Chapter 70: 070, [The Charm of Purple]

After MO Guanji ran off into the distance, Lu Xun nonchalantly climbed onto the carriage.

Ji Li and Murong Yan didn’t ask further questions, assuming that the young elder, Lu Xun, had just intervened to save someone in need.

Lu Xun didn’t provide any details, choosing to close his eyes and restore his energy in the carriage.

He had not mentioned going into town, and so naturally, Murong Yan and Ji Li didn’t insist on it.

Lu Xun didn’t want to go into town for the time being; he was too conspicuous.

His NPC template information displayed a changed name color—purple. So, if it was purple on his template, then the players would surely see it as purple, too.

In the early stages of the game, players would be as enthralled as dogs chasing tails at the sight of a yellow-named NPC. Thus, a purple-named NPC like him could cause quite a stir even in the later stages of the game!

It couldn’t be helped. The color of the name reflected one’s status. Despite Lu Xun’s low level, his status was high. Shen Yan was a purple-name NPC, so how could Lu Xun, acting as Shen Yan’s young elder, be of the blue or yellow name?

At this moment, Lu Xun was once again studying some of his features.

After he assigned a task to MO Guanji, he could check the progress of the task. At the same time, the ten silver taels in his storage ring had been locked.

“Ten silver taels, is that a bit too much?” Lu Xun pondered.

He suddenly understood why Shen Yan was so frugal. The cost of even the most basic necessities can be surprising if not personally experienced.

Speaking of which, he now had a daily quota of 2000 experience points, which was quite substantial in the early stages of the game.

However, this was only enough to educate a small number of players.

If he wanted a large group of players to work hard for him, this amount of experience points would not suffice.

“I need to level up even more. The higher the level, the more experience points I can benefit from.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

At the same time, he found that he had unlocked two more NPC functions after interacting with MO Guanji. These functions were favorability adjustment and the teaching of cultivation methods or skills.

“I could test the ability to adjust favorability later, but teaching cultivation methods and skills is a bit tricky,” Lu Xun deliberated with his eyes closed.

After all, his current knowledge of cultivation methods and skills was limited and quite advanced. Even the simplest “Qi Consumption Technique” was a valuable asset in the early stages of the game.

The main issue was that the “Qi Consumption Technique” was a divine skill exclusive to the Demon Sect, and not all players were qualified to join such a prestigious sect.

All players aspired to join the four major righteous sects or the three Demon Sects. However, most of them would only be capable of joining middle-tier or small sects.

For Lu Xun at this moment, players were like affordable vegetables at a street vendor, free for him to pick and choose.

“I almost forgot, didn’t I learn a skill named ‘Eagle’s Claw’? ” Lu Xun remembered the agile set of techniques he had learned from an ancient book discovered on a corpse before he headed to the Demon Sect.

At the beginning of the game, this technique could be taught to players freely. This gray-level technique did not require experience points to learn, making it a perfect choice.

But the thought of a bunch of players unknowingly curling their fingers as if aiming mid-air was an eyesore.

“Whatever, as long as I find it aesthetically pleasing, it doesn’t matter to me,” Lu Xun quickly convinced himself.

He looked outside the carriage and pondered, “I wonder what kind of guinea pig MO Guanji will find for me this time.”

On the other hand, guided by the map, MO Guanji rushed into Tong County at top speed.

Other players should have already entered Tong County to complete beginner tasks.
