Chapter 77: The Seventy-Seventh Day of Gathering at Wuzhuang Temple to Make Games
The newcomers were a brother and sister. The brother wore a green robe and a jade crown, carrying a long zither on his back. The sister had a human head and a snake's body, and wore a bracelet made of colorful stones on her wrist, which was round and lovely.
The two who arrived were none other than Nuwa and Fuxi, whom they had parted ways with at Buzhou Mountain. Yuan Yi had gathered these friends, whom he had met and become acquainted with in the prehistoric world, under the guise of discussing games.
Nuwa had a very good impression of Yuan Yi: "I have met several senior brothers, Zhen Yuanzi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun. It has been a long time since I last saw you, young friend Yuan Yi." As she spoke, her long snake tail had already wrapped around Yuan Yi's ankle.
Yuan Yi naturally couldn't refuse, so he immediately broke free from Tongtian's grasp and quickly went to meet him.
"I also miss Sister Nuwa very much... Fellow Daoist." Yuan Yi tried his best to restrain his emotions, but the intimacy he unconsciously revealed in his words made Tongtian look at him sideways several times.
He arrived first, whether it was getting to know Fellow Daoist Yuanyi first or visiting Wuzhuang Temple first. He had already made preparations and arrived before Fellow Daoist Yuanyi extended the invitation to Kunlun. How could Nuwa and the others, who only set off after receiving the invitation, compare to him?
Under the intense, resentful gaze of Nuwa, Yuan Yi fully enjoyed the pleasure of being close to her, while also overhearing Nuwa's recent troubles: "Those little demons are really annoying."
Nuwa frowned as she spoke. She was usually quite gentle and kind, and would only let go of minor offenses unintentionally committed by demons.
"Originally, I thought that the little demons on that mountain were unaware of the situation and had found out that my brother and sister had come to pay their respects. So I had my brother set up a formation to prevent those little demons from getting close."
Hearing this familiar-sounding maneuver, everyone present turned their attention to it.
Nuwa placed her elbow on Yuanyi's shoulder, her head resting against his neck: "Who knew that my brother's formation would be broken the next day? Even if it was just a casual act, it was definitely not something those little demons could have messed up."
“There must be someone behind this, so my brother tried to divine the secrets of heaven, and unexpectedly it turned out to be an acquaintance from the Zixiao Palace.”
Now everyone had a guess about this familiar person; it was almost certainly Kunpeng, who had caused a lot of trouble outside the game.
As expected, Fuxi picked up the conversation: "It was Kunpeng, who was recently banned by Fellow Daoist Yuanyi for fraud. He somehow found out about my brother and sister's cave dwelling and sent someone here specifically."
"They even chose to do it when I was online in the game. Anyway, I didn't even have time to participate in this event, and I haven't even redeemed that Phoenix Cloud skin yet." As she said this, Nuwa slumped against Yuan Yi as if all her strength had left, her tail tip circling around him.
“They keep saying at the entrance of my brother’s and my cave that we are powerful beings of the demon race. Now that the demon race is facing a critical matter, they hope we can come out of the mountains to lend them a hand.” As she said this, Nuwa’s tail drew a deep line on the ground. “I’m not stupid. The demon race and the witch race are obviously full of trouble. My brother and I are doing good deeds in the mountains. Why should we get involved in their conflict for some vague title?”
The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are now evenly matched. Anyone with eyes can see that the Demon Clan has great ambitions, and the Witch Clan is by no means someone who will sit idly by and wait for death. The current conflict between the two clans is enough to show the signs, and there may be another great calamity between the dragon and the phoenix in the future.
How many Great Luo Golden Immortals perished in the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity? Back then, which of the elders of the three clans wasn't a Great Luo Golden Immortal? How many of them are still alive now?
Nuwa's fingers slid across Yuan Yi's neck, circling around him as nimbly as a snake: "If you ask me, the name of this event you chose is bad. If it really becomes the second Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, there will inevitably be people coming to cause you trouble in the future. In the future, you should get involved in less troublesome things when making games."
This is the third person to advise him to be careful when playing games. They all seem concerned that he might get into trouble because of his ignorance, leaving Yuan Yi both amused and exasperated.
He could only reply, "I know what I'm doing. I'm just going with the flow. All the plans for this game have to be submitted to the Heavenly Dao for review. How could I dare to do anything underhanded?"
Yuan Yi inadvertently revealed a big secret, which shocked everyone present. Fu Xi didn't even straighten the zither behind him, which was crooked.
Nuwa quickly covered Yuanyi's mouth, then looked up at the sky and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no clouds.
My friend Yuanyi is just too naive and impulsive.
"You can tell me these things in private later. These kinds of things are bound to be leaked. If someone takes notice of them, you'll just be inviting trouble for no reason."
Her patient and persuasive manner made it seem as if she were treating Yuan Yi as a little sister who knew nothing about the world.
This made Yuan Yi reflect: Did he really seem to know nothing and easily get into trouble?
She thought her ruthless nature as a game planner had been fully exposed, but the people around her still treated her like a child.
"Why should I tell you in private that I'm Yuan Yi's first friend?" Tongtian pressed down on Yuan Yi's other shoulder as if in a wrestling match. "If you're going to say something, you should tell me."
Yes, Yuan Yi is now certain; she is definitely mature. After all, she is much more mature than Tong Tian. It must be because she has always been around her brother, and everyone addresses him as an equal, so she unconsciously treats herself as a younger sister.
Yuan Yi, finding an excuse for everyone's attitude, took the opportunity to separate Tongtian and Nuwa, and then, as if holding water, hooked his tail, held their hands, and smiled at those on either side.
"I know, but we're all family here, so I feel at ease telling you."
This is not a case of knowing nothing at all. Apart from Zhen Yuanzi, who knew his own sister perfectly well, everyone else present couldn't help but shake their heads.
Yuan Yi wiped away a non-existent cold sweat and quickly steered the conversation back on track: "So how did Sister Nuwa handle it afterward?"
"Of course, it was to teach him a lesson with my brother." As she said this, Nuwa flicked the ground with her tail, leaving a deep trench in the earth. "Those little demons were just tricked by Kunpeng, so we sent them to Kunpeng and buried them in the ground for the little demons to bury."
“If it weren’t for my brother saying that Kunpeng carries great power on his back, I would definitely let him see how powerful we are.”
Fuxi, who was standing to the side, had already discerned the great power behind Kunpeng from the clues in Yuanyi's words: "Kunpeng's fortune has run out. He can only live peacefully now by relying on the power of others. However, if he continues to cause trouble like this, even with the great power of heaven and earth, no one can protect him."
Fuxi was always skilled in divination, so his words are naturally credible.
Yuan Yi immediately used the earth's veins to record the memory of Kunpeng being buried alive by the little demon he brought, intending to make it into a promotional video to teach other unscrupulous people a lesson.
"Excellent." Even Lao Tzu couldn't help but praise him, which shows just how annoying Kunpeng's recent actions have been.
Unfortunately, Kunpeng has already been sealed away, and he has accumulated enough bad luck. If Yuan Yi were to interfere again, he might not be able to control his strength and send Kunpeng away, thus losing a key figure in the future calamity.
However, we cannot completely ignore the behavior of those who, unable to compete online, provoke players offline.
Whoever protects someone, whoever benefits from the situation, must pay the corresponding price. Yuan Yi immediately edited another announcement, but before the official announcement, she accidentally sent it to Di Jun's email address.
Not only did it list all the things Kunpeng had done in recent days, but it also listed the punishment plan for the so-called demon race in the game, as well as a yellow card in the faction war that has the effect of reducing the demon race's score by 5%.
The war between the Lich and the Witch is currently raging in the game, and all the races of the prehistoric world are focused on it. If this yellow card is added, the Demon race, which was originally evenly matched, will fall far behind, and its reputation will drop significantly after losing to the Witch race.
Di Jun's interests would be harmed if he used the demon race's fortune to improve his cultivation. Di Jun frowned and arranged for Bai Ze to go offline to handle the matter.
Yuan Yi then equated each of the anomalies he had collected with Kunpeng, and then confidently reported the good news to the Kunpeng victims around him: Kunpeng would not have time to cause any more trouble during this period.
Now everyone smiled, it seemed they were all happy to hear that Kunpeng was having a bad time.
Once the messy situation caused by Kunpeng was resolved, Yuan Yi explained the purpose of his invitation to his friends: "You are all strong players both in and out of the game, and you are all veteran players. I would like to invite you to explore the other gameplay features of this event and participate in subsequent game improvements."
As Yuan Yi spoke, he handed each person a small, leaf-shaped gem, instructing them, "This is a beta test account for the new game. Only a few of you in the entire Primordial World have one, so remember to keep it safe." Inside, there were life-protecting and teleportation arrays, and a wisp of Yuan Yi's divine sense remained, which would surely be useful in a critical moment.
After all, the conflict between the liches had been brought forward so much because of her intervention. Although she intended to control the scope of the conflict, Yuan Yi would be extremely upset if she accidentally dragged her friend into it.
Why not strike first and invite all my trusted friends to Wuzhuang Temple to escape the chaos of the prehistoric world? I'll also distribute some of my carefully crafted portable formations to protect my friends in times of crisis.
However, it was impossible to say these things directly, so Yuan Yi prepared an excuse: "Since we parted at Zixiao Palace, I have been busy with the new game and have not been able to get together with you all. Now that I finally have some free time, I would like to invite you all to Wuzhuang Temple for a proper get-together."
Tongtian immediately became excited: "What kind of match? Are we going to have a massive offline brawl right here!" He had been playing in the game for a long time and hadn't wielded his sword in real life. His Qingping Sword was also eager to be used.
"How could that be?" Yuan Yi quickly stopped Tongtian from speaking: "Of course it's just a game!"
-----------------------
Tongtian: Actually, I've wanted to come for a long time, but my two older brothers keep an eye on me and won't let me run around.
Laozi, Yuanshi: While being annoyed by the commotion of the little demons at the foot of the mountain, he received an invitation from Wuzhuang Temple (Zhen Yuanzi: Send some people over, my sister has caused too much trouble, I'm afraid Hongyun and I can't protect her).
Nuwa: So noisy and annoying! I wanted to swat those little demons at the door away with my tail, but my brother told me to wait. Okay, I gave that Kunpeng a good lesson, but unfortunately I couldn't kill him. Let's go somewhere else, change our mood. My little friend Yuanyi, here I come!
Suddenly it occurred to me that the Kunpeng buried in the ground would be perfect for beggar's chicken! [panda head emoji]
