I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

Chapter 042 Xuan Yuan Invasion Forum

"Yes, young master," Da Shan said excitedly.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were also excited upon hearing this.

Previously, the young master had mentioned sending Dashan to a martial arts school to train, and now he has brought it up again, even mentioning cultivation.

This means that the young master still remembers this matter and has not forgotten it.

It seems that before long, their son, Dashan, will be able to practice martial arts, or even cultivate immortality.

How could they not be excited?

Zhou Xiaoya lowered her head, glanced at her legs, and whispered, "Second Brother, can I cultivate immortality like this?"

She had always felt inferior because of her limp.

Even now, because her second brother has become more capable, and because Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, and Dashan have been treating her with great respect these days, her inferiority complex has lessened considerably, but deep down she still feels inferior.

Zhou Yunshen reached out and rubbed her head, saying softly, "It's okay. There are many medicines in this world that can treat leg ailments. Your leg will recover soon, and then you'll be able to walk and run like a normal person."

"Mmm." Zhou Xiaoya nodded gently, her eyes full of anticipation and longing.

When her second brother said he would treat her leg ailment, she just listened without really having any hope.

Now, as one incredible thing after another happens to her second brother, she is increasingly believing what he says.

After finishing the meal, Zhou Yunshen took out some gold leaves from his pocket and gave them to Zhou Xiaoya, asking her to be in charge of the family's expenses. Then he got up and left the living room.

Zhou Yunshen had two reasons for entrusting the money to Zhou Xiaoya: first, to give Zhou Xiaoya something to do; and second, to improve Zhou Xiaoya's status at home and reduce her feelings of inferiority.

Whether it's testing Zhou Xiaoya and Dashan's spiritual roots and sending them to cultivate, or treating Zhou Xiaoya's leg ailment, Zhou Yunshen plans to postpone it until after he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage.

After all, only after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage will he truly have some status in this world.

Now, if he wants to get these things done, he needs to leverage the Chen family's influence.

Deep down, he didn't want to bother Chen Xin'an with such a small matter.

Back in his room, Zhou Yunshen lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

After he has rested, he still needs to continue his cultivation.

In the real world, Zhou Yunshen got out of bed, tore open a loaf of bread, and started eating.

While eating bread, he picked up his new phone and habitually opened the game forum for "Xuan Yuan Invasion".

Then he saw a pinned post.

The title of this post is: In order to maintain social stability, starting today, discussions of topics such as "Xuan Yuan Invasion" and "Doomsday" are prohibited on all major online platforms.

Zhou Yunshen looked at the post and thought to himself, "The government has finally taken action."

Soon, he saw another pinned post, titled: "Xuan Yuan Invasion Forum App Officially Released, Welcome to Download and Experience."

Looking at this post, Zhou Yun thought to himself, 'It seems the government is preparing to implement unified management of the players.'

Zhou Yunshen did not show much surprise on his face.

Because this was within his expectations.

If he were a government official, he would have chosen to do the same.

After all, the world will end in three years. From the government's perspective, they will definitely need to concentrate their efforts to fight against this apocalypse. And to concentrate their efforts, they will definitely need to manage the players in a unified manner.

If players are not managed in a unified manner, they will be scattered and fight their own battles. In this case, how can they concentrate their strength to fight against the apocalypse?

I wonder how the government will manage the players next...

These two suddenly appearing pinned posts were like two depth charges, causing the entire forum to boil over.

Some people expressed understanding and support for the government's decision, saying that the government should do this, because only by doing so can humanity have hope when facing the end of the world three years from now.

Some people, on the other hand, shouted for freedom of speech and personal freedom, feeling that the government was interfering too much.

These two viewpoints clashed fiercely on the forum.

Zhou Yunshen watched these people argue fiercely. At first, he found it quite interesting, but he quickly grew bored.

Now that the matter is settled, what's the point of arguing anymore?

Perhaps three years later, the player will have gained the power he cultivated in the game world, becoming a powerful cultivator who can fly and move freely, ignore the government in the real world, and even destroy the government institutions of the entire world with a flick of his finger.

However, the government remains an unshakeable behemoth for players.

Currently, players are not qualified to challenge the government; all they can do is obey.

Besides, the two are not in any opposing relationship.

As long as the government doesn't go too far, a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship might be formed between the two.

Zhou Yunshen clicked on the first pinned post and began to read it carefully.

After reading it, he clicked on the second pinned post and began to read it carefully.

As he watched, he let out a soft breath, his expression relaxing slightly. He murmured, "Players who pass real-name authentication and game authentication can receive a monthly living allowance of 10,000 yuan. That's not bad. In this way, some working people who rely on odd jobs to make ends meet can quit their jobs and focus on playing games."

In this world, many young people carry the heavy burden of a family, with elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. Even if they realize the unusual nature of this game, they can only grit their teeth and continue working, and dare not resign as decisively as he did.

Because once you quit your job, your family will have no source of income, and everyone will go hungry.

It's estimated that some players who sell skill manuals or personal spirit treasures are in this situation.

For these players, a monthly living allowance of 10,000 yuan is truly a lifesaver.

Regarding the provision of living allowances, Zhou Yunshen felt that the government had done the right thing and there was nothing wrong with it.

After reading the post, Zhou Yunshen clicked the link in the post and downloaded the app called "Xuanyuan Invasion Forum".

After downloading, click "Start".

Zhou Yunshen discovered that the app could not be accessed by a guest; registration was required.

The registration process is also quite complicated. You need to provide your real name, phone number, ID card information, and home address, and you also need to undergo facial recognition. After these verifications are completed, the next step is game authentication.

The app indicates that the government will send dedicated staff to verify the player's identity on-site within 24 hours.
