Chapter 152: 152, 【Charge forward, damn it】 (Request for monthly tickets!)

Translator: 549690339

For the entire day, Lu Xun basically confined himself in his room, only stepping out to cook for the people of the back mountain.

It can’t be helped; he also has the part-time job of being the back mountain’s chef.

It’s just a pity that being a chef doesn’t reward any Experience Points. I am, after all, serving the NPCs!

While Lu Xun was in his room, he mostly spent his time writing and drawing on the two small booklets, then revising and modifying them.

Because of the early public beta, some of his planned schedules were disrupted. Some of them needed to be advanced, some needed to be delayed, and some might even be canceled.

But that doesn’t matter. Having the players arrive a year earlier means they can be exploited for an extra year. By throwing out some more of his own integrity and lowering his bottom line a bit, he can easily earn it back.

Be a bit more ruthless, and live a bit better.

Besides, with so many players shouting “I’m a fan of Only the Purple Palace”, how could he divide the loyal fans and casual fans without bleeding a bit for the Purple Palace?

“On the other hand, I should advance the date of going down the mountain,” Lu Xun thought.

Always staying in the Demon Sect isn’t a solution either. Before the players arrive, he still has quite a few hidden quests to do first.

After briefly revisiting the contents of those two booklets, Lu Xun put them back in his storage ring.

After sitting cross-legged on his bed, Lu Xun opened up his own character panel.

Upgrading the Sword Cultivating Technique before had consumed 75,000 Experience Points. Now he only had little more than 130,000 Experience Points left.

After contemplating for a while, he spent 100,000 Experience Points to level up the Nameless Technique by one level, upgrading his Character Level smoothly to Level 12, making him a Cultivator of the Initial Realm, 2nd layer.

100,000 Experience Points just for one level, Lu Xun felt it was extremely painful. But seeing the robust Spirit Force within his body, a smile couldn’t help but form on Lu Xun’s face.

This Spirit Force, it looks just as fierce as its shape suggests.

As a matter of fact, it’s even fiercer when utilised!

After upgrading his Character Level, Lu Xun saw that he still had some Experience Points left. So, he leveled up the Ancient Five Elements Formation by one level as well, which cost him 20,000 Experience Points.

Suddenly, only a little more than 10,000 Experience Points was left.

As for Sword Cultivating Technique… it wouldn’t be upgraded again any time soon, unless he gets another Swordsmanship Skill Upgrade Coupon, and it must be a high-grade one.

To upgrade the Sword Cultivating Technique with Experience Points, he would need an entire 400,000!

Using an upgrading coupon to upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5 was equal to getting 180,000 Experience Points for free. But this 400,000 Experience Points is too scary. He won’t be able to get that much in the short term, even if he could get that many Experience Points, Lu Xun would prioritize upgrading the Nameless Technique.

The Sword Cultivating Technique is ultimately just a technique, and Level 5 is already quite enough for now. The further he progresses, the more Spirit Force will be consumed each time he casts out the Sword Qi. If Lu Xun’s Character Level doesn’t keep up, he might become depleted after casting only one or two swords.

He can’t keep letting his body drain like this!

Now look at his current Special Attribute Points:

[Swordsmanship Aptitude 4]

[Formation Qualification 2]

[Spiritual Power 1]

[Enlightenment 1]

[Luck 1] (Cannot upgrade)

[Charisma 10] (Already at the Cap)

No one would think that this is just a Level 12 character by looking at these Special Attributes.

Especially this Swordsmanship Aptitude, it’s so imposing!

Even his previous main account in his past life, after reaching the full Level of 60, only had a Stick Aptitude of 7.

That 7-point Stick Aptitude was already extremely impressive. After all, the top players in the game only have a single attribute at 8 points.

Back in the day, the phrase “Eat the stick” would make countless players tremble in fear upon hearing about it and shiver with fear, unable to close their legs from fear, and firmly established his reputation as the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero.

Lu Xun reminisced about his exciting past, a smile appearing on his face.

With his current overall strength, he would have no problem leading the silly players.

On the contrary, if his levels are too high and too far ahead of the players, there would be… limited use for him for the time being.

This pacing, it’s just about perfect!

After finishing all this, Lu Xun stood up and left the room.

It was time for him to cook dinner.

…

…

A wisp of cooking smoke rose up at the back of the mountain, Lu Xun had made seven dishes and a soup.

Everyone still dined in the bamboo forest at the rear mountain. The master had also returned from the main peak, and no one knew what he had been doing beforehand.

The master was still the same as before, a bit “disregarding of others”.

His gaze hardly stayed on Lu Xun, he would always look at other places.

After the meal, Lin Chan began to tidy up the dishes while Lu Xun informed the master and his fellow disciples that he wanted to descend the mountain for practice in a few days’ time.

“Little Junior Brother, why do you want to leave the mountain again!” Mao Nanbei stopped eating and voiced her strong dissatisfaction.

I’m still a child, even though I haven’t been growing much, but I still need to eat and drink well every day!

What if I start to develop one day!?

Once you leave, the third senior brother will have to feed us all crap again, everyone will be forced to fast!

“Fourth senior sister, my cultivation base is still weak, I need to gain more experience in the mundane world.” Lu Xun made up an excuse.

After saying that, he laughed and said: “Before I leave this time, I will ferment some things and make some sauce, sister fourth, you will definitely like them, they can last for a long time.”

“Really? Slurp! Oh, I don’t want you to stay not just because of this though! Slurp!” Mao Nanbei’s cat ears moved back and forth, she had already began to look forward to the delicious taste.

Seeing Lu Xun’s words, after thinking for a while, she added: “These inspirations come from our third senior brother. I had some feelings while discussing the culinary path with him the other day, that’s how I came up with this idea.”

This was, of course, nonsense. The third senior brother was unmatchable in dark cooking, it would be good enough if the food he made was not poisonous. What Lu Xun said was merely to take care of his feelings. He let him feel that the delicious food that Lu Xun made also had his credit.

It would prevent from Mao Nanbei preferring to eat Lu Xun’s pickled food rather than his hot… cooked dishes, which would upset him.

The master was leaning on the bamboo, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and said: “Little Five, you should go down the mountain more, it’s beneficial for your cultivation.”

After saying that, he continued: “I will instruct you on something when you leave the mountain.”

“Please tell me, Master!” Lu Xun was immediately interested. This was the rhythm of accepting a mission!

“I will tell you before you descend the mountain.” The master waved his hand and said.

Lu Xun nodded, then remembered something, and said to the master: “Master, before I descend the mountain, I want to visit the Transmission Tower.”

“You may.” The master didn’t ask much.

Lu Xun’s purpose was very simple, he wanted to see if there were any suitable skill books in the Transmission Tower.

When he checked his character panel today, he found that he had a shortcoming.

— He’s not tanky enough!

In the same realm, he was definitely the kind with explosive output, but he had few defensive methods.

The spiritual power in his body was equivalent to the mana bar, his mana bar was very long, much longer than the health bar.

Many people enjoy the thrill of dancing on the edge of the knife when playing games, a wave of crazy output, if you didn’t kill the enemy in a flash, the one who died would be this squishy player.

Show off!

And what’s weird is that the worse their performance, the more they loved to flaunt!

However, since Lu Xun lived in this world, it would always be good to have more life-saving methods.

Only when he was tanky enough would he be bold enough to fight, to fight with abandon and brute force through everything!

Moreover, he was walking the path of “man is the sword”. Since man is the sword, then he now…

At most he was a soft sword.

This won’t do!
