Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 13: From Tianyuan (Part 1)
"How's it going? The country road is different from what you thought, isn't it?"
"Um."
"The enthusiastic villagers and the merchants and knights on the official road are enviable, right?"
"Um."
"There are more interesting things in the city. Do you want to see them? There are wonderful views there."
"Um."
"Can you say anything other than 'hmm'?"
"Oh."
"…Why do you feel such strong contempt?"
"Because I really do despise you. And can you please stop chatting with me all the time? I have things to do."
Li Lin couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the girl who was like a child showing off her toy car. As a mature captain, he had the responsibility and obligation to investigate what this other world looked like, and he also had to have a basic understanding of the surrounding environment.
But in the hands of this overly enthusiastic little girl, it basically didn't play any role as it should be. It just kept walking from one place to another, and then slowly walked towards the promised Taihang County. Along the way, I saw a lot of useless customs and people. It was completely different from the original Western magical background of Les Miserables. The endless paddy fields and farmers wearing straw hats were wonders that could not be seen in the original universe. The mountains and rivers in the distance also became a little more beautiful, and you could vaguely see the white road winding on the mountainside.
There were carriages and horses running on the official road, but it was not a place that ordinary people or rangers could go. It was a stone road specially used to transport various bulk goods. The big trees planted around were the real way for the rangers to move forward. The branches of these trees were unusually thick and lush, and even novices could jump on them to move forward.
It was a path that was very characteristic of the martial arts era, and it also incorporated some special abilities. However, all of this had nothing to do with the immortal path that Taiqing had agreed on.
...Then why did I watch it?
"It's been a long time since I last saw a list of attributes..."
When Li Lin thought about the attribute table, he felt very ashamed. Other players opened the attribute table eight times a day, hoping to arrange everything properly and solidly. But Li Lin only took a look at it after every major event. Now that the event was imminent and he had no skills left, he took a look.
Compared with the professionalism of other players, Li Lin felt that he had really fallen. He was spoiled by the feeling of mana being able to operate at will, and had forgotten what the most basic sense of professionalism was. But it was not too late to mend the situation. He felt that , he finally called up the attribute interface. But the data on it made Li Lin frown.

“…”
concise.
Too concise.
It's more like it's too concise, so I don't know what to say at all.
What's going on? Does this author have no idea about the word count? Is it really necessary to be so frugal with these numbers? And what the hell is this? Isn't this martial arts-style thing too different from the previous stuff? And can we at least have a fairy tale?
What the hell is that
Looking at his blank sheet of paper and the mysteriously mocking comments, Li Lin felt that this game really had that meaning. Was this considered finishing the Novice Village and reaching the Peak Level?
'We'll take it one step at a time.'
After all, Li Lin’s own strength is not the magical ability to manipulate magic. Li Lin believes that his greatest strength is wisdom.
When he was still an ordinary person, he could wipe out an elf territory without leaving any trace. Now that he has some extraordinary abilities and traits, and comes to this world of martial arts culture , Li Lin does not think that he can be suppressed to any extent. Moreover, Li Lin is more or less confident in his sword fighting skills.
At least in the idle player competition at that time, those players with auxiliary brains could not gain any advantage in sword fighting. Li Lin was born with a little talent for mastering this kind of weapon.
If he really follows the traditional rules, Li Lin doesn't mind showing his poor side.
But just as Li Lin was thinking about something, the girl walking next to him suddenly reached out and tapped Li Lin's head for some unknown reason, causing him to gasp.
"Hiss... it hurts, what happened to you?"
"It's annoying to see you acting like a brat."
The female warrior, who was wearing a brocade dress but carrying a sword while walking in the mud, turned her head away and muttered with an unhappy look on her face.
"You are just a child, looking thin and small, with that expression on your face. There is no way you will ever get married. You are so gloomy at such a young age. The matchmaker will say bad things about you when you grow up. Do you want to be a wild girl without a man?"
"Do I need to repeat my gender?"
"It doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman. I don't think that kind of expression is appropriate for you."
"…Not suitable?"
Li Lin turned his head to look at the cold light flashing in the forest, then he moved around the girl like flowing water and drew out the knife.
The sharp blade light instantly crushed all the hair-thin silver needles in the air. Amid the girl's screams, Li Lin calmly threw the blade back and looked at the unfriendly figures who were slowly standing up from the woods. The smile on his face became more sarcastic.
"It seems that there is no difference between here and me, strictly speaking."
Facing the attackers who came silently, Li Lin smiled slightly.
