There's Something Wrong With This Account-Chapter 404 - : 404, [Three people are walking, I am the teacher]

Chapter 404: 404, [Three people are walking, I am the teacher]

This restless night passed just like that.

As the sunlight shone brightly again, it seemed as if nothing had happened. The cold and eerie feeling from the night before had completely dissipated. The sun was now hanging high in the sky, flaunting its radiance freely.

Lu Xun and Ye Sui’an stood on the west city wall of Frost Feather City, overlooking this deserted city.

“Elder Lu.” Ye Sui’an called out to Lu Xun.

“Hmm? What is it?” A somewhat distracted Lu Xun turned to ask.

Ye Sui’an noticed that ever since last night, Elder Lu had been frequently lost in thought, but he couldn’t figure out what he was thinking about.

However, it seemed that Elder Lu was in rather high spirits?

Looking at Lu Xun, he asked, “Elder Lu, will there be any Ghosts appearing tonight?”

Lu Xun nodded and said, “If everything is as expected, then yes.”

Hearing this, Ye Sui’an’s face grew serious and he said, “Elder Lu, I always feel there’s something strange about this whole situation.”

Lu Xun slightly nodded in agreement, he too had the same feeling.

Because he ran into Lu Yu last night, he had been preoccupied with thoughts of him, not giving too much thought to other things.

But actually, the appearance of two Ghost Kings in one night was highly irregular.

Furthermore, it was even more peculiar that there would be more Ghost Kings tonight!

What was going on, were they mass-producing them or something? Were they being made on some production line beneath Frost Feather City?

Normally, it would not be unusual for Ghost Qi and Yin Qi to emerge when death occurs.

But most of this Qi would vanish clean, it wouldn’t usually coalesce into Ghosts.

Frost Feather City had seen many deaths, including many Cultivators, but there shouldn’t have been such an exaggerated number of Ghosts.

Gauging from the quantity and levels of these Ghosts, there were definitely some unexplained anomalies.

Lu Xun speculated that the Foreign Race might be behind this.

Remember Yin Tian, whom Lu Xun occasionally took out to “whip the corpse”? He was from the Yinling Clan, a part of the Foreign Race.

His Clan was especially knowledgeable about Yin Qi and Ghost Qi.

“There’s a Foreign Race Altar hidden somewhere outside Frost Feather City. Maybe the strange occurrences here are intentionally caused by the Foreign Race.”

“The Ghosts are just the guardians of the altar?”

“No, maybe they’re just to divert attention?”

Whether his speculations were correct didn’t matter now.

In any case, the mission system would provide hints, and they just needed to follow them after taking the mission.

As for the altar outside the city, he was determined to dismantle it.

How could he resist taking a bite of the meat right in front of his mouth?

But right now, he had some other things to handle.

Lu Xun glanced at Ye Sui’an and said, “I’m going to handle some matters.”

“Ah? Okay.” Ye Sui’an was taken aback.

The next moment, Lu Xun had disappeared from the spot.

…

…

Outside Frost Feather City, more than a hundred players had gathered. It was quite lively.

Although they had to wait until night to start hunting ghosts, these players always found a way to entertain themselves.

Yes, right now, some of them were racing with their Flying Swords in the sky, like some kind of flying car, and they even had a “Prop Mode” that allowed them to retrieve watermelons and pumpkins from their storage rings to throw at their opponents.

Those players still on the ground were even messier.

Some were humming tunes, some were having a picnic, some were arm wrestling, some were trying to figure out how to put their hair into buns, and some were even PK-ing (Player Killing)…

Among them, there were especially a lot of players involved in PK-ing!

There were a good number of female players here, which made some male players eager to show off their manliness, often breaking into fights at the drop of a hat.

They would really end up rolling around on the ground while fighting.

And so, there were quite a few situations akin to wrestling matches, with men grappling each other.

Sometimes, men could be surprisingly simple.

Just like students who would jump up and pretend to shoot a basketball while walking down the street, thinking they looked cool doing it…

Xiao Long Bao and Lu Xiaoyu, having nothing else to do, also began a PK-ing duel.

“Little Fish, open your mouth and have a taste of my sword!” Xiao Long Bao yelled in her girly voice, thrusting her sword forward.

Lu Xiaoyu wasn’t much of a talker. Without a word, she raised her sword to block.

She twitched her Longsword slightly, creating a flower of Sword Qi. Then, with an upward flick, she managed to parry Xiao Long Bao’s sword aside.

Xiao Long Bao remained calm. As her sword got parried away, she swiftly did a circle on Lu Xiaoyu’s sword and launched a “Flying Sword Magic” attack, stabbing straight forward.

Lu Xiaoyu formed a sword technique with her hand. Her left hand radiated a blue light, and an obscure glowing sword symbol appeared in her palm. Like a small shield, it directly blocked the flying longsword.

“Ping–”

The flying sword was shot back.

Xiao Long Bao jumped up, caught the longsword, and then swung out several strains of Sword Qi.

Lu Xiaoyu was slightly surprised because these Sword Qi suddenly turned in the air and attacked her at different angles.

“How is she doing this? Did she learn a new Skill?” Lu Xiaoyu wondered.

Actually, there was no skill involved, she merely employed some practical tricks.

Xiao Long Bao had only learned this following an instructional video on the forum.

The case analysis in the tutorial video even included a clip of Lu Xun’s previous performance.

Indeed, every time Lu Xun made a move, it was always filmed if there were players around.

Once filmed, as soon as it was posted on the forum, it would undoubtedly go viral.

Under these circumstances, many posts would specifically analyze various techniques used by Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was aware of this; he often browsed the forum. He did not care, these were just small tricks anyway. What’s more, it helped to increase his influence.

As soon as professional gamers get used to “Heavenly Dust”, they’ll quickly grasp these little tricks and even produce their own instructional videos to enhance their reputation.

In fact, many of Lu Xun’s dazzling moves were his own inventions, and some were learned from various sources in his past life.

Normally, videos with such educational content didn’t attract much attention from regular players.

Female gamers were more likely to ignore these videos. freёnovelkiss.com

They just wanted to have fun while playing the game, not to study.

However, the man being analyzed in the video was extraordinarily handsome…

“I! Love! Learning!” a slogan comes out of the many female gamers.

Xiao Long Bao was not such a sucker for good looks, but she was willing to learn because watching the video was quite enjoyable and not boring at all.

Unconsciously, she watched it several times.

Accidentally, she learned it!

After learning it, she really felt like she got stronger!

“So, using this kind of trick to wield Sword Qi allows the Sword Qi to actually curve!” Xiao Long Bao was startled as she learned.

Purple Palace rocks!

Lu Xiaoyu, facing these Sword Qi, was momentarily caught off guard.

“Hahaha! Little Lu, I’m amazing, right?”

“Do you want to learn? If you do, beg me!”

“I don’t ask for much, just let me kiss you once.”

Lu Xiaoyu’s face changed slightly, she vowed never to learn.

Because she knew that what Xiao Long Bao meant by “kiss” was a euphemism for something more graphic.

At this moment, she was in a bit of a bind and looked like she was about to lose.

Just then, her sword suddenly went out of control.

The sword suddenly slashed forward, and the Sword Qi also turned in the air, colliding with Xiao Long Bao’s Sword Qi.

“What’s going on?” Lu Xiaoyu was a little puzzled.

Soon, a figure in a black robe appeared in front of her.

The handsome man who could be described by any beautiful words in the dictionary smiled and explained, “I got a little itchy.”

With the presence of Lu Xun, attention was immediately drawn, and all eyes landed on him.

A crowd of more than a hundred people gathered, trapping both Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Long Bao in the middle.

Lu Xun didn’t seem to mind, and he wasn’t a bit uncomfortable.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Long Bao and said, “When you wielded the Sword Qi just now, if you had held your sword a little outward with your right hand, and your motion was a little bit smaller, you could have achieved a better effect.”

“Ah? Then, let me try it.” Xiao Long Bao excitedly began to try immediately.

As she waved her longsword, the Sword Qi twisted in the air, scaring the players close by to retreat, almost getting hurt by the Sword Qi.

Lu Xiaoyu stood aside and watched. She observed Xiao Long Bao and then glanced at the back of the man in the black robe.

“Is it a matter of the angle of the grip and the arc of the sword swing?” She thought and tried it herself.

The Sword Qi did turn but she could not control the direction at all.

“You are very smart and have great Enlightenment, but you haven’t found the trick.” A gentle and low voice sounded in her ear.

Lu Xiaoyu raised her head. She found the man in the black robe had turned around and was looking at her.

He blinked with a warm smile and said to her:

“If you want to learn, I can teach you.”
