Pulao's Cultivation
Mission accomplished and trial session successfully concluded. We look forward to seeing you next time...
With the robotic voice signaling the end, the white light grows stronger and the surroundings slowly dissipate, reverting back to the original room.
We did it—wait...? What?
Wh-what's going on? How are we back here already?
Seated, you casually show Pulao the little booklet you just snagged from the chair's crevice.
"That's the whole story." What's that supposed to mean? And what is this thing?
Confused, Pulao steps closer and takes the booklet from you.
Kowloong's newest virtual reality system, engineered to transport you into a preset virtual world. Simply sit on the device to activate...
Ah, so that whole adventure wasn't really us stepping into the novel's world, just a simulation crafted by this device?
Pulao pouts, clearly disappointed.
Hmm...
Pulao frowns, her pout softening reluctantly.
Well, that's one way to put it, and it's not wrong...
You turn to Pulao, who still looks slightly upset, and awkwardly imitate some gestures you saw from the scene earlier.
Hehe...
Pulao sheepishly scratches her head, her usual grin returning.
I don't need to be some legendary immortal—just being able to protect the ones I love is enough. It doesn't matter if I'm an immortal or just a Construct.
You see, those immortals in the books? They're so powerful that enemies won't even dare to blink the wrong way at them. Honestly, I get a little jealous.
...Yeah! That's right, Commandant! I am Pulao after all!
Whether in reality or in dreams, I won't stop pushing ahead.
There's an old saying in Kowloong: "Constant dripping wears away the stone."
Mark my words, the legend of the Great Immortal Pulao will make a comeback one day!
The pages of the novel on the table dance briefly in the breeze before settling on the final page where the author's note lies.
Maybe everyone from Kowloong secretly harbors a dream of immortal cultivation.
Here's hoping that every reader of this book carries with them the dream of a world where they can be the hero, bringing peace and salvation to all.
