Chapter Forty-Four Establishing Guidelines

  The two left Longshan Liang, on the mountain road, the聚宝盆 (聚宝盆 is a proper noun and I'll keep it as is) sighed repeatedly, what a fierce sword!

  The rustling of the wind reminded him that what he should be paying attention to now was not the sword, but its master.

  "What's there to pay attention to!" The wind blowing through the Bao Pond interrupted his daydream with discontent.

  "Are you going to his so-called 'Money Gang' or not!"

  "Of course I'll go! When I get back, I'll call Old Big and the others to see if they want to go, but I reckon they won't be willing. Do you want to come with me and have some fun?"

  "No need, I've already made up my mind not to join any gangs!"

  "Good, you can be so arrogant from now on!" said with a tone of contempt, praising words is the strongest suit of Jibao.

  "What are you going to do now?"

  "There's nothing to do!"

  "What's the latest news? Tell me everything!"

  "News usually comes from forums, I see that you often go on forums more diligently than us, it should be you who tells us!"

  "I've been searching for it all along!"

  "There hasn't been much news lately, but recently everyone has been enthusiastic about finding their own materials and forging their own weapons!"

  "Why?"

  "The main reason is probably that I can name the weapon I made myself!" After saying that, Jibao Pan coldly smiled at Feng Xiao Xiao.

  The wind is howling and my heart is also in a knot. It's sad that my power has been stripped away like this.

  "What shall we do now?" asked Feng Xiao Xiao.

  Nothing to do, I'll go find Xiao Yao and them!

  "Aren't you here with your gang friends? Don't mind them?"

  "Cut, we've been in touch all along, can you see my messages?"

  “……”

  The two of them walked silently to the relay station at the foot of the mountain, "I'm going back to Luoyang! It's almost time to get off, see you later!" The聚宝盆 waved goodbye and disappeared in a flash.

  Feng Xiao Xiao stood at the foot of the mountain station, lonely and counting the number of people coming and going. Having nothing to do, she sat down again to practice her internal skills, until the next line, her internal strength increased by 14 points, and her proficiency also slightly improved.

  The four of them went back to their dormitory, and on the way, Liangzi chattered about the encounter with the treasure hunter.

  "Hmm, if you want to go, then go, it doesn't matter whether we're in the same gang or not!" The boss said.

  "What's wrong? I'm just telling you, not discussing it with you!" Liangzi said disdainfully.

  Xiao Peng has been ignoring Liangzi and asked Ye Kai: "I saw that post on the forum, what's going on?"

  Ye Kai told the story again.

  "Longyan is quite a famous master, you defeated him and had your face plastered everywhere, I reckon wherever you go, you'll be recognized!"

  "Yes, I'm also worried about this!"

  "Hehe, if you recognize it then just recognize it, there's nothing to worry about!" said Lao Da.

  "People fear fame, pigs fear fat!"

  "Wow, you really think you're a celebrity now!" No matter what, Liangzi always picks out the thorns to despise others. Fortunately, everyone is already used to it, so when speaking, they all treat him as air.

  Everyone casually chatted for a couple of sentences and returned to the house, preparing to sleep. Liangzi was not willing to give up yet, still wanting to discuss today's encounter with Duobao Qimou and his sword, and insisted that everyone discuss it together with him.

  The boss sighed: "I didn't expect that even someone of this level wouldn't know!"

  Xiao Peng recalled: "The martial arts of the Hengshan Sect are stronger in defense than offense!"

  Ye Kai exclaimed: "His sword's name sounds so good!"

  After each of the three people made a concluding statement, they immediately fell asleep. Only Liangzi was left, still praising them endlessly.

  When waking up for dinner, Ye Kai expressed his doubts about what he was doing in the game.

  The boss replied: "Games are mainly for leveling up! When you're bored, you can go and do some quests!"

  "What tasks can I complete to gain experience and level up?"

  The boss thought for a moment and said: "For now, it seems that only helping the government catch escaped prisoners can gain some experience, but relying on this to level up is too unrealistic!"

  Ye Kai thought of the fast pace when he was caught looking at the wanted poster for the first time.

  "You'd better focus on leveling up, what else do you want to do?"

  "I haven't practiced with anyone before, I don't know where to start!"

  "Your point distribution is quite innovative, without strength or weapons, you don't have normal attack power, only skill attacks, and you can only use one skill at a time. Although the power is considerable, the internal force consumption is also very severe, so spending money will be very intense too. In fact, the character you're training can be said to be PK-type, PK is quite fierce, even if someone with a higher level than yours from Longyan would accidentally fall into your hands. However, the drawback is that it's extremely inconvenient to train levels up. Having someone bring you along is the best solution, originally you've been following us and we could have solved this problem, but now that you want to come out on your own, of course, we'll support you! Fortunately, you have a pretty powerful 'Ruo Xu' sword now, hurry up and train until you can wield it, then the problem will be alleviated!" Liangzi said in one breath.

  "Hmm, or add a school of thought, learn some practical moves, like that girl you know, her hidden weapon kung fu is very suitable for leveling up!" Xiaopeng added a few more sentences.

  "My 'Wind Rolls Clouds Scatter' only consumes 100-200 internal energy, but I see that all of your internal energies are in the thousands, is the consumption really that great?"

  "Your current level is just one layer, and every time you upgrade a layer, it will increase a lot. And your kung fu has a total of ten layers, I don't dare to think about how much internal energy you'll need when you reach the tenth layer!" Xiao Peng explained.

  The boss has been silent all along, and now he speaks up: "I've always thought that your points were added a bit extravagantly, but after hearing you talk about the process of defeating Longyan, I feel that this addition is actually a lucky coincidence, fully bringing out the strengths of both your martial arts. Your current characteristics are fast, accurate, and ruthless. Practice well, and I think your future prospects are boundless."

  Ye Kai nodded as if he understood but didn't really understand.

  Xiao Peng said sorrowfully, "Do you know why you can do all this? It's because you have two abnormal martial arts! I'm so envious of you!" Xiao Peng went into a frenzy again. Since there were no monsters in reality for him to vent on, he downed the entire bowl of instant noodles in one gulp.

  The boss continued: "To sum it up, this number is just a money-burning number. As long as you're willing to spend big bucks and eat bitterness, you can be invincible in the world!"

  A few words made Ye Kai's blood boil with excitement. He stood up and laughed wildly, saying: "Great, from today on I will practice my skills madly, practice my martial arts!"

  Liangzi poured cold water again: "Practicing martial arts costs a lot of money, do you have the money?"

  Unfortunately, everyone has already developed the hard skill of treating him as air, and no one pays attention to him. The boss continued: "The system of 'jianghu' is still being continuously improved, and many new things will be generated. You don't need to be so obsessed with leveling up and practicing skills. Intentional practice can be very tiring. Just practice unintentionally during the game process."

  Xiao Peng also nodded in agreement at this point.

  Liangzi said with a sarcastic tone: "You guys are so good at talking, one is practicing levels and the other is practicing skills, both of you are being very deliberate!"

  The boss retorted, "We're different from him, I practice levels, Little Peng practices skills, we can both have fun in the process. For us, practicing levels and skills is the best way to play games, but Akai is different, he still hasn't found true joy in the game, always being led by others."

  Ye Kai listened excitedly and grasped Lao Da's hand, saying: "A kindred spirit is hard to find, you are truly my bosom friend for a thousand years."

  The boss smiled and said: "I've been through it myself, of course I know!"

  The two held hands, gazing into each other's eyes, tenderly and lovingly. Xiaopeng and Liangzi got goosebumps all over their bodies and hastily stepped forward to interrupt this disgusting scene.

  Ye Kai clenched his fist and said: "Good, from today on, I will also strive for strength in the game and work hard to move forward."

  "Right, we all support you!" The three of them shouted in unison.

  It's just a pity that this isn't the result of diligent study, otherwise this scene would be enough to make any so-called excellent student feel ashamed, and make any teacher feel extremely pleased.

  "Strive for excellence and work hard to move forward", Ye Kai's guiding principle in the game was finally established.
