Chapter 257: 257, [New Sword-Serving Children] (Looking for Monthly Tickets)

Translator: 549690339

All Demon Sect Players who had taken up tasks received the information about the completion of the tasks at the same time.

The content each of them received was different.

For instance, the top three players in the rankings of the Outer Sect Competition would receive additional Experience Points rewards.

Players who were selected by Lu Xun would receive a location marker, asking them to head to that location.

Lu Xun was waiting for them at that location.

This time, he had selected four players from the rest of the Demon Sect Players.

Together with Mo Guanji and Han Bagui, there were six in total.

These six Sword-Serving Children would be his focus for training next.

Lu Xun had calculated beforehand, given his daily limit of Experience Points, training five or six players was relatively appropriate.

If the number was higher, the Experience Points distributed to each would be less, making it hard for these players to maintain their advantage.

Cai Jiangjiang, a pseudololi who loves to dress in white stockings and acts like a malevolent young girl, was somewhat stunned as she saw the marker in her tasks interface.

As a tactical master, she was not good at individual combat. She had been knocked out early by an ungentlemanly brute.

Her final ranking among the Demon Sect players was in the twenties. It was not bad, but it was definitely not outstanding either.

The Demon Sect was one of the seven Great Sects. Coupled with Lu Xun’s rising popularity and his charisma, many professional players chose to join the Demon Sect. Among them, there were certainly many top-level players.

For Cai Jiangjiang to achieve such a rank in individual combat was already an extraordinary performance.

“Ah, it’s a pity that there’s no team competition in the Outer Sect Competition. If there were, I could definitely showcase my strengths to the Purple Palace!”

Cai Jiangjiang always felt some regret about that.

She had completely given up on the position of Sword Servant Girl. Even if she saw a marker on the task interface now, she didn’t think too much about it, assuming everyone else received it too.

Still, she hurriedly moved her slender legs and quickly headed to the marked location.

“The reason I’m rushing is definitely not because I want to see the Purple Palace soon!”

“I’m already in my twenties and have long passed the stage of teenage crushes.”

“Cai Jiangjiang, you just dress up like a loli to make money. Don’t you forget, you have the heart of a mature woman!”

“White stockings adorn your body, but black stockings are in your heart!”

“A mature woman shouldn’t be caught up in puppy love!”

Although Cai Jiangjiang convinced herself of this, her pace didn’t slow. In fact, it kept getting faster.

The location was next to a waterfall.

Yes, the waterfall known as the “Great Waterfall”.

The name of the Demon Sect gives off a very casual vibe, and the names of the scenic spots within the sect are even more casual.

When Cai Jiangjiang arrived, she saw that three players were already waiting there.

She immediately noticed the tallest and most robust one among the three, who was nicknamed “Wang Gangtie”.

He was already a somewhat famous professional player. The reason Cai Jiangjiang remembered him so well was that he was the one who had knocked her out of the competition, and in an extremely “cruel” manner, which could be described as breaking flowers without mercy.

Wang Gangtie’s thought process was simple: “Such a cute girl, so soft, it’d be a waste if I didn’t hit her a few more times.”

No joke, this iron-hearted man really did have a pair of iron fists!

What annoyed Cai Jiangjiang the most was that this guy actually kept winning, eventually clinching the third place among the players!

As for the other two, Cai Jiangjiang was even more familiar with them.

The one who cheerfully waved at her was called “Li Zuole”. He was a notorious ladies’ man in the esports industry, and had been involved with countless female broadcasters. There was no one he committed to.

But this done player was incredibly powerful. Definitely a top-level player, he garnered the first place among the players.

Cai Jiangjiang had watched his matches carefully. This shameless man’s in-game movements were flashy and flamboyant, making a show of his victory!

He deserved to be the first.

Han Bagui, who was second among the players, was not at this location. He was the only one missing from the top three; the reason was unknown.

The player standing next to Li Zuole was called “Xiao Guangming”, another old friend of Cai Jiangjiang. In this individual battle, he ranked eleventh.

Cai Jiangjiang had specially checked on his duels and commented from the heart, “The name is ‘Guangming’ (Brightness), but each move is darker than the last, such a master of dirty tricks!”

Like her, he wasn’t fit for ring matches, put him in the field and he could explode with greater strength.

This guy is the poster child for bush-hiding dogs, his personal style is dog-like and dark, with a shady touch.

An assassin type, good at stealth and ambush.

However, once exposed, he can even unleash an [Unparalleled], after all… as long as everyone is killed, it’s considered a perfect stealth operation!

From this, one can see that his strength is quite formidable, he wasn’t suited for ring matches but he was close to making the top ten.

Moreover, perhaps due to the loneliness and coldness he felt while hiding, this man is quite the chatterbox in normal days, the kind of person with a strong “Youthful Greasiness” vibe. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Everyone should understand what “Middle-aged Greasiness” means, as for “Youthful Greasiness”, it refers to the following types of people:

“Not good looking, but non-stop bravado;

Doesn’t read books, but always acts pretentious;

Doesn’t understand but always argues;

Pretty much like that.

Xiao Guangming looked at Cai Jiangjiang and greeted, “Yo, finally a girl comes along, heh.”

Cai Jiangjiang showed one of her signature sweet smiles and said in her cute loli voice, “Why are there only a few of us here?”

“I wonder about that too!” Wang Gangtie responded with a full voice.

“Don’t know if everyone is present yet.” Li Zuole turned his head towards the waterfall and said, “Jiangjiang, you might want to stand back a bit. The waterfall splashes a lot, don’t want you to get wet.”

With that, he made a gentlemanlike motion to shield Cai Jiangjiang, appearing to be very considerate.

When a woman sticks with him, she will feel especially at ease, as he could take every emotion into consideration, making life very joyous.

Such a pity he’s a jerk.

The maxim of this jerk is: “Apart from happiness, I can give you nothing else.”

Xiao Guangming looked at the other three and said, “Purple Palace should be making its appearance soon, right? Do you think we might have been…Holy crap!”

Before he could finish his sentence, a staggering scene caught his sight.

A figure quickly descended along the waterfall above.

He was dressed in a black robe, holding a black sword sheath, and had a piece of Spirit Bamboo, common in the Outer Sects, under his feet.

After plummeting from the waterfall, he touched down on the Spirit Bamboo from the height.

His black hair fluttering in the wind, from their angle, it looked as if the sun high in the sky was right behind him, segmented by his flowing hair.

The sunlight streamed through the gaps in his hair, making the figure a bit dazzling.

It looked as if he was aglow!

The Spirit Bamboo swiftly fell onto the water surface of the waterfall, and the figure descended along with it.

Despite the height from which he fell, nary a splash came up, nor was there the sound of water.

Only delicate ripples spread on the water surface, as if it’s not a man and a piece of Spirit Bamboo that fell, but a small feather!

The Spirit Bamboo glided slowly on the water surface. Lu Xun gently tapped his toes, and his figure disappeared without a trace, leaving only afterimages.

When he showed up again, he was not far from the four of them.

His black robe, however, did not show any sign of water drops!

Watching all this happening, Cai Jiangjiang opened her mouth slightly, her mind shook, looking infatuated, she almost blurted out:

“So… so handsome!”

(ps: Tomorrow I will return to my usual update speed, I’ll aim to help you pass a few extra minutes each day!

Speaking of which, it’s going to be a new month in a few hours. I would really appreciate your basic monthly tickets. Instead of keeping your monthly tickets till the end of the month, it’s best to use them at the beginning of the month. This way, my book can climb higher in the leaderboard, get more exposure, and benefit the book performance. I’m counting on all of you. Thank you.)
