Chapter 201: 201, [Top Target: Purple Palace!] (Extra Update)
Translator: 549690339
The public test is here, so far, if there was to be an NPC popularity ranking in the forum, the Purple Palace would definitely rank.
Although most players have never interacted with him, only read his posts on the forums, sometimes, being handsome really is a significant advantage.
Add to that, he is a Purple Name NPC, anyone can deduce from that that he can provide great help to the players!
You might not believe it, but there are players who decided to play “Heavenly Dust” after seeing pictures and videos of the Purple Palace.
But what is the anticipated Purple Palace doing?
He is looking at the new function activated after the public test.
A new ‘Faction’ option has somehow appeared on the character panel.
When he clicked it, his ‘Faction’ showed ‘Heavenly Dust Continent – Human Race – Demon Sect’.
This represents the world, race, and sect.
In the lower-right corner, flashing in gold, was ‘Unclaimed Task’.
“To think that just after the public test started, I already have a faction task to claim?” Lu Xun was surprised.
“It must be because of my current status.” he thought to himself.
Faction tasks are special. They are similar to the main storyline task ‘Foreign Invasion’. The tasks are assigned according to real circumstances, and differing players might not receive the same tasks.
Well, it depends on your status and your strength. That’s the kind of task you’ll get.
However, the main storyline task ‘Foreign Invasion’ is more straightforward. The higher your contribution points, the more difficult the tasks you get, the greater the responsibility, and the richer the rewards.
The few players with the highest contribution points will receive leader-level tasks.
While faction tasks mainly look at your status. For example, within the same Demon Sect, the Inner Sect Disciples and the Outer Sect Disciples will have different status and hence receive different faction tasks.
As the Young Elder of the Demon Sect, Lu Xun’s status is unusually high which means that any Demon Sect related faction tasks would be different from those given to others.
He clicked on ‘Unclaimed Task’ and a prompt message immediately popped up.
[Ding! Accept the Sect Faction Task?]
Lu Xun chose ‘Claim’ straight away.
“My task is to actually lead the Demon Sect players and win the top three spots in the sect competition?” Lu Xun was a bit stunned.
The sect competition is one of the most grand events in ‘Heavenly Dust’, much like the guild fights in old online games.
Yeah, it’s the kind where two teams clash against each other, the wins and losses could even be announced to the entire server.
This thing is excellent at enticing wealthy players to splurge!
The reason Lu Xun was puzzled is – it’s as if I can participate in the sect wars!
He is currently an NPC and he himself does not have the right to compete. Only players can participate.
Perhaps for other players, this task is to lead everyone to charge at the enemy. But for Lu Xun, this sect faction task allows him to remain behind the scene—a man leading all players from the rear!
Standing behind a group of silly players—just thinking of the posture finds it quite stimulating.
He thought to himself: “I originally planned to pick some potential players to join the Demon Sect. This task coincides perfectly.”
With this thought, he steered his paper crane to fly towards the nearby novice villages. “Let’s go!”
In the Three Thousand Mountains, one of the dense player novice areas, there are a large number of novice villages.
The president of the Emperor Guild, Xuanyuan, looked at the messages from the guild players and then at his own task list, and was utterly confused.
“Where did our Emperor Guild’s ‘Bounty’ task go? Why was it cancelled!?” Xuanyuan felt as though he was choking on a mouthful of old blood.
My awesome hidden task, how can it disappear just like that?
You have to understand, before this, the Emperor Guild had made a high-profile post on the forum to sincerely invite all beta players for help.
Everyone had agreed on the price, ready to team up and head to the brothel in Qingling City to behead that old hen.
The head of this Yin Yang Chicken would be a critical component for the early development of the Emperor Guild!
Now the task showed that it had been completed by someone else, and was directly cancelled?
“What the heck!? No players are allowed to log in at this time, could it be that an NPC completed the task?”
“Damn it! Is this game that realistic? There is a situation where NPCs steal tasks from players!?”
Xuan Yuan couldn’t think of any other reason.
Now the entire Emperor Guild has lost face on the forum.
The more pompous they were before, the more grand their announcement, the more embarrassed they are now.
The reason they acted so ostentatiously was that the Emperor Guild was somewhat high-profile, but the main aim was to rally the beta players to help them. They never anticipated it would end like this.
Even if their group of players teamed up to kill that old bawd and got counter-killed by her, it wouldn’t feel as bad as it does now!
“Damn it! If I find out which NPC is behind all this!”
“Wait till my guild’s members level up, I will kill you!” Xuan Yuan cursed in his heart.
After calming down, he, from the perspective of the guild leader, analyzed the key factors in the early stage of development. He pondered, “Now I can only pin my hopes on Liu Huangsu.”
“In the previous beta test, he said he had noticed the presence of the Purple Palace and even tracked it.”
“Although he was thrown out, man and sword together, with just one glance from the Purple Palace, it can at least prove that Qingling City is a region where the Purple Palace has been active!”
“Tsk tsk, such power from just one glance, how awesome must the Purple Palace be?”
“I wonder if there are any hidden quests to dig into, if we can attempt to latch onto the Purple Palace’s coattails, then our guild could take off!” Xuan Yuan thought in his heart.
Yan Bao had also logged in at Qingling City.
This guy, whose face looked like he would log off at any moment to feed a child, muttered, “My wife Xiao Ran, your queen is back!”
She had already become Xiao Ran’s disciple, aiming to engage in some master-disciple play someday in the future.
However, she didn’t know where Xiao Ran was for now.
But that wasn’t a problem, aiming was the key.
This Xiao flute, she would definitely get!
Now, Xiao Ran had become her biggest motivation to play “Heavenly Dust”.
However, for some reason, she would often recall the image of the veil under the bamboo hat fluttering in the breeze, the face beneath the bamboo hat.
She never thought that she, being a full-on lesbian, would have a day where she was nearly turned straight!
If it were him, it might not be out of the question.
If she could be with both the Purple Palace and Xiao Ran… That would be even more perfect!
“Hahaha! Yan Bao, you really are lustful! Excellent!” She began to inexplicably praise herself.
In two other areas of Qingling City, Lu Xun’s two Sword-Serving Children had logged in, but their states were completely different.
Mo Guanji breathed in the air of “Heavenly Dust”, shouting in his heart, “Gaming is better than dating!”
“My Purple Palace! Your Guanji is back!” He began to search all over the city for Lu Xun.
Though he knew that the probability of the Purple Palace being in Qingling City was not high, there was no harm in looking. If he can’t find him, he could go look for him at the Demon Sect.
He knew Lu Xun was from the Demon Sect, but he was still unaware of his status.
“Mo Guanji, you need to learn from past mistakes, follow the Purple Palace, play games well, and forbid dating online, understand?” he said to himself.
“Even if I, Mo Guanji, dies from exhaustion from playing games, I will not date online!”
After looking around, he decided to head to Lai Fu Restaurant first.
Even though he didn’t know that Lai Fu Restaurant was a Demon Sect stronghold, he noticed the extreme respect the waiter and the boss had for the Purple Palace when he was there.
Perhaps, he could find some information about the Purple Palace there?
On the other side, Han Bagui was stupidly looking around.
Something about the Purple Palace, something about the Demon Sect, he had momentarily forgotten everything.
Right now, he was looking all over the city for his little turtle.
My turtle, where are you?
