There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 69: [The legendary base Edge)

Translator: 549690339

Outside of Tong County, in a small grove, Lu Xun, dressed all in black, appeared gracefully from nowhere. With a slight flick of his finger, the longswords in the hands of the two men were sent flying!

The martial arts skills of these two were mediocre. In front of the now powerful Lu Xun, they were clearly outmatched.

The two longswords were made of mere mortal iron, not even qualified to be inferior magic swords. Sending them flying was a simple matter for Lu Xun. He stood protecting MO Guanji, warning Li Shan and Chen Yuntian, “I am going to count to three.”

Both men understood the meaning of this Immortal Master’s threat. If they were still before him by the time he counted to three, they could look forward to decapitation.

Panic-stricken, they turned and fled, too afraid to retrieve their swords. Chen Yuntian, the pursued one, was sharp enough to run opposite to Li Shan’s direction.

Only after the two had escaped did Lu Xun turn to look at MO Guanji, who was sitting on the ground, looking up at him.

Although Lu Xun’s an NPC, he possesses most of the functions available to players. Therefore, unlike other players who can’t see the nickname hovering MO Guanji, Lu Xun could.

This function was useful for him as it effectively helped him distinguish between natives and players.

Looking up at Lu Xun from MO Guanji’s perspective, he could not help but be amazed.

Whether it was his appearance or demeanor, both were unexceptionable!

Although players could shape their faces, many people could make them look good, but the inherent attribute was only [Charisma 1]. Regardless of the facial features, people would feel something is missing, perhaps it is temperament, or perhaps it is a kind of feeling.

And players’ appearance seen from ordinary NPCs’ eyes would be automatically transformed into “nothing special” according to the setting. In other words, even if players can reshape faces with advanced techniques, they are just average faces in the eyes of NPCs.

But Lu Xun was different, he was born with [Charisma 10], which was full value. Therefore, whether it was appearance, temperament, or the visual impact and spiritual perception it gave people…everything was maxed out!

The only thought in MO Guanji’s mind right now was: “If I take a few screenshots and post them on the forum, this thread should explode, right?”

Moreover, this handsome look does not appear to be an ordinary character addition, could it be that I have encountered some big-shot?

MO Guanji started to probe into Lu Xun’s basic information, only for a string of question marks to pop out due to his low authority level. Even so, he was shocked as the information he saw was:

[Name: ??? (Purple level)]!

Although the name was not displayed, the question marks were purple!

The color of the name represents the status of the NPC. Like those two swordsmen just now, they only had gray names, not even yellow names.

And generally, people subconsciously associate status with power.

“A purple-name NPC, could it be some Sect Master-level figure from a great sect?” At this point, MO Guanji was too stunned to speak.

As for Lu Xun who looked at him, he was also surprised and lost for words.

“Can it be such a coincidence?” Lu Xun said in his heart.

“MO Guanji”, this was a name he was extremely familiar with.

This person was not famous before he started playing “Heavenly Dust”, but not long after Heavenly dust officially launched, his name resounded throughout the world!

Moreover, he became famous twice.

The first time, he became the young elder of the Demon Sect and apprenticed to a master.

The second time, because he played the game too obsessively, he died suddenly.

MO Guanji, no shutdown, finally just powered down forever.

What the hell kind of Divine Development is this?!

During this chance encounter, Lu Xun did not blurt out: “Holy shit, it’s like Lee !

As for seizing the opportunity that should have belonged to MO Guanji, Lu Xun didn’t feel any psychological burden.

Firstly, for others, this is just a game, but for him, this is now his life.

Secondly, this also changed MO Guanji’s destiny. Although he didn’t know whether this would have a good impact on his life, since his chosen path was doomed, why not let him try another way?

However, Lu Xun has always thought that if he had a chance to meet MO Guanji, he would see if he could help him in any way. If he could avoid his sudden death, it would be perfect.

But he didn’t expect the first player he met to be MO Guanji!

Could this be a so-called karmic coincidence?

Originally, he wanted to find a player to be a test subject, to research his NPC functions, to see if he could unlock some new positions.

He always felt uneasy about this Emperor Eu in front of him, who had a chance of suddenly dying…

However, this was easy to solve. He just needed to find another one, right?

He didn’t believe that he was so unlucky. A perfectly fine newbie village, he coincidentally ran into MO Guanji this short-lived Emperor Eu, there should be other players.

“Are you willing to work for me?” Lu Xun glanced at MO Guanji and asked.

“Here we go! It’s about to trigger a mission!” MO Guanji was screaming excitedly in his heart.

He may not be a professional player, but he plays games for fun, who wouldn’t want to unlock some hidden quests and rocket up in powers?

“I am willing!” MO Guanji responded loudly.

Lu Xun nodded coldly, trying to maintain his majestic demeanor.

He was well aware of the nature of players: the more aloof and superior you act, the more they would think that you are an amazing NPC, and they would love and respect you even more.

“You’re not enough alone, find another companion to come with you.” Lu Xun ordered indifferently.

At that moment, Lu Xun received a notification.

“[Do you want to assign a task to player MO Guanji?]”

As expected, he can directly assign tasks!

As long as he can assign tasks, the silly players can be used by me!

In order to get the mission reward, wouldn’t they pose in any position I ask them to?

He silently chose[Yes].

“[Please set the task requirements and rewards.]”

After entering the task requirements, Lu Xun saw three reward options before him, namely [Items], [Experience Points], and [Money].

Among them, he had to pay for items and money out of his own pocket, but there was a certain limit for experience points, which was refreshed every 24 hours.

It makes sense, if there were no experience point limits, wouldn’t NPCs potentially lose levels when issuing tasks?

However, for any amount of experience points exceeding the limit, Lu Xun would have to till in with his own.

His current experience point limit was 2000 points, calculated as his current level times 500.

He estimated that as his level increased, the multiplier would also increase.

2000 experience points per day, looking at it, Lu Xun was tempted. It was a pity that he could not add it to himself. If he really could, wouldn’t that be equivalent to money laundering, but experience laundering!

It was his first task, adhering to the principle of thrift, he chose[Money] but he didn’t give spirit stones, only silver taels.

The task requirement was: to find a companion and bring him here.

The task reward was: ten silver taels.

The money was still what he got from the few unlucky ones who were killed by the Mountain ghost when he encountered Ji Li.

Even though there were no experience points, this did not dampen MO Guanji’s enthusiasm at all. After all, Lu Xun is a purple name NPC, and his identity was paramount!

Seeing MO Guanji accept the task, Lu Xun pointed to a carriage not far away and said, “Do you see that carriage? I will be waiting for you there.”
