Chapter 173: Chapter 129 Battle Between Divination Masters (First Update)_1
“In the world of ‘Dark Builder,’ Mukuai 1234 propped her chin with both hands, helplessly watching the Xiemen Waidao by the campfire.
Although Heavenly Tao Tian Xuan had instructed them to ask players what they wanted, Mukuai 1234 felt that this question was truly too difficult.
Just bluntly asking like that made it seem like she was very eager to give a gift to the other party.
But she wanted to do something for Heavenly Tao, so in the end, she could only gaze into the distance and mumbled under her breath, “#?#@?#…”
The Xiemen Waidao, who was contemplating new ideas with a magical weapon on the side, looked up and asked with confusion, “What did you say?”
“…Nothing…”
“Oh, I thought you were asking what gift I wanted.”
“You heard it clearly!”
“There were subtitles, and how did you know my birthday is coming up? Big data?”
“Don’t pressure me!”
Rubbing her aching forehead gently, Mukuai 1234 stepped forward and lightly kicked the Xiemen Waidao before asking, “So, what gift do you want?”
The Xiemen Waidao wanted to say “you,” but it somehow felt weird saying such things to a virtual character.
He wasn’t some sort of real-life winner but did reasonably well in reality and wasn’t lacking suitable girls around him, yet he found Mukuai 1234 to be exceptionally interesting.
In the past, he always thought how could players possibly invest too much emotion in an NPC, but now it seemed he was the shallow one all along.
Now that Mukuai was asking this way, he assumed it was part of a game management survey follow-up, just unsure how seriously they would take players’ suggestions.
He thought about it for a long while, deciding to take advantage of the secret connection between Fang Cheng and the Living Immortal, and said directly, “I’m planning to play ‘The Supreme One’ later, and if possible, I hope to see you in that game.”
Mukuai 1234 looked at the Xiemen Waidao with a playful gaze.
For some reason, she felt her mood was exceptionally good right now.
Nodding slightly, she said, “Okay, I will pass on your feedback. Now, I’m leaving.”
“Ah, where are you going?”
“What do you think?”
The Xiemen Waidao watched as Mukuai 1234 turned away and vanished into the light of the campfire.
Afterward, he suddenly realized something and immediately opened the already downloaded ‘The Supreme One,’ creating a character that quickly appeared in a small town of the South Water Town.
Looking around, he didn’t see the person he wanted to see, feeling somewhat melancholic.
However, soon after, someone patted his shoulder, and a female hero wearing a veil appeared beside him, dressed identically to Mukuai 1234’s attire in ‘Doctor.’
“Young hero, the jianghu is treacherous. Would you like to join me?” Mukuai 1234 asked with a smile.
“…Let’s go!”
The arrival of the Mukuais made this world more interesting and also gave Tian Xuan a way to repay her karmic debts.
Beyond that, some players’ suggestions were good too, creating in-game merchandise to gift to players. These gifts weren’t very expensive, but they represented some of her considerations.
However, she wasn’t very familiar with such matters. Who should she ask for help?
After thinking for a long time, Tian Xuan took out the cell phone that Fang Cheng had bought for her, stared at the only contact, Xu Qingling, and after a while, awkwardly initiated a text message.
Meanwhile, Fang Cheng had also downloaded the game and began his journey in ‘The Supreme One.’
He had a VR game pod at home, but for Fang Cheng, there wasn’t much difference in using it.
Even at home, his Divine Sense could still connect to his character across the way, controlling it to play the game.
After familiarizing himself with the basic controls, Fang Cheng pulled up his list of objectives, drawing out several goals he aimed to achieve.
First up was The World’s Best Fortune Teller.
This divination was extremely difficult, nearly impossible for players to complete, so he had to do it himself.
However, his divination skills were still lacking; he could manage basic predictions and avoid blatant misfortune, but attempting to peek into the future was a challenge.
He wondered if the fortune tellers here had any true abilities to help him fill in the gaps.
Following the directions from his objective hints, he entered the town’s Teleportation Array and arrived at the imperial city.
He had personally added the Teleportation Array, which greatly facilitated players’ movement between cities and made trading a lot easier for them.
However, the Teleportation Array was only set up domestically. To go to further destinations, a group of players needed to learn how to create Formations and buy expensive materials to slowly establish the Arrays.
This also involved the completion paths for the First Under Heaven Traveler and the First Under Heaven Array Master, which were equally challenging goals.
As soon as he stepped into the imperial city, Fang Cheng felt the air grow dense.
The World’s Best Fortune Teller was a Divination Master employed by the palace and served the head eunuch Zhao Qin.
According to the objective description, this person was greedy, lecherous, loved alcohol and was insatiable. After befriending Zhao Qin, they immediately colluded and worked together.
One supplied the other with ample luxuries for enjoyment, and the other provided fortunetelling services to convert misfortune into luck, creating whispers of malice that left the Da Liang dynasty teetering on the edge of peril.
In between, many sought to rid the world of these two scoundrels, but apart from being the First Under Heaven Eunuch, Zhao Qin held several other titles.
The First Under Heaven Debater, the First Under Heaven Villain…”
