The Cultivation Game's Big Boss and His Daily Life Raising a Dog

The game "Cultivation" has been popular on a distant planet for thirty years, becoming almost a second world to its players. Then the System suddenly updates with a task for all players: At 00:00 on September 9, a long-term quest will open: Win over Jiu Fengyi, the Great Elder of the Great Sword Sect and the number one sword cultivator in the Ten Continents of Qiwut.

The rewards are so generous that players flock to the Great Sword Sect.

In an overlooked corner, a scruffy little puppy accidentally swallows a game chip.

After a crackle of electricity, the System stiffly announces: [Welcome to the world of "Cultivation". Enjoy a life of adventure.]

The puppy's ears shoot up as it searches for the source of the voice. Then the ground suddenly disappears beneath its feet, and it tumbles into an unfamiliar place.

At the disciple recruitment ceremony, Jiu Fengyi picks up the little creature that has rolled to their feet. "Hm? What's this?"

The puppy opens its mouth. "Ruff!"

Jiu Fengyi says, "Oh, it's a puppy. Why is it so ugly?"

The puppy scrambles around. "Werwerwer!"

Jiu Fengyi tucks the dog into their arms. "Mine now. I'll call you Jiu Wanli."

The puppy cries, "Awooooo... woof!"

A few months later, a post appears on the player forum: "5,000 gold coins to whoever can kill Jiu Fengyi's dog! That little brat is the worst. It's pooped on my foot five times already!"

Top comment: "Sure, it's a little brat, and sure, I want to kill it too. But you need to know that the dog tag around its neck holds three sword intents from Jiu Fengyi. The last player who tried to kill it was cut into a vegetative state. 5,000 gold coins can't buy the dog's life, but they can buy a player's life T T"

Jiu Wanli: If you knew my mom was Jiu Fengyi, you'd be jealous of me too. Hehe!
