There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 95: 095, [Time to Play in the Dungeon]

Translator: 549690339

“[Ding! The internal testing has ended, forcibly logging off…]” This notification appeared in front of every internal test player.

Mo Guanji:

At this moment, he was dumbfounded as he was the kind of kid who was so immersed in the game that he temporarily forgot about the time.

He didn’t expect the internal testing to end so quickly, and he hadn’t even had time to say goodbye to the Purple Palace yet.

As for Han Bagui, Lu Xun’s other sword-serving child, he did not have this idea. He just took off his hat. Inside the top of the hat was a little recessed area, where a small turtle was crouching.

He picked up the turtle with one hand and placed it in front of his eyes. He looked at it for a while before gently placing it on the ground.

The next moment, his figure disappeared.

Strangely enough, the turtle did not seem to have any intention of leaving either, but rather was leisurely moving around nearby, seemingly waiting for his return.

The disappearance of a thousand people out of thin air did not cause much commotion on the Heavenly Dust Continent.

After all, most of the players these days are still carrying about with mundane activities, and the powerful cultivators move very quickly. Mortals wouldn’t be able to see their actions clearly, it would just seem like they suddenly vanished. They can only suspect that they saw a cultivator just now.

The real chaos will not come until the public testing, as by then the players will descend on a massive scale.

Fortunately, the day of the “Heavenly Dao Collapse” occurred, a hole was broken in the sky, and there seemed to be some problem with the laws of heaven and earth. More and more “anomalies” appeared in the world, and no one could provide a clear explanation, so they simply blamed it on the Heavenly Dao.

After all, any unexplainable anomalies are a problem of the Heavenly Dao!

Miraculously, the locals of this world automatically regard the players as locals themselves. They instinctively believe that the players “mutated” into anomalies on the day of the Heavenly Dao Collapse.

The locals of Heavenly Dust Continent subconsciously do not see them as “Descenders”. It seems there is some force forcing them to directly acknowledge and accept the existence of the players.

Perhaps, it is really the fault of the Heavenly Dao?

Sometimes Lu Xun wonders, what kind of world is this? But he won’t think too much about it for now, and he doesn’t dare to.

Even though the cultivators defined this phenomenon as “Heavenly Dao Collapse”, Lu Xun always stubbornly believed that it is the “All-around Landing of Crazy Players”. Or more simply, “Crazy Landing”.

The internal testing had ended, and the public testing was actually not far off.

Lu Xun was not quite used to the abrupt end of the internal testing.

The appearance of the crazy players will have to wait until the public testing, and that will take some time.

“Ah, life without players kissing my ass is really a little bit out of sorts.” Lu Xun lamented in his heart, feeling like he was a bit addicted to it.

He opened up the forum to see that some of the beta players had started posting. Mostly, they shared their internal testing experiences. Some posts with well-articulated literacy read like well-written novels, the content clearly creatively embellished. But Lu Xun still found it very enjoyable to read.

Some people, in order to attract attention, claimed that they had encountered the Purple Palace, but hadn’t had time to take a screenshot. Their lies came so naturally!

They were just trying to ride the coattails of our popular idol Purple Palace’s popularity!

Lu Xun was initially a bit angry about this rumor, but when he saw the exquisite description of the appearance, as detailed as 400-500 words, Lu Xun found it hard to get angry.

What pleased him was that MO Guanji did not reveal his own game ID, and seemed to have no intention of recording his contact with the Purple Palace on the forum, which satisfied Lu Xun.

While attracting the attention of the players, Lu Xun still wanted to maintain as much mystery as possible. This was good for his plans.

As for Han Bagui… Lu Xun always suspected that he doesn’t browse the forum.

If he didn’t even look at the forum, he definitely wouldn’t post anything.

After casually browsing a few more posts, Lu Xun closed the forum.

Since the internal testing had ended, the purpose of this trip down the mountain had basically been accomplished. Now, being inside Qingling City, there was only one goal left – the instance “Turtle’s Longevity”!

“Turtle’s Longevity” was a trial ground used by the Demon Sect to hone their disciples. Those cultivators below the second stage had the opportunity to enter three times a year.

Murong Yan, for example, had been to “Turtle’s Longevity” several times. Now that her cultivation base was above the second stage, she had lost her qualification to participate in the trial.

According to the rules, Lu Xun and Ji Li both met the conditions, so he greeted Ji Li and asked her to go with him the next day.

As for Little Mute, Lin Chan, there’s not much point in going now. It would be more meaningful if his cultivation of the Qi Consumption Technique reached above the third level.

Earlier, it was said that this trial ground is open to outside people as well. Even those from outside sects can enter, but they have to pay.

Those sects within the Demon Sect like the Demon Sect, the price would be cheaper. For members of the Righteous Sects, they could also enter, but… they have to pay extra!

This is just the usual practice of the Demon Sect.

Therefore, disciples like Xiao Ran who hail from the Luotian Sect would need to pay a price to undergo trials in “Turtle’s Longevity”. If their wallets aren’t thick enough, they really won’t be able to go!

The next day, at sunrise, Lu Xun, wearing a bamboo hat, led Ji Li to the run-down alleyway.

It was rare to have the opportunity to be alone, Ji Li took extra care to dress up, wearing her favourite black robe. She even tightened her belt deliberately to highlight her proud figure more.

Lu Xun noticed all of this and even wondered for a moment whether this damned girl was going through a second growth spurt?

Ji Li followed behind Lu Xun, looking at the alleyway filled with fallen leaves, blinking in curiosity.

At the end of this alleyway was only an old well, and then a dead end. Where does it look like a trial ground?

But for her, it didn’t matter where they were going, as long as she was with Lu Xun.

She walked along the way, her steps were lighter than normal, occasionally tiptoeing or kicking the little stones on the road. Her hands were behind her back, her tied-up hair swinging left and right, making her look coquettish and cute.

As Lu Xun watched, he really wanted to knock her on the head.

We’re here for the trial, not acting like we are on a date!

When they got to the end of the alley, Lu Xun looked at the old well and said to Ji Li, “Jump down.”

“Turtle’s Longevity” was inside the well, and this old well was the passageway. Ji Li was momentarily stunned and asked, “Jump into the well?”

It seemed that this silly girl did not find out about the trial ground related information when she was in the Demon Sect. What on earth was she doing all day?

Lu Xun nodded and said, “That’s right. I’ll jump first, you follow quickly. Don’t waste time.”

With that, he swung his robe, and then, in front of Ji Li’s bewildered face, he jumped in!
