There's Something Wrong With This Account-Chapter 403 - : 403, [The Favorability System is a Good Thing]

Chapter 403: 403, [The Favorability System is a Good Thing]

After the Ghost King was killed, a large amount of Ghost Qi that split from its body began to surge.

It split open.

It transformed into hundreds of low-level ghosts.

At this moment, sand sculpture players became excited all at once!

“We can’t do a thing to the Ghost King, it’s even difficult to break its defenses, it doesn’t lose a significant amount of health. But these low-level ghosts can be killed, ha ha ha, experience points, here I come!”

Immediately after, they saw the man in the distinctive black robe swing his sleeve without even turning his head.

A significant amount of Sword Qi sprayed from his sword sheath, piercing through the ghosts accurately one by one. In just a fraction of a breath, he had completely eliminated all the low-level ghosts in the vicinity.

Sand sculpture players: “…”

Purple Palace, won’t you ever leave us a way to survive?

Fortunately, there are still plenty of low-level ghosts in the city, hurry and charge in!

If we don’t go now, if the Purple Palace scratches an itch, isn’t our trip in vain?

Thereupon, the majority of the players began to rush into the city at high speed, while a small portion remained where they were, continuing to watch Lu Xun.

Lu Xiaoyu was standing not too far away, watching Lu Xun and not moving, as if she seemed a little lost in thought.

Seeing this, Xiao Long Bao secretly shouted in her heart that this was not good.

“Xiaoyu must be lost in memories because of Lu Xun, who has the same name as her brother.” she said in her heart.

We must quickly drag her out and distract her!

Xiao Long Bao raised her hand and pulled Lu Xiaoyu’s arm, beginning to drag her towards the city, and deliberately said in a contrived tone: “Xiaoyu, hurry and follow me to kill the ghosts, you have to protect me, I’m scared~”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoyu gave her best friend an annoyed glance, and then was dragged by her all the way towards the city.

Before entering the city, she took one last look at Lu Xun.

She saw Lu Xun with a warm smile on his face.

“Is he smiling at me?” she wondered, then shook her head: “It must be an illusion.”

…

…

Atop the city wall of Frost Feather City, Lu Xun stood there, watching the players jovially killing ghosts, yet his gaze and Divine Sense were mostly focused on Lu Yu’s figure.

He could roughly guess Xiao Long Bao’s true identity, it was probably Xiao Xiaoxiao, the rich and beautiful roommate of Little Yu, if nothing unexpected had happened.

This little girl has a very friendly nature and it could be said that Lu Xun was a fairly familiar friend of hers.

The reason why he didn’t recognize Xiao Long Bao at first sight was very simple. Every time she played a new game, she changed her nickname. Her previous nickname seemed to be… Xiao Mantou?

From Xiao Mantou to Xiao Long Bao, how much does she detest a certain part of herself… freewebnøvel.com

Unappreciative of the blessings in her midst!

Lu Xun held his sword sheath in his hand, feeling a little anxious about gaining and losing.

He just watched Lu Yu and Xiao Long Bao killing monsters over there, and has already wanted to take action more than ten times.

As soon as he saw a ghost approaching, he would reflexively want to slash it!

In reality, he didn’t need to do this at all, and it would also affect Lu Yu’s acquisition of experience points.

Lu Xun standing on the city wall had quite complicated thoughts in his heart.

Since he had crossed over, he had been thinking, did he really return to the past, or come to a parallel universe?

This is a very vexing question.

Either result would be a massive headache.

The only thing he could confirm was that in this time and space on Earth, there was no longer anyone named Lu Xun.

This could be verified in many ways.

And today, seeing Lu Yu and Xiao Long Bao’s behavior further reflected this situation from the side.

But thankfully, Lu Xun is not a person who likes to worry about things.

Life has imposed too many hardships on these siblings, causing them to understand from a young age: contentment leads to happiness.

The fact that he didn’t completely die, and is living well on the Heavenly Dust Continent, is in itself a blessing.

If you think too much at this time, you’ll live negatively, you’ll live tiredly.

And now being able to meet Lu Yu here, Lu Xun is also delighted.

He’s not a greedy man.

The heavens haven’t made him completely leave Lu Yu, and he can interact with her in this magical way, in his eyes, this is already fortunate.

——It’s just a different way of companionship.

Anyway, it’s better than never being able to see her, right?

And he had an intuition that he always felt Heavenly Dust Continent was not as simple as he had previously imagined, and his arrival, as well as the various events happening now, might hold some mystery.

Because many things were revealing traces of weirdness from the details!

These are all things he needs to slowly dig up and discover.

“The journey of life is long, you can’t rush.” he said in his heart.

Suddenly, Lu Xun’s eyebrows suddenly twitched.

Because he saw a sleazy male player running over enthusiastically to help kill the ghosts.

It appeared to be the one who was misdirecting from the start when grouping outside the city.

“You want to pick up girls?”

“It’s my sister you’re trying to pick up!”

“Scratch that!!!”

Lu Xun was just about to do something, when he saw Xiao Long Bao boot away a male player with one kick.

“Go chill somewhere else! Haven’t gotten to you yet for what happened during the team fight! And you dare try to mooch off the President and Vice President’s experience points? You’re asking for trouble!” Xiao Long Bao, always an unqualified hooligan.

Lu Xun nodded silently, thinking to himself: “This lass might be always monkeying around, but she sure can hold her own when the chips are down.”

…

…

The ghosts within the city were soon cleaned up by the players.

The lucky ones even dropped low-level ghost beads.

This was a great material for artifact refining; it could be sold for quite a few spirit stones.

Lu Xun stood on the ramparts all this time; after Ye Sui’an finished dealing with the ghosts surrounding him, he soared over to his side.

The players started gathering below the city wall, staring at the Purple Palace in the sky, without dispersing for a long time.

It’s not every day you run into the world protagonist; they were thrilled just at the prospect of watching him for a bit.

A notification popped up before Lu Xun.

“[Ding! Quest [Guard Lonely City] has been completed. Would you like to claim the rewards?]”

Without hesitation, Lu Xun chose to claim the reward.

To his surprise, another notification quickly popped up.

“[Ding! This quest has a second phase. Would you like to take the follow-up quest?]”

Lu Xun was somewhat surprised, but after looking through the quest details, he realized there would be another wave of ghosts the next night.

“They’re practically handing me experience points on a plate,” Lu Xun mused to himself.

Thus, after taking the quest, he glanced over the sea of players, and said aloud:

“Well done.”

For someone like him, a simple compliment was more than enough.

Then, he said: “Tomorrow, at midnight, more ghosts will emerge here. Are you willing to stay and guard this lonely city?”

In return, he was greeted with countless cries of “Yes.”

Only a fool would refuse. Isn’t killing ghosts fun?

Besides, by doing so they could spend another day with the Purple Palace. How delightful!

Lu Xun gave them a slight smile and nodded.

This way, Lu Yu would surely stick around here too.

The next moment, his figure vanished from the spot.

Ye Sui’an stood there, puzzled as Elder Lu disappeared to some secluded area for peace, and then awkwardly cleared his throat before disappearing from the players’ sight.

Before all the players, a notification popped up.

“[Ding! Your favorability with Lu Xun increased by +1!]”

The players’ enthusiasm instantly surged.

“Favorability! Holy crap! It’s favorability with Purple Palace!”

“Ah! Stop me, I have to show off on the forums!”

“Oh god, even if I grind favorability with other NPCs to the dozens, it’s not as exciting as this one point of favorability with him. Am I sick?”

No choice, after all, Lu Xun’s identity was something else. He was the world’s protagonist after all!

And players are easily satisfied. Have you ever spent a lot of time and energy aiming for things like achievements or titles when you play games?

In their minds, the Purple Palace’s favorability was completely like a high-end achievement that they could show off.

In the crowd, only the male player who messed up the team fight and didn’t realize his mistake, and later wanted to show off in front of Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Long Bao, was left dumbfounded.

“Huh? Why didn’t I get favorability with the Purple Palace?!” he started asking around.

“Did you guys get it?”

“Yeah! Hahahaha!”

“Hey lady, did you get it too?”

“Yes! Yiyiyi!”

Dammit! I can’t be the only one not getting it, right?

On the other side, Xiao Long Bao, was whispering to Lu Xiaoyu with a surprised face.

“It tickles!” Lu Xiaoyu, feeling the heat on her ear, gently pushed Xiao Long Bao away, indicating that she should keep a distance.

Xiao Long Bao deliberately rubbed her nose hard against Lu Xiaoyu’s ear, and then whispered: “Little Fish, my favorability increased more than theirs! I gained 5 favorability points!”

Then, she started analysing to herself: “Do you think…it’s because I’m the guild president?”

Lu Xiaoyu didn’t say a word.

But she knew clearly in her heart, that shouldn’t be the case.

In fact, right now, her exterior looks as usual, calm and aloof. But internally, she is more surprised than Xiao Long Bao.

Because the notification in front of her eyeballs, was different from anyone else’s.

It read:

“[Ding! Your favorability with Lu Xun increased by +20! (Note: You have reached the maximum favorability gain in a single interaction with an NPC)]”
