There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 339 - Chapter 339: 339, [Main Quest Fully Unlocked] (Seeking monthly ticket!)

Chapter 339: 339, [Main Quest Fully Unlocked] (Seeking monthly ticket!)

This question was also discussed by many players on the forum in my previous life.

Many ridiculous players had wild imaginations, and put forward all kinds of opinions.

Someone said that the Foreign Race was players from another timeline.

We are the protectors of Heavenly Dust while they are the attackers!

Initially, a lot of people supported these opinions because they were radically creative, amusing and, to some extent, seemingly reasonable.

However, as players continued to encounter the Foreign Race, more and more began to doubt this speculation.

Because the Foreign Race really can die.

Even if we assume they’re playing a game with only one life, it’s still unreasonable.

Because the madness and despair in their eyes when they die are unmistakably real.

If they are indeed playing a game, then it’s a game where they’re gambling with their own lives!

Once they die in the game, they’re dead in reality as well!

Isn’t that too crazy …

Of course, this led to even more speculation.

After all, it’s not impossible! There are many novels, movies, and animations with similar settings.

However, more players were not interested in these discussions.

Heavenly Dust is just a game, so everything inside is just data.

If there’s anything unusual about the Foreign Race, it’s all designed by the game developers. Why overthink it?

It’s as if they’ve entered a real world.

Once, Lu Xun also thought quite the same.

But now things have changed.

He shook his head, telling himself not to overthink. Overthinking won’t help now. More importantly, he needs to power up before the large-scale descend of the Foreign Race!

“I wonder if it’s because of my handsome butterfly, the player’s public test is a year early.”

“Then, will my handsome butterfly cause the Foreign Race to come earlier by vigorously flapping its wings again?”

Upon thinking this, Lu Xun thought it was not impossible.

But in any case, the Heavenly Dust Continent has taken the lead this time.

In a battle between armies, making the enemy launch an attack before they’re fully prepared is definitely an advantage.

The hope is that after taking the initiative, we can gradually expand our advantage.

Days passed one after another, and the seven Great Sects were constantly in action.

However, at this stage, the Demon Sect had relatively less to do.

And, the day of the inner door promotion examination was upon them.

“I wonder how Ji Li’s preparation is going?” Lu Xun thought to himself.

He rode a paper crane and specifically went to the Demon Sect Outer Sect.

With everyone’s attention, he entered the courtyard where Ji Li was located.

In the courtyard, Ji Li was practicing swordsmanship.

She was dressed in a black cloak, wielding the Wedding Sword, practicing swordsmanship. When she saw Lu Xun, she pointed the sword towards him in a playful, sudden attack.

Lu Xun put his left hand behind his back and gently pointed with his right hand.

His finger touched the body of the Wedding Sword, the sword trembled violently, and was then shot away.

Seeing this, Ji Li could only run to the distance to pick up the Wedding Sword, looking somewhat foolish.

Watching her run away, Lu Xun felt indifferent.

But when she picked up the Wedding Sword and ran back towards him, something stirred in his heart.

After all, she was outright provocative.

“Lu Xun, why does my sword refuse to obey me after you sent it flying?” Ji Li asked with confusion.

Logically, even if the sword was sent flying, it should fly back to her with a wave of her hand.

“Because of suppression,” Lu Xun responded briefly.

“Oh.” Ji Li simply nodded, not fully understanding, just feeling awe for his abilities.

Actually, Lu Xun had used the special skill of the Sword Sheath, Sword Sealing, in unison, hence achieving such results.

Of course, he did this to punish her for her mischief, not because he wanted to see Ji Li run to pick up her sword.

“How are your preparations for the Inner Sect promotion examination?” Lu Xun asked.

“Responding to Young Elder, Ji Li has been diligently training every day!” she announced, standing tall and bright.

“That’s good.” Lu Xun nodded in approval.

He hoped Ji Li would perform well.

Since Lu Xun had come all the way here, Ji Li quickly showed her sycophantic side, starting to peel oranges for him.

As she peeled, she asked, “Lu Xun, is something big going to happen? Will the ancient catastrophe really repeat itself?”

As an Outer Sect Disciple, Ji Li was gradually finding out about the Foreign Race.

The seven Great Sects had been slowly revealing this information, from the top down, so that their disciples could prepare earlier and stay vigilant towards the Foreign Race.

Lu Xun took the peeled orange from Ji Li, broke it in half, placed half of it in Ji Li’s small hand, and started eating the other half.

While eating, he said, “Mmm, the situation is indeed grave, so you must train diligently. Enhancing your self-defence abilities is a necessity. After all, I can’t be by your side all the time.”

Upon hearing his words, Ji Li felt the orange in her mouth become even sweeter.

Because the meaning behind Lu Xun’s words was clear: if he were to be right beside her, he would definitely protect her.

Well, that’s just how Ji Li prioritizes her thoughts…

“Recently, I observed a lot of people in the Outer Sect discussing this matter,” Ji Li said.

“Oh? And what sorts of reactions are they having?” asked Lu Xun.

“Some are very nervous, while others… seem quite excited,” Ji Li replied.

Hearing this, Lu Xun couldn’t help but chuckle.

Who could be the excited ones? Of course, they were those silly players!

He guessed that the big guilds and professional clubs must have held meetings about this situation.

Anyone with sufficient gaming experience would know just by thinking about it; a grand plotline is about to unfold!

It could very well be a main quest!

In his past life, Lu Xun was also among the excited masses.

To be exact, his account, the Explosive Temper Great Cane Hero, started off quite ordinary. It was only when he latched onto certain opportunities in the Foreign Invasion main quest that he rose to prominence.

Once his power increased, he started making a good deal of money in “Heavenly Dust,” and even managed to leave the foreign races busted.

Right now, Lu Xun was casually chatting with Ji Li while multitasking, browsing through forum posts.

Currently, 80% of the forum posts were about the foreign races.

Of course, the Purple Palace made their appearance in this incident as well.

Some details were not concealed by the Demon Sect or the two Sword Sects.

The players were all aware that upon leaving the West State, the Purple Palace had suffered a surprise attack from the foreign races.

First, the Monument of West State soared into the heavens, helping the Purple Palace fight the enemy, and then the Purple Palace interrogated the foreigner, Yin Tian, obtaining a great deal of information related to the foreign races.

Isn’t this a World Protagonist situation?

The protagonist spotlight was now so glaring it could blind someone.

This caused the Demon Sect players to swell with pride, and his group of Sword-Serving Children rose in status within their guilds and clubs, aside from the two who weren’t professional players.

“We backed the right person, hahaha!” That was the genuine thought of Cai Jiangjiang and the others.

This was also one of Lu Xun’s goals.

With the identity of a World Protagonist, his say in matters was distinctively different.

The players would view him as a key character in the main quests, observing and following his every move.

This made it convenient for him to utilize these tools of people.

At that moment, one post after another was popping up on the forum, clearly indicating that some major event had occurred, causing an uproar in the forum.

Lu Xun clicked and read a few posts; it turned out all players had received a task notice, unlocking the main quest—Foreign Invasion!

The reason Lu Xun hadn’t received the notice was because he forcibly triggered this quest when he was demolishing the first altar.

While sitting in the courtyard, he could hear the commotion from outside.

The silly players were getting all worked up again.

It gave him the feeling of a big event happening within a male student dormitory.

“What’s the ruckus outside?” Ji Li asked, puzzled.

“Pay it no mind, peel another orange for me,” Lu Xun said.

“Okay.” Ji Li obediently nodded and proceeded to peel another orange.

Meanwhile, Lu Xun was startled by a task reminder that suddenly popped in front of him.

“[Ding! Faction Contribution Points ranking has opened!]”

Lu Xun was slightly shocked, but wasn’t too surprised.

After all, this was something he had dealt with in his past life. Back then, he was even a known figure on the leaderboard!

Just a lot of scrolling down was needed…

This board didn’t just tally players’ contributions, but NPC’s as well.

However, not all NPCs were counted in, only those whose levels were not more than 20 levels higher than the highest player level.

That is to say if the highest player level is now at 20, then the highest NPC in this list could only be at level 40.

Players could refer to this leaderboard to identify which NPCs had made significant contributions in the main quests.

These kinds of NPCs are usually key characters in the plot!

To put it plainly, they are just the kind that players could excessively flatter and they definitely wouldn’t lose out!

At this very moment, all players, after a brief moment of shock, instantly clicked on the [Faction Contribution Points Ranking].

They initially thought since the main quest [Foreign Invasion] just started, there shouldn’t be many people on the board yet. But the result was beyond their expectations.

“How can this be?” The players wore baffled expressions.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few people.

And at the top of the leaderboard, was a name very familiar to the players.

His contribution points were as high as 13,187 points!

[Demon Sect Player Lu Xun]!

(ps: Second update. Luckily, I didn’t forget to record the data. The contribution points tally is strict, calculated three times just to be sure. Please give your monthly votes)
