Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

"We are going to jail, we are going to jail, please don't break our legs!" the three of them cried out.

"Xiao Sanzi, tie them up and send them to the government." Xue Tianhan ordered Xiao Sanzi. In his opinion, sending them to jail was enough for them to bear.

"Yes." Xiao Sanzi obeyed.

"Congratulations, young man, for catching two thieves. You only need three more to complete the task of catching thieves. Come on!" Old Zhi suddenly appeared and said.

"Uh, why are you out again?" Xue Tianhan was surprised, because this Zhi Lao appeared behind him out of nowhere.

"Who?" Hu Meiniang asked in confusion when Xue Tianhan asked this question for no reason.

"I just came out to give you a reminder. I'll be leaving soon. I'll be leaving soon." Master Zhi replied.

"Nothing, let's go." Xue Tianhan replied to Hu Meiniang. Since she couldn't see Zhi Lao, Xue Tianhan didn't know how to explain it. Could it be a ghost? The problem was that Hu Meiniang was a fox spirit in the Nascent Soul stage, so she could see even a ghost.

"Why go back? Now that we're here, why not wait here until night and relax?" There were only the two of them and Xiao Huang left at the scene. Hu Meiniang hooked her hands around Xue Tianhan and said in a charming voice.

"Witch, stop disturbing my master's mind! Otherwise I will go back and tell Sister Xiaoqi." Little Yellow Grandma shouted fiercely.

"Hmph, Brother Tianhan didn't say anything, but you, little puppy, are angry?" Hu Meiniang let go of Xue Tianhan and said to Xiao Huang.

"Of course, I have to keep a good eye on the master for Sister Xue and Sister Xiao Qi!"

"Hey, Tianhan is still your master. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Don't think that brother Tianhan is honest with me. He is just shy. Maybe he really wants me to be a little more charming to him!"

"Is this really the case?" Xiao Huang shook his head and asked Xue Tianhan a little confusedly.

"No, don't listen to her nonsense, let's go." This question is very serious. Xue Tianhan believes that what Hu Meiniang said is the dream of many men, but it is just a dream. In fact, only when you really fall in love will you know what it is like.

"I wish to win the heart of one person and be together till we are old." That is enough!

After returning to the inn, Xue Tianhan heard from Duan Dao that the new enrollment meeting would begin in a few days, and asked the players to hurry up and prepare.

"Are there any new strategies?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Yes, but not many, because most of the players have only been in the city for a short time, and this is the first enrollment meeting of the academy in the city." Blunt Knife replied.

"Then tell me in detail."

“The first thing to do is to find a cheaper inn as a transit point, and then hurry up to apply for a temporary residence permit. Otherwise, if you still don’t have a temporary residence permit after three days in the city, you will be kicked out of the city.

Once you have a temporary residence permit, you need to work hard to earn money. Once you have enough money, you can go to the relevant department to verify your capital. Once the verification is passed, you can apply to buy a house in the city. Of course, buying a house is not the ultimate goal; it is only a prerequisite. The ultimate goal is to apply for a residence permit in the city.

However, according to the rules, if the house you buy is big enough, multiple people can live in one room, so it is recommended to buy a house in a team, which is more cost-effective.

Here we need to explain why we need a city residence permit. That is because only those with a city residence permit are eligible to attend the enrollment meeting.

There are two points to note, however.

1. There should be quite a few people verifying their capital during this period, so you must hurry up.

Second, each college's enrollment is based on residence permits, so when buying a house, you must pay attention to whether there are good colleges in the area.

"Why do I feel like this is almost like a child going to school?" Xue Tianhan said bluntly.

"That's right, those planners are too lazy. Many people say that their approach is just copied from reality." Blunt Knife also agreed.

"What is the process for the enrollment meeting? What should we pay attention to?" Xiao Qi asked again.

“No one has tried this before, so all we can say is some rules and some guesses from people who know how to play.

The rules are a three-day competition of strength. Each academy will release its enrollment quota at the start. Anyone who is eligible to attend the enrollment meeting at this time is eligible to go to the academy to obtain a place. However, once you obtain a place, you must stay in the academy. Because others have the right to challenge you, you must defeat them to keep your place.

Fortunately, you only need to defeat five challengers in a day to avoid being challenged again that day. Therefore, some people suggest asking your friends to challenge you as well, thus using up the number of times you've been challenged.

There are also regulations on the time to initiate a challenge and the number of challenges each person can have.

时间为中午12点到2点，晚上19点到21点，次数每人每天3次。

It is said that there are 12 colleges recruiting students this time, and the best four are City Primary and Secondary School, City West Primary School, City East Primary School and City South Primary School.

There are a total of 1,000 places. The above four colleges will each recruit a class of 50 people, and the remaining 800 places will be divided equally among the other 8 colleges.

This raises a major issue, because so far, there have been at least tens of thousands of players entering the city. There are definitely too many people and too little resources, so the competition will definitely be fierce."

"So when is the next enrollment?" Xiao Qi asked with concern. If the enrollment meetings were held frequently, the pressure of competition would be much lower. However, if there was a long interval between enrollments, the pressure would be minimal this time, and the competition would only become more intense later.

"A month later, this is pretty much the same as reality. The next class won't be able to enter until this class successfully advances. So everyone is saying they're going to risk their lives to get into the academy this time."

"Um, does that mean that when we enter the cultivation academy it will be like attending classes as usual? Oh my god, this will be so boring." Xue Tianhan thought of a terrible question. Will this still allow people to have fun?

"Wrong, this is very different. Generally speaking, it's a bit similar to college. It's easy and free, and if everything goes well, you can graduate in one quarter."

"That's good. Then I have to hurry and catch the thief." Xue Tianhan breathed a sigh of relief and said with an idea.

"Catch a thief?" everyone asked in confusion.

"Yes, I have a mission to catch five thieves. After that, I can buy a house in the west of the city without having to go through the hassle of verifying my capital."

"By the way, I also received two tasks, but they looked very difficult, so I ignored them." Speaking of tasks, Xiao Qi was reminded and followed.

"Have you ever met a tour guide, like a guy who appears and disappears mysteriously?" Xue Tianhan asked curiously.

"No, there's just an elf-like AI that sometimes jumps out and then pops up a dialog box that only I can see." Xiao Qi said after thinking for a while.

"Oh, then let's go catch the thief together."

"Where can we catch it? You're new here, do you know where to find it?" Xiao Qi asked in surprise.

"That's not a problem. There must be one in the wet market or shopping mall."

"The question is, are there any vegetable markets or shopping malls here?"

"I don't know. Let's ask the waiter first." Although it was true, it was a game after all, so Xue Tianhan was not sure.

After some inquiries, Xue Tianhan discovered that there was really no vegetable market or shopping mall here, but there was a market called Ximen Market. This market served as a vegetable market, but it was only open in the morning.

In addition, there is an exchange at the end of the market street. The function of the exchange is similar to that of a shopping mall, but the difference is that the commodities traded in one are daily necessities, while the other is equipment and medicine.

It was afternoon, and the Ximen Market was empty, so Xue Tianhan, Xiao Qi, and Lady Green Snake came to the exchange. Of course, Xue Tianhan had brought Xiao Qi with him, but for safety reasons, Lady Green Snake followed.

Just from the name, you can tell that this exchange is not simple. It is called Linlang Ximen Branch. I guess it is just one of its chain stores.

A little in front of the entrance of the exchange stands a lifelike golden bull, with its front feet reaching up to the sky and its hind feet kicking the ground, giving the impression of a bull that is about to fly.

The front of the exchange is supported by eight huge brass pillars, which looks very imposing at first glance.

With such luxurious decoration, there are naturally many people coming here to trade. Xue Tianhan and the others still had to squeeze in.

"Have you heard? Someone bought a meridian-expanding pill from the exchange, and after taking it, he was immediately reborn, rising two levels in a row and becoming one of the top ten players in the player rankings." There were two people in front of Xue Tianhan who were communicating, and one of them said.

"Everyone knows this, but it's something you can't find easily, and it's very expensive. I can't envy it."

"Tsk, you're really ignorant, aren't you? Pulse Expanding Pills are scarce elsewhere, but they're not in short supply at Linlang's trading chain stores. I bet as long as you have money, you won't have to worry about not being able to buy Pulse Expanding Pills here."

"real or fake?"

"Even pearls aren't this real. You probably don't know this, but the Linlang Trading chain stores are spread all over the country. They dominate the area where our country's medicinal materials are based, so the trade in the Vascular Expansion Pills is basically contracted to them."

"Is that so? Then I'll sell everything I have to scrape together enough money to buy a Meridian Expanding Pill to try it out."

"I see you're well-equipped, you're not short of money, are you? Why would you bother buying a Meridian Expanding Pill?"

"Brother, you don't know this. I sold almost all the goodies I found in the Lost Forest, and then I bought this set of equipment."

"That's a shame. I'm still holding onto it, waiting to collect enough so I can exchange it for a Meridian Expanding Pill to change my fate."

……

"Tianhan, here are some meridian-expanding pills for sale. Shall we buy them all?" Xiaoqi heard the conversation between the two and whispered while pulling Xue Tianhan's arm.

"It doesn't seem like the more the better. I read in novels that three pills are enough for one person, because the effect of the Meridian Expander Pill is best the first time you take it, and the effect gets worse the more you use it, and there won't be any change at all later on." Xue Tianhan said after thinking for a while.

"Then buy ten. You and I will each have three, and the others will be kept as backup."

"I don't know how much one coin costs yet."

"We're not short of money, so it doesn't matter how much it is!" Xiao Qi said with a grin.
