Chapter 9: The Second Lesson of Jianghu

  In the blink of an eye, the crowd chasing from behind had already rushed in front of them.

  Wan Shitong gazed at the opponent's fierce eyes, and his heart was already filled with regret. He glanced at Feng Xiaoxiao, who was also looking at him. Wan Shitong made a zipping motion across his mouth, meaning: "You came up with this idea, you go explain it!"

  The wind was blowing gently, and he calmed his nerves, reorganizing the words he wanted to say. He took a step forward, made an honest and trustworthy expression, and opened his mouth to speak.

  The words had barely left his mouth when a man rushed forward from the opposite side and said viciously: "Damn it, where's the person?"

  The wind that had just opened its mouth closed again, turned its head to look at the all-knowing one, and the all-knowing one was also looking back at the wind with a puzzled expression.

  The wind was blowing gently, and after some thought, he had already understood what was going on. He restrained himself from laughing out loud and walked forward to ask, "Are you looking for someone?"

  The person opposite immediately retorted: "Yes, find two people, did you see that?"

  Close on its heels was heated discussion.

  "Huh? I saw them enter the crowd, but now they're gone!"

  "Damn it, he must be hiding!"

  "This sentence is complete nonsense."

  "The person is gone, and the treasure is also gone!"

  ……

  As they spoke, the crowd dispersed. Some shook their heads in dismay, others were indignant, and some still refused to give up, diving into the crowd, hoping to find some clues from the uniform faces.

  Everything goes forward, looking at the wind, with a puzzled look in his left eye and incomprehension in his right eye.

  "They are just like you were a moment ago, unable to recognize us!"

  Everything goes well with the left eye replaced by enlightenment and the right eye reflecting a change into felicity.

  "It's done, what are you still doing here! Let's go!" The wind blew and pulled the All-Purpose Tool a bit, as if it was reluctant to see everyone leave.

  "Go, where?"

  "Yeah, where to go? There's nowhere to go!"

  "Let's go sit in this teahouse!" Wanshitong pointed to a nearby teahouse.

  "Then you're buying!"

  "It's just a little money, I'll treat you!"

  Two people entered the teahouse and went upstairs to the second floor.

  "Hey kid, come get some tea!" shouted Wanshichong.

  "It's just like it really is!" Feng Xiao Xiao thought to herself with a sneer.

  Tea was served, and Wan Shi Tong poured a cup for one person, then drank it all in one gulp himself.

  "This... this is really drinkable!" Feng Xiao Xiao stared in amazement.

  "Rubbish! Haven't I drunk it all?"

  "In the information age, the simulated age!" The wind whispered, took a sip, and really didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, just like drinking real water.

  "You're just someone who's never played online games, who isn't like this nowadays?!"

  "Is it? It seems I'm a bit out of touch with the times!"

  "It's not, is it? Now this game has become so realistic, and more and more people are playing it. It's like living in two completely different eras at the same time. Isn't that equivalent to living two lifetimes?" Wan Shitong had rested enough and began to chat enthusiastically again.

  "Yes, yes!"

  "Just now I saw you running very fast, what grade are you in? Why are you still wearing this uniform?"

  "Perfect score!"

  "Level 10, you're running so fast at level 10, I bet you added half of your points to agility!"

  "Sure enough, he's a know-it-all, and now his true nature has been exposed!"

  "Hehe, at the beginning, nobody usually adds agility, they all add strength to increase attack power so that they can kill faster."

  "Oh, I just saw your agility and it's probably about the same as mine, what level are you?"

  "I'm level 28, agility is about the same as yours, but if I use lightness skill, I can easily shake you off!"

  "What light skill!"

  "I'm from the Tianshan Sect, my lightness skill is 'Eight Steps Chasing Cicada', have you heard of it? You probably don't know, right!"

  "Really don't know, your lightness skill is quite impressive? How does it compare to Wudang's 'Tieyun Zong'?"

  "Also know 'ladder cloud longitudinal' haha, 'ladder cloud longitudinal' on a straight line is not as good as me, but on a vertical line I can't compare to it!"

  "What is perpendicular line?"

  "Sprinting is just running on the ground as usual, and vertical jumping is simply high jump!"

  "Oh, then 'Tie Yun Zong' is still more handsome!"

  "It's up to personal preference, I can jump high with these 'eight steps of hurry', it's just not as high as 'ladder cloud leap'!"

  "Oh..."

  "Have you joined the gang?"

  "Not yet, I originally wanted to go to Wudang, but I don't have enough money to go!"

  "Have you been training up to level 10 and still haven't gotten anything? Oh, I know, you've just been fighting animals, right? Animals don't drop equipment or money!"

  "Ah, there's such a setting? Then where can I sell equipment and money?"

  "Near here, from the North Gate, on the road leading up to Hei Shan Village, there are mountain bandits. Your level is quite suitable for training there!"

  "Oh, I'll go take a look in a bit!"

  "What's wrong with you? Go back to the webpage and learn more about the game!"

  "Oh, right! You just mentioned a hidden task, what's going on with that?!"

  "This one says on the homepage that this afternoon someone completed a hidden task and is the first person in Jianghu to complete a hidden task."

  "Didn't the homepage mention what this hidden task is about?"

  "It's a novice village task, with two requirements to trigger it: one is to help others selflessly, and the other is to do good deeds without seeking reward."

  "What does it mean?"

  "Helping others is joyful, which means helping all the villagers who ask for help; bestowing kindness without seeking reward means refusing all task rewards after completing the helping task! In fact, many people have reached the first point, but as for the second point, you can see how many axe helpers there are! Moreover, the system announced that this hidden task belongs to high-level hidden tasks, which means: once someone completes it, it will never be triggered again!"

  "Why doesn't the homepage say who this person is?"

  "This is the player's privacy, and saying it out might bring a lot of trouble for this player!"

  "What trouble? What trouble?" Feng Xiao's heart tightened, he had originally planned to tell Diao Diao Wan Shi Tong that he was the one who completed the hidden task, but now that there might be more trouble, he was already prepared to dismiss this idea.

  "What's wrong? Look at those people who were chasing us just now, what trouble can we have?"

  "Oh, never mind that. You have such a deep understanding of the game, tell me about something else!" Feng Xiao Xiao hastily changed the subject!

  "This, you suddenly ask me to talk, I don't know what to say!"

  "Oh, then tell me what's special about this game and what's worth noting!"

  "This is more than enough, which aspect do you want to know?"

  "Let's talk about martial arts first!"

  "Martial arts can be learned by going to a sect, or by reading martial arts manuals. There are attacking moves and defensive moves, which you already know about. Then there's internal power, which is cultivated through inner strength training, very important because the amount of inner power directly affects attack and defense. This point is similar to wuxia. The rest, like lightness skills, should be considered auxiliary skills!"

  "Equipment!"

  "As for equipment, compared to other games, there's only one special thing - if rare equipment drops in the game, the system won't take it back when refreshing, which means that if no one picks it up, it will stay there forever!"

  "This won't lead to weapons all over the floor, will it?"

  "What you're holding is a rare weapon! The game has been open for so long and only one has appeared!"

  "What is it?"

  "Seven Absolute Whirlwind Sword!"

  "Seven Absolute Whirlwind Sword? One sword pierces the sky!" The wind howled loudly.

  "One sword charging into the sky! Where? Where?" The people around were attracted by the shouting again.

  "No no, I'm telling a story to my friend!" This time, Mr. Know-It-All learned his lesson.

  "Do you know One Sword Reaches the Sky?" asked Wanshutong, turning his head to ask Feng Xiaoxiao.

  Feng Xiao nodded and said: "The first person I met in the game tonight was him, he even gave me a flying knife, I didn't expect this guy to be so despicable!"

  "No, the only rare weapon is in his hands. It's said that this 'Seven Extremes Whirlwind Sword' also has a matching martial art called 'Seven Extremes Whirlwind Sword', with boundless power! One sword can shake the heavens, relying on this sword and martial art, he is now the number one person in Jianghu."

  The wind was blowing strongly as he took a deep breath, never expecting that upon his debut in the Jianghu, he would already be entangled with such an unimpressive person.

  "Wait until the player guild system is open, this kind of person will definitely be a legendary figure!"

  "What about you? What are you going to achieve in this world?"

  "I, hehe, just look at my name and you'll know, my ideal is to become a figure in the Jianghu who knows everything!"

  "That's even more challenging!"

  "There's no difficulty, don't forget, this is just a game, as long as you pay attention and collect information in your daily life, you can do it!"

  "Haha, so from now on I have a place to ask if I don't understand something!"

  "That goes without saying, we're also bosom buddies! Come on, let's add each other as good friends!"

  After adding each other as friends, Wan Shi Tong stood up and said: "Alright brother, I'm off now! Take care of yourself! Haha!"

  "Take care!"
