Chapter 359: 359, ?Please feel free to command me?
Listening to Shen Yan’s words, a series of question marks surfaced in Lu Xun’s mind:
“???”
Is it a coincidence?
He had intended to descend the mountain and cause trouble for the foreign race in the Uncold Forest, but it turned out that this ancient relic was also situated in the Uncold Forest?
“If it’s really a coincidence, then that’s great,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He asked a few more questions and got a rough idea of the specific location of the relic within the Uncold Forest.
At this moment, he already had an answer in his mind.
What the hell kind of coincidence was that!
Lu Xun didn’t say anything, nodding and answering, “Fine, I’ll choose a few disciples from the Demon Sect and explore the ancient relic together.”
“Great, having little master leading the team would be the best,” Shen Yan’s ugly face broke into an ugly smile.
Ah~ Little master is once again representing our Demon Sect to save face while we’re out.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Shen Ludan bid his farewells and left the back mountain.
He felt a bit regretful as he was leaving.
“If I’d arrived earlier, I could’ve had a meal prepared by little master.”
…
…
After returning to the Small Study, Ji Li hinted crazily at Lu Xun, signaling that she also wanted to go with him to the Southern Territory.
“I think you’re just looking to slack off!” Lu Xun whacked her on the head, asking, “Tell me! Are the practices with second master sister too hard, and you want to play down the mountain?”
“No way!” Ji Li denied: “I… I just want to be with you.”
Lu Xun shook his head, “Not this time.”
“Why?” Ji Li was curious.
“The journey won’t be peaceful, it’s my intuition.” Lu Xun made up a lie.
“Oh, alright.” Ji Li nodded, and did not continue to ask, afraid of upsetting Lu Xun.
Besides, she was naive at heart, even if she asked further, Lu Xun could easily come up with excuses to get by.
Ji Li can be quite naive at times.
But on second thoughts, even though she sacrificed her brain, she had gained “tremendously.”
Lu Xun took a glance at her and thought to himself, “Moreover, her tremendous…gains are truly impossible to dislike.”
It reminded him of a saying: “There are no bad people who like big breasts.”
Having resolved the issue with the little follower Ji Li, Lu Xun returned to his room.
He wanted to be alone and sort out his thoughts.
“The location of the relic that Shen Yan mentioned and the place I’m heading for are almost perfectly overlapping,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
According to his memories from his past life, a player in the Southern Territory accidentally discovered and damaged an ancient, broken altar in the Uncold Forest!
Yes, it was a broken altar.
Upon analyzing the current situation, Lu Xun immediately felt it was no simple matter.
“Unless an exception occurs, the site of the relic and my destination must be the same place.”
“And if the Qingtian Sect recognized this broken altar as an ancient relic, they must have their reasons.”
“So, assuming this point really holds…”
Lu Xun took a deep breath and cursed to himself, “This isn’t some kind of damn ancient sect site from ancient times!”
“It’s an altar of the foreign race that’s existed since ancient times!!!”
Lu Xun felt he had found the answer.
According to what his master had explained about the foreign race when he first returned to the Sect, during ancient times the foreign race had once invaded the Heavenly Dust Continent.
And the so-called catastrophe of ancient times was their first invasion.
Therefore, the idea that there might be an ancient altar left behind by the foreign race didn’t seem absurd.
When the players discovered this altar by chance, it was not only abandoned, but it also seemed to have been violently destroyed. It had been trampled over and severely damaged.
Lu Xun didn’t know the exact cause, but perhaps this was why the players did not link it to ancient times.
But most importantly, this altar was truly massive!
Before Lu Xun’s crossing, this altar had been listed as the largest one destroyed by players!
Even though it was severely damaged, it brought significant benefits to the players.
With such a big altar, the benefits that could be gained were endless.Such a good opportunity, Lu Xun naturally didn’t want to miss out. When it’s time to act, he just does, without any hesitation.
He just never expected that Qingtian Sect would stick their noses into this.
“This is tricky,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
But all in all, the unexpected involvement of Qingtian Sect, a third party, made Lu Xun’s journey a bit safer.
After all, from their perspective, this is an ancient relic.
When they send their elite disciples to explore, there will surely be Great Cultivators watching over them from the outside, just in case.
This was something Lu Xun could absolutely take advantage of.
He had planned to bring some tools with him, it would’ve been enough to just bring his sword-serving children along. But he didn’t expect a “Tool Sect” to appear halfway through.
And they are also one of the seven great sects!
Of course, Lu Xun wouldn’t harm them. After all, he isn’t a devil or anything.
“Hm, I need to plan this out well,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
…
…
In the Outer Sect of the Demon Sect, under the bright sun, Mo Guanji was having a happy conversation with a burly disciple of the Demon Sect. Han Bagui sat by his side, silent, playing with his little green-shelled turtle.
Among Lu Xun’s sword-serving children, people like Li Zuole were professional players, they knew each other well and had formed a small circle.
Mo Guanji and Han Bagui, on the other hand, surprisingly got along well.
One treats the game as a second life, the other seems like a boy with mild autism and social difficulties. Who knows how they managed to get along.
Maybe in Han Bagui’s eyes, the silly and naive Mo Guanji seemed more like a good person.
The biggest commonality between them is that they don’t seem to see “Heavenly Dust” as just a game.
After having a chat with the burly Demon Sect disciple who loved to laugh heartily with his hand covering his mouth, Mo Guanji sat down next to Han Bagui to observe him playing with the turtle.
After a while, he thought it was kind of boring, he looked up at the blue sky and sighed in his heart.
“Ah! I really miss the days when I used to follow the Purple Palace!”
When he first entered “Heavenly Dust”, he was taken into the Palace by the Purple Palace as a sword-serving child. He happily ran around on the green stone road in Qingling City. Those were his lost youthful days.
Unfortunately, after the public beta, everything drastically changed.
“Originally, I just saw the Purple Palace as a hidden boss in the game, I didn’t expect him to be the World Protagonist!” Mo Guanji thought to himself.
Usually, the boss of a game can be monopolized, the benefits of the boss can be enjoyed by only a select few. But the World Protagonist is different, he belongs to everyone!
The so-called World Protagonist is the leader of all players, the existence that leads players to conquer the main tasks.
This created an immediate sense of distance.
But he is an excellent tool person, he desperately wants the Purple Palace to use him.
—Please use me as much as you want!
After all, he treats “Heavenly Dust” as a second life. He wants it to be a bit more legendary, a bit more interesting, and a bit more ups and downs!
You should know, this guy once shouted, “Playing games is better than dating!”
What do you mean, “Which is more important, me or the game”? That doesn’t exist!
Do you think you can even compare with the game?
So, in Lu Xun’s previous life, when he gamed until he died suddenly, maybe his death wasn’t so unjust after all …
“Unfortunately… it seems like Purple Palace has forgotten about us again.” Mo Guanji sat there, sighing in his heart.
He looked at Han Bagui and said, “Xiao Gui, shall we go down the mountain to do some missions? What if we run into some foreign race by luck, if we kill them, we might even get Contribution Points.”
Mo Guanji doesn’t really act alone now, being beaten many times has taught him a lesson, he’s aware of his weakness, he’s accepted reality.
Han Bagui glanced at him and continued to play with the turtle. He isn’t a person with strong opinions, he simply doesn’t care.
Since he started playing “Heavenly Dust”, Mo Guanji is the only friend he has made. Wherever he wants to go, he just follows.
“Sigh, if Zi Dian…”
Mo Guanji started his usual habit of praising the Purple Palace, but this time, he stopped halfway through what he was saying.
Because a mission prompt popped up in front of him.
Han Bagui also saw the same thing.
The mission was called:
[The Summoning of “World Protagonist · Lu Xun”].
