As Dugu Zhuo expected, Ye Zhou's physiological functions recovered, and the Ye family was beaming again. Ye's father also bought a bunch of milder supplements for Ye Zhou to eat.
Ye Zhou had another nightmare that night, but most of his soul had recovered. It was completely different from that time, but he didn't sleep well, and he woke up the next day with a bit of sluggish energy, which didn't alarm his family.
Since he was not hospitalized, Father Ye encouraged Ye Zhou to play games again. The next day Ye Zhou logged into the game normally and saw Dugu Zhuo in Wushuangzong.
As soon as he saw Dugu Zhuo, Ye Zhou remembered the sentence yesterday that he can cultivate both. He felt a little uncomfortable. He quickly shifted his eyes to Baihu and rubbed his head to relieve the embarrassment.
"Roar!" Bai Hu resisted and shook off Ye Zhou.
Baihu: Can't you see it when you touch it so perfunctorily
Ye Zhou: "..."
Fortunately, Dugu Zhuo didn't laugh at him. Instead, he kept a respectful distance, posed in a very good-looking posture, and looked at Ye Zhou affectionately.
Ye Zhou was only embarrassed for a while, but couldn't resist Dugu Zhuo's constant temptation. He couldn't help leaning in front of him, and whispered, "It's just like what you said, just...a little bit of function has been restored."
In order to alleviate his embarrassment, Dugu Zhuo thoughtfully did not mention this matter, took him by the wrist and flew to the exclusive sect of the two, and sat on the steps outside the bedroom door to talk with Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou's heart was made up and down by Dugu Zhuo, Dugu Zhuo took his hand, his heart was lifted up, beating violently; Dugu Zhuo took him to fly, he breathed a sigh of relief, his heart beat calmly Dugu Zhuo took him to the door of the bedroom, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do; Dugu Zhuo sat outside the door with him, and Ye Zhou relaxed again, but felt a little more disappointed in his heart.
After several tosses, Ye Zhou's mood became messed up, and he didn't know what to do.
Dugu Zhuo asked, "Did your father say anything after he went offline yesterday?"
Mentioning Father Ye, Ye Zhou pulled himself together and said, "Did you guess something?"
Dugu Zhuo said: "I passed the main plot yesterday, you forgot to keep a distance in front of Uncle Ye because of me, maybe he has already seen some clues."
He naturally called Father Ye "Uncle Ye", and didn't care that Father Ye was hundreds of years younger than his actual age. The generational hierarchy in the world of cultivation is very chaotic, sometimes people who are hundreds of years old even call a disciple who has just started as an uncle. Dugu Zhuo has been called an uncle for too many years, and his face has long been thickened, and he looks down on seniority.
"You guessed right." Ye Zhou recounted what happened yesterday.
"Uncle Ye is a smart person." Dugu Zhuo sighed.
Ye Zhou jokingly said: "My dad said he can help you settle down, but you have to join my family."
"That's natural," Dugu Zhuo leaned into Ye Zhou's ear and whispered, "I've been married to you since the day I climbed the Star Crest Peak. In the main storyline of the game, I'm still your foster husband."
Ye Zhou's ears were a little itchy, he shrank his neck, and said in a low voice, "You don't need to get married, what age is it, how can there be such a feudal saying, I'm just joking."
Dugu Zhuo didn't push him too much, and stepped back a little, keeping a distance that reassured Ye Zhou, and said with some disappointment: "You can't get married, hey..."
"Why are you so regretful?" Ye Zhou patted Dugu Zhuo, "Speaking of business, we will try our best to get more people to choose to help you with the next main mission, so we must upgrade as soon as possible. The god general contacted and asked him to help us upgrade, so in the future my account is likely to be logged in by someone else."
"Others need power leveling, you don't need it." Dugu Zhuo said, "After I absorbed Dugu Yue's... father's skill, I have reached level 110. You have the supernatural power of the Su sword in your body, and the dual cultivation of the master of the Xuansu double sword. It will get twice the result with half the effort, much faster than their leveling."
Ye Zhou's ears turned red all of a sudden.
But Dugu Zhuo said seriously: "This is business."
Ye Zhou covered his face.
Dugu Zhuo said: "The souls you absorbed before are all remnant souls, and the souls can be easily fused. But after the fifth main storyline, I am worried that you will take back a large number of remnant souls at once, and it is very likely that the main body of the soul and the remnant souls will not be able to fuse. , appeared insanity. If you double cultivate with me, I will be able to enter your sea of consciousness and help you successfully subdue your soul."
Ye Zhou said something in a low voice, the voice was too small and seemed to be in his mouth, even with Duguzhuo's hearing ability, he couldn't hear clearly, only heard the word "no".
Dugu Zhuo said: "Of course, I'm not only thinking about your level and your body, I also..."
Speaking of this, his skin was as thick as Dugu Zhuo's, and his cheeks were slightly red. He coughed lightly, and finished his sentence firmly: "Of course I'm looking forward to it too."
Hearing that, Ye Zhou quickly raised the matter of two people's double cultivation to the meaning of life, raised his head and said anxiously: "But in the game, it's not my body either!"
So that's what he meant by "no" just now.
Dugu Zhuo lowered his heart slowly, held Ye Zhou's hand and said, "There are two ways of dual cultivation, one is dual cultivation in the traditional sense, and the other is limited to soul cultivation."
Dugu Zhuo's tone was unusually academic, which made Ye Zhou ask curiously, "What's the matter with soul cultivation?"
"It is my soul that enters your sea of consciousness. You and I blend together, like a Taiji diagram. You are in you, and you are in me. You are now a cultivator in the stage of transformation, and I will guide you. The upgrade speed of the game, after a few times of soul cultivation, you will be promoted to level 99." Dugu Zhuo said seriously.
Ye Zhou gradually accepted this statement, but he still had a doubt: "Is my soul in the game? Are all players' souls in the game?"
Dugu Zhuo explained: "Naturally not, otherwise, how could they be revived after death in the comprehension world. According to my guess, the state of the player in the game world should be that the game helmet copied the state of the player's soul, and put the clone in the game. The clone is connected to reality through the headset, allowing the player to manipulate the clone."
"Will the player be mentally traumatized if the clone is damaged?" Ye Zhou asked.
Dugu Zhuo said: "Naturally not. The player manipulates the duplicate body for too long, and the spirit will be fatigued, but it will not hurt the main body. Unless the game helmet fails and explodes, how can it be dangerous again?"
"So that's the case." Ye Zhou was more relieved after hearing this, so even if they took the players to the realm of comprehension, the players would be fine.
Dugu Zhuo said again: "But you are different, more than half of your soul is in the game, and your soul will be attracted into it by the game. So as long as you have a reason, you can only come to practice with my soul."
"Then am I a clone or a soul now?" Ye Zhou asked.
"When the pain can only be adjusted to 70% at the highest, it should be a clone. If your pain and touch can be adjusted to 100%, it is probably the real soul body." Dugu Zhuo speculated.
"I'm at 70% now, try to see if I can get to 100%, what should I do?" Ye Zhou asked.
"Use the method of detecting the divine consciousness that I taught you in the past when you were practicing, and imagine that the entire soul enters the game." Dugu Zhuo guided.
Ye Zhou's cultivation talent is very high. After he imagined silently for a while, he felt that he seemed to be different. He opened the setting interface, and saw that the pain value above was 100% and could not be adjusted.
Dugu Zhuo said: "Your current state is very dangerous. If you are injured in the game, your soul body will be really injured. Unless you need to cultivate your soul, you must not appear in the game in the state of soul body, understand?"
"Of course, I won't die like them. Wait, what are you talking about? Who agreed to cultivate your soul with you?" Dugu Zhuo wished to enter the game.
Dugu Zhuo held Ye Zhou's hand and slowly approached him.
"If you don't want to, you can leave the game at any time." Dugu Zhuo said in Ye Zhou's ear.
Ye Zhou gave him a symbolic push, and whispered, "Are you going to be outside?"
Dugu Zhuo chuckled, and with a wave of his palm, the two appeared in the room, and sealed the door with a formation.
With Dugu Zhuo's current skill, it is impossible for anyone to break through the formation he set up, even if the Tianzhu smashed the rocks, unless Ye Zhou wanted to leave the game himself.
But Ye Zhou didn't resist, he accepted Dugu Zhuo's suggestion to upgrade together.
That night, when Ye Zhou went offline, he was already a level 90 player.
