My Virtual Immortal Girlfriend Came to Life from a Mobile Game

Concurrent fractures are a common symptom in bone cancer patients.

The destruction of bone tissue by cancer cells causes the bones to become soft and brittle, making fractures easy to occur.

Eventually, this happened to Chen Huaian.

After enduring so much pain, he became somewhat numb to it.

The physical pain was still within his tolerance, and the emotional pain was nothing compared to it.

Chen Huaian felt that nothing could hurt more than the incident where his parents perished in a sea of flames.

So, amidst the concerned gazes and inquiries from surrounding tourists, Chen Huaian calmly adjusted the camera and said to Zhang Rui, who was supporting him, "Buddy, do me a favor, open my backpack."

"Come on, buddy, call an ambulance already, why are you worried about your backpack?" Zhang Rui had never seen anyone like Chen Huaian, acting as if the fractured and deformed leg wasn't his own.

"You can shout for an ambulance, but it won't reach here. Just open my backpack, I have my own way."

Half-believing, Zhang Rui took down the backpack, unzipped it, and handed it to Chen Huaian.

Chen Huaian pulled out a bag from inside and then took out a folding cane.

Zhang Rui: "..."

Other tourists: "???"

Seriously, buddy, this is your own way?

We thought you had some special painkiller or something...

"Alright, let's continue!" Chen Huaian skillfully used the cane to support himself.

The probability of fractures with bone cancer is high, so he often used a cane even before any fractures occurred, just in case he needed to adapt when it happened.

Now that it had happened, wasn't it just another way to embrace fate?

The viewers in the livestream silently liked and sent gifts, some advising the streamer to head back down the mountain. No one doubted the authenticity of Chen Huaian's illness anymore, or rather, they no longer cared what illness he had.

They only cared whether this brave man could make the most of his journey.

That bent right leg was like the oppression of fate, the mockery of death.

And the cane in Chen Huaian's hand was nothing less than a middle finger to death and fate.

Even if they wouldn't let him reach the summit, even if they crippled his leg, he would still strive to reach the top.

The tourists watched the figure struggling upward with great respect.

This young man's determination surely meant he had grand ambitions, right?

"Charge ahead! We're about to get the 90,000 sponsorship fee! 1,000 draws to explode the Lucky Koi prize pool!!!" Chen Huaian gritted his teeth as he looked at the diminishing steps, his face gradually becoming fierce: "Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill! Ha ha ha! Just a mere Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill!!"

The surrounding tourists felt even more admiration.

Look how much pain this young man is in, his features are all twisted!

At the summit of Mount Tai.

When Chen Huaian's trembling leg landed on the last step.

A faint light, not yet mature, pierced through countless clouds, spreading from the dim horizon, gently brushing over his head.

A flock of birds flew through the light.

A bell's toll echoed among the distant mountains.

In the next second.

A sunrise burst forth from the horizon, its radiant light spreading wide, illuminating the entire world.

Chen Huaian's eyes widened, his heart trembling, and the surrounding tourists stopped their conversations.

Everyone quietly watched this scene, watching as the hazy mountain outlines were gilded with a layer of gold.

Suddenly.

"Bow——!!!"

A solemn shout rang out from an unknown source.

A strange ripple appeared in the sunlight.

The halo was like a stirred lake, rippling with waves.

Within the ripples, a procession of ancient ceremonial guards emerged amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

The leader stood tall and dignified, clad in a dark dragon robe, wearing a crown with tassels, a sword hanging at his waist, followed by civil and military officials. The civil officials held ceremonial tablets, the military officials wore dark armor, and attendants carried ritual vessels. They walked on clouds, with blue bricks and tiles appearing beneath their feet, step by step approaching the summit of Mount Tai.

"What the heck, what is this?"

"Is it a mirage?"

"No, is someone filming a movie here?"

The tourists were dumbfounded, watching this scene. At this moment, the ceremonial procession was still far from them, and they still had the mind to discuss. In the next second, the procession suddenly spanned several miles and appeared right in front of them. The summit of Mount Tai fell silent, not a sound could be heard, and everyone closed their mouths.

Something was pressing down on them, making them unable to move or speak.

Chen Huaian stood frozen, watching the majestic emperor approach him.

He couldn't see the emperor's face clearly, only feeling something teasing his eyes, leaving them blurry.

The ceremonial procession passed through the crowd of tourists, like smoke and mist, elusive and untouchable.

They walked their path without looking sideways, as if a scene from another time and space appeared before them, gazing through the long river of history yet not affecting each other.

Initially, Chen Huaian thought so.

Until the emperor came before him.

Just before passing through his body.

The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes lowered, and his golden vertical pupils met Chen Huaian's gaze.

Chen Huaian's scalp tingled, he swore, the emperor was definitely looking at him, it wasn't a coincidence!

He could even feel the scrutiny in the emperor's gaze!

But the eye contact lasted only a moment.

The emperor passed through Chen Huaian's body, and with his ceremonial procession, gradually disappeared into the thin mist at the summit of Mount Tai.

...

...

The mirage at the summit of Mount Tai sparked a heated discussion across the internet, quickly reaching the top of the trending topics.

Experts analyzed that it was the ceremonial procession of the First Emperor.

The mirage displayed the scene of the First Emperor's ritual at Mount Tai.

As for why this ancient historical event was reflected in the modern era.

Experts have yet to come up with a better explanation.

But as the saying goes, "The wise do not speak of strange forces and gods," the final explanation will surely be very scientific.

Chen Huaian didn't pay attention to the online uproar, nor did he care about being glanced at by the mirage. As a staunch materialist, if someone told him there was a female ghost in his house, he would immediately go downstairs to the supermarket to buy a box of Okamoto 001.

Not for any other reason, just to contribute a little to biodiversity.

The level 57 boss kept his word, and 66 'Drum and Dragon City' gifts had been credited, expressing gratitude to Chen Huaian for letting him witness an ultra-rare mirage he wouldn't see in several lifetimes. Just this life experience alone was worth all the gifts.

He also promised to support all of Chen Huaian's future activities.

Chen Huaian felt great, he loved this kind of true fan boss.

With the livestream task completed and his phone battery exhausted, he simply said goodbye and ended the stream.

"Bro, how do you plan to get down the mountain? Take the cable car or get carried down?"

After this incident, Zhang Rui was completely in awe of Chen Huaian.

He used to not believe anyone could be called a dragon among men.

Now he believed, Chen Huaian was already at a superhuman level in his mind.

"Of course, I'll take the cable car," Chen Huaian replied.

Nowadays, many college students come to Mount Tai to offer climbing companionship services, and there are people who carry others down the mountain.

He chose the cable car because it was cheaper and faster, eager to get down the mountain and recharge to see his virtual girlfriend.

Speaking of which, he now had 120,000 in his account. Although doing this kind of livestream was tough, it showed a way to make money. However, his illness was difficult to treat, amputation was certain, and the survival rate after amputation was low. The attending physician who issued his critical illness notice didn't explicitly say it, but from the implications, it seemed to have already spread. So, was it worth spending money to gamble on this illness? Should he work hard to earn money for chemotherapy and take a chance? Or should he just enjoy the present happily?

Chen Huaian pondered this matter as he was supported by Zhang Rui and several fans to the cable car.

The cable car ticket area was crowded, with both local tourists and many foreigners.

"FUCK!"

A curse rang out from the crowd.

It turned out a foreigner who cut in line got hit on the shoulder by a falling stone.

"Serves you right! That's what you get for not queuing properly!" Zhang Rui and the others laughed gleefully.

Soon it was Chen Huaian's turn to take the cable car.

This cable car could accommodate eight people at once.

Zhang Rui supported Chen Huaian as they were about to board, but saw that the cable car was occupied by a few guys with dragon and tiger tattoos, who didn't look like good people.

"Bro, are we still getting on?" Zhang Rui hesitated, looking at Chen Huaian beside him.

"Of course," Chen Huaian said nonchalantly.

Although these guys didn't look like good people, they just didn't look like it. What if the boss just liked having some birds and beasts tattooed on him?@@novelbin@@

You can't judge a book by its cover~

But just then.

Snap—, the string holding the protective amulet suddenly broke, and the amulet fell to the ground.

Chen Huaian was stunned for a moment and bent down to pick it up.

His movements were slow, and the guys in the cable car immediately started hurling some insulting remarks to hurry him up.

Suddenly,

Boom——!!!

The entire Mount Tai shook violently, the ground quaking and the mountains swaying.

The moment Chen Huaian grasped the protective amulet, he was thrown to the ground, rolling all the way into the ticket hall.

"Holy crap!!!"

"Get out of the way!"

He rolled with gritted teeth, something was crashing down from the ceiling above him.

"Ah——! Falling rocks!"

In a daze, he heard someone shouting, along with the screams of the crowd,

A deafening crash,

And the sound of the cable car glass shattering.
