Chapter 377: 377, [Thousands of Lights, Foreign Race Arrives] (Ask for Monthly tickets!)
Lu Xun stared at the special attribute points in front of him. Though he was content, he couldn’t help but grumble a bit.
“Indeed they didn’t give me the Swordsmanship Aptitude, huh. Well, you’re ruthless!”
“Also, what’s with this? Every time I pull a large amount of attribute points, I always get All-Around!”
“This Stick Aptitude and Gun Aptitude are already at 3 points…”
Normally, for a player who is over level thirty, having any special attribute reach 3 points would be worthy of a screenshot to show off on the forum.
“Would I continue like this, with my Stick Aptitude even exceeding that of the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero from my past life?”
“But other than the gun and stick, the rest of my attributes are top-notch!”
Yes, this draw didn’t bring any new attributes that he had never drawn before. Most of the special attributes he got this time has strengthened his overall strength.
“The Endurance is 3 points, this can greatly increase the defense of Pink Ink, giving me a better self-protection capability. Moreover, as a macho, looking at the 3 points of Endurance, it’s quite comforting.”
“The Spiritual Power, on the other hand, has already reached 5 points without me realizing it. The range of my Divine Sense now is probably catching up to the Great Cultivator in the fifth realm. This can also indirectly strengthen my control over formations and thousands of Sword Qi!”
“The Formation Qualification is already 4 points, good, good, my output has increased, hahaha!”
Lastly, Lu Xun’s gaze fell onto Charm.
“Charm is already at 4 points…” He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
You should know, the bonus to the Illusion Technique is merely a by-product of the Charm attribute.
Its main effect is just as its name implies, creating a bewitching effect on others!
Lu Xun has never deliberately used this function until now.
Having no choice, the inherent effect of “Charisma 10” is already exaggerated, coupled with 4 points of Charm, isn’t that reaching the sky?
Not to mention the opposite sex, Lu Xun is afraid even the same sex won’t be able to handle it!
“If this attribute maxes out, I might actually have the effect of causing national calamity and citizen distress…” Lu Xun thought to himself.
Looking at his Character Level now, Lu Xun couldn’t help but commend himself: “Why am I so strong?”
And indeed, although he has never drawn a Swordsmanship Aptitude, he also has never drawn any special attributes that are completely useless to him.
Critical Hit, for example, is useless as it overlaps with the effect of Sword Cultivating Technique.
“No wonder there’s a saying that goes ‘Out of every stone of destiny in the world, I, Jiang Nan’an, hogs twelve spoonfuls. Everyone else in the world owes me two spoonfuls.’ Being the son of destiny is really top-notch!”
Lu Xun gave himself a thumbs up, expressing that this treasure is really handy!
After closing the character panel, Lu Xun rose to his feet and went outside the cave.
The Sword Sheath and The Sword Qi is Near were teasing each other.
Don’t think that The Sword Qi is Near is so arrogant in front of outsiders. Just seeing the sect master of Qingtian Sect, Mo Yixi, makes it fly high, deliberately flying half a head taller than Mo Yixi. But in front of the Sword Sheath, it is really…licking…
It’s usually humble enough in front of the Sword Sheath, and now that it also wants to gather the sword into the sheath, it appears to be even more of a lap dog.
“The lap dog will have a miserable life,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
The Sword Sheath saw Lu Xun, who had come out of the boundary monument, came up to greet him immediately, and as usual, raised its black rope to rub against the back of Lu Xun’s hand.
He looked down at the Sword Sheath and playfully cast the effect of Charm on it.
Suddenly, the two black ropes of the Sword Sheath were no longer gently rubbing against the back of his hand, but like a pair of nimble hands, they climbed onto Lu Xun’s finger. After some friction, they tightly wrapped around his finger.
“Damn! Why is it effective on magical weapons too?” Lu Xun was shocked, quickly cancelling the effects of Charm.
The black ropes of the Sword Sheath dispersed immediately, it might be quite perplexed right now.
The Sword Qi is Near hovered beside them, not daring to jab Lu Xun, yet also feeling a bit reluctant not to pierce through him, seeming somewhat desolate for a moment.
The Heavenly Dust Continent in June, is really cold.
…
…
As the paper crane flew in the sky, Lu Xun didn’t plan on returning to the sect immediately.
After returning to the sect, according to the rules, The Sword Qi is Near is supposed to go back to the Hidden Mountain and stay there.
Although it always has a smug face, and is full of hostility towards me, even when it’s flying it intentionally flies higher than me, but it’s really strong!
A handy sword like this, if I don’t seize the opportunity to utilize it a few more times, I’m afraid I might regret it in the future.
With The Sword Qi is Near accompanying him, as long as he doesn’t do anything too outrageous, where in the world wouldn’t he dare to go?
“I have over thirteen thousand contribution points now, still six thousand short to exchange for the Swordsmanship Aptitude.”
“If conditions permit, I should prioritize finding a way to get more contribution points.”
This was Lu Xun’s idea for now, to take the Sword Qi is Near to obtain contribution points.
After all, the way to earn contribution points was to oppose the foreign race, and as long as he made the foreign race unhappy, his experience points were sure to not be lacking.
His current character level had already reached 36, which was considered to be skyrocketing, but he still felt a sense of urgency, itching to boost his strength as quickly as possible.
“I should leave the Southern Territory. I’ve just stirred up a big commotion here, wouldn’t want to get into any trouble.”
“So… where should I go?” Lu Xun started pondering.
He had a strong sense of urgency right now, and for no other reason than the fact that his intuition told him that the large-scale invasion of the foreign race was not far away!
Given that the public player testing period was a year early due to his intervention, what’s strange about the foreign race invasion being a bit early?
Since all the players have already received the main mission [Foreign Invasion], then this is a signal!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xun decided to head to West State.
The reason is simple, West State is the territory of sword cultivators, and he is currently carrying [The Sword Qi is Near]. If he didn’t visit West State, it would be too much of a waste.
Of course, he wasn’t going to West State just for a pleasure trip, he also had something important to do.
And on the way, he could also visit the boundary monument, Dida.
With this decided, he turned the paper crane and flew towards the direction of West State.
Southern Territory is far from West State, and Lu Xun flew for several days.
As he was about to reach West State, he suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Both the sword sheath and [The Sword Qi is Near] noticed Lu Xun’s unusual behaviour.
It’s safe to say that the sword sheath, having followed Lu Xun for so long, was seeing such a visibly shaken expression on his face for the first time.
Lu Xun’s face was full of astonishment, his pupils slightly dilated, looking utterly disbelief.
“It’s happening even earlier than I thought!” Lu Xun sat on the paper crane, clenching his fists tightly.
He was certain that not only he, every player must have received the notification at this moment.
“[Ding! The mainline plot [Foreign Invasion] is about to commence!]”
“[Countdown 09:59.]”
A ten minutes countdown!
This indicates that in ten minutes, a great number of foreigners will arrive at the Heavenly Dust Continent through various altars!
Just like in his previous life, this message was suddenly published, catching all players off guard.
But the difference is, he was excited back then, but now he felt somewhat anxious.
——A storm is brewing!
This is an unexpected disaster!
Lu Xun’s paper crane hovered in the air, watching the countdown in front of him, his mind filled with endless thoughts.
He didn’t know why, but scenes from the years he had lived flickered past in his mind one by one.
Unconsciously, he had been here for many years.
Here he found a new home, people he wanted to protect, and those who were always protecting him.
He had seen the rise and fall of his Sect, met various kinds of interesting and gentle people.
The Heavenly Dust Continent is a comfortable world for him, a world he had completely immersed himself into over the years.
Lu Xun sighed silently.
The paper crane stayed in mid-air, while Lu Xun looked down from high above.
Below was a small town. The sun had just set and wisps of smoke were rising from the town.
For some unexplainable reason, the wafts of smoke were strangely comforting.
——Life’s meals are nothing more than a bowl of worldly smoke and fire.
The sun was hidden on the horizon, the small town was rather bustling.
Looking down from the sky, Lu Xun saw a beautiful scene.
——Twilight dusks, lights of thousands of homes.
It was so beautiful.
He suddenly smiled.
Since the foreign invasion was inevitable, then… if you want to fight, let’s fight!
…
Because life here is worth it.
