“Heavenly Dust” has just started public testing, and the forum is currently in its prime.

Countless players who joined the public test at the first moment are posting.

Most of the posts are praising this game to the heavens.

No choice, “Heavenly Dust” is a fresh new edition they had never seen in a game before!

It’s so realistic, as if they’ve been incarnated and directly transported to another world!

Many players posted in-game screenshots on the forum, whether it’s the scenery or the characters, they all left people in awe.

It’s conceivable that though this game has only just started public testing, it will soon explode and become the hottest game, bar none!

Among all the posts, a few seemed unremarkable at first, but any player who skimmed them could scarcely resist paying attention. Gradually, these posts gained traction.

It was a post about learning skills in the newbie village. The location was Black Bamboo City, the character was a middle-aged NPC dressed in a white robe.

There were three reasons these posts kept heating up.

Firstly, in the early stages of public testing, there wasn’t many NPCs with colored names, let alone a rare yellow one.

Secondly, freshly beta testers were fairly eager, they maintained great curiosity towards the game. Skill learning bore immense temptation for them, especially when this mysterious white-robed NPC had a handful of Skill Books!

Thirdly, quite simply, he was handsome.

Players took screenshots of Lu Xun, no matter from which angle, there was simply no bad angle!

Front face handsome, side profile handsome, even the back of his head was handsome.

Damn, it’s too much!

Once they posted the screenshots of this mysterious NPC on the forum, he not only draws attention for being a newbie skill guide, even as a mere decoration, he’d cause quite a stir.

Below these posts, the players were in a heated discussion.

“I’m so envious, why didn’t I encounter such a skill teacher?”

“Yeah, the skills are too comprehensive. My girlfriend told me to learn this ‘Eagle’s Claw’!”

“Wake up above, you don’t have a girlfriend!”

“This white-robed NPC is so handsome, I always thought I wasn’t into uncles, now… so delicious!”

“Uh, I looked at the above info, it turns out he’s a guy! I wonder what you find delicious, do you fancy man-on-man?”

“Could the grand sculptor please tell me if this NPC is still in Black Bamboo City?”

“+1! I also want to know if this NPC is still in Black Bamboo City! I checked the map, I’m not far from there, I want to learn some skills.”

Underneath the mix of serious and frivolous comments, the post’s popularity continuously rose, maintaining a prominent position on the homepage, attracting many players to browse.

At the same time, don’t forget one thing – people tend to compare with each other.

Many players have also learned skills from other NPCs, but it was the first time they saw such a comprehensive one.

Why doesn’t the NPC I encountered have such comprehensive skill books?

Think carefully, can anyone else be comprehensive, who would bother to learn two shelves full of low-level spells while cultivating?

Only one like Lu Xun who can cheat could do it.

Moreover, the conditions inside the Demon Sect Tower of Imparting Skills are not something any ordinary sect can compete with, Lu Xun only casually learned some.

Furthermore, even if the players entered the Transmission Tower, they couldn’t study freely and without restrictions like him.

After all, he is who he is, the Transmission Tower is like his personal study room.

As for others, they’re just borrowing in my study room!

Actually, if you think about it carefully, which players would have a great demand for an NPC like Lu Xun?

It’s those guild players and professional players!

For regular players, they would learn whatever they can, they aren’t too particular.

But for guild players and professional players, the more comprehensive the skills of a newbie guide, the more choices they have. When it comes time to team up and kill monsters, the benefits and advantages are even greater.

It’s easy to understand. A whole team with only one skill, which is different from everyone else’s, won’t coordinate well in the majority of situations.

Some are responsible for offensive skills, others for defensive skills, others for supplementary skills…having everyone do their own job obviously works best.

After all, players can’t learn many skills in early stages, you might want to develop all-around, but your experience points won’t allow it!

Thereupon, many people began to keep a close watch on this White Robed NPC’s movements.

When they learned that he had left Black Bamboo City, they wanted to know where he was headed.

At this point, certainly not every in-the-know player will keep tight-lipped. Many of them directly revealed on the forum, “This NPC said that the wine in Red Mountain County is good, he probably went there.”

Once this news broke out, the players in and around Red Mountain County immediately started to vocalize their excitement.

“Hehe, it’s my turn to have a blast!”

At this moment, Lu Xun was sitting on a paper crane, leisurely, heading to the novice village — Red Mountain County.

He was not in a hurry, as he needed to give the post time to gain traction.

Once the players in the Demon Sect region get used to this NPC who wanders all over the place, they will start to stalk him on time and will no longer need to slowly stir up interest like this.

All along the way, Lu Xun had been keeping an eye on the forum, but what he paid attention to was different from the players, he focused on the nickname the players gave him.

Due to his critical role to novice players, and his outstanding appearance, his popularity rises rapidly and poses a small threat to the Purple Palace.

At this time, a Name Suggestion thread came about again, identical to the one before. It was posted by the same person.

“Damn, are you planning to dedicate yourself to doing this?” Lu Xun complained in his mind.

Among all the suggested names, “White Emperor” amazingly received the highest votes.

“Is it just because I wear a white robe, have the look of a middle-aged man and carry an air of mystery?” Lu Xun was somewhat puzzled.

He felt that the nickname, White Emperor, was a bit too grand. By rights, players shouldn’t give an NPC with a yellow tag such a high-level alias.

Later on, he noted the gender of the players who voted for “White Emperor” and found a high proportion of females.

Alright, the advantage of good looks came into play once again.

Everyone is visual. If he looked like Pigsy despite wearing a white robe and being powerful, the highest voted nickname would probably not be “White Emperor”, “White Pig” would be more like it!

If he looked as handsome as a deity descending to mortals, it seems like he would be able to live up to the title, right?

Lu Xun recalled that the White Emperor was one of the Five Gods, who is the Western White Emperor God.

Also known as Shaohao and Xuanxiao.

Compared to the slightly flamboyant “Purple Palace,” “White Emperor” is much more stable.

At this time, Lu Xun closed the forum, glanced at the map and found he had reached Red Mountain County.

Red Mountain County is not big, but it’s nestled between mountains and rivers, a small city next to Red Mountain filled with maple trees.

During a certain season, the maple leaves covering the whole mountain present a very spectacular view.

What Lu Xun found amusing was, there was already a group of players outside Red Mountain County, holding wine jugs, eagerly waiting for the arrival of the White Emperor.

Lu Xun slightly smiled, put the paper crane back into the storage ring, and stopped hiding himself from the public eye. He then appeared in front of the players.

With both hands behind his back, he gently descended from the air.

A few maple leaves from Red Mountain fell, he tiptoed on top of them without a hint of weight, not putting any burden on the leaves.

The maple leaves continued to flutter with the wind, and he hopped between them.

In the eyes of the players, that’s how he came before them.

Walking on the leaf.
