There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 415: 415.【Must not drop the Favorability】

“Sword Fate” is a rather mysterious concept, and Lu Xun himself only has a partial understanding of it.

According to some memories from his previous life, it is said that when a “Natural Sword Embryo” cultivates to a certain state, it can garner the effect of “Sword Fate Support”.

By the time of his transmigration in his past life, Little Chan had already matured and become a Great Cultivator, ten “Explosive Temper Great Cane Heroes” combined could not be a match for Lin Chan.

And at that time, it seemed like Lin Chan had already half stepped into the realm of “Sword Fate”.

“But I’m only at level 39 right now!” Lu Xun was puzzled.

Even when acquiring “Swordsmanship Aptitude”, it forcibly enhances your Sword Dao realm, but it should not directly lead to stepping into the realm of “Sword Fate”.

“This account really is toxic.” Lu Xun felt there were still many secrets he needed to explore, possibly even his own transmigration hides some mysteries.

He now looked at his role panel and checked the specific effect of “Sword Fate Support”.

According to the detailed introduction, Lu Xun gained a specific understanding of this buff.

“Effective Range: Eastern Region, West State.”

“Duration: Permanent.”

“Support Effect: Sword Dao Strength Enhancement of 30%!”

“Additional Effect: Friend Sword Cultivators within a certain range of you get a 5% Group Output Enhancement!”

Looking at the buff effects, Lu Xun couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

“Is it really this top-notch?” he said.

Truthfully, a 30% effect is not outrageous, but it definitely cannot be considered low.

Some “Skills” can achieve similar effects, but they only last for a limited time and often require a certain level of sacrifice.

Take, for example, the “Broken Sword Technique,” which Lu Xun has not used so far.

“Broken Sword Technique” comes from “Partridge Sky”, it’s a sword technique that trades life for output, Lu Xun would definitely not use it unless absolutely necessary.

And the effect brought about by the “Broken Sword Technique” is absolutely not as simple as 30%.

Therefore, what shocked Lu Xun was not the value, but the range of enhancement.

Since it says “Sword Dao Strength Enhancement of 30%”, that means a comprehensive enhancement.

Anything associated with Sword Dao, like Sword Qi, Sword Heart, Sword Intent, Sword techniques… all would get a 30% enhancement!

This is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two, these things are complementary, if all of them get an upgrade, the final effect is absolutely astonishing!

“I need to experience this in actual combat, but I think my overall combat power will probably double!” Lu Xun speculated in his heart.

“No wonder that in the past life, Ye Sui’an, the Innate Sword Body, couldn’t hold his head high in front of Lin Chan, the Natural Sword Embryo. This ‘Sword Fate’ alone is a huge obstacle!” Lu Xun thought.

This is not to say that an Innate Sword Body couldn’t touch the realm of “Sword Fate”, but Ye Sui’an at that time obviously hadn’t got a clue, whereas Lin Chan already had one foot in the door.

“If I were to use Ye Sui’an as a unit of measurement, I think I can now beat at least 2.5 Ye Sui’ans!” Lu Xun estimated conservatively.

What he’s more curious about now is, what exactly is the range of this “Sword Fate Support” additional effect?

The details state that within a certain distance, friendly Sword Cultivators not far from him can get a 5% output boost!

This is actually a group buff enhancement!

Though 5% may not be much, if it were in a group battle, the potential gains would be extremely terrifying.

“Wow! Now in addition to being a healer, I can also give people a buff!” Lu Xun felt that this feature must be tested out.

But where can I find some guinea pigs?

Hey, aren’t there two little rabbits outside?

And so, Lu Xun stood up and started walking towards the entrance of the cave.

…

…

Outside the cave, the mist had long since dispersed.

Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Long Bao were no longer frolicking and continued to solemnly guard Lu Xun.

“Whoo—” A breeze blew by, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared in front of them.

The sunlight shone from behind him, passing through his wind-blown black hair, as if it were shredded, reflecting on their faces.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Lu Xun said gently.

“Ah! It’s no bother, no bother at all!” Xiao Long Bao quickly waved his hand, absolutely enraptured by the indescribably handsome man before him.

Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Xun, noticing his aura was concealed, making it impossible to tell he had just leveled up.

But in reality, there had been considerable commotion earlier. She and Xiao Long Bao had scrolled through forums for ages; posts related to Lu Xun were everywhere, nearly causing the forum servers to explode!

This reminded her of her older brother who had boldly declared that he would become famous in various games and then make a fortune.

Now, this man who shared the same name and surname as her brother, was indeed the most popular NPC in the entire ‘Heavenly Dust’ game.

Seeing the two women, Lu Xun directly handed them their quest.

“I wanted to gift each of you a Magical Weapon, but I don’t have anything suitable on me right now. Check the Treasury Pavilion in a few days,” Lu Xun said with a smile.

“Oh, we couldn’t possibly!” Xiao Long Bao immediately replied, “Thank you, Elder Lu!”

Lu Xun: “…”

You really are a drama queen, acting out the entire scene all by yourself.

Since the quest was already handed in, Lu Xiaoyu and Xiao Long Bao gained 150,000 Experience Points.

The two quickly opened their profiles and found that they could level up!

Right now, both Xiao Long Bao and Lu Xiaoyu were at level 26, so it didn’t take many Experience Points to level up. After all, it was probably only Lu Xun and some four-footed gold-gobbling beast in the whole world that could consume so much experience.

When they opened their character profiles, they were surprised to find that they had mysteriously gained an extra Buff Enhancement!

The two checked the details, then exchanged a glance and looked at Lu Xun in shock.

[Sword Dao Buff Enhancement from Lu Xun: Character output increased by 5%].

[Enhancement Duration: Unlimited].

[Enhancement Area: Buff Enhancement is effective within a certain range of Lu Xun. If you exceed this range, the buff is lost].

“Is… Is this what it means to be the World Protagonist?” Xiao Long Bao and Lu Xiaoyu thought simultaneously.

That’s terrifying! We get stronger just by standing next to him!?

Although neither of them were professional players, they were far from gaming novices.

Therefore, they understood that while 5% might not seem like much, if there are enough players, the effect is absolutely horrifying!

Simply put, if their guild ‘One Night Fish and Dragon Dance’ held group monster hunts, having Lu Xun with them as opposed to not having him might mean a world of difference.

Subsequently, they started sneakily testing the buff’s range limit.

“Little Fish, I think I dropped my money pouch in the forest earlier. Let’s go look for it.” Xiao Long Bao suggested, winking.

“Huh?” Lu Xiaoyu was taken aback, then replied, “Oh, okay.”

Following that, Lu Xun watched as they excitedly strode into the forest.

“That was a poor excuse.”

Lu Xun chuckled. He had seen right through them and, silently used his Divine Sense to sense their presence.

The two women stopped when they were just less than one mile away from Lu Xun.

They took several steps backward and forward, apparently enjoying this experiment.

“I guess this is their maximum distance for now,” Lu Xun guessed.

Looking at it, the waveform coverage is slightly smaller than what his Mist Sword can reach.

“But it’s good enough,” Lu Xun felt it was satisfactory.

At this moment, the two girls in the forest were chattering away excitedly.

“Little Fish, why don’t we stick with the Purple Palace for a while? As long as we’re by his side, even monster hunting becomes easier!” Xiao Long Bao suggested.

“What if… we annoy him?” Lu Xiaoyu asked.

“Oh, just have thick skin, hehe!” Xiao Long Bao showed an ‘I don’t care’ expression.

She held Lu Xiaoyu’s hand as they walked and said, “Anyway, the Purple Palace seems easy-going. At most, we’ll just lose some NPC Favorability, it’s not a big deal.”

Lu Xiaoyu hesitated at those words.

She didn’t voice her thoughts, but an odd idea popped up in her mind:

“But… I don’t want to lose Favorability.”
