Lu Xun simply ignored Cai Jiangjiang’s attempt to act cute.
There’s a real cat-eared loli at home, who cares about your fake loli?
Aren’t cat ears satisfying to touch?
But the plan has to continue.
After casually adjusting Cai Jiangjiang’s favorability level, Lu Xun modified the teaching panel.
After obtaining 5 points of favorability from the White Emperor, Cai Jiangjiang was surprised to find an option that others did not have — the Qi Consumption Technique!
The basic cultivation technique of the Demon Sect, Qi Consumption, lay quietly in the teaching interface. She could learn it if she’s willing to spend the required experience points.
Cai Jiangjiang is a typical “Pink to Black” – where she appears sweet and innocent on the outside, but hides a darker side within.
Don’t be fooled by her innocent exterior, she’s seen it all.
At this moment, her long-silent heart began to thump wildly!
The introduction to the Qi Consumption Technique clearly states that it is the basic technique of the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect! One of the three major demonic sects!
Before the game’s closed beta testing, some information was revealed on the forum. In addition to the information obtained after closed and open beta testing, players have a basic understanding of the major forces in the Heavenly Dust Continent.
The name of the Demon Sect was renowned!
This is akin to offering the opportunity to join the Demon Sect faction!
For most professional players, the three major demonic sects and the four major orthodox sects were their targets.
Cai Jiangjiang didn’t expect that this goal would be realized so soon.
If the management of the club knew about this, wouldn’t they be ecstatic?
“But the experience points required are pretty draining, like clearing out my inventory in one go” she muttered to herself.
But such a great temptation was irresistible.
“Joining the demonic path is great, little fairy girls can’t compare to little demon girls!” Cai Jiangjiang jumped and cheered in her heart.
The Demon Sect was indeed her preference.
Seeing her excitedly learning the Qi Consumption Technique, Lu Xun smiled and thought to himself: “Hooked.”
Based on his understanding of these professional players, Cai Jiangjiang would definitely only relay this message to her own club.
She wouldn’t post about it on the forum, telling people that getting White Emperor’s favorability would allow them to learn the Qi Consumption Technique. She would only aim to maximize her own benefits.
This was understandable. After all, if more people learned it, wouldn’t her early advantage be gone?
This was human nature.
However, this was contrary to Lu Xun’s plan.
He needed to attract a bunch of players for him to pick from, and the message had to be spread around.
So, he raised his jug and took another big gulp. His imposing manner was similar to the poet Li Bai composing a poem after drinking.
Lu Xun laughed heartily and took out a wooden sign he had prepared in advance from his storage ring and tossed it to Cai Jiangjiang, loudly declaring:
“Your wine was not bad, and you have learned the Qi Consumption Technique. Henceforth, you are part of my Demon Sect. Keep this sign carefully as proof of your identity.”
Cai Jiangjiang:
Ah! Why did the White Emperor have to announce it so loudly!
I wanted to exclusively enjoy his attention!
Lu Xun looked at her stunned expression and chuckled to himself: “Don’t celebrate too soon for holding my hand. I am a thousand-hand Kannon after all.”
All the players nearby heard his words clearly and couldn’t help but feel shocked.
The game just launched and the name of the Demon Sect is put out there, no one can resist this temptation.
Joining an excellent sect means having an excellent start, and the sect is closely related to a player’s faction. Who wouldn’t want a stronger backing to rely on?
In the early stages of the game, many players were unfamiliar with “Heavenly Dust.” The game truly was like a real world. You think, you just randomly joined any Sect, you’d have it forever?
Sects can be destroyed…
This is completely different from the old online games. Like when you play “Dream West Journey”, the sect you join is the Dragon Palace, then one day you log in, and the Dragon Palace is gone…
Exciting, isn’t it?
Some players just play along and bewilderingly transform from a Cultivator with a Sect to a Loose Cultivator, essentially becoming a “stray dog”.
All the accumulated Sect reputation value and contribution points, all gone in an instant!
Such is life sometimes, with its ups and downs…
Discussions were emerging from all around. The players weren’t fools; they could more or less guess the specifics.
It came down to flattery that won the White Emperor, who seemed to be from the Demon Sect. Once he was in a good mood, having been flattered to his satisfaction, he recruited the player into the Demon Sect and granted opportunities to learn the Qi Consumption Technique!
This Cai Jiangjiang… must have bumped up the NPC’s favorability by pure chance!
Players were immediately fired up!
Especially those who had bought the same wine from the same bar!
“Haha! Cai Jiangjiang and I bought wine from the same shop. If the White Emperor likes this wine, can I also increase his favorability, learn Qi Consumption, join the Demon Sect, and reach the peak of life?”
With such aspirations, they eagerly lined up. However, they watched as Lu Xun put the wine jar directly into his storage ring without even giving it an extra glance.
They were dumbfounded: “???”
It was clearly wine from the same shop. White Emperor, come on, open it up and smell it, take a sip!
These silly players were so naive~
At this point, one player, in his impulsiveness, insisted that Lu Xun take a sip.
Lu Xun immediately reduced his favorability by five points and closed down some skills to impose a cautionary restriction.
If he kept blithering, Lu Xun would take action.
From that point onwards, things went a lot smoother, without any players causing a fuss.
After harvesting tens of thousands of experience points in Red Mountain County, Lu Xun felt it was about time and prepared to leave.
This time he didn’t even need to say anything; the gutsier players took it upon themselves to ask where he was off to drink next, as though they were paid to do so.
“Oh, young man, you’re pretty quick on the uptake!” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He smiled and announced Plum City as his next stop, which was not far from there.
Plum City was head and shoulders above the Red Mountain County, subtly superior to the newbie’s village yet still paled in comparison to the likes of big cities like Qingling City.
Most players in the public test would move to small cities for development after spending some time in the newbie’s village. These players are quite smart, knew how to make the most out of the game, and often had more experience points on hand.
These low-tier skills are only popular for this short period of time, so he naturally aimed to maximize his benefits.
Presumably, the news would soon spread among the forum and many players in Plum City would line up as if they were welcoming ladies, awaiting the arrival of the mighty White Emperor.
The news of the Qi Consumption Technique would drop like a bombshell!
Lu Xun put his hands in his pockets and walked against the wind.
His toes lightly stepping on the fallen leaves, just as he had on his arrival.
Coming in with leaf-steps, leaving with leaf-steps.
What a debonair style!
The players watched his moves with envy, strengthening their desire to level up and practice skills.
Just as Lu Xun had predicted, once the news spread, the forum exploded!
Driven by some special reasons, the news promptly ignited the forum. The intensity of the heat surprised even Lu Xun!
