Chapter 57: The Woman Looks Down and Doesn’t See Her Feet
Entering the game’s main page again, Li Muyang chose to start from the beginning this time.
He loaded the save where the youth woke up in the alley, brutally solved three doomed ruffians right at the start, completed this tutorial level, and then headed straight for the outside of the alley.
The last save took too much time on pathfinding, so by the time ghosts swarmed out, his level was too low, and he couldn’t pass through.
This time with experience, Li Muyang headed straight for his target from the start.
After all, the NPCs in this city all stayed in one place and wouldn’t wander around.
The originally rough game details now conveniently benefited Li Muyang.
He quickly moved around the city according to his memory, constantly looking for weak characters of equal strength, defeating them to gain Experience Points.
Those scattered, weak generals in Luoyang City were all found and defeated by Li Muyang one by one.
His level was also rapidly increasing. Discover hidden tales at NovelBin.Côm
Finally, when he defeated the last weak NPC and advanced to LV50, Li Muyang began to challenge the named generals.
Following the path, he found the nearest NPC, "Guodian, the Prefect of Julu."
This was a minor three-site character, and Li Muyang hadn’t even heard of him.
But his combat power was nearly on par with that of the young Yuan Shao.
Li Muyang stepped forward to challenge, defeated Prefect Guodian of Julu, advanced to LV51, and obtained a Grudgeful Soul Treasure Bead.
After Li Muyang broke through to LV51 and obtained his first Grudgeful Soul Treasure Bead, a mysterious fairy shrouded in mist promptly appeared.
[Mysterious Fairy: "Who art thou? How dare thou trespass this dragon haunted territory?"]
Seeing the mysterious fairy appear, Li Muyang didn’t say a word and just fled.
He activated his Divine Skill, Shrinking Earth into Inches, and immediately escaped.
After escaping from the Dragon Fairy, Li Muyang found another NPC of equal strength and initiated a challenge.
At LV50, he could tackle those named minor three-site characters.
At LV70, he could fight a somewhat powerful second-tier character like Gong Sunzan.
As for first-tier characters filled with a tangible aura of resentment like Liu Guanzhang and Great General He Jin, Li Muyang estimated he would need LV85 or even LV90 to stand a chance.
Using the Divine Skill, Shrinking Earth into Inches, he dashed madly around the city, constantly searching for NPCs of equal strength to challenge.
Every time he defeated an NPC general, the mist-wreathed mysterious fairy would arrive promptly.
Occasionally, if Li Muyang ran too slowly, the suddenly appearing mysterious fairy would kill him with a single strike.
But with saves available, as long as he could reload in time, Li Muyang could still continue the game process.
Running from a dangerous BOSS while chopping down enemies, this gameplay was somewhat reminiscent of the temple runs he had played before.
The Dragon Fairy was that "monster" chasing behind Li Muyang.
Although this monster was extremely beautiful.
—Though he failed to complete the final chapter last time, Li Muyang got a glimpse of the true face of the Dragon Fairy just before his death.
As ghosts swarmed out and crushed the barrier, the white mist around the Dragon Fairy also dispersed simultaneously.
It must be said, she indeed was a breathtaking beauty.
Large and beautiful.
Although her elegant and luxurious palace attire did not emphasize her figure, even such loose clothing couldn’t conceal her enormity.
Li Muyang believed, the Dragon Fairy surely couldn’t see her toes when she looked down.
Unfortunately, it seemed that only the game’s main character card could be condensed after completing the game.
If he could get the fairy’s card, well...
Li Muyang felt somewhat regretful.
If this system is for playing games, when could it arrange some more exciting games for him?
Fighting monsters and leveling up was interesting, but occasionally playing casual games like "Night X Ward" or "Pretty Girl X Mirror" could be beneficial for mental and physical health.
While rushing on his way, Li Muyang continued to challenge NPCs.
This time, he finally succeeded in leveling up to LV80, surpassing his previous save’s level.
At this point, Li Muyang had become a well-known big star for defeating those challenging NPCs.
[Xi Liang Ma Teng].
After a round of turn-based skill combat and defeating this NPC, Li Muyang muttered.
"Xi Liang Ma Teng here in Luoyang at this time?"
He quickly fled the battlefield, avoiding the suddenly appearing Dragon Fairy, and went to kill the next NPC.
But once his level reached LV80, the battles became increasingly difficult.
The health bars and skills of both parties increased, and the battle time lengthened as well.
When Li Muyang advanced to LV89 and defeated [Lu Zhi], Luoyang City was just enveloped by endless white fog.
[Nan Hua the sage: Not good! The vengeful spirits in the city are about to lose control!]
The same final chapter plot appeared once again.
Li Muyang glanced at the vengeful spirit beads in his backpack, 136 beads, which was double the amount from the previous tier.
The number of vengeful spirit beads dropped by NPCs in the later stages was beyond imagination.
He guided Nan Hua the sage towards the imperial city, where in that grand hall, where resentment solidified into substance, he met the Dragon Fairy and the endless evil spirits surging from beneath the ground.
This time, he finally had enough vengeful spirit beads.
With the light continuously emanating from him, every evil spirit that emerged from beneath was pacified one after another.
The mystical fairy deployed a barrier that continuously pushed back and finally restored the cracked ground completely in the grand hall.
[Mystical Fairy: So it turns out that Your Excellency was disrupting the city to aid me...]
[Mystical Fairy: Thank you for your help]
The always aloof mystical fairy finally showed goodwill towards Li Muyang at this moment.
She dispersed the fog around her and with a cool expression, gently bowed to Li Muyang.
This action caused a heart-stirring tremor, almost captivating Li Muyang’s gaze.
—Indeed, the greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull!
My physics teacher did not deceive me.
As Li Muyang completed the game, the system displayed the settlement interface.
[You helped the mystical fairy suppress the city’s vengeful spirits, preventing an impending disaster]
[Although temporarily suppressing them cannot eradicate the vengeful spirits’ resentment...]
[Drinking poison to quench thirst is still better than letting all living beings come to harm...]
[Game—"Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles" has been cleared]
[Mystical Fairy: Survived]
[Resentful Ghost: Unpacified]
[Clearance Rating: E (Passable)]
[You relied on powerful Divine Skills and swift actions, saving the mystical fairy before the situation collapsed and assisting her in suppressing the vengeful spirits, earning a bit of goodwill from the mystical fairy. Nevertheless, the resentment of the city’s vengeful spirits still lingers, and the disaster has only been delayed for some time]
[You may now claim your clearance reward, do you wish to claim your clearance reward?]
[Current selectable reward (choose one): Cultivation Realm +1 (From Qi Refining Seventh Heaven to Qi Refining Eighth Heaven), random ordinary Magic Artifact X1]
[Host, please note, after claiming the reward, the game entry will close, and you cannot enter again]
...
"Good grief, the clearance rating stinks, not only is the reward now a choice between two, but the content of the rewards has also turned to trash."
Flying swords belong to the category of magic artifacts with high power and cost-effectiveness. Previously, even the worst clearance reward was an ordinary flying sword.
And now directly random Magic Artifact X1 ... what if it randomizes some trash magic artifact, still not as good as a flying sword.
Li Muyang opened his eyes and sighed.
"It seems this game, like the mystery of Loushan City, requires a perfect score to obtain high-value rewards."
