Chapter 28: 028, [Understanding the Silence Package]

“I’m done eating!” In the bamboo forest, Mao Nanbei rubbed her round little belly, putting down the chopsticks in her hand.

To be precise, she didn’t finish eating, she ate everything.

Not only had she and Mao Nanbei finished, even the dishes that floated down from the stone were empty.

It was clear that both the second senior sister and the fourth senior sister had praised their little junior brother’s cooking skills with their actual actions.

“Burp- – Mao Nanbei was the first to belch.

She quickly covered her mouth with her little hand, with a look of confusion on her face, pretending to be innocent, as if saying, “You all heard wrong, it’s not my fault.”

Then, she belched again.

The sound slipped through the gaps in her fingers, clear and audible.

Obviously, no matter how high one’s cultivation base is, this natural bodily reaction can’t be suppressed.

Therefore, the cold Taoist nun sitting on the stone also belched after resisting for a while.

The sound was very soft, but both Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei heard it.

This annoyed her a bit, so she waved her hand and started to fend people off.

Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei quickly ran away. Before leaving the bamboo forest, he couldn’t help but take another look at the back of his second senior sister.

“Second senior sister really appears thin.” He thought to himself.

The large Daoist robe draped over her body highlighted her thinness even more.

It felt as if she was too thin.

A strange idea popped into Lu Xun’s mind:

“Should I try to fatten her up?”

It should be interesting.

As for whether he could successfully fatten up his second senior sister, Lu Xun does not have an answer for the moment. Everyone has different physical constitutions, and each cultivator’s constitution varies greatly.

But he will definitely prepare the three meals every day. His cultivation base is still so low that he can’t avoid eating. Besides, he was a half-foodie in his previous life and couldn’t give up on food, nor did he want to.

His taste buds were in for a treat!

As an excellent chef, he added fattening up his second senior sister to his plans. It would be a fun thing to do on boring days.

Speaking of which, when Lu Xun advanced to the first level of the Qi Consumption Technique, both Mao Nanbei and the second senior sister could tell at a glance, but they didn’t seem surprised at all.

Perhaps in their eyes, it was a matter of course for Lu Xun, as a member of the Small Study, to achieve this, no matter how special it was.

It was not surprising that he advanced to the first level of Qi Consumption Technique overnight. Even if he advanced a few more levels, others wouldn’t find it strange.

Compared with these, they valued Lu Xun’s determination during cultivation more, which moved them even more.

After returning to the Small Study, Mao Nanbei lazily basked in the sun at the entrance again.

The full and content little kitten began to sprawl out again.

Lu Xun sat next to her and asked, “When will the master come back?”

Lu Xun was very concerned about this. “I don’t know.” Mao Nanbei said matter-of-factly.

“Isn’t there a rough time?” Lu Xun was speechless.

“Naturally not. Sometimes it may be a few days, sometimes a few months, and sometimes a few years are possible.” Mao Nanbei waved her hand and said.

Lu Xun wondered and continued to ask, “What did the master go down the mountain for?”

As one of the most mysterious characters in “Heavenly Dust,” Lu Xun was full of curiosity about him.

“To play!” Mao Nanbei replied instantly without thinking.

Lu Xun:

Are you sure there isn’t a bit of a grandiose reason?

Or is it because she is childish, so naturally thought of playing when she thought of going down the mountain?

Yes, that must be it.

There is no way that a lofty recluse would go down the mountain to play.

Since the conversation didn’t yield anything interesting, Lu Xun went back to his room.

He didn’t plan to continue cultivating, but instead started to study his panel information.

Now, his experience bar shows 586/500, which is enough for him to level up again.

But he didn’t plan to do it yet.

In the past, he would immediately level up when he could because he thought he was just playing a game. But now he’s truly alive, so he should at least get used to it first.

In other words, he just wanted to research his current body and cultivation strength. It sounded fun.

After researching thoroughly, he would continue to level up.

The panel information was just like that for the moment, he couldn’t figure out anything fancy. What he cared about now was a countdown in the lower right corner.

In his memory, “Heavenly Dust” had been heavily promoted before its launch, and the game forum was opened to the public before the internal test.

He had long forgotten the exact day when the game forum was opened. Why would he go to great lengths to remember the date?

But now, this countdown in the lower right corner was reminding him that the game forum was about to be opened. This countdown was the forum’s opening time.

“This is weird. It’s still three years until the players arrive. Why is the forum opening so early?”

“Could it be possible… that the time flow in the two worlds is not consistent at

He couldn’t research these questions for the time being, he was just waiting quietly, because he was curious if he would be able to see the information on the forum.

Logically speaking, since the panel information and other functions have become crossing-the-world benefits and other than his identity becoming an NPC, it seems that there is no difference between him and the players in other functions.

So, he should be able to see the forum.

If players really do descend in the Heavenly Dust Calendar year 4000, then the forum will be of great help to Lu Xun.

When the countdown ended, he did see the popup message:

“The game forum has been opened.”

He clicked on it, and it was empty inside.

After two or three seconds, he refreshed it. Hoards of messy posts poured in like a tidal wave!

Most of them were meaningless spam posts, so he didn’t bother to look through them thoroughly.

Lu Xun tried to post something, but found out he couldn’t.

“Damn it, what do I do?” Lu Xun was in a hurry.

Players love to flame NPCs. It’s possible that he could be flamed by players in the future.

Doesn’t this mean that he can’t pretend to be a passerby and sarcastically flame them back?

“Damn it, they’ve stripped me of my rights to battle the keyboard warriors!”

Having been angered, Lu Xun directly closed the forum, never looking at it again.

He now felt like he had been muted in a QQ group by a dog administrator — the more he looked, the more upset he got.

At this moment, he turned to consider his future development path. Players definitely had to be utilized. If he didn’t exploit players, what would he be an NPC for?

In the eyes of players, NPCs are just a bunch of tools.

But in Lu Xun’s eyes, aren’t players just tools as well?

Perhaps in establishing himself in this world, the players would be his greatest assistance!

“So, before ‘Heavenly Dust’ officially goes public, should I make a name for myself?”

If he were just an inconspicuous NPC, players wouldn’t follow him.

With this thought, he turned his focus back to the “Reputation Value Task”. It looks like he has to complete this task quickly. It can not only accumulate his reputation but also obtain a considerable amount of experience points, achieving two goals in one stroke.

He is a person who is methodical and has numerous ideas. Most of the sly old foxes in games are this kind of person, they are very cunning.

He soon came up with some general plans. There is supposed to be a grand ceremony specially set up for him tomorrow, a perfect opportunity to test it out.
