Chapter 40: The Folkways of Bei Feng City

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The two of them walked to the city gates and looked up at the ten-meter-tall city gates. There were people coming and going from Bei Feng City, and they could occasionally see the carriages pulled by mutated beasts rushing into the city.

After entering Bei Feng City, Yu Xiaoman said, “The system has notified me that I’m out of the danger zone once we step into the city. I’m so tired, this is my first experience of being trapped in the game. I’ll go offline now. Master, bye bye!”

After saying that, Yu Xiaoman logged out of the game.

Lu Yu stared at her, wanting to see what would happen to her character after she logged out of the game.

Suddenly, Yu Xiaoman’s character walked into the crowd. Lu Yu wanted to find her character again, but he couldn’t.

“How?” Lu Yu looked at the crowd of people in front of him, not understanding what was going on. He had clearly seen Yu Xiaoman walk in just now, so why couldn’t he find her now?

It was as if Yu Xiaoman had become one of the characters in the background, and her sense of presence had been forcefully erased.

Lu Yu scratched the back of his head, unable to make sense of what was going on. He could only follow the flow of people and walk into Bei Feng City.

“Should I go to Bei Feng Academy first? Or should I go to the Divine Weapon Pavilion first?”

…

After walking for a while, Lu Yu realized that the Bei Feng City regional chat channel was so lively.

Through the hawkers by the side of the road, Lu Yu found out the Divine Weapon Pavilion’s location. After coming to the Divine Weapon Pavilion to show the recruitment token, he was placed in a pavilion.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion’s deacon told him that the entrance test was arranged in a mystic realm that would be opened the day after tomorrow. He only needed to gather at the entrance of the Divine Weapon Pavilion in the morning of that day. During this period, he could move freely during the rest of the time.

Not long after Lu Yu settled down, someone came looking for him.

A red-haired youth knocked on the door of Lu Yu’s room. When Lu Yu opened the door, he realized that it was someone he did not know.

The youth stretched out his hand to greet him and said, “My name is Ouyang Lie. I live next door to you, and I arrived at Bei Feng City a few days earlier than you.”

Lu Yu shook hands with him and introduced himself, “My name is Lu Yu.”

“You also came here because you received that token, right? After the elder gave me this token, he chased me out of the clan. I had to walk over a thousand miles before I arrived at Bei Feng City.”

Ouyang Lie seemed to be complaining to Lu Yu about the elder of his clan, and Lu Yu did not know how to respond.

“Oh right, there’s another person on this level. That guy seems to be from Bei Feng City. I only met him once and I haven’t seen him here since.”

“In order to celebrate our acquaintance, let me treat you to a meal!”

Lu Yu was a little confused. Why was he so friendly?

He pulled Lu Yu and left the room. As they walked, he said, “Let me tell you, I know a cheap and delicious place. Today, I’ll bring you to have a taste.”

Half an hour later, Lu Yu looked at Ouyang Lie who was wolfing down food in front of him. He felt as if he had been cheated.

Ouyang Lie seemed to have run out of money, which was why he had dragged Lu Yu here to have a meal. Lu Yu admitted that the dishes here were indeed delicious.

As expected, Lu Yu was the one to pay for the meal. Ouyang Lie did not have a single copper coin on him, but he did not eat much either. The two of them ate for half a day, but only spent 8 silver coins and 56 copper coins.

Lu Yu did not care about this little bit of money.

Lu Yu and Ouyang Lie were walking back to their room, and asked him, “Did you not bring money when you came here?”

Ouyang Lie’s face immediately fell. “Yes, I did. The elder gave me a lot of money, but a thief stole all of my money. Fortunately, the token wasn’t lost, or else I wouldn’t even have a place to sleep.”

“In order to thank you for treating me to a meal, I’ll tell you a piece of info.” Ouyang Lie looked around and whispered to Lu Yu, “Be careful when you sleep at night. Someone will come and steal your token.”

“Steal the hero recruitment token?” Lu Yu did not expect that the public security in Bei Feng City would be so bad?

[Mission obtained — protect the hero recruitment token. This is a test from the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Mission reward: the entry test for official disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.]

[Hint: you cannot go offline during the mission period.]

After the two of them returned to their living quarters, they returned to their respective rooms. Lying on the bed, Lu Yu was on high alert. It seemed that he might not be able to sleep tonight.

After eating his fill, Lu Yu laid down on his bed and looked at Bei Feng City regional chat. Most of the messages were about trading of items and finding people to form teams. Basically, everyone was using anonymity, and no one revealed their real names.

It was possible that someone was using their real names, but Lu Yu had not seen it until now. In a sense, this phenomenon meant that the players were not so friendly to each other.

It was almost midnight, but there were still a few messages from time to time in the regional chat. It seemed that there were quite many players who were playing the game all night.

Lu Yu heard a snore coming from the next room. It was Ouyang Lie’s snore.

“Someone will come and steal the token. How can he fall asleep?”

After waiting for two hours, Lu Yu felt a little sleepy. His eyelids were about to close. Other than Ouyang Lie’s snore, he did not hear any movement from the thief.

The sound of twigs rubbing against each other could be heard. It was not noticeable under Ouyang Lie’s snoring. Lu Yu did not seem to notice it either. He was lying on the bed, breathing evenly.

As expected, there was masked man snuck into Lu Yu’s room. After rummaging through Lu Yu’s bag on the table, the masked man did not find the hero recruitment token. He was a little anxious.

Looking at Lu Yu who was lying on the bed with his back to him, the masked man walked towards Lu Yu gently.

Lu Yu suddenly turned around and scratched his stomach. The person suddenly stopped and after careful observation, he found that Lu Yu seemed to have fallen asleep.

Then, he saw a bulge on Lu Yu’s clothes. It seemed to be the hero recruitment token.

He reached out and grabbed the hero recruitment order gently. Suddenly, Lu Yu’s hand suddenly grabbed his arm. Lu Yu opened his eyes to stare at him.

An invisible pressure enveloped the masked man’s body. He felt that he was being stared at by a powerful demonic beast. It was the aura of the Fierce Tiger Fist Style.

Lu Yu was about to get up and remove the masked man’s mask, but he felt that the arm in his hand was as slippery as a loach. He could not grab it at all.

He subconsciously used the Black Tiger Heart Piercing, and his fingers instantly became extremely hard. The tip of his finger pierced through the masked man’s night clothes and left five bloody marks on his arm.

The masked man seemed to have cultivated some kind of special martial skill, and his skin became smooth and tough. Lu Yu used the Black Tiger Heart Piercing to strengthen his fingers, but he was unable to pierce through the masked man’s skin. Lu Yu was unable to catch that masked man.

Peng ~ the masked man broke through the window and escaped from Lu Yu’s room. Lu Yu chased after him to the window and stopped chasing. He looked at the Divine Weapon Pavilion guards patrolling the courtyard below.

This kind of behavior seemed to be permitted by the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Those patrolling guards did not react at all.

Perhaps, this was also one of the tests the Divine Weapon Pavilion had for those who had the hero recruitment token.

Lu Yu returned to the bedside. The snoring sound next door had become softer when the masked man was in his room. Now, it had returned to its original volume.

Noticing the change in the snoring sound, Lu Yu knew that he had underestimated Ouyang Lie.

Lu Yu was still awake. He was on guard against the masked man.

The next day, the rooster crowed. Everyone walked out of their rooms to eat the breakfast prepared for them by the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Of course, they could eat outside if they wanted to.

Lu Yu lived in a compound with a circular structure. He and Ouyang Lie both lived on the top floor, which was a room. There were also B, C, and D rooms below. They were other people who wanted to join the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The difference was that they had already gone through many trials before they reached this stage. Lu Yu and Ouyang Lie took the recruitment token and went straight to the last stage.

Looking at the regional chat, he found that the messages of wanting to purchase the hero recruitment token was still popping up. The other party would also occasionally send a message in the middle of the night to ensure that everyone could see it immediately.

Lu Yu felt that it was a little strange. Why did that person want to obtain the hero recruitment token so eagerly? He felt that this token was not hard to come by. He had not done anything, yet Shopkeeper Ge had found him and stuffed the token into his hands.

Perhaps the person who tried to steal his token last night was a player. Currently, Lu Yu did not have any good ways to differentiate who was a player and who was an NPC. He didn’t meet many players after all.

He glanced at Yu Xiaoman in his friend list and realized that she had yet to log on. It should be said that she had not logged on since she logged off yesterday. He did not know if she had been frightened by the game.

Yesterday, Yu Xiaoman and Lu Yu had walked for a full five to six hours before they reached Bei Feng City from the forest. On the way, Yu Xiaoman wanted to log out of the game. However, she was notified by the system that she was in a dangerous area and could not log out of the game.

She was only allowed to log out of the game when she entered Bei Feng City. The terrifying gaming experience might have really traumatized her.

While eating, Lu Yu felt that the people around him seemed to be hostile towards him. Ouyang Lie acted as if he did not feel the gazes of the people around him at all. After eating a bowl of porridge, Ouyang Lie get up to get another bowl.

When Ouyang Lie left, a lanky man walked up to Lu Yu and sat down. Lu Yu subconsciously looked at his left hand. There were no signs of injury. The masked man from last night was not him.

“Genius, I heard that you are also going to participate in the mystic realm trial the day after tomorrow?” The lanky man said in an unfriendly tone.

Lu Yu ignored him. The other party was deliberately trying to stir up trouble. If Lu Yu responded, he would only fall for the other party’s trick.

“I advise you not to participate in the trial. Without qi cultivating realm cultivation, entering the Fiery Rain Mountain mystic realm is courting death. You might as well give me the recruitment token and save your own life.”

“I won’t bully you.” the lanky man threw out a money bag and pointed at it. “There’s 1000 gold inside. Hand over the token and take the money back to your hometown. Otherwise, you might die in the mystic realm.”

The lanky man had finished investigating Lu Yu’s identity yesterday. He discovered that Lu Yu was only a martial cultivator from a remote village. Lu Yu did not have any background in Bei Feng City, so he “advised” Lu Yu not to participate in the mystic realm trial and to hand over the token.

Ouyang Lie had just returned to the seat. When he saw the lanky man sitting in his seat, he frowned and said, “Move aside..”
