Chapter 010 Further Deception

More importantly, upon entering, one feels as if they have stepped into a fairyland, where all the various shackles that once bound them are instantly lifted, making the experience significantly more comfortable than outside, to the extent that even the original fatigue is reduced by a third

However, upon realizing that these delicacies are consumed by immortals, I felt a sense of relief, especially as each bite made my body feel exceptionally refreshed and comfortable, as it turned out that the essence of the food was nourishing my body

Wu Xiu, who was eating, couldn't help but be taken aback. Is there such a saying?

Wu Xiu stood outside the stone house with three servants, and could not help but exclaim in his heart that it was indeed the work of a celestial being; in just one night, a stone house had risen from the ground as if by magic.

In addition to iron ore and coal, various materials such as sand and sulfur are also needed. I require too many resources, and relying solely on myself to search aimlessly will likely take a considerable amount of time

Looking at the steaming food, Wu Xiu originally intended to refuse, but recalling the quarrel he had with his father early in the morning, which led him to leave without eating, he arrived here feeling famished. Thus, he had no choice but to put on a bold face and said: "Then I must thank you, esteemed immortal."

If you wish to satisfy your appetite, these items are insufficient

"I have been rather reckless, I will retrieve it at that time, retrieve it." Wu Xiu could only say with some reluctance, feeling a bit uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he had been belittled by the other party

Chen Xiyi opened his eyes, slowly rising to his feet, as numerous stones emerged around him, forming a suit of armor.

Chen Xiqu took out some steamed buns, mantou, soy milk, and youtiao, all of which he had prepared in the large kitchen at his home garden

Moreover, I not only need resources, but also items with historical significance, preferably those related to deities and spirits. I am merely a sandbox game player, not a true immortal; only the fairies that are somewhat connected to deities and spirits can assist me in continuing to deceive.

Yes, esteemed immortal

In response to this, Chen Xiyi had already devised a countermeasure

Chen Xiyi chuckled lightly and said: "These foods are for us, fellow travelers, to satisfy our appetites, but you should not eat too much. Being seven-tenths full is sufficient; if you eat too much, the energy from the food will backfire on you."

As for the iron ore, based on the information that Chen Xiyi has gathered from Wu Xiuna, it should be ready for development and utilization

He is still exploring these functions

After tidying up his attire, he then bowed at the door and spoke

Chen Xiyi is also not very clear about this; he has just acquired the friend system and the enemy system, which were previously only available in single-player mode. Without a beginner's tutorial or manual, it is natural that he is unaware of these features

There are green dots and three white dots? It seems that Wu Xiu has arrived, it looks like I need to show off a bit.

The three servants following behind naturally knelt down upon hearing this, as their young master had already confessed his wrongdoing, so they too had to follow suit

This remark made Wu Xiu feel somewhat embarrassed, as it seemed he had indeed been overly enthusiastic. The noodles he had eaten yesterday were truly a culinary masterpiece, and the items he was given were simply disgraceful.

Only by making good use of the NPCs in this world can I develop better

As a result, these foods were stuffed into the mouth

Therefore, it is only by establishing my persona as the celestial being of the Clear Void and Soaring that I can then take advantage of the information gap and engage in deception through mystique and trickery

Is it because the subject is not me

I understand, this principle of not receiving supplements when empty is exactly this reasoning" Wu Xiu quickly responded in agreement

Under the mine, Chen Xiyi hurriedly climbed up. After returning to the stone house, he sealed the entrance with the stone floor. After a moment of rest, he sat cross-legged on the bed, contemplated for a while, and then put on the attire of the leader of the Qingxu Sect.

However, Wu Xiu's father is a wealthy man, so could I possibly use this NPC, Wu Xiu, to find the information I need

Your enemy: Mr. Wu Guan, the steward, has slandered you to your friend: Mr. Wu Xiu, the scholar, but they do not see eye to eye; Mr. Wu Xiu believes that Mr. Wu Guan, the steward, is talking nonsense

Otherwise, how could it possibly change to such a state in an instant, especially resembling that stone-carved deity

According to the previous introduction by Wu Xiu, the Dali Kingdom places great emphasis on literature while neglecting martial affairs, and reveres deities. The path of a literati can be set aside for now. In my identity as the ascetic Xuansheng Fuyiao, I can first go to the temples to obtain the statues or ritual vessels that are being worshipped, and then through a second round of persuasion, acquire the ancestral items of the military officials.

Come in. A nonchalant voice came from within

Upon witnessing this scene, the four individuals could not help but exclaim in unison, truly divine

Wu Xiu had not finished speaking when Chen Xiyi interrupted him, saying: "There is no need, I have attained enlightenment, I do not consume grains or drink ordinary water, you may take these items back."

When Wu Xiu and the three attendants raised their heads, what they saw was no longer Chen Xiyi dressed in the attire of the Master of the Qingxu Sect, but rather Chen Xiyi clad in a tightly wrapped stone armor.

... ...

After all, those who can become officials are generally individuals with agile minds; otherwise, how could they navigate the complexities of the officialdom

... ...

Having said that, Wu Xiu entered the room and saw a divine figure seated cross-legged on a wooden bed, exuding an aura of celestial grace and Daoist demeanor. It was as if he were untouched by the mortal world, while also witnessing the rise and fall of mountains and seas in the human realm

Yes, esteemed immortal

Esteemed Immortal, I left in haste yesterday, and by the time I returned home, night had fallen. Early this morning, I took the liberty to bring...

I, Wu Xiu, humbly present myself along with my servant to pay respects to the Celestial Master Qingxu

Rise, for I have just entered a meditative state to gather energy and have now revealed my true form; do not blame you all." Chen Xiyi stood up and said as he walked to the side

No worries, you came to my place so early, you haven't eaten yet, right? Just so happens I have some leftovers, why don't we share them?

Goodness, at this hour the father and son should be having breakfast, yet they are discussing me so early in the morning. However, why is it that this time there is no animosity or fondness related to me?

Chen Xiyi is aware of his own strengths and weaknesses, thus he must leverage his advantages to succeed

Wu Xiu fixed his gaze and was taken aback; it seemed that this door was opened by him, rather than by the esteemed Qingxu Celestial.

Fortunately, Wu Xiu immediately reacted and hurriedly bowed to apologize: "I beg your pardon, esteemed immortal, please forgive my rudeness"

However, there was no sound from within; instead, the stone door suddenly opened.

What Chen Xiyi said was certainly a deception aimed at deepening Wu Xiu's perception of his own celestial persona through the use of rhetoric

The idea is good, but the problem is that Chen Xiyi feels that if one were to straightforwardly pursue these matters, it is very likely that one would not be able to compete with the people of this world

Chen Xiyi pondered over this matter. He needed iron ore and coal. He was uncertain whether coal could be developed and utilized in this world. If it could be developed and utilized, it would be much easier to handle. If not, it might become somewhat troublesome

Only after the final forces have risen will the selection of civil officials take place

The ancients were limited by the constraints of their times, which led to their misunderstanding of many matters; this does not imply that they were foolish or naive
