Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 104: Heh Heh! You’re the One!

Chapter 104: Heh Heh! You’re the One!

Lin Lingling had no idea what had gotten into Chen Huai’an.

The moment they got home, he locked himself in the spare bedroom and didn’t come out.

"Whatever. Not my problem.

After all that chaos, I’m gonna drop dead if I don’t sleep."

She cautiously glanced at Baji on the couch—

Only for their eyes to meet.

Both of them shuddered simultaneously.

【Why is this human brat staring at me? Gonna snitch on me?】 – Baji, trembling.

‘Why is this big demon glaring at me? Gonna eat me?’ – Lin Lingling, legs weak.

The memory of that monstrous shadow on the wall made Lin Lingling’s scalp go numb.

She bolted for the master bedroom.

Baji watched her disappear, then let out a long sigh of relief.

It immediately jumped onto the windowsill, joining the Big Green Fish in absorbing the mysterious spirit plant’s Qi.

This place was like serving an unpredictable emperor—one wrong move, and it was over.

It had to escape.

As soon as possible.

…

Meanwhile, inside the spare bedroom—

Chen Huai’an had already logged into My Virtual Girlfriend.

A system notification popped up.

【Demonic Cultivator Fragment x1 obtained.】

【Spider Silk Armor received.】

"Huh? Demonic Cultivator Fragment? What the hell is that?"

"And where’s the Spider Silk Armor? I don’t see any package at the door."

Usually, rewards arrived outside his apartment in a mysterious package.

He had checked—nothing there this time.

Just as he finished speaking—

Shwoop—!

A package suddenly appeared on his bed.

【Spider Silk Armor – Delivered to Immortal Chen.】

Chen Huai’an stared at the package.

His mouth twitched.

"Wow. Not even pretending anymore, huh?

All those ‘delivery packages’ before—just for show?"

He tore it open.

Inside was a vest-like garment—

Similar to a bulletproof vest, but far lighter.

The outer material was silky smooth, yet beneath it, he could feel rigid armor plates.

A strong gut feeling told him—

These plates were made from the Human-Faced Spider’s exoskeleton.

Between the plates, silver threads held everything together.

He tugged at them—super elastic.

So this was the "spider silk" part.

Killed a demon, got armor out of it.

Even though the thing had been blown to dust…

Not a single resource was wasted.

"Good stuff.

Wearing this should lower my chances of getting turned into minced meat."

Without hesitation, he put it on.

Then, he made a mental note—

The Spider Silk Armor now joined the Blackscale Sword as part of his "sleeping essentials."

He checked the new Demonic Cultivator Fragment.

【Demonic Cultivator Fragment: A token obtained from slaying a demonic cultivator.】

【Collect 10 fragments to unlock the Righteous Cultivator Faction Shop.】

"Oh, so that Human-Faced Spider was a demonic cultivator?"

Chen Huai’an smacked his fist into his palm.

That made sense.

He didn’t particularly care about righteous or evil paths.

After all, in novels and games, the so-called Righteous Dao wasn’t always so righteous.

It’s not about the sect, it’s about the heart.

But—

If being evil meant looking like some horrendous monster…

Then yeah, he’d rather be a handsome, righteous cultivator.

"Wait, didn’t I also kill a demonic cultivator in the game before?

Why didn’t I get a Demonic Cultivator Fragment then?"

Three possibilities—

Only real-world kills counted.

The in-game enemy hadn’t actually died from the lightning strike.

The fragment drop rate was random.

Either way, he mentally noted it down for future reference.

In the game, Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi were still meditating.

For some reason, Yue Qianchi had wrapped herself up tightly in blankets…

Wasn’t she hot?

Chen Huai’an didn’t dwell on it.

Instead, he opened his character panel and navigated to Talent Abilities.

Several options appeared:

【Golden Needle Acupuncture Lv2: Spring Renewal Needle (Small Mastery), Meridian-Opening Needle (Initial Mastery)】

【Green Lotus Sword Manual (Initial Mastery)】

【Tideborn Technique (Conditions Not Met)】

"Just as I thought—I can cultivate the Tideborn Technique!"

Seeing his hunch confirmed, Chen Huai’an grinned.

It didn’t specify what conditions were needed…

But he had a good guess—

All meridians must be opened.

Even if that wasn’t 100% correct, opening all his meridians would only benefit him.

"Alright! Time to level up my Meridian-Opening Needle!"

He checked the details:

【Meridian-Opening Needle (Initial Mastery): Unblocks meridians but has a high risk of causing disability.】

【Upgrade to Small Mastery: Requires ¥1999 in in-game purchases.】

"¥1999? That’s actually a steal!"

Before, he hadn’t paid attention.

But now?

Now, he knew better.

"Top up!"

He swiped his card, loading ¥1999 into the game.

But—

The upgrade didn’t unlock.

"Oh—right. I actually have to spend the money."

No problem.

Time to spend!

His gaze swept the game interface.

He noticed that Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi were still using a Mid-Tier Spirit Gathering Formation.

He clicked his tongue.

"Chen Huai’an, have some dignity!

How could you let Qingran baby cultivate with trash-tier formations?!

Time to step up my game—5.3 more hours of Advanced Spirit Gathering Formation!

And let’s stack them!"

Clink, clink, clink!

Ten Spirit Crystals materialized, surrounding the existing Mid-Tier Formation.

Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi snapped awake.

"Enemies?!"

Yue Qianchi’s eyes sharpened as she scanned the room—

Only to freeze in shock.

"HOLY SHIT—!

That’s an Advanced Spirit Gathering Formation?!

The Spirit Qi is insane!"

Before, when the Mid-Tier Formation appeared, she had been briefly mortified…

But the pure joy of cultivating in it had made her forget the embarrassment.

Who cared if she was seen?

Li Qingran’s Master was supposedly some Supreme Elder—

A thousand-year-old cultivator pursuing The Dao.

Surely, he had no unseemly thoughts about a young woman like her.

Hell, even if she offered herself, he’d probably reject her outright.

Back at the sect, she rarely even used Low-Tier Spirit Gathering Formations.

The only reason her cultivation had progressed so smoothly was thanks to Su Qinian funneling all the peak’s Spirit Qi into Falling Sunset Summit.

Otherwise, she’d never have reached Golden Core Mid-Stage.

She had expected no cultivation opportunities on this trip.

But just before bed?

Her Master had casually summoned a Mid-Tier Formation.

Now, at midnight?

He just dropped an Advanced one on top of it.

Yue Qianchi gulped.

Advanced Spirit Gathering Formations…

Were those even something she was worthy of?

"Junior Sister, your Master is unreal."

She gave Li Qingran a thumbs-up.

Then, after a moment—

"By the way, Junior Sister—does your Master have a Dao Companion?"

"Dao—Dao Companion?"

Li Qingran blushed.

But then—

She suddenly tensed, eyeing Yue Qianchi suspiciously.

"Senior Sister… why do you ask?"

Yue Qianchi smirked playfully.

"I mean, look at me—I’m a beauty.

If your Master doesn’t have a Dao Companion…

Maybe I could—"

"NO!!!"

Li Qingran crossed her arms, her face burning.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

…

Meanwhile—

Chen Huai’an had just finished upgrading his skill.

【Meridian-Opening Needle: Small Mastery achieved.】

A new upgrade appeared—

【Upgrade to Great Mastery: Requires ¥6666 in in-game purchases.】

"Hmm… That’s very reasonable!

Top up!"

But how should he spend the money this time?

Extending the Spirit Gathering Formation again?

Nah—

Li Qingran and Yue Qianchi still had to travel.

He browsed the in-game shop—

Until his eyes landed on something perfect.

He grinned wickedly.

"Heh heh…

This is perfect.

You’re the one!"

…
