Chapter 26: Unexpectedly Friendly NPC
Not long after, Wang Ergou and Han Yi also returned to their former birthplace, the sect’s base “Lieshi Mountain” marked on the map, but on the current game map, it has been renamed “Taiyin Mountain”.
The entire mountain has not changed much, except that there are several buildings with unique styles on the once bare cracked rock platform halfway up the mountain.
A wooden plank road winds up around the mountain. The closest and most conspicuous one is a simple but magnificent hall. The ridge beast on the roof is a glazed statue of a goddess with a human body and a dragon tail, with a high bun. The cyan glazed tiles sparkle in the sun. The thick beams and columns are painted vermilion, and the double-layered lintels are carved with cyan and white flowers and plants. The cyan fence looks like jade, neither gold nor stone, warm and transparent.
When they got closer, they discovered that there were three unfamiliar large characters written on the plaque of the hall: "Taiyin Hall".
Well...it's the name translated by the system's built-in translation function.
The hall was bustling with people. Players were crowded here, gathered in groups of three or four, and lined up in a winding queue.
As soon as the two entered the hall, Zhao Qing, who had looked around countless times, spotted them and quickly waved and shouted, "Here, here, I've already let several waves of people in line behind me! Come on!"
Wang Ergou and Han Yi were still a little confused about the situation, but they still walked over obediently.
Wang Ergou asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
Zhao Qing had already inquired about a lot of information, so she introduced: "Line up to choose a master! Just think carefully about what you want to major in in the future. This game is very unclear, and many professions are introduced vaguely. For example, the one that cultivates Hundred Medicine is quite clear, and it is obviously a nurse, but there are also some things like cultivating the Five Elements, cultivating talismans, cultivating array techniques, etc. It's completely unclear what the use is!"
Han Yi frowned: "Can't I change it after I choose it?"
"Not really. I heard it can be changed in the future, but the experience points and levels won't transfer after the change, and I don't know exactly when it will be changed."
Zhao Qing spread out his hands as he spoke.
Wang Ergou asked excitedly: "Are there any sword cultivators? The kind that play with big swords!"
Zhao Qing nodded: "Yes, this game is called 'Hundred Weapons', which means you can practice a hundred weapons. In it, you can use more than just swords, you can use any kind of weapons, including knives, guns, sticks, and eighteen kinds of weapons! I was planning to choose this one!"
Wang Ergou became even more excited: "Is it so awesome?"
As they were talking, the players in line behind them urged, "Hey, hey, it's almost your turn!"
The three of them immediately became serious and lined up quietly.
The NPC in charge of registering him with the sect was a young woman who didn't look particularly good, but had an inexplicably friendly and amiable temperament - so friendly and amiable that she seemed familiar, quite like the Aunt Wang who had tricked him into joining the organization.
She was seen sitting behind a table with a bunch of jade tablets on it. The name marked above her head was "Lu Ying". Her title was the elder of Taiyin Sect, and her age should not be as young as she looked.
The first person to step forward was Zhao Qing. After taking two steps forward, Elder Lu Ying asked gently, "Master, what do you plan to cultivate?"
Zhao Qing was well prepared and answered decisively: "Hundred Soldiers! I want to repair the Hundred Soldiers!"
"Okay, [Zhu Tu Meng Jin] monk, cultivation level [Qi Refining Great Perfection], major in [Hundred Weapons]..."
As Elder Lu Ying spoke, he picked up a jade token from the table and tapped it in his hand. A golden light flashed and many words appeared on the jade token.
She handed the jade token to Zhao Qing and said, "Brother Zhu Tu Meng Jin, this is your Taiyin Sect disciple token. The disciple token is mainly used to enter and exit the library and the sect's public kitchen, as well as to receive quarterly benefits. Of course, you also need it to register for course selection, so please keep it carefully. If you lose it, you will need to spend a lot of sect contribution points to reissue it..."
…
The registration process was quick, and the three of them all chose Hundred Soldiers at the same time. After all, they were all cultivating immortals, so who wouldn't want to play "Sword Coming"?
As soon as the disciple token is obtained, a new interface [Hundred Soldiers] will appear on the game panel simultaneously.
The course schedule is marked in it - players are now numb to having to attend classes to play a game. Before, not many players were willing to listen to Baili Shuang's lectures every night, but with the contribution value of the sect in the future, I am afraid that there will be a lot more players who come but not with their heart.
The most important thing is, who is a good person who plays games and attends classes? ?
Didn’t I work so hard for more than ten years just to avoid going to class?!
This kind of concept has led to a lot of criticism on the game forum about the setting of "taking classes in the game", but there are also online players who speak well of "Ten Continents": "The classes you take in real life are incomprehensible scriptures and boring theories, but what you learn in the game is to cultivate immortality! How can they be the same!? If not, just delete your account and quit the game, and there will be a few vacancies for us to take the classes!"
Of course, the last sentence is what they really think.
Because the current quota for "Ten Continents" is fixed at 55 accounts, if someone deletes their account and quits the game, another person who has signed up for the internal test will be randomly selected to fill the vacancy at any time - this was the official news announced by the game after a player who once boasted that "Ten Continents" was so hardcore that even dogs wouldn't play it deleted his account live.
Afterwards, the stubborn player regretted not mentioning anything, while the lucky player who was drawn posted more than a dozen posts on the forum to thank the stubborn player who deleted his account and his ancestors.
Although many people were paying attention to "Records of the Ten Continents", Fang Xianyu did not pay too much attention to Blue Star, because she discovered an unexpected secret through Huang Gong's affairs.
This brings us to the story of why Mr. Huang, who had been so close to Shixia Village, suddenly turned against them and drove away all the villagers.
Huang Gong is a very talented weasel monster. After he inexplicably opened his spiritual intelligence, when other weasels could not control their instincts to steal chickens and dogs, Huang Gong could not only restrain his instincts, but also help the villagers catch mice, guard the village gate, and even drive away the mountain monsters that stole food and caused damage many times. Therefore, the villagers of Shixia Village spontaneously worshipped him and called him "Huang Gong".
Gradually, Huang Gong also tasted the sweetness of offerings. Not only did his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, but villagers also specially offered him chickens, ducks and various kinds of cakes. This made him not hesitate to use his magical power to secretly use spiritual energy to nourish the farmland in the middle of the night to repay the villagers.
As time went by, even though Mr. Huang hadn't yet refined his horizontal bone, he had already developed a natural bond with the area around Lieshi Mountain. He had a premonition that if this continued, he might even be able to become the god of Lieshi Mountain!
However, there are always surprises.
In this world, most monsters practice natural cultivation by worshiping the moon and taking the Yin path, and Huang Gong is no exception.
So, just when Mr. Huang was refining his horizontal bone and preparing to condense the elixir, the Lieshi Mountain, which was nourished with abundant Yin and spiritual energy due to Mr. Huang's practice, actually attracted several Yin corpses!
