Chapter 4: He Has Too Many Dao Companions

“New boyfriend?!” The people around him were also surprised.

“Senior, are you sure you’re not saying it in a fit of rage? You and Jiang Cheng have been dating for half a year…”

“Don’t mention him anymore. I’m no longer related to him.” Xia Qiushui interrupted him angrily.

“Alright…” Seeing that Xia Qiushui was so angry and had such a strong aura, the junior did not dare to speak anymore.

“You’ve never come into contact with everyone cultivating, so you’re not strong. Now, you need to be careful not to encounter those cultivators from evil and demonic paths, such as ghost cultivators like Jiang Cheng,” Xia Qiushui said with a serious expression.

“Senior Jiang is actually a ghost cultivator?” They looked at each other in surprise.

After all, the cultivation methods of those ghost cultivators were all very strange. Although their cultivation speed was extremely fast, there was no lack of killing and refining the soul. It was fine in the game as there was no burden to killing people. However, in reality, it was not as simple as just data. It was a genuine crime. Therefore, one had to be cautious when choosing. They chose the ordinary cultivation path.

“Do you play this game too?”

“What game?” Qin Mu played dumb.

“The National Cultivation World, which is the scene that flashed through our minds a few hours ago.”

“I… played for a period of time.” Qin Mu nodded pretentiously, indicating that he had interacted with him before.

However, who would have thought that not only had he played it before, but he had also survived until the end?

He was the last player in this game.

“How’s your strength?”

For some reason, when Xia Qiushui spoke to Qin Mu, the seriousness on her face melted and turned into a faint smile, as if there was some kind of magic. This might not even be noticed by Xia Qiushui herself.

“It should be enough to protect myself.”

Qin Mu pretended to think for a long time before giving this answer.

He did not want to expose his strength for the time being. One had to know that the server was not only limited to their Great Xia. There were other countries overseas. Although they had closed it long ago, who knew if there was someone who continued playing until the end while spending money on it? He had to assess the situation first. It was foolproof.

Xia Qiushui turned to the surrounding people and her expression became serious again, “It’s fine as long as you can protect yourself. According to what I know, when I left the game, it was also the time when a large number of players left the game. Seventy percent of the players were below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and twenty percent were between the Golden Immortal Realm and the Loose Immortal Realm. Most of them were low-paying players, and only the last ten percent were high-paying players. Therefore, as long as you are an immortal, you can protect yourself. My Golden Immortal Realm strength should also be enough to protect myself.”

Qin Mu didn’t expect her to be so meticulous that she could deduce the player distribution.

“Senior, you’re actually at the Golden Immortal Realm.” A junior had a look of admiration. She was only a tiny Golden Core cultivator and was the kind who would barely go online once a week.

“When I left the game, the number one in the national server had already reached the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm. Golden Immortals are nothing. At most, they are above average.” Xia Qiushui shook her head, indicating that she was not strong.

Just as they were chatting, a mechanical voice flashed through their minds.

[Dao Companion Ranking has been materialized.]

An image appeared in everyone’s minds.

The scene was a list. It was grand, exquisite, and shiny. The words ‘Dao Companion Ranking’ appeared in the middle.

Xia Qiushui glanced at the Dao Companion Ranking and was stunned. Her eyes stared at a name on it.

“How can it be him?” Xia Qiushui could not believe her eyes.

At the first line of the Dao Companion Ranking, a golden name shone. It was Immortal Emperor Qin Ming.

The others clearly saw it too and shouted excitedly.

“Who is this Immortal Emperor Qin Ming? His Dao Companion intimacy value is actually 100 million?”

“That’s right, he left second place behind by… I’ll count… one… one thousand times the difference!”

Hearing their shock, Qin Mu smiled helplessly. He originally wanted to hide it, but he didn’t expect this damned system to expose him. Fortunately, it was only a Dao Companion Ranking.

Wait… would the other rankings also appear later?

If that was the case, wouldn’t he be exposed to the world? It would be as if he was naked!

“Senior, look! Your name is also on the board!”

A junior carefully discovered that the series of Dao Companions behind Immortal Emperor Qin Ming’s name actually had her previous ID. She had added Xia Qiushui as a friend and naturally knew her game character’s name.

“Really! This Immortal Emperor Qin Ming actually has so many Dao Companions. No wonder he’s so high.” A junior gasped.

“Really! This is too much…”

On the Golden Ranking Board, there were ten to twenty names behind Immortal Emperor Qin Ming’s name! Furthermore, all of them had the titles of fairy, saintess, and empress. They were all Qin Mu’s Dao Companions!

Xia Qiushui had already seen her name, but she did not want to say it. She looked at the Dao Companion Ranking and had an inexplicable feeling.

“It’s really strange. Why didn’t these fairies and saintesses remove their Dao Companion state with him?” A junior asked.

“There’s no way to remove it,” Xia Qiushui said indifferently.

The Dao Companion System did not specify that a person could only find one Dao Companion. Usually, when they discovered that their Dao Companion had found a second Dao Companion, the player would naturally remove the original Dao Companion state. However, the game had already been closed. How could the player remove it in reality? There was no way to remove it, which meant that Xia Qiushui had already become Immortal Emperor Qin Ming’s Dao Companion forever.

“Sigh, it’s fine. It’s just a board. It doesn’t mean anything. Instead, it’s this Immortal Emperor Qin Ming. Bah! He’s really a scumbag. He actually found so many Dao Companions.”

“That’s right. He’s too detestable. This person must be an evil bastard!”

Qin Mu’s face turned green when he heard that. He cursed, “How can you blame me? I was so lonely in the game alone. Can’t I enjoy some privileges?”

“Forget it, stop cursing. I didn’t lose anything.” Xia Qiushui persuaded, signaling them to stop cursing.

Qin Mu fell silent after hearing this. He would definitely not tell Xia Qiushui his identity. In their eyes, Immortal Emperor Qin Ming had already become a pervert who committed all sorts of evil.

“When did Senior play this game? How did you know this Immortal Emperor Qin Ming?”

At this point, Qin Mu immediately became alert. He listened especially carefully. He also wanted to know which one of the many Dao Companions the other party was.

Xia Qiushui tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled faintly.

“That was a few years ago. At that time, I had just graduated from high school, so I came into contact with this game earlier and spent a lot of money. This Immortal Emperor Qin Ming had yet to change his name back then. His name was Qin Ming Mountain Sea Moon. Every day, he would run to the entrance of our sect and give me flowers. He said that he wanted to become my Dao Companion. At first, he was always thrown out by me. Sometimes, he was even chased away by other players in the sect. It’s funny just thinking about it, but he would always appear in the sect persistently. In addition, that period of time was indeed boring, so I knew about him.”

“He was really infatuated at first. Sigh, what a pity…” The junior said enviously.

When Qin Mu heard these experiences, it was as if they were still vivid in his mind. He could not be more familiar with them.

He asked uncontrollably, “Are you Fairy Luo Xia?”

“Yes, I’m Fairy Luo Xia.” Xia Qiushui nodded as if she didn’t realize anything. She even stuck out her tongue at Qin Mu like a child whose secret had been discovered.

Qin Mu looked at the girl who was smiling at him and suddenly felt that everything had become dreamlike.
