Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 90: Everyone Has a Bright Future

In the far west.

Vast forests, roaring rivers.

Between the mountains and ridges, waterfalls hang high, mist billows and roars, creating a colorful bridge.

A player with the ID "3D Zone Can't Be Without Tifa" crouched at the edge of a cliff, carefully looking down at the deep pool below, hesitating whether to jump.

According to the latest strategy on the forum, nine out of ten cliffs hide unparalleled secret techniques. The last one not only has secret techniques, but also the beloved Celestial Immortal-like female cultivator.

Many players have tried it and exclaimed on the forum that there really are unparalleled secret techniques at the bottom of the cliff, calling on other players to give it a try.

According to the game setting, in the Nine States World, seven days make up one cycle. Within each cycle, players have three chances to resurrect, regardless of whether they have been used or not, they will be reset in the next cycle.

After the first death, resurrection occurs three seconds later; after the second death, resurrection occurs one hour later; after the third death, resurrection occurs one day later, and so on...

After seven days, it's not about being fearless, but about being afraid of losing experience.

The resurrection point is the same as the original location. Wherever one dies, they will crawl back up from there. Currently, the only known punishment is the loss of experience. The amount and method of loss will be indicated on the player's personal panel and deducted accordingly after judgment.

In other words, if a player has the misfortune of dying three times in a row, it is possible for them to lose a level.

This kind of punishment is nothing to novice players, it's just experience, as if they had any.

Since there is no loss, players can go all out. Climbing mountains and jumping off cliffs immediately became the first choice for changing fate in the comments section. Perhaps, maybe, by chance, they might really find an unparalleled secret technique at the bottom of the cliff.

"Just give it a try, it's free anyway. If I can't climb back up, I'll just abandon this account."

"3D Zone Can't Be Without Tifa" tightened his belt and chose the difficult mode at the start. His birthplace was an endless forest. He groped around for half an hour but failed to encounter the solitary demon living in the wilderness. His foot slipped and he hit a stone with his head, losing a precious resurrection chance.

Unable to find a master, he thought about leaving the mountains first and headed towards the foot of the mountain.

As he walked, he arrived at the edge of a cliff and waterfall.

"I was clearly walking towards the foot of the mountain, but unexpectedly ended up at the mountaintop. I understand now, everything is the arrangement of fate!"

"3D Zone Can't Be Without Tifa" glanced at the deep pool again, turned his head, and shivered all over. It was too high. In the immersive holographic game, he stood there for a while but didn't dare to jump down.

Because of the protection mechanism in the game warehouse, players would receive reduced pain, and the reduction ratio would be triggered automatically.

In terms of leisure and daily life, players can adjust the degree of pain reduction according to their personal preferences.

During battles, the weakening of pain cannot be changed.

For example, players can eat a bunch of chili peppers and the next day, they will be in excruciating pain, unable to walk properly. They can be chased and beaten by seven or eight senior sisters, stomped on the ground, rolling in pain. But if they unexpectedly receive ten or so knife wounds, even the toughest guy wouldn't flinch.

Therefore, in the 3D zone, it is impossible to be without Tifa's dilemma. It's not about death and pain, but about the realistic graphics being too high that one dares not to jump.

After a while, after mentally preparing himself, he took a deep breath and turned towards the forest, saying, "It's not a big deal, it's just a secret martial arts manual. I'll just take a stroll and maybe I'll come across a cave."

Just as he said that, a sinister wind blew towards him. In the 3D zone, Tifa slipped and before he could even make a sound, he fell flat on the water.

Based on the height, the water surface of the deep pool was no different from a cement floor, and he lost his second chance at revival in pain.

Half an hour later, Tifa climbed up the shore in the 3D zone, feeling the cold wind, freezing his lips to turn blue, and his life points continuously decreasing.

Seeing that his third chance at revival was about to slip away, he couldn't help but curse the people who built the cliff, no wonder they all said that it was good to jump off a cliff. It turns out that after coming down, one can't find a way back up. He didn't expect to be the only unlucky one, so he posted on the forum to let everyone know not to be fooled. There are no girls under the cliff, only the secret martial arts manual of unparalleled skills.

"A group of morally corrupt guys, all they know is to make up lies and deceive people. I'm going to the forum right now to tell everyone not to be fooled. There are no girls under the cliff, only the secret martial arts manual."

"Hehehehe—"

Strange laughter sounded in his ears, and Tifa in the 3D zone felt a tremor throughout his body, and everything in front of him became completely dark.

[You have encountered possession, your soul scattered, account being deleted...]

"What the hell, possession...?"

On the other side, the old demon who possessed "Tifa in the 3D zone" was active in his new body, his eyes emitting a red glow, and a large amount of gray smoke surging around him.

"Hehehe, with this undying body, I no longer fear the heavenly calamity!"

The old demon laughed heartily. Early this morning, he discovered an ordinary mortal outside the Cave Mansion. With just a flick of his finger, he made the person slip and crack their head.

It was a little amusement in his free time that made him see the possibility of transcending the heavenly calamity.

A mortal with weak spiritual energy, after dying and coming back to life, had a face that seemed as if nothing had happened. He seemed indifferent, as if death was just an everyday occurrence. After experiencing so much, his thoughts had become indifferent.

Out of caution, the old demon did not immediately take action. Suppressing his excitement, he followed behind Tifa in the 3D zone. When he saw Tifa hesitating to jump off the cliff, he flicked his finger again.

This time, the revival took longer. The old demon patiently waited, confirming that there really was a physical body that could transcend the boundaries of life and death. Without hesitation, he decided to possess it.

"For now, this body is still somewhat fragile. Challenging the heavenly calamity directly would be unwise. I'll return to the mountain and make proper preparations..."

The old demon stopped speaking halfway, pondered for a moment, and then clenched his hand, causing the water in the pool to freeze and turn into an ice knife in his palm. "Let's test my immortality first and see where the limit lies."

He raised his hand and blood spurted out.

After a while, the old demon slowly closed his eyes.

And never opened them again.

It was unknown how much time had passed when a black mist surged up, roaring and shaking the cold pool, causing the waterfall and the Milky Way to flow backwards, and the mountains to rumble and shake.

"Why, where is my immortality?" the old demon exclaimed.

...

On the tenth day of the public beta.

Nine Bamboo Mountain, Three Pristine Peak.

As the number of players arriving one after another increased, four people per Alchemy Room was no longer enough to accommodate everyone. Lu Bei instructed the latecomers to set up camp in the deep pool behind the mountain and cleared a space in front of the gate.

After adding dozens of tents, they were barely settled.

In just ten days, the pill task in Great Victory Pass was nearing completion. Lu Bei quickly notified the Zhu Family Trading Company at the foot of the mountain to send another batch of herbs, increasing the quantity tenfold.

Only accepting subpar quality, with the price difference made up in silver notes.

If anyone dared to provide good quality, he guaranteed that he would confront them on the spot!

With a two-month deadline, they could complete it in fifteen days. The high efficiency was mainly due to one word: "scroll."

The thirty outer disciples felt pressure, both internally and externally.

The sect leader had said that he was disappointed with their performance in front of the gate that day. After pondering overnight, he made the decision that if the outer disciples engaged in bullying behavior again, they could be expelled from the sect.

For the hundred or so players who were not included in the list of outer disciples, the sect leader felt that it was his fault for the lack of moral character in his disciples and his ineffective teaching. As compensation, he provided them with an 80 Skill Points "Clear Sky Daoist Alchemy Technique" and squeezed out a large amount of resources for them to practice alchemy.

Furthermore, the sect leader made a promise that although they were not outer disciples, if anyone had exceptional talent and excellent character and had the opportunity to enter the Foundation Building Stage, the Ascension Gate would reward them with a high-level technique suitable for the Foundation Building Stage.

According to the sect leader, this was called "immortal fate." With diligence, everyone had a chance to succeed.

Those who entered the sect felt pressure, while those who hadn't felt motivated. Without Lu Bei's fertilization, the leeks grew on their own.

In the eyes of the players, the sect leader of Ascension Gate was a transcendent figure who had transcended low-level interests. Only Lu Bei knew that he had set the rules to prevent players from secretly engaging in battles and shifted the way to gain experience from alchemy to fighting.

Cultivation should be based on practice, and enlightenment should be applied based on one's nature. Drawing a knife and stabbing someone at every opportunity was not good. This was not how cultivation worked.

The next day, the players saw a notice posted in front of the gate: Ascension Gate prohibits private fights. Anyone who fights fiercely in Three Pristine Peak, regardless of their identity, will be expelled from the mountain.

There was also good news. Because the number of leeks increased, Lu Bei gradually discovered the technique of issuing tasks and was currently accumulating experience.

A few days ago, the number of players increased dramatically, and Lu Bei felt sorry for a few of them who were busy with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. He recruited a few players to help with cooking.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act led to successful task issuance, and several players happily ran to the kitchen, which also aroused great enthusiasm among other players.

Based on his current experience, Lu Bei found that tasks couldn't be issued at will, but rather, he could only give appropriate tasks when players had a demand.

This interesting discovery made Lu Bei contemplate his own situation when triggering tasks.

Soon, he put aside these random thoughts. The urgent matter was to urge the Zhu Family Trading Company to deliver the goods as soon as possible to satisfy the eager leeks.

It wasn't his fault that he was anxious. Every day he had free time, he lost a day of experience. If the players didn't have achievements, they wouldn't be happy, and he wouldn't be happy either.

Currently, the leeks had just learned the skill, so the experience gained was not much, and the output rate of several furnaces was very low. After waiting for some time, when the technical workers became proficient, the output rate would enter an explosive period, which would be the time for him to make a big profit.

As for the current losses...

Forget it, it was his own fault for being too kind-hearted!

Lu Bei had already calculated it. When the first batch of players reached the Foundation Building Stage, he would drive them away and recruit new players. The master would lead the disciples, so they could learn by example and form a virtuous cycle, ensuring that Three Pristine Peak always had fresh blood.

It was great. The players would earn enough experience to reach the Foundation Building Stage and proudly leave the beginner village. Each person would have a bright future.

Lu Bei didn't seek fame or fortune. He only hoped that when the players succeeded in the future, they would remember to visit him, the old village chief, when they passed by the beginner village.

...

At the foot of the mountain, a man in black climbed up the steps.

With a stunning appearance and an arrogant charm that surpassed all others, any screenshot taken from any angle would pale in comparison to the perfect beauty that female players had painstakingly created.

Beauty is innate and cannot be created.

Hu San.
