Chapter 2 West Lake in the Rain and Mist, Encountering the White Snake
Xu Xuan is a master of game strategy.
During the closed beta of "Myths of the Gods", while other players were still figuring out how to play, Xu Xian had already completed the game.
Throughout the closed beta test, he completed the game several times and even found all the treasures, opportunities, and hidden easter eggs.
But it never achieved a perfect ending.
When the public beta was launched, Xu Xuan finally discovered the most perfect and fastest way to complete the game.
Xu Xian at the start!
In The Myths of the Gods, this is not a good choice.
In fact, it's not even an option.
Because the player's character needs to cultivate and collect treasures and supernatural powers.
Xu Xian had to first experience being scared to death during the Dragon Boat Festival, and then consume the immortal herb stolen by the White Snake before he could barely begin his cultivation journey.
The world of "Myth of the Gods" is very realistic, and the NPCs in the dungeons are not in a state of time stop.
Even while Xu Xian is wasting time, the story of the instance will continue as usual.
As the saying goes, if you're slow at one step, you'll be slow at every step.
By the time Xu Xian had achieved some success in his cultivation and was qualified to open the dungeon, most of the dungeon's story had already ended.
Until the end of the Myth of the Gods version, Xu Xian's cultivation level was almost insufficient to unlock the Journey to the West: Crossing Tribulations version.
Therefore, even though Xu Xian was forced to marry Bai Suzhen, a powerful demon, he was still a nobody.
But Xu Xuan knew that there was a copy of "Lord Ye Loves Dragons" in Hangzhou.
If you force yourself to join this instance and say a few nice words to Hanlong, Hanlong will give you the "Yin Yang Intercourse Method," which is considered god-level in the early stages of the game!
This cultivation method not only allows Xu Xian's cultivation to improve rapidly, but also greatly benefits Bai Suzhen.
Although he had never played the role of Xu Xian before, he was confident that he could speedrun the game perfectly based on his understanding of the plot!
Xu Xian opened his game panel and examined it carefully.
Name: Xu Xian
[Level: 1 (Mortal)]
[Constitution: 1 (Physically weak)]
[Mana: 0]
Comprehension: 2 (Average comprehension)
[Fortune: 3 (Somewhat fortunate)]
[Divine Sense: 0]
[Technique: Yin-Yang Harmony Technique (Blue) (Not Activated)]
[Supernatural Powers: None]
[Treasure: None]
[Dao Qi: 0]
"As expected of Xu Xian, this body is weak even among mortals."
The game "Myths of the Gods" abandons the complex realm system, and all beings, whether mortals, monsters, or gods and Buddhas, are classified by level to determine their strength.
Levels 1-20 belong to mortals or minor demons.
A typical human can reach level 3 or 4 after training.
Li Gongfu, Xu Xian's brother-in-law, was a constable in Qiantang County and his rank reached level 4.
Legend has it that some mortals who can fight monsters with their strength are even at level 9 or 10.
Ordinary minor demons in Journey to the West who have not yet taken human form belong to this category.
Levels 21-40 are considered powerful demons.
Lady White Bone is the weakest in this category.
She has no background or powerful magic, but she is proficient in the art of transformation, making her a great demon.
The three demons of Chechi Kingdom, Lord Xiongshan, General Yin, and the Jade-Faced Fox are also among the demons in this category.
Levels 41-60 can be called Demon Kings.
This is the ranking of most of the monsters in Journey to the West.
Examples include the Spider Demon, Red Boy, and Yellow Wind Monster.
Levels 61-80 represent the stage of transcending the ordinary and entering sainthood.
Powerful figures such as Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen, and the Bull Demon King belong to this category.
As for those above level 81, they are the true players in the mythical world, the ones who set the rules.
Beings at this level are extremely rare, numbering only a handful, including the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, Bodhi Patriarch, and Zhenyuan Daxian.
Of course, besides level, magical artifacts and supernatural powers, as well as the mutual generation and restraint of attributes, are also important factors in determining strength.
The Scorpion Demon could sting the Buddha, but it was no match for the Rooster Crow of the Pleiades Star Lord. Huang Mei, with his acquired human seed bag, trapped countless gods and Buddhas.
The same principle applies to all of them.
Therefore, in addition to improving his own level, Xu Xian also needs to acquire treasures and supernatural powers from various mythological stories.
Only then can we gain an advantage when the Journey to the West: Salvation version is launched.
"Although the Myth of the Gods version has a level cap of 60, you can still obtain many powerful treasures and supernatural abilities by following my perfect speedrun guide."
"That's enough!"
"In the next part of 'The Legend of the White Snake,' you need to reach level 10 before [Bai Suzhen steals the immortal herb]."
"Only in this way can the efficacy of the Ganoderma lucidum be maximized, allowing me to shed my mortal body and become a pure being."
"It's March now. Xu Xian will be scared to death on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. There are still two months left."
"Simply relying on arduous practice is not enough."
"There are a few level twelve or thirteen rat demons in the city, which will be perfect for improving my cultivation!"
"There's no time to rest."
Xu Xian left the Ye residence and headed home.
He lived in Qingbomen. His parents died early, and he only had one older sister named Xu Jiaorong.
Both his sister and brother-in-law treated Xu Xian extremely well.
Xu Xian stepped into the mansion and saw his sister sitting in the hall, anxiously looking out.
Upon seeing Xu Xian return home, the sister was initially delighted, but then her expression turned angry.
The older sister strode up to Xu Xian and grabbed his ear, yelling, "How dare you drink and not come home!"
Xu Xian noticed the bloodshot in his sister's eyes; it was clear she hadn't slept all night.
He naturally dared not resist and could only beg for mercy: "Sister, spare me, I'm all grown up now."
"You've grown up?! You even know you've grown up? When are you going to bring me a wife?"
As the eldest sister, Xu Jiaorong was naturally most concerned about her younger brother's marriage.
In the past, when this issue was brought up, Xu Xian would only blush and wave his hands repeatedly.
But in the last few days, my younger brother seems to have suddenly become enlightened.
His original awkwardness disappeared, replaced by a more sophisticated demeanor.
Even when it came to the topic of marriage, Xu Xian no longer objected, only saying that the time was not yet right.
Today, when the topic of marriage came up again, Xu Xian acted out of character.
He helped his sister to a chair, gently massaged her back, and said, "Please prepare the betrothal gifts for me, sister. My heart already belongs to someone else."
"What?!"
Xu Jiaorong stood up abruptly, tears welling in her eyes: "Which family's daughter is she? How old is she? What does she look like?"
Xu Xian helped his sister back into the chair: "Sister, please be patient, we'll know the answer tomorrow!"
"Good, good, good!"
The older sister said "good" three times in a row, and then went out to buy incense, candles and paper money to pay respects to her deceased parents.
Xu Xian went back to his room to rest, while looking at the cultivation technique in his mind.
If he wants, he can directly embark on the path of cultivation.
"The Yin-Yang Intercourse Technique is a blue-level technique, extremely profound."
"With my 2 points of comprehension, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the basics down within six months."
"However, in addition to relying on comprehension to get started, cultivation techniques can also be activated directly by meeting certain conditions."
"Because of the censorship of the official website, the perfect activation conditions for the Yin-Yang Intercourse Method have never been released by the official website."
"How could you possibly stump me?"
"This is, after all, a dragon clan technique; the answer is practically right in front of us."
"The day I marry Bai Suzhen will be the day I begin my cultivation!"
"We should go to the Broken Bridge tomorrow."
The next day, it was still shrouded in mist and rain.
It doesn't affect travel, but it adds a lot of charm.
Xu Xian asked for leave from the clinic to pay respects to his ancestors.
After burning yellow paper and lighting incense and candles, they went straight to the Broken Bridge in West Lake.
West Lake has ten scenic spots.
Although some well-informed later generations may think that these ten scenic spots are somewhat forced and do not deserve such a grand title.
However, the cultural heritage contained within the scenery cannot be faked.
Throughout history, countless literati and poets have composed poems and essays, bestowing upon West Lake an extremely high cultural status.
Every scene in West Lake has a corresponding famous poem or verse, which is truly delightful.
Xu Xian stood on the Broken Bridge, gazing at the misty West Lake, and sighed that the scenery was truly captivating.
After watching for a while, he knew it was time, so he walked down the Broken Bridge and strolled along the West Lake.
A moment later, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower back, as if he had been hit by something.
coming……
Bai Suzhen.
A level 40 demon is only a hair's breadth away from becoming a demon king.
Xu Xian's most important asset in the early stages!
He looked down and saw a jade hairpin lying on the ground.
The hairpin was about six inches long, smooth and lustrous, and shone with a tender green light in the sunlight.
It looks very valuable.
Xu Xian thought to himself, "It really is a [Jade Hairpin], a green-quality treasure."
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing have arrived.
He picked up the hairpin, a puzzled look on his face, and then looked up to search for it.
"Young lady, may I ask if this is your jade hairpin?"
Did you lose your jade hairpin?
Xu Xian pretended to ask questions for a while, and sure enough, he saw two people dressed in blue and white dresses looking down and searching not far away.
Ha, you're putting on quite a good act.
Xu Xian smiled and approached Bai Suzhen: "Miss, are you looking for this hairpin...?"
When Bai Suzhen looked up, their eyes met.
Xu Xian was momentarily dazed.
That's really:
With bright eyes and white teeth, she possessed a captivating beauty; her simple dress fluttered gently in the breeze, carrying a fragrant scent.
Her graceful and ethereal beauty is untouched by worldly dust; her smile is captivating and enchanting to all.
This modeling is just too exaggerated...
And there should be background music in the game.
Although it has become a real world, without the background music, it still lacks a lot of charm.
Xu Xian immediately looked away, returned the hairpin, and took his leave.
He arrived at the West Lake, boarded a small boat, and counted down three, two, one.
rain!
The sky immediately darkened, and the misty rain turned into a torrential downpour!
"Ha, you've got me figured out!"
