There's Something Wrong With This Account-Chapter 356 - : 356, [The Unsearchable Person in the Game]

Chapter 356: 356, [The Unsearchable Person in the Game]

In the bamboo grove behind the Demon Sect’s mountain.

Lu Xun finally heard from his master about that man, the man whom he should address as his martial uncle according to seniority.

Of course, if the man was still alive, perhaps… he might prefer to be called martial elder brother?

After all, it was uncertain who among the master and this fraternal twin was the first to emerge from their mother’s womb, not even they themselves knew.

But they seemed to care a lot about this detail.

Lu Xun glanced at his master and then at the “Partridge Sky” floating in the air, and asked, “So, this is my martial… martial uncle’s sword?”

The master nodded, appearing satisfied with Lu Xun’s address of him as a martial uncle.

However, after nodding, he added, “Indeed, it is his sword, but he actually didn’t know how to wield a sword.”

Lu Xun chewed over these words, finding them rather strange.

What did he mean by ‘it’s his sword, but he doesn’t know how to wield a sword’?

Could it be that this once incredibly powerful “Partridge Sky” was merely an ornament?

After all, many worldly sons of nobility would carry longswords as decorations, believing it gave them an air of elegance and suaveness.

But could they practice martial arts?

Definitely not.

This phenomenon was most prevalent in West State, renowned for its flourishing Sword Dao. Many people held longswords just for the sake of appearance.

But to use a Purple Martial sword as an ornament, especially when it could be considered on par with a Divine Sword, wouldn’t that be too exaggerated?

The master gave Lu Xun a glance and said calmly, “It’s not what you think, he’s just somewhat foolish in many respects.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun roughly understood.

Who could comprehend what the master meant when he said ‘didn’t know how to wield a sword’?

For example, Lu Xun at present, in his master’s eyes, could he be considered a swordsman?

It should be noted that even Elder Gui’s perfect mastery of the Sword Drawing Technique and Sting, in the master’s words, were only deemed satisfactory.

He had become smarter now, knowing that he needed to analyze the meaning behind an expert’s words.

Besides, hidden within “Partridge Sky” was a Sword Technique – the Sword of the Absolute World Hegemon: the Broken Sword Technique!

If that man didn’t know the first thing about swords, how could that be possible?

That simply made no sense.

As to whether his perceptions were correct, he was uncertain, but that was his belief nonetheless.

Regarding this legendary junior brother, the master clearly didn’t want to talk more.

After finishing this conversation, he said, “I’m a bit fatigued, shouldn’t gather here and interrupt Xiao Man’s cultivation, you should all head back.”

With that, he walked alone towards the small study on the mountaintop.

Upon reaching the peak, he looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, seemingly lost in thought.

…

…

After the master had left, Lu Xun passed the green pearl to the Sword Sheath.

The black cord on the Sword sheath, as if it were hands, took the green pearl and with a pop, stowed it away.

“Feeling energized?” Lu Xun asked Lin Chan.

Lin Chan nodded, indicating that some of her energy had been restored and that she could walk back to the mountain on her own.

Ji Li, looking at this scene from the side, wished that one day Lu Xun would ask her the same question.

If it was her, she would definitely say she was out of energy.

Lin Chan stood up, and with a wave of her small hand, the “Partridge Sky” hovering in the air returned to her hand.

She looked down at the drastically altered Broken Sword, a bright smile spread across her face. After bowing in thanks to Lu Xun, she said in her heart, “Thank you, master.”

Lu Xun, with a smile, tousled her hair and said, “Go back and recuperate, after your spiritual power has recovered, you can spar with Ji Li, get used to the changes of the ‘Partridge Sky’.”

Lin Chan obediently nodded, everyone saluted their second senior sister, then left the bamboo grove.

On the way back, Lu Xun asked his third senior brother, Zhuge Lai Fu, “Third senior brother, do you know anything about our martial uncle?”

He was genuinely curious.

Mao Nanbei, perched on his shoulder, gently raised a paw, and lightly tapped Lu Xun’s shoulder, meowing a few times in protest.

“Why don’t you ask me?” That seemed to be what she meant.

“Alright, alright. Fourth senior sister, do you know anything?” Lu Xun asked with a smile.

Mao Nanbei shook her head, then pointed at the third senior brother, implying that she didn’t know, suggesting that he should speak.

Lu Xun: “…”

Turns out you just wanted to draw attention and assert your status as a senior sister.

Third senior brother Zhuge Lai Fu chuckled warmly, his eyes nearly disappearing along with his smile.

He began, “Little Junior Brother, our mentor rarely mentions our uncle. My second senior sister joined a bit earlier than me, but I reckon she doesn’t know much either. My guess is that our eldest brother might know something, but even he has told me that he has never met our uncle.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun nodded and did not press further.

Given our mentor’s attitude and the current information, it’s highly possible that this person might not exist in the mortal world anymore, right?

To put it precisely, since the “Partridge Sky” was left by our mentor on Hidden Mountain, it must already be considered a relic, right?

By the time they reached the Small Study in the back mountain, the mentor had already gone inside the study room.

Lu Xun let Lin Chan go back to her room to rest, while he returned to his bedroom.

Since he had nothing better to do, why not use up those Random Special Attribute Points?

After sitting on the bed, Lu Xun opened his character panel.

He had already drawn Special Attributes Points too many times, and no longer felt the initial tension and excitement. He’d become somewhat accustomed to it, even numb.

Initially, he would even wash his face and hands before drawing. Now, not picking his nose before drawing could already be considered showing respect.

“Damn game, when will you allow me to experience the feeling of drawing ‘Swordsmanship Aptitude’!” Lu Xun shouted in his heart.

He clicked on draw directly, and the Big Roulette started spinning in front of him. As always, Lu Xun was stable and couldn’t draw ‘Swordsmanship Aptitude’.

“Huh, this Special Attribute Point is quite interesting.” Lu Xun looked at the final result and commented internally.

“Detection +1”.

Some people regarded this special attribute as a treasure, while others felt it was basically useless.

Every gamer has the ability to detect basic information, for example, if Lu Xun checked his black robe, it would show basic information- ‘A luxurious item with exquisite workmanship, but without any defensive attributes’.

As everybody knows, luxury items are prone to damage.

And “Detection +1” is just a feature that enhances the authority to detect basic information.

Under the same level conditions, others might detect ‘???’, but you could detect a small amount of basic information.

There is no specific quantifier for the amplification, but sometimes it can be very useful and give people unexpected surprises.

Soon after closing the character panel, Lu Xun took out the green pearl from his sword sheath and detected it.

Nothing was detected.

He nodded in understanding and comforted himself by thinking, “This actually indirectly proves how high-end this thing is.”

After putting the green pearl back, Lu Xun thought for a moment, and then opened his skill bar.

“Elder Gui said that he will teach me the second move – ‘Sting’, ten days from now. Tomorrow is the tenth day,” Lu Xun thought.

“Logically, before teaching something new, he will surely ask me and Little Chan to demonstrate the ‘Sword Drawing Technique’ practice results.” He was thinking to himself.

In order to maintain the dignity of his role as the mentor, he decisively spent some Experience Points to upgrade ‘Sword Drawing Technique’ by one level, raising it to Level 3.

“So Little Chan sees how powerful her master is!” an undeniably shameless cheater thought to himself.

…

…

Today, the dinner at the back mountain was quite lavish.

Somewhere, the senior most geriatric elder was complaining about his age but hated acknowledging it, so he refused to celebrate his birthdays.

Indirectly, this led to a tradition where no one celebrated their birthdays in the back mountain.

Of course, it could also be due to the trouble and fear of suffering.

After all, celebrating birthday usually meant eating well, and preparing a few extra dishes.

Before Lu Xun arrived, the third senior brother was in charge of cooking in the back mountain…

Why should one suffer on their birthday!

No more!

Since Lu Xun arrived, everyone still didn’t follow this custom, but he remembered everyone’s birthday (except the mentor’s because he never disclosed it) and then quietly cooked a few more dishes.

As he looked at Lin Chan sitting next to him, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat sentimental.

Even on Earth, she’d already be considered an adult.

Lu Xun, who had just received 1 point of ‘Detection’, detected the basic information of everyone on the back mountain one by one.

Lin Chan and Ji Li were the ones he could detect some information from, like Character Level, age, and so on. The third senior brother and second senior sister were all question marks.

As for the mentor…

Lu Xun bowed his head and shoveled a big mouthful of rice into his mouth to conceal his astonishment.

Because when he was detecting the mentor, not even an information box popped up!

Which meant…

—Cannot be detected!
