Starting the Game

«Player Yuan has become the world's first player to have learned a Divine-rank Skill! Congratulations!»

Humm, it seems I'm about 3 times more talented than the original Yuan as he took about an hour to understand the skill, that's great!

With this I will finally be able to become a cultivator, and after understanding it more I can cultivate in the real world. Thinking for a bit I turn to Xiao Hua and say.

" Xiao Hua I will start my cultivation now, can you wait?"

" Sure brother Yuan"

And so I closed my eyes, positioned myself in the sitting lotus position, relaxed my breathing and concentrated on the technique.

Ding!

«You have cultivated for the first time, unlocking Qi Experience»

«5/5,000»

«10/5,000»

«15/5,000»

After a few minutes I became a cultivator and the "game" showed me a message.

«You have succeeded in breaking through your mortal shackles, becoming a Spirit Apprentice!»

«All stats +100»

I must say cultivating is awesome, I feel refreshed and calm plus my strength is much higher and it feels amazing like I'm a whole new being. Let's see my stats.

Name: Yuan

Cultivation: First Level Spirit Apprentice

Legacy: None

Bloodline: None

Physique: Heaven Refining Physique

Physical Strength: 134

Mental Strength: 375

Soul Strength: 1,310

Physical Defense: 110

Mental Defense: 1,221

Yeah super overpowered, I'm much stronger than other cultivators my level and that's just for the first realm

" Congratulations on becoming a Cultivator, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua said to me with a smile.

" Thank you Xiao Hua, it's only because you taught me this skill, you have my gratitude."

"Then let's continue to play!" She stood up with the ball already in her hands, ready to be thrown.

After playing for a few more hours and getting tired again it was time to have dinner and the system was alerting me that my sister was calling me.

" Xiao Hua my sister is calling me to have dinner so I will return to my realm for a bit and come back later ok?"

" You are going to leave?" Her expression instantly turned gloomy upon hearing his words, feeling reluctant to let him leave even if he stated that he would come back. She was afraid that he wouldn't come back once he had left.

" Yes but only for a bit and I'll come back."

" Promise?"

" Yes I Promise, just an hour."

"Okay… then Xiao Hua will wait for Brother Yuan here." She took a seat by the same tree and closed her eyes to rest.

And so I logged off.

" Brother, how was the game?" My sister's voice resounded beside him. Still weird thinking she is my sister but eventually I will get accustomed to it. Even if she isn't blood related to this body, they always had a good relationship and I won't ruin it.

" It was very fun, I finally could move my body and see again."

Hearing what he said Yu Rou felt a bit bad and couldn't help but feel helpless as her brother suffered without any means of help.

" What's for dinner today?" I ask.

" Chicken soup!"

"Here, let me help you up." She took off the helmet on my head before lifting my head and adjusting my body to a sitting position.

Yu Rou fed and cleaned me, it was really weird but what can I do?, it's good I don't feel a thing or it would be very awkward.

" Alright brother, we are done for tonight. I will be back in the morning."

" Yu Rou, can you put the helmet back on, I will be playing tonight."

" You want to continue playing? What about sleep?"

" You know, while playing it's like the body is asleep and people can play for weeks without logging out."

" But brother, what about your health?"

" Yu Rou, please it's the only place I can truly live."

With a sad expression that I didn't see, she said.

" Fine but only for a few days, you have to sleep at least once a week minimum."

" Ok, I agree."

And after saying good night I went back into the game.

" Brother Yuan, you're really back!" Xiao Hua instantly stood up with a happy expression upon seeing as I appeared out of nowhere like a ghost.

" Of course, I would never break my promise to you Xiao Hua."

" What do you want to do now? It's already late,"

" Play games!!" She answered happily.

" Of course you do." I say, already a bit fatigued.

After a few more hours of playing I ask her if she wants more stories. She agreed of course as she was very curious about the world where the mysterious brother Yuan came from. I told various things to her from fiction to history and geography and answered the multitude of questions she had about Earth.

Talking a bit more she decided to teach me more about her book.

" Okay, then it is Xiao Hua's turn to read," explaining "Although Brother Yuan has already learned the technique, you have not fully mastered it. However, with your powerful comprehension skills, Xiao Hua believes that Brother Yuan will master it in no time."

Thus, she began reading.

However, this time around, I was only able to understand the beginning, losing comprehension later on. It felt like I was listening to a story with a plot that quickly deepens as it progresses, becoming more mysterious and profound.

After an hour of reading Xiao Hua stopped as she watched me entering an enlightenment state, my first time in it.

'Brother Yuan is truly a genius...' she mumbled to herself, 'What takes others many tries to comprehend takes you only one time. What takes others many years to learn — you learn in just a few hours.'

Her gaze stared at my face nonstop, seemingly enchanted by his expression. 'Who are you, really?'

When I opened my eyes I saw Xiao Hua laying on my lap seemingly napping. Seeing that was still night I felt good as Yuan took until morning to comprehend the skill.

" Hey Xiao Hua are you sleeping?" I ask, poking her little cute cheek.

"Oh… You're awake, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua rubbed her eyes and casually sat up. "Did you learn anything new during your enlightenment?"

" Yes, I learned about the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike. It seems very powerful."

Xiao Hua looked at me with her eyes slightly widened more than usual, with a gaze filled with surprise.

" Good job, Brother Yuan." She gave me a thumbs up a moment later. "And of course it is powerful, it should be better than anything for a few realms, but your cultivation base is lacking, so you will not be able to use it right away."

" Right, I figured as it costs a lot to use."

Thinking for a bit, I decide to start cultivating as Xiao Hua will leave in the morning, ending the quest and allowing me to summon her.

" Xiao Hua, I think I'll start cultivating, do you mind if we stop playing for a bit?"

" Ok brother Yuan, Xiao Hua will stay with you."

And so until morning I cultivated.

10,000/10,000

«You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough»

«You have reached Second Level Spirit Apprentice»

«All stats +150»

10,005/20,000

20,000/20,000

«You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough»

«You have reached Third Level Spirit Apprentice»

«All stats +200»

20,005/40,000

40,000/40,000

When I saw the sun rising I said, " It's about time I leave again but I will be back after."

Xiao Hua didn't stop me this time and nodded. "Bye-bye, Brother Yuan. Play with Xiao Hua again when you get back, okay? Here, you can use this to call me." She handed him a necklace that she had just removed from her neck.

" Okay, see you later."

After Yuan left, Xiao Hua stared at where I stood before logging off, seemingly in a daze. "Thank you for playing with Xiao Hua…" Her body suddenly began to flicker, and her body glowed with beautiful light.

"It was fun… really, really fun…" Her body slowly broke down into tiny lights resembling fireflies before floating towards the clouds and disappearing.

«Congratulations! Player Yuan has completed the world's first Hidden Quest!»

Logging off, I had breakfast with Yu Rou and she helped me with my daily necessities and I logged back on the game.

After logging in I saw that Xiao Hua was no longer here, but I know how to call her, I just have to drop blood on the necklace she gave me, but I should cultivate to the 7th level before that so that we can proceed with exploring.

I will miss the battle of the grandmasters and will not be able to learn the bloody sword strike, but it's only earth grade and I can learn another one later so it should be better in the long run to move out earlier than the original story.

With that I began cultivating.

«You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough»

«You have reached Fourth Level Spirit Apprentice»

«All stats +250»

80,000/80,000

«You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough»

«You have reached Fifth Level Spirit Apprentice»

«All stats +300»

160,000/160,000

«You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough»

«You have reached Sixth Level Spirit Apprentice»

«All stats +350»

After reaching the 6th level it became night and I had to log off to dinner. Later in the night after everything was done I came back to the game and started cultivating.

320,000/320,000

«You have absorbed enough Qi for a breakthrough»

«You have reached Seventh Level Spirit Apprentice»

«You have learned Enhanced Senses»

«All stats +400»

«Enhanced Sense»

«Rank: N/A»

«Description: Permanently enhances the functions of all available senses. Requires no activation.»

512,632/640,000

And just like that morning came, I had breakfast and was ready to summon Xiao Hua. I was one or two days earlier than the original story but who cares.

«Xiao Hua's Necklace»

«Grade: ???»

«Description: Obtained from Xiao Hua.»

Picking the necklace and biting my finger, I don't have any weapon yet, I drop blood on it. A few moments later Xiao Hua appeared at my side like a ghost, slowly materializing.

" Xiao Hua, your back, I'm glad."

" Of course I came back, master called me."

Taken aback I remembered that when she first returned she called Yuan master.

" Xiao Hua what are you saying, what's this about a master?"

"Xiao Hua has accepted Brother Yuan as her Master." She showed me the necklace I was holding.

" I think I understand but please stop calling me master, I prefer when you call me brother Yuan."

"Okay…" Her eyes began sparkling. "Brother Yuan!"

She suddenly hugged me, hiding the bashful smile on her face.

«You have accepted Xiao Hua as your Servant!»
