Chapter 205: 205, [Dirty Lolita]

People really do differ in how much they’ve seen of the world.

If these players had witnessed the second senior sister’s “One Leaf Blocking the View, Fails to See Mt. Taishan” sword strike, they wouldn’t be so taken aback by Lu Xun’s leaf-dancing march right now.

But of course, these newbie players haven’t had much worldly experience, and exclamations of “Holy crap!” echoed incessantly.

Just look at them, they lack not only worldly experience but cultural refinement as well.

Of course, when someone with 10 Charisma performs such feats, it does indeed appear rather impressive.

He didn’t display any extraordinary power, but the visual impact was far from negligible.

The players waiting near Red Mountain County were stupefied, wondering: “Can I do that if I play long enough?”

“If I level up diligently, can I be as cool as him?”

Lu Xun could roughly guess the thoughts running through these silly players’ minds. He glanced around and spotted several players from the significant guilds and professional gamers whom he recognized.

In the game, they are the most perceptive bunch.

After all, while others play Heavenly Dust for amusement, they treat it as life, as work.

If they don’t play the game well, they’re doomed to eat dirt!

“There must be some guild members and professional gamers I don’t remember,” thought Lu Xun.

This is precisely one of his objectives. Rather than roaming the world looking for talents, why not let the talents come running to him?

The reason he painstakingly learned so many low-level skills, which were of little use to him, was to attract the attention of guilds and professional clubs.

Ordinary players might not consider the combination of skills when forming teams to fight monsters, but guilds and professional clubs most certainly would.

Consequently, Lu Xun’s worth exceeded all other NPCs who taught newbie skills by a wide margin!

The content of the Demon Sect Faction Task was clear: Demon Sect players were to achieve a top-three ranking in the Sect Wars.

The task offered substantial rewards, including a full five Random Special Attribute Points, comparable to the rewards given to Lu Xun when he destroyed the altar.

To accomplish this task, he had to cultivate an exceptional team of players.

Of course, even without this task, he’d still be rearing a large number of underlings. With the task, he was even more motivated.

At present, in his view, players were more than just tools; they were fresh vegetables for sale by the roadside.

He had to meticulously choose the cream of the crop and add them to his basket.

First, he needed to comb through those within the range of the Demon Sect. He certainly couldn’t miss any good catches in his own backyard before going off to poach from others’ gardens.

“This Cai Jiangjiang is quite decent,” Lu Xun thought, his gaze settling on a slightly petite figure among the crowd.

Based on his past life’s memories, this Cai Jiangjiang was a professional gamer and sometimes ventured into live-streaming.

The gaming industry had drastically changed since its early days, and some could even be termed as gaming celebrities or e-sports stars.

Without a doubt, Cai Jiangjiang was one of them.

She was nurtured and promoted by her own guild, molded as the petite and sweet model.

Having a youthful appearance despite surpassing the age of a Lolita and donning Lolita clothing styles, she followed this path of cultivation and packaging.

She often wore Lolita-type clothes and cute little skirts, which many men found irresistible.

In terms of looks, she was among the more attractive of the female professional players, and her skills were quite good.

Her popularity did not hinge on her great ability but primarily on her excellent tactical sense.

There’s a saying: those who play tactics have dirty minds.

Therefore, despite her cute appearance and seeming kickability up to five meters away, she actually had a mind for scheming!

This, however, did not ruin her persona. On the contrary, the players enjoyed watching her playing the coy while scheming.

A Lolita-dressed old fox.

Quite an intriguing character, isn’t she?

“If my memory serves me correctly, this Cai Jiangjiang once made it to the ‘Top Ten Tactical Masters’ ranking,” Lu Xun mused.

But as far as he could recall, the sect she later joined seemed to be Luotian Sect — not the Demon Sect?

Did she initially spawn in the Demon Sect’s territory and later join the Luotian Sect for some reason?

It’s plausible, as similar situations aren’t uncommon.

Or perhaps… was this a change brought about by the closed beta?

As Lu Xun pondered these questions, he watched the eager players before him.

He still adopted the same approach as before; as long as there was wine, he would enable the skill learning for players.

However, unlike before where he would directly transfer the wine into his storage ring, he now opened each jar of wine to take a sniff before sealing it again.

As expected, there seemed to be guild players and professional players nearby who had specifically come here.

Because the Eagle’s Claw was no longer in high demand…

Many players arriving in groups were noticeably choosing skills that would facilitate their coordination during the game.

Even though they could only see the names and general introductions of the skills during the learning process, their professional intuition allowed them to truly understand the minimal information provided.

Players queued orderly to give him wine, and Lu Xun reaped wave after wave of Experience Points.

Finally, his experience points broke through the hundred-thousand mark!

Even though each skill could only bring few experience points, the number of players made up for that!

“I indeed am a genius, this is much quicker than laboriously doing tasks.”

“I knew it, the period of mass player arrival is when I truly start to shine!”

Among the crowd, the petite Cai Jiangjiang occasionally tiptoed to glance ahead. Finally, it was her turn.

As she handed over her wine to Lu Xun, her large, watery eyes stared intently at Lu Xun, subconsciously trying to act cute.

Unfortunately, Lu Xun was now an NPC, and in the eyes of an NPC, all players were automatically classified as “ordinary.” Thus, her efforts were fruitless.

But in Cai Jiangjiang’s heart, she was genuinely attracted to handsome, mature men.

Apart from that, Lu Xun’s white gown and his refined yet somewhat leisurely demeanor truly fascinated her.

Lu Xun took the wine jar from her and opened it as usual. But this time, there was something different. After sniffing it, his face showed faint surprise, and he took a precautious sip.

“Great wine!” Lu Xun announced out loud.

While internally, he remarked: “Super freaking awful. Tastes like horse piss.”

After showering praises, he promptly adjusted the Favorability rating.

The following prompt appeared in front of Cai Jiangjiang:

“Unknown (in deep yellow color), Favorability towards you +5!”

Cai Jiangjiang cupped her face with her hands, forming two small fists. With a shocked and delighted expression, she let out a soft squeal.

As Lu Xun smiled at her, he wondered internally, “With my current strength, how far could I kick her?”

Tsk, a faux Lolita. She’s not nearly as cute as Mao Nanbei.
