Chapter 5, The Person on the Eaves

Indeed, this kind of communication is akin to text messages in our reality, but it should not be like a phone call

Oh, then I won't disturb you any longer. I'm leaving; you can continue to wait! I'm going to practice!

Of course, it is about leveling up; how can one survive in the game without leveling up

How to get in touch

The lively crowd before me stirred a wave of excitement in the wind, after a whole day of busyness, this can be considered as encountering a real person

A sword soared into the sky, accompanied by the sound of the wind. After a few leaps, I arrived at a street. "Just follow this road to the city gate; that place is suitable for you newcomers to practice. Once you reach level 10, you can look for a sect to learn their martial arts. When you have free time, go online and take a look; there are many people teaching how to play there"

In theory, it is not possible, but as the most accomplished young person in our village's history, you will need assistance in the future. The entire village is duty-bound to support you, after all, our village has existed for a very long time...

Aren't you just on the street, and can still have a certain road like we usually do, number so-and-so!

Ah, someone who frequently visits the internet café to play games would not typically be dressed so neatly and have such well-groomed hair

You can find their names in the same way as using QQ, and then simply add them as friends

What level are you at

I just started playing today, and we haven't had the chance to ask each other's names yet

This, I am wearing a "Ranger's Robe," which is clothing specifically for swordsmen. The sword I use is called the "Seven Absolute Whirlwind Sword." I originally trained under the Wudang Sect, but now I have ventured out into the martial world. What just brought you up here is our Wudang's famous lightness skill, "He Tu Shu Ti Yun Zong." There are many other martial arts, mental techniques, and internal skills, too numerous to mention. If I were to list them all, you wouldn't be able to remember, and I am too lazy to elaborate!

Well, it seems that my question was too broad. What are you doing now

It can be said that a level is not necessarily low, but in this game, level alone does not determine everything; martial arts and equipment are more important. The level can be considered, to some extent, merely a means to obtain higher-level equipment and martial arts.

I still haven't seen the square

Damn, they didn't even tell me which internet café it is, am I supposed to go look for ghosts! Ye Kai cursed inwardly, helplessly taking out his phone for one last effort, knowing full well that the hope was slim. The three of them had always claimed that they could not let worldly distractions disturb their ascetic practice in the game, so they never turned on their devices while playing. And outside of gaming hours, they were always sleeping, which meant they could not be disturbed at all. In summary, they never turned on their phones.

Ah, village chief, I still have to continue my journey, please send me on my way quickly! Just take me to any place you find suitable!

Where to practice

You can still contact them in the game

Of course, I have been running an internet café for several years. I can not only tell that you are preparing for an all-nighter, but I can also see that you probably did not play online games frequently in the past

As the light flickered, I found myself in a vast square; its true size was indeterminate due to the overwhelming number of people.

He then took out a small knife from his pocket, saying, "This knife is for you. I have kept it since I was a beginner practicing my skills and never had the heart to throw it away. This is a flying knife, a type of concealed weapon, most suitable for beginners to practice with. It can be used to strike from a distance, making it less dangerous."

Hearing your words, I can tell you are an expert. Please teach me what I should do now

Sigh, such a considerate child, it truly pains me to let you go! Alright, I won't say much more, you may leave!" Before the words had even finished, the scene had already flashed, and Feng Xiaoxiao had left the village.

Feng Xiaoxiao then took a serious look at this stranger. He was dressed differently from most people, with long hair tied back with a headscarf. His clothing resembled a modified version of work attire, and he had a sword slung diagonally at his waist, which was clearly of a higher quality than those of the female heroes, as his sword was sheathed.

This is difficult to express in words; why not come up and take a look yourself!" With that, the person leaped down, grabbed the wind, and jumped back onto the roof eaves, then made another leap to the rooftop of a nearby taller building.

Newcomers can practice as soon as they leave the city gate; there are many things along the roadside and in the woods that you can fight.

After circling a few times, Feng Xiaoxiao's excited emotions gradually calmed down. To put it bluntly, this square is just a large marketplace! No wonder there are so many people. However, this city is quite large, as Feng Xiaoxiao had only taken a few steps away from the square and was already lost.

The wind howled, and I truly wished to slap the village chief down to the ground.

The system will soon prompt that "One Sword Soars to the Sky" has added you as a friend. The voice of "One Sword Soars to the Sky" also sounds in your ear: "Alright, added! You add me too!"

Well, I will escort you down

The helpless Ye Kai, after finishing his noodles, returned to the internet café he had just left an hour ago. As soon as the owner saw Ye Kai, he beamed with joy, "You're back again! Are you planning to stay up all night?"

What is the highest level in this game

Suddenly recalling something, I hurriedly spat out the mouthful of noodles and rushed out the door, but the three of them had already vanished. It seems that although they were relatively calm inside the room, once they stepped outside, they took off in a frenzy; otherwise, how could they have disappeared so quickly

Oh, thank you very much, I am leaving now, goodbye

What kind of clothes are you wearing, what weapon are you using, and what martial arts are you practicing

Can I come back after I leave

Oh no, it seems like I've become foolish in the game

The wind is now weaving through several streets, as this area is predominantly residential, with most buildings sharing a similar architectural style, making it nearly impossible to distinguish one from another

A Kai thought about the three in the dormitory, and it really was the case. "Boss, are there any more machines available!"

Do you not have any friends? Did you not come to play with friends?

Akai, with his mouth full of noodles, intended to finish quickly so as not to keep the three waiting anxiously. However, he did not expect that the three had no intention of waiting for him and were about to leave, so he could only nod in acknowledgment

After running a few laps, Feng Xiaoxiao finally saw a person sitting on the eaves ahead. He hurried over and asked, "May I ask where this is?"

That person looked at Feng Xiaoxiao strangely, and after seeing Feng Xiaoxiao's attire, nodded in understanding and said: "This is Xiangyang City, one of the major cities."

Wow, it is truly thrilling; what excites Feng Xiaoxiao even more is that there are quite a few people dressed like laborers, just like himself, and many of them are carrying Uncle Li's legendary axe, making it feel like a gathering of the Axe Gang

Hehe, you don't need to thank me. I'm not usually this helpful; it's just that I'm in a really good mood today. Goodbye!" After saying this, he jumped a few times and disappeared again

Isn't it just gone if you throw it away

Can we go anywhere

The crowd consisted of individuals draped in cloaks and wearing straw hats; some were dressed in village chief robes, wielding paper fans; others donned bronze armor, carrying long spears; there were also those with shaved heads wrapped in cassocks; and many female heroes, clad in form-fitting attire, with a gleaming sword slung diagonally across their backs

We are waiting!

Then that's not possible, I can only take you to a few cities around our village

Boss, you seem to know quite a bit!

Ha, generally speaking, this is the case. However, this particular one cannot be exhausted; in the game, it is referred to as automatic replenishment. After all, it is still a game! There are indeed some elements that do not conform to the laws of reality

After adding each other as friends, Feng Xiaoxiao asked: "Now I can contact you anytime?"

Now at level 60

Thank you very much, my name is Feng Xiaoxiao

There is no highest, only higher

There is, your device is still unused since you left, you should go there!

Alright, good child, from now on you will walk the world, but do not bring shame to our village, after all, our village has a long history...

Ancient people said: "To gain a broader perspective, one must ascend another level!" This statement is absolutely correct, for there is no additional level to ascend in the surroundings. Thus, with the wind howling, one could not see further and consequently could not find the square or the illustrations.

In the game, Feng Xiaoxiao is still in the novice village, having just been overwhelmed by a few "ding ding ding" sounds, forgetting everything and not having left yet

Of course, the square is behind you; you need to turn around to see it

Is it considered high

Oh, how did you figure it out

"Hehe, at first glance, I can tell you are not someone who plays games often. In fact, modern games are just like our daily lives; how you are in real life should reflect how you are in the game. People like you always forget some common sense when entering a game!" said the stranger with a smile.

Um! A Kai responded and returned to his familiar window. He entered the game

Indeed, how can I return to that crowded square now

He went directly to find the village chief, who once again expressed his affirmation of his achievements in a gentle manner. After providing him with moral support for his future, the chief inquired about where he wished to go

Village chief, rest assured, I will not bring shame to our village. Oh dear, there are more people coming to our village over there. I won't take up any more of your time, and you need not remind me again. Please see me off, come, let us go!

Dizzy, what is your name? I would like to add you as a friend. If there is anything you do not understand, feel free to ask me at any time

Feng Xiaoxiao turned around, and a stranger stood behind him. Behind the stranger were several streets, and beyond those streets, he indeed saw a bustling square.

A beautiful female voice came from the phone, speaking English with a fluency that was much clearer than that of a listening comprehension test, announcing the shattering of Ye Kai's fantasies

So where am I in the city now

Then it is certain, what should I do now

They are indeed there, but they went to the internet café first, and I couldn't find them
