Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 163 Immortal-grade Items! Why is he so close to the character?

She felt more admiration for Senior Shen.

The other person was like a mountain, giving her a great sense of security.

Tu Miaoling dared not even think about becoming a Daoist partner; that would be a great disrespect to Senior Shen!

However, she still held onto a hope that Senior Shen would stay by her side whenever he was lucid.

'Besides, Senior Shen is so old, why would he care about matters of love and romance? Even if he had a Daoist partner, they would probably be nothing but dust by now…'

Thinking of this, Tu Miaoling subconsciously tightened her grip on the invitation card in her hand:

'Why should I think about these things...'

For some reason, the thought of her senior having a Daoist partner made her very irritable.

Fortunately, the senior's partner was a fleeting memory and wouldn't suddenly reappear and steal him away.

Composing herself, Tu Miaoling looked down at the pendant and smiled brightly:

"Senior, shall we set off now?"

She was really looking forward to participating in this kind of event with her seniors for the first time!

"Alright, let's go." Shen Yun rubbed his hands together enthusiastically.

"Still 96 short! I have to recharge to VIP level 6 this time!"

At the same time, a notification appeared before his eyes:

[Friendly Reminder: In 10 seconds, players will be teleported to the [Play Together Activity] area. No need to bring your phone; your game projection will be synchronized, allowing you to continue playing in the activity area.]

This event will help players increase their affinity with their characters, so please take advantage of the opportunity. (Recharging will have an even better effect!)

[Note: After entering the event area, players' cultivation levels are sealed, they cannot use magic weapons, and can only move based on their physical constitution.]

"Xian'er, I'm going to log into the game and play for a bit. It might take a few hours." Shen Yun patted Xian'er's head.

"Okay, Brother Yun, go ahead. I'm going to cultivate in my space." Bai Xian'er was very obedient and automatically entered the Beast Taming Space.

A moment later, Shen Yun vanished from the room in a flash...

……

Welcome, cultivator Tu Miaoling, to the event area: Flying Flower Swing Zone.

[Friendly Reminder: As a personal protection mechanism, cultivators are automatically equipped with a light veil to conceal their appearance.]

This is a vast area.

On the vast lawn, petals drifted in the wind, a sight that was truly delightful.

'The scenery here is quite nice...' Tu Miaoling, who had just been teleported, curiously looked around at the beautiful scene.

In particular, there was a towering tree tens of thousands of feet tall in front of them, its body radiating precious light and shrouded in mist, which was extremely extraordinary.

But the next moment!

When a line of information lit up on the ancient tree, both she and the newly teleported cultivators gasped in astonishment:

"hiss!!"

"It's actually a celestial tree?!"

"My God! Are there really immortals in this world?!"

【Flying Flower Immortal Tree: A wondrous tree from the celestial realm.】

[Flying Flower Swing Activity Details: Both participants sit on the swing of the Flying Flower Tree. The team that swings down the most leaves globally will receive a Flying Flower Fairy Leaf. (Reward Restriction: Minimum of 100 leaves must be swung down. Even if you reach the top spot globally, it will be invalid if you swing down fewer than 100 leaves.)]

[Flying Flower Immortal Leaf: After consumption, it greatly enhances a cultivator's comprehension, their most valuable aptitude! (Can be upgraded)]

[Note: There are no rewards for playing with someone else; you will only provide assistance...]

'A celestial treasure right from the start! And it's even upgradeable…' Completely shocked, Tu Miaoling swallowed hard, cautiously observing the veiled cultivators around her.

'Thankfully, there's a protection mechanism; otherwise, if they had taken action, it would have been a bloodbath!'

At this time, because she was a mortal and her legs were weak, she could only sit on the lawn.

Looking at all the able-bodied people around her, she pulled her legs closer together to prevent them from tripping over her.

'From now on, I can walk healthily like them...'

She has regained sensation in her lower body, but she still cannot walk.

'I hope I won't cause any trouble for you, senior...' Tu Miaoling, suddenly feeling a little scared, gripped her skirt tightly.

She was afraid that being a useless person would hinder her seniors' activities.

Although there are no rewards for the companions, if the senior is interested in winning a prize but is limited by her mobility, she may inevitably have some thoughts.

'No, senior is a master! But...but this is a celestial treasure...'

Tu Miaoling fell into self-doubt, and even the courage to look up and wait for Shen Yun to appear seemed to have diminished a lot. She just kept her head down silently.

Welcome player Shen Yun to the event area: Flying Flower Swing Zone.

As soon as Shen Yun appeared, a notification sounded in his mind:

[Recharge Gameplay: Swing on the ancient tree with your bound character. You can recharge to bombard the tree, causing it to shake and shed leaves. Recharge amounts range from a minimum of 1 cent to a maximum of 1.]

[Friendly Reminder: For personal safety protection, all players are in a hidden state and will not be detected by anyone other than the bound character, such as other cultivators and players present.]

[Important Note: This is a safe zone. Combat is prohibited. Violators will be held responsible for the consequences!]

'As expected, I can't see any other players...' Shen Yun glanced around and could only see the otherworldly cultivators. There were no other players around, obviously they were all invisible like him.

That didn't matter to him; being able to spend money was the key!

Seeing Tu Miaoling sitting on the ground with her head down, Shen Yun smiled and squatted down:

"What's wrong, Miaoling? Are you in a bad mood?"

"No...no." Tu Miaoling tried to remain calm, looking up at him with a slightly embarrassed tone.

"Miaoling just feels that her legs are inconvenient, so she's a bit... reserved."

"It's nothing, maybe you'll be fine after the next treatment!" Shen Yun turned around: "Come on, I'll carry you over."

Tu Miaoling pursed her lips, knowing that this was the only way to get through, so she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his neck:

"Thank you for your trouble, senior."

"It's nothing." Shen Yun stood up, weighed her in his hand, and walked towards the big tree in front of him with a smile:

"You're really light."

Tu Miaoling didn't reply, but instead looked intently at his profile and asked in a low voice:

"Senior, the reward is a celestial treasure... I... I might become a burden to you."

"So that's what you were worried about? I knew it why you suddenly seemed so down." Shen Yun's tone was amused.

"Frankly speaking, this reward is only for you. As someone who plays with you, I don't get any. Your worries are unnecessary. Of course, I will do my best to help you get it."

Clearly, Shen Yun was being modest.

He was determined to get the divine item!

Seeing that his face showed no impatience but genuine affection, Tu Miaoling instinctively hugged his neck tightly and buried her face in his red hair:

"Thank you, senior."

At this moment, Tu Miaoling's bewildered heart finally calmed down.

She was definitely overthinking it; the senior was still as kind as ever.

And the senior's scent was so pleasant.

'Speaking of which, how come you suddenly have a body, senior?' Tu Miaoling thought to herself, 'It might be a special setting for entering this place...'

'Damn it! How dare this kid carry a girl on his back!' Players can see cultivators, so when they saw Tu Miaoling being carried on someone's back, with a shy look in her eyes, the surrounding players were all incredibly jealous.

Because their affinity with the character is only around 60, it's impossible for them to even hold hands, let alone carry each other on their backs.

'He must have hooked up with some naive, innocent girl who's been fooled by him!'

'Why is he so good at picking up girls?! Why is my virtual character so hard to romance?!'
