Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 544 - 311: Real or Fake Wei Long_2

In fact, the monster disguised as anyone could pose this question.

The important thing is not who the monster is disguised as, but whether the monster and the person it disguised as have a certain relationship that others don't have?

For example, had the monster contacted this person beforehand?

Lu Yu thought of this, and couldn't help but mentally piece together the cause and effect.

If Lin Qingqing wasn't the first to reach the space rift, or rather, if Lin Qingqing wasn't the first to enter the space rift, what if the first person was Wei Long?

Wei Long accidentally fell into the space rift when the ground cave collapsed and returned in time. Because he was looking for other team members, he left the underground cave where the rift was located.

Because Wei Long was the first to enter the space rift, the monster in the Magic Castle saw him and disguised as him to attract Lin Qingqing.

When Wei Long returned to the underground cave after failing to find anyone, he happened to see Lin Qingqing walking into the space rift. Just as he was about to go over to her, he ran into Chen Qingyun.

Then the following events happened. As for why Lin Qingqing entered the space rift, it can actually be explained from many angles.

One could say she wanted to explore the other side of the rift, or she felt that the other side was an undeveloped outland, thinking there were many good things over there and wanted to be the first to "eat the crab," to gain a rich harvest.

All these are Lu Yu's imaginations, and in the absence of evidence, can only be deemed as speculative reasoning to barely explain the cause and effect. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"By the way, why do you want to enter the space rift?" Lu Yu asked as he walked.

Lin Qingqing replied casually, "This side is an undeveloped new frontier, and usually, the pioneers of a new frontier get the greatest benefits. Besides, with the space rift as a retreat, it's worth the risk to explore."

"I just didn't expect the space rift to disappear. Now, without the most convenient retreat path, it's a bit uncomfortable to return to the Divine Martial Realm."

Actually, this is also related to Lin Qingqing's cultivation stagnation.

Su Peng had long since become a Core Formation Realm expert, and he was progressing further along the cultivation path so that Lin Qingqing could barely see his silhouette.

If she doesn't break through to the Qi Sea Realm and form her core to become a Core Formation Realm Martial Cultivator, she might end up being in completely different worlds from Su Peng.

But how easy is it to break through?

She had been stuck at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm for more than a year, reaching only halfway to the Core Formation Realm, still far from truly becoming a Core Formation Realm Martial Cultivator.

Common Martial Cultivators often stay stuck at the Qi Sea Realm peak for eight or nine years, or even ten or twenty years.

Except for a handful of super geniuses, breaking through the barrier from the Qi Sea Realm to the Core Formation Realm takes at least three to four years of accumulation.

Having spent just over a year to move from the peak of the Qi Sea Realm to halfway to the Core Formation Realm, Lin Qingqing was already quite impressive. It would be quite normal for it to take another one or two years to complete the final step.

But compared to Su Peng, who went missing for a month, then broke through to the Core Formation Realm, and further broke through multiple small realms within a year, becoming a strong figure in the Core Formation Realm, her progress seemed too slow.

That's why she was eager to acquire resources, to accelerate her cultivation speed and hasten her breakthrough.

In the outer realm battlefield, the easiest way to obtain large quantities of resources, rare resources, and precious resources is undoubtedly to pioneer new territories.

If entering the outer realm battlefield through regular means, pioneering simply would not be their task as those at the Qi Sea Realm.

Although they are a Celestial Tier squad, in the eyes of other Celestial Wind Academy students, they are seen as unattainable.

In reality, they are the lowest tier in the outer realm battlefield, and pioneering is far from their reach.

The reasons are both due to strength and interests.

No matter how dangerous pioneering is, no one would hand over the benefits to the weak.

Thus, if they entered the outer realm battlefield through regular means, the chances of pioneering would be almost zero. Not to mention, just traversing the entire war zone to reach its edge is already a challenging task.

If they can't even reach the edge of the war zone, pioneering is out of the question.

Therefore, encountering a space rift leading to an unpioneered area was enticing and exciting, as one might imagine.

Before entering the space rift, Lin Qingqing had certainly considered the potential dangers, and after much internal conflict, she finally decided to enter.

And to avoid endangering teammates, she deliberately waited until they weren't around to enter.

She just didn't expect to be seen by Wei Long.

At that time, she mostly intended to scout the other side of the space rift alone. If it wasn't dangerous, she would then call her teammates over to pioneer together.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she crossed the space rift, she saw 'Wei Long' standing in the open plaza of the Magic Castle.

Seeing her teammate appearing in the Magic Castle, Lin Qingqing's first reaction was to approach Wei Long. After entering the Magic Castle, she belatedly realized that it might have been the monster disguised as Wei Long.

She was already trapped within the Magic Castle, unable to leave, needing to clear the labyrinth of luck to depart from here, and she also saw the rewards for clearing the labyrinth.

Those rewards tempted her and made her unwilling to leave easily despite knowing the danger here.
