26: No, I was just showing off for a few minutes and then I was defeated again?

"Old Potato, the house over there has been demolished. Move everything over here. We'll fight a defensive battle here!"

Midnight Gao Sou shouted at Old Potato.

He held several large stones in his hands, placing them on the ground with a thud, then stacking them together.

Xiao Daidai was also helping, equally excited:

"Brothers, I've never been this excited!

"Before, I only played casual games, and my character's stats were so low. Forget moving stones, even moving a vase would exhaust me.

"Now it's great! I can lift a giant rock with one hand without effort!"

Xiao Daidai also carried stones, slamming them onto the ground with a thud.

She looked at the non-existent virtual camera and chuckled:

"Brothers, I've found that this Jiang Feng is quite egalitarian between men and women.

"Look, whether male or female, anyone can cultivate, become a Qi Refining Cultivator, and possess such powerful strength.

"This Xuanhuan World is simply a paradise for us girls!"

Xiao Daidai was already starting to realize that the Xuanhuan World indeed didn't distinguish much between the physical differences of men and women.

Because once cultivation began, the gap in Realm would directly erase the gender gap.

But one thing she hadn't realized was...

This also meant that this world didn't care about gender, ethnicity, or nation; it only cared about cultivation.

And those with higher cultivation than them had already arrived.

"Midnight Gao Sou, Old Potato, Xiao Daidai, all of you, come out!"

A very loud shout came from afar.

Midnight Gao Sou and the other two exchanged glances:

"The pursuers are here!"

"Don't panic, we'll go straight into the fortress and fight a war of attrition with them!"

"That's right, all the blades in the martial arts hall are ready, and there are plenty of bows and arrows and spears. That should be enough for us to hold out for a while."

The three quickly retreated into the fortress, picking up bows and arrows and spears, ready to attack.

Calling it a fortress, it was actually a temporary structure made of a mix of stones and wood.

Old Potato always liked playing social games and wasn't much of a solo player, so he designed this structure.

In the past, when he played ancient-style games, he often had his NPCs build cities and fortresses to deal with the rebel armies rampant during the end of a Dynasty. They were incredibly effective. Even regular armies had to waste a lot of time breaking through stone barriers, and even Wuxia masters could only approach inch by inch.

Therefore, all three were very confident that they could wear down the enemy before the fortress was breached.

But soon... *Swish swish swish!*

Before the people even arrived, sounds of Flying Swords piercing the air could be heard.

In truth, Qi Refining Cultivators didn't have the ability to use Flying Swords.

However, at a distance of several hundred meters, their arm strength was perfectly capable of throwing heavy greatswords around like pebbles.

Soon, greatswords directly pierced through the stone walls and collapsed the wooden support pillars.

Amidst a cloud of smoke...

Midnight Gao Sou, Old Potato, and Xiao Daidai stood dumbfounded.

What the heck, what's going on?

Midnight Gao Sou looked outside.

The people from the martial arts hall had long since fled, leaving no one behind.

Now, about thirty people were surging forward, each enveloped in wisps of Spiritual Qi, looking imposing and extraordinary.

"So many?"

At this moment, Midnight Gao Sou finally realized he had made a serious mistake.

He subconsciously assumed that the pursuers would at most be three or four Qi Refining Cultivators, with the rest being Mortal cannon fodder.

After all, in traditional Wuxia stories, the heroes were always accompanied by ordinary people, or even weaker servants.

In the Xuanhuan World, strong individuals naturally have weaker ones around them, but Qi Refining Cultivators are the weakest; Mortals cannot possibly mix with Cultivators.

Unfortunately, the three who had just experienced the thrill of being superhumans in the martial arts hall were the weakest, Qi Refining First Level.

"Gao Sou, why don't we run?"

Xiao Daidai looked at the thirty-plus Qi Refining Cultivators, her legs turning to jelly.

At this moment, Old Potato calmly said, "We can't just run like this. We need to buy them some time, make it harder for them to catch us."

Midnight Gao Sou deeply agreed: "Old Potato, you're right, we really can't just run. So, what do you suggest we do?"

Old Potato calmly said, "Here's the plan: you two block them in front, and I'll retreat first."

Xiao Daidai was speechless: "Aren't you joking, brother? You want us two to be your human shields?"

Old Potato remained calm: "Think about it, the Xuanhuan World is actually a linear story game, it's stage by stage. We definitely can't pass this stage right now, so it's better to let you two delay them for a while, then I'll run out to scout the route, so we can do better in the next round."

Xiao Daidai and Midnight Gao Sou exchanged glances.

Then they looked at the bullet comments.

【Holy cow, Old Potato really has a plan!】

【If we figure out the enemy's encirclement now, the next round will be easy!】

【Gao Sou, don't hesitate, sacrifice yourselves quickly!】

"Alright, let's do it!"

Midnight Gao Sou and Xiao Daidai looked at each other, both bravely rushing towards the Qi Refining Cultivators.

With their Qi Refining First Level strength, they lasted about a few seconds, then kicked the bucket.

No choice, the numerical difference was too great, and the opponents also had Qi Refining Ninth Level Cultivators present.

【Hahaha, died in a few seconds?】

【Did you see Old Potato's expression? So brilliant!】

【Did you see that NPC? So fast, much faster than Gao Sou and them. I almost didn't notice when he exhaled Qi mist.】

【This definitely isn't Qi Refining First Level, Old Potato must be finished too.】

Indeed, just as the viewers were laughing gleefully...

Old Potato, who had just scurried away, was directly killed by a Spiritual Qi sword strike.

His head fell to the ground.

"Damn it!!"

Midnight Gao Sou stared at the black screen, completely dumbfounded.

"Brothers, this isn't right, is it?

"Didn't I just get an adventure and become a Qi Refining Cultivator?

"How long has it been since I was showing off, and now I'm instantly killed like trash again?

"Is the power scaling in his Xuanhuan World that fast?

"Then what's the point of us playing? If we're always getting abused, what's fun about it?"

The more Midnight Gao Sou thought about it, the angrier he got.

He originally thought that with a team, the three of them would go on a killing spree together.

Turns out, it was three people getting abused together.

What kind of crappy game is this?

【Gao Sou, Gao Sou, quick, go to the Huan Meng official website!】

【So many people are leaving comments on the official website, scolding Jiang Feng terribly!】

【Hehe, looks like our Gao Sou isn't the only one getting abused.】

【Don't even mention it, I just checked the competition data, good heavens, the Xuanhuan World has tens of thousands of sales!】

Midnight Gao Sou was also fuming. After complaining for a while on a call with Old Potato and Xiao Daidai, he immediately clicked into the Huan Meng official website.

"Brothers, I don't care anymore! Today, I, Gao Sou, am also going to leave a bad review!

"Damn it, I've never played such a frustrating game!"

Midnight Gao Sou, along with the people in his live stream, surged to the Huan Meng official website.

The result was... "Holy cow, this Jiang Feng kid actually closed the comment section!

"He's not human!"

...Meanwhile, on the other side.

In Modu, at Illusion Dream Game Studio.

Jiang Feng sat with his legs crossed, watching the continuously rising sales figures on his computer.
