Chapter 101: Amazing Game

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as Liu Yuan went downstairs, he saw Cui Ting walking in with a tall and strong young man.

At first, he was a little curious as to why Cui Ting would go out so early in the morning. He was also wondering if he had become the lady boss’s freelancer, who specialized in soliciting business for her. Then, he recognized the identity of the young man.

Although there were some differences with the 3D modeling in the game, such as the details of the clothes, it could still be seen that this young man was the main character in the original main plot of the City of Ten Thousand Swords.

The mortal swordsman – Geng Qi.

The other main character was naturally the personal disciple of the current Sword Pavilion Master – Mo Ying.

The players would be participating in the Singing Sword segment of the event competition. At this time, the players had just come out of the novice village. Most of them were already in the Foundation Establishment stage or even close to the Core Formation stage, so their standards were about the same.

But in fact, according to his original identity, he should still be recovering his cultivation but had not returned to the sect. After the Sword Singing ended, the players were noticed by those forces, and then the relevant personnel of the ‘sect’ sent people to find them.

As such, the players ‘returned to the sect’ and began the quest line within the sect. Anyway, in the game, it was impossible to let you be idle. Of course… The players could also activate a life profession. Usually, when she cleared the daily quests and had time to go through the main storyline, she would usually do the life profession quest line.

After all, as a phenomenal online game, Shangyang’s completion rate was so high that it was hard to imagine. Players could almost anything, and play any role in the game.

Players could even play the game as an action-adventure, business, puzzle-solving, parkour, or music game.

Others called the game ‘A game beyond the 21st century’.

But at least for now, Liu Yuan felt that this game was really not simple.

He turned his gaze to Cui Ting and Geng Qi, who had just walked in.

It was normal for Geng Qi to appear in the City of Ten Thousand Swords at this time. It would be strange if he was not there. However, Cui Ting was an existence outside of the plot, so it was strange for him to meet Geng Qi.

At this time, the Singing Sword Platform had just opened. Although there were still three days before the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event, there were still about ten days left for the Singing Sword segment, which was the finale event, so there was more than enough time for registration.

However, everyone had the habit of being the first. They even wanted to be first for the registration… Otherwise, it would seem that they were not enthusiastic enough and were not serious enough.

At a time like this, the higher-ups in the City of Ten Thousand Swords might be secretly observing them. If they did not take a positive attitude, they would be lowering their own evaluation.

Therefore, most of the people in the inn were heading out to sign up. Cui Ting’s action of going against the current was quite eye-catching.

“Brother Cui, what’s the matter with you…?” Liu Yuan asked, pretending to be confused.

Cui Ting’s expression brightened. He walked over and said, “You’re preparing to go to the Singing Sword platform? I happened to see Geng Qi being robbed on the way, so I saved him. He’s going to attend the Tideviewing and Sword-listening competition, so you can take him with you.”

The fact that he was being robbed did not change, though.

Liu Yuan came down from the stairs and greeted the two of them while criticizing them.

The few people beside him looked at each other. This Geng Qi was clearly a mortal, but he actually wanted to participate in some Tideviewing and Sword-listening?

“He’s probably still unconscious,” Yan Guanlin mocked.

It was not just them. The Immortal cultivators who passed by also showed an expression of disbelief.

Liu Yuan touched Chuichui, who was in his arms, and muttered, “Since he doesn’t have any cultivation, he shouldn’t be participating in the Singing Sword segment. He should be here to watch the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event, right? Is he a swordsmith? ”

Cui Ting nodded in appreciation. “Little brother Jiang Feng’s reaction is indeed quick. I relied on my senses as a sword cultivator to discover that Geng Qi’s scabbard was not simple. After asking, I found out that he was not participating in the Singing Sword, but the sword-listening.”

Geng Qi, who seemed a little uncomfortable in a crowded place, scratched his hair and smiled cautiously. Then he said firmly, “Yes, I want to participate in the Sword Pavilion’s event as a swordsmithing master.”

Wasn’t Cui Ting just saying that Yan Guanlin’s reaction was slow…?

Although all the Immortal cultivators present were misled by their thinking habits, he was the only one who mocked them. This might be the innate ability of a troll.

Liu Yuan glanced at Yan Guanlin from the corner of his eye and saw that his face had indeed turned green. He immediately sneered, “Tideviewing and Sword-listening is a sword-forging competition within the Sword Pavilion. It’s not like the Singing Sword Meet, which is open to the outside world. Not just any cat or dog can participate.”

Geng Qi was even more determined. “My Grandmaster was a 9-star swordsman of the Sword Pavilion. He left the sword Pavilion for some reason, but he was never removed from the list. I’m here to restore my Grandmaster’s glory!”

Yan Guanlin, “…&#(”

Yan Guanlin, who was so angry that he could not say anything, clenched the handrail. He took a deep breath, turned around, flicked his sleeves, and left. “What kind of sword can a mortal forge?”

“I don’t think a swordsmith needs to rely on his cultivation,” Cui Ting shook his head.

“How is it possible to forge a high-level magic weapon without the support of cultivation?” Ling Yu asked suspiciously.

Everyone else had already left. Liu Yuan introduced Ling Yu and Cui Ting to each other. Ling Yu was stunned. She did not expect the new judge, who they were discussing yesterday, to be in front of her. Furthermore, he was calling a Foundation Establishment cultivator his brother.

Ling Yu suddenly had some doubts about Liu Yuan. This person was too lucky. He had saved a Fox Demon at the Nascent Soul stage and became friends with her. He also had the same interests as a Void Refinement stage elder and became friends despite their age.

However, when she thought about how she could not resist the temptation of the furry thing and had a good conversation with the other party, she felt that it was natural. She would not feel uncomfortable at all when interacting with this person.

Cui Ting briefly explained what had happened. It turned out that he had heard from the Immortal cultivators who lived with him in the shared house in the morning that the Green Lotus Swordsman was currently staying in the Qingping Residence and had been invited to be a judge. He was going to find someone to make an appointment for another challenge.

“…” Liu Yuan could only smile.

Cui Ting first left a message with the lady boss, then went to find someone. On the way, he bumped into Geng Qi. He saved Geng Qi and brought him to Liu Yuan.

Cui Ting sighed again. I’ve only stayed in this Inn for one night, but I’ve learned a lot. I’ll go and find someone. You guys go to the Singing Sword Platform first. If you need anything, just inject your spiritual energy into this communication jade. I’ll sense it.

Liu Yuan took the sword-shaped communication jade from Cui Ting and nodded to express his gratitude. He waved his hand and watched Cui Ting leave.

Now that his appearance had completely changed and his aura was hidden, Cui Ting should not be noticed if he stood in front of Shen Sifan.

“Geng Qi? The entrance to the Sword Pavilion is also there, but it might be a little difficult for you. The path is tough, the terrain is too steep, and I’m afraid you can’t go up by yourself. I’ll ride my sword and give you a ride.”

Liu Yuan looked at one of the main characters in the original plot. Chuichui, who was in his arms, had completely woken up. She jumped onto his shoulder in a few moves and lay down, groaning.

Sending Geng Qi up was originally one of the missions called ‘The Path is Tough’.

This series of missions was quite simple. There was basically no battle plot. It was just that Geng Qi had won in the end. Then, Mo Ying, the son of the Sword Pavilion Master, had become angry from embarrassment and decided to take action.

At the end of that part, there was a cutscene. The Sword Pavilion Master personally came out of seclusion and knocked Mo Ying out. He then gave a sword he forged to Geng Qi and made an exception to make him an elder of the Sword Pavilion. Mo Ying was extremely ashamed and came to apologize, and became friends with Geng Qi.
