Chapter Twelve: A Super Simple Task



"Huh? Where are we going to collect souls?" Liu Xingyao didn't react for a moment.

"Of course it's Rice Star! Why would we go to your Blue Star to harvest?" Heaven replied matter-of-factly. "After leaving the forest, there are two nearby towns inhabited by locals. You can go and take a look."

“Your personal physical body, the Void Daoist, has the ability to collect souls. I will teleport the Void Daoist directly to the vicinity of those two towns in a moment. There are no powerful figures in those two towns, so you can rest assured.”

Tiandao dragged over the phantom of the Rice Ear Star and zoomed in on the location of the town near Tiandao Village for Liu Xingyao to see.

"OK, got it." Liu Xingyao glanced at the approximate location and nodded to indicate that he had made a note of it.

Liu Xingyao readily agreed to this task, since he was, after all, a game administrator.

There are definitely some things that players shouldn't do.

This is when Liu Xingyao comes in!

Strike when the iron is hot!

Within the Heavenly Dao Space, Liu Xingyao can control the Void Daoist to descend upon Daosui Star at any time, though this requires the assistance of a Heavenly Dao expert.

On Blue Star, Liu Xingyao had to rely on that special gaming pod to control the Void Daoist.

Compared to cultivators, the NPC Xu Daoren is not very powerful. After all, creating an NPC that is too powerful might be discovered by the cultivation civilization.

Of course, this is not powerful; it's only relative.

This NPC, the Void Daoist, is simply someone who cultivates his physical body; he can withstand any storm, thunder, or fire with a single punch.

Simply put, it's a weaker version of Saitama [One-Punch Man].

Little Saitama~

I estimate I'll have to wait until all my hair falls out before I can become strong again.

Since he was going to the town on Inari Star, Liu Xingyao naturally replaced the black hole on the Void Daoist's head with a smiling mask.

The black hole was just something I did to show off to the players.

Now that we're going to a town in another world, are you still pretending to be cool?

Aren't you afraid that once you enter the city, someone will make a phone call and summon a powerful figure from a cultivation civilization to come and beat you to death on the spot?

Being low-key is also very important.

The Heavenly Dao directly placed Liu Xingyao near the forest on the outskirts of two towns. If he wanted to enter the town, he would have to walk a distance.

Safety first.

Liu Xingyao walked out of the forest and looked at the two towns whose shadows could be faintly seen in the distance.

Which way should we go?

Liu Xingyao was a little conflicted.

It would be great if there was someone to guide us.

Liu Xingyao looked at the narrow path in front of him.

It's obvious that this is a forest path worn smooth by frequent footsteps.

This indicates that humans have also used this road.

Since there are traces of humans, then naturally we can find them.

Although Liu Xingyao could directly ask the Heavenly Dao to perform the scan, the Heavenly Dao's actions needed to be done discreetly, so it was best not to bother him if possible.

Who knows if some powerful figure from a cultivation civilization might suddenly come to Inari Star to inspect our work?

Liu Xingyao simply followed the forest path forward and waited until he encountered someone.

The physical body of the Void Daoist has had its language template adjusted by the Heavenly Dao, allowing him to communicate seamlessly with everyone on this Rice Ear Star.

Liu Xingyao's walking speed was quite fast, after all, the physical strength of this body was extremely powerful, and he walked with a gust of wind.

Liu Xingyao was quite lucky; he soon encountered a burly, dark-skinned man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, carrying a bamboo basket, who emerged from the forest.

Upon seeing Liu Xingyao dressed in Taoist robes, the burly, dark-skinned man immediately knelt down on the ground without saying a word.

"This humble one greets the Immortal!"

? ? ?

So decisive!

The first reaction of the mortals on this Rice Ear Star to see someone dressed in a Taoist robe is to kneel down; this is a habit ingrained in their very bones.

This demonstrates the deterrent power of cultivators on this planet.

Moreover, Liu Xingyao was only wearing a Taoist robe and was not a cultivator.

What Liu Xingyao didn't know was that throughout the entire Rice Ear Star, anyone without cultivation who dared to wear a Daoist robe would only suffer one fate: being utterly and tragically dealt with by cultivators.

Therefore, no one dares to impersonate a cultivator.

"I ask, you answer."

Although Liu Xingyao was wearing a smiling mask, he naturally exuded a powerful aura, and the burly, dark-skinned man was already trembling with fear, only daring to nod and agree.

"Which of these two towns is better at forging?"

"Yanji City on the left is more skilled in forging; there are quite a few forging families there."

The burly, dark-skinned man secretly sized up the cultivator in front of him. Cultivators were known for their unpredictable and capricious nature, and if he didn't answer well, his life would certainly be in danger.

Unfortunately, this cultivator was wearing a mask, so I couldn't use my ancestral face-reading technique!

Facial reading is simply reading facial expressions.

The survival strategies of ordinary people.

"Um."

Liu Xingyao responded with a nasal "hmm" and quickly disappeared from the sight of the burly, dark-skinned man.

Even after seeing that Liu Xingyao had left, the burly man still didn't dare to get up, and remained kneeling for a while before standing up.

This shows the prestige that cultivators hold in the hearts of ordinary people.

What's even stranger is that an ordinary person would be very unhappy if they encountered such bad luck on a normal day.

But the burly, dark-skinned man knelt on the dirt ground for a long time before getting up, a smile of excitement on his face.

It's like seeing a cultivator is a very happy thing.

Unfortunately, Liu Xingyao did not see the expression on the burly man's face.

Otherwise, he would have understood just how terrifying and colossal the so-called cultivation civilization truly was.

Liu Xingyao quickly arrived at the entrance of Yanji City on the left. He controlled the Void Daoist Light, and its two legs moved rapidly, easily producing the effect of a cultivator's escape light.

It's clear that the nickname "Little Saitama" isn't just empty boasting.

Strictly speaking, Yanji City is just a small town, only bearing the name of a city. However, the town is quite large, roughly the size of a second-tier city on Earth.

However, the city gate of Yanji City was built to be quite tall and luxurious. On the city wall, a golden rooster statue was built with an unknown material. The rooster was crowing with its head held high towards the sky.

What a magnificent Yanji City!

Although he couldn't see inside the city, just looking at the city gate statue, Liu Xingyao felt that this small town had a pretty good vibe.

"OK, your task is complete."

As Liu Xingyao was examining the city gate, the words of the Heavenly Dao suddenly echoed in his mind.

? ? ?

"When did I find the way to collect the blacksmith's soul?"

Liu Xingyao was stunned. "I haven't even gone through the city gate yet!"

"Just now! The soul of a decent blacksmith is residing in that rooster statue. Do you expect me to rush into the city and kill a blacksmith?"

Well-reasoned and supported by evidence!

Liu Xingyao's original plan was to enter the city and kill a blacksmith, and the heavens predicted it.

After all that, this task turned out to be so simple?
