Having played the role of matchmaker and planting a seed of love, Lu Xun returned directly to the Lai Fu Restaurant.
As for what will happen to the two women burdened with karma next, he didn’t bother to care for the time being.
If he remembered right, he had seen an interview video regarding Yan Bao on the hundred-year-old site ‘b station’.
This woman was full of provocative remarks, and was best at saying some cheesy pick-up lines. She was like a humanoid romantic pick-up machine.
For instance:
“I want to buy some land!
What kind of land?
Your unwavering land!” And also:
“Guess where my heart is?
On the left?
No, it’s with you!”
In the 22nd -century, these were considered as embarrassing cliches that dated back centuries, easily fitting in the ‘ancient artifact’ category. However, for someone like Xiao Ran who was born and raised on the Heavenly Dust
Continent, these lines might just be complicated enough to blow her mind.
Lu Xun shook his head, not wanting to think about it further, and sat down on a stone bench in the backyard of Lai Fu Restaurant.
By the way, every stronghold of the Demon Sect in the secular world was planned by his third senior brother, and the name Lai Fu Restaurant must have also been chosen by him.
Specifically speaking, his third senior brother was named Zhuge Lai Fu.
The name Lai Fu sounded like a… cough cough, never mind. As a junior brother, Lu Xun thought his thoughts were a little impolite.
He took a sip of warm tea, then opened the Master-Disciple System to take a look. MO Guanji had officially been upgraded from level o to level 1.
When MO Guanji was chosen as the Sword-serving Child, the Qi Consumption Technique was passed on to him. Lu Xun hadn’t expected him to complete tasks so efficiently.
At the same time, Lu Xun noticed the words “to be claimed” in the corner, which meant that he had obtained his reward of experience points because MO Guanji leveled up.
It wasn’t too much, just about 20 points. After all, to upgrade from level o to level 1, MO Guanji only needed 100 experience points.
The reward system in the Master-Disciple System meant that a master receives 20% of the experience points a disciple gains when they level up.
Although a master can’t receive any rewards when their disciple advances beyond level 10, the accumulated experience points from levels o to 10 multiplied by 20% is a significant sum.
Normally, players would only be allowed to accept disciples after reaching level 30. For a level 30 player, these experience points might not be enough for them to level up, but for Lu Xun, it was a substantial amount of experience points.
Pleasant, very pleasant-
“I wonder if this so-called Destiny Emperor can trigger any hidden storylines.”
Lu Xun thought to himself.
Lu Xun was definitely set on cashing in on hidden quests.
Just as he was thinking about this, a waiter came into the backyard. After bowing down when seeing Lu Xun, the waiter said, “Immortal Master, the man who you had brought along earlier is waiting outside and wants to speak with you.”
“That was fast. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.” Lu Xun thought, slightly surprised.
“Let him in then.”
“Sure thing!” The waiter gave another bow before briskly leaving the courtyard.
Like the waiter, some common folks who only handle external affairs for the Demon Sect don’t know the specifics about Lu Xun’s identity, they just think that the Immortal Master is incredibly handsome, indescribably so.
MO Guanji quickly entered the backyard.
“Have you encountered something difficult?” Lu Xun asked.
MO Guanji nodded vigorously, his face filled with excitement.
He had been wandering randomly around the city, striking up conversations in hopes of triggering a mission. And while chatting, he heard rumors about people acting possessed near the mountain outside of Qingling City— like zombies!
These people seemingly walked around like lifeless corpses, charging at every living thing and attempting to bite. Countless traveling merchants had been scared away, and apparently some people had even died a few days ago.
After acquiring this information, a prompt appeared before MO Guanji’s eyes:
“[Ding! Mission triggered: Corpse Energy, do you accept?]”
Without hesitation, MO Guanji accepted the mission.
Moreover, it was rather obvious that there must be some reason as to why zombies had suddenly appeared on the mountain. It just so happened that most players can only complete the task of killing the zombies and aren’t able to dig deeper into any subsequent missions.
MO Guanji, on the other hand, didn’t think too much about it either. He wasn’t some high-IQ strategy type player, he was just naturally lucky.
To put it simply, he wasn’t actively trying to trigger hidden missions, but hidden missions always seemed to find him.
After accepting the mission, MO Guanji spent all his silver taels to buy a high-quality Mortal Iron-grade Longsword, then headed for the hills outside the city to complete his first kill in ‘Heavenly Dust’.
He then promptly met a stunning death at the hands of the zombies.
“Damn it! These zombies are so strong! They pinned me to the ground right away!”
“Just pinning me would’ve been okay, but they also bit me!”
“Even biting me would’ve been okay, but they drained me dry too!”
After being resurrected, MO Guanji realized— this was a novice team mission.
One simply can’t handle a zombie alone, it would take four or five players working together.
For a moment, he didn’t know where to find new players to form a team. So, he slapped himself in the face:
“Pathetic! Are you still a regular player? Have you forgotten that you have a backer?”
Even though Purple Palace probably wouldn’t help complete the mission because he’s so badass, didn’t he still have two Demon Sect female disciples by his side?
Just having one of his senior sisters should be enough to help him smoothly complete the novice mission, right?
Plus, Purple Palace told him, if he were in any trouble, he could just go find him… Oh my god! How did he get such a down-to-earth NPC?
He wouldn’t object to being the Sword-serving Child, or even… cough, piece of cake!
Of course, when he was explaining the mission to Lu Xun, the details had to be slightly modified as he was treating Lu Xun as an NPC.
What MO Guanji didn’t expect was that as soon as he began explaining what happened, a prompt appeared before Lu Xun’s eyes: [Would you like to accept the mission: Corpse Energy?].
“I knew it could be piggybacked!” Lu Xun was overjoyed.
This increased MO Guanji’s usefulness as a pawn tremendously!
With Lu Xun’s keen eyes, it was easy to see that there could be a hidden storyline in this mission.
But the ability to trigger hidden storylines not only depended on your skill but also required a certain amount of luck.
Lu Xun was confident in his skill. Having played ‘Heavenly Dust’ for so long, the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero’s reputation wasn’t groundless.
As for luck… that was easy!
Just let pawn MO Guanji take the lead, right?
“Rest assured, I will only eat the meat. I will leave the soup and bones for you, it’s a promise from me, Purple Palace!” Lu Xun thought to himself.
Just as he was about to get up, he frowned slightly. He suddenly remembered something.
“Qingling City, Corpse Energy, zombies… Could it be that notorious hidden mission from before?”
