“Does anyone know how to enhance equipment?”
“5000 RMB for a reputation quest guide!!!”
“Ugh, this damn game updates a feature without any hints. How are we supposed to play? I’m so done.”
“Haha, the person above can quit the game. No one’s forcing you to play.”
“By the way, do you guys feel something’s off about yourselves?”
“I suddenly got hard in reality.”
“Bro, that ‘hard’ of yours, is it legit?”
“Laughing, it’s obviously not legit.”
“I’m serious, no joke. I stabbed myself with a fruit knife and only broke the skin.”
“Case closed. This Divine Strategy player has gone crazy playing the game, thinking they’re the same as in the game?”
“Wow, I thought I was the only one. I’m a Divine Strategy player too. Last night, some idiot drunk driver on a motorcycle had a close encounter with me on the road, almost knocked my kidney out. I called 120. At the hospital, guess what the ER doctor said?”
“Prepare for the aftermath?”
“Bullshit, he said I was faking injury to extort money.”
“So, were you injured or not?”
“I was, but then again maybe not.”
“NND, riddle-speakers all die already.”
“Ahem, I did feel some pain, but the doctor absolutely couldn’t find any injury on me.”
“Speaking of which, I’ve also noticed something off about myself. My strength has inexplicably increased several times compared to before. Oh, I’m a Divine Fist player.”
“+”
“As a Heavenly Fragrance player, I can say my injuries heal very fast. It’s not an illusion, it really heals fast.”
“Heavenly Fragrance little sister above, look at me, CP DD?”
“What’s going on? Everyone has changes except me?”
“Is it possible that your level is too low? Only level 18. Even a dog playing is stronger than you.”
“My low level bothers you? None of your damn business.”
Immortal Realm Scholar: “Equipment enhancement guide is complete. DM with your price.”
“Holy crap, Immortal Realm Scholar?”
“The feature just came out and there’s already a guide? Ohhhh, Baixiaosheng is amazing!!!”
“First there was Chen Ten-Thousand, now Baixiaosheng. They’re all a bunch of unscrupulous profiteers making dirty money.”
“Equipment enhancement is good, but everyone, do you have equipment to enhance?”
“Damn, that’s a real heart stabber.”
“Wahhh, I’ve been unarmored at level 29 all this time. Did I say anything?”
“A new dungeon has refreshed. Looking for a few high DPS to compete for first clear.”
“Heh, first clear? Don’t even think about it. It’ll probably be Chen Ten-Thousand’s team again.”
“Exactly, they’ve already monopolized two dungeon first clears. What do you have to compete with them?”
Tianxin Mountain.
Chen Xiaoyan finished distributing the sect daily quests and returned to the courtyard. Seeing Chong Chong’s surprised expression, she found it very amusing.
“Are you surprised to see me back so soon?” Chen Xiaoyan lightly elbowed her and teased with a smile.
Chong Chong sat cross-legged on the wooden bed. Having just logged in, she was about to do her daily cultivation quest when she saw Chen Xiaoyan return. She was very puzzled.
‘How come she’s back so fast today?’
Faced with Chen Xiaoyan’s teasing, she rolled her eyes and said, “Hmph, were you chased back by Shen Qingqing? Otherwise you’d be back so fast? No one would believe that.”
Chen Xiaoyan sat beside her and stretched.
“Shen Elder Sister isn’t home.”
“Oh.”
“You dead girl, what kind of tone is that? I’m serious.”
“I didn’t say it was fake.”
After a moment of silence, Chen Xiaoyan lost the desire to bicker with her.
The days when Shen Qingqing is not at Tianxin Pavilion are very rare. Could something have happened to her?
But recalling her unfathomable strength, Chen Xiaoyan’s worries quickly dissipated.
‘Forget it, forget it. Why should I bother so much about that Da Luo’s whereabouts? I’d better prepare for the new dungeon raid.’
“Xianyun, Yumeng-chan.”
The two people in the courtyard, upon hearing Chen Xiaoyan’s call, quickly ran inside.
“Xiaoyan-jie, what’s up?”
“Check if there are new sect daily quests. If not, do the daily cultivation. When the dungeon opens, barring any surprises, we’ll go fight the new dungeon in the afternoon.”
Chen Xiaoyan said as she pulled up the task list and assigned today’s sect quests to them.
“Yeah!” A Curtain of Dreams was extremely happy. Today was another day to improve strength.
After distributing the sect quests, Chen Xiaoyan entered the private chat interface, planning to discuss the new dungeon raid with Mu Qingxue and Liu Yue.
But she found that aside from Mu Qingxue, Liu Yue wasn’t online at all?
What’s up with Xiaoyue?
Doesn’t she know the dungeon refreshed today?
She didn’t think much of it. Maybe she had real-life matters to handle. Anyway, the dungeon hadn’t opened yet, so there was no rush.
Then, Chen Xiaoyan sat cross-legged with Chong Chong on the wooden bed to do the daily cultivation quests.
Because of the Great Disciple title’s buff, her daily cultivation quest rewards were doubled, meaning twenty Lingqi per day, and six hundred per month. The yield was quite good.
Mu Qingxue: “Yan Bao, check the world channel.”
Chen Xiaoyan, who was cultivating Xiangyi Art, suddenly received a private message from Mu Qingxue, forcing her to pause the quest progress.
She entered the private chat interface and looked.
‘Let me look at the world channel?’
With doubt, Chen Xiaoyan opened the world channel and immediately saw someone spamming. The spam was “Baixiaosheng yyds.”
Baixiaosheng, she had some impression of this person. He seemed to be a streamer. When Chong Chong returned before, his fans came to support.
But most of his fans came from real life. There shouldn’t be many Xianxia players. Why would the world channel praise him so much?
She scrolled up a bit and then understood what was going on.
She exited the world channel and sent a message to Mu Qingxue saying she understood.
Then, she sent a friend request to Baixiaosheng.
Baixiaosheng, his game ID was also Baixiaosheng, a Zhenwu player.
The other side agreed very quickly. After adding as friend, he hurriedly sent a message to ask.
Baixiaosheng: “Da Luo Xiaoyan, did you add me for the equipment enhancement guide?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Yes, what’s the price?”
Baixiaosheng: “No money, it’s free.”
Free?
Chen Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes, went back to the world channel, and pulled up the message he had posted. It did say to DM with a price.
‘Could this guy have some other motive?’
Regardless of whether he had a purpose, free things are the hardest to get.
Chen Xiaoyan: “I don’t like freeloading. You’d better name a price.”
Baixiaosheng: “Haha, it seems I can’t trick you, Da Luo. I’ll be direct. I want you to carry me through the dungeon.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “The new dungeon?”
Baixiaosheng: “Yeah, I’m not after the first clear. I’m just a newbie asking for a carry.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Just that?”
Baixiaosheng: “Yes, is that convenient for you?”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Convenient. Are you alone?”
Baixiaosheng: “Yes.”
Chen Xiaoyan: “Okay, I’ll notify you then.”
Baixiaosheng: “Thank you, Da Luo.”
‘Just carrying through a dungeon. I do this often, no big deal.’
Besides, just carrying through one dungeon in exchange for the guide. This deal was indeed worth it.
Meanwhile, Baixiaosheng, far away on Wudang Mountain, was in a very good mood seeing that Chen Xiaoyan had agreed to his request.
He sent the guide over, then immediately logged off to go practice art and drawing.
