Chapter 225 – Niu Naitang’s Path of Chess Cultivation

Lin Jichen's crisis was far from over.

As he left the city, a large number of players continued to follow him.

Everyone was just waiting for Lin Jichen to step out. They couldn't make a move inside the city, but surely they could outside.

With Lin Jichen's location exposed, players from other areas were flocking to Fengqu City, all aiming to execute him and seize the Heavenly Grade Secret Technique.

Seeing Lin Jichen walk out of the city gate, all the players' eyes gleamed with greed, sharpening their weapons.

But as soon as Lin Jichen stepped out, he summoned his flying sword, soared into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! Where's the healer? Use the forbidden flight skill!"

The players shouted.

The healers finally realized and tried to cast the forbidden flight skill to restrict Lin Jichen's flight.

But Lin Jichen was already long gone.

All that was left was a large group of players staring blankly, with some unwilling to give up, immediately sprinting in the direction Lin Jichen had flown.

Several experts also took to the sky, following Lin Jichen's direction at high speed.

Before long, the game announcement publicly revealed Lin Jichen's location.

However, Lin Jichen never stayed in one place. By the time the players arrived, they found nothing.

Far away from Fengqu City, Lin Jichen smiled confidently.

He thought, in Tale of Immortal, no player could keep up with him.

Even those who initially followed him with Sword Flight were quickly left far behind.

He had a Mysterious Grade Sword Flight skill, which tripled his speed. With his base speed of 380, Lin Jichen could reach 1140 in flight.

This speed was even faster than a commercial airplane in the real world.

Soon, there was no one in sight behind Lin Jichen. He casually changed direction, eating elixirs to restore his mana while continuing to fly.

Today's crisis should be considered averted. With the vast map of Tale of Immortal, as long as he didn't fly to crowded places and expose his location, no one would know where he was.

As long as he left early before the system revealed his location the next day, he would be fine.

For now, he could land anywhere, find a secluded forest, log off, and sleep without any problem.

He planned to use these seven days to visit the Beast Forest, a place known for farming a large number of pet eggs.

He also planned to visit the Sword Pavilion to investigate the reason for its disconnection.

After flying for several hours, he was still far from his destination, and it was getting dark.

Lin Jichen found a place to hide and logged off.

Before logging off, he didn't forget to wear his gaming ring, fearing a sneak attack.

Exiting the game, Lin Jichen had spent several days in Tale of Immortal, and Ren Lan had gotten used to it.

These days, she had been going out to exercise and cooking for herself.

But every time she asked Niu Naitang to come down for a meal, she refused, which made her feel very frustrated.

When Lin Jichen logged off, he saw her about to cook.

"Wait, let me do it." Lin Jichen hurried over to take over the cooking.

Although his cooking wasn't particularly great, he could at least make some simple home-cooked dishes.

If Ren Lan cooked, he feared it would be like Leng Feiyan's cooking, leaving him half-dead after eating.

In the game, he could restore his health with potions.

In reality, there was no such function, and he might end up in the hospital for a month.

"I wanted you to try my cooking," Ren Lan said regretfully.

Lin Jichen broke out in a cold sweat and said, "No need, no need."

Before long, Lin Jichen had prepared a few home-cooked dishes. Just as they were about to sit down to eat, there was a knock on the door.

Ren Lan went to open the door and saw Niu Naitang standing there with a hungry look on her face.

"Brother Lin is out?"

Ren Lan was puzzled, "How did you know he was out? Did you install a camera in our room?"

Niu Naitang pointed to the balcony and said, "Tang Tang smelled the aroma of cooking from the balcony. It couldn't be you, so it must be Brother Lin who came out of the game."

Ren Lan and Lin Jichen couldn't help but laugh. This little girl had a keen nose.

"How do you always know it's me cooking?" Ren Lan still couldn't believe it.

"Because every time you cook, there's a strong burnt smell. It must be you, Sister Ren," Niu Naitang analyzed logically.

Ren Lan covered her face, feeling utterly embarrassed.

The three of them gathered in the house to eat.

"Brother Lin, my aunt is going to the Capital City tomorrow. Can I stay at your place for a couple of days? I'm scared to sleep alone at night," Niu Naitang asked expectantly.

Lin Jichen had already promised Qin Xiaowei to take care of Niu Naitang, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, you can share a room with Sister Ren, okay?"

Ren Lan looked at her mischievously and said, "If you sleep with me, I'll bully you."

Niu Naitang's face fell, and she said timidly, "Can I not sleep with Sister Ren? She'll bully me... I want to sleep with Brother Lin."

Lin Jichen quickly coughed a few times. Sleeping with a little girl? He had no experience with that.

Before he could speak, Ren Lan rejected the idea for him.

"No way! You little girl, not only are you a member of the appearance club, but you're also precocious. Want to sleep with Brother Lin? No way. Brother Lin will sleep with his wife in the future!"

Ren Lan said righteously, her tone firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Don't get the wrong idea, she was just looking out for Little Lin's future wife! Preventing Little Lin from going astray, that's all, yes, that's it.

Niu Naitang had no choice but to give up and obediently agreed to sleep with Ren Lan.

"By the way, Tang Tang, have you played Tale of Immortal these past few days?" Lin Jichen asked.

Niu Naitang nodded and said, "Yes, but the game isn't fun."

"Hmm? Why?" Lin Jichen asked, puzzled.

Niu Naitang pouted and said, "The old man in the novice village isn't good at chess. There's a chess hall, and the hall master has lost to me dozens of times but still insists on playing chess with me. He said if I beat him a hundred times, he'll send me to a place with great chess players."

Lin Jichen felt the plot was familiar.

Wait, chess... chess cultivator!!!

Lin Jichen suddenly remembered. In his previous life, Tale of Immortal also had chess masters like Niu Naitang. They took a completely different path in the game.

They became chess cultivators!

Chess cultivators used chess as their path, focusing on honing their chess skills and integrating their cultivation into the chess pieces.

Tale of Immortal had a Chess Sect, specifically for training chess cultivators.

Chess cultivators generally weren't strong in combat, but their skills were bizarre and varied, full of control abilities, making them hard to defend against. They were a type of auxiliary cultivator.

Entering the path of a chess cultivator was extremely difficult, requiring one to find the chess hall in the novice village and defeat the hall master a hundred times.

The hall master's level was no joke, at least a provincial master level. To beat them a hundred times, one needed to be among the top ten in the country.
