After Favorability Is Maxed

Dragon Lock Dagger

The speed of the black shadow was extremely fast, but fortunately, Liu Yuan was no longer the weak otaku who had just transmigrated.

Swish–!

A cold light flashed.

Liu Yuan pulled out his sword and pointed it at the black shadow in front of him.

He could only rely on his instincts to use one of the moves he had used against Yue Longzhang that day – ‘Astral Wind Overlord Blade’.

Using a sword to use a saber technique was not quite right, but this move mainly used the side of the saber to attack in a large area. There was no difference between a saber or a sword.

It mainly depended on who had the bigger blade (not really).

At this moment, it was the most suitable to block attacks with unknown trajectories.

The blade of the sword came into contact with some resistance, but it quickly disappeared. The black shadow flickered in front of him and touched the blade of the sword. With a strange cry, it instantly retreated and disappeared. It was incredibly agile.

However, just a moment of contact was enough for Liu Yuan to identify what kind of monster it was.

“A Psychic Monkey!”

The monkey that landed on the treetop in the distance bared its fangs, its eyes full of anger, just like a human. It revealed its sharp fangs, its whole body was covered in black fur, and its five fingers and sharp claws were open, as if it was threatening.

The most iconic part was the red fur on the monkey’s forehead.

Liu Yuan’s gaze fell on the side of its abdomen. There was a long and narrow wound that was bleeding. The sword had landed on this spot. If the monkey had not dodged quickly, it would have been cut open.

The Psychic Monkey was a wild monster that was most likely to appear in the process of treasure hunting. It was around the first to second level of the Foundation Establishment stage, especially near the monkey wine.

An individual with higher intelligence born in a group of monkeys. They seem to know martial arts and even magic.

As for what kind of martial arts or spiritual spells they would be... It was more random.

However, a monkey that knew magic would probably not engage in close combat immediately. According to the posture of the monkey in front of him, it should be a martial arts, fist-and-leg type.

“I might not be able to beat other people, but I can certainly deal with a monkey like you, can I?”

Liu Yuan snorted coldly and attacked with his sword.

When dealing with low-level wild monsters, it was fine to rush through, but if you wanted to be efficient, you still needed to find a strategy.

Psychic Monkeys had a fire-attribute physique, high sensitivity, and low health. Therefore, it is better to use skills of the water attribute with high accuracy to target them.

“Ten Miles of Smoke!”

The long sword in Liu Yuan’s hand moved as if it was his arm. In an instant, it flashed past, and the sword shadows danced wildly. White light crisscrossed, and it was like smoke and fog.

The balanced spirit power of the five elements turned into water mist and wrapped around the sword, covering the trajectory of the sword.

The Psychic Monkey was confused for a moment and hesitated. Liu Yuan immediately seized the opportunity and slashed at its claws.

Swish!

The sword, which was enhanced with spiritual energy, was extremely sharp. It cut off one of the Psychic Monkey’s hands.

Blood spurted everywhere as the monkey rolled on the ground and immediately ran away.

Squeak!

The shrill cries of the monkey was as tragic as chalk being used to scrape a blackboard. There was also a trace of pitiful wailing.

Liu Yuan stopped in his tracks and frowned. For the first time, he had the subtle feeling of harming an animal. After all. there was no such cruel sound effects in the game... But it was still the monkey that suddenly jumped out and attacked him.

Although he said that, Liu Yuan felt a little guilty. The monkey jumped out at him, but that did not mean they had to battle.

The monkey ran further and further into the forest.

When he chased after her, he was hesitating whether he should let it go...

Then, from afar, a group of monkeys rushed out while screaming.

“F*ck! How could I have forgotten that the monkeys are nearby!”

Liu Yuan was dumbfounded and stopped in his tracks.

He did not have any effective group attack skills yet. At the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, he could only rely on a sword. It would be useless even if he switched to the Flying Star Sword. Against such a large group of monkeys, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. Even if they scratched him, he would be scratched to death!

“I f*cking...” Liu Yuan held it in for a long time before saying, “You guys are ruthless!”

The peak of the Foundation Establishment stage was up against a large group of first and second-tier Foundation Establishment monkeys. There were also some fifth and sixth-tier elites among them, especially when the leader of the monkey group was at ninth-level Foundation Establishment.

“Retreat retreat retreat... Damn it, I can’t afford to offend them.”

Liu Yuan chose a strategic retreat. Fortunately, his current attribute points were the highest, and his movement technique was the highest. Otherwise, he would not have been able to outrun the monkeys.

Hence, Liu Yuan ran while the monkeys chased.

This group of monkeys held grudges to a degree beyond imagination. Liu Yuan went around in circles with them and fought with them for a long time. In the process, he killed a few of them, which only made them even angrier. The high-pitched cries of the monkeys could be heard all over the mountains and plains. It was as if they would not give up until they caught up.

He had only injured one monkey, but in the end, Liu Yuan had become enemies with the entire monkey tribe.

“Pant, pant, pant... I give up.”

Liu Yuan hid behind a rock and panted. He felt like he was being chased by a dog in his village when he was young.

Fortunately, these monkeys did not have a keen sense of smell like dogs.

He had finally escaped temporarily, but he had run deep into the forest. He had probably left Tigerfang Mountain and ran into the Jiuyuan mountain range.

F*ck, I really can’t use the logic in the game to judge the behavior in real life... The kind of situation where I encounter a monster with every step I take and then run away after killing it is definitely impossible in real life.

“I’m afraid I’ll be a retard if I behave just like in the game.”

Liu Yuan sighed in his heart with tears streaming down his face. He looked around again to make sure that there were no ‘pursuers’ before heaving a sigh of relief.

His understanding of this world was getting deeper and deeper, but the confusion between the game and reality still made it difficult for him to truly distinguish between them.

This was especially true for the Favorability System.

“By the way, where am I... Am I lost?”

He had just said that they were more familiar with each other in Central Continent, but he was instantly slapped in the face.

Liu Yuan raised his head and looked at the verdant branches and leaves above him with a pained expression. The trees that covered the sky were all older trees. He was afraid that they had gone deeper into the forest.

The Jiuyuan mountain range stretched for thousands of miles. He was a little familiar with Tigerfang Mountain, but it was full of places for fortuitous encounters. Except for those who were more interested in this place and might have explored it, under normal circumstances, no one could recognize the way.

“If I die in the mountains because I’m lost, I’ll make a bunch of people laugh to death.” The corner of Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched. “Let’s find a higher place to take a look first. It can’t be that I’m really thousands of miles away.”

As he walked, he looked for any tall trees or mountains, and finally found one.

However, when he arrived at the place, the first thing he saw was a deep pool at the foot of the mountain.

The pool was a deep blue, and the bottom could not be seen. There was a small waterfall flowing down from above, splashing white water. The surrounding stones were covered with moss, and the vegetation was lush. It was quiet and peaceful.

When he got close, he could clearly feel the cold, the kind of wet coldness that made goosebumps appear on his skin.

“Huh, a cold pond?”

Liu Yuan’s eyes widened. He pushed aside the grass and walked in. Suddenly, he had an idea.

“The cold pond... Can it be considered an extremely cold place?”

However, when he walked over and squatted down to test the temperature of the water, it was only as cold as ice. It was not considered extremely cold.

“Tsk, as expected, things go too smoothly, and it’s easy to have whimsical thoughts.”

Liu Yuan retracted his hand resentfully.

He raised his head and was about to stand up when he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

At the side, hidden by the grass and trees, there was an incomplete square stone tablet.

There were three words written in blood that were vigorous but had been eroded.

‘Dragon Lock Dagger’.
