Chapter 39 Another glimpse of a peerless beauty
"Hahaha."
Showing off my unexpected encounter, I couldn't help but burst into laughter as I watched the NPC dialogue in the current channel.
As Duan Yu uttered his final question, the familiar ink-wash screen reappeared, and the game level entered the ending resolution screen.
"A peerless hero burdened with a blood feud, clearly a Liao person, was raised by a Song person. He should have lost his life in the Liao-Song conflict, but thanks to the meddling of an outsider, he lived a peaceful life in seclusion."
"A young novice monk, born with sins, unknowingly endured the greatest tribulation of his life. He finally fulfilled his wish to remain a carefree little monk in Shaolin Temple forever."
"A prince born into a noble family, with a dashing and debonair appearance, but with an even more philandering father. From then on, all the people I love are my sisters. Perhaps, like my royal uncle, converting to Buddhism is the best ending."
"A new immortal healer has appeared in the martial arts world. It is said that she can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Some people fear her, some admire her, and some want to kill her. But in the end, everyone succumbs to her immortal power. She is the greatest variable in the martial arts world."
System: "Congratulations to the player for clearing the game level 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' and achieving the ending 'The Great Dao is Fifty, Heaven Evolution is Forty-Nine, and Man Escapes One'."
System: "The completion reward will be sent to your mailbox one minute after you log out of the game. Please check your mailbox in time."
The game character automatically exited the game level, and upon opening the mailbox, discovered three system emails.
The first message, as usual, is a reward for completing the level.
"Congratulations to the player who successfully completed the 'Tian Long Ba Bu' game level and earned 300 Hero Coins. This reward is for players who broke through the original destiny of their character, changed the protagonist's life, and achieved a new ending."
"Hero Coins can be used in the Hero Shop to hire NPCs whose affinity with you meets the requirements in game levels as your heroes. Please go to the Hero Shop to check it out."
"So there's a chance to double the reward. Should we continue trying to find a way to get the new ending?"
Showing off the serendipitous encounter, I only thought about it for a second before giving up on the idea.
The reason is that she doesn't know what the original plot and ending should have been, and she doesn't know how to change it.
As for finding a guide, forget about it.
Everyone's progress is about the same. The time spent waiting for the walkthrough to come out is enough for her to do a second playthrough. There's no need to waste her energy on it.
Bringing my wandering thoughts back, I showed off my unexpected encounter and opened the other two emails.
One of the letters was sent by Lu Xiaofeng.
Inside were a bunch of words of condolence, along with a large pile of food that was offered as a sacrifice.
"..."
She paused for a second after showing off her amazing encounter, but ultimately forgave him because of the huge amount of delicious food.
"That makes sense. In Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, I am indeed a dead man. It's reasonable to send food over as a sacrifice."
They happily accepted the special food from the game level they had wanted, showing off their serendipitous encounter and saying they could have more of these offerings.
The other email was somewhat unexpected, revealing a surprising adventure.
The sender of the letter turned out to be the young monk Xuzhu.
Enclosed with the letter was a waist pendant.
"Unparalleled Encounter: A renowned monk, mindful of his promise to a friend, honed his skills over decades. On the day his skills reached their peak, he created this masterpiece. Using it doubles the probability of triggering an Unparalleled Encounter. Cooldown: 7 days."
"!!!"
Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she hurriedly returned home. She used up her five wish-granting opportunities but failed to obtain the "Peerless Opportunity." Decisively, she used a "Wish Fulfillment Talisman" and chose "Peerless Opportunity." She then went to the trading post and bought a "Fateful Encounter *Tonight's End*" charm to use.
Finally, equip the "Peerless Adventure" item and click to use it.
Take a deep breath, show off your adventure, and click to summon your pet.
The next moment, the much-anticipated ink painting appeared on the screen, with the four large characters "万灵当歌" (Wan Ling Dang Ge) appearing in the very center of the painting!
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
Showing off his amazing encounter, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Little monk, you are my eternal god!"
After enjoying the adventure interface for a while and showing off a screenshot of the adventure, I reluctantly closed it.
When I opened the world chat again, I saw a bunch of question marks.
"Haha, finally it's my turn to be the one with the question mark!"
Feeling great about his amazing adventure, he posted the "Wish Fulfillment Talisman" and his incredible encounter on the world channel.
"I'm sharing the [Peerless Encounter] and [Wish Fulfillment Talisman] with you all. You're welcome. With these, you too can create a peerless character (laughs).
"Who thanked you?"
"Who thanked you?"
"Huh? How can there be such a prop? I don't care, I want one too (reaches out)."
"Huh? How can there be such a prop? I don't care, I want one too (reaches out)."
I happily enjoyed the world chat for a while, until the copycats were drawn to the next lucky player and showed off their amazing adventure. Only then did I reluctantly close the chat box and prepare to go and follow up on my adventure.
"Wait," Kunyu Xuanjing suddenly called out to her, "I think you might need this."
Showing off her strange encounter, she took the box with a puzzled look and found that it contained two boxes of Strange Encounter Perfume Balm.
One box, the moon shines bright; another box, what night is this?
"Where did you get all this?" Showing off the serendipitous encounter was a pleasant surprise.
Seeing that she liked it, Kunyu Xuanjing gave her a bright smile.
"I was thinking that you always talked about having a miraculous encounter, so I specially learned perfumery from the other butlers. This is a new perfume I made."
She smiled somewhat embarrassedly as she spoke, "To make these two perfume balms, I used up almost all the fragrances stored in your warehouse."
"But don't worry, I've figured out the recipe for these two spices, and I guarantee I can make 'Moonrise' within ten tries. It's just that 'What Night Is Tonight' is a bit more difficult; it takes twenty tries to get it once, and there's no guarantee it's tradable."
Showing off their extraordinary encounter made them feel that today was their lucky day.
She was overwhelmed by all the surprises.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Kunyu Xuanjing, revealing the depth of her feelings from their extraordinary encounter.
"I misspoke. The little monk is not my god; you are."
Showing off her amazing encounter, she happily hugged the Kunyu Xuanjing and spun around.
"That's amazing, Kunyu Xuanjing, you are my true god!"
I'm so lucky to have met you!
After bidding farewell to the blushing Kunyu Xuanjing, and in high spirits after completing the follow-up quest of "Singing for All Spirits," she successfully obtained the copper coin she had been craving for a long time. She then tested the copper coin's skill effect by severing her own meridians before logging off to rest, completely satisfied.
This time, I didn't stay up all night to show off my amazing adventures; I got up early and logged into the game.
"Game under maintenance."
"It's Wednesday today, what's there to maintain?"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter gave him a bad feeling.
After waiting anxiously for two hours, at 10 o'clock, I was finally able to log in to the game.
"The bug where players used the resurrection skill on NPCs has been fixed. The resurrection skill will no longer work on NPCs in game levels."
"Just as I thought." Looking at the blatant targeting in the update log, Xiuchu was only glad that he hadn't flaunted his skill of making the Encounter Balm from Kunyu Xuanjing.
"We'll have to keep a low profile and make a fortune from now on."
Showing off her extraordinary encounter caused her immense heartache.
"But returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes in the dark. If I can't show off on the world channel and hear other players break down, wouldn't I lose more than half of my fun?"
With a heavy heart, I showed off my extraordinary encounter, switched back to the Ice Heart Technique, changed into a cheerful image, and re-entered a new game level.
This time, the landing location was surprisingly a desert.
Unlike before, this time when I opened the map, I found several exclamation marks representing quests.
"Has the game designer finally turned over a new leaf? But why are all these tasks light purple? Does this mean there are daily quests in the game levels?"
Too lazy to think too much, I showed off my adventure, summoned the copper coins I hadn't had enough of, selected the exclamation mark closest to me, and flew over.
A lost merchant cried out, "Help! Someone, please help me!"
"Do you need any help?"
*********
Three days have passed since the last sandstorm and the loss of the caravan. The merchant's body is almost completely dehydrated.
He collapsed in the desert, knowing he was nearing death. But he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
"Maybe someone will pass by and save me at any moment?"
The merchant thought to himself, suppressing a groan: "Help, someone help me!"
"Do you need any help?"
A clear and melodious female voice rang in his ears. The merchant looked up and saw a green gourd spirit with a beard and wearing a lotus leaf hat.
He shuddered in fright, but the next second, the will to survive pulled him back.
Even if it's a monster, as long as it can save me!
"Water, I need water, please give me water."
A stream of cool water flowed into his mouth, and the merchant sucked it in greedily. After his stomach was so full that he could no longer drink any more water, the merchant finally regained some strength and vitality.
He stared at the gourd spirit with long legs before him, and the fear that had been suppressed by his will to survive resurfaced.
"Sir, thank you for saving me. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"What should I do?" The gourd spirit seemed troubled.
A moment later, a clear female voice rang out again: "You don't need to do anything, just give me the mission reward."
"Mission reward?" The merchant didn't quite understand, but he vaguely felt that the gourd spirit seemed to be asking him for payment for saving his life.
He touched his body and found that he still had the silver notes left over from the previous purchases in his pocket.
Do monsters need gold and silver?
"This is all I have." Having nothing else, the merchant had no choice but to offer up the gold and silver.
"Okay, I'll take it."
As the gourd spirit accepted the silver and turned to leave, a bold idea suddenly flashed into the merchant's mind.
"My lord, please wait!"
"What's wrong?"
The businessman gritted his teeth, trying to suppress his fear; there was nothing more terrifying than death.
If he didn't seize the opportunity to ask this man for help, he wouldn't survive more than a few days alone in the desert.
"Sir, could you help me find the lost caravan? I am willing to give you a quarter of my wealth."
Fearing that his extraordinary adventures might seem insufficient, the merchant continued to explain, "It's not that I'm reluctant to part with my possessions, it's just that making a living in the desert is too difficult. I need to keep enough capital to support the caravan, and I only have a quarter of it left."
"OK!"
She never made things difficult for the merchant when she showed off her extraordinary encounters; after all, the rewards for missions always varied, and she was used to it.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
