Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 133: Real or Fake? Should I Ask Customer Support?

Qingyun Sect—

It had been some time since Lu Changtian's dantian was destroyed.

At first, he wallowed in self-pity, but now he had mostly calmed down.

A few days ago, Daoist Qingxuan found him a pill that boosted his physical strength to the equivalent of the Qi Refinement Peak. However, the price was steep—his meridians were nearly shattered. Without restoring his dantian, he would only have five years left to live.

The Zhongzhou Secret Realm was his only chance.

"But even at Qi Refinement Peak, I'd be cannon fodder in the Zhongzhou Secret Realm… sigh."

Without strength, how could he stand out in the Secret Realm?

Without standing out, how could he catch the eye of a Holy Land elder and gain a fortuitous opportunity?

Inside his cave residence, Lu Changtian finished a set of punches and stared silently at his reflection in the pool—shirtless, his body now swollen with bulky muscles.

He hated this look.

He missed his former ethereal, immortal-like appearance.

But he had no choice.

"Changtian-gege~~"

A sweet voice came from outside the cave.

Lu Changtian's somber expression melted into a smile.

It was Mu Baishuang.

She had been visiting him every day.

Her companionship was the biggest reason he had managed to emerge from the shadow of his ruined dantian so quickly.

Her concern for him was genuine.

Just picturing her adorable, caring face filled him with renewed determination.

"Come in, Shimei."

He remained shirtless—after all, she had seen him like this plenty of times. Formality between them felt unnecessary.

Mu Baishuang bounced in with her hands behind her back.

The moment she saw his bare chest, her smile faltered slightly, and a flicker of disdain flashed through her eyes.

Perverted creep. Shameless bastard.

Does he think I want to see that every time?

But outwardly, she kept up her act—cheeks flushing, twirling a strand of hair by her ear, and pouting playfully:

"Aww~ Changtian-gege, your muscles are sooo impressive! Every time I see them, my heart goes thump-thump~"

Lu Changtian’s smile broadened with pride, but he quickly stifled it, coughing lightly.

"So, what brings you here today, Shimei?"

"Hehe, good news!"

With a playful grin, she revealed a scripture from behind her back.

"Look! I bought you a Body Refinement Technique from the sect's auction house. It cost me my entire savings! They say this one's incredible—quick, check it out!"

Lu Changtian stared at her radiant smile.

His heart ached with warmth.

Since his fall from grace, he had witnessed firsthand the fickleness of people—admiration replaced by mockery.

Only a few truly cared for him now: his master, a handful of junior brothers, and most of all, Mu Baishuang.

She visited daily, comforted him, and now had even spent every last spirit stone to get him this technique.

"Thank you… Shuang'er."

His voice was thick with emotion as he accepted the scripture, vowing silently to protect her at all costs.

Even though… he doubted the technique’s usefulness.

If even their master couldn't find a suitable Body Refinement Technique, how could she?

"Changtian-gege, promise you won’t tell Master I got this for you, okay~?"

Mu Baishuang leaned closer, her eyes glinting with an almost otherworldly charm.

"If Master finds out, he'll scold me for wasting money on random techniques."

Lu Changtian nodded and lowered his gaze to the scripture.

One look—and his eyes widened.

The technique was intricate, systematic—profound beyond measure.

It claimed that with sufficient meat intake, his cultivation would skyrocket.

This was no worthless trash technique!

"Amazing… truly amazing! The Heaven-Devouring Saint Physique Technique!"

His fists clenched, trembling with excitement.

"Shimei, you've found me a true treasure! With this, I’ll tear through the Zhongzhou Secret Realm! If the Holy Land elders notice me, they'll help restore my dantian—then, with both body and Qi cultivation, I’ll surpass my former self!"

"Hehe, helping you is my greatest joy, Changtian-gege~"

Mu Baishuang’s smile was dazzling, her beauty breathtaking.

Her gaze lingered on his elated face as she slowly backed out of the cave.

The Heaven-Devouring Saint Physique Technique…?

Her lips curled into a mocking smirk.

Fool.

The scripture clearly read—

The Heavenly Demon Gluttony Art.

The Next Morning—

“Bǎobǎo~ Dùdù~ Dǎléi la~♪” (Baby, tummy, it's thundering~)

The alarm blasted at 6 a.m. sharp.

Chen Huai’an shot up from bed like a rocket, lunging for his fully charged phone.

In one swift motion, he punched in his 64-digit password, opened a hidden folder, and scanned his fingerprint to log into his Virtual Girlfriend game.

【Lifespan Remaining: 49 Days】

【Today's Fortune: Minor Luck—Favorable for Romance, Unfavorable for Medical Visits】

"F***, what terrible luck!"

Chen Huai’an felt his vision darken.

But the next notification made his eyes sparkle.

【Your virtual girlfriend, Li Qingran, has sent you a little gift. It has been delivered.】

He turned his head—and sure enough, two packages had materialized on his bed.

It’s here!

The moment of truth!

With a swipe of his phone, he tore into the packages.

Inside—

A Storage Pouch and three scented sachets.

The sachets exuded a sweet floral fragrance with a hint of creaminess—pleasant, yet unfamiliar.

Chen Huai’an narrowed his eyes.

The material of the storage pouch—

He had never seen anything like it.

It wasn’t from the game store.

It wasn’t any outfit or item he had purchased.

So then…

Was this really from Li Qingran?

His Li Qingran…?

Or…

Could it be… her actual clothes?

No… he didn’t recall her wearing anything like this.

Wait!

It was too soon to jump to conclusions.

Chen Huai’an’s eyes flashed with calculation.

Maybe… I should exploit a bug and ask Li Qingran directly?

Or—

Screw it.

Why not just ask customer support?!
