Chapter 315: Give me a break, damn it!


    After leaving the smallke, Lu Xun found a secluded ce to start iming his rich task rewards.


    Mao Nanbei and the others guarded him from a short distance to prevent anyone from disturbing him.


    At the same time, the four of them were still near Lotus Vige and hadn’t moved far from it.


    After destroying the altar, Lu Xun was worried that members of a foreign race might happen toe to investigate and vent their anger on the innocent vigers of Lotus Vige.


    In his eyes, the vigers weren’t NPCs, but real, living people.


    Before leaving, he nned to notify One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, make up an excuse, say that there were evil practitioners causing trouble around here, then have them send people to guard the ce.


    By then, when the foreign race discovered there were sword cultivators from these two major sword sects stationed here, they woulde to one conclusion:


    The altar was destroyed by the tworge Sword Sects!


    Killing two birds with one stone.


    Having sat down cross-legged, Lu Xun thought, “I’ll im the reward for destroying the altar first, then the reward for the promotion task.”


    This sequence is correct, because the reward for the promotion task is a 10% all-around attribute increase, so it’s naturally better to receive the reward for destroying the altar first.


    As a formerly hardcore gamer, he wouldn’t make such a basic mistake.


    Of course, there is also a time limit for iming rewards. If they are not imed within 24 hours, they will automatically be received and will not be saved indefinitely.


    Before collecting the rewards, Lu Xun specifically rubbed his hands together and used water attribute spiritual power to turn into a ball of clean water, with which he washed his face.


    “It’s time for the exciting moment of drawing Special Attribute Points again! Give me a damn break!” Lu Xun cursed internally.


    After preparing everything, Lu Xun clicked on the [im] button.


    “[Ding! You have received 7 Random Special Attribute Points!]”


    “[Ding! Random Special Attribute Points have been received. Do you want to start drawing?]”


    Seeing the prompt from the panel, Lu Xun fell silent.


    “This damn game, I knew it! It swallowed up the[Designated Special Attribute Points]!” Lu Xun cursed in his heart.


    The first time he destroyed the altar, although it was only about 80%plete, it rewarded 4 random attribute points and 1 designated attribute point.


    This time it suddenly became 7 points, but the points that can be designated were swallowed up.


    There was no way around it, Lu Xun’s Swordsmanship Aptitude was too high, as high as 6 points.


    Most professional yers couldn’t gather this high when they reached level 60.


    And the game’s bnce mechanism is actually quite simr to everyday cultivation for cultivators. After all, the higher realm cultivators reach in their cultivation, the harder it is to make a breakthrough.


    Special Attribute Points work the same way.


    When you have one hard Special Attribute Point reaching over 5 points, it bes much harder to get designated Special Attribute Points.


    It’s not that they can’t be obtained, just that it bes more difficult.


    However, attributes like[Luck Value]and[Charisma]don’t count as hard Special Attribute Points and won’t be affected by this.


    Fortunately, there will bepensation in other areas, like granting 1 random attribute point.


    “This damn game, let me say this again, don’t ever let me draw[Sword Dao Talent]!”


    A certain[Luck Value 1]and good-looking yer roared inwardly.


    Then, he chose[Draw].


    The big Roulette Wheel appeared in front of him, turning and turning, and then, 7 prompt messages popped out at once.


    Lu Xun tallied up his total gain, which included the following attributes:


    [Charm +2], [Knife Dao Talent +1], [Gun Aptitude +1], [Stick Aptitude +1], [Spiritual Power +1],[Array Aptitude +1]!


    “I did it! I really did it this time!” Lu Xun was ecstatic.


    These 7 points, although a mishmash of attributes, including both gun and stick aptitudes, each point was still quite good.


    Especially[Spiritual Power],[Array Aptitude], and[Charm], these three!


    Spiritual Power can help with the growth of his Divine Sense, Array Aptitude can assist his Five Elements Sword Formation, and Charm can help his Illusion Technique, as well as assist in hiding his own actual strength.


    They are all practical!


    Not drawing[Sword Dao Talent]was within his expectations. Getting these attributes that matched his own character was already a big win!


    “Actually, when you think carefully, these three special attributes actuallyplement each other.” Lu Xun mused internally.


    Having divine sense is necessary for using formations, andbining formations with illusion techniques…makes it simply superb!


    It’s absolutely loved by cunning old foxes!


    Not far off, Mao Nanbei cast a puzzled nce at Lu Xun, “What’s with our little junior brother? Didn’t he say he was going to seclude himself? Why is he alone over there, smiling so deviously?”


    Ji Li nced over and didn’t understand what he meant about a devious smile. From her perspective, his smile was just mesmorising, wasn’t it?


    Lin Chan followed their gaze, and seeing how happy their master was, she also happily chimed in.


    Mao Nanbei looked at the two dazed girls, tilting her small head, with her two cat ears drooping to one side. Her tiny mind was filled with massive question marks:


    “Don’t you guys think his smile is super sinister?”


    “Nope.” Ji Li replied.


    Lin Chan also shook her head along.


    Mao Nanbei:


    What sort of love potion had their little junior brother given them!?


    Elsewhere, their spectacle of interest, Lu Xun, had started tallying up his spoils of war.


    Besides the special attribute points, he’d also gained 7000 contribution points. Now, his total faction contribution points had reached 12187.


    “Gosh, even when I, the ‘Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero’, dominated the world in my previous life and reduced the foreign race to trembling fear, I never had such vast contribution points!” He eximed to himself.


    But it made sense. After therge-scale arrival of the foreign race, destroying altars would not be as straightforward.


    “By the time the version updates, these contribution points wille in handy.” Lu Xun was thinking and was quite excited about it.


    After sorting out his gains, Lu Xun shifted his focus onto the advancement mission.


    Along the way, he nced at the remaining amount of experience points on his panel.


    He previously had about four hundred thousand. Including the experience he received from ‘Moon in the Well’, as well as the experience he earned from eliminating the foreign race, it was enough for another level up.


    Completing the advancement mission posed many constraints.


    Ahead of the mission’spletion, you couldn’t level up even if you had the experience points.


    After thepletion of the mission, you couldn’t im your rewards. It was mandatory to level up to 31, reaching the firstyer of the Third Realm, before iming anything.


    And why such a setup?


    Because, when a cultivator breaks through to the Third Realm, they receive a baptism of nature’s spiritual energy. Simply put, tribtion crossing!


    One must undergo tribtion crossing at the Third, Sixth and Ninth Realms.


    Little loli probably went through her tribtion some time ago on that rear mountain.


    Tribtion Crossing, while not necessarily invoking a heaven-sent thunderbolt or throwing five thunders, still carried a certain degree of risk.


    The reward for advancing, however, ensured a 100% sess rate of crossing the tribtion, without bearing any risk.


    This reward allowed those metagaming yers an opportunity to show off.


    Before crossing their tribtions, normal cultivators get thoroughly prepared, have countless backups, and adjust themselves to the best possible state.


    All for that sense of security.


    But metagaming yers might throw away all their magical weapons, even take off their shirts and charge straight into the spiritual energy vortex!


    The more outrageous ones might even shout: “Let the storms hit harder!”


    Or perhaps: “My fate is in my hands, not dictated by heaven!”


    Being metagaming was not enough, they all strived to be as outrageous as possible.


    If this was still just a game, Lu Xun would have directly started tribtion crossing without the slightest hesitation.


    But after all, he was now in another world.


    His experiences over the past few years have taught him that it’s best not to mess with these things.


    More than that, he had chosen the path of Body Refining Sword, and his body nowpared to a Superior Spirit Sword.


    “I’ve never heard of a sword needing to cross a tribtion.” Lu Xun thought to himself, his expression bing more stern.
