There’s Something Wrong With This Account

The little girl’s mood swings were as quick as a flash.

She quickly realized that there was no point comparing herself with the Natural Sword Embryo. With such in mind, she immediately pulled Lu Xun and Lin Chan to join her in picking winter dates.

There were only two fruit trees in the entire backyard, both of which were date trees.

The things in the backyard were all somewhat mystical, as Lu Xun had once recovered his energy from the dates of these trees when he was constantly beaten up by his second senior sister’s Sword Intent.

He was feeling quite weak at the moment. Therefore, he picked the dates and ate several of them in a row.

The dates were sweet to the taste and made him feel refreshed, washing away his fatigue.

After picking a full basket of dates, the trio went to the bamboo forest to deliver some to the second senior sister. After that, they brought the rest back to the Small Study.

The third senior sat in his room, his narrow eyes seemingly analyzing something. The master, on the other hand, went to the headpeak of the Demon Sect, appearing to have some business with Shen Yan.

Subsequently, Lu Xun pulled out a chair and lounged in it with Mao Nanbei, enjoying the sunshine.

Noticing that Lin Chan had nothing to do, he said to her: “Little Chan, let me take a look at your Broken Sword Partridge Sky.”

Lin Chan pulled out the Broken Sword from her storage ring and handed it to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun did not take it. He was unable to wield the sword.

Although the Broken Sword was severely damaged, Lu Xun still felt that if things went south, he would likely be the one thrown away, not the sword.

Lu Xun was not confident he could repel Partridge Sky.

He didn’t want to perform a mid-air stunt in front of his disciple.

Especially if it involved him being thrown into the air with his bum sticking out.

Lu Xun was no longer the novice he once was. Now he was well aware of which swords he could manipulate and which ones he couldn’t touch.

He had grown into a mature Non-Swordbearer.

Hence, only the second senior sister and Mao Nanbei had seen him being thrown into the air before.

Lu Xun leaned in to take a closer look at the Broken Sword Partridge Sky. Its Sword Spirit was still quite weak, giving off a feeling that it was teetering on the brink of demise.

However, the rust on the sword seemed to have decreased significantly. If it was previously covered in rust, it now had at least one-third less.

It was apparent that Lin Chan’s daily practice of the Sword Cultivating Technique had helped Partridge Sky.

After examining it closely for a while and finding no other differences, Lu Xun asked: “Recently, have you encountered any problems while practicing the Sword Cultivating Technique?”

Lin Chan shook her head, indicating that everything was going smoothly.

In his memory, the first time Lin Chan appeared in “Heavenly Dust”, she was holding Yan Shu’s Wind Stabilizing Wave instead of Broken Sword Partridge Sky.

In other words, according to the normal plot progression, when Lin Chan was at Dengcang Mountain, The Sword Qi is Near didn’t extend an olive branch to her as it did this time. It’s likely that there was no Broken Sword on the mountain at that time.

He wasn’t sure if it was because the master was not on the mountain at that time or due to some other reason.

“But, why did The Sword Qi is Near choose Lin Chan this time?” Lu Xun wondered.

Compared to the normal progression of the plot, the biggest difference was… the sword sheath was now with him!

“Could it be that it was eager to leave Hidden Mountain due to the sword sheath?” When Lu Xun thought of this, he felt it was very possible.

The Sword Qi is Near was looking to leave the mountain to find a wife!

Indeed, being proud and aloof was satisfying for a moment, but it led to the torment of wife chasing.

Everyone shouldn’t learn from it. It’s a bad example.

After briefly enquiring about his disciple’s training status, Lu Xun squinted his eyes and pretended to be lazily sunbathing. In actuality, he was surfing the forum.

“Finally, the damn host updated the story after disappearing for three days!” The novel Lu Xun was following in the forum was finally updated.

However, he finished all the content in less than three minutes.

“It’s short! How the hell can it be so short?”

“It’s short, and then it ends abruptly!”

Lu Xun wished he could travel through the world to find the author and give him a good beating.

After reading the novel, Lu Xun switched to the forum’s homepage. Suddenly, his brows furrowed.

Because there was a huge poster on the forum homepage, with the words “Beta Test Advanced” and “Beta Test Countdown” on it!

“The beta test is advanced? What the hell!” Lu Xun was perplexed.

As per the normal timeline, there should still be about two years left, which equates to approximately two months on earth before the public beta test.

However, the countdown to the public beta now displayed 30 days!

“So in other words, in about 300 days, a large number of players will descend?” Lu Xun was dumbfounded.

If there were some deviations in the plot of Heavenly Dust Continent, he could understand them as an individual.

After all, the time-traveling butterfly effect caused by him had blown up a hurricane on the continent. That was only to be expected.

“But why has the timing of the public test changed as well?”

Do I have that much influence?

On Earth, it was just an advancement of a month, which was definitely good news for the players who are eagerly anticipating the game.

A bunch of crazy players were already shouting: “Prepare your tissue, the public restroom is coming!”

“Brothers! The public restroom is in sight! Let’s squat it!”

However, for Lu Xun, he felt like something was off.

And it felt way too off!

He began to ponder the nature of this world…

He remembered the glory of Heavenly Dust Continent the day the official beta test was launched- the Heavenly Dao Collapse!

Though it’s hard to say that there was definitely a huge conspiracy, there were certainly suspicions!

The more he thought, the more tangled his thoughts became, leading to a headache.

He decided to stay indoors rather than sunbathe outside, taking out two small booklets from his storage ring.

One of the booklets recorded some hidden plotlines he could remember, as well as some important major plotlines.

The other one recorded ways to “exploit players”. Whenever he had a fantastic idea on how to profit from players, he would note it down.

A good memory can’t beat a broken pen indeed!

When it came to scamming silly players, Lu Xun was always practical.

The news of the public test advancing definitely had an impact on Lu Xun. It disrupted his plans.

However, if we are to talk about whether it had detrimental or beneficial effects, the benefits undoubtedly outweighed the drawbacks!

The players, as one of his biggest golden fingers, the earlier they descended en masse, the better.

That way, he would have plenty of ways to continuously acquire experience points and various benefits.

But there is one major premise- he must always be one step ahead of the players in terms of power and other factors!

He must always be a useful NPC. Only then would the players stick with him doggedly.

Lu Xun opened the two booklets and began to scribble on them.

…

The headpeak of the Demon Sect was the highest peak of the sect. The master, donning a white robe, stood on the peak, staring at the sky as if he could see through it.

“Is it early?” He murmured to himself, a hint of confusion in his tone.

However, it seemed he quickly understood and continued: “Well, hasn’t it always been early?”
