What If There Is an Afterlife?
A Twist of Fate in Mount Lu
A sudden earthquake triggered a landslide.
A massive boulder came crashing down—
Smashing a cable car into oblivion.
Miraculously, no innocent lives were lost.
Instead, the seven people killed were all drug lords—
Kingpins of two notorious trafficking organizations.
The internet exploded with theories.
“Divine retribution?”
“Did the Mountain God of Mount Lu intervene?”
Some even linked it to the mirage of the Emperor’s procession witnessed earlier.
Whatever the reason—the world was shaken.
Chen Huaian’s First Priority
But Chen Huaian?
He had no time for internet rumors.
He hobbled down the mountain, ignoring the pain in his fractured leg.
Zhang Rui, worried sick, called for an ambulance.
Chen Huaian?
He borrowed a power bank.
Plugged in his phone.
And opened “Electronic Girlfriend.”
Because nothing mattered more than Li Qingran.
The moment the game loaded—
A flurry of alerts flooded the screen.
A Desperate Battle
[You have 130 days left to live.]
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is under attack by a small beast tide!]
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is fighting hard…]
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is injured.]
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is seriously injured!]
Chen Huaian’s heart dropped.
“What the hell happened?! I was only gone for a few hours!”
He dismissed the alerts frantically and saw the horrifying scene unfold before him—
Li Qingran on the Brink of Death
The stone house lay in ruins.
A horde of monsters surrounded Li Qingran’s broken body.
Blood stained the ground.
Her torn clothes bore deep claw marks.
There was no beauty in the tattered fabric—
Only raw, open wounds.
She knelt in a pool of her own blood, her shattered sword still clutched in her trembling hands.
Her Final Moments
Li Qingran stared at the morning sky through a gaping hole in the roof.
Her vision blurred.
The world faded to gray.
A tit bird flitted across the sky.
Her lips curled into a weak smile.
Nineteen years in this world.
She had fought.
She had lost.
Her father died on the battlefield.
Her mother was poisoned by assassins.
She entered Qingyun Sect seeking revenge.
But found herself trapped in a new nightmare.
The sect’s laws protected the strong.
She was weak.
So she trained.
Dreamed of growing stronger.
Yet now—
It was all over.
A Name Etched in Her Soul
She thought of him.
The mysterious senior who had saved her.
Who had given her warmth.
Who had never asked for anything in return.
Her voice trembled.
“In this life… I can no longer repay Senior’s kindness… cough…”
Blood trickled from her lips.
Her body slumped.
Her vision darkened.
“If there is an afterlife…”
A monster lunged.
A blur of fangs and claws.
Death approached.
Then the Skies Split Apart.
BOOM!
A golden pillar of lightning roared down from the heavens.
Followed by another.
And another.
Dozens.
Hundreds.
A divine storm of thunder and fire talismans rained from the sky.
The earth trembled.
The air crackled with raw power.
The beast tide stood no chance.
Monsters vanished in an instant—
Reduced to ashes.
A Hidden Assassin Perishes
In the distance, Song Jiaojiao watched in horror.
“What… the hell?”
“WHO is behind Li Qingran?!”
She had used a Crazy Beast Attractor to lure the monsters.
She had expected Li Qingran to die in silence.
Instead—
A force beyond comprehension intervened.
Song Jiaojiao shivered.
The talismans kept falling.
As if they were worthless scraps.
Hundreds.
Thousands of spirit stones’ worth of talismans spent like pocket change.
The ground outside the hut was cratered.
The beasts were annihilated.
And then—
A single, golden talisman hovered above Song Jiaojiao’s head.
The characters on it flashed with divine might.
Her face turned pale.
“A… an Immortal-grade Thunder Fire Talisman?!”
A weapon of destruction.
Wasted on her.
A mere Qi Refining cultivator.
She laughed bitterly.
Then—
BOOM.
Golden lightning erased her from existence.
Chen Huaian’s Breath of Relief
All red dots vanished from the map.
Only Li Qingran remained.
Chen Huaian exhaled.
He wasn’t even this nervous when he fractured his own leg.
“Damn it, can’t this game give enemy warnings?!”
He had just spent half his 500 Koi draws.
Most of the rewards were spirit stones, sound transmission talismans, and thunder fire talismans.
But he had also gotten—
- 12 High-grade Talismans
- 3 Supreme-grade Talismans
- 2 Immortal-grade Talismans
- A Top-tier Magic Weapon—Suxian Sword
A bloody profit.
But now wasn’t the time to count his earnings.
His eyes locked onto Li Qingran’s status.
She Was Dying.
[Status: Severe blood loss, dying]
[Current Cultivation: Qi Refining Stage 5]
[Lifespan Remaining: A moment]
[Favorability: 35 (Respect)]
A Desperate Attempt to Save Her
“Damn it.”
He opened her inventory.
Dragged out a Da Huan Dan—
A legendary healing pill.
Clicked “Use.”
And then—
[Your electronic girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ is critically injured and unable to swallow the Da Huan Dan. The medicine has failed!]
Chen Huaian froze.
What?!
He stared at the message.
Then at Li Qingran’s broken body.
“…So you’re telling me this game follows REALISTIC survival mechanics?!”
“What is this, a f*ing civil service exam?!”**
Lmao
