Chapter 2: Giving Cultivators a Little Butter Shock
With this thought in mind, Chu Xiao suppressed his surprise and excitement and said, "Qiqi, your 'Master of Weeding the Spirit Field' is ringing."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Liu Qiqi asked, puzzled.
"You're terrible at this game."
Hearing this, Liu Qiqi finally reacted and said in a low voice, "Chu Xiao, you're calling me bad at games? What makes you think that?"
"You could fall to your death even playing a simple sword-flying game," Chu Xiao revealed the truth.
"..." Liu Qiqi on the other end of the phone suddenly felt guilty, and even her voice became a few decibels lower.
"How do you know? Can you access the game's backend data?"
"Almost, my server has received notification of your death," Chu Xiao said casually, glancing at the Myriad Souls Banner in his hand.
"Ahem, that was an accident, an accident. I just wasn't feeling good. Your game is so easy, if I played it again, I definitely wouldn't have died from falling," Liu Qiqi argued.
"Simple...is that so?" Chu Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay. Wait until my next game comes out, and see if you dare to fill in 'very simple' again next time."
"Huh? Xiao, you're making games again? Didn't you say..." Liu Qiqi kept babbling on, but Chu Xiao had more important things to do right now.
"I'm hanging up now, the sect is going to be demolished, let's talk again next time."
After Chu Xiao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, put away his phone and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and walked to the two people who were facing each other.
— Rather than a standoff, it's more accurate to say that it's a test of Qu Dehai's patience.
Once Qu Dehai's patience runs out, if Luo Xingyi still doesn't move aside, he and the plaque will really be split in two.
"Senior Qu, I have a request, but I don't know if you would be willing to listen," Chu Xiao said, pulling the stubborn senior sister aside.
Qu Dehai, with his hands behind his back, said nonchalantly, "Speak."
"As far as I know, before a sect is abolished, the Dao Alliance will issue a notice and give the sect's disciples seven days to decide what to do next."
"That's right." Qu Dehai nodded in agreement, indicating that this was indeed the case.
"In that case, could Senior Qu consider this visit as a notification, and then come back in seven days to formally decide the fate of the Xuanjian Sect?" Chu Xiao suggested.
"Your Xuanjian Sect disciples have either left or stayed. What's the point of dragging this out for seven more days?" Qu Dehai shook his head.
Seeing this, Chu Xiao's lips curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly.
We are not afraid of Qu Dehai showing resistance, but we are afraid that he will stubbornly adhere to the rules of the Dao Alliance.
Chu Xiao has awakened his memories of his past life, and his temperament is much more mature than that of the original eighteen-year-old boy.
So he quickly stepped forward, took the money pouch left by his parents from his pocket, and stuffed it into Qu Dehai's hand without saying a word.
Qu Dehai accepted the money pouch and said without changing his expression, "There have been quite a few sects that were struggling to survive like you."
"But how can a sect facing abandonment possibly attract new disciples?"
"If you're thinking of finding a friend to temporarily join the sect as a substitute, I advise you to give up on that idea. Temporary disciples who are just filling in will not be recognized by the Dao Alliance."
"Senior Sister, bring me my monthly salary for this month," Chu Xiao said, turning to Luo Xingyi.
Although he could no longer cultivate immortality, Chu Xiao, as the second senior brother of the Xuanjian Sect, still received a monthly stipend of spirit stones.
Since Chu Xiao himself doesn't need spirit stones, he usually gives his monthly salary to Luo Xingyi so that the latter can cultivate better.
Ke Luoxingyi was serious and stubborn, so how could she possibly embezzle her junior brother's monthly salary for her own cultivation? Therefore, she had only been keeping it safe for him from beginning to end.
Now that Chu Xiao intends to retrieve it, Luo Xingyi, though puzzled, did not refuse and took out a spirit stone bag from his pocket and tossed it over.
Chu Xiao reached out to take it, but his hand slipped, and the spirit stone bag accidentally fell into Qu Dehai's hands.
Qu Dehai felt the weight of the spirit stone bag, glanced at Chu Xiao's respectful yet dignified smile, and turned to leave.
"Seven days. I will visit Xuanjian Sect again in seven days. If your sect does not have enough disciples by then, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Thank you, Senior Qu." Chu Xiao said, and only breathed a sigh of relief after Qu Dehai had walked away.
Putting everything else aside, at least we bought ourselves some time and succeeded.
The next step is quite simple.
He plans to create a game over the next seven days in order to re-enter the Qi Refining Period.
"Senior Sister Luo, everything will be alright," Chu Xiao said to Luo Xingyi, who was still somewhat absent-minded.
Luo Xingyi was unaware that Chu Xiao had activated the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. She assumed that her junior brother was comforting her, so she didn't say anything and just gave a soft "hmm".
The two entered the sect and walked side by side, passing through places that were no longer as bustling as before.
As the sun set, its rays fell upon the two figures, and a cool breeze gently swept by, turning over the faded sword marks on the training ground...
……
As night deepened, Chu Xiao returned to his room after having dinner.
He sat cross-legged on the cool straw mat and fell into deep thought.
It would be a lie to say that one is not heartbroken when both parents pass away.
But saving the Xuanjian Sect is the more important thing right now than feeling heartbroken.
After all, Xuanjian Sect was the culmination of his parents' efforts over the years, and it was also the home where Chu Xiao had lived since childhood.
Even if there's only a sliver of hope, Chu Xiao doesn't want the Xuanjian Sect to be abandoned like this.
The only way to save the Xuanjian Sect is clearly...
Create a game that is challenging, spreads quickly, is easy to learn, and is fun.
Only in this way can Chu Xiao's Myriad Soul Banner absorb enough souls to allow him to return to the Qi Refining stage.
So, what kind of games meet this requirement?
Chu Xiao searched through his memories of his past life.
"The Elden Ring? No, while it's certainly fun and challenging enough, it's just too massive."
Even though the spirit network of this world can greatly simplify the difficulty of game creation, seven days is definitely not enough time for Chu Xiao to take out the complete version of the Elden Ring.
"How about we create a demo (beta version)?"
Not really. For a large open-world game like Elden Ring, even just making a demo would take a lot of effort, and a demo can't fully showcase its charm.
"If we're keeping things simple, how about something like Mario the Cat? Teaming up with Bennett Foddy to overcome obstacles (Getting Over It)? Samurai Zero?"
These games... although they are difficult and relatively simple to make, they are not played by any big streamers and the game creator is not famous, so their popularity is ultimately lacking.
Since that's the case...
"Okay, I've decided on you."
Chu Xiao smiled slightly, and having read countless games, he quickly chose the first game he wanted to create.
It is common knowledge that pornography is the primary productive force.
Regardless of the era, anything related to eroticism will always have a strong ability to spread.
Especially this cultivation world, which is relatively modern and where the gaming industry hasn't developed much.
An unprecedented butter will spread rapidly through the social circles of young people, much like a top-tier martial arts technique.
So, what kind of games include elements such as high difficulty, quick to learn, slightly risqué, and relatively simple to make?
The answer is naturally: Dead House
...Ahem, no, it should be—
Alice in Cradle
Give those repressed cultivators a little erotic shock!
