I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 585 - 74: Thread of Fate, the Glorious Beginning of Pure Love Manor
Ning Zheng spent the entire night embroidering.
He found embroidery to be truly entertaining, and suddenly, he somewhat understood the joy that the Hairpin Ladies experienced.
Furthermore, with each life he embroidered, there was an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, as if he were weaving and transforming life.
To be able to dictate the destiny of this life, to evolve its species!
The Human God, this concept, is incredibly strong.
It's no wonder they are considered the source of the Human Race in history.
However, now that he looks at it, the cultivation technique of the Human God probably also came with "toxin."
The Human God attacked the bodies of other cultivators, gradually targeting the meridians, modifying them step by step, controlling, turning the enemy into a puppet.
This has a similar effect to Ning Zheng's toxin ability!
At the time, the reason the Human God didn't use this toxin... was because it was a blood and flesh toxin, usable only on physical bodies.
Back then, Ning Zheng was purely a Dharma Aspect, without a physical form.
So the Human God must have been dumbfounded: his toxin... couldn't be used!
Half of his strength was probably reliant on the blood and flesh toxin, and since he couldn't change your meridians, he lost miserably.
He was completely countered by Ning Zheng.
Otherwise, whoever fought a prolonged battle with him would slowly turn into a puppet, having their meridians modified by him.
"If it were me, and suddenly my Soul Bubble toxin couldn't be used... I would be very perplexed too."
Ning Zheng could empathize.
"However, two of my three Divine Techniques are Yin attribute... only one is Yang attribute."
"In other words, with Yin prevailing over Yang, is the strength of the Human God's spiritual root weaker than that of my Shadow Crocodile?"
Shadow Crocodile ＞ Yang Human God.
Ning Zheng was somewhat puzzled.
What on earth is the origin of the Shadow Crocodile?
Ning Zheng pondered for a while but couldn't find a clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it and continued to practice his needlework.
...
The night passed without a word.
The next morning.
Feeling refreshed and invincible, Ning Zheng arrived at Sword Casting Manor, patrolling various professional areas in the plaza.
The conditions in each area were favorable.
He basically didn't need to manage them anymore; they were now a group of mature veteran players, fully automated brick movers.
They resembled what the little blacksmith described.
A web-based idle game called "Sword Casting Manor!"
He just needed to leave it on idle.
And it's the kind of pay-to-win idle browser game at VIP9 level, ranking up every few days through idling, exploding with Divine Artifacts, materials, and high-tier NPCs...
The screen lit up with golden brilliance.
It was all about continuous positive feedback.
The entire sect probably didn't even need attention; Ning Zheng had no doubts they would eventually rule the entire Sea Race.
"Idling in browser games, so mindless."
Ning Zheng considered them a mature bunch of chives, allowing him to return to embroidery, with its delightful needlework.
However, he needed to announce a new race—the Soul System Pseudo-human, Possessing Embers!
Let the pseudo-humans come even more fiercely.
The possession by the Meiling Fish?
It's just the beginning.
Accelerating the embers possession mechanism was crucial.
Ning Zheng took a few more laps, and as expected, Jiucai Rong came running over excitedly: "Sir, we have another enormous new breakthrough, an epic-level advancement!"
Ning Zheng was taken aback.
Hadn't he just been secluded cultivating his Immortal Spirit Root for only two days?
"What new breakthrough?" Ning Zheng asked.
Jiucai Rong said, "Through love, we've developed a Two-Phase Realm beautiful female cultivator, from the Water Silk Race, and she's addicted to love."
"Isn't this too fast?" Ning Zheng was surprised, furrowing his brows: "Don't be too impatient, keeping control too obvious might get us discovered, exposing the pseudo-humans and leading to extermination."
Jiucai Rong responded, "Sir, rest assured, this Two-Phase Realm cultivator comes from a clean background. Even if she disappears silently, no one will really care."
Ning Zheng narrowed his eyes: "There's no such thing as a loose Sea Race cultivator; they all come with family units, acting as a family group."
Jiucai Rong chuckled: "Wasn't there a Two-Phase Realm Major Sect attacked before, the one from the Sponge Race, and survivors came to our city."
After his explanation, Ning Zheng got a general understanding.
A Sea Race female cultivator, hearing about the extreme aversion to pseudo-humans here... she hated pseudo-humans equally.
Her parents and family were all subjected to possession.
So she came here to seek refuge, looking for allies to resist the pseudo-humans together.
However...
"She's too naive, falling right into the trap; we are the true pseudo-humans!" He showed a wicked smile.
In reality, the Food God's charm divine power was applied quite crudely.
Fortunately, the target was a female cultivator; if it were a male cultivator... enticing him, making him fall in love with the same gender might really be difficult.
Even though there seemed to be a sense of bullying a woman with a broken family and deceiving her feelings like a scoundrel.
"What's her character like?"
Ning Zheng gave it some thought, "What's the general situation? What does the divine technique do?"
Jiucai Rong scratched his head:
"Actually, she's quite kind and pure, otherwise wouldn't have been fooled by that rascal of a Food God, and her divine technique is involved in making garments, condensing magical robes in combat... can even become a magic robe herself... assisting some powerful cultivators."
"They're a war robe race, similar to the Meiling Fish, belonging to the type that parasitizes powerhouses."
"They have an inheritance, which aligns well with our recent move into the luxury clothing market."
"However, our manor has been erupting with a huge dispute these past two days over the matter of possession. There are two factions, arguing fiercely."
Logging in as scummy NPCs, they don't mind.
But deceiving good-hearted NPCs whose families are ruined feels a bit unethical to them.
A portion of the blacksmiths, though reckless, still hold onto their conscience.
That cute and innocent girl, with her charisma, has made many people develop a liking for her while watching the Food God scam her.
Ning Zheng still couldn't quite understand, "Since when did you start having a conscience?"
Jiucai Rong replied awkwardly, "We just act as we please, sometimes as villains if we wish, and sometimes as great heroes, feeling pity toward others..."
"I think you just want her body. If it were an ugly guy with a ruined family, would you still feel the same?" Ning Zheng clearly saw through their thoughts.
Ning Zheng understood.
Their sympathy is not the conventional kind.
They are inherently out of place in this world.
Their sympathy is a higher-dimensional, more arrogant kind of sympathy.
Like how humans feel sorry for kittens and puppies, pity lower animals, and help stray cats with that kind of sympathy.
Ning Zheng immediately checked the forum.
[Analysis of the Pretty Softie NPC]
A point of argument presented reasons against possession.
Firstly, out of sympathy, playing the emotion card.
Secondly, the other party has a lifestyle profession, an auxiliary war robe, and taking possession wouldn't be of any use at all!
This type of profession relies mainly on the clothing inheritance in their minds to make clothing, sew magical robes, magic boots...
If you possess them, you'd just have amnesia, a spiritual root but no skill, totally useless. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Considering the overall situation.
Instead of "logging in" as the character, this batch of players voted to "enslave" the character.
Furthermore.
The other party retains the legacy memory after their sect was destroyed, and their family's inheritance, brand, sales channels... connections, can all help blacksmiths open up a market for magical robes.
They decided to let the other party join Embroideress Peak.
Ning Zheng's eyelid twitched.
Isn't this even more unethical?
Just kill them and be done with it.
Tricking someone into becoming a second "pseudo-human all-automatic factory" and making them work for you is a bit too much.
"We'll use love brain to control them..."
Jiucai Rong said, "But this love shouldn't lead to frequent encounters... because frequent encounters will still have side effects, the affection will grow stronger, and there will be a desire to devour the other person."
"So," Ning Zheng said.
"Well, so, the person she loves should maintain a certain distance to preserve the beauty of distance," Jiucai Rong said, "in this way, we can keep a balance, using love to control her, but not making her love madly..."
"Therefore, we're planning to tie her fate line with the Manor Master, making her fall in love with the Manor Master."
Jiucai Rong's explosive words startled Ning Zheng into silence.
???
Are you guys insane?
"Let her have a crush on the Manor Master, a dreamy and ambiguous youthful crush is the most precious... working madly for our manor... and maintaining loyalty," Jiucai Rong said.
After all, we cannot let her fall in love with any player... this could lead to trouble, after all, what's the typical temperament of players?
For those who know, they know.
We can only use the Marriage Tribulation to connect her fate line with the manor's NPC.
The Manor Master's non-appearance is most suitable.
Furthermore, this is just the beginning.
In the future, for this kind of NPC, tying them down with a crush on the Manor Master is perfect, isn't it?
This was something Night Mad Cultivator posted about.
Because how smart is Night Mad Cultivator?
He instantly recalled the planner's hints.
There was already a foreshadowing with the Manor Master before:
Human God: [What did you use to defeat me?]
Manor Master: [With love and bonds.]
Now!
The Manor Master's love and bonds have arrived!
Jiucai Rong was ecstatic, thrilled at understanding the planner's profound meaning.
And behind him, a group of little blacksmiths hiding behind door cracks and tunnels, peering out, also beamed with smugness.
"We've already got it."
"Our Pure Love Manor is like this!"
"Even if there are NPC Great Powers with lovers in the future, they must also experience being the Manor Master's Tauren, able to embody... the supreme pure love akin to the tender attachment of returning to a mother's embrace."
"The Manor Master will be the greatest Tauren God in human history."
They felt at that moment, the blossoming of three flowers, realizing who they truly are.
—This is the main storyline we've always adhered to!
Fate line, Pure Love Manor, activate!
My heart and my actions are as clear as a bright mirror, all I do is for pure love.
"..."
Is it really okay for them to mess with the fate line like this?
Ning Zheng looked at them and suddenly felt shrouded by immense fear, the smiling expressions at that moment were eerily terrifying, as if the greatest catastrophe in the world was descending upon this world for the first time.
