When Nan Hua’s voice and text emerged, Li Muyang’s view suddenly elevated, overlooking the entire Luoyang City.
Inside the bustling streets of Luoyang City, there now scattered numerous game characters, each with an ID above their head.
[Cao Cao][Yuan Shao][Great General He Jin][Liu Bei]...
These figures, with their glaring IDs in the crowd, were shrouded in dark red mist, exuding the aura of bosses.
In the heart of Luoyang City, within the central palace, stood a figure clad in imperial robes—the symbol of supreme authority—Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong.
He was seated at the banquet with a hearty smile, enjoying the performances below.
However, the dark red mist around him was the thickest, seeming incredibly oppressive.
This sudden shift to a godlike perspective immediately made things clear to Li Muyang.
"...So the final boss is Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, right?"
Defeat Liu Hong to clear the game?
But when Li Muyang tried to enter the perspective of a game character, he found he couldn’t.
He remained in a godlike, overhead view, without entering the body of any game character.
Despite the immersive experiences during the tutorial and with Little Wild Grass, this time it was third-person... Li Muyang tried to control the movements of a young boy in the alley with his thoughts.
The young boy in the alley began to walk outside, and character voice and text emerged in the view.
[Nan Hua: "I have taken refuge from the imperial dragon aura, borrowing a body to resurrect here. There isn’t much time; I must quickly pacify the souls in the city."]
As soon as Nan Hua finished speaking, several figures suddenly appeared outside the alley.
They wore the simple clothes of commoners, but they looked more like thugs.
Seeing the figure of the young boy, three thugs came up, surrounding him with sneers.
[Thug: "Hey kid, got any money on ya? Lend us brothers some to spend?"]
As the voice fell, a system prompt popped up.
[Fight/Escape]
This either/or system option immediately let Li Muyang guess the game’s control mode.
As soon as he chose to fight, the scene in his view suddenly changed.
Nan Hua stood in the lower-left corner of the view, while the three thugs were in the upper-right corner. In the center of the view was an action bar, next to Skills...
"Damn! A turn-based game, huh?"

He unleashed three Sword Qi strikes on the three brothers across from him, which was a group skill that Nan Hua started with, but after the Sword Qi struck down, three [-18] popped up above the brothers’ heads.
And the bearded Zhang Fei, wielding a snake spear, charged over and plunged Li Muyang’s health down by a third with one thrust.
[-366]
This...the difference in combat power is too huge!
Watching the brothers take turns beating Nan Hua to death in front of the tea stall.
In Li Muyang’s sight, the classic interface from turn-based games popped up.
[Battle Lost]
[Victory and defeat are common in military operations, Immortal, please start over]
"...These three brothers are kind of fierce," Li Muyang reloaded and found himself back at the moment he just left the alleys.
But this time he didn’t go looking for the Liu-Guan-Zhang trio.
These three brothers seemed like commoners with no imposing equipment, but unexpectedly their combat power was fierce; worthy of being Liu-Guan-Zhang indeed.
However, after this failure, he also realized the game NPC’s strength division.
Among the Liu-Guan-Zhang trio, Emperor Zhaolie had the least resentful mist around him, and the damage he dealt was also the lowest.
Clearly, the strength of NPCs in this game is directly proportional to the amount of resentful mist they carry.
The more resentful mist, the stronger they are.
Li Muyang controlled Nan Hua to walk to the other side of the street, avoiding the Liu-Guan-Zhang trio and also avoiding [Cao Cao] who rode by on a tall horse.
Finally, at the roadside, he encountered a general with very little resentful mist.
Not bothering to look at the name, with so little resentful mist, it was obvious the opponent was not a famous tough character.
Li Muyang directly controlled Nan Hua to strike, and sure enough, after entering the battle interface, he defeated the opponent and his two servants rather easily.
[Nan Hua Levels Up: LV2→LV3]
[Skill Comprehended: Sword Control Technique]
Looking at the system settlement interface’s leveling system, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good, the lesser the resentful mist on an NPC, the lower their combat power indeed.
He had found his leveling route.
The only thing was, after defeating these three NPCs, they too disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
This made Li Muyang somewhat murmur to himself.
—Isn’t the censorship level of this game a bit high? Not even a corpse can appear?
