The earthquake on Panshan caused a rockslide.
One of the massive rocks fell in front of the cable car ticket office, crushing a descending cable car into a pancake.
Fortunately, the cable car system was not affected; otherwise, all the tourists on the cable car would have been in danger.
What was even more surprising was that the seven people killed inside the crushed cable car were drug traffickers, with both parties involved in the transaction.
These seven individuals were also the masterminds of two drug organizations, their hands stained with many lives.
Many people said it was the manifestation of the Panshan mountain deity.
Others linked this sudden incident to the mirage during the Panshan Fengshan ceremony.
…
This was something Chen Huaian learned later.
His first action after coming down the mountain was not to call an ambulance but to find a small supermarket to borrow a power bank, charge his phone, and open the ‘Electronic Girlfriend’ game, sitting in a chair as if nothing had happened, while Zhang Rui was nervously calling 120 beside him.
He felt he was partly responsible for Chen Huaian’s fracture today.
If he hadn’t spoken so harshly, Chen Huaian might not have insisted on climbing Panshan?
“Let me see what my electronic girlfriend is up to.”
Just as the game screen opened,
Chen Huaian was flooded with notifications.
[You have 130 days left of your life.]
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is under attack by a small beast tide!]
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is fighting fiercely…]
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ has been injured.]
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is severely wounded!]
What the heck?!
Chen Huaian’s heart tightened. How could she be injured just from climbing for a short while?
How could there be a beast tide at midnight?
Even if monsters usually come out at night, this is a game, do players not sleep?
He quickly dismissed all the notifications, only to see a heartbreaking scene.
The house was almost destroyed by the monster assault. Li Qingran was surrounded by monsters, with corpses of monsters scattered around her.
She knelt in a pool of bl**d, her head lowered, her black hair covering her face, holding a broken sword in her hand. She was wearing a new outfit obtained through a 30 credit recharge, but now it was covered with large and small claw marks, the torn fabric revealing nothing but bloody wounds.
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is on the brink of d*ath!]
“What a pity, I still couldn’t meet… Senior…”
Li Qingran felt she was about to d*e.
She raised her head with difficulty, looking at the hole in the ceiling, her pale, emaciated face devoid of color.
Her hollow eyes stared at the early morning sky, growing darker, everything in her vision gradually turning gray.
Living for 19 years, looking back, all she could see was sorrow.
Her father died in battle, her mother poisoned by an assassin from an enemy country.
Thinking entering the Bluecloud Sect could avenge her parents, she found herself sinking from one quagmire into another.
The cultivation world had strict rules, forbidding interference in mortal affairs.
But these rules were merely shackles for ordinary cultivators.
So she diligently improved her cultivation, hoping one day to rise above the rules and comfort her deceased parents’ spirits in heaven…
Now she was expelled from the sect, left with her spirit root in her dantian destroyed.
A sparrow flew past the hole in the roof.
Li Qingran’s eyes gained some luster.
In just two days, every detail of her encounter with the senior flashed through her mind,
Even though the senior never appeared, they gave her unconditional care and warmth.
“This life… Qingran can no longer repay the senior’s kindness… Cough, cough, cough.”
She hunched over, bl**d and tears mixed, dripping down her mouth.
“If there is a next life…”
Seeing Li Qingran swaying, the monster rushed forward to tear apart the girl.
At that moment.
Hundreds of bolts of lightning descended from the sky.
Boom—!
The dazzling lightning struck with a fierce and authoritative aura, turning the small house and its surroundings into a blazing white.
Song Jiaojiao, who had just planned to leave, hid in a secret formation, staring in shock.
What did she just see?
A large number of lightning fire talismans fell from the sky, shooting towards those monsters!
Whose lightning fire talismans were these?
Could they be Li Qingran’s?
But the cheapest lightning fire talisman cost 500 low-grade spirit stones each. Using so many would require at least tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. Li Qingran couldn’t possibly have that much money. So there was only one possibility: someone behind Li Qingran intervened.
Who could that person be?
Song Jiaojiao looked at the endless lightning, her face pale.
The lightning continued.
The lightning fire talismans seemed to be thrown without restraint.
At least two hundred were thrown, killing and disintegrating all the monsters inside and outside the house, turning their remains into ashes.
The lightning gradually faded, and the small house remained intact.
…
Inside the house, Li Qingran lay unconscious in a pool of bl**d, surrounded by raging flames, but a golden shield protected her from the fire.
“Sss—! This place is not safe to stay long.”
Song Jiaojiao felt something was about to go wrong, sensing a bad omen.
The next second, a lightning fire talisman suddenly appeared above her.
The talisman emitted a golden glow, and the words on it seemed to carry the authority of thunder.
“This is, a Celestial-grade?!”
Song Jiaojiao widened her eyes.
A Celestial-grade lightning fire talisman was heading straight for her.
For a tiny, pre-base-building cultivator like her?
There was no need to wonder how they discovered her.
Someone who could treat such talismans as trash wouldn’t be fooled by her concealment formation.
“Hahaha…”
A bitter smile appeared on Song Jiaojiao’s face.
The next second,
Boom—!
A thick golden lightning bolt descended from the sky.
The concealment formation shattered instantly.
Song Jiaojiao’s remains were nowhere to be found…
…
Seeing all the red dots on the map dead, Chen Huaian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn’t that nervous when he fractured his bone or when he encountered falling rocks on Panshan.
“d*mn, can’t this game set an enemy alert? Just a moment away, and suddenly there’s a monster attacking?”
He had already drawn five hundred times from the lucky draw pool.
The items he got were either spirit stones, lightning fire talismans, or communication talismans.
To put it simply, opening low-grade spirit stones was definitely a loss, but getting lightning fire talismans or communication talismans was considered a gain.
Moreover, among the lightning fire talismans he got, there were a dozen or so superior and supreme-grade ones.
Celestial-grade ones were the hardest to get, and he got two after drawing five hundred times.
He used one just now to k*ll the little boss hiding in the dark.
However, he also got an ultimate-grade magical weapon, the Plain String Sword.
He didn’t know how much an ultimate-grade magical weapon would sell for, but since there was none in the Qi Refinement shop, it must be a commonly used weapon for cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage.
He should have made quite a profit, right?
But now was not the time to think about that.
Chen Huaian’s face turned serious as he pointed at Li Qingran’s body.
[Status: Excessive bleeding, near d*ath]
[Cultivation Progress: 1456/4999 (5th Tier)]
[Lifetime Remaining: A few moments]
[Friendship Level: 35 (Admiration)]
“Mmm… The game character is seriously injured. According to normal procedures, medicine should be given first.”
Chen Huaian opened Li Qingran’s storage ring and dragged an immortal-grade great restoration pill to her mouth.
But he received this notification:
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is severely wounded and near d*ath. She cannot swallow the great restoration pill on her own. Medication failed!]
It was very logical and realistic.
Chen Huaian thought,
If you make a game this hardcore,
Are you trying to recruit for the civil service exam?
