Chapter 275: 275. You all want to conquer me?
Translator: 549690339
I descended from the heavens, riding a crane to the human world.
Donning a white robe, Lu Xun sat atop his paper crane, leisurely soaring through the sky.
His large robe fluttered in the wind, exuding a somewhat celestial vibe.
Just like a banished immortal from another realm!
When the players outside Qingling City recognized the individual on the paper crane, they couldn’t help exclaiming.
“White Emperor!”
“Whoa! It’s the White Emperor!”
“Damn! The missing person has returned!”
Next, many players quickly noticed something different.
“Look at the question mark above the White Emperor’s head!”
As Lu Xun’s level was high, a series of question marks ([???]) appeared when players attempted to view his personal information.
But now, the yellow question marks had turned light blue!
This was the “surprise” he had prepared for the players!
Thanks to his personal power spike, the White Emperor’s alternate avatar had become a Blue Title NPC!
Even though it was the lightest shade of blue, it was still blue title, wasn’t it?
“Blue Title! The White Emperor has turned into a Blue Title!”
“Why isn’t the White Emperor yellow anymore?”
“What’s going on? Can an NPC’s color even change?”
“I guess it can. After all, ‘Heavenly Dust’ isn’t a static game, is it? While we are leveling up, NPCs probably are as well, right?”
“If the White Emperor has become a Blue Title, does it mean he’s become stronger?”
Well then, what’s everybody waiting for? Go interact with him at once!
To most players at this moment, a Blue Title NPC was a tempting treat that everyone wanted a bite of.
The paper crane landed in a forest outside Qingling City, and immediately, players flooded around him.
Some came to try their luck, hoping to build a relationship with the White Emperor.
However, most were simply there to take pictures, screenshot, and record videos.
This was indeed a celebrity-like treatment.
Lu Xun leaped off the paper crane and called it into his hand with a gentle wave. It swiftly shrank and fell into his palm.
“Wow! Is this the Demon Sect’s signature Flying Magical Treasure? I recall the Purple Palace also used this paper crane, didn’t they?”
“Not only them, but the Talisman Emperor Demon also uses a paper crane!”
“What a beautiful Flying Magical Treasure, I want one too!”
“Dream on! I’m a Demon Sect Player and even I don’t know where to get one.”
Lu Xun stored the paper crane back into his storage ring, not planning to sell any of the nearly hundred paper cranes in his ring for now.
He looked around at the players and feigned confusion, “Anomalies?”
Identifying Anomalies with a single glance was a privilege of the Purple Palace, highlighting the wonders of him as the World Protagonist.
The White Emperor’s alias did not possess this ability, so he had to keep up his disguise at all times.
Such attention to detail.
Upon hearing the White Emperor speak, a few older, more loyal players immediately nodded.
Many players are actually quite proud of their Anomaly’s status. After all, Anomalies possess many extraordinary attributes and are generally open about their identity.
Lu Xun laughed, then asked, “Are there any Disciples from my Demon Sect?”
A male player in the crowd raised his hand.
Lu Xun looked at him and asked, “Do you have any Spiritual Wine?”
While speaking, he released a quest.
At the same time, he opened his Skill Bar, showing the skills he could impart.
Upon seeing the available skills, the player instantly accepted the quest, “Yes, yes, I will go get it right now!”
He then quickly headed into the city to buy the wine.
Now, since Lu Xun was about to impart Yellow Level Skills, he obviously couldn’t accept common wine. That would be totally improper.
Major cities like Qingling City sell low-grade Spiritual Wines. Wealthy mortals fancy such wines as they are beneficial to health and elevate their status.
For Cultivation Factions, both Silver Tael and Spirit Stones are equally necessary, so they’re also willing to supply them.
To current players, Spiritual Wines are still affordable, just slightly heartbreaking to part with the money.
However, the White Emperor offers a myriad of skills, a whole seventeen Yellow Level Skills, even two Superior Yellow Level Skills among them!
Seventeen skills, there’s got to be one that suits you!
Other players in the vicinity were also eager, proactively stepping forward to inquire, they really wanted to learn, damn it!
Then they discovered that the White Emperor was just as accommodating as before, without much prejudice.
He only said one sentence: “These skills are not from my Demon Sect, but are just my small collection. If you can bring me spiritual wine, I will certainly teach you.”
Listen! Hear the tone of this big shot!
Superior Yellow Level Skills were merely his little collection!
So, what are we waiting for?
Let’s do this!
A huge wave of players started to flood into Qingling City to buy spiritual wine.
The interesting part was, the biggest place selling spiritual wine in Qingling City was the Demon Sect’s local stronghold, Lai Fu Restaurant.
The silly players were buying the spiritual wine here and Lu Xun would restock it back at the restaurant to sell again, the cycle was simply too magnificent!
I don’t produce the wine, I’m merely the spiritual wine carrier.
Soon, the players who had purchased the spiritual wine started returning.
After offering up the spiritual wine, they could choose a skill to learn.
If they chose to learn an Inferior Yellow Level skill, they could learn two of them.
Unlike before, the amount of Experience Points required for learning a skill also increased.
Lu Xun just had to stand here and the steady stream of Experience Points would keep flooding his panel.
In fact, there were quite a few methods for current players to learn skills.
For example, being taught by their Sects, or purchasing from outside.
But the skills imparted by Sects were standard, everyone learning the same thing was pretty mundane.
However, buying from outside was too expensive, not something an average player could afford.
In comparison, being able to learn a skill for the price of a jar of spiritual wine was a massive benefit.
Many players were even speculating, could the White Emperor be a randomly appearing skill mentor designed by “Heavenly Dust”?
Many games have similar settings, where some NPCs randomly show up somewhere and provide numerous benefits to players. Whether you could encounter them was purely based on luck.
Moreover, as per the current situation, it seemed like the White Emperor might be a growing NPC?
Perhaps not, he might be masquerading as an NPC.
It’s quite normal for masters.
Like those monks who were skilled in martial arts and loved to sweep the floor, we all get it.
We recognize this pattern.
Therefore, in the eyes of many players, it was more probable that the White Emperor was a disguised master!
Furthermore, considering all the actions of the White Emperor, many players felt they had already seen the truth!
He initially taught low-level skills, now he’s teaching Yellow Level skills, he has always been teaching the most suitable skills for us!
If he’s not a benefit-gifting skill mentor, then what is he?
Maybe when we reach levels thirty or forty, he will begin to teach Blue Level skills?
After all, ever since the White Emperor appeared, he’s given off an inscrutable vibe!
With such analysis, it’s practically verified!
In an instant, the enthusiasm of the surrounding players started to increase dramatically.
A player even emptied his pockets, surprisingly buying two jars of spiritual wine, and gifted them to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun:
This male player, it seems he wants to increase my Favorability.
He’s planning to win me over!
Although in the eyes of the big shots, spiritual wine really isn’t worth much, but many players all had the same thought. Even Lu Xun in his past life had this idea, that is:
“What people of importance care about the most is not the value of the item, but your attitude!”
This is the case in many novels and films.
However, that’s not the case for Lu Xun.
“You want to increase my Favorability? That comes at a separate price.”
“And it’s a high one.”
In an afternoon, Lu Xun harvested over half a million Experience Points.
Meanwhile, a post on the forum quickly gained popularity.
The title of the post was:
“To all the foolhardy who said the White Emperor is outdated, come in and be beaten up!”
