Chapter 56

"Also, I wonder if you have considered this: What if the existence that uses the穿越game is not just the one Zhou Xian encountered? What would we do then?" Zhang Taihuo raised a very practical question.

Thinking about this, everyone, including Zhou Xian, had a very grim expression.

"That's right. There are countless powerful figures in the game who could cause a disaster if they wanted to cross over from the game world to the real world!" Xu Tianyun also nodded in agreement.

"Hey, could this have something to do with the game's name change or that mysterious countdown?" Li Chuyu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

"Right, the countdown! What is that thing?" Xu Tianyun also remembered.

"Yes, yes, I originally thought it was a countdown of time, but a few days ago, it increased, which is confusing." Tao Shan's view was similar to that of the internet, but the increase in time a few days ago left him puzzled.

"The countdown increased when you, Zhou Xian, disrupted the mastermind's plan, right?" Lai Yiming asked.

"Yes, that's correct," Zhou Xian nodded.

"——Then could this countdown be referring to the time when the Great Demon invades Earth?! Wow, that sounds interesting!" Beidou said, but was immediately silenced by Zhou Xian's hand.

"Never mind her." Zhou Xian turned around and said, "There seems to be no information on this from the official website, but if it's someone from the game company, they might know something."

The official website of "Dragon Tomb" is often called "the laziest official website in the world." This is not to say that the website has nothing.

In fact, the official website of Dragon Tomb updates information and strategies daily, and there are often various activities initiated by different partners on the website.

However, if you observe carefully, the nature of the Dragon Tomb official website will surprise you.

First, the Dragon Tomb official website itself has never issued any announcements or activities. Although there are updates on the website, they are absolutely from partners. Otherwise, they are fixed events in the game, such as national wars.

Second, the Dragon Tomb official has never performed a "server maintenance update." This has never happened since the game changed from "Legendary World" to "Dragon Tomb."

From various perspectives, the Dragon Tomb official website is more like a database and news aggregator than a functional website. The official operation of Dragon Tomb itself is also like a side job, and can be described as "completely inactive."

"However, there is one point to note: although the Dragon Tomb official has not spoken, the parent company, Shenglong Group, has been very active. Personally, I believe that the parent company, Shenglong Group, probably knows little about the game's internal affairs. Moreover, the headquarters of Shenglong Group, as the parent company, is in the coastal city of Jiangzhou, while the official operator of Dragon Tomb is in our city, Zhongzhou." Zhang Taihuo's investigation had reached an impressive level.

Xu Tianyun sighed, "Do we even have the chance to infiltrate the Shenglong Building in Zhongzhou to find them?"

Speaking without intention, but listening with purpose, after Xu Tianyun said this, Zhou Xian realized that it might not be impossible. Because in the real world, he still had various abilities to support him.

"You guys, as the top emperor players in the game, do you think they might know something?" Li Chuyu spoke again.

"They definitely know something!" Zhang Taihuo said firmly, "In the game world, the secrets that emperor players can know are probably more than what the official knows. Even if they don't know exactly what happened, their information must contain relevant data."

The Dragon Tomb Club, after all, is just a group of high school students. They can do many things, but there are also many things they cannot do. Relatively speaking, adults are unlikely to believe the words of children.

This strange countdown and the anomaly of using skills in the real world are things that adults would find hard to believe.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhou Xian, the members of the Dragon Tomb Club would probably just consider it a curiosity. But after Zhou Xian informed them, they had to take the matter seriously.

In Zhou Xian's view, the entire game world of "Dragon Tomb" seems to be more than just a game.

During the emperor meeting, Zhou Xian saw the entire world. In addition, there were the words spoken by Emperor Ye Tian at that time.

"Zhou Xian, where are you now? Anyway, let's meet up first. I also want to see if your skills can really be used in the real world." Zhang Taihuo said again.

"Okay, I'll send you my address now."

Zhou Xian sent the message to everyone through his terminal.

"Xu, after you log out, remember to come find me. Say it's a summer camp activity with classmates, or my dad won't let me go out." Tao Shan patted Xu Tianyun's shoulder.

"Okay," Xu Tianyun responded, then turned to Zhou Xian, "Tao Shan and I will leave tomorrow morning and should arrive around noon."

"I'll go then too," Lai Yiming also nodded.

"Okay, if that's the case, come over at noon tomorrow. I'll show you my skills then."

After everything was settled, today's matters were basically concluded.

Leaving the virtual space, Zhou Xian felt much more relaxed. Once everyone came together, it would be much easier to do things.

"Now, let's continue practicing—"

Just as he was about to continue, Zhou Xian suddenly paused.

His talismans were all used up.

Zhou Xian still had a lot of yellow paper, but the chicken blood was long gone.

"Get someone to bring a chicken over."

Just as Zhou Xian was thinking this, someone called him.

Zhou Xian picked up his personal terminal and saw it was Li Chuyu.

"Hey, Chuyu?"

"Everyone is coming tomorrow. Do you have any cooking utensils?"

Cooking utensils? Zhou Xian looked at the stove in the kitchen: "Probably not. There's only a stove, and it hasn't been used for years. I don't know if it works."

Everything here had been completely cleared out, not even a pot or a bowl was left.

"Okay, I'll come over later and prepare lunch for them tomorrow. By the way, what do you want to eat?"

"Me? Anything is fine. Oh, if possible, could you bring a chicken? I need it to write talismans."

"Okay. See you tonight."

After saying this, Li Chuyu hung up.

"Chuyu is going to cook herself..."

Li Chuyu was originally a gourmet player in the game world and had even won a championship in the entire game. As for her cooking skills in the real world, Zhou Xian had experienced them a few days ago, and they were indeed delicious.

"Since that's the case, I'll clean up here first."

Zhou Xian went to the wall and withdrew his Daoist power from the array, stopping its operation. The world that was hidden by the array was now revealed.

Next, Zhou Xian began to move his workbench to the side.

Modern technology is advanced, even a heavy object like an iron anvil has wheels that make it easy to move. The quality of these wheels is good, and they can support even such a large object.

By the time Zhou Xian had organized the yard and filled in the large holes created by soul talismans and other skills, it was already afternoon.

"Zhou Xian!"

At this moment, Li Chuyu, who was supposed to come in the evening, was already by Zhou Xian's side.

Li Chuyu wasn't carrying any luggage, but next to her was a robot carrying a large bag. On the robot, there were even pots and pans, and Zhou Xian's attention was immediately drawn to this large robot.

"These are the cooking utensils and vegetables for tomorrow. The burlap bag contains the chicken you asked for."

After explaining to Zhou Xian, Li Chuyu looked around.

For the younger generation, such a place was a sight they had never seen before.

"This place is really beautiful, but it's a pity there are few people around."

"Yes, because everyone here has moved to the city."

Zhou Xian was unloading the items from the robot.

This large robot was definitely overloaded...

"Zhou Xian, can you really use the game's skills in the real world?" Li Chuyu immediately asked.

Zhou Xian nodded and used a healing spell on Li Chuyu.

"A warm feeling... This is a Daoist healing spell, right!"

Li Chuyu's character in the game was also a Daoist, so when Zhou Xian used this skill, she immediately recognized it.

"That's right. But now my talismans are used up, so I need this chicken to make more talismans." Zhou Xian said, then pulled the poor chicken out of the burlap bag.

"Is that so? I thought it was because you like to eat chicken." Li Chuyu tilted her head and looked at Zhou Xian.

"Actually, I do like it. If possible, I dream of having a feast every day..."

Li Chuyu raised an eyebrow, "But you can't just eat meat!"

"Hehe, if the vegetables taste good, it's fine. The vegetables in our school cafeteria... they are really terrible." Zhou Xian shook his head.

"Then, after school starts... how about I cook for you?" Li Chuyu suddenly said to Zhou Xian.

"Oh, that would be great! Chuyu, your cooking is better than the big restaurants near our school!" Zhou Xian said as he led Li Chuyu into the house.

Just as they entered, Li Chuyu was startled by the wall covered in runes, "What is this?"

"This is an illusion array... I copied it from the game. When I input my Daoist power into this array, it can disguise the entire yard."

Zhou Xian explained.

"That's impressive."

Li Chuyu walked around the wall and then looked at the equipment Zhou Xian had made.

"Are you still practicing a secondary profession in the real world?" She was a bit surprised.

"Yes. Since the real world is also dangerous, it's better to have a handy weapon. I'm preparing to make a weapon."

After saying this, Zhou Xian handed the Wind Iron Sword he had made to Li Chuyu.

"This sword feels special."

When Li Chuyu saw Zhou Xian's weapon, she was also surprised.

She held the hilt and swung the sword in the air.

"Wow? This sword feels so smooth? This is really unique!" Li Chuyu tried the movement, and it was very smooth, which made her eyes light up.

"Right, that's the special quality of this weapon. It's a privilege I gained through the game's skills. However, unfortunately, there are no sufficient materials in the real world, so I can't make better equipment. And wearing armor in the real world... that's just ridiculous."

If someone wore armor to class every day, they would need a lot of courage, and the friendly doctors from the mental hospital might come to chat with them.

Zhou Xian definitely didn't want to experience such a bizarre situation.

"Have you been practicing here for the past two days?" Li Chuyu looked at the filled-in holes on the ground. Although Zhou Xian had leveled the ground, there were still some traces left.

"More or less."

Zhou Xian sat on a large rock by the wall.

The rock, in the shade, felt cool to sit on.

"Actually, I've been trying to develop a sword technique. But it seems quite difficult. Chuyu, can you help me with this?"

"Huh? Our great expert Zhou Xian needs to learn sword techniques?"

Li Chuyu stood in front of Zhou Xian.

"Because my summoning skills are useless now. Although I can use the game's skills, in this situation, I'm basically half-disabled. Sometimes I need to rely on close-range skills to make up for it."

"Okay, no problem. What do you want to learn?" Li Chuyu asked.

"Of course, the most powerful sword technique." Zhou Xian thought of the cool heroes in martial arts novels and movies who left no trace.

"What are the most powerful sword techniques?" Zhou Xian asked again.

"The most powerful?" Li Chuyu shook her head, "There are no most powerful sword techniques. There are many sword techniques, and we don't know how many. Mr. Sun Fuguan's Bagua Sword; Mr. Zhao Lianhe's Dharma Sword and Ti Pao Sword; Mr. Ma Jinbiao's Pure Yang Sword; Mr. Zhang Jingfu's Coiling Dragon Sword, etc. Don't think that sword techniques in the real world are simple. In the real world, things are not so casual. There are also sword techniques for performance, competition, and practical use."

"Uh..."

It seems quite complicated.

"But, you've come to the right person. I know quite a few practical sword techniques."

Li Chuyu also sat on the stone, swinging her legs, "My father started learning sword techniques to restore ancient martial arts, and later opened a sword school for that reason. So our family's sword techniques are a bit different from others."

"Is that so."

When talking about her family, Li Chuyu's mood seemed a bit low, "But practical sword techniques have no观赏性, so although ancient martial arts are popular now, the sword school
