Powers.
Lu Tao looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately refused.
[Lu Tao (shaking his head): I can't help you. This is your own tribulation. Helping you would be harming you.]
Can't help...
Lin Qianxuan's once hopeful heart was completely shattered.
Then he tentatively attempted a conventional strategy on Jiang Mengli.
Saying sweet words, giving gifts, posturing as a leader, discussing ideals, talking about the future—maxing out the dominant strategy.
The result was that Jiang Mengli felt somewhat annoyed and stopped appearing before him.
Until the last day, he had to face it himself.
He didn't even get a reminder from Lu Tao, and the game already ended.
[String of Destiny snapped... restarting Destiny... restart successful!]
.......
"Is this not working either!!"
Lin Qianxuan had three simulation attempts left, and his mindset began to shift slightly.
He was starting to lose confidence.
In the past, while playing games, he could easily gather enough heroine information profiles just by repeating once or twice, then enter the familiar parts and strategize based on their personality to easily succeed.
But this time was different; even though it broke through a 60% favorability at best, he still felt hopeless in his strategy.
The pace was too tight.
He couldn't fully unleash his means.
The heroine's emotional knots were too heavy, difficult to fully open.
External enemies were pressing, leaving no opportunities.
Lin Qianxuan stopped playing and glanced at the time.
It was only five o'clock on the afternoon of April 1st.
In less than a day, he had completed seven playthroughs.
It's clear how fast the game rhythm is.
Unlike the usual two-month game process, this time it wasn't nearly as long.
Combined it was only four days.
Most of the time was either spent fighting or in fast-forwarding cultivation.
The time for the male and female leads to interact was woefully short.
Lin Qianxuan exited the game and shut down the computer directly.
He couldn't go on.
Only three attempts remained, and he absolutely couldn't wander like a headless chicken until he figured out a direction worth trying.
He should do other things to assist his strategy at this point.
Personally going out, finding people who knew Jiang Mengli, and understanding her information from various perspectives, not missing any details.
Hobbies, personality, and some past experiences.
These are all needs to be carefully understood.
Maybe he could find some key points.
Honestly, after the fifth failed strategy, he should have considered these.
The unclear prior information, coupled with his overconfidence, led to wasting two more strategy chances.
In fact, the significance of those two attempts wasn't particularly great.
It was just hitting dead ends hard.
However, being on the path he was most familiar with, he was ultimately a bit prideful, which led to directly relying on his experience.
Taking out his phone, Lin Qianxuan began sending messages to Zhang Heng and some people who knew Jiang Mengli, preparing to visit.
Soon, he received approval from some friends.
"I hope it works this time!" Lin Qianxuan murmured.
