I speedrunned the fairies' game!

Chapter 1: In Another World, Speedrun Begins

"Sir, please have mercy!"

"A single copper coin will bring you good fortune when you go out, and peace and safety to your whole family!"

In June, the city of Tai'an was baked into a giant steamer by the sun.

In the western part of the city, a group of ragged beggars huddled under the shade of a tree, begging with bowls in hand.

"Da da da"

A plump, mature woman walked by carrying a vegetable basket, her skirt swaying and creating a fragrant breeze.

The silver bracelet on her wrist jingled softly, and she flicked her delicate hand—

A dozen or so copper coins were thrown to the ground, making a crisp "bang bang bang" sound.

The beggars rushed forward, scrambling to grab the food.

In this scene of hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, a young man's figure stands out as an oddity.

The young man was in his early twenties, with handsome and dashing features and bright, star-like eyes. Even in his tattered clothes, he could not hide the refined and noble air about him.

At this moment, he sat alone under the locust tree, gazing leisurely at the sky, silent and motionless.

"This young man"

The mature woman lifted her skirt and walked straight up to the young man.

"Clang."

An object fell into the broken bowl in front of the young man.

It was a heavy ingot of gold.

"Thank you ma'am."

The young man didn't even lift his eyelids, his voice as indifferent as the wind passing over water.

"Hey young man, I'm going to give you more tonight, but... what if you don't want it?"

The mature woman's cheeks flushed, and as she lowered her body, her bodice widened, revealing a full and alluring expanse of snow-white skin.

"Let's do it another day, Madam."

The young man pocketed the gold ingot, then reached out his dirty hand and stroked the beautiful woman's plump thigh beneath her skirt, saying gently, "I have an appointment tonight."

"Hmph, whatever you say."

The mature woman pouted resentfully, gave the young man a few deep looks, and left dejectedly.

"Brother Ran, what do you mean?"

A dark-skinned, skinny boy approached and said, "Madam Tang comes to see you every few days, and each time she brings at least a gold leaf. Aren't you going to make that kind of easy money?"

"Don't worry."

Chen Ran gazed at the gleaming golden city tower of Tai'an under the blazing sun in the distance, a sharp glint unique to a "god-level expert" flashing in his eyes:
“I have my own rhythm.”

Chen Ran did indeed have a unique "speedy ascension to immortality plan" hidden in his mind.

because.

He is not a person of this world.

In his previous life, he was a civil engineering student on Earth with a bleak future.

While livestreaming his gameplay of a game called "Immortal Love," he rose to fame with his hardcore skills and superb understanding of the game, gradually becoming a game streamer with millions of fans.

The initial marketing positioning of "Immortal Love" was that it was a niche game aimed at otaku and using borderline themes as its selling point.

But as the game was officially released, word-of-mouth began to spread.

Its rich and innovative gameplay, grand and magnificent Chinese-style fantasy world view, and thousands of deeply moving storylines have made it a phenomenal AAA game that has swept the world.

As a tech-savvy gamer who wasn't interested in this kind of borderline romance game, Chen Ran only got into "Immortal Love" much later and accidentally became a top streamer.

As his fame grew, he received an invitation from a game company to participate in the closed beta test of the fifth major DLC, "Fairy Goes to Hell".

That day in the beta testing room, he played with incredible skill, conquering the final level, "The Underworld Palace," without ever reloading a save. Just as he was about to witness the true face of the female boss, "Nine Netherworld Queen," and uncover the biggest plot mystery in the mid-game—

Suddenly, everything went black, and I collapsed to the ground!
When I opened my eyes again, I was in a different world.

He actually transmigrated into the game world of "Immortal Love"!
The good news is: physical time travel.

There's no need to adapt to the unfamiliar body of a native from another world.

The bad news is...
The transmigration happened so suddenly that I forgot to delete the dozens of gigabytes of data I had treasured on my computer's hard drive!

He couldn't even imagine the incredible expressions on the police officers' faces when they opened his computer.
It's better not to return to this world!
He was confident that his life would be exciting enough!

Yes.

Three months have passed since he transmigrated, and he has confirmed three things:
First: The world we are in now is the Nine Provinces Great Realm in "Immortal Love", where every blade of grass and every tree is real.

Second: The current timeline is the summer of 883 in the Great Zhou calendar. At this time, the game's protagonist, Tang Haotian, has just accepted his father's dying wish to go to Mount Shu to seek immortality and ask questions, and has not yet encountered his first fairy heroine.

Third: The current coordinates are located in Tai'an City in the eastern part of the vassal state of Qi, which is the location of the game's prologue, "The Demoness and the Fairy"!
Even without any so-called "golden finger" (cheat code), these three points alone are enough for this top-tier player to seize the initiative—to intercept all the protagonist's romantic encounters with female characters, and to break through the barriers of heaven and earth in the fastest way possible, thus embarking on the path to immortality!
"The summer solstice has arrived. According to the game's timeline, Fairy Lin and that Holy Maiden of the Demonic Path should be at Tiandang Peak outside Tai'an City by now, right?"

Chen Ran gazed at the distant, undulating Tiandang Mountains, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Hush——"

Just then, a biting cold wind blew by.

next moment.

Snowflakes fell from the sky!
At this moment, the sun still hangs high in the sky, half of the sky is as warm as a furnace, while the other half is covered in cold snow. The scene is both bizarre and somewhat beautiful and dreamlike!

"It's snowing! It's snowing at this time of year!"

The skinny young man, Zhou Cheng, jumped up and down excitedly: "Snow in June must mean a great injustice!"

"It is not a great injustice."

Chen Ran gazed at the snow-covered horizon, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Acheng, could you do me a favor?"

"Brother Ran, just tell me what's wrong, we're brothers!" Zhou Cheng's dirty mouth was adorned with a simple and honest smile.

Chen Ran said solemnly, "Half an hour later, a young man surnamed Tang will appear at the south gate. He will be dressed in white, carrying a giant black iron sword on his shoulder, and accompanied by a flying blue sable beast. Once he enters the city, he will inquire about how to get to Tiandang Peak. And what you need to do is—"

“We can lure him south to the Thousand Leaf Stone Forest. Even if we can’t fool him, it will be enough to delay him for a while.”

"Besides, don't worry, this boy is an innocent and naive young man. Even if he notices something amiss, he won't do anything to you."

"No problem, I've got it covered!" Zhou Cheng patted his chest vigorously. "And what about you, Ran-ge?"

"I need to go to Tiandang Peak."

Outside Tai'an City, atop Tiandang Peak.

On the cliff, two beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, faced each other coldly.

"Witch! You have committed countless evils and harmed my righteous disciples. Today, I, Lin Yuewei, will act on behalf of Heaven to rid you of this scourge!"

One of the fairies in white raised her eyebrows and shouted coldly.

She was about twenty years old, with her hair styled in a classic and dignified Taoist bun. Her snow-white dress was stained with blood, which trickled down the hem, suggesting that she was seriously injured.

next moment--

There was a "clang" sound.

The long sword slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.

Her long, slender, snow-white legs convulsed beneath her skirt, and she collapsed to her knees with a thud, unable to rise again.

"Fairy Lin, you are no match for me. Let your junior sister Xiao handle this."

An older woman's mocking voice rang out.

The one speaking was the woman in black opposite them.

Compared to the white-clad woman's numerous wounds, the black-clad woman appeared to be unharmed.

She wore a veil, revealing only a pair of alluring and enchanting peach blossom eyes. Her figure was tall yet voluptuous, and her impressive bust could not be concealed even under the wide black robe.

"Luo Yuling! How dare you be so arrogant!"

Lin Yuewei held her head high, her expression resolute: "You've fallen under my 'Icy Demon-Slaying Curse.' For half a day, you won't be able to move an inch!"

"That's right, I am indeed powerless to kill you now! But before I went up the mountain, I sent a message to Young Hero Tang. He has already arrived in Tai'an City and will personally kill you shortly!"

"The Frostbite Curse Brings Snow in June, what a magnificent sight!"

Luo Shenggu squinted at the swirling snowflakes. "Lin Yuewei, I never imagined that you, a disciple of Cihang Sword Sect, would violate the 'Great Land Covenant' established by the First Human Emperor and my righteous and demonic paths, and cast such a forbidden spell in a mortal town! Do you know how many mortals in Tai'an City will freeze to death after tonight? Especially those homeless beggars and vagrants on the streets, they will be the first to suffer."

"I"

Lin Yuewei's pretty face darkened, and she bit her lip tightly: "Things have come to this, I can't care about anything else. I just want you, you vixen, dead!!!"

"Heh." Luo Yuling sneered, "Lin Yuewei, you keep talking about upholding the righteous path, but this time, in order to achieve your goals, you indiscriminately kill innocent people. How are you any different from the demonic path?"

"Admit it, you just want to prove to your teachers that you're no less capable than your junior sister Xiao, and that you should be the 'Holy Maiden.' As for right and wrong, Lin Yuewei, you don't care at all!"

"Shut up, you vixen! I'm not jealous of Junior Sister Xiao! I'm not! I...I'm going to kill you!"

As if struck on a sore spot, Fairy Lin's Dao heart collapsed, and she became hysterical.

Just as the two women were about to draw their swords.

In the distance, a leisurely and clear young voice drifted over:

"Never mind, it's not easy for anyone."

The two women were greatly shocked and turned to look back.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes, a tall and slender figure walked leisurely up the hillside with his hands behind his back.

It turned out to be a disheveled little beggar!
