After My Favorability Level Is Up to the Top

C32 – Fuck! It Was Her!

Liu Yuan had only learned a few techniques in the game, but his balanced attributes allowed him to perform more. Most players would learn as many techniques as they could when they were newbies.

Although they might not manage them all, there was no harm in giving it a try.

The game was set this way so that the players could have more fun and try more new things at the beginning of the game.

This proved to be quite helpful to Liu Yuan now, because he was familiar with all the skills and techniques he had learned before.

He would lose these skills once his attributes changed anyway, so he might as well teach them to others and do them a favor.

After Liu Yuan had finished checking Xue Zhui’s constitution, he taught him a beginner skill called the Thunder Constraint. This skill had a strong explosive force when it was first released and was very swift and overbearing. However, it couldn’t last long and had to be replaced with a stronger skill later on.

But he would worry about it later.

The most important thing right now was to help Xue Zhui become stronger, so he could be of use one day.

“Remember, this cultivation method is extremely powerful. After you master it, all of your meridians would contain the power of thunder, and your spiritual energy would be full of the strength of lightning. Your attack would be deadly, but at the same time, it would cause great damage to yourself, so you must not use it unless you have to.”

Xue Zhui nodded.

Liu Yuan had a serious look on his face, “Water Moon Dock only uses you, and the cultivation techniques that they give you are only basic ones for outer-sect servants. You might not be able to achieve anything even if you practice those for ages.”

“This Thunder Constraint, however, is a secret cultivation technique of the famous Thunder Constraint Sect, and your physique is a rare combination of the water attribute and mutated thunder attribute, very compatible with this technique, so it’s a lot easier for you to cultivate it. If you are lucky enough to find the suitable Thunder Source, you will be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage in just three days!”

Xue Zhui was so overwhelmed by excitement when he heard this that he almost knelt to Liu Yuan. He immediately said, “Thank you, Senior! Thank you so much! I don’t know how I can ever repay your kindness. I promise, once I’ve mastered this technique and improved my strength, I will do everything I can to fight the evil!”

Such a hot-blooded young man!

Liu Yuan thought to himself. Sure enough, this Xue Zhui was still very young and naïve and hadn’t experienced much, and thus he would easily fall for others’ lies.

Perhaps that was exactly why Devil Cult chose Xue Zhui to be the pawn.

Liu Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said, “Good. Go back and cultivate properly. Remember, no one else must know about this, otherwise you might be in trouble. You are not strong enough at the moment, so you must learn to hide your true strength and bide your time. Also, one crucial thing about cultivating this skill is…”

“Senior, I will definitely do my best!” Xue Zhui clenched his fist; he couldn’t wait.

Liu Yuan waved his hand and continued, “I am very glad that you are willing to work hard at it, but the most important thing for you right now is to go to the Jiuyuan Mountain Range and try your luck there. Go southwest, and in two days, you will find the opportunity to change your life.”

Xue Zhui was puzzled, “But the Jiuyuan Mountain Range is very dangerous…”

Liu Yuan seemed quite firm, “I can’t say much. The secret of your fate must not be revealed. If you want to take control of your own life, do as I say.”

Hearing this, Xue Zhui was deep in thought and muttered to himself, “Take control of my own life… I got it, Senior!”

Determined, he turned around and left, heading to the mountain range.

Liu Yuan nodded, but in fact he had not the slightest idea what Xue Zhui planned to do.

Anyway, there was a large thunder pool in the southwest the Jiuyuan Mountain Range. With the Thunder Constraint Technique, Xue Zhui would attract thunder and lightning.

Once hit by thunder, Thunder Constraint would be activated and he would be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage in no time.

This method was fast, but it was quite painful for the cultivator, physically speaking.

So personally Liu Yuan did not want to try it.

However, he’d be happy if other people could try it for him.

When Ma Shu brought Xue Zhui to see his superior in Devil Cult, Liu Yuan could spy on them and see what they were planning to do. He’d be the last winner.

The only thing Liu Yuan was worried about was that senior of Devil Cult, who was said to be coming here.

“Whatever. There’s always a solution for the problem. I’ll just have to try my best and do my part, and leave the rest to god.”

Liu Yuan sighed. It was impossible for him to predict everything and have everything under control, but at least he could do his best.

In fact, he had thought of another person that he could make use of.

That was Gu Chang, the one and only legal heir to Pool Feather Mountain Manor, as well as the illegitimate grandson of Gu Feidao, Gu Siyin’s nephew.

As mentioned earlier, that nine-year-old child was not simple.

To be specific, he would turn out to be an important character in the future.

There was only one main storyline in the Upper Central widely known among the players. But there was another very obscure one — that was the story of Gu Chang.

At first, players did not realize the importance of Gu Chang.

He was just a nobody. Players would occasionally receive missions somehow related to him, but mostly they were just missions of little significance.

Only later on did players understand just how crucial this character was.

A long time after the story of Novice Village ended, Pool Feather Mountain Manor was destroyed in a huge fire. Those who survived the fire moved away, and the Black Tortoise Treasure Trove was buried in the ruins, never to be found.

When Gu Chang appeared again, he was already a young rogue cultivator with the alias Gu Cang.

And he had the Black Tortoise Treasure Trove.

Liu Yuan scratched his head, “That guy’s favorability points couldn’t be increased easily, otherwise I would definitely get it maxed out.”

In fact, Gu Chang, or Gu Cang, was the biggest boss in the game.

Also known as the [Devilish Taoist].

“Now Gu Chang should have just come into contact with the crippled Eight-armed Heavenly Devil… It could be dangerous, but I can have a try.”

The so-called Eight-armed Heavenly Devil was actually the Eight-armed God named “Luo Tian” that Devil Cult worshiped. However, he was not a god, but a devil.

This mission sounded dangerous, but Liu Yuan was not taking any risks this time.

That devil was disabled for sure. According to what the players had found out, Eight-armed Heavenly Devil barely had any cultivation base at the moment. That was why he wanted to take Gu Chang away.

Liu Yuan made up his mind and headed towards the Silver Bottle Alley where Gu Chang was living.

Gu Feidao had yet to bring this grandson of his back to Pool Feather Mountain Manor, so this little child was currently living with his mother, who was a prostitute.

Liu Yuan headed east from the main road outside Pool Feather Mountain Manor and eventually arrived at the nearest town.

Quite different from Creek Town, this one was bustling with noise and excitement, and there were a lot of shops along the streets.

Liu Yuan was just wandering about when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman wearing a black veil. The veil was swaying and the bell on her was making a melodious sound.

He paused as his heart skipped a beat.

Wait, why did she look so familiar?

…

When Liu Yuan saw the favorability bar above the woman’s head, he instantly froze, his eyes wide with shock.

Fuck! It was her!!
