There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 237: 237 [I heard you all want to be my Sword-Serving Child]

Translator: 549690339

Lu Xun stood tall atop a bamboo branch, looking at the game nicknames above the players’ heads. It would be strange if he couldn’t tell they were players.

In the crowd, hardly anyone had a decent nickname. These were all such shoddy, random names!

Among various Outer Sect Disciples, he indeed spotted a good number of professional players.

After carefully recalling, some seemed to be Demon Sect Players from his past life, while others apparently weren’t. He guessed that his handsome butterfly wings had fluttered, triggering a butterfly effect.

However, Lu Xun didn’t have the kind of plug-in to remember everything clearly after a transmigration. Some of his memories were, in fact, a bit blurry. Fortunately, he remembered the key points clearly.

Overall, he was satisfied with the current lineup of Demon Sect’s professional players.

There were talents in all areas, and it seemed fairly comprehensive. With specific training, during the Sect Wars, Demon Sect’s ranking would certainly not be bad.

Lu Xun scanned the crowd and finally spotted his other Sword-Serving Child in the crowd— Han Bagui.

He still had that simple-minded look, wearing a soft hat on his head, and on top of the hat lay a small tortoise that looked as simple-minded as he did.

“Why is this tortoise still following him?” Lu Xun was a little puzzled.

After the beta test ended, Han Bagui went offline for two years. It’s unreasonable for this little tortoise to have such spirituality and wait for him for two years, right?

Perhaps it was a different tortoise. After all, Qingling City was indeed a tortoise paradise. Free-roaming turtles filled the streets, and to Lu Xun, they all looked the same.

Most of the players stayed in groups. Only Han Bagui stood alone on the outskirts. The only company he had was the little turtle on his hat, who had retracted its limbs inside its shell and left only its head sticking out.

Lu Xun had initially taken him as a Sword-Serving Child out of genuine talent appreciation.

Of course, the main reason was that Han Bagui’s combat style was very similar to his in his past life.

They were both players with a high level of consciousness, whose combat styles were also quite aggressive.

As mentioned before, Han Bagui wasn’t initially a professional player and seemed quite young. Rumor had it that when professional clubs later recruited him, they negotiated with his parents, suggesting that he might be underage.

It’s a shame that after becoming a professional player, he seemed to have disappeared.

Later, a rumor spread that the kid had mild autism.

They said he couldn’t adapt to the environment in professional club at all.

Who knows what his parents’ thoughts were at that time, their feelings must have been quite complicated.

After some brief interactions with Han Bagui, Lu Xun felt that the rumor might not be false. There were indeed some autistic symptoms in him.

He even suspected that Han Bagui not only didn’t see the NPCs as humans, which was normal… But he might also not see the players as humans!

He seemed to see everything as part of the game.

That’s probably why he was more comfortable in the game.

Lu Xun pulled his gaze back from Han Bagui and switched into brilliant-actor mode.

He began, “Heavenly Dao has collapsed, and you all have become Anomalies.”

The humorous players thought to themselves, “As expected, the Purple Palace can distinguish the identity of Anomalies! Worthy of being the World Protagonist, the future NPC world leader!”

Lu Xun continued, “Your anomalies have had a significant impact on the whole continent.”

“Despite this, I have high expectations for you, I believe you are different from others.”

Here it comes! Another solid hint that the Purple Palace is the World Protagonist!

Look at the attitude of Purple Palace towards us players, it’s obviously friendly from the start!

The World Protagonist will lead the players in the future, so this attitude is normal and doesn’t strain any comprehension.

If the World Protagonist was disdainful of players, it would be a bit too spicy.

Generally, the World Protagonist is the leader of the main storyline, and we have to follow him.

If so, a friendly attitude is the normal attitude. If Purple Palace isn’t the World Protagonist, we’re a bunch of shit eaters!

As he spoke these words, Lu Xun’s eyes were filled with complex emotions, seemingly calm, yet in that calmness was a turbulent undercurrent, brimming with superb acting.

In the eyes of the players, the mood and thoughts of the Purple Palace seemed very complex, but…complexity is just right!

Aren’t people burdened with great responsibilities supposed to look like this?

An unfathomable gaze, and the humorous players will engage in self-compensation.

The most important thing was, Lu Xun felt that he was quite charming when he made that gaze.

And he was well aware that once his identity as the World Protagonist was cemented, what the players desired most would be more interactions with him, eagerly wanting to move around him.

In that case, everything would be very easy to handle.

After conveying his attitude towards the players, he turned his expectant gaze on them and said, “In a few days, it will be the Outer Sect grand compare.”

“Although your cultivation time is short, I look forward to your performance.”

Having said that, he casually wrote up a task and issued it to all the players in the field.

A task prompt popped up in front of everyone.

Task name: [World Protagonist’s Expectations].

Yes, he made up the task name himself.

But the players didn’t think so!

So, the dog-ass thing decided to ride the dog wave.

It doesn’t matter if I’m a fake protagonist, I’ll just craft some evidence to show that I’m the protagonist!

So, the moment they saw the task name, the atmosphere on the scene instantly heated up!

They had only speculated about the identity of Purple Palace before, and although some signs could potentially be counted as evidence, they weren’t very convincing.

But now, the most concrete evidence has finally appeared!

It’s irrefutable!

What are you waiting for? Screenshot it, post it on the forum, show off!

I have a World Protagonist in my Sect, do you?

You little punks, envying us for being with the protagonist, talking on forums every day that the Purple Palace isn’t necessarily the protagonist, even listing a bunch of reasons, pretending to be scholarly, I’m going to slap your faces right now!

On the bamboo branch, Lu Xun, standing with his hands behind his back, looked at the collectively excited silly gamers, a satisfied smile spread across his face.

After their excitement, the gamers started to read the quest details.

The quest required gamers to perform well at the Outer Sect Competition, and the most outstanding ones would have a chance to become Lu Xun’s Sword-Serving Child!

At the same time, there were experience points rewards.

The best performing player would receive 10,000 points, the second would receive 5,000, the third would receive 3,000 points!

For a newbie quest, the total experience points actually reached 18,000!

The newbie gamers had never seen a quest with such generous rewards!

For the current gamers, a few thousand experience points were already a huge amount, and 10,000 experience points could directly widen the gap with others in the early stage!

In the newbie stage, 10,000 experience points are enough to level up several times, how could players from the major guilds and esports clubs not be moved?

Of course, what they desired most was this Sword-Serving Child position.

Although this title might sound a bit embarrassing, who cares, that’s the Purple Palace!

We’re a Sword-Serving Child in our sect, but a god when we go out!

In many novels, the Jade Emperor was once just a child of the Dao Ancestor, what’s there to be ashamed of?

If nothing went wrong, the forums would explode again after Lu Xun left, and the high-level members of many major guilds and esports clubs would have to convene an emergency meeting again.

In the crowd, Han Bagui was still just the naive soul, while Mo Guanji was somewhat smug.

Heh heh! When you guys are fighting for the Sword-Serving Child’s position, I’ll step forward and tell you that I’m your Sword Master Brother!

Mo Guanji looked up at Lu Xun, their gazes met exactly.

Lu Xun casually shot him a look, letting him figure it out on his own.

Mo Guanji accurately received the message, indicating that although he was now a Sword-Serving Child, he would work twice as hard to make a mark at the Outer Sect Competition!

Now, the enthusiasm of the Demon Sect Players was fully roused. And the overall atmosphere became different from before.

Now, all of them are both partners and competitors for the quest.

In Lu Xun’s view, healthy competition is necessary.

He just observed and thought that Demon Sect Players were slightly slack.

Now it’s different. For most professional players, the game is their career. No one wants to be left behind, everyone wants to become famous overnight.

And they know very well, these rare opportunities to become a Sword-Serving Child, aren’t many, once missed, it would be hard to come by.

Ah! Suddenly I feel a bit nervous, what happened? Such a sense of urgency!

Well, who made Lu Xun feel that too much comfort is not a good thing?

Therefore, he decided to step forward…

…to sell anxiety!

There are many Outer Sect Disciples in the Demon Sect, and the place where Lu Xun and the silly gamers are situated is not particularly quiet, so there are still many Outer Sect Disciples walking around.

Seeing Lu Xun, they would respectfully salute, then see Young Elder seemingly attending to affairs, they would consciously leave.

They are all high-quality fans, both polite and cute.

At this time, a silvery laughter came from a distance, six Outer Sect female disciples walked together, laughing and joking as they walked.

They all wore the standard black dress of the Demon Sect, barely regarded as the ancient style uniform of another world.

A slim waist, long straight legs, or slightly protruding, or spectacularly eye-catching certain parts, constituting a beautiful scenery of the Outer Sect.

Ji Li also happened to be among them, and was the most noticeable one.

As soon as the six female disciples noticed Lu Xun, they promptly saluted loudly, “Greetings Young Elder!”

In Lu Xun’s ears, this voice was full of respect.

In the ears of male players, this voice was coquettish, making everyone’s souls become soft.

There are many high-quality little witches in the Outer Sect of Demon Sect. A lot of players’ loyalty went straight up when they saw them!

The six girls saw Young Elder seemed busy with something and didn’t dare to disturb, so they prepared to leave.

Lu Xun stood on a high place looking at Ji Li, who looked back three times for every step she took, smiled, and then started talking.

He had a warm smile, making one feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

His voice was also magnetic with a hint of tenderness.

Lu Xun looked at her, and said in front of all the players, “Ji Li, you stay.”

(PS: This chapter is quite long.

I recommend a new book “Reborn in Tokyo as a Voice Actor,” written by Nan Tingting, who does the voiceover for our novel’s female characters.

Nan Tingting herself is a professional female voice actor, so she’s quite reliable.

I have become an Alliance Hierarch in this book, so I have paid the teasing fee for you guys, feel free to tease her, heh)
