Lu Xun, dressed in black robes, appeared before the four players. Despite being physically close, he elicited a sense of great distance.
Like that between a banished celestial being and a mortal.
His good looks verged on unreal, resembling a Sky God!
Cai Jiangjiang experienced mental shock once again. She tried hard to maintain her elegance, but the charm of the Purple Palace was irresistible.
Woman, the stars in your eyes betray you!
Lu Xun glanced at the four players. He was satisfied with the choices he made.
“Cai Jiangjiang, strategic mastermind, based on her past experiences, her strategic level in Heavenly Dust can definitely be ranked top three. She’s the dirtiest among strategic players but has the highest popularity.”
“Li Zuole, a professional player at the god-tier level with top-notch skills, one of the strongest future players. A notorious playboy in the esports circle, having unclear relationships with numerous female streamers. Yet, countless female streamers fling themselves at him for the popularity he could bring.”
“Wang Gangtie, a straight-up man with a resilient will. All he knows is fighting and is unaffected by any external factors, environment, or emotions. Looking through his gaming career, there’s no romantic history, not even a gaming couple. As one of the strongest tanks in Heavenly Dust, he’s known as the toughest guy in the game. He’s capable of holding the fort alone in the late game.”
“Xiao Guangming, a master assassin, professional bush lurker, and a divine level dogged player. His surprise attacks never follow the conventional ways. Under the right conditions, his power could exceed Li Zuole. This man’s frontal combat power isn’t lacking either and was called by jokester players as a Berserker that resembles an assassin the most.”
This is Lu Xun’s brand-new “harem members”!
Looking at the tension and expectation in their eyes, he felt satisfied.
Clearly, they are eager to become my Sword-Serving Child.
Lu Xun looked at them and said, “You guys are good.”
Upon hearing this, the four of them showed joy.
Although we don’t know what the selection standard of the Purple Palace is, based on what we see now, have we been chosen by the Purple Palace?
“Are you willing to become my Sword-Serving Child?” Lu Xun asked.
Having said that, he sent out a notification through the NPC template.
A prompt message immediately popped up before the four of them:
“[Do you want to become Lu Xun’s Sword-Serving Child?]”
The four of them chose[Yes]without any hesitation.
The player template displayed a detailed[Faction]distribution. Therefore, they discovered there were already Sword-Serving Children who joined the Purple Palace before them!
These two were none other than Mo Guanji and Han Bagui, who had shown outstanding performances in the Outer Sect competition!
However, the former was noticeable because he somehow managed to level up fast despite his poor performance, winning by the skin of his teeth and leaving people speechless.
The latter because of his strong combat awareness, fast levelling, and managing to claim second place thus attracting attention.
“These two sure kept a low profile!” was the first thought that came to the minds of the four.
And, as Lu Xun had predicted, Mo Guanji’s ineptitude served as great motivation.
“Mo Guanji is so incompetent, yet he’s achieved so much. If these resources were bestowed upon me, wouldn’t I ascend right where I stand?”
This also indirectly highlights the unimaginable benefits the Purple Palace could provide to their players…too much to envisage!
If all goes as expected, it seems we’ve hitched a ride to success!
Lu Xun looked at them and continued, “Alright, I hope you will practice diligently in the future. Don’t disappoint me.”
Having said that, he turned and left without a trace.
In reality, Lu Xun was hiding nearby, observing their reactions.
“Oh? The Purple Palace has left as quickly as he appeared?” Xiao Guangming was the first to speak, looking puzzled. “Shouldn’t there be a ceremony for the admission of a Sword-Serving Child? Isn’t this a bit hasty?”
Wang Gangtie stood beside him, his fists clenched tight. “Why does it feel like you’re kind of slow? We’re Sword-Serving Children, not direct disciples of the Purple Palace. What high treatment are you expecting?”
Xiao Guangming glanced at him and said, “Please, you’re built like a tower. The idea of you calling yourself a ‘Child’ gives me the creeps!”
Cai Jiangjiang said nothing and was daydreaming, staring in the direction where Lu Xun disappeared.
It was the notorious playboy, Li Zuole, who broke the silence, “I wonder, do any of you still have unfinished Faction tasks?”
“Yes, I haven’t chopped my Spirit Bamboo today!” Wang Gangtie responded.
