The streets were bustling with people.
Lu Xun signaled to Ji Li, indicating her to stop standing idly and hurry over.
Ji Li always listened to him and quickly walked to his side.
“Are you hurt?” Lu Xun asked.
“Just a little, minor injuries.” As a child of the martial arts world, Ji Li didn’t pay too much attention to these minor wounds.
She had been strong ever since she descended from the mountain, completing all the elements of her vengeance alone. Until now, when she unexpectedly saw Lu Xun, she wanted to cry without reason, but she held back.
“Have you got your revenge?” Lu Xun asked again.
“Yes!” This time Ji Li nodded fervently.
Lu Xun reached out with his right hand and ruffled her head. Her already messy hair was made messier by him. He smiled and said, “Quite impressive.” Just these three words, and they broke through all of Ji Li’s resolve.
Meanwhile, she felt an unfamiliar, complex emotion rising in her heart. It was mixed with some pride, satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment.
“Can we go in?” Lu Xun pointed towards Ji Mansion.
“We should be able to.” Ji Li started walking towards the entrance; after all, this was once her home.
“There’s no one inside.” Murong Yan declared after probing with her divine sense.
Since there was no one, a single door would not be able to stop them.
Upon entering, Lu Xun examined Ji Li’s home. He found it quite tasteful, indicating that her parents, despite being martial artists, had a good sense of style and knew how to enjoy life.
“This little girl was once quite the young lady.” Lu Xun thought to himself.
Ji Li’s home was very dirty since it had been uninhabited for a long time. Murong Yan cast a dust removal technique, which instantly tidied up the surroundings.
Once back home, Ji Li looked around, immersing herself in memories.
She used to practice martial arts and play in this courtyard, face the punishment of her father’s discipline, and then watch as her father was chased and hit by her mother.
In the end, Lu Xun and the rest only stayed there for an hour. After Ji Li buried the black package under a tree, she initiated the suggestion to leave Yongan County.
She wanted to come back for a look, but she couldn’t stay here for long, at least not right now.
The memories were too heavy.
People would make different choices when facing such situations. Lu Xun and Murong Yan respected Ji Li’s decision, so they bought a horse carriage with silver taels and left Yongan County.
After all, the Swan Feather Sword was already having a hard time carrying Lu Xun and Murong Yan. If Ji Li was added, it would be overload!
Under Lu Xun’s instruction, they set off towards Tong County. In his memory, Tong County was also a starting village for beginners and not too far from Yongan County.
The Heavenly Dust Continent was vast, and there were many starting villages. The number of beta testers was limited, with only a thousand slots open. There probably weren’t many players in a newbie village.
Lu Xun himself wasn’t sure if he could meet any players. He was trying his luck.
Among these thousand spots, only a small portion were lucky players. The majority of the spots were from major guilds and professional clubs. Lu Xun was actually excited about meeting them.
After all, he had played “Heavenly Dust” for many years, and it was this game that kept him alive. He must have had plenty of contact with major guilds and professional clubs.
Among them, he had friends and enemies.
Lu Xun was nicknamed “Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero,” a title that was not idly earned.
It couldn’t be helped since he needed to attract eyes on him and gain more exposure so that it would be easier to get tasks!
As a lone ranger, he wasn’t always a rebel. It’s just for survival!
Now that he had become an NPC, everything became even more fun.
“I can’t wait to see all of you!” Lu Xun declared in his heart.
The horse carriage moved slower than Lu Xun had expected. After all, he didn’t possess the “Map Function” yet. This function was displayed as “to be unlocked,” and it was unknown whether it could be unlocked during the beta test.
He had originally planned to reach Tong County before the beta test. Now the beta test had begun, and the group was still on the road.
But delaying by half a day didn’t matter. After all, the beta test would last for a full 20 days according to Heavenly Dust time, more than enough. A few hours wouldn’t make a difference.
Moreover, considering the capricious nature of these silly players, especially during the beta test, who knew what kind of antics they would pull right after the server went live?
It should be a mess by now!
It would be best to make contact after they had finished creating havoc and had started to calmly do their beginner tasks.
Lu Xun, now sitting in the horse carriage, was most concerned about unlocking new functions.
“[Ding! The beta test has begun, lasting 20 days!]”
“[Ding! The map functionality has now been unlocked!]”
“[Ding! NPC Template Functionality has now been unlocked!]”
Lu Xun acted as if he was dozing off, keeping his eyes closed, but in reality, his heart was throbbing with excitement.
Finally, the f* * *ing map function had been unlocked. He had not cared much about it when he was in the Demon Sect, but as soon as he descended the mountain, he realized how tough life was without a GPS!
However, compared to the map function, he was more interested in the now unlocked[NPC Template Functionality]!
After studying it for a long time, he realized he had to figure things out on his own.
The vague language of the dogshit system was hard to understand.
But thinking about it, he should have all the standard functions that normal NPCs have.
Such as issuing tasks to players, buying or selling commodities to them, teaching them skills, adjusting their favorability, the disciple recruitment system…
These functions would be his greatest assets in the future!
“I wish I could catch a wild player right now and explore more possibilities.” Lu Xun felt increasingly impatient.
He felt his decision to descend the mountain was indeed wise. If he waited until the public testing to study these functions, it would be too late! What did the public test mean for the Heavenly Dust Continent?
It meant the beginning of chaos!
For the native inhabitants of this world, what did the players symbolize?
It meant a change was coming!
Players could break their understanding time and time again, changing the entire landscape of the Heavenly Dust Continent time and time again.
Even for a major sect like the Demon Sect, it could cause a huge impact!
As for all of these, the native inhabitants of the Heavenly Dust Continent attributed it all to the heavenly and earthly phenomenon that occurred just before the players massively descended during the official test in Year 4000 of the Heavenly Dust Calendar!
It was on that day that the sky of the Heavenly Dust Continent… cracked!
Everyone could see a giant hole had blasted open in the sky!
A streak of dazzling light surged through the hole, so blinding that even those with the highest cultivation base couldn’t bear looking directly at it!
This dazzling golden light persisted for a few minutes. After that, many people on the continent “mutated”.
They seemed to resurrect after being killed!
They talked nonsense as if they were mentally disturbed!
They could suddenly disappear on the spot and then suddenly reappear!
Many of their behaviors were beyond comprehension!
Most people believed that all this was caused by the phenomenon on that day!
It was those rays of light that caused many people to undergo changes, causing problems with their bodies and minds!
And the cultivators gave a name to that day’s heavenly and earthly phenomenon –
Heavenly Dao Collapse!
