Chapter 8, Village Massacre Master, Inheritance of the Demon Blade
In the brief moment of looking up, Young Master Yu transformed from a third-rate nobody in the martial world into a skilled bodyguard of the escort agency, feeling a slight sense of pride. His mind was quick, and he immediately understood why the young girl wanted to kill him; it was most likely due to the "Chain Quest - Inheritance of the Demon Blade!"
Although Yu Wenhui had no interest in the massacre of the village, he was aware that these villagers were most likely not real people. The two individuals were not murderers, but rather ordinary players. Just as he was about to greet them, he saw a young girl raise her hand and hurl a long spear towards him. The spear came at an astonishing speed, suddenly appearing right in front of him.
In just over ten minutes, the two summoned individuals had completely annihilated the entire village. Each of them had over a hundred lives on their hands, and even in the notification area of the light screen, there were counts of the livestock and poultry they had slaughtered in the village, truly embodying the phrase: "Not a single chicken or dog was spared! Even the cockroaches were crushed to death."
Yu Wenhui almost wanted to kick the holographic screen to pieces, cursing: "I am not this insane! Massacre a village? How was this task designed? Such inhumane tasks would never pass the review; how did they get approved..." After complaining for seven or eight sentences, he suddenly remembered that this game was developed by Chinese individuals without household registration, a game created by a group of historical black households for their kind, which fundamentally did not require any review.
The Bone-Free Soft Fist Technique, Level 1, Great Perfection
Yu Wenhui suddenly recalled that when he shot and killed Aunt Li, the village beauty, she had also looked like this. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This damn game actually made visual adjustments for children!"
The original qualities of this body left Yu Wenhui in awe, and he secretly pondered: "The innate talent of the scholar in white surpasses that of Aunt Li by so much. No wonder, despite his mediocre martial skills, he could still kill this lady with a single punch. I wonder what level this body’s qualities correspond to; it probably wouldn't be able to withstand a provincial athlete, at the very least, it must be at the level of a national athlete"
I had my donkey cut off... Are these two fellows the reincarnations of Bai Qi and Huang Chao, or blood relatives of Zhang Xianzhong? How could they massacre the village so swiftly and efficiently
Innate Root Bone: Muscles and Bones (5.7) Comprehension (8.0) Dexterity (7.1) Rapid Change (6.6) Spirit (6.9)
That last statement was rather too "tonal"; it is not something a serious straight man like him should say
Yu Wenhui made a self-deprecating remark: "The realism of this game is quite high; it truly lives up to being crafted by alien technology. If account registration were opened, the daily revenue would definitely exceed ten million!" He then checked the holographic screen and discovered a "Hidden Task: Eliminate the village beauty, Aunt Li." In addition to awarding four hundred and fifty experience points, it dropped a character card "Shrew" and unlocked a series of quests—Village Massacre!
Star rating: ☆
The young girl was momentarily taken aback, clearly in disbelief that her all-out effort with a single shot had failed to kill Yu Wenhui. A boy, slightly slower than her, reacted swiftly, moving in close, launching a flurry of punches and kicks. His hands were like two short swords, poking and prodding in a particularly lewd manner, leaving the young girl dazed. After only seven or eight exchanges, the boy executed a scissor kick that caught her by the neck, twisting forcefully, causing the young girl's head to droop down, seemingly lifeless.
The young man and woman both appear quite youthful. The man looks like a high school student, dressed in a complete outfit reminiscent of the Republic of China era, exuding a shrewd and capable demeanor, embodying the spirit of patriotic students. The girl is slightly older, around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, still retaining a youthful innocence, resembling an undergraduate who has yet to graduate. She holds a long rifle in her hands, her hair tied back in a ponytail that sways behind her, and she is dressed in a form-fitting athletic outfit that accentuates her beautiful figure, which is both curvaceous and well-defined, blending classical and modern styles.
He wiped his sweat, yet remained undeterred, wanting to return to the village to take a look. Unable to contain himself, he muttered: "Perhaps the people are gone, but the tasks remain. I could take on a few new beginner tasks!"
The boy had not anticipated that Yu Wenhui would strike from behind, and he had made no preparations whatsoever. He was pierced through the back and into the chest by a long spear. He turned his face to glare angrily at Yu Wenhui, but he could only manage to glare twice before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
Yu Wenhui weighed the long spear in his hand, reflecting on how he had nearly been killed moments ago, the girl who had already been slain, and the life that had been threatened. Suddenly, a surge of anger arose within him. He took a couple of steps to gain momentum and then, imitating what he had seen, hurled the long spear forward.
Integration
The operating system for implanting character cards is very user-friendly. Even though it was his first encounter, Yu Wenhui quickly became familiar with the basic operations. He discovered that he had already completed his first novice task: chatting with the village beauty, Aunt Li, and earned fifty experience points. Unfortunately, Aunt Li has now been killed by him, and he can no longer complete the subsequent task related to her.
Yu Wenhui was about to check what kind of trouble the fallen shrew card of Aunt Li had, when a prompt suddenly popped up on the light screen: "You have automatically shared the hidden mission: Village Massacre! Two brave warriors have already responded to the call, and their locations are ... ... " Immediately after, two coordinates were provided.
Yu Wenhui could hardly contain his complaints, secretly grumbling: "What the hell! Am I really going to become the villainous overlord? Isn't this just a simplified version of Li Yuanhong? Sitting at home with the door closed, and the position just falls from the sky. I haven't done anything, okay? I absolutely do not want to become the villainous overlord! Such a position is better left alone!"
Yu Wenhui touched his head and thought to himself: "Fortunately, no one else heard those few words just now." Then he heard the system prompt: Your courageous demeanor in defeating the enemy has been recorded by the system as a part of your achievements...
The system suddenly gave him a warning: Enemies are approaching
Quality: Plain card
Item (2) empty
Martial Arts: Minor Essence Formula
There are no living people in the village now, and of course, there are no dead either; they have all turned into white mist and dispersed
This strike is also unknown to what hidden principle it aligns with, as the long spear unexpectedly moves as swiftly as lightning, shooting forth with extraordinary force
Integration
Yu Wenhui is in distress; this village has been completely slaughtered. Even if he changes his character, he will not be able to complete the novice task. How can he leave this place
Fortunately, just now, Yu Wenhui used a Brute-level character card, possessing exceptional physical qualities. In the midst of his busy schedule, he leaned back slightly, and the long spear brushed past the tip of his nose with a whoosh, piercing into the large tree behind him, penetrating several inches deep, with the spearhead embedded in the trunk.
Yu Wenhui's light screen timely reminded him that he had already killed two "Inheritors of the Demon Blade!" It was evident that the girl who had killed the boy dressed as a Republic of China student was also counted towards his tally, prompting him to involuntarily remark: "The kill list can actually be cumulative, what a thoughtful design"
Special (0)
Martial Arts: Total Value (0) Horizontal Training (0) Internal Strength (0) Techniques (0) Lightness Skill (0) State of Mind (0)
Yu Wenhui was taken aback for a moment; he truly did not expect that this game, crafted with alien technology, would have such thoughtful settings. He hurriedly located the previous battle record and deleted the saved file where he had proudly stated, "He is very likely to... shoot you from behind!"
The data presented by the light curtain is exceptionally detailed, and the Little Essence Formula cannot provide any martial arts value. The martial arts value of the White-Clad Scholar, which reaches 5.9, is entirely derived from the Boneless Soft Fist
Attribute: Special Skill Card, capable of refining experience and refining experience cards
Yu Wenhui did not pay much attention and continued to check the task list. The "hidden task" he completed, which involved eliminating the village beauty, Aunt Li, surprisingly awarded him a total of four hundred and fifty experience points. Without much thought, Yu Wenhui added this experience to the Bone-less Soft Fist, and this time he accumulated enough experience points for the upgrade, allowing this martial arts card to level up to: (2 / 10)
Yu Wenhui had finally managed to climb halfway up the mountain again, and he saw the village that had fallen silent.
Level: 1 / 10
Yu Wenhui's martial arts prowess has reached a new high, achieving as much as 10 points
Ordinary humans, even the strongest characters, are at most at the level of amateurs.
Attribute: Basic Martial Arts Card, can replace the first form of the six types of martial arts: fist, palm, claw, finger, leg, and body technique, reduces the number of equipped Basic Martial Arts Cards, saves martial arts slots
Without a clear benchmark for comparison, Yu Wenhui's estimates tend to be conservative. However, he will soon realize how far off his judgment is. The physical attributes of a character at the level of a formidable warrior are simply not comparable to those of an ordinary human on Earth
He also reviewed the information on two martial arts cards
When Yu Wenhui stood up, he casually grabbed the long spear that was embedded in the large tree. With a strong effort from his waist and back, he pulled it out, weighed it in his hand, and shook it a bit. Although he was not skilled with weapons and had never learned this thing since childhood, he still felt it would be better than being empty-handed, after all, he had the foundation of the Wu Bone Soft Fist.
Quality: Plain card
Star rating: ☆
Slot: Martial Arts (5) Bone-less Soft Fist, Minor Essence Technique
Not long ago, this place was quite peaceful and harmonious, with villagers coming and going. Now, however, it is completely deserted, with not even a single chicken or dog left alive. This evokes a slight sense of sorrow in Yu Wenhui's heart, even though he knows that those who have died may not necessarily be truly dead, and that those who have perished may not even be human. Yet, because this world is too realistic, he still finds it somewhat difficult to accept.
Yu Wenhui raised a middle finger, chuckled softly, and exuded an indescribable lewd aura. It took him a few minutes before he suddenly sensed that something was amiss
He couldn't help but complain: "With this approach, I simply cannot complete the novice tasks. Without completing the novice tasks, I won't be able to leave this terrible game! It seems I need to change my character... However, I only have two fairies on hand, and if I change my character card, I won't be able to be human anymore"
This large trough has caused his throat to swell and hurt
These two individuals who took on the sharing task are quite swift. Before Yu Wenhui could figure out how he had shared this inhumane task, he saw that the two coordinates had already penetrated the village. The system quickly began to notify him of the "breakthrough" count and kindly informed him, as the task sharer, of how much experience points he had earned.
Of course, Yu Wenhui quickly realized that this feeling was actually an illusion
Without saying, these two players who completed the village massacre task also received the quest for the Demon Blade inheritance, which is why they wanted to kill him, turning "this year's ninety-nine into next year's ninety-eight"
Martial Arts: Boneless Soft Fist
Yu Wenhui walked over and saw dozens of cards scattered in the white mist. He picked them all up and also retrieved the long gun that had fallen on the ground. Only then did he snort coldly and say unceremoniously: "Never turn your back on an engineering man, as he is very likely to... shoot you in the back!"
The circular light curtain not only provides coordinates but also offers a three-dimensional map. In the map, a man and a woman came rushing towards him one after the other, precisely the two "warriors" who had just slaughtered the village. Both of them had rather strange expressions, as if they were in perfect harmony with each other
Yu Wenhui had reviewed the introduction to the game "Full-time Martial God" and was aware that this game required manual allocation of experience points. Naturally, he would not choose the Minor Essence Technique, and he casually allocated the fifty experience points to the Bone-less Soft Fist.
Martial Arts: Horizontal Training (0.7) Internal Power (1.8) Techniques (1.6) Lightness Skill (0.9) Artistic Conception (0.9)
Before Yu Wenhui could stand up, he hurriedly invested all the experience points he had just obtained into the Bone-less Soft Fist. The sound of the light curtain chimed continuously, and by the time he straightened his back again, the Bone-less Soft Fist had already reached level 10
His holographic screen once again displayed a prompt: Hidden Task - Village Massacre! Completed. You have gained a vast amount of experience points, and unlocked the chain task - Inheritance of the Demon Blade! You must kill ninety-nine players who possess the Demon Blade inheritance task in order to obtain the true techniques of the Demon Blade and embark on the path to the supreme demonic way
The upgrade of the Bone-Free Soft Fist caused a warm current to surge within Yu Wenhui, making him feel noticeably lighter and more agile. His joints became much more flexible, and as he moved his fists and feet, a sound akin to wind and thunder erupted from them, cracking loudly with strength and vigor. He felt as if just a moment ago, Aunt Li could have knocked out two opponents with a single punch
This boy dressed as a student from the Republic of China truly embodies a wild and cool demeanor. After saying this, he turned and left, completely ignoring Yu Wenhui
This set of martial arts can be cultivated to the maximum level of 1 star, providing a total of 10 points of martial arts. Currently, it can only provide 5.9 points of martial arts, leaving room for further improvement
This little girl is quite ruthless in her actions
Martial Arts: Total Value (5.9) Horizontal Training (0.7) Internal Strength (1.8) Techniques (1.6) Lightness Skill (0.9) Artistic Conception (0.9)
After a moment, the young girl transformed into a swirling mist of white vapor.
Sequence: None
Level: 1 / 10
Yu Wenhui followed the prompts on the light screen and took a stroll around the village. To his surprise, he actually received seven novice tasks, which he completed quite easily. However, when he saw the remaining twenty-eight novice tasks on the light screen, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. The seven tasks he could complete did not require any interaction with the villagers, but the remaining twenty-eight all required conversations with the villagers.
When he checked the panel of the white-clad scholar, he found that he had leveled up. The character's martial arts value had increased by 0.3 points, from 5.9 to 6.2. Such a level of martial power increase should be considered negligible. He stretched his body for a while, sometimes feeling that his martial arts were still a bit higher, and other times feeling that it seemed to be about the same.
Sequence: None
Fifty experience points are naturally insufficient for leveling up, and the Bone-Free Soft Fist remains at star level: ☆, level: 1 / 10
The boy killed his opponent, reached out, and pulled out a dozen cards from the white mist. He cast a cold glance at Yu Wenhui and said淡淡地说道: "Wait until my Meteor Sword Technique levels up, then I will come to kill you"
