Chapter 92: Chapter 88: The Path of the King’s Strategy

After hiding at home and playing games for nearly four days, Lin Qianxuan felt as if he had been isolated from the world for too long and was finally seeing the light of day again.

He looked up at the moons in the sky, curious about which one was the world from the game.

“Sir, your order is ready. Please enjoy.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Qianxuan rolled up his sleeves, sipping juice while devouring the barbecue.

It wasn’t spicy, but it was fragrant enough.

Unfortunately, he was eating alone.

Lin Qianxuan took a photo and sent it to Chen Long’Er.

Chen Long’Er didn’t respond; she was probably already cultivating.

She had always been so diligent.

Either going out on duty for missions or hiding in the Cultivation Room to train.

The Cultivation Room in the Otherworld Bureau wasn’t just accessible to anyone.

It was essentially a cultivation accelerator, and many needed it.

Even internal personnel have less than ten hours of usage time per month.

Chen Long’Er used Jiang Mengli’s exclusive Cultivation Room.

That was a Cultivation Room with no usage time limits, and it’s said the Gathering Spirit effect was significantly stronger than ordinary rooms.

That’s why she could reach the Condensing Essence Realm so quickly, and according to her, reaching the Core Formation Realm should enable her to initially grasp Bloodline Power and successfully undergo Dragon Transformation.

However, despite this, she was not faster than Lin Qianxuan.

Currently, Lin Qianxuan was not lacking Spirit Crystals, and his efficiency in absorbing Spiritual Energy was higher.

Moreover, his internal Spiritual Power reserves were also higher than Chen Long’Er’s.

In many novels, those invincible at the same level, talented at needing more resources for cultivation, often cultivate a bit slower and then encounter higher-realm peers who bully them, providing the protagonist with cross-realm battle plots.

However, this is reality, and Lin Qianxuan overwhelmingly surpasses them in every aspect.

Resources, fate, cultivation speed, and strength he had far exceeded others.

Among his peers, only he would likely appear to crush pitiable foes with far less than one-tenth of his realm and strength with his more prominent realm and exaggerated power.

Lin Qianxuan secretly mocked himself, unable to help but laugh aloud.

Frankly, if he hadn’t encountered video platforms back then, he probably would’ve gone into the novel industry.

After all, the industry was also a somewhat lower threshold for him.

“Have you seen that video?”

“Which one?”

“The Wudang’s basic Qi Cultivation and Breathing Chapter, where the old immortal leapt over five meters high. They say it’s from practicing this… ”

“Really?”

“I’m telling you!”

The BBQ shop owner was bragging with an old customer in dialect; Lin Qianxuan was a bit curious.

He took out his phone, keyed in Wudang, and sure enough, there was a relevant video right away.

He clicked to watch, and it was a basic Breathing teaching, instructing how to Breathing Spiritual Energy, without touching upon advanced Extraordinary Knowledge or techniques for condensing Qi Vortex.

However, with such scant Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, gathering a Qi Vortex through regular Breathing isn’t easy either.

Without talent, three to five years to achieve it would be quite normal.

Lin Qianxuan discovered that Wudang’s Breathing teaching wasn’t even a standalone teaching video.

There were other teaching videos.

One of them taught punching, tempering Qi and Blood.

But all were equally fundamental, and the content had a certain threshold.

Even the platform had the Otherworld Bureau’s official account posting related videos, inviting civilian Transcendents to showcase certain things.

Is this intending to gradually make it a daily norm?

Lin Qianxuan took out the Otherworld Bureau’s phone, and checked the discussions inside the forum.

The internal members weren’t much different due to the information disclosure; for now, it was still as before. Only the non-staff members were somewhat excited.

Various groups had non-staff members trying to catch the wave of the era.

Lin Qianxuan had a premonition that this might be the prelude to an era’s beginning.

After finishing his meal, he scanned the code to pay and left.

Lin Qianxuan leisurely headed back home.

“Whoosh~!”

Under the moonlight, a massive black shadow swiftly flew by.

With his strong eyesight, Lin Qianxuan could tell it was a bat with over two meters wingspan, carrying a dead puppy in its mouth.

Without a second thought, Lin Qianxuan flicked his finger, and a Water Bullet shot out.

“Puff~!”

The bat’s head was pierced through, and it fell to the ground.

Lin Qianxuan continued forward as if nothing had happened.

Such things appearing in the city would be bad if they hurt someone.

But, if even in the city they could be seen, there were likely many of them.

How does the official handle them? Kill them all?

Regardless of whether they can be entirely exterminated, killing them all might not be appropriate either.

After all, there are some harmless spirits among them, and Earth isn’t exclusively for humans.

Lin Qianxuan didn’t think much; after all, it shouldn’t be his headache.

Upon returning home, Lin Qianxuan immediately sat in front of the computer.

He was preparing to start a seventh gameplay.

This time, he wasn’t following the evil path strategy, nor the righteous path strategy.

But instead, the royal path strategy.

This was the fastest and the best strategy he had seen through the [Eyes of the Muddled Heaven] during his previous playthroughs.

This route can be said to be the optimal solution.

It’s essentially a summary of experiences from players who have already completed the game, and it’s a route that only they can discover.

—————–

The seventh playthrough officially begins.

Starting in that wilderness, the game character manipulates water to clear out a group of impure spirits.

Then he engages in conversation with the Gongsun sisters.

Every word he says is exceedingly concise.

Moreover, he is not speaking the language of the Xuan Country, but directly using the language of the Great Qian Country.

Gongsun Yue is curious about how the game character knows the language of the Great Qian Country, but she doesn’t ask.

Upon reaching Zhang City, Lin Qianxuan has the game character skillfully use the cane called Tongshou, activating the Memory Ball left by Gao Ming, revealing side information about the existence of Wanxiang.

Gongsun Yue’s curiosity grows stronger, and even Gongsun Ying cannot suppress it.

[Gongsun Yue (looking at you in surprise): Sir, you seem very familiar with Zhang City?]

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Not quite familiar, I’ve just been here before.]

[Gongsun Ying (puzzled): Been here before?]

Lin Qianxuan doesn’t let the game character explain, but instead uses the excuse of resting to let him leave.

At this point, the strategy has just begun.

The groundwork has already been laid.

Ask yourself, a newcomer to this world, who knows everything about you, speaks your native tongue, and even vaguely knows about future events.

What would you think of him?

Foreseeing the future?

A reincarnator?

Of course, none of that matters.

What’s important is to let them know that you’ve worked hard many times.

The next morning, the game character is already helping to repair Divine Machines in the workshop.

His actions are skillful, his techniques exquisite.

He has even anticipated what needs to be done, preparing the necessary tools and materials in advance.

Gongsun Yue, sharp-minded as she is, has noticed something amiss, and now she is even more convinced that the appearance of the game character is not simple.

However, she does not ask.

Lin Qianxuan continues to have the game character assist Gongsun Yue with her work.

During the meal, he has the game character take out the precooked dishes he brought, providing extra food for Gongsun Yue.

[Gongsun Yue (surprised): Sir, what kind of meat is this? Some of the spices used are ones I can’t even recognize, the taste is so unique!]

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): As long as you like it, Yue’er….]

[Gongsun Yue (stunned): Yue…er….]

[Lin Qianxuan (stiffening his smile): Sorry, it’s just a habit…..]

After a simple conversation, Lin Qianxuan lets the game character continue eating.

Gongsun Yue looks at the game character in bewilderment, wondering how this is her first time hearing the game character call her so intimately, yet he says it’s a habit.

After planting the seed with Gongsun Yue, Lin Qianxuan has the game character move on to Gongsun Ying.

Not to learn Divine Martial from her, but to teach it to her.

He imparts the royal secret Divine Martial obtained from Emperor Feng to Gongsun Ying without reservation.

[Gongsun Ying (shocked): Lin, this [Heaven and Earth Opening Divine Saber Slash] is the martial technique used by the Divine Martial Great Emperor, right? I thought only the royal bloodline could learn it, how do you know it?]

[Lin Qianxuan (puzzled): Didn’t you not ask this before? Why ask it now?]

[Gongsun Ying (confused): Before?]

[Lin Qianxuan (waving his hand): Just consider it as something I obtained from a royal descendant, besides, I also know the “Nine Heavens True Thunder Body Tempering Technique” and “Wuxiang Earth Fire Demon Suppression Skill”…

These martial arts too, you can learn them. With your talent, you should be able to increase your strength considerably during this period.]

Gongsun Ying is bewildered.

She doesn’t think as deeply as Gongsun Yue; she just feels that the mystery around the game character is growing.

After teaching Gongsun Ying, Lin Qianxuan has the game character find a young man holding a wine jug in a residence in Zhang City.

The man is disheveled, with stubble covering his face, yet it’s faintly visible that he was once a handsome young man.

[Guan Hao (glancing at you): Who are you? Are you here to take my life?]

[Lin Qianxuan (smiling): Guan Hao, the first disciple of the current generation from Divine Wood Valley, do you want to see Nalan Yingying?]

[Guan Hao (freezing, sits up straight and looks at you seriously): Who are you, really?]

[Lin Qianxuan (laughing): Lin Qianxuan, an ordinary person swept up by fate.]

Guan Hao, in the Imperial City, truly the beloved of the palace concubine Nalan Yingying.

After the Calamity of Impurity, he hid in Zhang City, drowning in alcohol to escape, using his planting skills learned from Divine Wood Valley to maintain agricultural production in Zhang City.

How could he not have feelings for Nalan Yingying? She is his white moonlight.

But some worldly matters are beyond his control.

He originally thought that as long as Nalan Yingying lived well in the palace, it would be enough.

Who knew that later the Calamity of Impurity would disconnect them, and he thought Nalan Yingying had died. Plus, his sect was wiped out during the calamity, his mentors and peers all became corrupted and perished, leading him to become this half-wasted individual.

In truth, his strength is quite decent, with cultivation in the late Divine Manifestation Realm, considered a powerhouse on par with the Purple Bamboo Gentleman, of course, the uncorrupted Purple Bamboo Gentleman.

Obtaining his assistance can significantly ease the strategy.

Especially when facing Nalan Yingying, he could stay to escort Nalan Yingying with her soul not yet fully dissipated on her final journey.

Besides him, Zhang City also has many other strong Divine Manifestation experts, all of whom Lin Qianxuan, knowing their pasts, can find ways to recruit.

In just a few days in the game, with the help of strategy information, Lin Qianxuan manages to recruit seventeen Divine Manifestation experts into the Rebel Army.

These were all people who had previously given up, some possessing strengths unknown even to Gongsun Ying and the others.

Among them are even two top experts in the late Divine Manifestation Realm, Guan Hao and Bo Mu.

As a side note, Bo Mu is the successor found by the Carefree Pavilion on the brink of extinction due to the Calamity of Impurity, handsome and strong, possessing an Ink-colored Flute Sword called [Carefree].

He is skilled in Sound Attack Martial Arts, entering the scene playing his flute, providing various buffs to allies while weakening and directly attacking the enemies’ Primordial Spirits, making him a super support candidate.
