MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Panda Novel

“About slightly more than a month?” Wang Yu thought about it for a while before answering. Ever since Wang Yu started playing the game, his previous schedule of practising martial arts was basically disrupted. In the beginning, Wang Yu was still insistent of practising three times a day. As he started playing for longer periods of time, even his rest time was slightly disrupted, let alone martial arts practice.

“I can’t believe you haven’t practiced in a month. I wonder if your kungfu worsened?” a worried Mu Zixian replied.

Kungfu was similar to piano in a sense that once you stopped practising, it would be very easy to lose touch. Wang Yu hadn’t practice in a month so he should logically have worsened.

Due to the fact that Mu Zixian and Wang Yu spent all day and night together, she had some ideas of Wang Yu’s kungfu. However, Wang Yu’s standard was too high so she was still unable to tell if Wang Yu truly improved.

“What do you think?” Wang Yu smiled.

“I think I shouldn’t let you play the game at all…” Mu Zixian started blaming herself. It was hard to form a good habit but easy to be addicted to something bad. One month of addiction would be enough to destroy a person.

“Haha!” Wang Yu laughed as he replied, “I’ve never felt this good about my kungfu!”

“What do you mean?” Mu Zi Xian was slightly confused.

“What I mean is that I’ve entered a new realm again,” Wang Yu replied in an excited tone.

Mu Zi Xian questioned, “Didn’t you not train for over a month?”

“Hehe!” Wang Yu chuckled again. “It is true that I haven’t practice for over a month but I’ve not given up on my kungfu.”

“Huh? How do you do that?” The more Mu Zi Xian listened, the more confused she got. Wang Yu had been playing the game so what did he mean?

“I have to thank this game for this. Throughout these few months, I’ve had my breakthrough unknowingly,” an elated Wang Yu said.

“Thank the game?” Mu Zi Xian suddenly understood more.

“Yes, indeed. If I haven’t been fighting every day in the game, I really don’t know how long I will need to improve given my current cultivation level.” Wang Yu couldn’t stop smiling.

That’s right. Wang Yu’s current cultivation level in terms of martial arts was still among one of the top few masters. Among his generation of martial artists, no one even comes close to him.

Once a person reached a realm like his, it would be extremely difficult to further improve.

Kungfu had always been a killing technique. There was always a limit to how talented or hardworking a martial artist could be. The only way to further improve would be to fight constantly.

Of course, it wouldn’t be meaningful to fight and bully people weaker than him. A person of Wang Yu’s standard had to find someone stronger than him if he wanted to break through.

However, there weren’t many people in this world with higher cultivation level than Wang Yu. Even if there were, none of these experts would waste their time to fight or entertain Wang Yu. After all, winning wouldn’t bring them much glory and losing would be embarrassing to them…

Moreover, their country had become a lawful society where fighting wouldn’t be as common as before. There were no longer many opportunities for martial artists to improve themselves through fighting. This was also why there was no room for kungfu in the society.

However, it was different in <<REBIRTH because it was a good simulation. Everyone appeared to be in a completely new world which was many times greater than Wang Yu’s current bubble.

Moreover, there were countless powerful monsters and NPC in this game. Every time Wang Yu fought, he would have some sort of enlightenment. Before this, Wang Yu was struggling to improve his cultivation for quite some time but after all the fights in the game, Wang Yu managed to push aside all clouds and mists. He entered a brand new realm in his world of martial arts. This was something Wang Yu dared not think about in the past.

Hearing Wang Yu’s words, Mu Zi Xian was extremely pleased. “Really? So are you saying that the more you play this game in the future, the faster your kungfu will grow?”

“That is not true too…” Wang Yu smiled. “After all, this game is merely a simulation. Regardless of how high the realm I am in, if my body’s inner essence cannot keep up, it would be for nothing.”

The reason for the stall in Wang Yu’s cultivation level was because he did not have enough enlightenment for his kungfu. Even though the game could increase the level of enlightenment, the most important asset for a martial artist was still his body. The coordination between the body and flesh had to be perfect in order for him to execute every move accurately.

If Wang Yu were to play this game about ten years ago, his future in martial arts would have been over.

“Therefore, I will have to return to my physical training schedule in the future.” Wang Yu clenched his fist.

In the past, Wang Yu didn’t emphasise on training his body because of the stagnation in his realm. Even if he continued to train his body, he would only be increasing the burden on his body. Additionally, he was so poor that he was struggling to feed himself, let alone train his body.

“Isn’t the physical training going to cost a lot of money?” Mu Zi Xian asked.

As for this legendary physical training, Mu Zi Xian had heard Wang Yu mentioned about the extremely high cost of it.

“En, I will require specialised equipment and a master masseur. The expense is going to be quite a lot…” Wang Yu said faintly.

“…” Mu Zi Xian paused for a moment before asking, “What is the rough estimate? I can start preparing for it.”

“You need not ask about this… To be honest, I have no idea as well.” Wang Yu shook his hand and continued, “Moreover, I don’t think we can fetch much with this small house of ours…”

“…” Mu Zi Xian was speechless… She realised that even though they could earn some money through the game, they were still unable to make ends meet when they really needed money.

Mu Zi Xian thought for a while before responding, “What about Little Nuo’s place…”

“Dear, I will figure out a way by myself. You don’t have to talk about this anymore.” Before Mu Zi Xian could finish her sentence, Wang Yu stopped her. He was still unclear of the exact relationship among the third of them so wouldn’t he be inviting troubles by asking Yang Nuo?

“But…”

“No need for buts. We finally got some time to ourselves so shall we go shopping?” Wang Yu changed the topic.

“Alright! It has been a long time since we went shopping.”

Indeed, women cannot say no to shopping so when Wang Yu suggested this idea, Mu Zi Xian immediately agreed.

“En, let me go and wash up first…” After saying that, Wang Yu wiped off his sweat as he entered the toilet.

After the two of them packed up their room and was about to leave the house, they saw Li Xue and the others touching up their makeup. They looked as though they were about to leave the house too.

Mu Zi Xian greeted them enthusiastically, “Aiya, Little Xue, are you going shopping too?”

“Yes, Auntie Xian, we are.” Four of them replied with lots of energy.

“You can call me Sister Xian, calling me Auntie Xian makes me feel old. Shall we go shopping together?” Mu Zi Xian invited them.

“… What??”

Hearing Mu Zi Xian’s words, Wang Yu’s eyes opened wide as his head started hurting… Shopping with one woman is considered blessed while shopping with two or more women is embarrassing.

“This… Wouldn’t we be disturbing your alone time? We have something else to do too.”

The four women knew how to get on in the world so when they saw Wang Yu rolled his eyes, they knew they shouldn’t join in. This was why they rejected Mu Zi Xian quickly.

Mu Zi Xian was merely asking out of courtesy so when the four women rejected her invitation, she simply held onto Wang Yu and walked out.
