There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 117: [Give a “Surprise” to the Gentleman]

Translator: 549690339

At the back mountain, within a cave a certain distance away from the Small Study at the peak, Lu Xun was taking a lesson from his Third Elder Brother.

The Third Elder Brother had divided the teaching of the Ancient Five Elements Formation into five days, and he was currently teaching about the Fire Element Formation.

“Little Junior Brother, did you understand? If not, I can explain it again,” the Third Elder Brother asked patiently, wisps of intellect glittering in his swarthy face.

Despite not fully understanding, Lu Xun hastily reassured his elder brother that he had understood, considering he had already learnt everything using his Experience Points. The whole listening-to-the-explanation part was just a formality.

As for the Third Elder Brother, he was pretty satisfied teaching Lu Xun, deriving a sense of accomplishment from it. Seeing Lu Xun learning so quickly, he felt a joy similar to a hardworking farmer reaping a bountiful harvest.

The third elder brother continued to doodle and annotate on the paper, employing a simplistic explanation approach that every man could understand when it came to teaching Lu Xun about the Earth Element Formation.

While Lu Xun seemed to be engrossed in the drawings and annotations, he was actually browsing through online forum posts, engrossed in the latest novels, short stories, as well as pictures featuring female players and cross-dressing experts.

All of a sudden, Lu Xun paused, a faint smile creeping up to his face, brimming with delight.

“What’s wrong, Little Junior Brother?” asked the Third Elder Brother.

“Nothing much really. Your explanation is so good that it’s helping me gain new insights about other formations as well. I’m getting better at comprehending the formations that I initially learned,” Lu Xun bluffed, and followed it up with some sugar-coated flattery.

In reality, he had spotted a notification that the second stage of his Prestige Value Task was finally complete!

“Little Junior Brother, your aptitude for comprehension is quite good. The Five Elements Formation compliments and contradicts itself. Your ability to validate them is commendable, ” the Third Elder Brother praised in return.

After a round of mutual praise, the Third Elder Brother continued teaching, while Lu Xun, appearing as attentive as ever, occasionally nodded in affirmation, but was actually claiming his task rewards and looking into the next stage of his Prestige Value Task.

“Ding! The second stage of the Prestige Value Task has been completed. Do you wish to claim your rewards?”

Lu Xun chose to [Claim].

“Ding! You have received 50000 experience points, and 1 random Special

Attribute reward.”

His heart fluttered with joy in an instant!

“It seems the seeds I had sown earlier have taken root and are on the verge of bearing fruit. The rewards came so quickly!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Ever since he accepted the Prestige Value Task, Lu Xun had been working hard to complete it. After all, a reward of 50,000 Experience Points and 1 Random Special Attribute was too hard to resist!

Now that the task rewards were at his disposal, it was just perfect!

If it weren’t for Third Elder Brother’s presence, Lu Xun would have definitely drawn his Special Attribute points right away.

At this moment, his remaining Experience Points had surged over 56,000!

“Hehe, let’s give my master a surprise!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

The Third Elder Brother, after teaching for quite some time, finally left the cave.

Once the Third Elder Brother had left, Lu Xun immediately opened his game interface, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

He couldn’t wait to draw for the random Special Attribute reward!

“Should I wash my face first?” Lu Xun wondered in his heart.

After pondering a bit, he dismissed the superstition. Whether he was lucky or not had nothing to do with washing his face.

In his heart, he chanted: “Swordsmanship Aptitude, Formation Qualification, either of these will do! Just don’t give me some irrelevant things. I don’t need Enlightenment either.”

Unfortunately, only the first stage of the Prestige Value Task rewarded selectable Special Attributes. The subsequent stages awarded random attributes and relied on luck.

After uttering a silent prayer, Lu Xun clicked to draw.

A streak of golden light flashed before his eyes, a roulette spun rapidly, before eventually coming to a halt.

“Ding! You’ve gained 1 point of Spiritual Power!”

“Huh! How did I draw Spiritual Power!” Lu Xun was slightly surprised.

He didn’t harbor much expectation for the draw because he was known for his bad luck, and the chances of drawing Swordsmanship Aptitude or Formation Qualification were extremely low.

Special Attributes were varied and, out of so many types, drawing these two was indeed a bit difficult.

Lu Xun’s anticipation wasn’t high, even if he had received Gun Aptitude or Stick Aptitude, he would’ve been content.

As mentioned before, even if you don’t practice using a stick, getting Stick Aptitude can help you spot weaknesses when battling with someone who does, increasing your damage output against them!

Moreover, a real man should excel in both sharp and blunt weapons in the Special Attributes section, which feels rather fantastic!

The fact he drew an exceptionally rare “Spiritual Power” greatly exceeded Lu Xun’s expectations.

This special attribute is so rare that Lu Xun didn’t even consider it initially, but it is especially useful for him at the moment!

With “Spiritual Power +1,” Lu Xun’s divine sense becomes much stronger than ordinary people, and his perception also mounts, which would certainly assist him in laying out formations.

Considering that he already is a conscious flow player with top-level operation consciousness, blending it with “Spiritual Power +1”, might yield unexpected results on many occasions!

“Excellent, this satisfactorily exceeded my expectations!”

Lu Xun sat cross-legged, spreading his divine sense around him.

He discovered that the scope of his divine sense coverage had expanded compared to before, and this advantage would continue to grow with the increase in his character level!

Perhaps one day, he could arrange formations from dozens or even hundreds of miles away, and have crystal clear understanding of everything within the formation! By then, it would be truly terrifying!

In simplest terms, “Spiritual Power” helps expand the casting distance. Of course, the premise is that his Spirituality Value can keep up as the casting distance increases, the consumption of spiritual power also rises.

Interestingly, what Lu Xun lacks the least is spiritual power while practicing the Nameless Technique!

Now, his special attributes column has become:

“Charisma 10 (Maxed)” “Luck 1 (Non-upgradable)” “Enlightenment 1” “Swordsmanship Aptitude 3”

“Spiritual Power 1”

At a glance, that’s already pretty good!

“Looking at the special attributes, I’m currently advancing my skill through charm, hopefully one day I can advance through swordsmanship too!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

Back Mountain, Small Study.

Master stood at the door, looking up at the sky, not knowing what he was looking at.

Today was a cloudy day, with both stars and moon obscured, really offering no view.

Perhaps… he just thought the pose of looking up at the night sky at a 45-degree angle was good-looking?

“You’re back?” The Master didn’t turn his head, addressing Zhuge Lai Fu, who had returned.

People on the back mountain rarely choose to fly around when they’re on the mountain, they mostly prefer to walk.

The Master continued to stare at the murky night sky and asked, “How is his learning progress?”

“Little Junior Brother learns very quickly. One can even say he grasps everything after a quick brief.” Zhuge Lai Fu added.

“Is that so?” Master smiled, unclear what he was thinking about.

As long as Lu Xun didn’t hop around in front of him, he was quite concerned about this new disciple of his.

He was waiting outside now, wanting to ask Zhuge Lai Fu and check on Lu Xun’s progress over the past few days.

However, why did Zhuge Lai Fu always felt like the master seemed to predict that Lu Xun would learn quickly?

He felt a hidden depth in the master’s expression.

After asking, the master was about to turn around and enter the room. He took just one step before he stopped, glanced towards where Lu Xun was closed-door cultivating, and there was a nearly imperceptible twitch at the corner of his eye.

Because at this very moment, Lu Xun who was halfway up the mountain…

– Silently clicked on “Level Up!”

(ps: First update of the day. I went to the hospital this afternoon, had some eye problems, got some ointment, medicine, and eye drops.. Daily two updates will certainly be there in the coming days, additional updates depend on the condition of my eyes, but there should be extra updates too!)
