In the previous life, a huge event occurred in Heaven in the year 2092.
This was just because a player had successfully summited a huge mountain. That mountain was Wangshan!
More importantly, he even shared his findings on the summit on forums, which caused a mighty uproar.
Because of this, the player became popular too. This was because many unions wanted to buy the route to summit Wangshan, in order to exploit the opportunity first.
In the previous life, many players found their own place after five years of seasoning. As they found their own position, they gradually had less interest in levelling up and focused on the seemingly unconquerable mountains, as well as the attractive paradises.
In real life, they were unable to do all these things. However, in the game known as the “second reality,” they were able to fulfil the dreams in their hearts and conquer the mountains and freefalling downwards from them. That was an experience like no other.
Some people called this period of time the “Adventure Revolution,” where players explored unknown places and objects without the guardianship of living things. Some players even found surprising items, such as chests and hidden conditions that were spawned by larger missions. Some players even found some obscure pieces of history through libraries, leading them to raid tombs.
In this context, a player who was around Level 100 placed his gaze on Wangshan in Yanguo.
He wasn’t the first to have such a thought. According to legends, no player had ever summited Wangshan. This was a mountain without a conqueror.
Hence, he felt the desire to conquer this Wangshan.
Wangshan…one could only see the body of the mountain but not the summit. The summit of the mountain raised itself high above the clouds, so people’s visions were limited to only a part of the mountain, obscuring the scenery at the top. However, at night, if one looked from afar, and looked at the sky above Wangshan, he would realize that Wangshan’s aurora would hover in the mystical, starry night.
Perhaps, that was how Wangshan got her name.
Wangshan was also a lone mountain, standing alone in the extreme north of Huaxia.
After 48 in-game hours, this player managed to step on the summit. The difficult process aside, his discovery of a huge secret after conquering the mountain made Wangshan a place of desire for many players.
Chu You finally came to the foot of Wangshan. From this position, Chu You was at the same spot as the place where the player from the previous life had started.
Thinking of the forum post made by that player, Chu You smiled slightly. Indubitably, he had fantasized about climbing this holy mountain one day as well.
Perhaps, if he had, he wouldn’t have ended up like this…
If he was able to scale this holy mountain, he would never be defeated in this life.
Listening to the massive roar by his ear, Chu You knew that that was a mountain stream flowing from a hole at the cave at the top of the mountain. The way the water cascaded formed a magnificent waterfall.
Straight down three thousand feet the white spraying torrent does run. Descending from Ninth Heaven, could this be the Milky Way? This poem perfectly encapsulated this waterfall.
Chu You was undoubtedly on the hind side of the mountain. The route to climb the mountain once again flashed past his mind.
In a moment, Chu You took in a deep breath. His eyes flashed a steely gaze before he commenced the climb!
This lone mountain was too tall – it was so tall that it took a Level 100 player 48 hours to climb. It was obvious how tough and dangerous the climb was.
It was good that Chu You had attained the route to climb the mountain in the previous life. That piece of information was carefully curated by that player, so as to save the time of other players by pointing them in the correct direction.
Even so, it wasn’t a short climb. It would take a lot of time.
…
“Bright Night, are you done with the instance mission?” Flying Sparrow Zhao asked Lin Luoer gently, smiling.
“Phew, finally passed.”
Lin Luoer relied on perseverance to pass the single-player Nightmare instance mission, but her mental state was wavering.
“Do you want to follow me to level up? I’ll bring you.”
After completing the mission, Lin Luoer levelled up to Level 2, and applied her character points to intelligence.
Lin Luoer was actually quite thankful for this Flying Sparrow Zhao. In that horrifying instance mission, her voice had accompanied her the whole way and relieved much of her mental pressure. If not for her comments, Lin Luoer would have taken ages to pass the mission.
After the whole ordeal, they became true friends.
“Oh, no. The system is telling me to eat something, so I have to go offline,” said Lin Luoer tiredly.
“Mm, growth can’t be accomplished in a short period of time, so just take it slow. Remember to call me, I’ll tell you what to do.” Flying Sparrow Zhao was as gentle as ever.
“Okay, got it. Thanks, sister Yan,” said Lin Luoer. She looked at Chu You’s icon slightly nervously. “Are you hungry?” she asked weakly.
Lin Luoer waited in the crowd for a moment before realizing that Chu You had not replied. She shook her head and chose to go offline.
In the cozy bedroom, the sci-fi styled gaming cabin opened slowly. Lin Luoer stood up immediately and felt a pang of hunger.
Opening her door, she realized that Chu You’s bedroom door was still closed. Lin Luoer was surprised – did he not have to eat? It was already 8 PM.
Lin Luoer came to the kitchen and turned on the light. The room brightened up immediately. She walked to the fridge and opened it.
What surprised Lin Luoer was that there were vegetables in the fridge. However, she felt it odd that there were all sorts of expensive champagnes and beers. There was a bottle of champagne with a head ornament that was obviously made from real gold. There was no way that was affordable. However, at the same time, there was raw pork…
This image was so strange!
Closing the fridge door and looking through the kitchen, she realized that there was a full assortment of utensils and condiments, some of which she hadn’t even used before. However, it looked like these things were newly bought.
Was it that she had to take up the responsibility of cooking? This thought immediately gave Lin Luoer a dilemma. She had planned on cooking a simple dinner for herself, but now… it seemed like she had to prepare a portion for that young master, her new boss. If she ate herself, it would seem rude.
Never mind, she’d make dinner for both. Whether Chu You liked the food or not, it was up to him. As long as she did it, she would be fine.
After arriving at this thought, Lin Luoer became relaxed and began to cook.
When the food was ready, Chu You’s bedroom door opened with a creak.
Chu You was hungry. When he saw Lin Luoer’s jumping icon, he was passing a dangerous stretch of cliff. He couldn’t stop there and had to complete the climb in one go.
After hearing Lin Luoer message, it dawned on Chu You that he hadn’t even eaten. Lin Luoer must have been famished! Hence, Chu You immediately left the game and felt a little guilty that he wasn’t responsible as a boss.
After opening the door, Chu You immediately heard some sounds from downstairs. It was an incredibly familiar sound, so he came downstairs, curious.
“Chu You, you’re here! The food is ready, let’s eat.”
You know how to cook? Chu You was taken aback, as he really didn’t expect Lin Luoer to be able to do this. Before everything, she was the cold and pampered daughter of a wealthy family – there was no way she had cooked before.
“Err… okay. I was thinking of going out to eat, but since you’ve cooked, let’s just eat here.”
Chu You sauntered towards the dining table, where three different dishes were placed.
Chu You looked at the three dishes expectantly. At the same time, he exclaimed to himself that Lin Luoer was really an extraordinary person. She was pretty, good at the game, and was also a good cook – someone like that was really hard to come by.
Looking at the first dish, egg and tomato stir-fry, Chu You nodded to himself. Although it looked a bit strange, that didn’t matter.
The second dish was a soup, named egg and tomato soup. That was alright as well.
Chu You looked at the last dish, and his eyelids jumped open.
Egg and tomato stir-fry!
Damn, egg again? Did she just split one dish into two?
Can anyone tell me what this is all about…
