A tremendous number of cultivators were watching Lu Ze's match. At this moment, the bullet comments in the sky surged continuously like a tidal wave.
[Qinghe? Shanhe Po? How did they end up in the same match as Old Demon Lu?]
[And those two are on the same team!]
[We are in for a good show now~~]
[Haha, you can tell at a glance they are gunning for Old Demon Lu!]
[These two entered the map with two million worth of gear, while Old Demon Lu only has a broken pistol...]
[Tier six armor and dual guns, are these two guys crazy for fame??]
[Damn, what a coincidence? Qinghe and Old Demon Lu, one is on the east side of the Administration Palace, and the other is on the west!]
[Looks like Old Demon Lu is going bankrupt soon.]
[Mourning for Old Demon Lu in advance!]

"Oh no! Qinghe and Shanhe Po spawned on the east side of the Administration Palace, and Junior Brother Lu is on the west side... This is bad!"
Zhong Yi frowned deeply, his perspective switching back and forth between Qinghe and Lu Ze.
"Old Zhong... hearing you say that, why do I suddenly feel like it is not so bad after all?"
Zhou Yue muttered softly.
"Do not go into the building, do not go into the building... go loot the military camp... I beg you..."
Zhong Yi prayed softly with rapt attention.
But Lu Ze just had to run straight toward the Administration Palace.
As soon as Zhong Yi watched the match, his old habit of commentating flared up.
"Do not go into the building, do not go into the building..."
"Wait! Junior Brother Lu seems to have heard my call, he went straight to the shipping containers!"
"Great minds think alike... Running into the building solo with just a melee weapon is mostly a one-way trip. In contrast, the cost-performance ratio of the shipping containers is so high!"
"Three large medical boxes, two Ascension boxes, and two weapon crates..."
"If he loots and leaves, no one can stop him!"
Just as Zhong Yi was confidently analyzing the situation for everyone, Lu Ze's route once again exceeded his expectations.
"What is going on? Junior Brother Lu did not loot a single thing, he even resisted the Ascension box??"
"I get it..."
"Junior Brother Lu must be planning to flank to the east side and tail them, catching them off guard!"
"But the team in the east building is the fully geared Qinghe and Shanhe Po... Their equipment is extraordinary..."
"..."
"What do you mean he ran to the deepest part of the shipping container and lay down prone!???"
...
...
Lu Ze did not pay much attention to the roster of star cultivators.
It was not the first or second time the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao had tried to screw him over.
Spawning at the number one spot by the west building, Lu Ze familiarly ran all the way from the number one spot outside the construction site to the shipping containers.
He very skillfully walked to the most classic Hualai camping spot and lay down.
This was the earliest and most classic body-snatching camping spot in Delta Force from his previous life.
Lu Ze still remembered that in the mid-stage of the game, as various videos of Hualai went viral across the internet, this spot became widely known.
How widely known was it?
Before entering this shipping container, many players would throw grenades if they had them, shoot arrows if they had them, or use fire if they had it...
But in this world, Lu Ze had just taken a quick look at the forums.
It seemed he had not yet seen any cultivators camping at this spot.
Which meant few people used it, and it was not popularized.
On the contrary, inside the Administration Palace, these cultivators had come up with all sorts of creative ways to camp.
Inside the shipping container was a large medical box and an Ascension box, both of which were high-tier resource points.
In other words, the best bait.
Thinking of this, Lu Ze very skillfully crouched in the corner, curling his body up into a ball like a maggot.
"So boring..."
Lu Ze yawned, his divine sense leaving the illusion.
At times like this in his previous life, he would either be scrolling through TikTok or playing Fight the Landlord.
"Maybe... I should go play a round of Legends of the Three Kingdoms?"
...
Heavenly Dao Livestream Channel.
Eight or nine out of ten viewers in the livestream channel had their perspectives locked onto Lu Ze.
At this moment, the bullet comments were all shocked by Lu Ze's actions.
[Wait what?? He lay down???]
[Something does not feel right...]
[Look at Old Demon Lu's position, an Ascension box on the left, a large medical box on the right... I have a bold idea...]
[Could it be he is going to act like an absolute animal???]
[He would not even have a chance to be an animal, right? Those in the Administration Palace have tier six gear!]
[Old Demon Lu is using tier three bullets, I am afraid he could empty his magazine and they would not even lose a drop of blood.]
[Hurry up and go to the shipping containers to give Old Demon Lu a surprise... I can not wait!!]
[It seems there are more than just those two sniping Old Demon Lu... I feel like it will not be long before Old Demon Lu goes bankrupt!]
...
Lingxiao Sect Viewing Area.
Wave after wave of intense gunfire occasionally rang out from the Administration Palace.
Zhong Yi watched the struggle inside the building with a serious expression.
"The equipment of Qinghe's team is too exaggerated... Tier six armor and dual guns, they obviously came prepared!"
Zhong Yi sighed. Seeing that victory was already assured for Qinghe's side, he switched the perspective back to Lu Ze, afraid of missing any brilliant plays by him.
Without any surprise, Lu Ze was still curled up in the corner, completely motionless.
"..."
Zhong Yi shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, unsure of how to commentate on this scene.
Beside him, Li Moran covered her forehead, not daring to look at the match screen anymore.
Even a few elders who did not play Immortal Abyss Operation much sensed that something was off.
No matter how you looked at it, it did not seem like he was doing anything honorable...
What kind of decent person does good deeds while lying prone on the ground!!
Lu Ze's intention to be an absolute animal was clear to everyone on the street!!
"Ahem, it is like this..."
Zhong Yi held it in for a long time before finally coming up with a reason, hurriedly smoothing things over for Lu Ze.
"Junior Brother Lu currently has limited funds, so he must win by using unconventional tactics..."
"Even if he used all his funds to buy guns, he would not necessarily be able to take down Qinghe's team head-on."
"Junior Brother Lu is not doing anything animalistic, this is called outsmarting the enemy..."
"As long as he can take down the first team and upgrade his equipment, he will definitely be a brave and daring good man of the Lingxiao Sect!"
Zhong Yi's explanation quickly gained the approval of the Lingxiao Sect disciples.
"Senior Brother Zhong makes sense!"
"That is True Legacy Lu, the first person in our Lingxiao Sect to attract the Holy Manifestation!"
"So what if he is being sniped? How could we, the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, be afraid of being targeted!?"
...
However, Zhong Yi himself was not optimistic about Lu Ze in this match.
All three people in Qinghe's team had tier six armor and dual guns. The blue spirit bullets in Lu Ze's pistol would not be able to break through their defense at all.
Even if they stood still and let Lu Ze shoot them, he would not be able to kill them.
Zhong Yi even somewhat hoped,
that Lu Ze would not manage to ambush anyone from Qinghe's team this round.
Returning empty-handed was still better than becoming a topic of conversation for someone else to brag and show off about.
Just as Zhong Yi was silently praying in his heart,
the gunfire from the Administration Palace gradually quieted down. The battle was decided in a flash, proving that the strength of Qinghe's team was not bad at all.
Soon.
Near the shipping containers, footsteps were getting closer and closer...
...
Inside Qinghe's illusion world.
"Have you guys checked the dog tags of these two teams in the building? Check them carefully, do not miss any!"
Qinghe shouted at the top of his lungs to the other two.
"Checked them all, Lu Ze's dog tag is not here!"
Shanhe Po carefully verified the names engraved on the dog tags again, a hint of regret in his tone.
After hearing that Lu Ze was participating in the match, their whole group had purposely fed away an entire night's worth of assets at the Ascension Base, just to find a chance to clash with Lu Ze.
After all, if word got out that they had solo-killed Lu Ze, how much face would that give them?
Anyway, with their skill level, advancing would be very difficult.
Even if they luckily advanced, it would be impossible for them to get the Heavenly Dao rewards. They figured they might as well try to leech off Lu Ze's fame to elevate their own status.
Unexpectedly, not only did the two of them run into Lu Ze right from the start, but they were also matched into the exact same team.
"Damn it, did this kid chicken out? Is he too scared to come to the Administration Palace?"
Qinghe cursed as he kicked a loot box on the ground.
"He probably didn't have any money at the start and went to do a hatchet run," Shanhe Po thought about it and sighed.
"A hatchet run? Then it's hopeless. He must have already reached the extraction point by now... Bah! What bad luck!"
Qinghe kicked open the side door at the back of the East Building.
"Where are you going?" Shanhe Po asked.
"What else is there to do? We lost so many assets yesterday, shouldn't we hurry up and earn them back? How much are the guns of these scrubs even worth?" Qinghe replied indignantly.
"That makes sense... Then I'll go with you."
Shanhe Po put down the scrub's loot box in his hands and followed closely behind.
"I'll loot from the east, you loot from the west."
Qinghe pointed to the other side, while he himself walked towards the richest shipping containers.
...
...
Inside Lu Ze's illusion world.
"Kill!"
"Dodge!"
Lu Ze was bored out of his mind playing Legends of the Three Kingdoms when he suddenly heard the rustling sound of footsteps near his ear.
His eyes lit up, and he instantly switched back to Operation Immortal Abyss.
"Special delivery!"

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.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it.
