62: How could a man like me become a concubine?

After reading his transmigration identity word by word, Old Potato was directly enraged.

“I am a strapping young man, how could I possibly be a male concubine? What nonsense!”

Old Potato snorted repeatedly, immediately exited the VR pod, shook his head, and opened his computer to browse the forums.

He had spent a lot of time at the hospital and planned to thoroughly understand the current state of the Xuanhuan World before deciding whether to be a male concubine.

Bah, bah, no matter what, being a male concubine was definitely out of the question.

“Huh? Why are there more sections on the forum?”

Old Potato was a bit surprised.

The main sections were easy to understand, such as [Official Information], [Fan Creations], [Game Guides], which other game forums also had.

But under one section, [Regions], there were four sub-sections, all with very high popularity:

[Chu Country], [Li Kingdom], [Yue Country], [Great Jiang Dynasty]

Old Potato read a few pinned posts and then realized that these were the four countries opened within the game.

The Efeng Mountain Range runs north-south, with Chu Country and Li Kingdom to the east, and Yue Country and Great Jiang Dynasty to the west. Qinghe Town and Duan Kong Cave are both located within Chu Country.

Chu Country is also the only country in the game with fully open regions. It’s not large, spanning approximately tens of thousands of square miles, a typical small country, and is jokingly referred to by players as the “Newbie Village.”

A Newbie Village of tens of thousands of square miles?

Only the Xuanhuan World could be so grand.

Old Potato was somewhat curious about the different appellation of Great Jiang Dynasty and investigated further.

“So that’s it. If the imperial family consists of Mortals, it can only be called a Country. If the imperial family practices Cultivation, then it can be called an Imperial Dynasty. If there is a Nascent Soul expert presiding, it can even be respectfully called an Immortal Dynasty, which is even more powerful than many Sects.”

Old Potato suddenly understood and then curiously inquired about another question: Can transmigration be re-randomized?

The answer he received made him very uncomfortable:

He could only re-randomize after dying, but each death required a 24-hour wait before restarting.

Most importantly, dying as a Mortal would not yield any reincarnation points, making it meaningless.

Dying at Qi Refining would only grant one reincarnation point, allowing him to choose from insignificant Golden Fingers like having a Spiritual Vein, slightly increased Comprehension Ability, +10 Lifespan, or Bring your own Spirit Stone. It was better than nothing.

“So, this Qi Refining Ninth Level male concubine identity of mine is actually quite good?”

Old Potato hesitated now.

Qi Refining Ninth Level is only one step away from Foundation Establishment. As long as he can Breakthrough, even if he dies immediately and restarts, he will get more reincarnation points and can choose stronger Golden Fingers, making his next start very convenient.

But, he would have to be a male concubine!

While browsing the forums, Old Potato naturally saw the recent hot topic, which was This Time Bu Ge's video.

He knew that to utilize his identity advantage, he had to play the original character well, trying not to show any flaws.

For him, a strapping young man, to play a male concubine? What a joke!

If he were playing the game alone, it would be fine, but he was also a streamer! With so many viewers watching, how could he possibly play a male concubine?

“Just as well, I need to recuperate my body recently, so I wasn't planning on streaming anyway. I'll use this as an excuse to appease my viewers for now, and then depending on the situation, I'll make some videos that can be released later…”

Old Potato's eyes darted around, and he had already decided to turn off his stream first, then secretly enter the game to become a male concubine.

Since he had decided to become the empress's male concubine, it was necessary to thoroughly understand the situation of the Great Jiang Dynasty.

Old Potato directly added the [Great Jiang Dynasty] section to his special watch list and clicked in to browse the posts.

After the Xuanhuan World opened its multiplayer mode, the number of players skyrocketed, already reaching several million sales, and the sales growth was becoming increasingly evident. It was highly likely to achieve an astonishing hundred million sales in the future.

Although the Xuanhuan World is vast and its population even larger, a few million players, even if all chose transmigration, could not change the overall situation of the Xuanhuan World.

But these players, dispersed across the four countries, eventually gathered a lot of information.

For example:

The Great Jiang Dynasty is powerful, having conquered five countries and destroyed more than a dozen Sects in just ten years. If not for the Golden Core Stage empress seeking to Breakthrough to Nascent Soul and transform the Imperial Dynasty into an Immortal Dynasty, it is likely that Chu, Yue, and Li Countries would have also fallen one after another.

“Holy cow, this empress is a Golden Core? And a Golden Core who can Breakthrough to Nascent Soul?”

Old Potato's breathing became rapid, and he felt a surge of excitement.

Being a male concubine to a Golden Core seemed like it wouldn't be a loss at all.

On the contrary, it was a great fortune!

Just as his heart was pounding and he couldn't wait to enter the game, he suddenly saw another post.

The title of this post was completely out of place with the surrounding posts:

[Buying Cultivation Technique for One Million]

One million? Forum currency?

Old Potato blinked, clicked into the post, and felt his eyes sting:

[Is there anyone who transmigrated into the Great Jiang Dynasty imperial family? I am looking to buy the imperial family's Cultivation Technique and am willing to pay one million chinese yuan, after tax.]

“One million? chinese yuan? And after tax?”

Old Potato was completely stunned.

He suddenly thought of a question.

The Xuanhuan World is currently exploding in popularity, and multiplayer mode has also been enabled.

So, wealthy individuals would naturally flock in.

Since this game doesn't have in-app purchases or top-ups, finding someone to trade with became the best way to improve.

That was the logic.

But one million really shocked Old Potato.

Not only him, but the subsequent replies to this post also expressed disbelief:

[No way? One million for a Cultivation Technique?]

[You have to know, after you die, you have to restart. If you don't have enough reincarnation points, you can't even inherit the Cultivation knowledge from your previous life, which means you'd be wasting a million.]

[Would anyone really spend a million in the Xuanhuan World?]

The post's OP seemed afraid that people wouldn't believe him and specially posted a screenshot.

Old Potato looked closely and saw it was an account screenshot from a previous multiplayer competitive game. The wealthy OP clearly had a full set of skins, with a total value probably exceeding thirty million.

At this point, everyone was stunned.

This was a true tycoon!

[Does it have to be a Great Jiang imperial family Cultivation Technique? I have other Cultivation Techniques, up to seventh-grade, would that work?]

[It doesn't have to be a Great Jiang imperial family Cultivation Technique, but it must be able to cultivate Immortal Qi and form an Immortal Foundation.]

“What is that?”

Old Potato looked at the post's conversation, feeling somewhat confused.

A seventh-grade Cultivation Technique was already very powerful; it was said that Duan Kong Cave's Sect-founding Cultivation Technique was no more than that.

But this tycoon completely disregarded it, instead inquiring about two unfamiliar terms.

Old Potato became interested and typed a question:

[What does it mean to cultivate Immortal Qi and form an Immortal Foundation?]

The wealthy OP seemed a bit surprised:

[Don't you all know? I bought this information for a thousand yuan, it was quite cheap, and I thought everyone would know.]

Old Potato's mouth twitched. Good heavens, chinese yuan players were truly different. Information that other players painstakingly gathered, he could acquire with just a transfer.

Fortunately, this tycoon truly didn't care about money and immediately revealed the thousand-yuan information.
