Chapter 84: 084, (Swallow the Bead) (Fifth Update, Requests for Monthly Tickets!)

Translator: 549690339

Initially, the large raindrops showered the mountains and forests. The dark clouds were very low, making the atmosphere feel odd.

Now… the rain had unexpectedly stopped!

“The power of the Purple Palace’s sword is too terrifying!” MO Guanji thought to himself, “The Purple Name NPC is so powerful!” One sword upward, cleared sky!

The rain and the dark clouds were all dispelled!

It reminded him of the verse written by Li Bai:

“It must be a drunken celestial being, who casually shattered the white clouds!”

MO Guanji quickly replayed his own video to see if he had fully recorded the Sword Qi.

After watching it several times, MO Guanji couldn’t help but sigh, “Purple Palace is so strong, and my recording skills are also impressive!”

The angle he had captured was just perfect!

This Slashing Heaven Sword could likely inspire countless players to level up.

Playing the game to the end can actually reach such a level!

“When will I reach this level?”

MO Guanji imagined that if he were the one who had executed the Sword Qi…

his blood would boil with the thrill that caused him to tremble with excitement!

Don’t forget, he represents immersive players and is an addict who treats gaming as a real-life adventure.

Lu Xun originally planned to find a way to help him overcome his gaming addiction, but what just happened made MO Guanji even more dedicated to this game.

Seeing that Lu Xun hadn’t come out, MO Guanji sat down on a rock and began to edit the video.

He had recorded two videos altogether. The first one was of the leaves falling with the wind, followed by him killing five half-dead zombies. The second one was the sword swing just now.

MO Guanji planned to edit the two videos together and post them on the forum. He would also reveal his identity as the Sword-serving Child of Purple Palace.

He had a feeling that numerous female players would send him private messages!

“I’ll be out of my single status, it shouldn’t be long, hehe!”

In the dense forest, Lu Xun looked up into the sky, the earlier oppressive dark clouds were now gone.

He took off his bamboo hat and gently shook it, shaking off the water droplets that had gathered on it.

The female zombie had fallen to the ground and looked miserable.

Because half of her body had been pierced, and that half was directly turned into midnight ash.

Zombies are inherently robust creatures who can display immense strength just with their bodies even if they don’t use any techniques.

At the same time, they have high hit points and defense, so cutting down a zombie can be a difficult task. It’s like attacking a meat shield.

Yet, the Sword Qi had killed this zombie so easily, as if she was just a piece of paper.

“This is just 1% reserve of the Sword Qi!” Lu Xun exclaimed in his heart.

Just how powerful is Senior Yanli, really?

Even though he was a top player at level 60 in his previous life, he still couldn’t imagine Yan Li’s actual strength.

“Ding! Task: Zombie, has been completed.”

“You have gained 30,000 Experience Points and one Yin Bead.”

After selecting to accept the reward, a pearl floated out from the zombie’s remains and fell into his hand.

“There is no strange smell, and it’s pretty clean. Good job, game designers.” Lu Xun’s mind started to stray again.

Just then, the black cord tied on the Sword Sheath moved, gently scratching Lu Xun’s palm. It felt as if it was trying to please him.

“I’m not angry, don’t worry.” Lu Xun said to the Sword Sheath.

The black cord on the Sword Sheath was still scratching, it seemed as if it had something to say. It was like a little girl standing in front of a boy, continuously twirling her fingers, but couldn’t speak.

“Stop scratching, what do you mean?” Lu Xun smiled, it tickled!

The black cord floated up, then… pointed to the Yin Bead in Lu Xun’s hand.

Lu Xun:

My Sword Sheath is impressive! It has big appetite!

“You want it?” Lu Xun asked.

The black cord made a hooking motion, like it was nodding.

“Aren’t you satisfied after absorbing the Yin Vein?” Lu Xun admired it a bit.

The Sword Sheath rubbed Lu Xun’s hand back with the black cord, as if acting coquettishly.

“The Sword Qi is Near, your wife sure knows how to act coquettish!” Lu Xun muttered in his heart, but something about this phrase felt off.

He took another look at the Yin Bead in his hand and said to the Sword Sheath, “Are you just gluttonous, or does this thing benefit you?”

After saying that, he added, “If you’re just gluttonous, move once. If it’s beneficial, move twice.’

The black cord on the Sword Sheath moved twice.

If it was merely gluttonous, Lu Xun would not give it something as precious as inferior blue equipment to eat. How extravagant it would be to do such a thing!

However, if it’s beneficial to the Sword Sheath, he might consider it.

After all, the inferior blue equipment is precious but is just at a watershed.

Top players usually have a complete set of intermediate blue equipment, plus one or two superior pieces, just like Lu Xun used to be.

Those who play it big have an item of inferior purple equipment, which is considered top-level already.

While inferior blue equipment is slightly awkward, it is considered top-tier only in the early stages of the game.

He checked the attributes of the Yin Bead, and all the attribute boosts were normal. Just like the Sword Sheath having two special abilities, the Yin Bead also had one, which was “Spiritual Confusion,” providing a chance to distract the enemy during combat.

“This technique… might not even be as effective as my face.” Anyone who met Lu Xun for the first time would usually be distracted.

After all, he had a charisma of 10, which was quite powerful!

“Okay, you can have it.” Lu Xun made a decision.

In fact, he knew that the possibility of the mid-grade purple Sword Sheath being upgraded from the consumption of a single inferior blue-grade Yin Bead was quite low.

But since it had expressed this desire, it must gain something from it. Let’s take it slow, you can’t gain weight in one meal, maybe after feeding it a few more times, it might upgrade to a superior purple equipment one day!

After hearing Lu Xun’s words, the black cord on the Sword Sheath rubbed his hand back again. Its obedience was remarkable.

Lu Xun held the Yin Bead in his hand and said to the Sword Sheath, “Well, I’m going to put it in now, okay?”

The black cord nodded.

“Ba-pu!” He shoved the Yin Bead into the Sword Sheath.

A chill seeped out from the sheath and then everything was back to normal. Having absorbed so much Yin Qi and this Yin Bead, it would probably take some time to digest everything. Hopefully, it could surprise Lu Xun later!

Within Qingling City, Xiao Ran was very restless.

She was annoyed for two reasons.

The first was that her new disciple, named Yan Bao, seemed suspicious, she didn’t know if it was just her imagination.

The second was that she noticed the Sword Qi rising to the sky earlier on.

Even from such a distance, it made her heart palpitate. “Whose sword is this? How could it be so formidable!”

“If this Sword Qi was directed at me…”

Thinking about it, even Xiao Ran, the female tyrant, couldn’t help shivering.
