Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm-Chapter 578 - 577: A Day of Human Emperor Jiang

Chapter 578: Chapter 577: A Day of Human Emperor Jiang

Jiang Li holds the highest level account on the entire server, but he doesn’t feel elated or invincible.

The reason is plain – the Heavenly Immortal level is too low, only Bai Hongtu would value it.

“Hmm? I feel like this account can accommodate more data about me.” Jiang Li discovered that his account could sync with his real-life cultivation level, so he transferred a small amount of his own energy to the holographic simulator.

Consequently, the level of the Dark Sky Man directly broke through the game settings, reaching new heights.

“Just put a little bit in case it overloads the server.”

After playing for a while, Jiang Li logged off, reluctantly putting down the holographic simulator and followed by Nitrates.

Meanwhile, Nitrates wrote: Emperor Jiang personally tested the new technology and praised it, saying, “The server… is superb.”

What Jiang Li did not know was that his account and the Dark Sky Man merged perfectly. When he logged off, the appearance and level of the Dark Sky Man remained the same as when Jiang Li was logged in.

…

“Our game has gained national support; President Ming Zhong personally approved it and allocated funds for a server upgrade.” The scientists of the Academy were excitedly talking about it.

The new server, a product resulting from the combination of the cultivation arts, improved upon the previous one by ten times. For the backend of a game, such a tremendous server was more than sufficient.

“Team, Team leader, our server is nearing full capacity.”

“How is that possible!”

“It seems that a player has just transferred a large amount of data, which took up server storage space.”

“We’ve investigated. There was a problem with the Dark Sky Man. His strength has almost increased tenfold.”

As an easter egg of the game, Dark Sky Man was a character they kept talking about. Players could never imagine how potent this character might be.

The easter egg was a great success; these developers didn’t anticipate Dark Sky Man to be this powerful.

“It was definitely Emperor Jiang who logged onto this account and transmitted new data.” The Team leader instantly figured it out.

“The avatar of the Dark Sky Man has also changed from a female to a male. It can’t be reverted back to the original.”

“If it can’t be changed back, then let it be. As long as he is powerful enough, we shouldn’t mind.” The team leader in charge of the development team wasn’t particularly concerned about it.

“This opponent is so powerful, can players defeat it?” someone expressed worry.

“What does it matter to us? We only design games, not play them. It’s the players’ business to beat the game.”

“Dare you say that to the players publicly?”

“Definitely not!”

…

“Opening special! Buy one get one free! Genuine offers!”

Jiang Li looked in the direction of the sound, realizing it was coming from a funeral parlor’s grand opening. The passing people tried to avoid the eatery hearing its hawking.

“Come on, take a look! Without what I’m selling, your meals would taste terrible!”

“What are you selling?”

“Salt.”

“…”

“New product from Alchemy Peak: Time-traveling Elixir! Take this pill and travel through time! Come take a look!”

“Time-traveling Elixir?” Jiang Li didn’t expect Alchemy Peak to produce such an unusual product

“Sir, try one. Once you eat this pill, blink your eyes, and you’ll find yourself in the next day. Customers who’ve tried it claimed it let them sleep exceptionally well.”

“…So it’s a sleeping pill.”

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t leave. If you’re not satisfied, we also have this: Fresh Breath Elixir. After eating garlic, just take this pill, and others won’t smell the garlic on your breath.”

“This one sounds quite good.”

“That’s right, this pill comes in various flavors. However, all other flavors have sold out, leaving only one.”

“What flavor is it?”

“Chive flavor.”

“…What’s the point of this elixir?”

Jiang Li also spotted two storytellers setting up their stalls. The content of their stories was essentially the same.

Many people were engrossed, snack on seeds; it seemed both storytellers were highly skilled.

A storyteller began to narrate: “It is said that, eight hundred years ago, two mighty figures battled here. One was named Fei Yan, the other Gu Xiong. Both were famous cultivators of their time, their battle was so dazzling it was awe-inspiring…”

“…Then came a swish, Cultivator Fei Yan used the green descent sword technique, causing Gu Xiong to continually retreat!”

The other storyteller said: “…With a puff, Cultivator Gu Xiong used a secret technique from the Witch lineage, causing Fei Yan to fall from the sky!”

Both men uttered almost simultaneously, making it obvious that they were competing against each other.

The first storyteller then said: “Fei Yan’s sword technique was magical, leaving Gu Xiong injured all over.”

The second storyteller responds: “Gu Xiong was incredibly powerful, and immune to all weapons.”

The two almost spoke simultaneously.

The first storyteller drew out a nine-ring precious blade from his waist, declaring: “When Fei Yan strikes with his sword, no one can withstand it.”

The other storyteller stripped his upper body, displaying the Witch tribe tattoo, he declared: “Gu Xiong’s Witch blood was so brawny that no weapon could harm him.”

“Are you picking a fight?!”

The first storyteller lunged at his opponent: “Cultivator Fei Yan’s sword strike can kill you instantly!”

His opponent, responded by catching the blow: “Cultivator Gu Xiong knows how to catch blades barehanded!”

Their quarrel escalated into a full-blown fight. The ensuing battle was even more thrilling than the story they were narrating. The audience cheered on the spectacle, clearly enjoying the drama unfolding.

Jiang Li, feeling curious, asked: “Aren’t you guys afraid? They’re both God-transformation stage cultivators.”

Someone passed a bag of sunflower seeds to Jiang Li, gesturing him to take a seat on a small stool, and said: “You must be new here. These two are well-known storytellers in our area. Originally, from the same fraternity they frequently fight over their disagreements, which is usually more stimulating than storytelling.”

Others around nodded in agreement. Being able to watch god-transformation stage cultivators duel daily was more than enough entertainment.

“There are too many people here. Let’s go to the mountain over there to battle.” One of the storytellers pointed towards a nearby mountain, to which the other agreed.

“Can you two calm down for a bit?” A guard from the Human Emperor’s Palace intervened to dissuade the pair.

“Your battle will surely relocate the mountain and force a redrawing of the map! Do you have any idea that the Human Emperor’s Palace is now cracking down on cultivators who change the appearance of the landscape? Would you please stop it!”

Upon hearing this, the two had no choice but to reluctantly stand down, exchanging a furious glare.

“Well, since there’s no fight, let’s disperse.” The spectators scattered.

“That guard did well, appearing just in time.” Jiang Li nodded in appreciation.

Nitrates wrote: Emperor Jiang inspected the work of the Human Emporer’s Palace guards and complemented their steadfast and excellent qualities.

In the end, Nitrates spent a full day with Jiang Li and managed to write three versions of news articles overnight.

The latest issue of the ‘Heavenly Machine’ newspaper was released. Its front page detailed Emperor Jiang’s day, emphasizing how Jiang Li, despite being on leave, didn’t forget his role as the Human Emperor. His diligence, attention to the people’s hardships, and key statements regarding economy, technology, and the daily work of the palace guards were covered extensively.

The second page contained an article on how to make dumplings.

The third page was about game strategies.
