Chapter 199: 199, [Public Test Arrival]

Translator: 549690339

Lu Xun is flying south while the mysterious woman heads north.

Although they’re heading towards each other, considering the immense size of the world and its vast population, what are the chances of them actually crossing paths?

If they were to meet, Lu Xun would immediately identify her as a member of the foreign race.

Because to the players, all foreigners are marked red.

A red mark implies a creature that can be killed, granting experience points upon its death!

Indeed, killing foreigners actually yields a handsome amount of experience points.

When Lu Xun initially killed Bai Beiqiu using his senior sister’s Sword Qi, he gained a considerable number of experience points.

Lu Xun has considered several questions regarding the foreign race.

Since a group of foreigners have found a way to arrive on the Heavenly Dust Continent, why didn’t players encounter them at the beginning of the public test in his previous life?

Only when the foreigners arrived en masse and started the primary mission “Foreign Invasion” did the players come into real contact with them!

So it appears that in the early stage of the public test, the foreigners were either hiding in regions that newbies couldn’t access, or they had left the Heavenly Dust Continent.

Of course, it’s also possible that they had all died… but this probability seems rather slim.

However, with the public test taking place a year early, the situation has become somewhat interesting.

I wonder if there’s a chance for the screwball players to encounter the foreigners?

If so, could players activate the mission “Foreign Invasion” ahead of time?

Lu Xun had considered this possibility.

If the mission could be activated early, players could make some preparations, so they won’t be caught off guard like in his previous life.

The sudden change in the pearl from the altar has forced Lu Xun to reconsider some issues related to the foreigners over the past few days.

“After reflecting on it, there seem to be no altars within the Demon Sect’s sphere of influence?” Lu Xun thought to himself.

This is rather strange. As one of the three Demon Sects, their influence is expansive. It’s unreasonable for such a large area to lack any foreign race altars.

He glanced at Ye Sui An, thinking, “In the territory of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, there are several known altars that players had destroyed”.

In his past life, Lu Xun had read numerous forum posts by Demon Sect players complaining that the storyline mission was biased against them!

Destroying an altar grants a generous reward, so naturally, the Demon Sect players are disgruntled that they cannot find any altars in their territory to destroy.

What a preferential treatment they thought!

In the beginning, the Demon Sect players thought that the altars simply hadn’t been discovered yet, that diligent players would eventually uncover some.

However, up until Lu Xun was sent back in time, no altar locations within the Demon Sect territory had ever been disclosed on the forum.

“I can’t figure it out!” Lu Xun found it puzzling.

The situation suggested that the foreigners, while choosing a location to descend, they purposely avoided the Demon Sect!

Or were there altars in the Demon Sect area that had already been destroyed?

No matter the reason, it had a significant impact on Demon Sect players.

“I don’t have to worry about that now since I remember the location of several altars. I could lead Demon Sect players to reap the rewards of others’ altars,” Lu Xun thought.

There shouldn’t be a problem with taking advantage of others, right?

After all, I won’t be latching onto a specific area particularly, but rather distributing the advantages evenly.

Indeed! I’ve always been fair like this!

Along the way, the paper crane and paper boat kept flying. Lu Xun deliberately avoided Three Thousand Mountains.

Finally, he returned to the Demon Sect’s territory.

Ye Sui An understood that it was time for him to leave.

Elder Lu would be returning to the Demon Sect’s back mountain, an area off-limits even to Demon Sect disciples. Thus, Ye Sui An couldn’t just tag along.

Despite his reluctance to leave, hoping to further learn from Elder Lu, he understood basic etiquette and knew when to leave.

Ah, no party lasts forever.

“Elder Lu, it’s time for us to separate,” Ye Sui An, standing in the paper boat, bowed slightly to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun smiled, showing no reluctance or verbose farewells, simply stating, “Alright, until we meet again.”

Ye Sui An, with so much to say but finding no words, could only mutter, “…until we meet again.”

Watching Ye Sui An’s fading figure, Lu Xun’s impression of him had changed considerably after their time together.

It’s not that Ye Sui An’s characteristics attracted Lu Xun, but rather his apparent disinterest in Little Chan.

It seems that, for some reason, his love line differed from his previous life.

Although in his previous life Lin Chan had ignored him, Lu Xun still felt annoyed at the idea of this scumbag eyeing Little Chan.

Seeing that Ye Sui An had no such intentions now, Lu Xun felt much more comfortable with him.

Besides, he’s one of the world protagonists and carries tasks related to various main storylines. It won’t hurt to interact more.

Of course, if the love line comes up again, he’ll definitely do something about it!

“The main thing is, does he admire me?” Lu Xun wondered, “But why?”

This guy didn’t just come up with something in his head, did he…

Setting aside these thoughts for now, Lu Xun turned to Lin Chan and Mao Nanbei, saying, “Four Sister, please escort Little Chan back first.”

“Huh? What about you?” Mao Nanbei paused, clearly unwilling to leave her kitch… Ahem, unwilling to leave her Little Junior Brother.

“I have some personal matters to attend to,” Lu Xun emphasized on ‘personal matters’.

Given his word choice, Mao Nanbei did not insist any further, only reminding, “Alright, but make sure to come back soon!”

“Okay,” Lu Xun nodded.

Mao Nanbei looked at the Spirit Crow on the paper crane, asking, “Little Junior Brother, what about this Spirit Crow?”

“I’ll take it with me,” Lu Xun said.

He had accepted the teacher’s task and still needed this crow to complete it… even though he’s not sure if the task would be successful.

“Alright, Little Chan, let’s go. Your master looks like he’s going to do something suspicious, we better not follow,” Mao Nanbei said while pulling a face at Lu Xun.

Once she left with Little Chan, Lu Xun opened the forum.

On the forum’s homepage, there was a large countdown poster for the public test.

Now, Lu Xun has already made a lot of early preparations, giving him a great advantage over other players.

These advantages will become even more prominent with the mass arrival of players!

“After waiting for so long, the day is finally here,” Lu Xun mused.

At that moment, the countdown timer on the forum homepage displayed the remaining time: one hour.

(ps: Ah! After setting up so much, the public test is finally coming!)
