The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Such a worthless reward; naturally, Li Muyang wasn't going to claim it.

But to achieve a better score, how should he go about it?

Li Muyang furrowed his brow in thought, his gaze uncertain.

This round, he had already moved at his fastest pace, hardly wasting any time on travel.

Yet by the end of his journey, he had only reached LV89. He couldn't even challenge top-level NPCs like Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, or Great General He Jin, let alone the likes of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

The final chapter had abruptly arrived.

This game, unlike the mystery of Loushan City, had a fixed time limit for the revival of malicious spirits. The better Li Muyang performed within this fixed time limit, the higher his final score would be.

But merely fighting monsters to level up, this save was Li Muyang's limit.

Even if he could fight and level up more efficiently and move a bit quicker in the next round, it wouldn't significantly boost his final score.

Because the later the NPCs appeared, the longer the battles would last.

Even if Li Muyang smoked his feet from running, he couldn't possibly defeat all the NPCs before the revival of the evil spirits.

"It seems that to perfectly complete this game, just fighting monsters won't cut it. There must be another trick?"

Li Muyang pondered.

The game's content was very rough and simple, lacking even the most common feature of standalone games—the maze.

In Luoyang City, there were only two types of NPCs; one was the various famous characters from the Three Kingdoms, whom Li Muyang had slain, and the other was the Dragon Divine Maiden.

Aside from fighting monsters to level up, Li Muyang spent his time in the game avoiding the Dragon Divine Maiden.

But now it seemed...

"Could it be that the Dragon Divine Maiden is a friendly NPC, and I can get her help?"

The route of escaping from the Dragon Divine Maiden had already proven to be ineffective.

That left only one other option— to win over the Dragon Divine Maiden's support!

Based on the game's backup information, Li Muyang made such a deduction.

Otherwise, there were no other paths left in the game.

Just as he was about to enter the game to verify his hypothesis, a sudden voice of his younger sister, Li Yuechan, came from outside the house.

"Brother? Did you not bestow rain upon the spiritual fields today?"

The girl's voice was filled with confusion.

Li Muyang once again opened his eyes, got up, and pushed the door open, only then seeing that it was already evening with the sky painted in sunset hues.

He had stayed up all night last night, and today he had played the whole day. Hmm, looking at it now, the revival time of the malevolent spirits in Luoyang City was roughly 12 hours in real-time?

Li Muyang contemplated while looking at his inquisitive younger sister, Li Yuechan, and he sighed.

"I had some urgent matters today, so I didn't go to bestow rain on the spiritual fields."

"Since this batch of spiritual grains had just been planted and it's ruined now, I'll just replant it in a couple of days."

Li Muyang was unconcerned about the withering of the spiritual grains.

Spiritual grains, such delicate entities, cannot be deprived of spiritual rain even for a day.

A day without rain would cause the stalks and leaves to wither. Chapter Continue:

Two days without rain, they would dry up and decay.

Three days without rain, and he might as well prepare to plant fresh seeds.

But now, Li Muyang was too busy playing the game to care about the spiritual fields at all.

Besides the fact that "Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles" was somewhat addictive, what was most critical was that this game actually had a time constraint.

On the game list, next to the title "Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles," there was a small numeric countdown.

If Li Muyang couldn't complete the game and claim the reward before the countdown ended, he would forever lose the chance to obtain the game's rewards.

Now, after doing some quick math, only about ten days were left.

While ten days was feasible to complete a game with a straightforward process, Li Muyang, just to be safe, decided he wouldn't be farming anymore.

Cultivators don't need to sleep, so he might as well grind!

Fiercely committed to progressing!

Getting the game rewards a day earlier means enjoying them a day sooner.

Li Muyang briefly chatted with his half-sister, bid farewell to Li Yuechan, and then started to prepare a meal.

For dinner, he enjoyed a hearty and delicious meal with the hot dishes his half-sister had brought.

After dinner and dispelling the spiritual energy in his body, Li Muyang directly entered the system and started the game.

As he opened his eyes on the bustling streets of Luoyang City,

this time, the save file picked up right after he had defeated Guo Dian, the Governor of Julu.

A mystical fairy shrouded in mist arrived as expected.

[Mystical Fairy: Who are you to dare to intrude into this dragon's den and tiger's lair?]

It was a familiar dialogue, but this time, Li Muyang didn't run.

He stood still and waited for the mystical fairy to come closer, then edited his dialogue entry.

[Nan Hua, the Old Immortal: Chaos has manifested, and the resentful spirits in the city are about to lose control. Dragon Fairy, are you not aware of the disaster looming overhead?]

The previous friendly exchanges failed to elicit a friendly response from the Dragon Fairy.

This time, Li Muyang switched tactics and went straight for a heavy punch with this aloof and reticent fairy.

He started with a triple threat of intimidation.

[Nan Hua, the Old Immortal: If the resentful spirits in this city wreak havoc, countless innocents will perish at the hands of evil spirits, their lives smothered in suffering.]

[Nan Hua, the Old Immortal: With such perilous disasters, Dragon Fairy, do you truly not care?]

With the save files at his disposal, Li Muyang was completely unfiltered, vehemently intimidating the mystical fairy with his harsh words.

If it failed, he could always load a previous save and try again.

But unexpectedly, after he sent his stern words, the mystical fairy shrouded in mist hesitated.

[Mystical Fairy: You... who are you?]

[Mystical Fairy: I have suppressed the number of resentful spirits in the city. What makes you say they are about to lose control?]

The previously cold and reticent Dragon Fairy, now facing Li Muyang's harsh interrogation, seemed somewhat unsure of herself.

It appeared that Li Muyang's stern interrogation had intimidated her.

Tsk... So this Dragon Fairy is a naive and inexperienced girl?

I used to think she was aloof and uncommunicative, but now she seems more like a naive and inexperienced girl who doesn't know how to interact with others.

It's only because she doesn't talk much that she seems so aloof...

Seeing that harsh words were effective, Li Muyang continued to edit his dialogue entries, adding weightier content.

But this time, his tone was much softer.

Having recognized the Dragon Fairy's naive nature, he felt more confident in handling her.

Although Li Muyang lacked dating experience and didn't know how to deceive girls, manipulating a naive and inexperienced girl was easy for him.

Moreover, he could keep trying different approaches thanks to the ability to load previous saves.

Finally, after the sixth save reload, Li Muyang successfully gained some trust from the Dragon Fairy.

[Mystical Fairy: Given your words, I will trust you a bit.]

[Dragon Fairy joins the team]

Seeing this system notification, Li Muyang clenched his fist tightly.

This mystical fairy was indeed a valuable teammate!

Although he couldn't control the Dragon Fairy, he could read her character status.

The current Dragon Fairy was level LV99 with a dazzling array of skills—definitely a max-level character.

Having a max-level character join the team to battle monsters together greatly accelerated their progress.

This time, Li Muyang truly saw hope for a perfect score completion.
