I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

Section 029 Help Request

Zhou Yunshen said, "Captain Chen, go and calm everyone down and tell them not to cause any trouble. I'll rest here for a bit."

Captain Chen nodded upon hearing this and strode towards the crowd not far away.

His steps seemed very heavy.

Zhou Yunshen plopped down on the ground, silently chanting in his heart: "Return to Earth! I want to return to Earth!"

An overwhelming sense of disorientation arose.

When the feeling of disorientation disappeared, the scenery around Zhou Yunshen had become completely different.

He returned to the real world, back to his familiar rented apartment.

At this moment, it is nighttime in the game world, and it is also nighttime in the real world.

Under the warm orange light, Zhou Yunshen got out of bed, grabbed his new phone, and opened the Baidu Tieba app as quickly as possible.

Over the past few days, the Xuan Yuan Invasion forum has quickly become a gathering place for players, attracting a large number of them.

Zhou Yunshen prefers to lurk on Tieba (a Chinese online forum) and almost never posts there, but he does have an account.

Today, Zhou Yunshen, left with no other choice, posted a request for help in the Xuan Yuan Invasion forum:

Help! I've been targeted by a small cultivation family in Xiyun County, and my life is in grave danger. I urgently need rescue. Is there anyone kind enough to help me?

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yunshen added two more words to the end of the title: Paid!

Yes, it's paid!

He has no connection with these players in the forum, so why would they help him?

At this point, the best way for him to get help quickly is to spend some money and buy his life!

In that case, some players might lend a hand to him out of consideration for the money.

After writing the title, Zhou Yunshen began editing the post content: I am currently trapped in a mountain village called Dazhu Village by an array. The distance between Dazhu Village and Xiyun County is more than 200 li. Right now, there is a Xiantian martial artist watching from outside the array. Once the array is broken, he will definitely rush in and kill me! If any kind-hearted person can save me, I am willing to offer 10,000 yuan as a reward!

After editing the content, Zhou Yunshen clicked "Publish".

After all, in the game world, he and the villagers were in imminent danger.

Now is the time to race against time; every second counts.

After posting the message, Zhou Yunshen picked up his game console, rotated the screen to face the direction where the villagers were gathered, and yelled at the screen, "Does anyone have a detailed map of this area? Bring it to me right now, I need it very much!"

Zhou Yunshen was quite meticulous. When he posted the request for help, he realized a problem: players had never been to remote villages like Dazhu Village before and had no idea where it was located.

Let alone Dazhu Village, players probably haven't even heard of Xiyun County.

In this situation, even if the players wanted to come and help him, they wouldn't be able to find a place.

Zhou Yunshen's shout caused many villagers to turn and look at him.

Captain Chen walked over without saying a word, took out a roll of what looked like cowhide from his pocket, and handed it to Zhou Yunshen.

Zhou Yunshen controlled his character to take it, and then unfolded it to take a look.

Immediately, a rather rough-looking map appeared on the phone screen.

When Zhou Yun Shen saw that it was a map, he was overjoyed. He quickly picked up his new phone, aimed it at the screen of the gaming phone, and snapped a picture of the entire map.

After taking a picture of the map, Zhou Yunshen carefully examined it.

At the top of the map are several small seal characters: Map of Xiyun County, Luchuan Prefecture, Qingzhou Road, Daxuan Southern Kingdom.

At the very center of the map is Xiyun County, surrounded by rivers and mountains outlined with simple lines. Villages and towns exist among these rivers and mountains. At the edge of the map, a village's name is circled in red.

Zhou Yunshen looked closely and discovered that the village circled in red was Dazhu Village, where he was currently located!

"Not bad! This map is pretty good!" Zhou Yunshen looked at the map on his phone screen, quite satisfied.

In the game world, after Captain Chen handed the map to Zhou Erzhu, he saw that Zhou Erzhu was holding the map and looking at it very seriously. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything and turned to leave.

Zhou Yunshen opened the forum, intending to post the map in the help request thread, but hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not do so. Instead, he added the following information to the help request thread:

The specific location is: Dazhu Village, Xiyun County, Luchuan Prefecture, Qingzhou Road, Daxuan Southern Kingdom.

After sending these, all that's left is to wait.

Zhou Yunshen refreshed his help request post every few seconds.

After refreshing the page a few times, a hint of joy appeared on Zhou Yunshen's face because someone had replied.

Zhou Yunshen stared intently.

The Stray Sheep: "Dude, you're stuck in a formation with a Xiantian martial artist? That's really pathetic!"

Zhou Yunshen gave a wry smile and typed back: "Yeah, it's terrible. I was born in a small mountain village, and I can't even leave the village. A Xiantian martial artist might be nothing to you, but to me, they're practically a big boss. I can't beat them at all. Brother, please help me out! There's a reward; you won't lose out."

The Wandering Sheep: "Dude, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you're in Xuan Nan Kingdom and I'm in Da Qian Kingdom. We're separated by thousands of miles. By the time I get there, your corpse will probably be rotting."

Zhou Yunshen: '...'

He felt somewhat helpless.

The Xuan Yuan Realm is vast, much larger than Earth in terms of area. It is home to numerous forces, large and small. Some forces exist as nations or dynasties, while others are large sects or powerful families. Some areas are occupied by countless monsters and spirits, where demons run rampant and humans find it difficult to venture.

On the forum, some players compiled a map showing the distribution of power in the Xuan Yuan Realm. Zhou Yunshen saw this map while browsing the forum and even saved it.

Judging from this power distribution map, there are about a hundred large and small forces in the Xuan Yuan Realm. Each of these forces, taken individually, is a behemoth...

Zhou Yunshen ignored the stray sheep and pulled out the power distribution map of the Xuan Yuan Realm from his phone.

Not long after, he found his home in the Great Xuan Southern Kingdom.

To be precise, it should be Xuannan Kingdom.

The word "big" at the beginning contains a degree of self-praise.

Well, among the more than one hundred large and small powers, Xuan Nan Kingdom's territory is not small, but it is not large either; it can be considered a medium-sized country.

Zhou Yunshen then found the Great Qian Kingdom where the wandering sheep lived.

The Great Qian Kingdom is a country of medium size, separated from the Xuan Nan Kingdom by several other countries.

The situation was critical, and Zhou Yunshen had no time to look at the power distribution map. He returned to the forum interface and continued to refresh his help post.
