Cultivation Online

1402 System Update

Three days have passed since Cultivation Online closed its servers for a system update. Although three days may seem short at a glance, one should consider how many people are addicted to the game. If an alcoholic drinks every day for the past year, it would be an incredible ordeal if they were suddenly forced to stop for three whole days.

Moreover, Cultivation Online wasn't just a mere game for many Players. It was their job—their livelihood.

By selling the money or treasures they had acquired to paying players, many players are able to live a comfortable life. Of course, this would only be possible in a game as popular as Cultivation Online, where countless passionate and wealthy players exist.

In fact, most— if not all Legacy Families have their own gold farming operations, where hundreds or thousands of players solely focus on earning money, whether it be through hunting magical beasts or seeking treasures.

The financial influence wielded by Cultivation Online has outstripped numerous leading global enterprises, firmly embedding it in the world's economic fabric. It's no overstatement to claim that the global economy would teeter on the brink of collapse if Cultivation Online were to suddenly disappear out of thin air.

Many entities, including governmental bodies, closely monitor Cultivation Online due to its profound global impact. Yet, given its elusive nature and mysterious operations, nobody knows where to begin, much less control them.

Cultivation Online was owned and operated by a shell company operated by a fake identity. When people investigated this shell company, they couldn't find any information on it. No digital footprint, nothing. It was almost as if they were created and operated by a ghost.

During these three days, Yuan spent most of his time training with Liya from morning to night. Because Liya wanted to preserve as much strength as possible for her training with Yuan, she halted training with the others and made them self-

train at home instead. Of course, none of them had any complaints about their break.

"Cultivation Online should be returning sometime today, so I will end our training here," Yuan said to Liya sometime past noon.

"Oh, okay." Liya nonchalantly nodded.

Liya could tell that she'd improved drastically from their training. Now that she had someone who could face her at her strongest, she no longer needed to worry about holding back, allowing her talents to shine.

"Unfortunately, you couldn't defeat me even once. Next time, perhaps." Yuan smiled at her.

Liya clenched her fists at his words, but she had no comeback.

Once Yuan left and returned home, Liya approached the Lord and said, "I do not want to lose to him again! Can you train me?"

The Lord was surprised, as he'd offered to train her before but was rejected
