There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 73: [Sword Dao Breakthrough)

“NPC Legend status? There’s such a thing?” Lu Xun looked at the notification, slightly taken aback.

It seems like they’re leading me down the path of a legendary Boss!

“I’m not going to have a health bar above my head, am I?” Lu Xun drew in a sharp breath.

What are the characteristics of those goofy gamers?

—They can’t resist chopping at a health bar when they see one!

He suddenly remembered an old adage that has been shared for years: “If you’ve never missed a boat here in this new version… If we’re buddies, come hack at me!”

“This damned Legend status, I’d rather not activate it for now.”

Lu Xun felt he needed to play it safe for a moment.

So, he chose not to unlock the [Ready to unlock] option.

Just leave it there for now and decide later based on the circumstances.

After all, he knew how to deal with players, or rather how to take advantage of players.

If used correctly, those goofy gamers could turn into crops ripe for harvesting. But if mishandled, they’d become a swarm of locusts covering the sky!

Everything depended on a single thought!

Meanwhile, the post on the forum continued to explode in popularity, swiftly becoming the hottest thread in the forum’s history!

What Lu Xun found most exaggerated was that under the leadership of a large number of female gamers and a small number of male gamers, they actually formed a fan group for him…

These people had no idea what his name was. Yet based on a single image, they claimed to be his fans!

“Such good looks, I’m drooling!”

Fan culture, or what commonly known as stan culture, had officially penetrated the gaming industry…

Under the guidance of some well-known female players, they even started a poll to give this Purple Name NPC in a black robe a nickname.

Eventually, under the suggestion of a lady who had a knack for crackerjack novels, the nickname “Purple Palace” won the most votes.

Given his purple name and a demeanor as noble as a prince, the name was apt.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xun almost dismantled the carriage in his indignation!

He felt a strong sense of queerness stemmed from it…

“Never mind, there’s always a price to pay for success.” Lu Xun consoled himself.

At least he had achieved his goal. Even before the official launch, he had already gained considerable popularity.

He even began to wonder if, once the players grew up and he stood at the top of Demon Sect Mountain, there would be a large group of fans desperately wanting to join the Demon Sect!

This is the power of being an idol!

The carriage was on the road, with both Zhuo Houyi and MO Guanji in high spirits.

Because they were almost at Qingling City.

Their task given by Lu Xun was to drive the carriage to Qingling City, which meant they were soon about to learn the “Eagle’s Claw” technique!

Along the way, they had forum posts to read, so the journey wasn’t boring for them.

Of course, they had no idea that the person inside the carriage was even more engrossed in reading these posts and enjoying their contents.

Qingling City was the closest city to several beginner villages in the vicinity.

Many players from large guilds and professional esports clubs would strive to explore this big city to see if they could gather any useful information.

A small amount of money earned from newbie quests might not even cover the travel expenses, but they could pool resources and send one or two members from each guild or club to take a look!

Lu Xun was lying in wait, hoping to come across some renowned professional players or higher-ups from various large guilds.

MO Guanji is someone Lu Xun planned to tag along, while Zhuo Houyi, for now, was just a spare tire who could be replaced at any time.

Remember, his pool of potential allies was vast, capable of accommodating many small fishes. Just because you’ve gotten into the pool, doesn’t mean you’re unique.

The amount of experience points he could use to issue tasks was limited, comparable to insufficient fish feed, and couldn’t feed everyone equally.

So, he just had to pick out a few of the tastiest fishes, grow them first, and then follow the principle of first aiding the rich to help the poor, striving to bring about prosperity in the pond as soon as possible!

The players were still too weak to be of much help now, but Lu Xun had to plant the seeds first. With proper cultivation, they were bound to grow into towering trees.

Upon reaching the city gate of Qingling City, MO Guanji carefully said to the carriage, “Immortal Master, we have arrived at Qingling City.”

The person in the carriage didn’t respond. Murong Yan lifted the curtain, signaled them to be quiet, and then gestured for them to park the carriage in a secluded corner.

Once the carriage was parked, Murong Yan’s chubby hand cast a spell, enveloping the vicinity of the carriage to prevent them from being disturbed by outsiders.

As it was late into the night.

The time had come, it was time for Lu Xun to bear the whipping of Second Elder Sister’s love.

The task of being enveloped in Sword Intent had a deadline of one month, and today marked the last day!

If he could endure this, he would complete the task and obtain 1 point of Swordsmanship Aptitude!

He wasn’t sure why, but while the first 29 days felt unbearable, on the 30th day, he felt somewhat reluctant.

Getting used to something was indeed a terrifying thing!

With his eyes closed, Ji Li sat quietly beside him. She could vaguely sense the Sword Intent radiating from Lu Xun, but couldn’t quite put it into words.

Sweat began to appear on Lu Xun’s forehead and the tip of his nose. Ji Li did not dare to wipe it off for him.

When Lu Xun opened his eyes, she clearly saw a glint of chill in his dark pupils!

It was an indelible chill!

The Wedding Sword in her grip subtly trembled.

“[Ding! Task completed, gained 1 point of Swordsmanship Aptitude.]”

Lu Xun immediately clicked on claim, and after a moment of hesitation, added the previously saved Special Attribute Point to his Swordsmanship Aptitude as well.

Since he had chosen this path, he might as well go all out to maximize it as this would yield maximum benefits to improving his initial strength!

Adding 2 points directly to Swordsmanship Aptitude, his Swordsmanship Aptitude instantly increased to 3!

He could vividly feel the changes in his Sword Heart and the small sword residing in it!

The Sword Heart became even more lucid, while the small sword within it became increasingly sharp!

A profound feeling welled up from his heart. He had obtained his own Sword Intent!

In his previous life, he also obtained the Stick Intent when he invested 3 points into Stick Aptitude. This was a threshold.

Lu Xun could even sense his sword sheath was getting excited!

Just for a moment, it once again caused an anomaly in the surroundings!

In Qingling City, all swords below the blue level, whether Grey Martial or Yellow Martial, began to tremble violently!

This was still fine, as the anomaly vanished in an instant and no one knew where it came from.

However, the sword sheath seemed overly excited, and a strong pressure from it made it difficult for all the nearby longswords to even raise their heads!

Lu Xun inwardly cried out a warning.
