Chapter 76: 076, [I, Ji Li, will never give up]

Upon hearing these words, Lu Xun blinked in surprise.

“What the hell is a Sword Servant Girl…” He thought to himself.

I’m not the Guanyin Bodhisattva; I don’t need a pair of boy and girl servants following me.

And are you sure you want to attend to my sword? I think you aim to attend to my bed!

Lu Xun is no Liuxia Hui, he knew Ji Li fell for him at first sight… Well, actually, she fell for his looks.

But this little girl is still underage; she’s only sixteen. Lu Xun currently has no intentions towards her.

In his past life, he was a wild man. Didn’t he say so when he first transmigrated? That very night, two of his ex-girlfriends wanted to reconcile with him… Wait, was he cursed to death?

In any case, even he, who rows a boat without an oar, has his principles. Absolutely no underage girls!

I’ll raise her like a younger sister for now!

As for taking her in as a Sword Servant Girl… It’s unnecessary.

Strictly speaking, Lu Xun always saw this bratty younger sister as a friend. The reason he insisted on being called Young Elder was merely because he found it fun to tease her.

Ultimately, she was the first person he met in this world, and he still remembers before they joined the sect, this silly girl, Ji Li, thought Lu Xun was talentless and that he’d be bullied. She solemnly swore, “I will train harder!” The underlying message being: I will protect you with all my strength.

So, Lu Xun would also protect her.

He rose from his stone bench and walked towards Ji Li.

He was tall and Ji Li, apart from a certain part of her body, was petite. Thus, he towered over her.

“There’s no need to be a Sword Servant Girl…” Lu Xun said with a smile.

Ji Li kept her head lowered, feeling a bit disappointed.

But soon, she felt a gentle pat on her head.

She lifted her head and saw Lu Xun smiling at her, “When we are alone, you don’t have to call me Young Elder.”

He was sure Ji Li would appreciate his brotherly strength, just like his sister Lu Yu, who verbally objected to having her head patted but never physically resisted.

What Lu Xun didn’t know was Ji Li’s heart was like a popcorn machine, which popped steadily whenever she was with him. And with a single sentence and pat, her world detonated with a loud “Bang!”

Today’s Qingling City was quite lively. Birds chattered, vendors yelled, and even the tipsy patrons in the tavern spoke loudly.

In this cacophony, Ji Li could only hear her thunderous heartbeat.

“[Favorability +1…+1…+1…]”

Looking at Ji Li whose cheeks were slightly red, Lu Xun knew exactly what was going on due to his experience.

It seems she didn’t feel the brotherly love, but rather felt her heart flutter… But it wasn’t difficult to handle.

“Ji Li, let me see if your Cultivation Base has improved recently!” Lu Xun suddenly exclaimed.

“Huh?!” Ji Li was caught off guard, wondering why they were suddenly sparrmg.

Currently, Ji Li was no match for Lu Xun, and he didn’t restrain his strength, knocking her to the ground three times, showcasing his brusqueness.

“Eat dirt!” Lu Xun laughed heartily within.

Even so, whenever she was thrown onto the ground, her ever-bouncing certain part was hard to ignore.

Despite this, Ji Li’s Favorability towards him didn’t drop a single point.

“Forget it! I’ll find an opportunity to teach you a lesson in the future!” Lu Xun resolved in his heart.

He didn’t know, Ji Li has been training martial arts since she was young, and often got beaten by her father. She only understood her father’s intention as she grew up – It’s better to be disciplined by your father than by others!

She believes Lu Xun is simply motivating her training.

This brutal sparring lesson hasn’t crushed anything except Ji Li’s aspirations to sneak into Lu Xun’s bed.

“Train hard, Ji Li!” She told herself.

If worse comes to worst, I’ll just overpower him when my Cultivation Base skyrockets!

Even though he seems to cultivate much faster than me… Whatever! Never give up.

Once Lu Xun returned to his room, he had no idea about the grand ambition Ji Li was cultivating. He just wanted to thoroughly study the new features he recently unlocked.

He opened the Master-Disciple System, and therein lay his Sword-serving Child, MO Guanji.

“Oh, he gained Experience Points?” In the Master-Disciple System, Lu Xun could see MO Guanji’s Character Level as well as his experience bar.

The tasks Lu Xun had previously assigned to MO Guanji carried no Experience Points, so MO Guanji likely completed some richly rewarding tasks outside.

He truly lived up to his title as Emperor Eu, the human Lucky Koi; his task completion efficiency was high.

Every time MO Guanji levels up, Lu Xun should get a small batch of Experience Points as a reward from the Master-Disciple System.

This mechanism, which encourages veteran players to guide new players, is supposed to be unlocked only after reaching Level 30.

But somehow, perhaps due to being an NPC, it’s activated early.

Of course, he might have stumbled upon a bug.

“Wait! Does this mean I can assign Experience Point quotas to MO Guanji in the daily tasks, level him up, and benefit from the Master-Disciple System?” Wow! Isn’t this the legendary Experience Points laundering?!

Lu Xun planned to experiment with MO Guanji to see if this strategy would work.

“It’s a pity that I can only recruit ten players. And once a disciple reaches Level

10, there’s no more Experience Points for the Master. Even if I can launder Experience Points, it will only be useful in the early game.”

Although this made him slightly regretful, he would make do with whatever he could get.

“In light of this, I should get out more and see if there are any potential recruits,” Lu Xun thought.

After all, his daily Experience Point quota was also limited. Even if he wanted to nurture players, he couldn’t do it in large quantities and needed to select those with potential!

The well-known professional players from his past life would be the ideal candidates.

This was why he came to Qingling City in the first place – to wait and see!

The professional players were skilled and levelled up fast. Largely supported by guilds or professional clubs, even if Lu Xun’s Experience Point quota was insufficient, they would still complete quests like mad!

Counting the days, the major guilds and clubs will likely start to sponsor the travel expenses for their lead players to explore the big cities in the next couple of days.

Top-tier guilds and clubs had a fair number of beta slots, and a few beta players pooling their resources could quickly support a couple of people to visit big cities. This was a necessary sacrifice for them, as the future development of the guilds and clubs took precedence.

“So, I can start exploring the city a bit more starting tomorrow,” Lu Xun resolved.

The next day, he left home early in the morning.

“Off to recruit disciples!”

To his surprise, he didn’t encounter any great players, but he did run into a NPC with a promising future.
