Chapter 10, after all, is not a game
Half a month ago, Wang Cai and Xie Yun disappeared together, and Ning Yue has become accustomed to this. This is because Xie Yun often relies on Wang Cai's assistance when solving cases, but it has never happened before that they would suddenly vanish for more than half a month.
The setting sun casts its last rays on the horizon, while the sky remains bright. Ning Yue hums a little tune as she slowly walks along the country path. Just before reaching Yishui Village, a small yellow dot suddenly appears at the edge of the horizon, rapidly approaching Ning Yue.
After discussions, the three parties divided the Chiyan Dan from the Zhouji Pharmacy equally, but they must ensure that the Zhouji Pharmacy is not disturbed by any ill-intentioned individuals or forces. Ningyue provides the Zhouji Pharmacy with thirty pills each month, which amounts to ten pills for each party.
In the future, after triggering tasks to earn experience, the first investment should be in internal skills, followed by investment in techniques. As for character levels, it is preferable to avoid leveling up if possible, as there is not much benefit to leveling up anyway
Hahaha... Xiaoyueyue, you are quite impressive. After not seeing you for more than half a month, you have already become a third-rate master. It truly opens my eyes. Shouldn't you treat your brother to a drink to celebrate, Xiaoyueyue?" Xie Yun grabbed Ning Yue's hand and twisted it backward while leisurely picking up the wine jug that Ning Yue had placed on the ground and taking a generous sip.
Originally, Ning Yue named it Chasing the Moon, because Wang Cai runs really fast. However, later Xie Yun insisted on changing it to Wang Cai, arguing that it was inappropriate for one of the four great captains, Lord Chasing the Moon, to share a name with a dog.
Does it have anything to do with me? Ning Yue moved slightly; half a month ago was precisely when she had created the Crimson Flame Pill. The weather that day was also unusually strange, with wind blowing one moment and rain falling the next.
Little Yueyue, continue!" Saying this, the wine jug in her hand flew towards Ningyue like a shooting star.
Xie Yun followed in with a skip, watching Ning Yue busily boiling water. Xie Yun's eyes began to roll around again, "Xiao Yueyue, aren't you planning to cook?"
Three days later, the three leaders of the Baicaotang Shennong Gang and the Shikumen gathered at the Zhouji Pharmacy. Knowing that Xie Yun was backing Zhouji, the leaders treated Zhouji with relative courtesy.
Xie Yun chuckled, her hands flying as she grabbed and pinched Ning Yue's arm, causing it to lose sensation in no time. This move was very familiar to Ning Yue; it was the small grappling technique he had been diligently practicing over the past few days.
Xie Yun appears to be a hopeless drunkard, yet his skills are undoubtedly impressive. At merely twenty-three years of age, he has reached the seventh level of the acquired realm, a feat not commonly seen throughout the entire Tianmu Mansion. As Xie Yun struck with his palm, it seemed slow, but the rolling motion between his hands resembled crashing waves, rendering his entire palm ethereal and elusive. Ning Yue had just raised her hand to block when their palms crossed, and she immediately sensed something was amiss.
In the real world, there is no upgrading; the reason people become stronger is still due to learning advanced martial arts or the refinement of their skills. Upgrading may significantly enhance one's innate qualities, but in practice, it truly has little effect.
Ning Yue's actions paused for a moment; after a month, she once again heard news of Qian Muxue. It would be a lie to say that she did not care about this nominal fiancée. However, Ning Yue did not dare to truly place herself in the position of her fiancé. As the world says, Qian Muxue exists in the mortal realm yet transcends the mundane. She walks among people, yet is a celestial being exiled from the heavens. This makes Ning Yue only able to watch from a distance, too afraid to approach.
A cubic unit of wine weighs a total of 2,000 jin, and the pond in front can hold at least 3,600 cubic units of wine. This means there is a total of 7,200,000 jin of wine, which is more than enough for you to drink in ten lifetimes.
However, rather than doubting Ning Yue's transformation, Xie Yun secretly rejoiced. In Xie Yun's impression, Ning Yue was very spirited in her childhood. Perhaps now she has shed her disguise and returned to her original character
"Let go of me!" Ning Yue snorted coldly, slowly realigning her dislocated bones according to the techniques of the minor grappling art that she practiced. "Is a third-rate even considered a master? Also, if you want to drink, go to the cellar and get it yourself, don't make excuses."
Before long, Xie Yun brought a bowl of noodles to Ning Yue's side and started eating it noisily, "Aren't you going to ask me what I've been up to for the past half month?"
Pushing open the neatly arranged fence, Ning Yue stepped lightly into her small courtyard. As she raised her eyes, she could see Xie Yun sitting on the edge of the roof, dangling his legs and sipping wine one mouthful at a time
The system is ultimately not merely a game; since the system can influence reality, how could reality possibly not affect the system? It is impossible for all the benefits to be retained while all the drawbacks disappear
Half a month ago, a spectacular battle broke out in the center of Taihu Lake. Are you interested to know?" Xie Yunlu asked, looking at Ning Yue's profile with an evil smile.
This matter is quite embarrassing for Ning Yue, as the misfortune of Zhou Ji's pharmacy originated from him. After discussing the allocation of shares with Zhou Ji, Ning Yue took his leave.
Only when D百里云 truly vanished from the streets did the system's task notification indicate completion. It was not just Ning Yue who breathed a sigh of relief; Zhou Ji, who stood nearby in a state of shock, felt the same way. The Zhou father and daughter quickly expressed their heartfelt gratitude, especially Zhou Cuicui, whose gaze towards Ning Yue was filled with sparks.
Xie Yun spat and disappeared in a flash, making Ning Yue feel that she was even worse than a dog in her heart. Ever since Ning Yue was injured, she had undergone a tremendous transformation; she became increasingly sharp-tongued and her demeanor grew more caustic.
The skeptical Ning Yue once again immersed herself in the system interface. Although her character level had increased by two levels, there was not the slightest change in her character's strength, speed, or defense, and her combat power had not improved in the slightest. Aside from a slight increase in her root bone, there seemed to be no benefits at all from the level up
Is she alright? He forced his tone to sound somewhat natural, but someone as seasoned as Xie Yun still revealed a hint of a triumphant smirk.
I have dined in the yamen courtyard
Returning to the yamen, Ning Yue eagerly made her way back to the courtyard. She had just completed a task and earned 300 experience points, while leveling up from the first level to the second level only required 250 experience points. This meant that Ning Yue was able to level up.
Xie Yun suddenly put down the bowl with a serious expression. Qian Muxue suddenly arrived at the Angry Flood Dragon Gang to challenge Yue Longxuan, with the duel location set at Taihu Lake. Among those who watched the battle at that time were the great hero of Jiangnan, Jiang Bieyun, and the unparalleled Shen Qianqiu from Jinling. Apart from these two, no one else could witness this great battle up close.
As if trapped in a quagmire, Ning Yue's palm strength was completely devoured, and what made him feel even worse was that his entire body seemed to be sinking into the mire, making every movement incredibly difficult, as if bound by invisible restraints. Gradually, it was not only his actions that became laborious, but even his breathing felt unusually thick.
"Cut it out, it sounds just the same. Where did the wine you are drinking come from? Don't tell me it's from Uncle Zhang's place at the village entrance." Saying this with annoyance, she tidied up her clothes and ignored the awkwardness as Xie Yun stepped into the courtyard
"What? When did your reaction become so quick?" Xie Yun was surprised as he put down the wine jug. When he formally sized up Ning Yue, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.
I haven't counted, but I guess I could fill the pond in front of me!" Xie Yun replied while pouring wine into his mouth.
Unknowingly, five days have passed since Ning Yue achieved a minor success in the practice of the Little Capture Technique. Her progress in cultivation has noticeably slowed down, to only one-fifth of her previous speed. It is not that Ning Yue is not diligent, but rather that the proficiency required to advance from minor success level 10 to major success level 15 is greater than the cumulative proficiency needed for all previous levels combined
"I haven't eaten yet. How can we not entertain the guests at home?" Xie Yun's expression was very sorrowful, and her gaze towards Ning Yue was filled with deep resentment
You are the iron plate shop of the Heavenly Pavilion, and naturally, there are many tasks to attend to. It is better not to know what should not be known. Ning Yue casually tossed a piece of firewood into the stove
"Wang Cai!" Ning Yue exclaimed in surprise, crouching down and allowing Wang Cai to leap into her arms
Ning Yue did not expect Xie Yun to suddenly make a move, but still instinctively reached out and grasped the wine jug in her hand. Just as she secured her grip, the sound of wind rushed past her ear.
Having understood this point, Ning Yue naturally formulated a plan to strengthen herself based on the actual situation. After spending a whole afternoon, Ning Yue managed to organize her thoughts. First, she needed to develop her internal skills. Having understood the relationship between the system and reality, Ning Yue also realized that only by enhancing her internal skills could her strength see a significant improvement.
Wangcai is a native dog, but Ningyue can guarantee that this is the smartest native dog in the world. Anyway, Ningyue often talked to Wangcai when she had nothing to do, and Wangcai could almost understand everything she said
How can this be? That is the fine wine personally brewed by the teacher, and it is also one of the few relics left by the teacher. Even if you gave me the greatest courage, I would not dare to take it. Xie Yun instantly became serious, and those unfamiliar with his expression might truly be deceived by him.
"You have stayed in this house longer than I have," Ning Yue said with a dismissive smile. "If you want to eat something, go to the kitchen and make it yourself. Remember to make a little for Wangcai as well. I didn't bring him any bones today because I didn't know he would be back..."
I suddenly realized something; in my memory, every time I meet you, you are either drinking or inviting me to drink. Have you ever counted how much alcohol you have consumed over the years?" Ning Yue stood in the courtyard, looking up and asking with a smile
The character upgrade button had already lit up, and Ning Yue clicked on the upgrade with anticipation. After a wave of tingling sensations, Ning Yue's character level had risen from level 1 to level 2. Logically, with the level increase, the strength should also double. However, unfortunately, there was not the slightest feeling of change; the lightness of a swallow was absent, and the sensation of being reborn was nowhere to be found. It was as if nothing had changed after a brief shiver. But unfortunately, there was not the slightest feeling of change; the lightness of a swallow was absent, and the sensation of being reborn was nowhere to be found. It was as if nothing had changed after a brief shiver.
Wang Cai has returned, which means that Xie Yun has also come back, and Ning Yue's mood has suddenly improved. Xie Yun is not only his good friend but also his elder brother. Although this elder brother can be quite unreliable at times, as long as Xie Yun is around, the entire area will have to give Ning Yue some respect
Ning Yue felt very disappointed. If she had used these 300 experience points to upgrade her martial arts, she could have at least raised her Minor Capture Technique to level 11. Ultimately, it was the misleading nature of experience points! After some reflection, Ning Yue also understood the reason why upgrading does not lead to an increase in strength
