There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 258: 258, Borrowing the Media for a Moment (Seeking a guaranteed monthly ticket, thanking the Alliance Hierarch of “Dao Cultivator for Longevity” for their reward!)

Translator: 549690339

Lu Xun, dressed in black robes, appeared before the four players. Despite being physically close, he elicited a sense of great distance.

Like that between a banished celestial being and a mortal.

His good looks verged on unreal, resembling a Sky God!

Cai Jiangjiang experienced mental shock once again. She tried hard to maintain her elegance, but the charm of the Purple Palace was irresistible.

Woman, the stars in your eyes betray you!

Lu Xun glanced at the four players. He was satisfied with the choices he made.

“Cai Jiangjiang, strategic mastermind, based on her past experiences, her strategic level in Heavenly Dust can definitely be ranked top three. She’s the dirtiest among strategic players but has the highest popularity.”

“Li Zuole, a professional player at the god-tier level with top-notch skills, one of the strongest future players. A notorious playboy in the esports circle, having unclear relationships with numerous female streamers. Yet, countless female streamers fling themselves at him for the popularity he could bring.”

“Wang Gangtie, a straight-up man with a resilient will. All he knows is fighting and is unaffected by any external factors, environment, or emotions. Looking through his gaming career, there’s no romantic history, not even a gaming couple. As one of the strongest tanks in Heavenly Dust, he’s known as the toughest guy in the game. He’s capable of holding the fort alone in the late game.”

“Xiao Guangming, a master assassin, professional bush lurker, and a divine level dogged player. His surprise attacks never follow the conventional ways. Under the right conditions, his power could exceed Li Zuole. This man’s frontal combat power isn’t lacking either and was called by jokester players as a Berserker that resembles an assassin the most.”

This is Lu Xun’s brand-new “harem members”!

Looking at the tension and expectation in their eyes, he felt satisfied.

Clearly, they are eager to become my Sword-Serving Child.

Lu Xun looked at them and said, “You guys are good.”

Upon hearing this, the four of them showed joy.

Although we don’t know what the selection standard of the Purple Palace is, based on what we see now, have we been chosen by the Purple Palace?

“Are you willing to become my Sword-Serving Child?” Lu Xun asked.

Having said that, he sent out a notification through the NPC template.

A prompt message immediately popped up before the four of them:

“[Do you want to become Lu Xun’s Sword-Serving Child?]”

The four of them chose[Yes]without any hesitation.

The player template displayed a detailed[Faction]distribution. Therefore, they discovered there were already Sword-Serving Children who joined the Purple Palace before them!

These two were none other than Mo Guanji and Han Bagui, who had shown outstanding performances in the Outer Sect competition!

However, the former was noticeable because he somehow managed to level up fast despite his poor performance, winning by the skin of his teeth and leaving people speechless.

The latter because of his strong combat awareness, fast levelling, and managing to claim second place thus attracting attention.

“These two sure kept a low profile!” was the first thought that came to the minds of the four.

And, as Lu Xun had predicted, Mo Guanji’s ineptitude served as great motivation.

“Mo Guanji is so incompetent, yet he’s achieved so much. If these resources were bestowed upon me, wouldn’t I ascend right where I stand?”

This also indirectly highlights the unimaginable benefits the Purple Palace could provide to their players…too much to envisage!

If all goes as expected, it seems we’ve hitched a ride to success!

Lu Xun looked at them and continued, “Alright, I hope you will practice diligently in the future. Don’t disappoint me.”

Having said that, he turned and left without a trace.

In reality, Lu Xun was hiding nearby, observing their reactions.

“Oh? The Purple Palace has left as quickly as he appeared?” Xiao Guangming was the first to speak, looking puzzled. “Shouldn’t there be a ceremony for the admission of a Sword-Serving Child? Isn’t this a bit hasty?”

Wang Gangtie stood beside him, his fists clenched tight. “Why does it feel like you’re kind of slow? We’re Sword-Serving Children, not direct disciples of the Purple Palace. What high treatment are you expecting?”

Xiao Guangming glanced at him and said, “Please, you’re built like a tower. The idea of you calling yourself a ‘Child’ gives me the creeps!”

Cai Jiangjiang said nothing and was daydreaming, staring in the direction where Lu Xun disappeared.

It was the notorious playboy, Li Zuole, who broke the silence, “I wonder, do any of you still have unfinished Faction tasks?”

“Yes, I haven’t chopped my Spirit Bamboo today!” Wang Gangtie responded.

“Then you should check if the reward for the task has changed.” Li Zuole suggested.

“Alrighty then! Let me check!” said Wang Gangtie.

“Oh? I’ll take a look too.” Xiao Guangming joined excitedly.

Cai Jiangjiang was still quite smitten, still savouring the moment.

It wasn’t long before Xiao Guangming exclaimed, “My task reward has increased by 500 Experience Points!”

Wang Gangtie’s eyes, as large as copper bells, widened even more before he said,

“Mine too!”

Li Zuole turned to Cai Jiangjiang, “Jiangjiang, wake up, come on!”

“Huh? Wh…what’s up?” Cai Jiangjiang seemed as if she were in another world.

“Check if there’s any change in your sect task.” Li Zuole reminded her.

“Ah…Oh sure.” Cai Jiangjiang nodded and immediately opened the task interface.

The next moment, she covered her mouth dramatically and gasped, “I’ve received an additional 500 Experience Points reward!”

“Me too!” Wang Gangtie repeated.

“Didn’t you just say that?” Xiao Guangming gave him a look.

“Can’t I say it again?” Wang Gangtie punched his shoulder forcefully.

“Could it be… Could it be that we got an extra reward because we’ve become Sword-Serving Children of the Purple Palace?” Cai Jiangjiang blinked her watery big eyes at the other three, guessing.

“Definitely.” Li Zuole nodded affirmatively.

Every Demon Sect player has a limited number of sect tasks they can undertake each day, with a maximum of three outer sect tasks.

If each task rewarded an extra 500 Experience Points, they would gain 1500 more points a day than other players!

This number, especially for beginner players like them, was a pretty substantial benefit.

Especially under the condition of daily accumulation, they could greatly expand this advantage during the early stages of the game!

With this alone, they could outdo most players in terms of Experience Points!

Furthermore, who knew what other benefits lay in store?

Like teaching the Sword-Serving Children some skills, wouldn’t be too far-fetched, right?

When we reach the Initial Realm, would it be possible for us to get a Cultivation Technique?

We have not just caught a fast train, we’re on a rocket!

Originally, being part of the Purple Palace was already a prestigious status, but now it seems like the benefits are much more than they could’ve imagined!

It seems like their professional careers are about to take a turn for the better!

All four of them were part of a guild, backed by professional gaming teams. They would definitely reveal their identities soon and announce to the world that they are now part of the Purple Palace!

For them, it meant exposure and increased popularity, which also equated to income.

At the same time, their status and influence within their guild and club would also enhance!

All four of them couldn’t stop smiling.

Lu Xun, who was hiding in the shadows, watched them with a slight nod of approval.

Their posts on the forums were precisely what he needed.

He still had to use these Sword-Serving Children’s voices from time to time.

Heh, that was just a literal translation.

Meanwhile, someone else had already rushed towards the back mountain of the Demon Sect and stopped in front of the prohibitions.
