Chapter 173: 173, [Bountiful Harvest and Gradual Perversion]

Lu Xun looked at Mao Nanbei’s expression, contemplating whether to reach out and play with her cat ears, scratch her chin like petting a cat, pat her back, or rub her little belly.
But he didn’t.
Because he knew very well that while Mao Nanbei’s grievance was one aspect, her desire to protect him was another, but there was a crucial factor – the little loli couldn’t sit still and was eager to fight!
However, as Lu Xun looked at her pitiful eyes and drooped cat ears, they indeed melted his heart.
“No wonder they say online that a tough guy should love kittens!”
“Besides, she’s a cat-eared loli…”
“Who can resist?”
Lu Xun looked at Mao Nanbei and chuckled, “Okay, I’ll definitely take Fourth Sister with me next time I’m doing something risky.”
Hearing this, Mao Nanbei immediately cheered up, her little toes incessantly closing and opening.
She believed even though her performance was subpar this time, her combat strength was still well esteemed by her little junior brother!
As for what Lu Xun was doing furtively today, Mao Nanbei didn’t really care. She ran into the kitchen in a puff of smoke to check whether Lin Chan’s porridge was ready.
Lu Xun sat in the courtyard’s wicker chair and shook his head with a chuckle.
The evening breeze blew. Now, alone, he began to read the prompt messages that popped up earlier.
There were several of them, all appeared when he picked up that pearl.
“[Ding! You’ve killed the foreign race Bai Beiqiu and earned 200,000 Experience Points.]”
Lu Xun immediately chose to [Claim].
“So this person is truly from the foreign race? Bai Beiqiu?” Lu Xun was taken aback.
“So as I thought, a batch of the foreign race really arrived earlier than the players in the open beta!” Lu Xun found this information very useful.
“The experience points given are quite standard. Killing a fifth-level monster and gaining 200,000 experience points is not much. It doesn’t seem to be counted based on that peak sixth-level at the very end. Feels like a bit of a loss,” Lu Xun thought to himself.
After all, just after descending the mountain, he had used the Sword Qi of Second Sister, which was unexpected.
Normally, it shouldn’t be like this.
However, when he looked at the second message, he immediately didn’t feel it was a loss.
“[Ding! You’ve destroyed the Foreign Race Altar (not fully formed) and earned 4 Random Special Attribute Points and 1 Specific Special Attribute Point!]”
Looking at this piece of information, Lu Xun felt exhilarated!
Special Attribute Points are one of the most elusive rewards. Obtaining such a large amount at once is indeed a rare chance!
As the game progresses, the functionality of Special Attribute Points becomes more substantial. It has the capability to create a significant gap between players!
“Seems like the altar in Taishan hasn’t fully formed yet. I got there just in time,” Lu Xun sighed.
“If it had fully formed, the Special Attribute Points reward would have been much more generous! What a pity!”
But he quickly adjusted his mentality and chose to [Claim].
“Contentment is happiness”, these four words indeed contain infinite wisdom of life.
The lucky wheel instantly appeared before him, and he began to draw 4 Random Special Attribute Points.
In the end, Lu Xun received [Spiritual Power +2], [Stick Aptitude +1], and [Gun Aptitude +1].
Lu Xun thought his luck was passable on his own terms.
It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t too bad either.
Although he didn’t draw the most useful [Swordsmanship Aptitude], the addition of 2 points to [Spiritual Power] left him satisfied.
This could facilitate the growth of his Divine Sense and his control over Sword Qi and Formation, greatly enhancing his combat abilities. Especially beneficial for players like him who rely heavily on awareness.
Having originally had 1 point in Spiritual Power, now with the increase to 3 points, the effect was very significant. Lu Xun’s Divine Sense perception range greatly expanded, making him feel more attuned.
Now, with his enhanced Divine Sense controlling Sword Qi, he estimated he could perform more complex maneuvers!
As for the [Stick Aptitude] and [Gun Aptitude]… they weren’t too bad either.
What’s wrong with a real man having some talent in guns and sticks?
Although he was certainly focusing on Sword Dao, since embarking on an irreversible course where man is the sword, he had previously mentioned that attributes like [Stick Aptitude] could facilitate ease in detecting flaws in cultivators who use sticks in future battles, creating around a 10% increase in damage inflicted upon them!
In the realm of weapons, sticks and guns are notably mainstream, so there are many players who use large sticks and long guns. Of course, some also use short sticks and short guns.
Being small and compact is not necessarily a disadvantage.
“Damn game, I knew I couldn’t draw the Swordsmanship Aptitude on my own. I dare you to make it so I can’t draw it forever!” Lu Xun muttered in his heart.
As for the single Special Attribute Point, he naturally added it to the Swordsmanship Aptitude, making it 5 points!
He could distinctly feel his Sword Heart becoming more sublime, the small sword within his Sword Heart also improved to a certain extent, even his Sword Intent had leveled up!
Of course, his restraint towards sword cultivators also became stronger!
He roughly felt it and said in his heart: “If I compete with Ye Sui’an now and suppress my capabilities to the same level as his, I could smack him flying with one slap!”
Poor Ye Sui’an wasn’t aware that the Elder Lu whom he admired so much had taken him as a reference point, estimating his current strength based on him.
“From the perspective of man turning into a sword, my body should now be worthy of the compliment, ‘good sword,’ right?” He felt somewhat proud.
After doing all these, he shifted his gaze to the third hint, which was also the last one.
“Ding! You have successfully triggered the main mission: Foreign Invasion, do you want to claim it?”
Lu Xun resolutely chose to claim it.
“I thought I wouldn’t be able to trigger my main mission for a while!”
After claiming it, the content of the mission was temporarily blank.
However, there was a displayed value at the bottom, with ‘Contribution Points: 5100’.
Main missions would be issued with the development of the main plot, and the missions received by each player didn’t necessarily coincide. The mission content depended on how much contribution you had made to your faction before.
Players and Foreign Races are naturally two inherently opposing factions. Players will be rewarded with experience points for killing members of the Foreign Race; it would be strange if they didn’t oppose each other.
Considering that Lu Xun has already killed a level 50+ Foreign Race member and destroyed a semi-finished altar, his contribution was indeed considerable, especially regarding the destroyed altar!
From the numerical perspective, killing a level 50+ member of the Foreign Race only yields 100 points while destroying a semi-finished altar awards 5000 points!
After all, from the perspective of the normal game progression, by the time the main plot is triggered, destroying an altar will be a hell-level difficulty.
At this moment, although the game’s leaderboard was not yet in effect, Lu Xun’s contribution ranking was definitely first.
And there’s no competition…
Tell you the truth, he didn’t even know if he, being a transmigrator now, could still make it onto the leaderboard.
However, one can deduce from this that the missions he will be triggering next will most likely be Faction Leader Rank Missons!
The difficulty of these missions will be the highest, but the rewards will be the greatest too!
And by using his NPC identity, he can let the other silly players become worker bees for him… His advantages will keep increasing!
Now he is more and more looking forward to the public beta.
After processing these hints, Lu Xun took out the white pearl from his storage ring.
He was not quite sure about the usage of this pearl, which served as the core of the altar.
According to his previous life memory, players had destroyed several altars during their battles with the Foreign Race, but no mysterious pearls were left after the altars were destroyed.
“How strange,” Lu Xun said to himself.
Could it be because this altar is not yet fully formed?
The information he had about the altar was not much since few altars were found and destroyed by players before his transmigration.
“Should I try to destroy another one if I get the chance?”
“Raiding a home in advance… It’s kind of exciting!”
At this moment, the white pearl didn’t have any special aura. It looked like a very ordinary pearl, but Lu Xun suddenly had a crazy and somewhat perverted impulse in his heart.
He couldn’t even figure out why he would have such an impulse!
At this moment, the black cord on the sword sheath rubbed against the back of Lu Xun’s hand and then pointed at this pearl.
“Do you want to swallow it?” Lu Xun asked.
The black cord hooked down, as if nodding.
Its longing for this pearl was several ten times stronger than for the Yin Bead!
Looking at the sword sheath, Lu Xun showed a somewhat awkward smile on his face and said,
“What a coincidence, I actually want to eat it too…”
