In order to ascend, I had no choice but to play games.

Chapter 291 The Troubles of the Weapon Spirit (Second Update)

After receiving this title, Gonggong cried.

It was not because this title was difficult to obtain, but because the examiner saw her frying shredded potatoes and asked her to stop and asked her something that made her cry:
"Why did you come here?"

Realizing that Gonggong was still confused, the examiner said in a friendly manner: "With your skills, you can make a living in Lin'an City. It's too unskilled to stay here. You must have practiced a lot. Hurry up and get the certification and go to Lin'an City." Come on. Oh, why are you so excited? Stop crying and let’s go.”

Gonggong cried even more sadly when he thought that he had suffered so many days in vain.

Wiping away her tears, Gonggong ran to her hotel. She immediately asked the governor and Taiyin to pack their luggage together and prepare to officially leave here.

After learning that Gonggong had won the title, the ghost bride's lips curved into a happy smile at first, but then she immediately restrained it.

The ghost bride under the red hijab sighed, looked at the clothes in her hands and said, "I thought I could catch up, but it's a pity that I can't. Forget it, just make do with it, and if it doesn't work, just sell it. When will we set off?"

"Tomorrow..."

"That's okay, I can also give you a pair of extra soles. Everything in Linhua City is expensive, so you have to be careful there and don't mess around."

"Oh……"

"You have the money, so I won't prepare it for you. You can spend your own money yourself. Don't spend as much as you have like here."

"Ah."

"Remember to write a letter of divorce tonight, so that I won't be able to get married later."

"Uh-huh?"

After holding the soles of Gonggong's shoes stitch by stitch, the ghost bride said: "Why are you so surprised? Although I am a ghost bride, I can also be regarded as a ghost cultivator. You know what you are thinking very clearly. If you want to leave, I won't To stop you, as long as we don’t hate each other in the end.”

"You already know this...then why do you still want to help me?"

"At first I thought you broke my paper figurine, so I just wanted to give you some retribution. Then I saw you were having fun, so I just wanted to have some fun for myself. The fun was almost over, and it was time to end. You go and have a rest. It’s time to go to Lin’an City tomorrow.”

"What about you?"

"I'll leave as soon as the shoes are finished."

"it is good……"

Under the oil lamp, the ghost bride carefully held the soles of her shoes. Her tall figure was set off by the oil lamp, making her quiet and serene, exuding a mother-like warmth.

The next day, before dawn, Gonggong and his party were ready to set off.

The ghost bride and ghost wife stood at the gate of Nan'an City, quietly watching the group of people leave, as motionless as a stone watching the husband.

Realizing that Gonggong's pace was a bit heavy, the supervisor asked in a low voice: "Don't you say something?"

"We scumbags never look back after we explode."

"Are you planning to come back after you clear the level?"

"... back."

Sitting on the carriage heading to Lin'an City, Gonggong held the dog's tail grass in his mouth and drove towards Lin'an City amidst the jingle of the carriage.

Turning his head to look at the two ghosts getting smaller and smaller behind him, Gonggong probably understood why players like games.

Although I know everything here is an illusion, the feelings flowing in it are sincere and pure.

They are just phantoms condensed from this world, but they feel real to people. Even if they know they are fake, they are still moving enough.

It is another world, another life. It allows silicon-based creatures like Gonggong to experience human emotions and let her understand the value of them.

A different kind of emotion flowed in her heart, making her feel that she was truly living in the present at this moment.

The second time I stepped into Lin'an City, the feeling was different again.

Previously, Gonggong's cooking skills were not high enough. She only thought the cooking skills of roadside chefs looked good, but she couldn't tell whether they were good or not.

Now, her cooking skills have been improved to level five, and you can see many differences at a glance.

The fleshy guy was very good at cutting. The finger-long blade flew up and down in his hand, and the dough pieces fell into the water one after another, all of the same size.

A player was on the roadside, carving a radish with an embroidery needle going back and forth. Patterns appeared on the radish with thick arms, which turned out to be a picture of a lady.

"Warlord, I want to learn that!" Gonggong said excitedly, pointing at the player carving radish.

"Go find the NPC here first! And don't mess around, don't cause unnecessary trouble!"

"Isn't the result pretty good?"

"That's because we are lucky. It won't be like this next time." "I believe our luck will continue to be this good."

"That's what you thought."

"Taiyin thinks so too, doesn't it?"

"That's what you thought."

While bickering, they walked towards their destination. Soon they arrived at the local government office and saw the person in charge.

The other party was a fat man weighing over 200 kilograms. When he walked, his chest bumped up and down, and his belly bounced back and forth like a water-filled balloon.

Looking at the three people who walked in, he wiped the sweat from his head and said to them: "You are the new ones, right? I am the person in charge here. You can just call me Dr. Dian."

"Is there anything special about this name?" Taiyin asked doubtfully.

"Nothing particular about it, I just like it. Well, welcome here. Linhua City has a long history, countless ingredients, and countless hidden recipes. It is a paradise for food lovers and an arena for chefs. Here, you can open your own small shop, or compete with others to seize each other's shop and recipes. As long as we don't find out about using despicable means, then there will be no problem. "

Gonggong thought about the other party's words quietly, feeling that the other party had hinted a lot.

Not being discovered is not a prohibition. As long as a leader has good means and does not fall into any trap, then all behaviors are acceptable.

Unlike Nan'an City, which requires a plot, Linhua City is mainly a confrontation between players, seeking information from each other to obtain better recipes and obtain the crown of the God of Cookery.

Currently, the current peak number of online users in Lin'an City is around 20, which is a bit small compared to the number of game purchasers exceeding [-] million, but this number is actually normal.

Most players are still experiencing the single-player gameplay of Nan'an City. At most, they are playing with a few friends like Gonggong. They have not yet been exposed to online gameplay.

After all, to get here you need to obtain the title of Novice God of Cookery, and if you are not particularly aggressive, it will take a month to complete.

But even so, the current number of people is still a very scary number.

Those who can come here are all players who have passed the single-player gameplay. They either have their own adventures, or they are chefs in reality. Everyone has two brushes. They come here to shock the NPCs here.

Moreover, the supervision in Lin'an City is stricter, prices are higher, and there are practitioners patrolling the sky, making it difficult for ghosts to enter.

There is also surveillance in the city, so those who want to make a name for themselves must be careful.

After listening to Dr. Dian's introduction, Gonggong and his party probably knew what was going on here.

Efforts have been made to build a fair arena here, where a large number of players compete and cooperate together to gain the title of God of Cookery.

Faction relationships become more complicated here. Players who join one faction may offend another faction.

Players can also form their own factions, but this also means that many advanced recipes are missing, and the early stage must be very difficult.

After finding a suitable seat in a roadside hotel, Gonggong temporarily turned off the live broadcast, ordered a jar of wine, and then said to his friends: "What should we do next?"

Taiyin drank the wine and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, we are just here to have fun, so just open a shop casually and keep doing the same."

"That's what I said...but, I suddenly want to compete for the title of the God of Cookery."

The warlord looked at Gonggong: "Then what are you doing? Don't tell me that you, a guy who can hide from a large number of steel guards, have given up at this time."

"It's not that I'm a coward, it's just that the physical body has a stronger influence on me than I imagined. I can feel that the Ghost Bride has had a certain impact on my character, and this influence will exist even if I leave here."

The Overseer thought for a moment: "You have become more human."

"That's what it means."

"It's not a bad thing. Our Far Travelers are also humans, and the animals and plants we need to cooperate with in the future are also variants of humans, so it's not a bad thing that you become like a human now."

After a pause, the warlord took a long breath: "Actually, I am just like you, I also feel this way."

"Really?" Gonggong asked in surprise.

"Yeah. I was embarrassed to say it before, but I felt relieved when I saw you were the same. The power of the Great Heavenly Lord is indeed terrifying, and I am developing a sense of identity as a human being, but I don't hate it."

"Me too!" Taiyin, who was drinking at the side, said immediately.

Gonggong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After knowing that she was not alone, she said sincerely: "Thank you, it's good to know that I'm not alone."

"You're welcome, you also let us know you better. Do you have any other questions?"

"Yes, what kind of books do you like to read recently? I want to know more about human beings."

"...You already look a lot like him."
