I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

Section 077 Uses of the Spirit Communication Talisman

"Mr. Zhou, in recognition of your outstanding performance in this operation, you have been awarded 10,000 game points."

"In recognition of your outstanding performance in this operation, the Ghost Messenger Tokens your team obtained during the battle will belong to you."

Zhou Yunshen looked at the two paragraphs of text in front of him and typed, "The Ghost Messenger Token is mine now, but what about the other players?"

Administrator: "The government will pay them according to the market price of the ghost messenger tokens."

Zhou Yunshen: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for clarifying things."

Administrator: You're welcome.

Zhou Yunshen switched pages to check his game score.

Sure enough, his game score had gone from zero to ten thousand points.

He then clicked into the government's points mall and took a look.

The points mall was filled with a dazzling array of goods, including Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques and spiritual treasures. However, the prices of these items were often tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of points per item, which was far beyond what his 10,000 game points could handle.

Cheaper options are also available; some common spiritual fruits and pills can be bought for a few thousand or tens of thousands of game points.

Each piece in the Ghost Messenger four-piece set costs 5,000 points.

Zhou Yunshen browsed through the points mall and then clicked to close it.

His 10,000 game points were still too few; he couldn't buy anything in the points shop that would tempt him.

"I should save these points for now and buy things later when I have more," Zhou Yun thought to himself.

These game points are earned by completing tasks issued by the government, and he will definitely have more opportunities to earn game points in the future.

Suddenly, Zhou Yunshen thought of the Netherworld Talisman in his trial space.

Then, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, he realized one use of the Spirit Communication Talisman.

If he were being hunted by a powerful enemy in the Xuan Yuan World, with no way to escape and certain death, then this Tong You Talisman might be a life-saving charm.

Using the Netherworld Talisman, one can escape to the underworld and may not necessarily die.

Staying means certain death.

In this situation, it goes without saying what the player should do, right?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yunshen quickly sent a message to the administrator, expressing his thoughts.

The administrator quickly replied: "Thank you for your valuable suggestion, Mr. Zhou."

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and it came to August 15th of the Earth calendar.

Today is payday, or more accurately, the day for receiving living allowances.

Zhou Yunshen opened the game forum and checked his account. Sure enough, he found that he had gained 10 gold coins.

He now has a total of 33 gold beans in his account.

Yes, 33.

The extra gold coins were rewards he received for providing information, ideas and suggestions to the forum administrators time and time again. Before he knew it, he had accumulated so many rewards.

It must be said that the government's attitude towards these players was quite lenient.

In this situation, the relationship between the government and the players is relatively harmonious.

He had previously worried that the government would use drastic measures to manage them, the players, and if that happened, they would suffer.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Those in charge of government affairs have a long-term vision.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yunshen directly exchanged the 33 gold beans for Xia Kingdom's new currency and deposited them into his bank card.

Then, he dialed his mother's number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello, Mom," Zhou Yunshen called out.

"Hey, Yun Shen, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly decide to call Mom?" His mother's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with surprise.

Zhou Yunshen said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask how you and Dad have been doing lately."

Zhou's mother: "That's good. You don't need to worry about the two of us. But you, being alone out there, remember to take good care of yourself, and bring me a daughter-in-law back for the New Year."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunshen couldn't help but smile wryly.

It's the daughter-in-law again.

When he was in college, his family started urging him to find a girlfriend. After he started working, they became even more anxious. Every time they talked on the phone, they would ask him to bring a daughter-in-law home, which made him a little afraid to talk to his parents on the phone.

Zhou Yunshen: "Mom, I have good news for you."

Zhou's mother: "What good news?"

Zhou Yunshen: "I've made some money recently, over 300,000 yuan. I'll transfer 300,000 yuan to you later. My family's little shop has been getting worse and worse lately, so if you ask me, we should just close it down. Then you and Dad can enjoy life more, go on a trip or something."

In recent years, the business of small shops has been severely impacted by chain snack stores, and business has indeed become increasingly difficult. After deducting expenses, it is already considered very good if one can earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year.

There are less than three years left before the invasion of the Xuan Yuan World. Who knows if we will survive in three years? Who knows what the world will become?

Zhou Yunshen hopes that his parents can live a better life in the future and enjoy life to the fullest.

Zhou's mother: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your father and I are still young. How can we just quit this business? If we stop doing business and retire now, what will your future wife think of us?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunshen couldn't help but smile wryly.

The voice belonging to Zhou's mother continued, "What did you just say? You said you recently earned over 300,000 yuan? How did you earn so much money?"

Zhou Yunshen: "Would you believe me if I said I earned it by playing games?"

Zhou's mother: "What do you think? You're my son. I know what you're capable of. If you can make money playing games, then the sun must rise in the west."

Zhou Yunshen gave a wry smile, thinking to himself, "Telling the truth, nobody believes me."

Unfortunately, the government has a confidentiality agreement, and the matter of "Xuan Yuan Invasion" cannot be leaked.

Zhou Yunshen: "I recently changed jobs. Now I'm a game tester, yes, a game tester."

"Game tester? What kind of job is that, and how can it pay such a high salary?" Zhou's mother's voice carried a hint of suspicion.

Zhou Yunshen: "It's a game testing job. It's a very lucrative job, with a base salary of 100,000 yuan a month."

Zhou's mother: "Don't lie to me. Such a good job, people would be fighting tooth and nail for it, how could it be your turn?"

Zhou Yunshen: "I was just lucky."

After much persuasion, Zhou Yunshen's mother finally reluctantly believed him and accepted the fact that her son had found a high-paying job.

To Zhou Yunshen's dismay, no matter what he said, his mother refused to give up the family's small shop.

Furthermore, Zhou's mother stated that she would save the money Zhou Yunshen gave her for him to use when he gets married in the future.

Zhou Yunshen felt somewhat helpless about this.

All I can say is, parents' hearts are always full of love and worry...
