Chapter 177: Scabbard Tonic
The paper cranes are still flying in the sky. Wu Ji Mountain is in the far north, and the journey is long.
These past few days, Lu Xun was a little tired of flying.
"Sir, you are such a fool. Why do you ask me to go to Wuji Mountain, which is so far away? It will take so much time to go back and forth!"
Fortunately, the mission reward was generous, which gave him motivation.
At this moment, the sky is gradually becoming gloomy and it is about to rain.
Lu Xun urged the paper crane to fly downwards, ready to take a rest and not force himself to travel in the rain.
What if you get struck by lightning when flying so high?
Don't think this is a joke. After the public beta, some players, in order to seek excitement, specifically chose such stormy weather to go up into the sky, and then were struck by lightning until they were burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. The kids next door were so envious that they cried!
It is true that practitioners have great supernatural powers, but most of them are still very insignificant in front of nature.
Stupid players can do whatever they want, but Lu Xun can’t.
For him, this is his only weakness compared to the players.
Of course, he can make up for this weakness with his own advantages, that is, relying on the identity of NPC to make players work for him, and then let the stupid players die for him.
His idea was simple: "Players all want to die, so if I don't let them die for me, am I still a human being?"
The paper crane came into a cave with a "whoosh" sound. Lu Xun activated his spiritual power and roughly cleaned the cave.
Didn't he learn two whole rows of low-level skills in the transmission tower before going down the mountain? He had originally planned to teach them to the players after the public beta.
He later discovered that there were many very practical life skills among them, and [Dust Removal] was one of them.
The wind formed by spiritual power quickly cleaned the cave, which was better than any vacuum cleaner, sweeping robot, etc.
For ordinary people, this [Dust Removal Technique] is definitely a coveted magical skill.
Lu Xun opened his palms, and the spiritual power gathered into a ball of light in his palms, bringing light to the surroundings.
This is [Illumination].
The light ball produced by this skill can only provide illumination and does not have much killing power, and is just a little hot.
Of course, if it is accompanied by a sentence: "I said, let there be light!"
That seems to be quite pretentious.
At this moment, Lu Xun felt that it was quite good to have learned two whole rows of bookshelves of low-level skills. At least it was very practical.
He felt that he could now serve as most of the household appliances on his own...
Awesome, right?
"Fourth Senior Sister." Lu Xun said to Mao Nanbei, "Do you want to go around and see if there is any game?"
When hearing that he had to cook, Mao Nanbei immediately transformed from a lazy domestic kitten into a hunting cat and rushed into the rainstorm to look for prey.
The rain naturally couldn't wet her, and with her spiritual power blocking it, her clothes wouldn't get wet.
Soon, she caught three rabbits.
The rabbit is so cute and it works so hard to hide from the rain, why don’t we roast it and add some spiciness to it?
Before long, the aroma of roasted rabbit filled the cave.
Lu Xun was eating while his mind was wandering, but he was actually browsing the forum.
Now that the public beta is not far away, the forum of "Tianchen" has become more and more popular.
Until now, Lu Xun has not seen Mo Guanji post in the forum again.
“Could this kid still not escape the fate of sudden death?” Lu Xun thought in his heart.
"Could it be that he didn't die suddenly while playing Sky Dust, but became addicted to other games while waiting for the public beta, and then died anyway..."
Lu Xun was quite concerned about his sword-serving boy.
It’s not that he has feelings for her, after all, they haven’t known each other for long. Mainly, he thinks Mo Guanji is quite useful.
“Forget it, let’s wait and see if this thing will go online after the public beta.” Lu Xun had no other choice. After all, he couldn’t post or communicate with others.
As his sword boy, Mo Guanji was equivalent to a registered disciple. With the display of the [Master-Disciple Interface], once online, Mo Guanji's name in Lu Xun's [Master-Disciple Interface] would change from gray to bright.
If it stays gray, then it means you have either quit the game or died suddenly...
As for his other registered disciple, Han Bagui, Lu Xun suspected that this fellow might have forgotten about his cheap master.
After finishing reading the novel he was following on the forum, Lu Xun cursed the author in his mind no less than ten times, with the core words basically being "short", "fragmented" and so on.
You know, the speed of time on Tianchen Continent is different from that on Earth, which caused Lu Xun to wait for updates on the forum to be extremely tormented! Ten times the torment!
Before closing the forum, Lu Xun went to check out the Emperor Guild's posts. Quite a few beta test players had signed up for this mission. The Emperor Guild also expressed confidence that they could put to death that wonderful creature that had transformed from a man into a brothel owner.
When the public beta comes, they will find that the key characters in the mission are marked as [Dead] after they log in. I wonder how they will feel...
These days, Lu Xun watched the forum and found a not-so-good trend, that is, the popularity of [Purple Palace] was decreasing.
This is also normal. For players, they are just virtual characters after all. Most players have never seen themselves. They have only seen a few screenshots in the forum. How can they keep thinking about them all the time?
However, this phenomenon will naturally improve after the public beta.
Charm 10, invincible.
Lu Xun sometimes even wondered if there was anyone in this world who would be willing to kill him?
It doesn’t feel impossible…
After the heavy rain outside continued for a while, the sky cleared up.
There was even a rainbow appearing in the sky.
Mao Nanbei jumped a little, as if he could see more clearly by jumping, and said happily: "Little Junior Brother, Little Chan'er, look, there is a rainbow!"
Lin Chan also opened his little mouth and uttered a silent "Wow~"
Even in the world , people are amazed by the magical sight of nature.
Lu Xun took out a paper crane from his storage ring and threw it to the side. With a "biu~" sound, the paper crane grew bigger.
Just as everyone was preparing to sit on the paper crane, the black rope on the scabbard began to flutter and gently rubbed the back of Lu Xun's hand.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xun asked.
The black rope on the scabbard first pointed inside its own scabbard, and then pointed to the northeast direction.
"Are you saying that there is something over there that you want to eat?" Lu Xun asked.
The black rope on the scabbard moved slightly, as if nodding.
"Is it far?" Lu Xun asked.
The black rope stretched out, then waved, drawing a relatively large arc, indicating: "It's that far!"
Lu Xun couldn't understand it either, but he estimated that it should be quite a distance.
"Your perception is quite sharp." Lu Xun said with a smile.
Obviously, the scabbard's perception range is probably wider than that of the cat, which is a bit magical.
The black rope on the scabbard continued to rub against the back of Lu Xun's hand, launching another coquettish offensive.
After being alone for a long time, I finally came across something that can satisfy my cravings and provide nourishment. I really want it.
"The sword energy is approaching, and your wife is really endless in her coquettish behavior." Lu Xun said in his heart.
“Then... let’s go and take a look?” Lu Xun said to Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan.
Lin Chan is very well-behaved. I go wherever my master goes.
Mao Nanbei is keen on making trouble, so naturally he has no objection.
Lu Xun and the others sat on the paper cranes, followed the guidance of the scabbard, and slightly changed direction, flying toward the northeast.
After flying for a while, they saw a small temple in the mountains called Shuiqian Temple.
Mao Nanbei frowned slightly, his cat ears stood straight up, and said, "Junior brother, there is something strange about this temple."
