Chapter Two: Fire Talisman

With a chime, the system notified me that I had completed the task. I picked up the wooden talisman, and the system displayed: "Beginner Fire Talisman, Magical Artifact, Equipable, capable of launching fierce flames to scorch enemies, Damage 15 - 20, consumes 5 points of mana."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, people kept passing by me, pointing and laughing at my ridiculous trap as they walked by. Just now, my teammates Baozi and Mint amplified their voices, deliberately exclaiming: "There are still such foolish people in the world, who actually think that a fox would jump into a roast chicken and get caught in a rope!"

Well... perhaps some might say, I already have a girlfriend! This... having a girlfriend does not hinder me from blind dating! These are completely different matters.

With a single stroke, a blood flower marked `` -80 '' floated above the head of the wild fox spirit, whose abilities were unknown. Just as the sixth flying knife was thrown, the fox transformed into a streak of white light, and before departing, it did not forget to convey with its gaze that NPCs also possess a sense of dignity, just like illustrations in books. The fox, in its disarray, surprisingly dropped a wooden talisman.

No matter what clumsy means are employed, what matters is achieving the goal This is a point I firmly believe in

It is quite inappropriate to date Ye Qingqing without informing my parents. I would also feel guilty about constantly going on blind dates. Having a girlfriend does not mean one cannot admire other beautiful women, but admiring other beautiful women does not necessarily mean I must cheat. In short, the men in this world are all... garbage, yet that does not prevent girls from recycling and reusing them.

In fact, the accuracy of the flying knives obtained from this task is quite poor; to date, I have yet to see any player hit this fox. However, when it comes to throwing the flying knives at the target, precision and such notions become unnecessary

According to the plan, this wonderful day of mine will come to an end in two months, and the job my parents found for me will soon require me to start working. Before that, I need to take care of certain undisclosed matters.

I have been playing with the picture book for two hours now, and I am starting to feel a bit hungry. Most importantly, I have very important matters to attend to today. My dear mother, for some reason, thinks that her precious son is too honest and might have trouble finding a wife. Therefore, right after my graduation, she arranged this grand event of a blind date for me.

Having listened to so many discussions, I have roughly understood the whereabouts of this wild fox. After leaving the village, I found a suitable place to set a trap and hid to wait for the fox spirit to appear. I do not believe it! This fox is ultimately a set of computer data; can it be more cunning than a real person?

Having just graduated, I am currently living alone in a newly rented studio apartment, which is rather simple. Aside from a bed, a table, a computer, and a few changes of clothes, there is nothing else in this room. While it is true that I am a man, it does not mean that my room must be cluttered with a lot of garbage. My little dwelling is quite tidy and organized. Of course, I won't claim that I excel at housework, but after all, I do have a girlfriend, don't I

Damn! This fox is indeed cunning! I silently cursed in my heart, yet maintained a calm demeanor

After much deliberation, I still believe that taking on the task of dealing with the cunning fox is the best choice. Many who have accepted this task have set out in groups, full of excitement, but most return dejected. I suspect that this fox cannot be defeated through sheer brute force.

This world is indeed as lonely as fireworks! I laughed heartily and logged off

Seeing that I had no reaction, gradually no one paid attention to me. When the people around me dispersed to seek their goals, a brightly colored red fox caught my eye. It saw the roasted chicken on the ground but did not immediately approach to sniff it. Instead, it cautiously looked around before slowly moving closer, although the snare encircling the chicken clearly made it apprehensive. The fox crouched low to the ground and suddenly opened its mouth to spit out a small fireball, which struck the chicken, igniting the surrounding grass and rope.

The tasks in this village are primarily designed to familiarize everyone with the operations and environment of Mount Shu. After conducting a thorough study, I completed several delivery missions, earning some modest experience points. Most importantly, after handing over my meager earnings to the purchasing NPC, I was able to buy a rope and a roasted chicken.

Tomorrow, I will be able to go to Mount Emei to seek a master! Just imagine, "Flying with the sword, entering the azure sky, chasing clouds and pursuing the moon, soaring thousands of miles..." What a wonderful day it will be! It is about to unfold

Upon my first arrival, I was filled with frustration. I wandered around the village and accepted all the tasks available before I began to contemplate how to leave the village. To join a sect in Mount Shu, one must head to the various sects' celestial mountains. The sect I admire the most, Emei, is a full seven thousand miles away from Qingcheng Mountain. Although Qingcheng Sect is relatively closer, in the game "The Legend of Shu Mountain," it is portrayed as a rather ineffective sect. Even though the game has balanced the strengths of the various sects, emotionally, I still prefer to seek the distant over the near.

What a good thing! I finally have a means to attack, even though my current mana is only ... ... Oh! After defeating this fox, I leveled up and now have 15 points of mana, allowing me to cast fire spells three times.

Indeed, upon discovering that my trap had been destroyed, the fox let out a sly chuckle and trotted off effortlessly to snatch the roasted chicken. At that moment, the ground suddenly erupted with dirt and stones, and a noose sprang up from the ground, ensnaring its hind leg and suspending it in mid-air

I do not possess many other virtues, but I have great patience. During my time at school, I developed feelings for my first girlfriend, Ye Qingqing. Many people said she was not suitable for me, and two seasoned romantics in my dormitory repeatedly warned me that my pursuit methods were too clichéd and that Ye Qingqing would not be moved. However, after three months of arduous pursuit, my patience clearly wore down Ye Qingqing's defenses, and a change in our feelings occurred almost unconsciously. Later, my friends expressed admiration for my persistence at that time.
