Chapter 98 Mysterious Key
Looking at this post on the forum, Lu Xun fell into deep thought.
His time is precious. Would he go out of his way to ruin other people's missions just because of some old grudges with the Emperor Guild?
——Yes.
Of course, this would be when he was free. If there were more important things to do, these old memories could be put aside. After all, for him now, the Emperor Guild could just cheat him whenever they wanted, right?
To be honest, he didn't have much grudge against the Emperor Guild. He was just annoyed by the vice president and some rumors spread. There was no need for him to cross mountains and seas and travel thousands of miles to the Three Thousand Mountains to cause trouble.
However, he wanted to do this mission, and it was already in his plan. He just didn't expect that this mission was triggered early by players during the internal test.
Generally speaking, mid-grade and high-grade yellow equipment had no appeal to Lu Xun. Didn't he just stuff low-grade blue equipment like the Yin Pearl into the hole in the scabbard?
But Lu Xun was very interested in the top-grade yellow outfit as a reward for this mission, and was even determined to get it.
Even if other players have completed this task, he will find a way to trick them into giving him this yellow outfit!
Because it appears to be a yellow suit, but in fact... it is a key!
This thing is of great use to Lu Xun!
So, it’s not that I’m petty or that I hold a grudge, it’s just that the reward for this mission is too tempting!

After closing the forum, Lu Xun began to recall the details in his memory.
Regardless of whether it is a large or small guild, after completing a more difficult task, they will generally post on the forum.
The purpose is to get attention, but the former is to prove "I'm really awesome, do you want to be our fan?", while the latter is "Look, I'm actually not bad, do you want to join us?"
As a lone ranger, Lu Xun often studies these posts, not only to learn and keep up with current events, but also because he can occasionally find leaks. Some hidden tasks seem to have been completed, but sometimes there will be a chain reaction, and other tasks can be triggered!
He had seen too many posts like this, and if this task hadn't been so impressive, he probably wouldn't have remembered it. After all, it was unrealistic to remember every detail.
The guild that completed this task in the previous life was called the Two Date Trees Guild, and the president was most likely a die-hard fan of Xun Ge'er, or a hater.
The sentence written by Xun Ge'er is still very famous:
"There are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree."
In fact, the content is slightly different from the original text . In the original text "Autumn Leaves", the measure word used is "植", not "棵". The basic meaning has not changed. The meaning of this sentence is... Lu Xun doesn't understand what it means anyway. Different people have different opinions.
Lu Xun had never forgotten the name of this guild after taking a look at it. Later, he had contact with the president once or twice. He was really a fan of Brother Xun. He could recite Brother Xun's famous sayings!
As for where the key mysterious man wanted in the mission is, Lu Xun also has an impression of him.
If he remembered correctly, the reason why this guy was able to escape wanted in the past few years was because he was a ruthless person.
Didn’t the leader of Tianque Sect slap him with his palm, leaving a red mark on his left hand?
This mark could be detected by the disciples of Tianque Sect. In order to escape from the influence of Tianque Sect and avoid being searched, he cut off his own hand...
Of course, in addition to cutting off his hands, he also used a series of other methods, and in the end, he really managed to run away from the Sanqian Mountain area.
But in the end, he was seriously injured.
Logically speaking, he should be basically safe, but the players who received the mission were cheating. They didn't need to check if you had a mark or something like that. As long as the player with the mission came into contact with you, they would get a prompt directly - [Ding! Mission target found].
Of course, if the NPC is powerful and strong, the player will not be able to get the prompt if the level is not high enough. But who told him to waste most of his cultivation?
After sorting out his thoughts, Lu Xun calmed down and stopped thinking about this task. He had enough time to complete it. The most urgent task now was to get the experience of the dungeon in front of him and try to leave his name at the top of the list.
After seeing this task, he became more eager to upgrade. Otherwise, just traveling would be very hard. After learning how to control objects, he could ride on the scabbard of [Sword Qi Near]. Not only could he ride, he could also fly into the sky!
Lu Xun didn't know how Ji Li performed in there, but since she hadn't been teleported out of [Turtle's Longevity] for such a long time, she must have performed well.
It's amazing to say, I had never heard of an NPC named Ji Li in my previous life, but with Lu Xun's time travel, her life trajectory was changed abruptly. With her talent and Lu Xun's help, it would be difficult for her to remain unknown.
“It turns out that I have changed the fate of many people without realizing it.” Lu Xun said in his heart.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a white light flashed and Ji Li was teleported out.
Her face was pale, and for several moments just now, she felt like she was between life and death. She was still breathing heavily, her body rising and falling, which was a bit too eye-catching.
"How is it?" Lu Xun asked.
"It's so difficult!" Ji Li said to Lu Xun while calming herself down.
"Have you used up all three trial opportunities?" Lu Xun asked again.
"Yeah." Ji Li nodded.
Although the process was thrilling, she felt that she benefited a lot, figured out a lot of things, and realized a lot.
"Lu...Lu Xun!" Ji Li called him softly and secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Lu Xun had told her before that she didn't need to call him Junior Uncle-Master when there were no one else around. This made her extremely happy, as if being able to call him by his name already made her satisfied and happy.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xun asked.
Ji Li looked at him, like a thief, and tried to stand on tiptoe, trying to get close to his ear, and said in a very soft voice:
"It's a formation with many variations. You know I'm not very smart. It took me a long time to remember a few small rules. I'll tell you secretly!"
She wanted Lu Xun to break more formations and rank higher on the leaderboard, otherwise it would be somewhat embarrassing for him given his identity and status.
“Doesn’t this silly girl know that everyone is in a different position after entering the trial ground?” Lu Xun was annoyed.
And because of the special nature of [Turtle's Longevity], it was useless for her to remember these things.
But after all, it was Ji Li's intention, so Lu Xun didn't intend to tell her the truth, so he changed his words.
He said sternly, "Ji Li, [Turtle's Longevity] is the training ground of my Demon Sect. The purpose of our coming here is training. It would be best if we can get a good ranking, but it doesn't matter if we can't. Don't treat it as a game!"
When Ji Li heard this, she felt that Lu Xun's image in her heart had been elevated a little bit, and she nodded vigorously and solemnly.
“Very good, now it’s time for my game, I must get a good ranking!” Lu Xun flicked his sleeves and said to himself.
