Chapter 39
The familiar sunset, the familiar woods, the familiar courtyard, and the familiar person lying unconscious in the courtyard.
Having dinner with the old director at the Seventh Hospital, Bai Yi returned to the old city district. By this time, the sky had turned dark.
That night, after falling asleep, he entered the nightmare game again.
However, this time Bai Yi also brought along the immortal cultivation manual from Li Daotian – to be precise, it was the “Puppet Master’s Journal” with all the contents of the immortal cultivation manual added to it. As an item stored in the system, Bai Yi could extract it anytime during the game.
In fact, this manual didn’t help Bai Yi much. He had already figured out a way to complete the mission. The reason he brought the manual was purely out of curiosity!
— Li Daotian had been devoted to cultivation for twenty years, obsessively delving into immortal cultivation. Were these so-called immortal cultivation postures he researched just the wild fantasies of a mentally ill person with no logic, or did they have some truth to them, but the barren world couldn’t support his fantasies becoming reality?
— Was he a complete lunatic detached from reality, or a genius born in the wrong era and world?
Bai Yi had been curious about this question for a long time. And now, this instance would undoubtedly help him find the answer.
For example, the issue of spiritual roots. It seemed there were readily available materials at hand for him to make use of — he glanced at the old man barely clinging to life at his feet. With experience from several playthroughs, Bai Yi knew very well how long this NPC could survive. He turned and headed to the kitchen.
