Cultivating in Online Games Novel

In "Cultivating in Online Games," Dugu Zhuo's life is shattered by tragedy: his skills, kinship, friends, father, and beloved Ye Zhou are all lost. Clutching a spirit jade containing Ye Zhou's soul, he searches the world for Ye Zhou's remnant soul to reunite with him in the afterlife. As his lifespan dwindles, he enters an illusion where he rescues Ye Zhou from monsters, only to be accused of stealing their drops. He then encounters Ye Zhou again in the holographic game "Nine Heavens." This "strange player" is clueless, never logs off, and stares at Ye Zhou intensely. Ye Zhou, mistaking him for a handsome newcomer, apprentices him and teaches him game mechanics. Unbeknownst to Ye Zhou, a server-wide announcement reveals that Player Ye Zhou has triggered the final game plot, "Sword Tomb," and unlocked the final boss: Dugu Zhuo. Ye Zhou is stunned to discover his apprentice shares the same name as the game's ultimate antagonist.
