I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

Section 031 Chen Xin'an

Something unexpected happened to Zhou Yunshen.

Orange Smoothie did not accept his 5000 yuan payment and chose to return it directly.

Orange Smoothie: "No need for money, just consider it making friends. I'll help you this time, and you can help me in the future. Let's help each other out."

When Zhou Yunshen saw this line of text, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

After all, 5000 yuan is a lot of money, equivalent to most people's monthly salary, and not many people can resist such a temptation.

At the same time, he felt somewhat at ease.

If the other party has accepted the money, it could be a legitimate payment, or it could be a scammer using screenshots or scripts to defraud people.

Now that the other party is refusing to accept the money, the possibility that they are a scammer is extremely low.

This will greatly increase his chances of being rescued!

At the same time, he also thought more highly of the other party. Money is very useful now. It might collapse in three years. Even if it doesn't collapse, as long as these players can survive these three years, they will not lack money.

The other party didn't accept his money, but instead chose to let him owe a favor; that shows great foresight.

Zhou Yunshen typed back: "Okay, I'll be your friend. My name is Zhou Yunshen, and my in-game name is Zhou Erzhu."

Orange Smoothie: 'Chen Xin'an, his game name is Chen Ming.'

Zhou Yunshen: 'Okay, I've got it.'

Chen Xin'an: "Dude, if I may ask, which of those five newbie gift packs did you choose?"

Zhou Yun Shen typed with a hint of helplessness: "All five have cultivation aptitude."

Chen Xin'an: "Dude, you're ruthless! You actually chose five cultivation aptitudes. No wonder the start was so difficult; you're still stuck in a mountain village, unable to even handle a Xiantian martial artist."

Zhou Yunshen typed with a wry smile: "I was just playing casually back then, so I randomly selected the gift packs. I never imagined this game would actually be real."

Chen Xin'an: "That's true. When I chose my newbie pack, I was pretty casual about it. I just picked family background and special bloodline inheritance, and the rest were the same as yours—cultivation aptitude."

Why weren't any maids chosen?

Chen Xin'an: "My family has a little money, and I'm not short of women, hahaha."

Zhou Yunshen: '...'

Well, it seems this Chen Xin'an is actually quite wealthy. No wonder he rejected my 5000 yuan so decisively...

The two then chatted for a while longer.

Through the chat, Zhou Yunshen found out Chen Xin'an's current situation in the game.

Chen Xin'an's character in the game, Chen Ming, was born into the Chen family, a family of cultivators in Luchuan Prefecture.

The Chen family is a large family with a profound heritage, spanning hundreds of years. It has three Golden Core ancestors, more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators, and countless Qi Refining disciples.

Chen Ming is eight years old this year and has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The so-called protectors are guardians sent by cultivation families to protect their promising disciples from perishing along the way.

Chen Ming's protector was the Spirit Wanderer he had just sent over.

"That innate martial artist outside the formation must also be a protector, protecting his young master, the young master of the Qin family in the county town..." Zhou Yunshen had this realization in his heart.

After ending the chat, Zhou Yunshen took his gaming phone to the bathroom, then returned to bed and frowned in thought for a while.

After thinking it over, his furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

He then clicked the "Soul Transmigration" icon and entered the game world.

In the game world, Zhou Xiaoya was still sitting next to Zhou Yunshen, turning her head to look at the villagers not far away.

The villagers looked terrified.

Even Captain Chen and the three surviving hunters had the same expression.

Zhou Yun Shen gently patted Zhou Xiao Ya's shoulder, then stood up, walked to Captain Chen, and returned the map to him.

"Second Brother." Erzhu greeted Zhou Yunshen and asked, "Second Brother, what should we do next?"

Everyone, including Captain Chen, looked at Zhou Yunshen.

Behind Zhou Yunshen, Zhou Xiaoya also walked over with a limp.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhou Yun Shen remained completely calm, saying, "Wait! We can just wait here!"

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Zhou Yunshen meant by those words.

Zhou Yunshen raised his voice and said loudly, "I know Chen Ming, the young master of the Chen family in Fucheng. I have already contacted him using a secret method. He has sent his protector, True Person Lingyou, to come. True Person Lingyou is a True Person in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, with extraordinary strength. Once he arrives, we will be safe!"

After a pause, Zhou Yunshen added loudly, "If the Qin family is foolish enough to try and harm us, and they anger Young Master Chen Ming of the Chen family, they can expect to be wiped out!"

After hearing Zhou Yunshen's words, the villagers looked bewildered.

The village is isolated from information, and many villagers have very limited understanding of the outside world. What Zhou Yunshen is saying is something that many people simply cannot understand.

Da Shan and Zhou Xiaoya were also stunned.

They couldn't understand it either.

Only after a moment of stunned silence did Captain Chen realize that Erzhuzi was trying to use someone else's name to intimidate others!

"But how did Erzhuzi know about what happened in the prefectural city?" Captain Chen wondered.

Could it be made up?

But there really isn't any good solution right now.

If it's made up, then it's made up.

Captain Chen forced a smile and agreed, "That's right! Erzhuzi and the young master of the Chen family in Fucheng are close friends! Once the Chen family arrives, we'll be safe!"

Zhou Yun Shen glanced at Captain Chen with some surprise.

He hadn't expected Captain Chen to react so quickly.

However, this is a good thing for him.

With Captain Chen's agreement, the credibility of what he just said undoubtedly increased. In that case, even if the Qin family arrived here first, they should be more cautious and dare not kill them because they would be afraid to harm them.

This way, we can buy some time.

Yes, delaying the process.

Zhou Yunshen just shouted those words in order to buy time.

The words he just shouted were not meant for the villagers, but for the innate martial artist hiding in the shadows.

In order to survive in the game world, Zhou Yunshen has done everything in his power and racked his brains.

He never worked this hard when facing the college entrance exam back then...

At this moment, in the darkness outside the formation, a middle-aged innate martial artist sat cross-legged under a large tree, his expression shifting constantly.

He was a naturally born martial artist, with eyesight and hearing far exceeding those of ordinary people.

He heard every single word Zhou Yunshen said.

Zhou Yunshen's words surprised him.

How could a mere country martial artist possibly know the young master of a prominent family in the capital?

Is this kid trying to scam me?

But this kid spoke with such certainty, even mentioning the name of the young master of the prefectural city, and even knowing the protectors. Is this the kind of knowledge a country martial artist should have?

The middle-aged innate martial artist was unsure whether Zhou Yunshen's words were true or false.
