Chapter 1278 - 563: Why Is Every Otherworld Chinese? I’m Sick of It_3

Just having one set of wind power is still too unstable. Now that Lin Li has a warehouse, he can safely buy stuff that's inconvenient to have delivered straight to his door—he can totally buy a few tons of diesel or other kinds of fuel, then get several diesel generators, haul them to the Cultivation Realm with the gourd, and provide power for the two of them.

Yeah it's basically "sitting around eating up the mountain," but it wins in convenience and efficiency.

The two approaches don't conflict at all. Lin Li is even planning next time to bring several sets of wind power equipment and leave them here for the two of them, just in case.

As for the computers, Lin Li took a look and saw there wasn't really any problem.

First, all these PCs are ones Lin Li bought "four months" ago, so in terms of usage they're only three-month-old new machines. Depreciation and wear wouldn't show up this early anyway. Second, the reason computers get laggier the more you use them—besides component aging—is mainly dust and temperature.

But for the Cultivation Realm, that's basically a non-issue.

Dust is impossible here; the bottom of the laptop is still squeaky clean. And then there's the Spiritual Qi flowing along with Shanqing Daoist's and Deng Wen's will—that's better than any water-cooling setup, almost like it pins the CPU at the most comfortable operating temperature.

If you turned Shanqing Daoist and Deng Wen into PC cases, who knows how much a single set would sell for.

Still, better safe than sorry. Next time he comes he'll just bring them a few backup machines anyway, plus more swappable parts for them to pick and choose from, whether it's to "improve their quality of life" or whatever.

After three months, Shanqing Daoist and Deng Wen have definitely become clearer about what they need. With their understanding of reality expanding—learning more from documentaries and stuff—they'll inevitably have a much better grasp on how to express their own needs.

Lin Li glanced at Shanqing Daoist's screen and found he wasn't playing any soul-like game, but a game called Balatro.

So he fell into the roguelike hole too, huh.

Oh, never mind, he's playing the Black deck on Gold Stake, currently at the D-start segment.

Looks like he's still in masochist mode.

A "-1 card per hand" buff—is that even for humans?

Back then Lin Li got lucky: on his very first D-run on Gold Stake he got Duplicate + Template Joker. Template Joker gives x1 multiplier for every empty Joker slot, so from the start he was running x5 x5, any hand he played got 25x, straight god-rolled into a clear.

But this game actually isn't in the list of soul-likes Lin Li recommended, so it looks like Shanqing Daoist "discovered" it on his own.

So Lin Li asked curiously, "Grandpa Shanqing, all those soul-likes I recommended before—did you already beat them all in these three months? And got bored of them?"

"Yeah, all cleared," Shanqing Daoist had been about to talk about something else, but on hearing that he couldn't help straightening his chest in pride. "After playing for a few months, honestly I think these games are pretty simple!"

"You're that good?" Lin Li didn't stint on the compliment.

Not surprising.

Some people look like kids on the outside but in reality are geniuses with brains far beyond ordinary detectives. Shanqing Daoist looks like an Old Deng on the outside, and in fact he really is an Old Deng, but unfortunately for you he's a Cultivation Old Deng.

Being able to quickly master these games—just goes to show that a tribulation-stage powerhouse is strong!

"Sure am!"

Shanqing Daoist couldn't resist stroking his beard. He pointed at Elden Ring in the game list and spoke up:

"Take this game for example. At first I thought it was a bit hard, but later I figured it out.

Lin Li, look at my build: Heavy infusion +25 on the Stone Greatsword Ash of War, +25 Godskin Stitcher with no Ash of War, +25 Fingerprint Stone Shield, Bull-Goat set, White Mask, Flame, Grant Me Strength, Golden Vow, Two-headed Turtle Talisman, Green Turtle Talisman +3, Lord of Blood's Exultation, Greatshield Talisman—absolutely invincible!

All I have to do is left-click to raise my shield and right-click to poke with the spear, and I sailed smoothly all the way to becoming Elden Lord!

Games—child's play!"

Lin Li: "?"

Holy crap, wheelchair build!
