I recalled the internal martial arts cultivation method (TL Note: A cultivation method for internal energy, common in Wuxia and Xianxia genres) from the game.
It was a Naegong Simbeop that could only be used when I selected a female character.
‘The limits of my martial arts define the limits of my world.’
As the cultivation method was long and profound, it took a considerable amount of time to memorize.
Why did I memorize it, you ask?
It was because I had to manually input the method every time I needed to use it in the game.
Having written it down in a notepad and referencing it each time I entered it, I eventually memorized the entire thing at some point.
‘Martial arts serve as the framework for perceiving and understanding the world, and the scope of the martial arts I wield is precisely the scope of the world I perceive.’
Slowly, I recited the Naegong Simbeop from the game.
As I did, a tingling sensation spread through my lower abdomen.
‘Could it be… my period?’
I was momentarily flustered by this unfamiliar sensation.
‘These are stray thoughts. I must cast them aside.’
Allowing stray thoughts to intrude while reciting a cultivation method can lead to Qi deviation (TL Note: A phenomenon in martial arts or cultivation where internal energy goes awry, leading to physical or mental harm). This is common knowledge, even in wuxia novels.
Regaining my focus, I concentrated on reciting the incantations of the cultivation method.
Once I had recited all the incantations, I felt a distinct change within my body.
Just below my navel, a mysterious energy, unmistakably mine, began to coalesce.
‘Is this… the Dantian (TL Note: An important energy center in the body, central to internal martial arts and spiritual cultivation)?’
When I willed the energy to move, it obeyed my command.
I glanced at the chat window.
–Alpba Anim: What the hell? Did you just create a Dantian?
–Pulled Out A Mountain: How did you do that???
–Don’t Swear: No way, is that even possible?
–Primate GOAT: That’s impossible unless she bought the cultivation method beforehand, right?
–Why My Hometown: I’m speechless, lololol.
–No Navel: What did I just witness;;
–Ruthless Dumpling Slayer: That’s Grandmaster-level talent!
–Go Paraplegic Master: Is this for real?
The reactions were explosive.
When I attempted to move the Dantian’s energy to my hand, it flowed there naturally.
‘Then, from here…’
I placed my hand on the Constellation True Name Identifier.
‘I’ll channel this energy into the paper.’
The energy flowed into the paper as I intended.
Immediately after.
Fwoosh—!
The paper emitted a brilliant blue light, filling the entire studio apartment.
“…That’s the answer.”
–Why My Hometown has sponsored 2,000 Coins!
[Sponsor Message: This is really worth paying to see. I gave you the mission fee and a viewing fee, lol.]
–Ruthless Dumpling Slayer has sponsored 1,000 Coins!
[Sponsor Message: This truly is a historic moment worth paying to witness, indeed.]
–Go Paraplegic Master has sponsored 1,000 Coins…
–Primate GOAT has sponsored 1,000 Coins…
–Alpba Anim has sponsored…
–Don’t Swear has sponsored…
–Not An Octopus has sponsored 1,000 Coins!
[Sponsor Message: Pretty. Face. And. Talent. Very good. Haha!]
Sponsor messages poured in relentlessly.
–Pulled Out A Mountain has sponsored 2,000 Coins!
[Sponsor Message: Wow, this is even more surprising than my true name being revealed, lololol.]
Even Pulled Out A Mountain, whose true name I had correctly identified—in other words, Xiang Yu—was astonished and contributed a sponsorship.
“Thank you for the sponsorships. I’ll do all the reactions before I end the broadcast. But is this really so astonishing?”
–Not Charcoal Not Witch: Is that even a question;
–Don’t Swear: Yes, this is definitely worth paying to see, indeed.
–Alpba Anim: Lol, she does something absurd and then goes, “Hmm, is it really that big of a deal?”
–Bed Is English For: Seriously, I just found my dad, lol. That’s how big it is.
–Millionaire from One-Season Business: It’s Grandmaster-level, I tell you! No one would believe someone who couldn’t even sense mana suddenly created a cultivation method.
–Go Paraplegic Master: What’s more, this cultivation method is far from ordinary. It could rival the most expensive ones in the shop.
“No, I…”
Even with all their words, I honestly couldn’t grasp the true significance of it.
After all, I simply used a cultivation method that appeared in a game.
‘And it was an adult game, at that.’
The game this cultivation method originated from was an adult game (TL Note: A Japanese portmanteau for ‘erotic game,’ referring to video games with sexual content).
It was indeed *that* adult game, where failing to use the cultivation method during combat immediately triggered an explicit scene.
‘I can’t possibly tell them this.’
I didn’t create the cultivation method; I merely used the one from the game. It’s not as if I possess any inherent talent for martial arts.
…They probably wouldn’t believe me even if I did.
“Well, I just got lucky.”
–Why My Hometown: This isn’t something you can just brush off as ‘I got lucky,’ lololol.
–Ruthless Dumpling Slayer: I just clipped this and uploaded it, lol. You’re famous now, kiddo, haha.
I checked the clip uploaded by Ruthless Dumpling Slayer.
[Title: Video of a Hunter Who Couldn’t Even Sense Mana Creating a Cultivation Method (No Lies)]
[Creator: Ruthless Dumpling Slayer]
[Views: 1,027]
[Comments: 327]
“Insane.”
It hadn’t been long since it was uploaded, yet it already had so many views?
I watched the video.
It showed me sitting with my eyes closed.
After a few seconds of sitting still, my body suddenly began to emit a faint glow.
No wonder they immediately assumed I had created the cultivation method.
‘So this is what happened.’
Then, the light intensified, radiating brightly from behind me.
It felt as if a halo was forming.
Before long, the light faded, and the video ended as I opened my eyes.
Since it was a scene I hadn’t witnessed myself, it was quite entertaining to watch.
I checked the comments.
–Lalala: No way, why is this real?
–Won’t Eat Without Meat: I thought it was a lie, but it’s actually real.
–Turns Human When Drunk: Legendary legendary legendary, lolololol.
Beyond these, most comments were reactions of shock at witnessing such an unbelievable scene.
Before I knew it, the number of constellations watching had increased from 50 to 100.
–Grass-Type One Piece: Is this the person who supposedly created a Grandmaster-level cultivation method by themselves?
–What Kind of Nation Are We: And they couldn’t even sense mana before, is that true?
Perhaps because they were new constellations, their tone was polite.
–Mom Looks Like A Woman: Yep, and there’s a high chance she’s a virgin.
“Why do you keep bringing up ‘virgin’? Get out of here, you bastard.”
–Mom Looks Like A Woman has been banned.
Seriously, that’ll make my viewer count drop.
I could feel mana steadily gathering in my Dantian.
Initially, I thought it might be my period, but it was actually the sensation of the Dantian forming as I cultivated the method.
‘Now that I think about it, when will this body have its period?’
Since I’ve become a woman’s body, it’s something that will happen someday.
‘It’s not now, so it’s fine.’
Menstruation is a concern for later anyway. There’s no need to worry about it now.
For now, I need to focus on the broadcast.
–Plant Love Squad: So, have you named the cultivation method yet?
–Don’t Swear: Oh right. What’s the name of the cultivation method?
Ah. The name of the cultivation method.
Let me reiterate, I saw this cultivation method in an adult game.
I saw it in an adult game. I said it twice because it’s important.
As it was a cultivation method from an adult game, its name was far from normal.
‘It was probably called the ‘Sow’s Battle Cry Skill,’ I think.’
There was a scene where the protagonist, when telling the enemy the name of the cultivation method, exclaimed, “Ah, the Sow’s Battle Cry Skill! It’s the Sow’s Battle Cry Skill!”
…I really don’t want to use that name as is.
At the very least, I want a name I can proudly say in public. I can’t exactly go around saying that in real life.
Yet, no suitable name for such a cultivation method came to mind.
‘Wait a minute, this is a perfect opportunity to rake in some cash!’
A brilliant idea flashed through my mind.
“Alright! This isn’t an opportunity that comes every day! A chance to name a cultivation method! The constellation who sponsors the most will have their suggested name chosen for the cultivation method!”
I was crowdfunding the name of the cultivation method.
–Primate GOAT: Lol, you crazy b*tch.
–Don’t Swear: No, lolol, that’s *your* martial art!
“Alright, alright. The auction starts now for five minutes! The name suggested by the highest sponsor will be chosen!”
–Feel-Good Potion has sponsored 100 Coins!
[Sponsor Message: Yin-Yang Harmony Skill, let’s go.]
–Mom Looks Like A Woman: No, that’s just the s*x Divine Art, lolololol.
–Feel-Good Potion: s*x, lol.
“Ah! As I speak! Mom Looks Like A Woman has just sponsored one hundred coins!”
–Wheelchair Best Driver has sponsored 110 Coins!
[Sponsor Message: If I win first place, you’d better be ready, lol.]
And so, the auction for the cultivation method’s name began.
****
“Three, two, one! The auction has ended!”
Exactly five minutes later, the auction concluded.
Though I yearned to prolong the bidding and receive more sponsorships, doing so risked exhausting the constellations currently watching.
I didn’t need a huge amount of coins, and this was certainly enough.
I now possessed 21,250 Coins. Combining the coins I’d siphoned – no, *earned* – from the auction with those received for creating the cultivation method, I had accumulated over 20,000 Coins.
The constellation who would name the cultivation method was Primate GOAT, who had secured first place by sponsoring a hefty sum at the last moment.
–Why My Hometown: Ah, it wasn’t me, lol. Too bad.
Why My Hometown, who came in second, expressed some regret but didn’t seem particularly bothered.
I had worried about how I’d handle it if they became enraged, but that concern proved unfounded.
–Primate GOAT: So, you’re really going with the cultivation method name I suggest?
“Of course. Feel free to name it anything.”
–Ruthless Dumpling Slayer: What if they suggest something like ‘Big Boob Divine Art’?
–Don’t Swear: It’d be funny to make it 500 characters long, so it’s hard to memorize, lol.
Other constellations offered their opinions, but Primate GOAT did not entertain such suggestions.
–Primate GOAT: I’d like a name related to the cultivation method’s content. Can you summarize its essence for me?
“Certainly. The core idea is that the limits of one’s martial arts define the limits of one’s world. To explain in a bit more detail…”
I summarized the cultivation method for them.
–Mom Looks Like A Woman: Clean summary.
–Wheelchair Best Driver: The content is profound, isn’t it?
–Why My Hometown: She usually acts like a crazy b*tch, but why is this cultivation method so noble?
“Crazy b*tch? I’m usually quite gentle and refined, you know?”
–Pulled Out A Mountain: ? lolol.
–Millionaire from One-Season Business: No BS.
–Bed Is English For: Seriously shameless, lolol.
–Ruthless Dumpling Slayer: A ‘gentle and refined’ person like that got caught doing a birth-giving reaction in the Association building?
Ignoring the fiery chat, I checked Primate GOAT’s messages.
–Primate GOAT: Hmm, so it means to discuss the world through martial arts.
–Primate GOAT: Your martial arts are your perceived world.
–Primate GOAT: You were a normal person, then became a Hunter, expanding your world by a stage, and it will continue to expand. So it’s an ascending martial art?
–Primate GOAT: Let’s just go with Mujeukmansangsingong (TL Note: Martial Arts as Myriad Phenomena Divine Art, meaning ‘martial arts are the phenomena of my world’).
He explained that it meant martial arts were the phenomena of my world.
–Primate GOAT: The name might seem boring, but I can’t mess around with a cultivation method’s name, lol;
‘Is he a constellation from China?’
Earlier, other constellations were snickering with names like Yin-Yang Harmony Skill and Big Boob Divine Art, but he was truly serious about naming the cultivation method.
‘Well, that suits me just fine.’
If something like ‘Big Boob Divine Art’ had actually been chosen, I would have been quite upset. Though it would still be better than its original name, ‘Sow’s Battle Cry Skill.’
With the cultivation method now named, the remaining task was to negotiate with Pulled Out A Mountain, my original objective.
“I ended up creating an internal martial arts cultivation method while talking about true names, but the bottom line is, I know Pulled Out A Mountain’s true name, don’t I?”
–Pulled Out A Mountain: Oh, right.
–Don’t Swear: ‘Oh, right,’ lolol. That’s *your* true name!
–Plant Love Squad: But it was so legendary, I can’t even remember it.
–Not An Octopus: Beautiful. Looks. And. Talent. She has it all. Finally. I just. Need to have her. ^^~
–Not An Octopus has been banned.
“Ugh, I told you not to use that boomer-style speech.”
His concept was truly tenacious.
“Anyway, it’s inconvenient for both of us if I keep asking for money regularly, right? So, I’ve brought in this feature.”
