Li Long scanned everyone and spoke in a deep voice.
The crowd looked at each other, and only two people raised their hands, one man and one woman.
Seeing these two raise their hands, everyone was shocked. They actually had cultivators among them!
They thought everyone was a soldier and wouldn't have much time to play games.
Coincidentally, these two were relatively young to become officers.
"What are your cultivation levels, can you describe them in detail?" Li Long asked seriously.
"I'm at the Foundation Establishment Stage. I played it by chance nine years ago and only played for a few days."
"I'm at the Golden Core Stage and played for about half a month."
The man was at the Golden Core stage, while the woman was at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Some people listening to these cultivation levels were completely bewildered because they weren't cultivators and didn't understand their significance.
"Then can you explain the stages and their corresponding powers?" Li Long asked quickly.
Right now, what they needed most was knowledge about cultivation.
Nowadays, the world was changing, no longer the peaceful era it once was, and a new round of wars might break out.
The man nodded and immediately shared everything he knew.
When people heard that at the Body Refining stage one could lift a hundred-thousand-pound boulder, that at the Foundation Establishment stage one could control some magic, and that at the Golden Core stage one could even stand in the void with unparalleled power, they were all stunned.
Going further, the power of the Nascent Soul was comparable to a nuclear bomb, the Divinity Transformation could destroy any nation, and the Mahayana had the power to destroy the world at will.
Such realms made Li Long's head buzz and left others at a loss.
When the man finished speaking, silence overcame the room, which then erupted into an uproar.
"What should we do if everyone really has this kind of power?"
"Yeah, this kind of power is terrifying. If just playing a few months of a game can give you powers comparable to a nuclear bomb, the world would be in chaos."
"We need to make plans immediately, or the whole world will be in turmoil. We must first ensure our own country stays stable."
"There are already many crimes outside, as they use that extraordinary power to commit crimes."
The crowd fell silent again, all eyes turning toward Li Long.
Li Long was pacing back and forth in the meeting room, pondering a solution.
Very soon, he got an idea.
"Now, we must establish a new department. I've already thought of it, called the Cultivator Department, to recruit cultivators nationwide. To limit those cultivators, we have to rely on cultivators."
"First, check if any of our people are cultivators, gather the soldiers together first, then the general public, and then schools. Establish cultivator schools; a new era has come, an era of nationwide cultivation!"
...
Qindu University.
Now, all faculty and students had filled out the forms, and according to the statistics, the university staff were stunned.
Throughout the entire school with a total of 15,000 teachers and students, more than 3,000 had manifested cultivation, becoming cultivators.
Seeing that there were over 3,000 cultivators in his school, Li Chun was at a loss for words in excitement.
He was smart; the moment he heard the news, he knew the world would drastically change, and these so-called cultivators would become the pillars of the nation in the future.
"I never expected that our school would have more than 3,000 cultivators; it's truly shocking."
Li Chun's words left all the teachers and students below the stage in shock.
"Holy crap, more than 3,000 are cultivators, that's incredible! But why can't they include me?"
"Haha, I'm one of them, Body Refining complete, now I feel like my entire body is full of strength."
"I'm stronger than you, I'm at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
"Can you big shots take me along?"
"Waa waaa, I also really want to become a cultivator."
Seeing former classmates, roommates, and colleagues suddenly become cultivators beyond their reach, those who never played the game "Cultivation Life" were very envious at this moment, with more feeling regret.
If they had played that game at the time, they would be cultivators like them.
Alas, there's no medicine for regret in this world.
Chen Lan looked at the changes in expression on everyone's faces on the playground. Some were delighted, some sad, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
He didn't expect that sticking to the game would actually make him the strongest person; he wondered if anyone here knew him.
However, when he reached the top of the rankings, 99% of the players had already left the game, and the world channel was empty.
Presumably, no one should recognize him, and he wondered if those few fellow Taoists would remember him.
"Mahayana, there's a Mahayana!" At this moment, the teacher in charge of statistics suddenly shouted.
She was also a cultivator, at the Foundation Establishment level.
Hearing this, everyone looked over in unison.
Those cultivators were especially shocked.
Mahayana Stage!
This is a very formidable presence, costing a lot of money to reach.
In the game, the later the realm, the harder it is to advance. To reach Mahayana, you need at least half a year of playing, or else spend money, or have a top player guide you.
The students who thought they were invincible at Foundation Establishment or Golden Core suddenly fell silent.
The Mahayana Stage, enough to completely overpower them all.
Who could it be?
"Yan Yu!" The statistics teacher exclaimed as she looked at the name on the paper.
The name was familiar to everyone; it belonged to the most beautiful teacher at Qindu University, Yan Yu!
In an instant, all eyes turned towards the woman with a stunning appearance, hair in a single ponytail, a tight pencil skirt, black stockings, and black high heels.
Yan Yu did not flinch, only nodded slightly without saying a word.
No one expected this most beautiful teacher on campus to actually be a Mahayana stage player!
"Yan Yu, please say a few words on stage." The principal hurriedly said.
She was, after all, the only powerhouse in the school.
Seeing the principal's respectful demeanor, other teachers felt mixed emotions. It seemed Yan Yu's status would be extraordinary in the future.
Yan Yu did not refuse, she slowly walked to the stage, took the microphone handed by the principal, and began to speak:
"Now the game manifests; those who played the game will become cultivators, but I urge you not to misuse your power to commit crimes, to bully ordinary people, or to think you are the strongest because someone is always stronger than you."
At this point, a memory surfaced in Yan Yu's mind.
It was five years ago when she first played that game after graduating from university, trying to find a job while she played out of boredom.
That day she happened to meet an enthusiastic player who took her through the game, gave her many items, fought monsters with her, and formed a bond of cultivation with her, allowing her to reach the Mahayana stage in a short time.
Even when she left the game, he would occasionally send her equipment and items, leaving messages until the game finally ended, he was still saying goodbye.
But she didn't know how strong this master and Taoist partner was now; she only remembered that before she left the game, he had reached the Celestial Immortal stage!
But as soon as Yan Yu finished speaking, a voice suddenly boomed in the sky.
