Chapter 152: 152, 【Charge forward, damn it】 (Request for monthly tickets!)
Translator: 549690339
For the entire day, Lu Xun basically confined himself in his room, only stepping out to cook for the people of the back mountain.
It can’t be helped; he also has the part-time job of being the back mountain’s chef.
It’s just a pity that being a chef doesn’t reward any Experience Points. I am, after all, serving the NPCs!
While Lu Xun was in his room, he mostly spent his time writing and drawing on the two small booklets, then revising and modifying them.
Because of the early public beta, some of his planned schedules were disrupted. Some of them needed to be advanced, some needed to be delayed, and some might even be canceled.
But that doesn’t matter. Having the players arrive a year earlier means they can be exploited for an extra year. By throwing out some more of his own integrity and lowering his bottom line a bit, he can easily earn it back.
Be a bit more ruthless, and live a bit better.
Besides, with so many players shouting “I’m a fan of Only the Purple Palace”, how could he divide the loyal fans and casual fans without bleeding a bit for the Purple Palace?
“On the other hand, I should advance the date of going down the mountain,” Lu Xun thought.
Always staying in the Demon Sect isn’t a solution either. Before the players arrive, he still has quite a few hidden quests to do first.
After briefly revisiting the contents of those two booklets, Lu Xun put them back in his storage ring.
After sitting cross-legged on his bed, Lu Xun opened up his own character panel.
Upgrading the Sword Cultivating Technique before had consumed 75,000 Experience Points. Now he only had little more than 130,000 Experience Points left.
After contemplating for a while, he spent 100,000 Experience Points to level up the Nameless Technique by one level, upgrading his Character Level smoothly to Level 12, making him a Cultivator of the Initial Realm, 2nd layer.
100,000 Experience Points just for one level, Lu Xun felt it was extremely painful. But seeing the robust Spirit Force within his body, a smile couldn’t help but form on Lu Xun’s face.
This Spirit Force, it looks just as fierce as its shape suggests.
As a matter of fact, it’s even fiercer when utilised!
After upgrading his Character Level, Lu Xun saw that he still had some Experience Points left. So, he leveled up the Ancient Five Elements Formation by one level as well, which cost him 20,000 Experience Points.
Suddenly, only a little more than 10,000 Experience Points was left.
As for Sword Cultivating Technique… it wouldn’t be upgraded again any time soon, unless he gets another Swordsmanship Skill Upgrade Coupon, and it must be a high-grade one.
To upgrade the Sword Cultivating Technique with Experience Points, he would need an entire 400,000!
Using an upgrading coupon to upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5 was equal to getting 180,000 Experience Points for free. But this 400,000 Experience Points is too scary. He won’t be able to get that much in the short term, even if he could get that many Experience Points, Lu Xun would prioritize upgrading the Nameless Technique.
The Sword Cultivating Technique is ultimately just a technique, and Level 5 is already quite enough for now. The further he progresses, the more Spirit Force will be consumed each time he casts out the Sword Qi. If Lu Xun’s Character Level doesn’t keep up, he might become depleted after casting only one or two swords.
He can’t keep letting his body drain like this!
Now look at his current Special Attribute Points:
[Swordsmanship Aptitude 4]
[Formation Qualification 2]
[Spiritual Power 1]
[Enlightenment 1]
[Luck 1] (Cannot upgrade)
[Charisma 10] (Already at the Cap)
No one would think that this is just a Level 12 character by looking at these Special Attributes.
Especially this Swordsmanship Aptitude, it’s so imposing!
Even his previous main account in his past life, after reaching the full Level of 60, only had a Stick Aptitude of 7.
That 7-point Stick Aptitude was already extremely impressive. After all, the top players in the game only have a single attribute at 8 points.
Back in the day, the phrase “Eat the stick” would make countless players tremble in fear upon hearing about it and shiver with fear, unable to close their legs from fear, and firmly established his reputation as the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero.
Lu Xun reminisced about his exciting past, a smile appearing on his face.
With his current overall strength, he would have no problem leading the silly players.
On the contrary, if his levels are too high and too far ahead of the players, there would be… limited use for him for the time being.
