Chapter 58
Li Muyang frowned and pondered, his gaze filled with confusion.
This time, he had already moved as fast as he could, hardly wasting any time on the road.
Yet, in the end, he only reached LV89, not to mention facing Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong, even top-tier NPCs like Liu Guan Zhang and Grand General He Jin were beyond his reach.
The final chapter came so abruptly.
This game, unlike the mystery of Loushan City, has a fixed time limit for the revival of the evil spirits.
The better Li Muyang performs within this fixed time limit, the higher the completion score.
But just grinding and leveling up, this save file is already Li Muyang’s limit.
Even if he could grind and level up more proficiently in the next save, it wouldn’t significantly improve the completion score.Because the later NPCs take longer to battle.
Even if Li Muyang’s feet were smoking from speed, he couldn’t possibly defeat all the NPCs before the revival of the evil spirits.
“It seems that to perfectly complete this game, just grinding and leveling up won’t cut it. There must be another trick?”
Li Muyang thought.
The game’s content is very rough and simple. It doesn’t even have the mazes commonly found in single-player games.
In Luoyang City, there are only two types of NPCs: various famous figures from the Three Kingdoms era, who Li Muyang slaughters, and the dragon deity fairy.
In the game, aside from grinding and leveling up, Li Muyang’s only other activity was avoiding the dragon fairy.
But now it seems…
“Could it be that the dragon fairy might be a friendly NPC, and I can get her help?”
The route of fleeing from the dragon fairy has already proven to be ineffective.
So that leaves only one other route—conquering the dragon deity fairy and getting her help!
Li Muyang, combining the information from the instance, made such an inference.
Otherwise, there are no other routes in this game.
He was about to enter the game to verify his guess when suddenly the voice of his little sister Li Yuechan rang out from outside.
“Brother? Didn’t you water the spiritual field today?”
The girl’s voice was full of confusion.
Li Muyang opened his eyes again, got up, and opened the door, only to see that it was already sunset outside, with the evening glow filling the sky.
He had stayed up all night, and now he had played the whole day… Hmm… Looking at it this way, the time limit for the revival of the evil spirits in Luoyang City is probably about 12 hours in reality?
Li Muyang pondered in his heart, looking at his little sister Li Yuechan, who was full of curiosity, and he sighed.
“I had something come up today, so I didn’t water the spiritual field.”
“Anyway, the spirit valley was just planted; if it’s ruined, it’s ruined. I’ll replant it in a couple of days.”
Li Muyang was completely indifferent to the withering of the spirit valley.
The delicate spirit valley cannot go a day without the nourishment of spirit rain.
One day without rain, and the stems and leaves will wither.
Two days without rain, and it will dry up and decay.
Three days without rain, and it’s time to prepare to plant new seeds.
But now Li Muyang was busy playing the game and had no intention of tending to the spiritual field.
Aside from being somewhat addicted to the game “Three Kingdoms: Demon Subduing Record,” the most important reason was that this game actually had a time limit.
Next to the game list, beside the title “Three Kingdoms: Demon Subduing Record,” there was a small countdown timer.
If Li Muyang couldn’t complete the game and claim the reward before the countdown ended, he would lose the opportunity to claim the game’s arrival forever.
And now, after converting the digital time… there were only about ten days left.
Although ten days is enough to complete a game with a simple process, Li Muyang, to be on the safe side, decided not to farm.
Cultivators can go without sleep, so he would grind!
Grind hard!
The sooner he claimed the game reward, the sooner he could enjoy it.
Li Muyang chatted briefly with his little sister, sent Li Yuechan away, then started a fire to cook.
Afterward, he enjoyed a sumptuous and delicious dinner with the hot dishes his little sister had brought.
After dinner, having digested the spiritual energy within his body, Li Muyang directly entered the system and started the game.
On the bustling streets of Luoyang City, Li Muyang opened his eyes,
This time, he directly entered the save file after defeating 【Prefect of Julu, Guo Dian】.
The mysterious fairy shrouded in mist arrived as expected.
【Mysterious Fairy: Who art thou? Darest thou trespass into this den of dragons and pit of tigers?】
The familiar dialogue, but this time Li Muyang did not run.
He stood in place waiting for the mysterious fairy to approach, then edited his dialogue entry.
【Nanhua Immortal: Chaos has arisen, and the city’s resentful spirits are about to lose control. Dragon fairy, are you unaware of the great calamity that looms?】
Previous friendly exchanges failed to elicit a friendly response from the dragon fairy.
This time, Li Muyang changed his approach and went straight for the hard-hitting approach with the aloof and indifferent fairy.
He started with a triple threat of intimidation.
【Nanhua Immortal: If these city’s resentful spirits wreak havoc upon the world, who knows how many innocent people will die by the hands of evil spirits, and countless lives will be ruined.】
【Nanhua Immortal: Faced with such a dire disaster, does the dragon fairy truly not care?】
With the save file at hand, Li Muyang completely let loose, using harsh words to intimidate the mysterious fairy.
If it failed, he could just reload the save and try again.
Unexpectedly, after sending this stern message, the mysterious fairy shrouded in mist hesitated.
【Mysterious fairy: Who… who art thou?】
【Mysterious fairy: The vengeful spirits within the city have all been suppressed by me. On what grounds dost thou claim that they are about to break free?】
The previously aloof and reticent dragon deity fairy, now faced with Li Muyang’s stern words, seemed somewhat unsure of herself.
It appeared she was intimidated by the harsh questioning from Li Muyang.
Tsk… So this dragon deity fairy is actually a naive innocent who’s inexperienced in worldly matters?
Initially thought to be unapproachable and indifferent, she now seems more like a naive innocent who doesn’t know how to interact with others.
It was her silence that made her seem distant…
Seeing that his harsh words were effective, Li Muyang continued to press on, though his tone was much softer this time.
Now that he had figured out the dragon deity fairy’s true nature, she was easy to handle.
Although Li Muyang lacked experience in romance and didn’t know how to deceive girls, dealing with a world-unwise innocent was still a breeze for him.
Plus, the ability to save and reload the game allowed for endless trial and error.
Finally, after the sixth reload, Li Muyang managed to gain some trust from the dragon deity fairy.
【Mysterious fairy: If that is so, I shall trust thee a little.】
【Dragon Deity Fairy joins the party】
Seeing this system notification, Li Muyang clenched his fist tightly.
This mysterious fairy was indeed a teammate!
Although he couldn’t control the dragon deity fairy, he could read her character status.
The current level of the dragon deity fairy was LV99, with a dazzling array of skills and a true max-level character.
With a max-level character joining the party, their progress in slaying enemies accelerated significantly.
This time, Li Muyang truly saw hope for a perfect score in the game.
