"Guess what~"
"Not playing your games, get lost!"
Zhou Yue clenched his fists in anger, grinding his teeth.
Earlier, Zhong Yi had played as Yu Ji and started with four "Borrowing Arrows" cards, completely bamboozling everyone at the table.
He secured five kills in a single round and ended the game.
In Zhong Yi's illusionary world, floating bullet comments drifted across the sky:
[Brother Zhong, you're insane!]
[Stop provoking Brother Zhou—he’ll never draw four Hearts "Borrowing Arrows" in his life.]
[I can’t get "Guess what~" out of my head now.]
[First two doubts were disbelief, last two were pure stubbornness.]
[Another round, hurry up!]
...
The livestream feature was nearly complete.
However, broadcasting permissions weren’t fully open yet—only peak elders, stewards, and true disciples could go live.
Zhong Yi was the most popular among them.
His play-by-play commentary and natural charisma made him a born streamer.
At the moment, he was reviewing the game with Mu Yawen and Zhou Yue.
"Brother Mu, we were on the same team. Why were you frowning the whole time?"
Zhong Yi asked, puzzled.
His win rate as Yu Ji was high because he excelled at reading opponents.
But Mu Yawen was the exception—he believed everything Zhong Yi said.
"I was just thinking... what does this skill 'Gou Huo' even mean?"
Mu Yawen’s brow remained furrowed as he pondered the general’s ability description.
"...That’s Xun Yu."
Zhong Yi wiped sweat from his forehead, correcting him.
Mu Yawen wasn’t much of a reader, but thanks to "Three Kingdoms Kill," he’d started on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and adored Guan Yu from the novel.
If even Mu Yawen was diving into the source material, it proved how successful "Three Kingdoms Kill" had become in the cultivation world.
The trio was deep in discussion when suddenly, a system announcement flashed across everyone’s illusionary worlds:
[New Version "Myth Reborn" Now Live!]
[Please update your Illusion Crystal and re-enter the realm.]
They quickly exited, channeled spiritual energy into their crystals for the automatic update, and logged back in.
The login screen this time was the most extravagant yet.
A long-haired, divine Zhuge Liang struck his iconic pose, palm raised to the heavens.
A violet thunder dragon coiled behind him, baring its fangs intermittently.
"Damn, this Zhuge Liang looks epic! Is he a new character?"
Zhong Yi’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
This long-haired version was a far cry from the classic feather-fan scholar or the youthful "Sleeping Dragon" variant.
His aura of controlling heaven and earth carried an almost divine presence.
Just then, Mu Yawen and Zhou Yue finished updating and joined Zhong Yi’s party.
"Whoa, this Guan Yu is sick! He looks like an ancient barbarian warlord!"
"Huh? Mine shows Sima Yi... but like, an older version."
"Wait! These must be 'Divine Generals'! Check the roster—there are eight divine cards!"
Zhong Yi was the first to open the general tab and spotted the truth.
Alongside the standard and "Wind-Fire-Forest-Mountain" packs, there was now a standalone [Divine] series.
"No way! It really is Divine Sima Yi! Where do I buy him? The shop?"
Zhou Yue’s excitement skyrocketed.
Over the past week, Sima Yi had been his go-to general, salvaging his gaming experience.
His skill to alter judgment cards had even helped him conquer his fear of [Lightning].
Without even reading the skill details, he rushed to the [Shop], determined to buy Divine Sima Yi at any cost.
But to his surprise, the shop didn’t sell general cards at all.
Only in-game items like "General Selection Cards," "Swap Cards," "Reconnect Tokens," and "Role Cards," plus interactive props like eggs and slippers.
"Strange... where do you buy generals?"
Zhou Yue was about to exit when a pop-up slapped him in the face:
[First Purchase Bundle: Spend 6 spirit stones for 1000 ingots, 1 Recruitment Token, and a permanent general (Xiao Qiao, Yuan Shao, Xu Huang, or Sun Ce—pick one).]
His eyes lit up.
The exchange rate was normally 1:100—6 spirit stones would only get 600 ingots.
This deal gave 1000 ingots plus a general? And all four options were solid!
As for the Recruitment Token, he immediately guessed it was tied to the [Summon] tab next to the shop.
This was an absolute steal!
Without hesitation, Zhou Yue made the purchase.
Just as he was leaving, another pop-up appeared:
[You have an unclaimed Monthly Pass discount. Claim now?]
"Monthly Pass? Discount??"
Zhou Yue was baffled again.
More unfamiliar terms.
Following the prompts, he noticed a [VIP Monthly Pass] in the shop for 3000 ingots.
With the discount, it was only 2400.
The perk? 600 ingots daily, totaling 18,000 over 30 days.
"Break even in four days, pure profit for the next 26?"
Zhou Yue did the math and nearly choked.
What kind of business model was this?
Meanwhile, Zhong Yi had clearly gone through the same ordeal and gasped:
"Holy—did you guys get the First Purchase and Monthly Pass deals?"
"Not yet, but I’m about to," Zhou Yue replied.
"This is way too generous..."
Zhong Yi bought the pass instantly, afraid the discount might vanish.
"Right? Junior Brother Lu is too kind!"
Zhou Yue agreed wholeheartedly.
Everyone knew how wildly popular "Three Kingdoms Kill" was.
Lu Ze could’ve charged exorbitant prices, and people would’ve paid.
Yet here he was, offering insane value for minimal cost?
A true saint!
This was the same template Lu Ze had borrowed from mobile games in his past life.
First-purchase bundles, monthly passes, battle passes...
Simple, effective, and devastatingly addictive.
No one realized they were sliding into a bottomless pit of microtransactions.
Only the blunt and honest Mu Yawen scratched his head in confusion:
"Wait... we’re spending spirit stones but not really getting anything tangible. Why do you two act like you’ve struck gold?"
...
Zhou Yue exited the shop and opened the Summon section.
Two options appeared:
[General Recruitment] and [Treasure Summon].
Naturally, he went straight to [General Recruitment].
The rules unfolded before him:
[Generals are ranked: Yellow, Mystic, Earth, Heaven, Immortal.]
[1 Recruitment Token = 1 random general.]
[Every 10 summons guarantees at least an Earth-tier or higher general.]
[Every 100 summons guarantees an Immortal-tier general.]
[Duplicate generals are dismantled into Hero Souls, which can be used to craft new generals.]
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
