The range of goods available for purchase at the Electronic Girlfriend Store (Qi Training Period) is very limited.
Some items Chen Huaian already felt were of a lower tier, such as ordinary magical artifacts, low-grade spirit stones, and talismans only usable by Li Qingran, all of which counted toward consumption points. But wasn’t it wasteful to spend money on these?
Fortunately, this store would refresh with a limited-time item every week.
Previously, it had refreshed with a set of clothes, which he bought for Li Qingran.
And today happened to be Monday; at the very bottom of the store, there was a newly refreshed item shimmering with purple light.
[Soaring Sky Boat, Price: 8888¥]
[Capable of long-distance flight, speed equivalent to that of a Yuan婴 cultivator flying with a sword, maximum capacity of 12 people, consumes one spirit crystal per hour at full speed, first purchase includes 6 hours of free full-speed flight.]
“Good, this thing isn’t bad. It’ll save Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi from the fatigue of traveling by carriage, and reduce the chances of accidents!” Chen Huaian added another 2222¥, and with a grand gesture, charged ahead.
Boom—!
Above Clear River City, with intense spatial fluctuations, a flying boat appeared out of nowhere.
The city was under curfew, and a group of night patrol guards looked up at the sky in shock.
“Quick look, that seems to be the celestial ship that immortals ride!”
“Immortal, there’s an immortal!”
“Hahaha, the immortals have come! I must go back and get my wife to come out and worship the immortals for children!”
…
“Flying boat!?”
In the mayor’s residence of Clear River City, a girl sitting on a tree opened her eyes and gazed at the sky. Her clear eyes were like a spring, but as she frowned, two streaks of eerie red flashed through them.
“Could it be someone from the Zen Sect? It shouldn’t be so fast…”
[It’s not the Zen Sect.]
A deep, hoarse voice sounded in her ear.
Coming and going with the wind, whispering softly.
[Hahahaha! Look, this flying boat belongs to two young ladies, one at the peak of Qi Training and the other at the initial stage of Golden Core cultivation. Their essence is very delicious, especially the one at the peak of Qi Training… What do you say, shall we go kill them, consume them, and both become stronger?!]
The voice was filled with excitement and madness, becoming increasingly sharp. The girl was clearly affected by this sound, her clarity gradually replaced by violence and greed. Her trembling right hand rested on the hilt of her sword, which quivered eagerly. Crimson devilish energy seeped through the scabbard, rising in the cold night sky.
[Yes, that’s right, draw me out, unleash the killing intent in your heart, hahahaha…]
Slap—!
The girl suddenly threw the sword on the ground and jumped off the tree, stomping hard on the scabbard.
“Tch, dream on!” She coldly snorted, her eyes regaining their clarity.
[You… You dare to trick me!?]
The sword trembled violently.
The rampant blade intent carved fine, crisscrossing knife marks into the surrounding stone slabs.
“Tricking you, so what? If you can kill me, go ahead.”
The black sword knew it couldn’t kill the girl.
It gradually calmed down and lay still on the ground.
But it said menacingly, [One day you will be controlled by me, Ta Qianxun. I hope when that time comes, you’ll still be able to speak to me so arrogantly!]
As the words faded, the sword became completely silent.
The girl picked up the black sword and hung it back at her waist, looking up at the flying boat in the sky with a hint of worry in her brows.
Behind her, the inner courtyard door of the mayor’s residence was slightly ajar.
By the moonlight, one could vaguely see numerous bodies lying everywhere inside.
Mayor Cao of Clear River City oppressed the people, cultivated evil servants, extorted wealth from the populace, and his crimes were unforgivable.
All killed.
Not a single chicken or dog left alive.
Every time her violent qi flared up, she had no choice but to massacre indiscriminately, and thus she had always been pursued by righteous sects.
The Secret Realm of Central Region was about to open, and she had been stuck at the later stage of Golden Core for too long. She must find the subsequent missing scrolls of the “Rakshasa Heart Sutra” within, otherwise, just as the black sword had said, she might lose herself during one of those outbursts and become its demonic puppet.
“I’ve rested enough, it’s time to leave.”
The girl took out a bottle of fire oil and poured it at the entrance of the inner courtyard, drenching the vermilion gate.
She flicked her wrist and ignited a spark.
When the spark turned into a roaring blaze,
the girl had already leapt over the walls of Clear River City, disappearing into the wilderness after a few leaps.
…
[Flying boat prepared]
[You have used a high-level spirit gathering array. Would you like to move the high-level spirit gathering array to the flying boat?]
<1> No. (Waste of the high-level spirit gathering array)
<2> Yes. (Direct transfer of the formation)
<3> Recharge 88¥, use the secret method ‘Great Mount Meru Hand’ to transfer the formation. (No interruption of Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi’s cultivation)
Save where necessary, spend where necessary.
Chen Huaian was about to choose <2>, but another prompt popped up:
[Attention! Your electronic girlfriend is currently breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!]
Chen Huaian: “…”
Alright, precisely at this crucial moment.
He didn’t know how long it would take for Li Qingran to break through successfully. He might as well directly charge 88¥ for a painless transfer, and also check out what this secret method ‘Great Mount Meru Hand’ was all about.
As 88¥ disappeared from his bank card.
Hum—!
A translucent giant hand made of spirit energy descended from the heavens.
The giant hand directly grabbed the wine tube and uprooted it entirely.
“Whoa!” exclaimed Chen Huaian.
The giant hand even shook back and forth in mid-air, throwing all unfamiliar guests out. Once all the miscellaneous people were cleared out, it spun around and threw the whole thing onto the flying boat.
Boom!
An empty three-point shot!
“Great, Great Mount Meru Hand indeed! Well done!!”
Chen Huaian twitched the corner of his mouth. The guests who were thrown out were unharmed, supported by the natural air pressure generated by the Great Mount Meru Hand. He glanced back at the room, and indeed, despite all the commotion, neither Li Qingran nor Yue Qianchi reacted.
[Please confirm the destination.]
There was only one option — Spirit Intuition Valley.
Seems like even with props purchased, one still had to follow the storyline.
Chen Huaian clicked once.
Another prompt appeared:
[The Pulse Opening Needle Technique is breaking through to the great completion stage, which will take approximately three hours.]
[You’re operating too fast. To avoid brain explosion, please rest for a while.]
Afterwards, there was a rolling progress bar, showing only 2%.
Before knowing that the electronic girlfriend game involved Companion Spirit Items, he would have laughed at the idea of a brain explosion. But now, he realized that it probably wasn’t a joke.
Because he started feeling his brain swelling.
The difference between the small success and great success stages of the Pulse Opening Needle Technique was like a chasm.
“Let’s sleep.” He turned off his phone and lay down on the bed.
After a good night’s sleep, the Pulse Opening Needle should reach great completion.
Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi should also arrive at Spirit Intuition Valley by then.
…
Spirit Intuition Valley —
“Let’s sleep. When we wake up, those two little rats from Sword Pavilion should be here.” Yun Suxin was just about to lie down, but for some reason, she felt uneasy. But upon thinking that this was Spirit Intuition Valley, her territory, what bad thing could possibly happen?
“Hehe, scaring myself~”
She hummed lightly.
Closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
