Su Xing’s Roast Goose: Have you guys heard of a game called My Electronic Girlfriend? It’s insanely well-made—highly detailed character models, smooth animations, no repeated micro-expressions. But it’s also a huge scam.
Wei Ai Ga Dan: Never heard of it.
Shanghai Uncle: What the hell? This game actually exists?
Pink Farran: OP, drop the installation package, I wanna try it!
——————————————
Chen Huai’an chuckled.
He wasn’t surprised.
Of course, no one could find the game on Baidu.
There was no installation package.
No official website.
Yet, the game ran perfectly on his ancient, 1,000-yuan phone with only 64GB of storage.
A game of this quality should have taken up at least 10GB.
But his storage hadn’t changed at all.
The graphics? Flawless.
The animations? Smoother than any mainstream mobile game.
His phone, which lagged even while running Honor of Kings, played this game seamlessly.
There was only one explanation.
Chen Huai’an adjusted his glasses.
He was being watched.
By a powerful hacker organization.
And this game was an experiment.
He was just a test subject.
“…But damn, their game is so well-made.“
He muttered while watching Li Qingran on the screen.
She had finished meditating.
Her external injuries had completely healed.
Her remaining lifespan had increased from 6 hours to 3 years.
At the moment, she was carefully putting away the formation flags used for the Spirit Gathering Array.
Then, she whispered to herself:
“Senior is so kind to me… The materials from these formation flags can be used to craft an amulet. If I ever meet him, I’ll give it to him.”
She hesitated.
“But… for someone as powerful as Senior, wouldn’t he just laugh at such a small gift?”
Chen Huai’an felt something twist in his heart.
The small workshop had really gone all out with emotional design.
Even though he knew it was just game dialogue, the thought of Li Qingran crafting an amulet for him made him feel…
Oddly touched.
Should he use a Sound Transmission Talisman to tell her he liked it?
Then—he checked the Sound Transmission Talisman’s price.
It had returned to its original cost.
300 yuan.
Chen Huai’an: “…Forget it.”
This is just a game.
He switched screens.
The newly unlocked Electronic Girlfriend Store was now available for Qi Refining Period items.
But—the prices were absurd.
- Low-Grade Spirit Stone – 50¥ per piece
- Basic Thunderfire Talisman – 576¥ per piece
- Sound Transmission Talisman – 300¥ per piece
- Low-Grade Common Sword – 998¥ per piece
- Mid-Grade Common Sword – 4,998¥ per piece
- High-Grade Common Sword – 9,998¥ per piece
Chen Huai’an’s eye twitched.
“9,998 yuan… for a freaking basic sword?!”
And the Thunderfire Talismans?
The ones from the special deal were Immortal-Grade.
But the ones in the shop?
Ordinary.
The difference in power was probably massive.
And don’t even get him started on weapons.
This game had multiple weapon tiers:
- Common Weapons (lowest tier)
- Magical Weapons
- Spirit Weapons
- Innate Spiritual Treasures
- Immortal Weapons
If Common Weapons were already selling for 9,998 yuan…
He didn’t even want to imagine how much the higher-tier ones would cost.
“The devs of this game are crazy for money! Who would be dumb enough to buy this—”
Before he could finish his thought—
On screen, Li Qingran suddenly frowned.
Blood dripped from the corner of her lips.
She steadied her breath, suppressing the turmoil in her body.
Her eyes dimmed.
“Senior’s help saved me… but my Dantian is still broken. My foundation is gone. And I no longer have spiritual roots.”
“The Fire Poison is still in my body. My cultivation speed will only slow down over time…
Her voice trembled.
There were two possible solutions.
- Return to Qingyun Sect to beg for pills.
- Venture into Wanqing Mountain to search for healing herbs.
But returning to Qingyun Sect was impossible.
She wasn’t welcome there.
And she refused to ask for help from her old acquaintances.
That left only one option.
Exploring the dangerous Wanqing Mountain… alone.
Chen Huai’an heard every single word.
Even the softest whispers in her heart.
“Why go back to Qingyun Sect?”
“Why risk her life in Wanqing Mountain?”
Chen Huai’an’s gaze darkened.
He opened the recharge menu.
She was spitting blood.
What the hell was he waiting for?!
Even though he knew this game was designed to milk money out of him…
His hands moved on their own.
He bought the Monthly Card.
The biggest scam of them all.
[Monthly Card Purchase Successful!]
[Obtained: 1x Power Transmission & Breathing Adjustment]
[Daily Spirit Stones & Pills have been delivered!]
Two bags fell from the sky onto Li Qingran’s table.
“Pop!”
The noise startled her.
Li Qingran cautiously poked one of the bags.
A faint spiritual energy fluctuation radiated from within.
She lifted her head toward the ceiling.
“Senior… are these from you?”
Silence.
But that was expected.
She was getting used to his silent generosity.
She opened the first bag.
“Hua la—!”
A handful of Spirit Stones spilled out.
Li Qingran froze.
Then, she started counting.
50 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
For comparison—
- Inner Disciples in Qingyun Sect only received 30-40 Spirit Stones per month.
- Foundation Establishment Cultivators received 60-100 Spirit Stones per month.
Yet—she had just received 50.
And this was only her first daily reward.
“Qingran thanks Senior for this generous gift.”
Chen Huai’an smirked.
He instinctively reached out to stroke his beard.
Only to remember—he had no beard.
Even though the Monthly Card was expensive…
50 Spirit Stones for 50¥ each?
This was a bloody profit!
Then, Li Qingran opened the second bag.
Inside—
A red brocade box.
She barely touched it—
And the rich scent of medicinal herbs filled the air.
“This fragrance… it’s so pure!”
She opened the box—
Inside lay a flawless, ruby-red pill.
Her eyes widened.
“Da Huan Dan… an Immortal-Grade healing pill!”
This pill could heal both internal and external injuries.
And more importantly—
It could neutralize Fire Poison.
Senior had given her exactly what she needed.
She felt a warmth spread in her chest.
She had to repay him.
Even if Senior didn’t care for gifts…
She would make something just for him.
At that moment, a new prompt appeared on Chen Huai’an’s screen.
[Li Qingran is about to heal! Use ‘Power Transmission & Breathing Adjustment’ to personally assist her? (Effect Enhanced)]
Chen Huai’an’s eyes narrowed.
“Personally…?”
Something about this felt off.
