Chapter 57: The Woman Looks Down and Doesn’t See Her Feet



Entering the game’s main page again, Li Muyang chose to start from the beginning this time.

He loaded the save where the youth woke up in the alley, brutally solved three doomed ruffians right at the start, completed this tutorial level, and then headed straight for the outside of the alley.

The last save took too much time on pathfinding, so by the time ghosts swarmed out, his level was too low, and he couldn’t pass through.

This time with experience, Li Muyang headed straight for his target from the start.

After all, the NPCs in this city all stayed in one place and wouldn’t wander around.

The originally rough game details now conveniently benefited Li Muyang.

He quickly moved around the city according to his memory, constantly looking for weak characters of equal strength, defeating them to gain Experience Points.

Those scattered, weak generals in Luoyang City were all found and defeated by Li Muyang one by one.

His level was also rapidly increasing. Discover hidden tales at novelhall.Côm

Finally, when he defeated the last weak NPC and advanced to LV50, Li Muyang began to challenge the named generals.

Following the path, he found the nearest NPC, "Guodian, the Prefect of Julu."

This was a minor three-site character, and Li Muyang hadn’t even heard of him.

But his combat power was nearly on par with that of the young Yuan Shao.

Li Muyang stepped forward to challenge, defeated Prefect Guodian of Julu, advanced to LV51, and obtained a Grudgeful Soul Treasure Bead.

After Li Muyang broke through to LV51 and obtained his first Grudgeful Soul Treasure Bead, a mysterious fairy shrouded in mist promptly appeared.

[Mysterious Fairy: "Who art thou? How dare thou trespass this dragon haunted territory?"]

Seeing the mysterious fairy appear, Li Muyang didn’t say a word and just fled.

He activated his Divine Skill, Shrinking Earth into Inches, and immediately escaped.

After escaping from the Dragon Fairy, Li Muyang found another NPC of equal strength and initiated a challenge.

At LV50, he could tackle those named minor three-site characters.

At LV70, he could fight a somewhat powerful second-tier character like Gong Sunzan.

As for first-tier characters filled with a tangible aura of resentment like Liu Guanzhang and Great General He Jin, Li Muyang estimated he would need LV85 or even LV90 to stand a chance.

Using the Divine Skill, Shrinking Earth into Inches, he dashed madly around the city, constantly searching for NPCs of equal strength to challenge.

Every time he defeated an NPC general, the mist-wreathed mysterious fairy would arrive promptly.

Occasionally, if Li Muyang ran too slowly, the suddenly appearing mysterious fairy would kill him with a single strike.

But with saves available, as long as he could reload in time, Li Muyang could still continue the game process.

Running from a dangerous BOSS while chopping down enemies, this gameplay was somewhat reminiscent of the temple runs he had played before.

This time, he finally had enough vengeful spirit beads.

With the light continuously emanating from him, every evil spirit that emerged from beneath was pacified one after another.

The mystical fairy deployed a barrier that continuously pushed back and finally restored the cracked ground completely in the grand hall.

[Mystical Fairy: So it turns out that Your Excellency was disrupting the city to aid me...]

[Mystical Fairy: Thank you for your help]

The always aloof mystical fairy finally showed goodwill towards Li Muyang at this moment.

She dispersed the fog around her and with a cool expression, gently bowed to Li Muyang.

This action caused a heart-stirring tremor, almost captivating Li Muyang’s gaze.

—Indeed, the greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull!

My physics teacher did not deceive me.

As Li Muyang completed the game, the system displayed the settlement interface.

[You helped the mystical fairy suppress the city’s vengeful spirits, preventing an impending disaster]

[Although temporarily suppressing them cannot eradicate the vengeful spirits’ resentment...]

[Drinking poison to quench thirst is still better than letting all living beings come to harm...]

[Game—"Three Kingdoms: Skies Suppressing the Demons Chronicles" has been cleared]

[Mystical Fairy: Survived]

[Resentful Ghost: Unpacified]

[Clearance Rating: E (Passable)]

[You relied on powerful Divine Skills and swift actions, saving the mystical fairy before the situation collapsed and assisting her in suppressing the vengeful spirits, earning a bit of goodwill from the mystical fairy. Nevertheless, the resentment of the city’s vengeful spirits still lingers, and the disaster has only been delayed for some time]

[You may now claim your clearance reward, do you wish to claim your clearance reward?]

[Current selectable reward (choose one): Cultivation Realm +1 (From Qi Refining Seventh Heaven to Qi Refining Eighth Heaven), random ordinary Magic Artifact X1]

[Host, please note, after claiming the reward, the game entry will close, and you cannot enter again]

...

"Good grief, the clearance rating stinks, not only is the reward now a choice between two, but the content of the rewards has also turned to trash."

Flying swords belong to the category of magic artifacts with high power and cost-effectiveness. Previously, even the worst clearance reward was an ordinary flying sword.

And now directly random Magic Artifact X1 ... what if it randomizes some trash magic artifact, still not as good as a flying sword.

Li Muyang opened his eyes and sighed.

"It seems this game, like the mystery of Loushan City, requires a perfect score to obtain high-value rewards."
