At that moment, Sebastian's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from the delivery person. The speed of delivery from this game company was indeed impressive. "Mr. Sebastian, we've already arrived downstairs at your place. Should we bring everything up?" "Hold on a moment, let me check," Sebastian replied. Sebastian immediately asked Isabella, "I bought a gaming pod for you. Are you planning to put it in your dorm room or at your home?" "Ah? A gaming pod? You bought it for me? Where did you get so much money?" Isabella was puzzled. "I'll tell you in a bit, but for now, please let me know where you want it so I can have the delivery person arrange accordingly." "My school dorm can't accommodate it, and I can't put it at my home either. If I put it at my home, my dad will definitely scold me. Just put it in your place; after all, there's a room that belongs to me," Isabella suggested. Sebastian nodded and instructed the delivery person to bring both pods up. S
Heavenly Sword Sect, the main hall of the Sword Palace. Sebastian stood in the hall, feeling somewhat nervous. Soon, Leng Feiyan appeared in the hall out of thin air and sat at the head of the hall. When she first saw Sebastian, she appeared slightly surprised. "Are you about to break through?" Her voice was as clear as a mountain stream, cold yet with a hint of coolness. Even though Sebastian had heard her voice before, he still felt a bit uneasy, remembering the scene from yesterday. "Reporting to Master, yes." As soon as Sebastian logged in, his cultivation had already reached 500/500. However, he was stuck at the bottleneck of the early Qi Refining stage because each minor stage required specific elixirs for a breakthrough. "Not bad. Your talent is indeed the best I've ever seen." Leng Feiyan's expression finally softened a bit. Perhaps it was because she didn't give Sebastian a warm welcome when he arrived yesterday. "Now, you need a Concentrating Qi Pill to help you bre
"Great handsome expert!" Behind, a female voice suddenly sounded. Many male players turned around, self-consciously guessing if the other person was calling them. Including Sebastian... Of course, the other person was indeed calling him. "Lisa , it's really him!" Two female players dressed in the attire of the Sword Sect's outer hall walked towards Sebastian. Sebastian was a bit surprised to encounter Lisa here. He hadn't expected to meet her at the Heavenly Sword Sect. However, he didn't have any other thoughts about it. He and Lisa were just business partners – he sold, she paid. Their relationship was very straightforward. Lisa had anticipated the encounter with Sebastian, as she had seen Sebastian's letters, which were from the Sword Sect. "Why are you here at the Heavenly Sword Sect?" Sebastian asked with some curiosity. Lisa responded, "Is the Heavenly Sword Sect only for men?" "Of course not, I was just asking casually." Lisa went on to explain, "Our Moonshadow Guil
The inner hall disciples held a much higher status and position within the sect than the outer hall and branch hall disciples. No matter how high the cultivation of an outer hall disciple, it wouldn't hold any weight in front of an inner hall disciple. Even branch hall disciples had to show utmost respect when facing inner hall disciples. Fortunately, Sebastian was unaware of whether he was an inner hall or even the sect leader's personal disciple; otherwise, they might have treated him like a master. Despite the kind advice from the NPC disciple, Sebastian remained resolute. "bro, I appreciate your concern. Just register the task." "Alright, then. I can only wish you success with the mission and to be careful." "Thank you." After retrieving the task token, Sebastian thanked them briefly and left. Exiting the sect's main gate, Sebastian headed straight for the teleportation array. Each use of the sect's teleportation array required the payment of spirit stones, and the amount
This man seems to be a walking encyclopedia, and no news or event seems to escape his attention. And don't think that these stories are made up by this storyteller; they are all true! This person is an NPC news merchant in "Wild Valley World," similar to a real-life journalist. He is well-informed about various recent events and comes to the main city's largest tavern every day to share stories and earn rewards. Sebastian came here to find information about Zhang Hai's murder. He patiently listens to the news and waits for the right moment. "A Lian's Art School recently produced an astonishing young talent, a young painter who can draw intricate landscapes using just his fingers. His works have taken the art world by storm." "This talented young painter's name is Benjimin. He has exhibited his paintings at several prestigious art galleries." "Four Mythological Symbols Temple's master, recently broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, further strengthening the temple's power." "A
Walking out of Phoenix Melody City, Jacket headed towards the mountains outside the city. The night was deep, and only the moonlight above the sky cast a faint glow. The forest was tranquil, and as Jacket walked, he felt that something was amiss. He immediately quickened his pace. However, no matter how fast he walked, footsteps continued to follow from behind, getting closer. Jacket had to stop, standing in the woods, summoning his Thunder Blade and turning back alertly, saying, "Who's there?" From behind the trees, Sebastian emerged. "The one who's after your life." Seeing Sebastian in the attire of Heavenly Sword Sect, Jacket's heart pounded with anxiety. He thought that Heavenly Sword Sect had sent a large group of people to chase and kill him. But looking around, Jacket realized that there was only Sebastian. And he sensed that the opponent was only a Qi Refining beginner. "So, you're just a little rookie. You think being a disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect gives you the
Jacket had attempted a few counterattacks, but Sebastian couldn't be bothered to evade. The sword strikes landed on him without any reaction. Jacket's will to fight had dwindled, and he no longer wanted to engage with Sebastian. After blocking another one of Sebastian's strikes with his sword, Jacket immediately used a body movement technique. "Fog-Piercing Dash!" Jacket's speed abruptly increased, and he dashed several meters away before quickly retreating further. "Running? You're definitely not going to escape," Sebastian said. Sebastian also executed a body movement technique, Phantom Step. A blur shot past, catching up to Jacket. Jacket didn't even realize until Sebastian's sword had thrust into the back of his neck, causing intense pain and making him collapse on the ground. "A Critical Hit! -300!" With a base damage of 90, critical damage doubled it, and an additional critical bonus of 70 points was applied. In addition, Sebastian's Red Cloud Sword had an extra 50 damag
Crossing an entire major realm and still not having learned any sword techniques, Sebastian found himself in a difficult situation. He only possessed a body technique and a spirit shield through his amulet, but the shield was currently on cooldown. This left Sebastian, who was otherwise quite skilled, feeling extremely frustrated. After all, it's challenging to perform well without the right tools. His health had already dropped by a third. If things continued this way, he was going to meet his end in this fight. Sebastian had no intention of dying, even though the game and reality hadn't merged yet, meaning players could respawn. However, Sebastian had a unique talent that stated if he died, his innate attributes would all decrease by 10%. This was something he couldn't accept. He had finally received an excellent starting hand, and he didn't want to jeopardize it. Did they think he was ready to die? Absolutely not! Sebastian reached into his inventory and retrieved a pill. 1:

Ah! Jason finally let out a scream that was horrifying, echoing through the surroundings, and then fainted, unsure if he was alive or dead. The commotion in the room attracted the hotel staff, who heard intense sounds of struggle inside and immediately brought keys to open the door. Upon opening the door, everyone was shocked by the scene before them. Jason lay sprawled on the floor like a dead dog, blood everywhere, his face unrecognizable. Blood continued to flow beneath his pants. Sebastian, on the other hand, stood there like the god of death, coldly watching them. Even the robust security personnel present were chilled to the bone, their bodies cold, as if they were being stared at by a fierce beast. "Don't...don't do anything reckless. We've already called the police..." the hotel manager said trembling with fear. Sebastian finally regained his composure and calmly walked to the sofa, sitting down. "Then let's wait for the police." Seeing Sebastian stabilize, the hotel
Jason took a glance at Sebastian, whose face changed when he realized Sebastian wasn't drinking, pretending not to be pleased. "Sebastian, I've noticed you haven't had a sip of alcohol. You must drink this toast for your sister's birthday." Sebastian grinned and replied, "Jason, it's not that I don't want to drink. I rented that sports car, and I have to return it soon after dinner. Otherwise, I'll incur a hefty rental fee." "You're leaving right after dinner?" Jason raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Yeah, but I need to drop my sister off first," Sebastian answered. Jason wasn't pleased and mockingly said, "Oh, does it require your attention? There are so many of Eva's female colleagues here. Can't they give her a ride? Hurry up and return the car; otherwise, can you afford the overnight fee if you delay?" "I can't afford it..." Sebastian looked fearful. "That's right. Don't worry. After dinner, if your sister has had too much to drink, let her colleagues take care of it,"
Jason said more, the angrier Eva became. She had initially just wanted to treat everyone to a casual meal, and now she was forced into spending over fifty thousand. Eva was growing increasingly disgusted with Jason. "Sebastian, I might have to spend a lot of your money today. Consider it a loan from me," Eva whispered to Sebastian. Sebastian smiled, bringing his head close to Eva's soft and tender ear, exhaling warm air as if his lips were about to touch. "Sis, I've said it before, my money is your money." Sebastian's actions made Eva's ears turn red, and her body started to tingle. Sebastian seemed reluctant to pull away, continuing, "Sis, rest assured. This guy likes to show off, and today, we'll fleece him properly." Eva was already blushing and feeling dizzy, not really hearing what Sebastian was saying. "Are you Dr. Jason?" Sebastian walked up to Jason. "My sister often mentions you, saying you're humble, courteous, righteous, and always eager to help others." Although J
! ChatGPTJason's face turned ashen, realizing that his first plan seemed impossible to execute.Originally, he had planned to deceive Eva and her colleagues into going to the most luxurious hotel, having a feast, and ordering a bunch of expensive items. Given Eva's financial ability, she certainly couldn't afford it.Then, he would step in as the hero, not only winning Eva's favor but also putting her in debt to him. In a previous life, Eva had indeed fallen for such a scheme. After that birthday celebration, she owed Jason a lot of money, and when Sebastian didn't show up, she learned from Sebastian's college roommate after making a call.Sebastian was in a romantic relationship, which explained his avoidance of her. Heartbroken, Eva, and Jason playing the role of a good guy, consoled her. Eva's parents, impressed by Jason, supported their relationship.Having lost Sebastian and all expectations of love, Eva, following her parents' wishes, married Jason. However, on their wed
"Eva, you have to believe me. This game, in the future, will definitely have great prospects. Join the game with me. I'll teach you how to play, the kind where you'll learn everything from me."Sebastian hadn't done anything wrong; he just spoke to her with a serious and earnest expression. He had walked over, intending for Eva to see his expression clearly. He wasn't joking; he was sincere.Feeling reassured, Eva also felt a bit inexplicably disappointed.Suddenly, Sebastian reached his hand under the blanket covering her and slid it over her abdomen, accurately capturing Eva's delicate jade-like hand.Eva shivered all over, clearly startled. Following that, her snow-white and transparent face blushed suddenly, as if the glow of the setting sun dyed her cheeks red, hot and fiery.Fortunately, it was nighttime, and Sebastian didn't see it. He continued persuading her."Jie, this way, we can live together. We can be together every day.""Even if, even if my prediction fails, and this g
Seeing this old and dilapidated residential area, Sebastian furrows his brow."Sis, you live here? This place is almost scheduled for demolition. Are you renting a risky building?"Eva awkwardly laughs, "It's cheap here, and it's close to the hospital where I work. It's okay.""What do you mean 'it's okay'? There isn't even a security guard. What if you encounter bad people when you come home from night shifts?""There aren't that many bad people. Okay, okay, let's go inside."Afraid that Sebastian might spend money again, Eva quickly pulls him upstairs.Opening the door, it's a one-bedroom apartment. Though also old, it's very clean, well-organized, and the floor is so polished it reflects light.Sebastian can't help but feel a bit bitter. He knows that if Eva didn't save him a monthly living allowance, she could afford a better place.But to save money for herself, she chooses to live here."Sebastian, come in. Sis will pour you some water. You must be tired after a day's work. Sit
Scrolling down further, it's the gaming market. In just a few days since the public beta of "Wild Valley World," it has captured 90% of the global gaming market. Its unprecedented popularity and broad audience are unparalleled. It's even hotter than the first holographic game "Ultimatum" from years ago. Many players from other games have lost interest, and some games have even gone bankrupt and closed down. This has attracted numerous capital investments and enterprises, all eager to form guilds within the game. The in-game equipment and common currency in "Wild Valley World" are fetching high prices in the market, changing daily. As of now, any spiritual-grade equipment or skill in "Wild Valley World" can be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions. A low-grade spiritual stone is currently trading at a rate of 1:125 to the Chinese Yuan, and this ratio is still rising. The subsequent posts on the forum are discussions among players regarding the strengths and weaknesse
"Oh, I see. My mistake. Eva, your brother looks really handsome. Good genes in your family," Jason praised.Eva shook her head, smiled gently, and said, "Sebastian is not my biological brother; he is my cousin.""Well, that still has some connection with your family. Cousins share a familial bond between your parents and Sebastian's parents, right?" Jason chuckled.Eva shook her head again, saying, "No, Sebastian and I, although cousins, our relationship has exceeded the fifth degree of kinship. We're not considered relatives."Eva didn't understand why she felt the need to explain her relationship with Sebastian, especially in front of her colleagues.Upon hearing this, Jason's smile quickly faded. Afraid of losing control of his expression, he sneered a few times."All right, you two continue your chat. I have patients to attend to; I'll leave first."After saying that, Jason turned and left the gynecology department. Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Sebastian.As soon
